Noctier & co (Patreon)

There’s a pond on the property that Noctier inherited and after attempting to catch some fish (and failing) he did manage to catch something else — the attention of a local who lives in said fresh water. Nessie is a friendly, relaxed sort who enjoys the quiet and simple things in life. He often visits the local warf to chat up the fishermen, before inevitably chickening out and retreating to his rivers and lakes. Noctier, however, is like him, another strange folk who would probably understand what he is and that, all in all, he’s a pretty chill lad to get to know. If you give him a chance. For Noctier’ s part, after he got over the initial shock and resisted slicing up the would-be monster with scythe, was pleasantly surprised to find a friend in the aqua lad. Perhaps not all those who lurked in the shadows were bad after all.

The relationship with his other roommate is less chummy. After waking up several nights to find cupboards opened, dishes out of place, chairs moved to odd places, and the cat being spooked on the regular, Noctier decided to the confront the tell tale signs of a haunting. He stayed up way past his bed time (around 8am) and managed to lure his spectral friend into action. He placed a dirty dish on the counter, only to witness it being moved to the sink and promptly cleaned, at which point he threw down a circle of salt about the sink to stop the ghost from leaving. Suspicions were confirmed, when a girl named Absinthe made herself corporeal—-ad immediately demanded he clean up that salty mess. Apparently his terrible habits were driving her insane and she really just wanted the place to look how it once did, when she was alive. Clean, that is. Noctier, apologetic, agreed to try harder, he didn’t want to desecrate any resting places. The two have formed an uneasy bond but Noctier has come to learn that now that she has been disturbed from her rest, she rather enjoys the work on the farm — especially looking after the chickens and cows. She even gets on with the cat now.
