[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!]

Threaded | Flat

AAAAAAAAAH! GO AWAY ALREADY! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS TO TURN INTO A HORROR MOVIE!

[While Zidane was calling out the zombie hoard, Kotarou was running towards him in an opponent direction with another set chasing after him. He wanted to help with the farms and thought that this would be easy pickings, but it turned out he was completely wrong about that one. This certainly wasn't as easy as horror games made it out to be.

All he had was a light pole armed in his hand and he had a pistol in his pants holster, but he was out of his light bullet ammo. He had to take some time to reload! He actually went through the effort to modify his pistol for magic and wanted to give it a test run.]

Hey, hey! Are you trying to get us killed?! Don't become a target for those zombies!

Minojerk?

[Thankfully, Tifa's lucky enough to have avoided the minotaur issue completely, so the whole thing is lost on her. If it's such a threat, they should be able to take it out no problem, right? Zidane's proved himself capable and reliable in that sense, and she's taken out things twice its size before, so she's not at all worried.

Although now she feels like she should be...]

Think I might've missed the context on that one.

[ Oh does he remember that giant beast. Xiao does not hold onto the memory fondly at all. He also recalls how tough the thing had been to scare off. ]

Do you think that this path was selected deliberately then?

[ Why can't one of them have Light Magic? Then they could simply cloak themselves and move on. ]

[Elza had been already out of Camelot when the zombies began advancing. While she was nowhere near the fray itself, the gunner was in the perfect position to intervene if she chose to. She wouldn't have, as it wasn't her problem, until she heard the soft yell of a familiar voice.

It was enough to draw her attention. Bringing Sturm up, the gunner peered down the barrel of the rifle as she scanned those fighting against the zombie horde.

She sighted that particular kid soon enough, and also the friends he was attracting to his location.

Foolish boy.

She was a solid mile out, but to Elza's aim it was like shooting fish in a barrel at this range.

Taking aim, there was a deep sounding bang that echoed in the area as Sturm fired. The light bullet shot through the air before piercing right through the forehead of a zombie heading in front of Zidane.

Unlike all the other guns within the Guild, Sturm never required reloading, so she focused her sights on the next closest zombie to his location and squeezed the trigger.]

All too easy.

[...Hmmm. Eustace studies the situation in his usual silent manner before finally expressing his thoughts.]

Although not as strong as lightning, I can use some ice magic that should help keep the area cool. Eria can also assist, though she doesn't like this area. [As evident by the snow wolf actually not right with them but instead keeping some distance away from the heat, her normal snow dust trail immediately melting.]

I can also fly down there and get a better scope of the area. But as for keeping it calm... Freezing it is probably not optimal.

[Half joke, half serious.]

... I'm happy for you. [And then, because her irate tone might give the wrong impression:] No, really, I'm glad that they were able to help you. But was the rest of that necessary?

[Because she's also just been assaulted by the cleaning supplies, as can be told by the fact that her hair has been styled into a pair of poofy pom-poms. Which isn't a problem, but in their aggressive cleaning, they knocked her off her feet and left her on the ground on all fours.]

[She pushes herself back to her feet, and starts dusting herself off.] Really, they could have asked before they...

[And then something catches her eye: A dustpan and a pair of brooms, circling back around to help her with that dust on her skirt.]

Oh, quiznak — they're coming back this way!
