1. Goose catching - Open (cw: mentions of things associated with hunting geese)
[One would think that someone as much like a bird as Hawk would have no problem catching a goose. But then it is a goose and they are annoying and among the very few birds he dislikes. The others being mostly the birds that can't fly.]
I swear, when I catch you I'm going to enjoy plucking out each and every one of your feathers and making you into dinner!
[He's then going to use some kinetic magic to move something into the goose's path. Of course the goose jumps jumps right over it and keeps on running away. Damn bird. Maybe someone can help him trap it.]
2. Candle pathway - Closed to Chris
[Having caught and killed a goose he felt he'd make good use of it. He's definitely a much better cook than Chris and she's one person he doesn't mind cooking for. He roasts it with herbs, makes some mashed potatoes and a salad and even brews a drink made from fermented apple juice that came out well (though he's going to keep quiet on already having drunk quite a bit of it). He knows all of it will taste great because like anything else he tries he's a really skilled cook even if he finds it boring. He enjoyed plucking the goose far more.
Since everything looks so pretty right now he's going to set up something outside with a few candles lit. It's off the path itself, but allows them to see the candles around their homes and they can walk around more once they finish eating. At the very least he wanted her to enjoy the roast goose that is the results of his efforts dealing with a very annoying bird that makes him look like a nice guy.
Once Chris can be seen, he'll lead her over to the table and she'll see a tiny hint of the dashing knight he was months ago as he makes some effort at being a gentleman. Still a bit rough around the edges, but there's some clear effort.]
I hope you don't mind something outdoors so we can enjoy the displays while we eat.
3. Dragon not quite slaying, part 1 - open
[Not a surprise that Hawk decided to join this group. He loves a good fight and dragons are powerful creatures. The Stone Giant sounded fun, but an intelligent creature like a dragon was far more desirable to fight.
So he's there and definitely one rushing in to be among the first to attack the dragon with his twin swords. He looks to see if he can find any others just as eager for a good fight to join up with.]
About damn time we got a worthy opponent to fight!
4. Dragon not quite slaying, part 2 - closed to Darin (cw: mentions of wanting to die, Ys IX spoilers)
[Well, this was definitely not going well and it's clear he's going to need everything he's got. With all these people present he hates using his berserker ability, but their numbers are down and he could use the edge it gives him to draw this to a conclusion already. He knows the drawback well, but truly their options are getting to slay the dragon or die trying at this point. A dragon is a worthy opponent, so there is no shame in dying here to him and it would be the only acceptable reason to fail here.
So he decides to go ahead and use it. It will be very obvious something is off. Even if the red eyes aren't visible, one can't miss the mostly black aura surrounding him. He looks quite pleased with himself and uses his magic to add lightning to his swords and begin his attacks anew. He is acting now like he just arrived here. He's clearly enjoying himself a lot, as evidence by his very creepy laughter as he taunts the dragon.]
Taking a big dragon like yourself this long to kill a puny little human like me?

[Yep, he's definitely lost it.]
