[open] you're my butterstick

[ Note: Some of these are backdated as these items are supposed to be regained within a month! These are pretty generic prompts, but if you have one you want and you'd like me to write a detailed starter for it, give me a poke at

tsubo, through PM, or through the comments! ]

i. 8/16-8/30: you're half the man i am
[ It can't get any more ironic. The morning after Obon, a box of butter is delivered to Mondo's doorstep. You might...

1) Find it before he does, if you walk by the warehouse nearby the school early in the morning. Did Mondo start a new business? Who knows.

2) Spot Mondo staring at the box of butter. He'll think it's some prank that someone pulled on him. He might visit the Velvet Room to see if the attendants know anything. Or are they behind all of these random items that come out of nowhere?

3) Be invited by him to have some, or for a cooking session. He doesn't even cook that much so he'll probably give it to Terry otherwise, maybe? The hell does he do with 80(???)kg of butter... It says 80kg on the label, but it's light and weighs at most 1kg. However, when they scoop there seems to be endless amount of butter...? ]

ii. 8/16-8/30: we're gonna accelerate till dawn
[ Later that evening, people might notice a large shadow floating on the air, until it finally is dropped just a few centimeters away from where Mondo is... The crows are working hard to deliver it to him, but the fall certainly did some damage to it ー especially since the motorcycle is self-built. He has so many questions, but before that he'll do some reparation work so if you stop by, he can show you how to fix a bike, or if you ever want a ride from him anytime in the month after the 16th, he's game... if he likes you. Then again, he likes a lot of people in Hirajiro, so that's a thing.

He'll also start some delivery services now that he has motorbike!! Hirajiro's first Uber? Maybe... ]

iii. 8/20-8/30: neko neko neko nyaamii nyaamii
[ Mondo is almost scared of waking up every morning because something just suddenly come up without warning, and today is no different. He wakes up to 5 more kitties on top of the one he already has. So now he has to father 6 cats... He doesn't know if he can take care of them all, and Lia the tabby (his first cat) isn't very excited with his attention that are now have to be split among the other five.

He'll walk around the town with them trotting behind him, trying to see if anyone wants to adopt one or two. He'll keep them if no one does... Maybe if anyone wants to help him name them, lol, he's always relying on other people for names... useless. He'll also allow people to play with them as long as they're gentle! You can decide where you see him in town because he'll literally walk around the whole town trying his luck. ]

iv. 8/25-8/30: 8bit tour
[ Subscribe for daily nyan pics...

So Mondo manages to get a secondhand galapagos cellphone that can send photos and text, also do calls but not video calls! Feel free to bother him through phone calls or texts, he's not very tech savvy but he can text. You can also order some delivery through him... lmfao maybe if the attendants want his services... ]

v. anytime in august
[ Apart from working at Hoshino Carpenters, where a middle-aged couple work on carpentering services as well as some wood crafts, Mondo has his own side job of making trinkets and smaller wood crafts which doesn't have to go through the Hoshino's. If you want to commission him for a gift for that special someone, he's here. He'll also hold some impromptu workshops too and is more than happy to teach people how to make things! Despite the large bara fingers, they're quite nimble.

Other than that, he'll be at the dungeons to collect items and $$$. He wants to save up for phone (which he'll have towards the end of the month), so he'll find every ways possible to get all the dollah. He will still be around even after he gets his kaching because nothing wrong with getting more money! If you want to team up with him, he's down. He'll be in every floor except the fourth, he's here for your Fire and Physical attack needs. He's also gotten Tetrakarn so he can reflect physical damages, if that's a thing that you need! ]

We'll have to get them some other toys so they leave people's shoes alone, huh?

[ Kido crouches down and makes sure her laces are tight— they're a little soggy, and more frayed now where the fabric had gotten snagged by tiny little claws, but she's not in any danger of losing her shoes. ]

My brother, Seto, had a pet hamster for a while when we were little. He'd had to chase it around the house when it got out of the cage. [ He would cry every time, fearing it'd gotten lost or hurt, and Kido smiles at the memory ] But I never had my own pet.

Yeah. I heard there's somethin' like... cat tower? Looks like a good thing they can play around at. Maybe should get them all beds too. For Lia... maybe some toys. The frog plush that I got her is gettin' all torn up.

[ Once he's sure she has her laces tight, he'll start walking to lead his children to the pet shop. ]

Ah... I bet it's real hard to find it if it got away 'cuz it's so small. [ He'll be afraid of accidentally stepping on it... ] Must've been real cute tho', ain't it?

[ Just imagining them munching on food with their fat cheeks... ah. That somehow makes him think of Rei. ]

I've only ever had dogs before, and they're the fuckin' best... [ His eyes glimmer when he thinks about them. ] ...To be real wit' ya, I didn't think cats are this cute till I came here. They sure know how to charm people.

