[OPEN] girl help the trader is making him be Emotional

[succiduous]

Who: Gnosis & You!
What: Help a local bird with a Quest (2 open prompts / 1 semi-closed)
When: End of September
Where: ~Around~
Warnings: if anything comes up i'll edit!

[Gnosis has... a quest. He has it written down in his notebook, which he'll regularly consult throughout this as he seeks people out... sigh. He supposes it could be worse, but also, why would he want to talk to people? About his emotions? Gross. Ew. Get those away from him.

...

So anyway, this is going to suck.]

I. A Place You Love [OPEN]

[Gnosis figures he'll go in order of the quest items given, so first up: he's approaching with a wave of his notebook, a signal that means "hey I have something important to tell you" except the important thing is actually—]

The trader gave me a to-do list. Do you particularly mind speaking with me at length about... [he huffs, looking somewhat tired,] ...well, nothing substantial, but my laboratory back home?

[His eyes say: "Hey there's a reason for this. I don't want to do this either."]

II. A Thing You Love [OPEN]

["Things" are a lot easier to talk about than "places" for Gnosis, luckily, so this second task should be relatively easy. The next person he flags down, he does the same as the first, waving his journal around in a hey-I-need-something way. What differs from the first person he spoke to is that this time, he's holding a blade made of ice. And, after a break to explain what's going on:]

Have you heard of never-melting ice before?

[hey nerd time to talk about science]

III. A Person You Love [CLOSED for Mizuki and/or Caoimhe]

[The third thing on his list is the hardest, and it actually takes Gnosis a couple days to get to. To be frank, he's not an emotional person (outwardly) and prefers to keep everything locked down for personal reasons, so this... is difficult. Gnosis doesn't know how to begin talking about someone he cares about to someone else. It would be easier to talk about Monch, but he wouldn't say he loves Monch, just appreciated her company while he had it. He's pretty sure, from the look Ydalir gave him, that he has to very literally talk about someone he loves.

Which...

Goddess Kjeragandr, why.

So. Gnosis will drag himself out of his room now, to go seek out the people he trusts the most out of others here. The people that are easier to talk to, for one reason or another.]

Could I borrow you for a moment?

[He's not going to open with what he needs to do this time. He's still working up the will to be less closed-off to others.]

[[OOC: hii i need 3 people for qwuest, this is the one time i have to say "please don't double up on prompts" bc it has to be 3 diff people. thank u for ur time ily]]

You must have some sort of sway with her.

[Yeah it's because he's a Little Guy, obviously, and has no secrets ever.]

...I'll accept the additional help. I could ask Enciodes to pull some strings for me, but he's the one who landed me this position in the first place. I wouldn't risk my role being compromised, though I suppose I've worked with the company long enough.

[Just thinking out loud.]

[ Definitely just a little guy. Just like how Amiya is just a little gal and there's nothing wrong with her. ]

Doctor Kal'tsit is just a very nice person, Mister Gnosis... [ Even if Mizuki weren't Chock Full Of Secrets(tm), he's entirely convinced Kal'tsit would treat him the same she does currently. Maybe this is naïve of him, but he holds her in such high regards. That's his mom! One of his many, many moms. ] I'm sure she'd be amenable regardless, especially since of the people who work in the labs, you're one of the more focused and... not disruptive? [ A kind way of saying 'doesn't accrue insane amounts of replacement money in property damage'. ]

Anyway, it would be my pleasure. Like you said, this is your most favorite place, right? I'd want you to feel like it's even more special and comfortable. A sanctuary, of sorts.
