Anasui's Hallmark Catch-all Post
WHO: Anasui and maybe you! (But definitely Shoka, Maya, Flamebringer, Kris, Parvati, Bigby, III, Cedric and Noelle)
WHAT: Assorted quests and anything else involving the Bay's most fashionable bird
WHEN: Throughout December
WHERE: Assorted locations.
WARNINGS: Anasui's general warnings are here and may come up during some threads.
-------------------------------
Contrary to what his cold demeanour and aggressive behaviour may suggest, Anasui adores the holidays. While he never had been close to his parents or had many friends, Anasui enjoyed the merriment, the atmosphere, and the energy people had throughout the season. Christmas was also one of the few celebrations they were allowed to have at the G.D. Prison, and while they couldn't do much for it even getting that extra bit of pudding at dinner was enough.
But this year was different. Sure, the circumstances weren't perfect by any means, and he has to be a psychic ostrich for it, but for the first time in forever, he's celebrating the holidays (Pawlidays?) as a free man.
And as someone who didn't feel like they were dead.
It's a delight to be able to celebrate. He's already gotten his house a Christmas tree with Dolly's help and decorated the hell out of it but the spirit of the season has given Anasui a quiet yet notable energy. So much so that he spends much of his free time out and about throughout the month.
------
The Oran tunnels
One of the places Anasui can be found in is the Oran tunnels. Anasui rarely (if ever) visits despite having friends there but he'll drop by a couple of times this month, slowly and meticulously decorating parts of the tunnel. Shoka likely will see him pinning up garland and mounting wreaths, a small, notable smile on his face. On the other hand, Maya will see Anasui outright pulling down her decorations and moving them elsewhere...
The only time that Anasui will be in the tunnels and not decorating is when he's heading off to to help Akechi unravel the mysteries of the bay. Not having anything to bring but himself, Anasui shows up dressed in a festive hat on top of his usual one and a nice, knitted blanket with Pawliday symbols on his back like a shawl. As he walks, he notices the familiar shape of Flamebringer going the same direction he is. Having nothing against him, Anasui walks a little faster to catch up, though he does tilts his head curiously once he's close enough to see him...
"Where'd you get that board from?"
When he's not inside the tunnels, he's making soap nearby them. By the time Kris arrives to work with him, he's already started the fire and is boiling water. He looks up at Kris and nods to them.
"Told you that you're able to help the clinic in some way," he says plainly, in a way that could be considered a greeting.
------
At the Archives
Another place you'll likely see Anasui is at the Archives. It's more common to see him there than the Oran Tunnels but rather than having his face in a tome, he's actually sitting down in front of record keepers, ready to share his stories. Parvati likely will see Anasui getting comfortable on a rather nice pillow. He'll give Parvati a small nod in acknowledgement.
"You come to share as well?"
Bigby on the other hand, will find Anasui already spinning his tale. He's already started explaining how he and a guy called Weather Report escaped jail, but he pauses when he sees Bigby.
"Ah... You..." He seems... super embarrassed. Probably because of what happened last time they were here in the Archives. "... Hey."
He will be much less awkward when III or literally anyone else comes in to the Archives. Mostly because he has a deep, wistful expression on his face as he tries to find where to start.
"Have you ever met someone that brought you back to life? Someone who just came into your life and saved your corrupted soul? A human so, so beautiful that you could mistake for an angel?" He doesn't expect a response but he does look towards his unexpected guests.
He's almost certainly about to talk about Jolyne...
------
Out in the forest
But the season isn't all fun and games. Noelle's request to look for a strange Deerling still highlights the weird nature of this place. Thankfully, Anasui is in a good enough mood to deal with things... Enough to agree to working again with Cedric, anyway. Anasui nods in acknowledgement to the Murkrow before he looks towards the North towards the Sporest's Troop.
"Intel says it's this way. Let's move quickly before we lose daylight." Maybe he could have used his manners but Anasui isn't a big fan of those. He wants to get moving already...
