[OPEN] Have You Seen My Vex? And Other Beary Exciting Adventures in Wyverland
Who: Trinket the Bear, with (optional) appearance by Vex'ahlia (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
moneytwin) & YOU!
What: Trinket's Day Out
When: Mid-Late January
Where: Around Wyver
Warning(s): Bears. Silliness. Will be updated as required. Action and prose tags welcome.
The Great Escape
If you happen to be passing through the rougher end of Wyver's residential district, one might notice an older building of no small size presently under much needed renovation. It might have been an old inn or tavern once, it's not entirely clear, but what is clear is that it is now under new management. Or at least, has new tenants, given how much cleaner and (slightly) less run down it looks compared to its neighbours.
Well, you could notice all of that. But what you probably notice first is a very large furred figure half-struggling its way out of one of the larger side windows. There's some huffing and puffing, the scrabbling of claws on bark and stone follow as its wedged form wiggles its way free. Eventually, with a loud THUMP and the clank of the strange scale-style plates down its back, the big brown armored bear falls out of the window.
Then sits up and blinks sleepily in all directions.
It totally meant to do that. Totally. Honest!
Honey Heist
There is no honey on El Nysa.
Well, not honey as Trinket knows it at least. But there is a scent that is brighter, more sweet, and all too irresistible, and he must find the source.
He also learned to be stealthy from his mother! This is not as stealthy as he assumed it is, however, and one may encounter the snuffling muzzle along a narrow street, or a very large bear butt heading down an alleyway. And getting stuck. Very stuck. (His armor is very handy but not in this situation.)
In the event that he DOES locate the source, he may be spotted lurking nearby, plotting the next stage of his plan to obtain something tasty. But...Well.
He might be smarter than the average bear, but that's not by much.
But Mooooooom...!
He's not forever alone in Wyver. At some point, he finds the person he was looking for, and proceeds to plaster himself as close to Vex'ahlia as possible, or at least to the best of his ability while she roams the city. In a city of dragons, a pet bear doesn't seem to phase too many people, though one that walks without a leash or muzzle of some kind is certainly remarkable.
He can't fit into every space, however, and is forced to sit and wait outside while Vex does what she does best (haggle). So it is that he is parked on his belly, whining sulkily under his breath with paws splayed out around him. He's got good enough manners that he isn't blocking the doorway, but he may still be in your way nonetheless. Good luck getting him to move!

Mom!!
Unfortunately, what she herself has found is a bear. A very large bear in a very narrow alleyway, sitting outside a shop window. And You, box in hand, freezes.] Uh... uh...
G-good bear? Stay right there, it's... it's fine! [You, at least, does not often hang out with bears.]
no subject
There's a huffed rrrrr? in You's direction as he tries to get a better look at her, but he is at least staying put. Which doesn't really help with the being in the way thing he's got going on, but she did tell him to stay right there. ]
no subject
And honestly, she's not familiar enough with these back alleys to know an alternative route to where she's been told she can place the box.] Uh... oh jeez, what do I do...
Y-you're a good bear, right? A gentle bear? You gotta be, right! [She says, hoping fervently.]
no subject
He knows the answer to that one. Trinket is!
Rocking a little, he gives a happy sounding rumble, evidently understanding her words (or at least some of them), before stretching his neck forward and snuffling towards her curiously. She doesn't smell like a human he knows, he doesn't think, but it's only polite to give a better hello. ]
no subject
You takes a hesitant step towards the bear, holding a hand out with perhaps the most trepidation humanly possible, as if she's expecting to have to yank it back and bolt in an instant. But this bear is sounding... not displeased by her presence. The opposite of that.] See? I-I'm not here to hurt you or anything, I'm-- I'm just passing through.
I'm a friend, promise!
[She hopes this works.]
no subject
He watches as she sets down the box, and his head lowers a bit, nostrils flaring as he snuffles at it. It lacks the scent of anything tasty, to his disappointment, and he makes grumbly noises at her as he raises his head again. And blinks, as she extends a hand upwards.
Then, up goes his paw. Wave? Wave! He can do that. ]
no subject
[She suddenly has a lot more sympathy for Riko and trying to teach her not to be afraid of Shiitake. Although, this bear is like three times Shiitake's size, and the dog wasn't wearing body armor.
Slowly, her hands out and open, You creeps forward.] You... y-you all alone here? You're not lost, right?

