[Open] May Catch-All

Who: Lyney and YOU!
Status: Open
Where: All over
What: May Catch-All
Warnings: N/A; will update if needed

Street Magic
[While he doesn’t have the grand reputation here that he does back in the Court of Fontaine, Lyney does make his showmanship known where he can by performing some magic where he can. Whether it be on a bustling street corner on Eltrut or on the small stage in the Seventh Heaven bar, Lyney can occasionally be found performing a magic show to a small crowd of eager audience members. He’s quite good at what he does, his sleight-of-hand as impeccable as ever as he performs card tricks, vanishing acts, and making both candy and small animals appear out of nowhere. It’s after one of these tricks that he bows to the round of applause.]

Thank you, thank you! Now, for my next trick, I’ll need a volunteer… ah! How about you? Would you be interested in performing some magic alongside me?

Maid Day Mayday
[As a flamboyant and flirty peacock of a man, Lyney has no shame in taking part in the maid festivities. He dons one of the more exuberant maid outfits like it’s one of his stage costumes, and flits around one of the taverns with a pep in his step and a honeyed smile on his lips.]

Bonjour, mon ami~ Are you having a nice evening? Why not treat yourself to some food and a nice cup of wine?

[Though he’s quite flirty to those he sweet-talks with, he always keeps his interactions tame, and won’t let the patrons get too grabby; he’s a taken man, after all. However, if he sees another one of the workers being bothered by one of the more lecherous patrons, Lyney is quick to swoop in, casually inserting himself in the conversation and keeping a honeyed smile on his lips while his words are razor-sharp.]

Now now, mon ami, is that how you treat a delicate flower? You should know the rule of look, but don’t touch, shouldn’t you?

Corsairs of Victory: Nikki
[Holding a gun is quite different from holding a bow and arrow, but once Lyney gets the hang of things, he can’t help but show off a bit. While not really able to help much in terms of how to keep a gun clean, he’s happy to show off a different skill; trick shots.]

Now remember, not everyone can perform these types of shots their first try! You must have very careful accuracy and a lot of practice to do so. But if you work hard and practice every day, why, you could do this..!

[He’s lucky that his marksman’s aim carries over from bows to pistols, as he’s able to fire several difficult shots in a row. After a moment he turns to the crowd, a grin on his face.]

Now, who’d like to give it a try?

Cat Kneads
[A catfolk who’s stealing herbs and spices? A peculiar bounty, but one that piques Lyney’s interest. So after gathering information on the infamous “little bastard” in question, Lyney will do some staking out of his own before settling outside of a nearby bakery.]

If the information we’ve gotten is accurate, and if my predictions are right, he should be aiming to hit this bakery tonight…

[Which is where he’ll stake out until the late evening, keeping an eye out for the little cat. All the while, he hums as he idly shuffles and flicks his cards while they wait.]

I wonder why it is that our little friend here is targeting herbs and spices. It’s not exactly gold and jewels, after all…

Wildcard
[Got an idea for a prompt? Feel free to write your own starter, or send me a DM so we can plan something out!]