Not long after that quest is completed though, Anasui will take Noelle aside and ask her quietly if she wants to help him with a quest to... locate moss (She's a grass type, she'd know about these sorts of things, right?). He still doesn't know what Noelle and Kris' deal is but he's glad that Noelle doesn't dismiss him outright when Anasui mentions who requested the moss. He wants to talk to her about things...
When Noelle arrives to their meeting spot, she'll see Anasui listening to a Leafeon. Anasui looks up as soon as he sees Noelle out of the corner of his eye and leaves the Leafeon mid-sentence, though the Pokemon doesn't notice as he's more than happy to talk to himself about the Eevees and Leafeons' storied history with the rock.
"We have a lead on the Mossy Rock - Apparently this guy knows where it is. Ready to go?"

:3 (sorry for the length!!!)
"Okay. I think I do have an adventure," Anasui said. "But I'm not the main character of this story. That would be Jolyne. Love of my life, my saviour." Anasui smiles softly, thinking of his love. Hell, he misses her so much.
"She's such an incredible woman... Strong, brave, fiercely determined. When she put her mind to something, nothing can stop her. I met her in Green Dolphin Prison and it was practically love at first sight. But she didn't notice me when we met... She was too focused on trying to save her father. To make a long story short, or at least shorter, his mind was imprisoned in a DISC and Jolyne was trying to find it. She didn't know where it was but there was an old metatarsal bone that her father's captor wanted somewhere in the Ultra Security Punishment Ward, home of some of America's most dangerous criminals. So working off the only clue she had, Jolyne went in there willingly in order to save her father. And I guess, that's the context for the start of my involvement in this adventure."
Hmmm... should he lead the gory details out? He looks around the room, trying to assess Parvati and the record keeping Pokemon. It should be fine? Maybe?
"... You have plankton where you're from, right?"
no subject
"I think most places have little fellas like that, yeah." She knows what they are, at any rate. But whether or not there's an active population in Halcyon...? She wouldn't hold her breath, not with all of the weird and invasive fish. It's a bit of an odd question, but Anasui is. Weird. Even by her extremely skewed standards of what constitutes as normal. So who is she to question it? Especially since she's here to listen, after all. "Why?"
no subject
"Just checking. Some of the places people are from are weird."
Some don't even have Disney."Some people get called to action by some sort of prophecy. I was called to Jolyne's side by a colony of plankton. I'll spare you the details but basically this plankton colony, F.F, was impersonating a dead woman and had befriended Jolyne. After Jolyne went to the Ultra Security Prison Ward, F.F. found out there were assassins after her and she knew she couldn't help her on her own. So naturally, she came to me, one of the only other Stand Users in prison not trying to kill them. Emporio tried to dissuade F.F. from wasting her time because I'm not... inclined to help people. But, naturally, when I heard Jolyne needed help, I jumped at the opportunity and stormed through the prison to get to her side. Security in the regular prison is tight, but I know it well and how the guards behaved. I knew how to take them out and remove the doors in a single kick."Behind Anasui, one of the record keepers is both trying to write notes and a list of questions to ask him later. They sure are struggling.
no subject
She's also really glad she knows what a Stand is already. Thanks Emporio, you've saved her at least twenty extra minutes before she thinks too hard and gets a headache. "I think every place you haven't been is gonna be weird. That's sort of how that works."
no subject
"Not necessarily. Things can and will be different but not necessarily weird. Weird brings the idea that it's not normal by any regard, it's not relatable in any sense. But differences can stem from a same point of origin." ... It makes sense to Anasui, in any case.
no subject
Everyone's found her plenty weird, but that goes away when the novelty of talking to someone from outer space wears off.
no subject
"... Hm... That's all I can think about, honestly. I see your point. Maybe things aren't really that weird after all."
But Anasui is from the place where removing the ozone can result in people turning into snails when they look at rainbows... so he's not the best person to measure what is and isn't weird.
no subject
"You wanna go back to your story? Unless our spirit sword friend is somehow a part of it." She leans forward to rest her cheek in her palm.
