isleofavalon | [Open] In the Summer Time

🧙 WHO: Zidane Tribal and You!
⚔️️ WHAT: A summer of fun with quests and zombies...! Wait...
🕒 WHEN: July
🗺️ WHERE: Throughout Camelot and Beyond
⚠️ WARNINGS: Warnings will come as needed. Minor violence with Zombies and Minotaurs

I. Surf New Turf

[Though the Alpacapies and Mossatees would probably be easier mounts to ride with, Zidane had mistaken one for a floating log and didn't realize it was a mount until he was far away, and the Mossatees just recently had their babies. If they needed their attention anywhere, it wasn't on a guy standing on their back and probably annoying the hell outta them despite their passivity.]

[Deinosuchus it was, and they weren't kidding when they said it was fast! He was off the first time it picked up speed, and giving it some food when it came paddling lazily back, burnt out from doing that much. They'd work on it - in fact, they could be seen working on it.]

... and if you signal, I can give ya a boost in speed instead. That way, ya don't tire out as fast. Sound good?

[Of course, he's not an Animal Mage so it's not sure how much the Deinosuchus might understand. At least it's not pissed off?]

II. Clean Up Chaos

Hey, hey, hey...!

[He's not sure what's going on, but he was ambushed. First the sponges, then the animals... Zidane blinks when both were done and it took another second to process his clothes had been cleaned, his hair had been redone, and his tail now had a bow on it.]

... OH MY GODS! I thought that stain would never come out of my sheath!

[Looked like he didn't care he was just mauled by woodland critters and cleaning supplies, he's too busy admiring how clean his dagger's sheath was. Perhaps another irate or hapless victim might like to point it out.]

III. The Farming Dead

[Oh good, zombies were a thing here too. And what a time to have neither holy or healing magic to put them down. Not that either really matter - zombies went down like any monster still, but it seemed like going for the head was the quickest way to make sure they were down.]

[The only real problem was numbers.]

[Then again, being outnumbered was not something Zidane easily cared about. In fact, he whistled for the next hordes attention.]

That's right! This way, fresh meat, come and get it!

IV. Spotted Dicklivery

Alright, I have the route plotted out. We have one problem though...

[He still clearly remembered the Minotaur issue from a month or so back. He was sure the lowerside of Camelot remembered the Minotaur from a month or so back - in fact, they probably remembered the stench fairly well and he's not envious about it. Dealing with the rocks was enough, but the piss - dear gods...]

[No matter, Zidane pointed out the spot.]

That Minojerk lives somewhere around there. I went to see if he was in after he ran off, but he wasn't there at the time - heck, he might've moved out. Still, he'll probably nearby so we'll have to be careful.

V. Lavaft Behind

[Didn't matter to him how dangerous the Geode Slime might become living magma after it was freed - the issue was it needed help so he was gonna help. Y'know, even though he was warned it might be scared and attack. The burns wouldn't be fun to deal with, but the other option wasn't a choice to him.]

How do you wanna approach this?

[He already had his own ideas, but he always listens to any input from his partner - if they had their own suggestions.]

VI. Wildcard

[OOC: Rather do another prompt not present? Then this is the option for you! Hit me up at

demidemonLove and let's play!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[And this time it'll be Eustace to grab Zidane and help pull him around, just in time to miss another volley of lava. With the two of them out of sight, the slimes should eventually calm, but eesh. At least they can take a moment to catch their breath.]

Did you get hit?

Woah!

[Okay, okay, he's here. He looks at Eustace and blinks, but snaps his head to the lava going by. Yeah, that was cutting it close. Checking himself over, he can give Eustace a thumbs up.]

Nope, I'm good. What about you?

Same.

[He then peers around the corner before ducking back before they spotted him.]

...I had hoped we'd be able to do this without agitating them, but it was probably inevitable.

[Crossing his arm, Zidane sighs.]

Yeah... we got pretty close though. Oh well, mission accomplished! Good job, Eustace!

[Things worked out so that's good enough for him.]

[He's a little conflicted on calling this a "good job" given his poor performance at the end, but it is true they accomplished the mission, regardless how messy it got.]

...Let's head on out.

[No real point in staying. At least some of the fire storm has started to lessen.]

[He knows that look... and that pause by now.]

Yeah! And we'll practice a little more so the next quest goes according to plan!

"We"?

Yup! What, you think this is the only quest we'll do together? Besides, if you wanna practice more magic with someone besides Eria, I'll do it with you.

[Eustace looks at him with a somewhat heavy gaze before he briefly closes his eyes and sighs.]

Can't be helped.

[Zidane would bug him anyway so he might as well just make it easier on himself and accept it.]
