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?"

crawls here from retail like i want hotpot...
Anasui has opinions. Good opinions, but expensive if left unchecked in this situation.
That aside, such discussion and argument falls to the wayside when he hears...a sound.
Breathing?? What?
Emporio looks up. "Uh....is someone up there..??"
He's on the other side of it, so he can't see Mayaka...though, given Anasui's height, the Espartha may likely be able to with just the tilt of a head.
ditto
The Espathra looks up and raises an eyebrow as he sees Mayaka. He's seen the Sneasel in the library before but hadn't bothered with her. What's happening now?
"The library isn't your personal jungle gym, you know." Wow, Anasui.
no subject
Oh, it's that yellow ostrich she's been avoiding. Something about the way he carried himself gave her the impression he didn't like being disturbed, and looks like her hunch was correct.
She's too focused on responding to this instigating remark, that she doesn't notice Emporio on the other side of the shelf.
"I'm just trying to put this back on the right shelf."
With his height, Anasui could easily reach the up and put the book back, but Mayaka is far too prideful to ask for his help now.
So she just.
Stares.
(At a steady, unblinking 45 degree angle because that's how much taller Anasui is.)
no subject
"Uhhh...." He's not even going to comment on what Anasui just said. That way lies frustration, and perhaps madness. Instead-
"...How did you get it safely down in the first place..." It looks dangerous up there!
no subject
... Oh boy, that's clearly something Anasui's been bothered about for a very long time. He doesn't even acknowledge Mayaka's looking at him or Emporio's question. He's more grumbling to himself about unorganised bastards.
no subject
She places the tablet back on the lowest shelf, before turning to address Emporio.
"I found the tablet down here, Rio-chan. It's supposed to go up there based on this section's shelving system. But what that guy is saying over there... he's not wrong too, I guess." She concedes with a little bit of reluctance. She would rather have a discussion about the best way to sort the tablets, than to leave the Archives in the lawless mess it's in now.
Presently, the Sneasel is more keen to talk to the little Cubone: "What're you doing in the library?"
no subject
"...We tried suggesting the Dewey Decimal system, but apparently everyone here goes off 'auras' or...something. We're too outnumbered to really do anything, least of all when the leader of the Archives likes the current set up as well."
At least they're not barred from the public or anything. "Huh?" Emporio blinks, craning his neck up a bit more. "Oh. I come here a lot- well. Especially now with all the snow out there...I can't really play outside like this, not easily anyway. We were also going to get ready for a hotpot that Firoza is hosting though!" he adds, beaming. "...Not all foods from our world exist here, and there's a lot of weird translation overlap, so I wanted to see what records we could find of good foods to bring!"
