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?"

Its okay! I got hit real hard w burnout anyways lol
Anyways. Anasui provides him with answers. "You celebrate this holiday?" He hadn't assumed Anasui was much the type, since they both seemed to be on the same page when it came to superfluous activities. Although maybe he was only doing it on request. There had been a posting for doing so after all...
He's quickly distracted by the second point, "What a coincidence. I've been planning to do the same. It only seems practical to compare experiences in a large group. I'm not hopeful it will provide answers," He felt like if there were any to be found, someone would've gotten excited about it and spread the word by now. "But it'll be useful to have a more complete picture of what information we do have."
(hugs) burnout is real. take it easy!
"Mm... Plus, I don't trust just the guild leaders having the compiled information. We should be able to have easy access to it." Anasui tilts his head. "Got anything interesting to share? I was going to talk about the Forest's Heart because there's been no follow-up on that."
Thank you <3 <3
Its... strange to hear Anasui speak like that. Suddenly he's hit with how little he actually knows about him, despite their odd encounters. It shouldn't be that surprising. Flamebringer is reticent on the best and worst of days. But, where he would normally find himself turning away, he decides to listen.
"Do you normally have others you celebrate it with?" It might be a sore topic, but he's a little numb to ignoring sore topics when his whole planet is made up of them.
He snickers, "I can agree with that sentiment." For all the Guild leaders' efforts, and their efforts were admirable, there where moments where things seemed... disorganized. "Even more so given we're the field agents. A small factoid to them could be life and death to one of us."
Well, that was already something he hadn't heard anything about. This was going to be an interesting exchange. "Mostly minor incidents and observations. Nothing incredible just, small discordant notes." He wishes he had more, "The most odd was probably about a month ago. Seemed to be a compulsive thought I had along with Bigby when we rescued a lost Pokemon." Something which was still troubling him.
He didn't like how many of the situations he'd experienced included psychic related manipulations.
no subject
"Yeah, usually people do. For the last four years, it's been me, Emporio and another prison mate we called Weather Report. This is my first Christmas in a while celebrating it as a free man," Anasui says casually, not at all bothered by the question.
The bird nods in agreement. Before the bay, for Anasui, noticing small details were crucial for staying alive. Often, it would let them figure out what a Stand did, and thereby let them come up with some tactic to counter it. In Anasui's opinion, an information exchange was long overdue.
"Compulsive thought?" Anasui asks, tilting his head. "What was it? Maybe you guys weren't the only ones."
