Better things to do than studying~! (open)
WHO: Toki, anyone
WHAT: Money, plants, and snowboarding
WHEN: 2nd-3rd weeks of March, before finals.
WHERE: Various
NOTES: Open prompts, one mingle, no warnings yet.
◉ QUAD - open
[Even though Daybreak covers all essentials, there are some things the students need to buy for themselves. So today, Toki has set up a table in the quad in order to provide funding for things that meet his approval. A sign set up on the table reads "Wishes Granted". Underneath are the official terms of his offer set forth.
1000 Euros Can Be Yours
★·.·´¯`·.·★ LIMITED SLOTS ★·.·´¯`·.·★
Transactions at Sole Discretion of the Financier
The first 10 students who successfully prove their financial need and clear intentions of what they will do with the money will receive gifts of 1000€. He doesn't need this money, and since he considers himself fairly useless in most aspects of life right now, he wants to help somebody in any way possible.]
◎ ROOT OF YGGDRASIL - open
[Toki has been growing something down in the Root of Yggdrasil greenhouse. He's trying to keep it a secret, for... reasons. He doesn't think it's illegal, but it might be. He's started with a small crop, because all species of the plant are invasive and he didn't want it taking over the entire greenhouse in some unforeseen mishap with experimentation; a strain modified for accelerated growth and larger leaves. Now, it's time to harvest the yield. He's heading down there with a backpack to fill.]
◉ ARCTIC SLOPES - open, mingle style
[With so many other students providing tutoring sessions and worrying about finals, somebody has to suggest an alternative to academic drudgery. Toki plans to take full advantage of the hostel at the ski lodge. He's given short notice and doesn't know who, if anyone, will show up at the helipad. But as soon as the other five seats on the helicopter are filled, they're going to the Alps!]

I think...it's fucking great you want to help? And if helping makes you happy, fucking aces. But all I'm seeing happening right now, with you trying to help this way, is you being under a fuckton of stress and making yourself miserable. And if this is how you've been all day, you're probably freaking people out? I mean... So what if you can't help as much as you wish you could? You're a fucked up kid. No one's fucking expecting you to change shit on your own... How you are? You'd die.
no subject
I'm not any more stressed than usual! At all! Well, maybe a little, maybe, but only because you're making a big deal out of this and I don't know why and you won't tell me what's wrong with it! I'm not trying to change things on my own because I know how fucked up I am and so does everyone else; that's the point! That's what I'm talking about! I'm just- I'm just trying... just... Am I not explaining this right? Okay, let's try bullet points here, because I'm losing you somehow. Number one: I'm a liability for like everything and I know that, so yes, I'd probably die trying? Number two: I have over two million Euros that I will never spend in my entire life, which is like only two years anyway, because of Nightfall- off track! Okay, back to number two: two million, won't spent it. Number three: other people who are useful and not fucked up can potentially use funding for good ideas in maybe helping to prevent Nightfall or some other thing that's beneficial that they can't currently work on because they don't have money! Did any of that make sense!?
[He's wondering if he's even speaking decent French at this point, or if he's actually as stupid as people tell him he is.]
no subject
Holy shit, why the fuck do you have two million euros?!
no subject
Because my sister died and left everything to me and she had a good life insurance policy! How much money I have is not the point!
no subject
Uh, shit, sorry.
[Let's just...go back to the rest of it...]
I guess it just kinda...seemed to me like you're thinking a whole fucking lot more about this than anyone should? There's plenty of shit out there you can donate to, or you can even just donate to the school. There's like a zillion projects they're doing all the time. And there's kids like me, who couldn't fucking go here if it wasn't funded by all these rich families and shit? Not that I'm a great example of someone out there being fucking helpful... I mean, what you're doing is fine, you're just really worked the fuck up about it.
no subject
I'm always that worked up; like all the time! This isn't upsetting me! I was just really confused as to what was wrong, but it's fine!? The concept? I guess I could go with charities or give some to the school, and I know that's helping too, but I wanted... Maybe I am thinking about it too much! I wanted it to be more on a personal level? Like helping someone achieve something they wanted that maybe the school can't provide or that a charity won't invest in and I just- really, it's probably selfish, isn't it? To want them to know it's me who's helping!? Maybe I'm making too big a deal out of it with the sign and everything too! I didn't really think it through as much as I should have and I won't do something like this again, I promise~! I'll donate to something~! That's better? I'll keep some of it too; I mean, I've only had that much since December and maybe I don't need it now, but something could come up~!
[He's not going to offer money to anyone for anything again. There's too much confusion and attempt at explanations.]
no subject
[Just...let him get that out of the way before he goes back and tries to pick apart what he all said.]
If you're gonna keep doing it this way, don't tell people it's because you're fucking useless, got it? You always sound high strung, but throwing in shit like that makes you sound like you're on the edge of a fucking breakdown.
