August Catch-All
🧙 WHO: Keith, OTA
⚔️️ WHAT: Quests, TDM prompts, open to other options, as part of the animal mage prank, Keith has black cat ears and a tail, which looks pretty weird when he transforms into something else XD
🕒 WHEN: Throughout August
🗺️ WHERE: Around Camelot and in the Lake
⚠️ WARNINGS: Hunting for the invasive species prompt, violence because animal mage attacks, injuries and everything that goes with that, will update if needed
=====
Don't Treep, Man
Out in the farmlands, Keith could be found doing a variety of tasks early on in the month. He was helping with mending fences and equipment as best he could, using his elemental magic to help water fields, things like that. It was hard and tiring work, but he didn't mind so much. At some point, he could also be found transformed into a border collie (with an extra set of ears and a second tail that happened to belong to a cat...) and running with Kosmo to herd in animals that had escaped, bringing them back to the farms.
He won't turn down help... or argue too much if someone wanted to try talking him into a lunch break.
=====
Invasive Species
Yes, Avalon had developed itself into a fairly modern-like society, so hunting for survival wasn't actually a true necessity. However, some of the creatures that were causing problems would be pretty useful for feeding people in a pinch. Leaning on the two years he spent in the Abyss with his mother, where he had found Kosmo and raised and trained him, Keith found himself and his wolf doing something they hadn't done in what felt like a long time. Just... hunting...
For a while, it actually was kind of nice to get back to that. Just him and his wolf, working in tandem, doing what they did best, and now with the added benefit of being able to communicate on a new level thanks to Keith's animal magic. Keith could be found out in the woods for a few hours each day if he wasn't working at the farms, or at various town businesses that would be interested in that sort of thing, looking to sell off what he'd brought back. Restaurants? Butchers? Tanneries? Yup.
=====
Fresh Waters
Once he got over the initial panic of his situation and was told what was going on, Keith made it a point to figure out how to use his new mer-tail so he could get his stuff and grab the nearest people that might need help, and get back to the surface as quickly as possible. Three days wasn't a long time, and, since no one could seem to tell him just how long it had been already since he'd first arrived, he didn't want to take any risks getting stuck down there like this.
Unlike one of his teammates back home, being a mer was not a dream of his. Plus, this was a double curse! He still had the cat ears from that stupid animal magic spell someone cast on Camelot!
Thankfully, Keith's self-awareness when it came to his movements made it easy for him to learn, and it only took a few hours, really, before he was zooming around the underwater village, locating and reclaiming his things and finding others who might need help getting out of there before that last sunset.
=====
Animal Mage Hunt
Later in the month, the attacks on animal mages were still continuing. Keith's efforts with helping to herd the lost livestock back to their caretakers hadn't gone unnoticed, either. Despite the fact that he was also visibly a target of the spell in question, Keith found himself the target of several of these attempts to eliminate the source of the curse throughout the month at various points. Most were one-on-one and easy for him to escape from. He'd learned to combine his fire and water magic to create the steam equivalent of a smoke bomb, too, in order to mask an escape if he found himself in a position where he knew he couldn't fight back for some reason.
That said, though, after the first few attempts on his life, Keith stopped going out without his armor on. While he never stopped carrying his Marmora sword in general even with normal clothes, he would sometimes leave the bayard in his apartment with his armor, but now? Nope. He had both blades and his armor. He was ready for a fight at all times.
He would also be looking for these animal mage hunters, working to hopefully stop them from killing his fellow mages. In some cases, he might be the rescuer. In others, he might need rescuing. Towards the end of the month, the constant fighting and being on edge would finally get to him, and he'd end up injured pretty badly in one of the attacks. He'd barely escape, but he was going to need help getting somewhere safe.
=====
Open House & Swap Meet
As Keith was recovering and starting to feel better from his injuries sustained in the mage attacks, he would attend the open house at Camelot castle. He could be found wandering the castle itself and exploring, as well as visiting different vendors at the Swap Meet. If anyone were to sneak up on him, though, they might be met with a sword to their throat or find themselves knocked back and away with a fairly strong gust of wind. He was still a little on edge after a rough month of watching his back.

[Meanwhile, Zidane works as he was before.]
no subject
He did eventually stop beating the nails into the fence, and, now that he was finished with that section, he moved to the other side of Zidane to start the next one.]
If I find anything out, I'll let you know... [His voice was quiet, but now that he knew there was a source, he was going to start investigating, too.] The more we have working together on this, the faster we might get this finished, and hopefully not have too many people get hurt or worse because of it.
no subject
[He likes to stay informed on things like this. Picking up a few nails, he continues working on his section.] Yeah. I'm worried because there are kids with animal magic too.
no subject
[Keith was definitely not happy about it. He'd been kneeling to work on the fence and he now sat back on his heels with a frustrated sigh.]
I just wish I knew more. I feel like there's nothing I can do.
no subject
[Like that girl. Shaking his head, he stood up and moved over to the next part of the fence]
I've been trying to track down the person that posted this, but I'm no good with tech. Maybe you have some ideas?
no subject
Not me... but you might want to ask Matt Holt. He's got the technology-based magic, and he and his sister are like computer geniuses I know from back home. Pidge isn't here
yet, but Matt can probably help you out even on his own better than I can.no subject
no subject
I'll ask him next time we're together.
[He finished up his section and stood up, stretching his arms over his head. Between the herding and the fencing, he was definitely starting to feel it now. He yawned.]
I think I need a break...
no subject
[While Keith stretches, Zidane will focus on his task. There's still more to do, but Keith did help.]
No problem~ Thanks for the help!
no subject
[Keith grabbed the items he'd brought out, though he left his extra nails for Zidane in case he needed them, and headed back to where the tools were kept to turn them back in.]
