Casper | OTA

[Camp]

Casper came out of that fight relatively uninjured, thankfully. Nothing that a little food and taking it easy can't handle. That said, he doesn't take it easy for long - he bustles around helping people pack things up, volunteering to carry heavy things for people... it's a relatively different persona than the fierce combatant some might have seen him as on the battlefield.

He's around lending a hand to pretty much anyone for anything, whether it's healing small injuries or hauling giant piles of tents.


[City]

Casper quickly finds that his 'purifying water' trick only goes so far. Specifically it only goes about a cubic foot far, and while that's a lot of water it's not enough to sustain crops. People come up to him on occasion and have him purify some containers full of water, which is easy enough to do. At least they can have drinking water.

The more pressing task is dealing with clearing out ruins and helping rebuild. Casper is actually very handy, helping with everything from hammering boards into place to helping the local blacksmith start to forge simple tools and nails. Even if he's covered in dust and dirt, he seems happy and willing to lend a hand.


[Music]

No one's going to be in here right after a mission, are they? Casper's gotten himself cleaned up, and once that's done he heads into the music room. He downloads some music onto his SCA - super handy, that - and heads up to the upstairs performance space. He doesn't stand on the stage so much as sit on it, letting his SCA play a few songs and singing along to them.

He's actually really good, and even though he can't always match he seems to be enjoying himself. As he sings, colored lights float around him, weaving into lines like neon signs, shaping into various things - animals, people, spinning globes, buildings... it's almost like a laser light show without the lasers.


[Spa] [CW: missing limb]

He waits until late at night to try out the spa. Ichigo had told him to do it, but he still feels self-conscious. When he's sure no one else is in the car he changes into a pair of swim trunks and sits by the edge of the pool, hands on the ivory-colored metal of his prosthetic leg. Slowly he unstraps it, eventually getting his leg stump out. He shoves the leg into hammerspace and slips into the pool.

It's... weird, feeling the warm water on the end of his stump. He keeps his prosthetic on almost continuously, so it's sometimes weird to feel things without it. And hopefully if anyone does come into the spa, they won't notice his lack of half a leg.