[He's still concerned...but it was true that this wasn't the first time Maverick had felt anxious just by being around Toki and his energy.]
And hey, if I ever need a sugar daddy, I'll hit you up first, deal?
no subject
[He's making light of it, because he is on the edge of a breakdown; that's his baseline, and it's apparently more obvious than he thought.]
And I was being honest here~! It's just a fact! I could have gone with like uh, incompetent or worthless or stupid or inept or dysfunctional, are any of those better!?
[As for Maverick's last comment...]
No, it's not a deal! I wouldn't accept those sorts of "favors" in exchange for money! You are my type, but having a financial component to a relationship like that is a very bad idea~!
no subject
No, that's still fucking terrible. Just say you want to help, and fucking stop there.
[Yeesh. How is it the he OH OKAY ALRIGHT THEN??? Whatever Maverick had been thinking cuts off immediately as a flush creeps in despite his best efforts. What... Why is he his type...and who just says that? Someone give this boy a sense of shame to go along with his self-hatred!!]
I didn't fucking -- I just meant? [????] I'm not gonna fucking sell myself, I'd just pester your dumb ass for money, fuck! You think I'm stupid enough to let someone treat me like that?!
no subject
[Oh, Maverick's blushing. He must have said something embarrassing. It's cute, though.]
No, no, no! I didn't think you'd actually do something like that! [He did.] I mean, in general it's a bad idea~! People do a lot of stupid things for money~!
no subject
[He's...too baffled to argue against anything anymore. Just gonna awkwardly shuffle here and bite the inside of his cheek so he doesn't blurt out something ridiculously stupid. Heck!!!! Why would he ever be someone's type? What about him makes him his type? No, he can't ask that. Dangit. Stupid jerkface.]
no subject
Do you want to help choose people~!? Then there won't be ten minutes of confusion any time someone comes to the table~!
[If anyone does, or even wants his money. This whole thing was not going well.]
no subject
You think I can explain your weird fucking thought process? ...I guess anything's gotta be clearer than you giving it a go. Tell you want, we'll just say I'm your bruiser, so people know if they wanna fuck with you, they gotta deal with me coming to collect on their bad fucking choices.
no subject
That should work better.]
Um, okay! But I don't really think anyone's going to try and take advantage or anything; I mean it's basically free money, so what else would they want!?
no subject
Uh, the free money, but for less good reason.
no subject
You made them sparkle~! That is so cool! What else can you do!? I thought you were like a hunter or something, but you have powers!? What are they!? And yeah, okay, for a less good reason, but that's why I wanted to know the reason! Oh! Because they might be lying... That defeats the purpose of this whole thing!
[It was indeed a stupid idea from the start.]
no subject
Nothing useful -- and if anyone fucking asks, you found a marker like that. I didn't do shit.
[Should he really be placing his trust in Toki... Oh well. It's just for his image and peace of mind, anyway.]
M'here on Candle scholarship even if it ain't a combat Flame. I just needed a place to fucking take me, and this one's fucking nice as shit so of course I'll accept a free ride.
[If it weren't for all the spooky shit, it'd be perfect!]
Yeah, that's what I'm fucking saying. You're lucky I don't make a habit of lying, or I could be one rich fucking bastard right now.
no subject
[That definitely makes this place sound more like a training facility than a school, which it probably is.]
I only came because they'd take me too, or that they wanted me or something, I didn't really pay attention at that point and it doesn't matter because I'm here now anyway~!
[Toki looks at his sign, ridiculous and now sparkly.]
This isn't going to work like I wanted it to~! Being a rich fucking bastard is hard!
[It doesn't come out as jokingly as intended. He doesn't understand why having that much money is so great; he has it because someone died, and money can't stop his brain from short circuiting.]
no subject
[Uh, well, he doesn't actually know if there's a difference or not... He just figures that with a power as useless as his, it didn't really pay to take him in. Heck, he couldn't even get that undead-banishing light thing all Candles had to work, for some reason.
Well. If it makes him feel any better, Maverick laughs at the joke.]
Yeah, no shit. I'm pretty sure life is the fucking hard part, no matter what your circumstances are.
no subject
[He doesn't mean anything by it, just a statement of fact.]
It is hard, and it shouldn't be... or maybe it should. Maybe that's the point. So you appreciate the times when it's not.
no subject
Too fucking deep for me, mousie. I'm just gonna focus on living my life as I go.
no subject
[He may have gone off on a tangent of reasoning for "living life as you go".]
no subject
Exactly. That shit’s why I don’t got an answer for what I’d do with €1000, you know? There’s no point in thinking that far ahead when so much shit could just...go wrong.
no subject
Yes! That's true! Okay, I'm done here! Mission aborted!
[Toki makes a big "X" across both sides of the sign.]
I'll help some other way should the need arise~!
[There's so much less to think about now.]
no subject
...Hey! You know how to pickpocket?
[there was a thought process]
