Dear Fellow Traveler, Under The Moon [OTA]
Who: Dedue Molinaro
What: Catchall
When: Late August and Early September
Where: Town Square and Shops
Warning(s): Talk of past experiences of genocide and war will likely come up, also there is one closed nsfw thread
1. And I’ll Return To My Beautiful City (OTA)
Claude’s multicultural feast meant a lot to Dedue, and when the night ended, his heart ached. He wanted more time spent sharing food and cultures, and he could see how important those connections were, not just for him but for others. How many of Pumpkin Hollow’s residents are the only representative of their culture? Dedue knows very well how such isolation can sting.
Up until now, Dedue has felt adrift and aimless. But now the wheels in his head start turning, and he knows what he has to do.
He starts by spreading awareness. Dedue sets up a table in town square with a sign asking passersby to tell a story about their favorite food. When someone stops by, he will explain (albeit in a stilted scripted manner while not making eye contact) that he is gaging interest in a cultural center that is devoted to accurate preservation and sharing of the diverse cultures represented in Pumpkin Hollow.
2. Black Skies Fade Into Blue (Open to Artisans and Entrepreneurs)
The problem with Dedue’s new goal is that it requires funds, and Dedue has hardly anything at the moment. However, he possesses versatile skills that make him easily adaptable to several trades. Unfortunately, networking is NOT one of these skills.
Regardless, he forces himself to put himself out there. He enters several shops and looks around for several minutes while working up the nerve to stiffly mumble a question about job openings in a barely audible baritone.
In particular, he can be seen at:
a. Infernal Arms & Armor: The smell of the blacksmith shop brings back a strong pang of nostalgia for his father’s shop back in the capital. In another life, this would have been the legacy handed down to Dedue and his sister. Dedue thinks perhaps it would be fitting for him to end up back here. He examines the practicality of the armor and tests the weight of some of the weapons in his hands. He is drawn in particular to axes and gauntlets.
b. Whitlock Needleworks: Dedue’s embroidery projects from the Serena all disappeared when he came to Pumpkin Hollow. He definitely wants to see what he can spend his own brass on, even if no work comes of this place. He puts different colored threads together to experiment with pallets. Jewel tones - turquoise, emeralds, burgundy, purples, gold and silver. He mumbles comments to himself about which plants might look best with which color.
c. Mipha’s Grace Seafood Stall: Dedue steps by the stall and examines the different wildlife available - comparing it to the fish he remembers from Duscur and Fodlan. There are certainly some he has never seen before, and he wonders how best to prepare them. He takes out a small notebook where he jots down cooking ideas.
d. Wherever You Work: Dedue’s not picky. Being the primary retainer to a prince with chronic mental illness and physical disabilities means Dedue has done all kinds of work and is willing to do whatever is open. Feel free to chat him up.
3. And Though My Love Is So Wise And So Pretty (NSFW, Closed to Dimitri)
Dedue doesn’t really have any experience with massages. He has typically denied his own self-care with excuses about being too busy with work. However, Dimitri has been talking eagerly about the massages he saw offered at Magne’s new business, and - well - Dedue might as well try something new. He stops Dimitri mid-sentence to ask, “You seem interested in this. Did you wish to give or receive…?” Then clarifies awkwardly, “A massage, I mean.”
4. Some Nights I’ll Still Dream Of You (Open to Former Serena Passengers, and Wildcard
To anyone Dedue recognizes from the Serena Eterna, he will give a quiet nod of recognition and allow them to choose whether or not to approach him. He still hasn’t reconnected with many of the people he knew.
To anyone Dedue has not yet met, he will allow them to approach him but may come off as quiet and guarded. For those associated with TMA/TMP lore, Dedue has a strong scent of Lonely and Slaughter to him.