[ A cat tower would be a good idea, since it'll hold a bunch of cats all at once, but Mondo would probably get a better deal with collecting cardboard boxes to use as beds instead of buying actual beds. Kido might bring it up once they're in the store and sees how much they cost. ]

Yeah, it was really cute. Certain dogs are too, but cats— there's no cat that isn't cute. Everybody here seems to love them too, so it's probably rubbed off on you.

[ See this is why Mondo needs Kido to be his brain. He just spends his money without thinking when it comes to his beloved cattes or motorbike or friends. He needs the Kido Stopper to control his spending... ]

Certain dogs only?

[ He laughs. A few months back he would've forced his opinion down Kido's throat, that DOGS ARE THE BEST!!!!! and he hasn't actually changed his mind, but he's matured up a little not to say it. ]

I can see that fo sho'. Like you.

[ Some dogs are big and scary, okay!! Kido likes small cute fluffy things, and she's biased towards cats because they're all three. ]

Like... what? What part?

[ Say it, Mondo. ]

Like the way your eyebrows relax when you're with 'em.

[ Does Kido not notice this herself? Mondo grins. ]

Or how happy you seem around them.

[ No she doesn't, and she makes a mental note to knit her eyebrows around cats from now on so she doesn't look so happy and sappy, ahh it's embarrassing to be called out like that. ]

Alright, alright! Stop talking!! We're going to the store, right? Pick up the pace! Let's go!

[ That's fine, Kido. He knows your true heart and he'll tease you for the knitted eyebrows next time :)

He snickers, picking up the pace as what she commanded. Mondo doesn't usually tease Kido like this but it's surprisingly fun... He can get behind this. ]

It's kinda refreshing to see you like this. Right, Lia?

[ Lia meows in response of her name being mentioned, and the other five join in meowing because they hear Lia's lead. ]

[ Lia, no!!! Kittens... why are y'all ganging up on her......... Kido will have to disagree when she's the one being teased, but it does come with a sense of familiarity: this is basically how her gang treated each other all the time, poking fun at each other but remaining close despite all of that because they know the others don't have any ill will.

Just for this, when they get to the pet store, Kido is going to pick out five expensive cat beds and fancy toys and make Mondo buy all of them. ]

[ That's actually one of my favourite Kido icons it looks so funny sld;jfs

With them exchanging banters like this, the walk to the pet shop feels like a breeze. Before they know it, they're in front of a display window opposite where small animals are put in their boxes, happily sleeping or eating. Lia and the kittens watch the other animals curiously, successfully getting a rabbit's attention who's now sniffing on the window and try to reach over them... to no avail, obviously. ]

Whoa... They've got more animals now! Look at 'em, Kido!

[ laughs, you can practically hear her internally screaming in that icon ]

Oh...

[ She breathes out, soft, enamored ]

How cute, they have rabbits and hamsters too...

[ Mondo will have to do his own shopping, because Kido's too caught up with looking at the animals, placing a hand on the glass cage and looking absolutely delighted when a rabbit comes up and bops its nose against her finger. ]

[ This is where Mondo wishes he has a phone because he would love to take that look on Kido's face. Danchou's dere face.... ]

They've got more inside, ya know? ...I'll head in first, yeah?

[ Kido might not hear him with her having A Moment with the bunny... either way, he'll head into the the store with Lia and the kittens. Whenever she comes in, she'll find him browsing through the collar area. They have so many kinds, more than he expected... Mondo ends up staring at them one by one, admiring the intricate details and the craft. Uhhh what was he here for again? ]

[ They're here to make hearteyes at the rabbits, obviously. Kido just never comes in at all... she stays outside with her forehead pressed against the window smiling down at the rabbits (': ]

[ After a good while, Mondo finally decides on which collar to get for which kitten, as well as getting Lia a new one. He dumps them on the shopping basket, and continues to walk around the pet shop. The further he goes, the more he finds items that are adorable but not a necessity... hm. Bad. He needs his brain (a.k.a Kido) to be here with him or he'll just dump everything.

And so he does, dumping whatever looks good to him to the basket. Does he even have the money... it's fine, he'll deal with sorting them out later if he doesn't have enough.

Meanwhile, Lia and the Cutie Five just decide to roam around to check out the other animals in the store. One of the kittens, the calico one in particular, is stuck in front of a Corgi puppy box, staring through the window and putting her paw on it. Mondo notices what she's doing and-- ]

.....

[ No, he's not getting another pet. ]

[ Kido's brain is useless around cute animals because she would have him adopt every single one in the shop if he had enough space and money.

Eventually, she notices the cats roaming around inside the store through the window, and picks herself up to head inside too, careful not to let any of the kittens escape out the door when she enters and working on trying to herd them closer towards Mondo so they can all keep together. It's sort of a lost cause. ]

Did you find everything you need? Beds and collars, right? You'll probably need a lot more cat food to feed everybody now that you have more than just Lia.

