Thinking about spending summer with the NRC gang.
Riddle would have the best spots to go get books for our book worms. I'm not sorry to say he'd also have the best tea shops sorted because I have a feeling he's been to a few in his childhood with his parents. He knows where the good stuff is. Maybe now he can make better memories....
Trey is of course helping his families business, but don't worry he has time for you. Cue him handing you an apron after seeing you watching him work from over the counter. He teaches you how to make dough and knead it. If you didn't know what proofing was before you sure do now. And for some reason he makes laminating enjoyable...
Cater brings in an unexpected delight. A museum day with tickets he won. The museum is special though it's for taking photos and creating unique creations for content creators. He asks you for opinions and advice and at the end he agrees to do a booth with you. Lots of silly hats and filters. But he doesn't post those. Instead he uses the Polaroid they have and he takes two photos. As they slide out of the camera and he waves them to dry you miss how he gazes at the slowly forming images...
Deuce who takes you to the store with him. Don't ask why— they needed ice okay! Helping him fill a cart to take to check out and watching him shiver from carrying a bag cause he didn't want you pushing all of that.
Ace who is playing with a deck of cards, a rather one sided win is a foot till you kick his shin and a bunch of cheats fall from his jacket sleeve. Idiot.
Leona who won't commit to a plan but then commits at the last second just to annoy you. He likes seeing you get hot-blooded. So when you push him in the river back in his homeland it's well deserved. Watch your back....
Ruggie who takes you through the hidden parts of the Sunset, showing you the holes in the wall and getting you to ferry some jobs for him, maybe managing a few gigs he deemed less impactful to his overall lifespan. But at the end of the day he's still showing you where the good water is. Nothing like cool water after a long hot day on your feet. Ignore your sunburn, he will...
Jack who is happy to walk with you through the woods of his hometown, showing you where some berries are and how to find marks that others have left in case you get lost. He looks ridiculous with his tail sticking out behind the trees when he pretends to wander off so you have to practice finding your way back to the main road. Oh Jack never change...
Azul who does not want you to see him in his mer form. Forget a swimsuit. He's very keen on making a business model though for all the seaside restaurants that are local. Seriously, you can't take him anywhere without him making a pyramid scheme....
Jade is keen on exploring. Exploring what exactly? That's the problem. You are just along for wherever he decides to go. And this man is always finding something to be curious about so don't think it will be a short trip. You could end up in a bayou before dark with how vast his interests are. Don't worry, the gators are afraid of him....
Floyd would enjoy taking you to the beach, there's always so much going on and I think, unlike his brother, he'd want to show you pieces of his home. So expect him tugging you along to the tide pools at low tide and pulling out all sorts of creatures to shove in your face insisting it's edible and pretty.
Kalim teaches you how to stay cool in the desert. His favorite way involves his UM and plenty of fabric. Cold wet fabric draped across the neck and other parts of the body. He knew that heat stroke was awful and he didn't want you getting it so why not make heat protection fun! Cue a water fight and snapping wet fabric at each other....
Jamil you have to seek out before dawn, he may laugh at your pajamas though. He shows you a few movements to wake your body before the heat makes the stone too hot to walk on. It's a soft moment that is unexpected and not nearly as chaotic as how he normally had to operate...
Vil books you both an afternoon at a hot spring he loved. It wasn't a famous one, but a local place he found after a gig fell through years back. They treat him like family and don't seem to know who he is....
Rook games us to one of his family's chateaus. You can't tell me he wouldn't take you everywhere he's always wanted to bring those close to him. He's best friends with an actor and seems to be pretty well mannered beyond his enthusiasm, so when you watch him staring off a balcony at the sunset. For once oblivious to anything but the beauty before him, it makes you ask just who he was really....
Epel is all for taking you through Harveston. It wasn't quite apple picking season yet but he will have you helping him fertilize and water any trees that are struggling. And don't get it twisted, he won't just leave you to wander around, no matter how much you're slowing him down... Wonder where he learned that attitude from
Idia is perfectly content turning on the air conditioning and cranking up the blue light as he hands you a head piece to rage bait those he's on chat with. Eventually he starts getting into it and soon it becomes a game of how fast can you get banned. Popcorn and ice cream never tasted so sweet.
Ortho enjoys collecting seashells with you at the beach and building sand castles. He scans everything into his database and shares, if you're interested, where the shells originated and what animals once used them. Of course, the highlight of your day together is seeing the baby turtles hatch and make a run to the sea. Watching Ortho jump up and down cheering them on was a precious memory.
Malleus is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to hot weather. The fae realm in general is. Too hot, everyone is crabby, too cold, everyone is put out. Though he is a dragon fae so maybe he's the exception? He likes sunbathing it turns out. Don't worry he brought you an umbrella for shade. Just don't leave him alone...
Lilia will take you on a trip. No ifs, ands, or buts. You agree to spend a summer with him and he will make it the best one you have ever had. Just leave it to him! Those airport tickets looked mighty important though...
Sebek decides that heat means resistance training, just pull him aside and tell him he needs to keep his fluids up if he wants to be a good knight to his liege. Ignore his complaints he just doesn't know what to do when he's not taking care of someone...
Silver may I just say I fear has a personal relationship with sunburn. He falls asleep a lot, not his fault, but you my dear summer buddy of his are tasked with making sure he isn't a lobster by days end. Between the naps he tells you some stories and you both trade childhood horrors and food fails. No one can beat Lilia's cooking though. Silver wins.
Enjoy! Hope you find your inspiration Twisted!
