isleofavalon | LATE AF SEPT CATCHALL

🧙 WHO: Kadoc and a bunch of people, including perhaps your character?!
⚔️️ WHAT: There sure is a lot of dumb shit happening in the month of September. Both OPEN and CLOSED prompts, the latter in the comments!
🕒 WHEN: IT'S—the month of September. (More specifically, the span from the beginning of the month to the first part of the event, ending before any dragon problems!)
🗺️ WHERE: Here there and everywhere, including Celliwig, ~the club~, straight up prison, and other assorted places around Camelot.
⚠️ WARNINGS: Eventual branding/tattoo/pain stuff, the subsequent servitude that comes along with that prompt, language, sexual themes in ~the club~, likely violence/actiony antics in the jailbreak, animal capture and implied slaughter for food in the event prompt, and I'll add anything else!

1. Kadoc the Stubborn Husky (early Sept., OPEN, thanks a lot Claude)

[Kadoc needs a second opinion. Maybe even a third, fourth, and further opinions. Claude is a lovable scamp and all, but Kadoc is a paranoid bastard, and he can't quite convince himself that he's not being had with the whole—howling thing. He sounds fine to his own ears! He's probably not an Animal Mage, although boy would this be a typically embarrassing way for that to make itself known if he were!

He needs confirmation, but after how that went with Claude, he can't quite bring himself to walk up to anyone and just start talking. What if he really is making dog noises?! So, instead, he's gathering his courage to approach people he recognizes as offworlders and . . . hold up his tablet, on which he has a Notes file open, with this typed in a large, visible font:]

I NEED YOUR HELP. NOTHING DANGEROUS.

[ . . . This could have been ~~an email~~ a network post, but he's not exactly on his game right now. Who can blame him?]

2. Jailhouse Rock (early Sept., CLOSED to Kate, Jailbreak quest)
Here!

3. Amanita Bigger Basket (early Sept., CLOSED to Ritsuka, Celliwig's month of magical mushes)
Here!

4. Super Smash Bros Part 2: The Revenge of the Smash (mid Sept., CLOSED to Itaru, The Pain-Tolerant Badass)
Here!

5. Your Obedient Servant (mid Sept., CLOSED to Rinea, The Caring Badass)
Here!

6. Lukewarm Knights (mid Sept., CLOSED to Gareth and Ritsuka, Hot Knights quest)
Here!

7. Jailbreak Part 2: The Great Goosening (late Sept., OPEN, the cute part of the event)

[Kadoc has had, to say the least, an unlucky month—but here finally there's a break, or at least a small pleasure. He's already spent plenty of time out in the wilderness gathering mushrooms this month and was debating whether to bother going on an end-of-month hunt, only for the hunt to come to him for once. A chance to grab a pre-fattened goose for their table to go with all those mushrooms? Don't mind if he does!

The geese have other ideas, of course. By now, Kadoc's managed to humanely return several of them to the farm; his Light magic helps there. It's no big deal to snap them up in cages of hard light and then carry those back to where they belong. But geese are smart. Geese are watching him. And when he finally snaps up the fattest of the geese he can find to take home for himself, shutting it up in another light cage and hefting it under his arm, that's when they make their move.

Catch Kadoc racing down the streets of Camelot, vaguely in the direction of his home, but mostly just in any direction that's away from the ten furious honking geese in hot pursuit of him. He's only barely watching where he's going. Watch out, or you could get swept up in this disaster and end up a feather pillow yourself!

Or save him. Someone, please save him from this entire month.]

(( Check out my plotting meme post here if you're interested in setting anything else up with Kadoc this month outside of the upcoming event; I'm happy to oblige! Also if I forgot to get one up hmu. It was a lot lol ))

[Medea had barely managed to avoid the many geese who'd been trying to get at her cloak- it was long and flowy and perfect for their evil beaks to try and grab at.

But it had quietened down a little bit now, enough for her to pick up some groceries and... Oh look. There was Kadoc. Being chased by a horde of furious geese.

Know what's better than 10 furious, honking geese?

10 furious, honking, cursed geese.

And so with a smirk, she concealed herself in the shadows and started to weave her dark magic- imbuing them with the fury of a dark sorceress. And, well, covering their eyes with a veil of darkness to add to the chaos. She had to give Kadoc a fighting chance, after all!]

Hahaha...~

[Only Medea would show that she cared for someone by relentlessly trolling them.]

[Ahh, he needs to rest, for just a moment, he needs to get a breath—

Kadoc ducks into an alleyway and seals it off with a transparent wall of hard light, up to the tops of the buildings he's sandwiched between. The geese will be able to fly over the partition once they realize it's open at the top, but this will slow them down enough in the meantime for Kadoc to slump over and suck in air; he leaves the "wall" clear so he can see the geese through it when they catch up.

Which they do, almost instantly, and . . . what the hell?! Did someone curse these geese?!

He stares at them, panicked, as they fling themselves against the clear light window. It's only a matter of time before they figure this out. But in the meantime, who did this?!]

Huh?!?

[Oh that panicked expression was perfect- that look of horror as he realised that soon enough, cursed geese would descent upon him with their feathery wrath.

Should she reveal herself now, should she wait? That was the question...

Well, it may be a little hard to hear over the loud honking, but there was definitely twisted laughter from somewhere in the nearby shadow.]

Let's see what he'll do now...hahaha..!

[Was someone laughing at him?! Kadoc's head snaps over in that direction; it's clear he heard her, or he heard something, at least. Well, that makes sense. If the geese are cursed, someone must have cursed them. Who would do this? What kind of enemy has he even made here?! A new Chaldean Servant, maybe? He'd heard what he's pretty sure was an evil laugh, but not well enough to identify who it came from, or what they'd said after that . . .

Dammit. The geese are beginning to climb higher in the air, wings beating against the Light barrier, and it's only a matter of time before they figure out it's open at the top . . . maybe if he can break the concentration of whomever did this—

Kadoc tries shining a sudden, bright beam in the direction of those shadows. Can he get a look at who's there before it's too late?!]

[Caster moved her arm in a wide arc as soon as she saw that flash of light- calling up a billowing cloud of darkness to conceal her presence. But perhaps he'd see that distinctive cloak as she moved back into the shadows-

But, unfortunately, that didn't seem to break her concentration on the cursed geese. They were still well and truly coming for him!]

Ah- not bad... hmhmhm.

[He wouldn't escape her "wrath" that easily.]

[A brief reprieve: he misses the cloak, because he's too focused on the geese, which are now beginning to fly up closer to the open top of the wall. But the magic he sees, and he knows it's familiar. If nothing else, this confirms a Dark Mage is behind this, setting these things on him . . . and he's going to have better luck going for the mage responsible than trying to fight off the cursed geese. Have you seen geese?!

In fact, the first one finally makes it over the top of the light wall, and the others, seeing that there's an opening up there, instantly begin following. Kadoc's only option is to open up a door in the bottom of the wall to dash through, taking advantage of the fact that the geese are all high up in the air right now trying to reach them, so he can run under them—and towards Caster, intent on confronting the culprit.

Not that he knows it's her yet!]