[ This is why they're bros...

The look in Mondo's face is probably one that Kido has never even seen before - his pupils are huge and his brows are doing the thing like he looks concerned but his cheeks are pink and he looks so excited it's gross. ]

Hah?

[ He lets out a stupid noise when she calls out for him, finally tearing his eyes from the adorable puppy before them, then quickly returns to the usual sharp grouchy face looking at his shopping basket. ]

Yeah! I've got a bunch. [ He sighs, but it sounds more like a content sigh than exasperated one. ] Gotta take up more jobs to feed them all every week, heh. [ He can sort of tell what's gonna happen to his wallet, but then again, he can't abandon them. ] You should look at these, tho', Kido!! Ain't these real cool?!

[ He'll show off the collars he's chosen with care. Like this!! Or this!! Or this!! ]

Not gettin' the beds tho', 'cuz I figured I could just make them myself. That way I can personalise it and shit.

[ It's a lot smaller than human beds anyway, it's gonna be a lot easier. ]

[ They're bros because they're both useless in front of cute animals, that sounds right. They both make gross fond faces at animals and when somebody walks in on them, they pretend not to care lmao

Kido's prepared to act cool and collected once she's inside the store and there's a shopkeeper and other customers around, but all pretenses drop immediately when she sees the collars. ]

Oh...! Look at the little ties...!

[ imagine flowers blooming all around if this were an anime, because wth that's so cute, the cats would look so dapper with little tie collars ]

You know how to make cat beds, Mondo? Look at you, a doting cat dad.

[ At least they can be losers together, they're in this together haha. ]

Right?! Ain't they neat?

[ He grins proudly, face melting into a dumb happy one. There are indeed flowers around them now... have this mental image of Mondo and Kido prancing around in flower field with cats around them, nbd. ]

Heh heh. I've done somethin' like that before, tho' it was a for a bunny. [ He'd be careful and say rabbit instead of bunny, but he's way too far gone at the moment to realise that. ] If ya got cats, I'll make some for them, too!

[ He'll go and pay for all that, and head off towards the exit. ]

Aight you guys, let's get goin'!

[ He then looks at Kido. ]

Oh, right. I haven't named them. Ya wanna name 'em, Kido?

[ Bunnies are cute too... Kido just imagines a little white puffball that can fit in the palms of her hands and she just melts. Cute. ]

Can I really name them?

[ Does Mondo really want Kido naming his cats, though? Because Terry let her name five of his and the ones she came up with were Hana-chan, Aiko, Saki, Kouji, and Ren. Mondo's going to be the one saying all these names out loud in public, not her. ]

[ I'm so weak to that Kido icon omg aaaa

If only Mondo can show Maizono's bunny to Kido... Mimi's an adorable spunky lil' poofball, she'll definitely love her. ]

Yeah, go ahead! I'm real bad with names...

[ It's okay Kido, Mondo's been giving the duty to name all his pets to other people because if it's him it'll be something like Tiffany or Beyonce or something. ]

[ She has cute smiling icons I can only use around pre-death Mondo now...

But okay, yeah, Kido will save the kittens from being named Beyonce. She thinks for a moment and then proposes her names: ]

Ringo, Ichigo, Nashi, Anzu, Mikan.

[ What cuter names can you get than food? ]

Fruits?!

[ Mondo laughs. ]

But that's pretty cute. I like 'em. Ya guys hear that? Danchou's named you guys, so be proud of that!

[ The kitties watch him with ??? around their heads, but they just follow his lead out of the store, while Lia tries her best to go further ahead. She has to be in front, or else!!11

Eventually I'll do proper profiling of them cats... ]

Yer not gettin' any pets, Kido? Since you like animals a lot and all.

[ She would have socked him if he were laughing at her and not just laughing in general, but fruit are cute, okay. .. she was thinking of her friend Momo and that's the only reason there's no Momo.

Anyways, there's the names, but Mondo has to assign them to each cat. ]

Huh? ...No, I don't think I'll get a pet. They're cute and I like them, but then I'll go home, so...

[ She's still of the opinion that she'll go home and die, and it wouldn't be fair to keep a pet in that case. She'd just be building a family and tearing it apart in her selfishness. ]

[ It's ok, a danchou's punch is a gift to them underlings...

And aye aye ma'am, he'll do that! He already has them in mind!!! Mostly. ]

...Heh, that's what I thought too, back in Wonderland. Even here. But both times they suddenly just... came into my life.

[ Ah shit, he totally shot his own foot. Mentioning Wonderland makes him miss Komo quite a lot. :( ]

Funny story, I got a dog out of a fuckin' cupboard back then. Kinda crazy, huh?

"Wonderland"?

[ It totally sounds like a fairy tale name, which makes Mondo's story about the dog even less believable. ]

You broke into somebody's home and stole their dog?

[ What are you doing raiding cupboards, Mondo...? ]
