[Open] Hunter becomes the prey
🧙 WHO: Zidane and you!
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-all for August
🕒 WHEN: August (until events and stuff)
🗺️ WHERE: Around Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: Culling and fighting, mainly vigilante stuff
Warm out today, but Zidane continued trudging about, working on this bit of fence or tilling this other section of land. For a few, he'd been left to water, but only up until more materials had been brought. Honestly, he was surprised just how much damage the zombies made, but their response to their numbers? Could've been better, but oh well.
"Ready to get back to the fence?" he asked the other worker nearby, not paying much heed to the fact they could currently either occupied by a task or looking for something more to do. If they hadn't been helping with the fence before, this might be slightly confusing.
Ehehe, well, he'd say the season served the local wildlife well - and maybe too well like the task had said, but he wasn't going to be mature about it.
Anyway, cull some of the older animals, spare the ones that just had offspring or raised in a community (then it was open game), and also get the Carcinuses back. That second part might be the bigger challenge really, but maybe using one part to lead to the second, they could make good progress.
He'll think of a few more plans if that fell through.
"How you doing over there?"
His companion on this task could handle themselves, right? No issues with a few woodland critters?
He didn't know what to expect of Camelot's castle, but it was definitely dolled up for company. At least, he doesn't think the public bath normally has a water slide - not that he was really feeling a bath right now. Instead, he decided to stalk away and have a look around further; he could be found briefly having a taste of some new foods, seeing what books would be in this royal library, curiously watching the magician perform as he strolled by, and then heading out to the gardens.
Hm... roses had been one of her mother's favorites.
He could be found there soon too, lying around near the roses and pretty much chilling.
Zidane had an animal tail, big whoop, wanted to fight about it?
Apparently, someone does - someone did, and it was the same someone that was going after others with Animal Magic once he got someone to squawk. Making them spill further details, the barely tech-savvy young man checked the Dark Web and found the posting, and was immediately both unimpressed and actually angered.
It was one thing to basically put a bounty on him, but any Animal Mage, huh? Worse, he'd heard about the murders happening and he didn't know if they were related. Even if they weren't, the knights were likely occupied by them instead.
So, he'll make himself look quite conspicuous donning his cloak and mask from home. Hood drawn, he thought he looked like a suspicious mage type; and with enough of his tail just appearing from beneath, that outta do it. He doesn't really mind how it might look to others - he had to figure out how to track down the guy behind the Dark Web post.
[OOC: Note that this is open for him to aid characters being attacked, for people looking to attack a supposed animal mage, or wondering what the hell he's doing at all. Maybe they'd like to come along, he's open to forming a party.]

[He has to chuckle a little. Okay, Nanaki's got a sense of humor.]
Hm...
[Another name, another name... He tilts his head at her new suggestion.]
That could work... but I also heard someone call a snake that before.
[It'd been some old man, but Red probably wouldn't want to share a nickname with snakes either.] He kind of reminds me of those fire lions I met a while ago, the Foguerias?
no subject
As cool as Sidewinder sounds, she would agree that naming him after a snake wouldn't be the best idea. He is the furthest thing he can be from one, and... well, there are probably better names out there.
Tifa is intrigued by this new development in their naming scheme though, and her eyes light up. Fire lions... Now that she thinks on it, she has no idea what species Red even is.]
I don't think I've met them, but that does sound a little like him. [Especially with that fiery tail he has.] What're they like?
no subject
[She'd been able to get out so she probably hadn't fought one either before the breakout.]
Eustace found me and let me out, but we found these guys while searching the cells. They were brothers with tempers as fiery as their fur, but were totally cool with cooperating if it meant the place got wrecked. Wouldn't mind seeing them again, but I have no idea where they headed off after we went separate ways.
no subject
[Maybe it's a pack mentality sort of thing? Maybe he has an idea of where they are just based on that? She has no idea how it works, but there'd be no harm in asking at the very least.]
But how do you figure that relates to a nickname? You learn what any of theirs are?
no subject
[He doesn't think that's how it works, but if she wanted to ask.]
Nope, they mainly called each other 'Brother'. It was funny because they only called Eustace 'dog', but that made me realize maybe we're thinking about this too hard.
no subject
It probably isn't how it works, but there's no harm in asking. Maybe it'll be a good thing—she does wonder sometimes how Nanaki feels being surrounded by humans all the time, and if he'd be happy with some friends that are more like him, too.]
Hmm... [Tifa kicks back on her hands, sighing whimsically.] So what about something that means 'brother'?
[Are they really thinking about this too hard?]
no subject
[... He should try giving Eustace a nickname.]
[Off that line of thought, he turns his head and nods.]
Yeah, why not? If he's part of your team and you're all like family, it works, right?
no subject
You know, I realized I don't actually know any other words for it, besides brother. Don't know how much he'd appreciate that, though.
[Although... now that she's gotten to know him a little better? He might.]
Guess I'll have to hit the library and do some research.
no subject
[He hums.]
Could do that, or maybe we could just ask him. Maybe he doesn't want a nickname, or maybe he has a nickname he already likes.
gonna wrap! 💖
[She winks at Zidane again, but she's starting to readjust, pushing herself up to her feet and stretching, arms going up over her head and then dropping with a sigh.]
Guess I'll just have to go look for him and ask. You coming?
[She isn't actually going to go look for him, but... she's feeling a little peckish.]
sounds good!
[Surprising Nanaki with a nickname would be great, but it had to be a good one.]
Hm... maybe in a bit. I'm gonna have another look around.
[Maybe encounter a certain someone that he needed to get the flowers they were talking about earlier...]