Honey heist
There's just the one problem. He's a massive man in weird looking armor. Scarry!!
And slowing because he hears that shuffling.]
I know you're back there. Show yourself!!
no subject
It isn't honey, but maybe he can be convincing in getting this person to part ways with some of these treats.
So it is that he's shuffling and sneaking with all the rogue stealth he can muster (thanks Uncle Vax). But, evidently, it isn't enough because--
OH NO! Spotted!
Trinket freezes, a huffly snort escaping him as he halts with one paw mid-air. Armor people can only see movement, right? Maybe if he stays very very still.. ]
no subject
Watches for a while and then laughs. It's been a while since he's played with such a cute animal. So he's going to pretend he didn't see. Loudly, even for Reinhardt, he announces,]
Well, it must just be my imagination. There is nothing here!
[ Then he's start off again, pretending that he'd never seen a thing. He wonders what the bear will do. ]
no subject
..And then the man speaks, clearing indicating he never saw Trinket.
YES.
HE'S SO GOOD AT STEALTHING.
But he's learned from UncleVax and from His Vex not to move too quickly in this sort of case. Waiting for Reinhardt to continue along until he's a good bit further down the road, Trinket slinks low and presses to the wall, and begins the careful creep after. This human will surely lead him to the source of sweet smelling treats.. ]
no subject
He's also going to "accidentally" drop a sugar cube on the ground as he goes. Just WHOOPS. Right out of his pocket. His horse won't notice one or two less treats.]
honey heist
Terra now has.
Stopped a few short steps into the alley (no way he's going to try jumping a bear), huffing for breath, Terra watches over the bear's back as the thief makes his escape.
He heaves a sigh and slumps over, his hands falling to his hips.]
You're kind of in the way, you know.
no subject
Trinket had underestimated how well he could fit between the walls along this alley, and perhaps he might have managed it if he hadn't been in armor. But here he is, wedged quite solidly, and then SUDDENLY a human comes flying around the corner, takes a leap and sails over his head, leaving an astonished bear craning his neck in best efforts to see over his armor.
The second figure comes to a halt before him, and an ear swivels towards Terra when he speaks between pants, and the look on Trinket's face is positively sheepish.
I didn't mean to be, is the general gist of the rumbling he gives in reply. ]
no subject
Looking at that face, Terra feels his frustration ebb away. He just can't be mad at this poor, random, armored alley bear.
Once he's mostly caught his breath, he straightens up and considers the bear's predicament. Well, it probably falls under his new duties as a Knightryder to help the local bears, too, right? Since they're used as trusty land mounts in Wyver and all... And this one clearly belongs to someone, with its fancy bear armor, so-]
I take it you're stuck, huh?
[He'll have to track down that thief later. Right now, a good ursine citizen of Wyver maybe kind of sort of needs his assistance.]
no subject
Trinket at least recognises he is stuck, and getting out of this by himself will be trouble. (Couldn't he at least have succeeded enough to get some honey? Apparently not..) So he just makes his eyes as big and dark and dewy as possible, and makes the saddest moan.
Help please? ]
no subject
Unfortunately, he or she seems to be yet another animal Terra can't understand. Directly, anyway. Bear's getting their point across pretty well with those big, watery bear eyes and sad, stuck bear noises.
No way he can leave this bear behind now.]
Okay, let's see what we can do about that...
[He moves closer and, after hesitating a second just outside bear biting and mauling range, gets right up into Bear's space.]
Looks like it's mostly your armor that's the problem.
[He decides after a moment of peering intently at bear sides, bear armor, and bear-trapping walls. He pats one of the armor plates lightly.]
Can you dismiss it, maybe?
no subject
Terra's wariness is shared by Trinket, and he does snuffle at the stranger even as he accepts the approach; no snapping, no growling, but certainly alert. However, there's a familiar if faint scent on the young man, and the little ears atop his head swivel atop his helmet.
Keyleth! He knows that smell! Or at least her sort of earth-nature magic scent. Has this guy been near her garden? Trinket got kicked out when he tried to help with the digging. :(
He doesn't understand what Terra means by 'dismiss', but does start shaking a bit back and forth. He's not so wedged in that movement isn't possible, but the plates stay put and evidently not going anywhere. ]
no subject
Poor Bear not getting to try his paw at gardening, though. Downright unfair.
Terra scoots back as Bear shakes a little, not wanting to get smashed into the wall if hundreds of pounds of bear partially covered in metal gets free and rushes forward.
But nope, Bear is still good and stuck after that.]
I guess that's a 'no'. [Ponder ponder.] Must be some other way to get the armor off, then. Buckles or ties.
[Here he comes again, this time to have a look around the armor.]

Great Escape
Unfortunately, he's been stopped by this unusual sight, a bear in armor. William should be a little more perturbed at the bear even existing in front of him because of survival instinct but it also seems too... ridiculous to be a threat. Ideally he would just turn around and pretend he hadn't seen this weirdness, but at the same time, he can't help but address it.
"...is there something you are after? You seem rather discombobulated."
no subject
Trinket is not one of these people. Trinket just wants to be where ever Vex is.
His head comes up and he does sit back on his haunches when he's addressed by the human(?), and there's a puff of breath in William's direction as his left paw reaches up to scratch at his chest, mindful not to tear at the armor straps for his armor. He doesn't know what that last word means (it sounds like a word Tiberius or PercyDear might use) so he simply makes querying noises.
no subject
"Ah, I meant to say that you seemed a little lost. I'm not too familiar with the area, but if you wanted some help I would be glad to oblige. Two heads are better than one." Even if one of them was bear. And well, some small, childish part of him is fascinated as well.
no subject
But the prospect of exploring has some appeal, even if it's something he'd be doing on his own terms. But no one would question an exploring bear if he has a two-legger about to distract them! At least until he finds his own.
So, there's a large yawn, showing off impressive teeth, before Trinket rises to all four pauses and starts trundling off down the street. Then pauses to look back. Coming?
no subject
Honestly, this is probably for the best anyways. He's not incapable of handling himself, but he knows that he looks like an easy mark all the same. A giant bear is probably something of a deterrent.
"Still, they bring even bears here, huh? You must have something very special going for you." It's probably a bit strange to be talking to the bear even now, but there's no reason not to treat it like a person. Even if it means William's the one who is going to fill the silence. Or as silent as it can be in a city like this.
no subject
The human doesn't seem to have a destination in mind, however, and Trinket has been a Good Bear and stayed home while told, but he needs to learn the lay of the land here so he can take care of his Vex. Bears here are known to serve as mounts, but they're definitely a cousin breed of bear. Leashes, reins, chains..None of these things are on Trinket, as they would be on those creatures.
There's a happy rumble when he's addressed. Vex thinks he's very special, and now she can call him where ever she is! He doesn't know how it works, but if it makes Vex happy.. He does stop abruptly at a crossroads, and he looks left, right, then to William. Which way, do you think?
