[Open] Send Shivers Down Your Spine
🧙 WHO: Zidane Tribal and You!
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-all for October feat. Fighting, Quests, and Stealing... not in that order
🕒 WHEN: Throughout October until the next Event
🗺️ WHERE: New Camelot, Ruins of Celliwig, Forest of the Fallen
⚠️ WARNINGS: Violence in fighting, and blood might pop up. Other than that, not going into gory details I don't think.
I. Don't Lose Your
He knew some people came back to the Ruins that were once Celliwig, and he did too. While mainly to check up on them, make sure they had their own food or supplies if they intended on staying, he would then stay around to help recover bodies or build grave markers before heading back to New Camelot.
However, subsequent visits were... tense to put it mildly.
It's not the first time people had been scattered by the sound of hooves pounding against the dirt, the disembodied laughing, and blocking the Headless Horseman's swing as he attempted to behead one of the many visitors to Celliwig. Zidane's daggers hold and he managed to redirect the swing - at which, the horse reared and carried its rider away, but they'll be circling around. He never left after one clash.
Zidane took that moment to look back.
"Go! Hide!"
From fixing fences to building up bunk beds, he's becoming a pretty efficient at building things. It was always just whatever set they needed before and then those small repairs around the hideout, but hey, he didn't mind this. It's a repetitive task maybe, but it's keeping him busy and they were going to be used. Really, he was happy to be able to help out.
"Alright..." He wiped he forehead with a wide grin. "This one's all ready! Let's get to the next one!"
It made sense why the landlord had been tight-lipped about whatever occurred at his house now. Originally, Zidane had dealt with the gang that came to his new home saying he had to pay some 'protection fee'. Well, he said that hadn't been in the contract, had a fight break out, and left them in the dumpster where they belonged. After what happened in Celliwig and Lestari, he'd let refugees move into his home, completely forgetting about the gang before.
Imagine his surprise to see those two-bit wannabe thugs bothering the family he was housing - and then hearing how they did that to the whole neighborhood.
He's not exactly sure about this new gang forming, but at least they wanted to help the refugees. And hell, if it meant killing two birds with one stone - IE, dealing with that cheapass aristocrat that set up this gang for a little illegal tinder on the side, fine with him. Donning a new black cloak and mask, Zidane was gonna see this aristocrat and all his friends deciding to withhold aid were gonna pay their own dues.
[OOC: Open also to people who might be deciding to hustle refugees for protection fees because Zidane's not having that. And people who are Robin Hoods or trying to stop said Robin Hood types, let's go!]
The once Forest of the Felled was pretty much just as they'd left it after the encounter with the Stone Giant: too quiet save for the small fauna and wind. And seeing the Giant sit in slumber again just reminded him how they failed, but he digressed. They weren't here about that; they were here about removing wards that were now rendered pretty much useless.
All was going pretty well until the sun started to go down... and then things began to change. He felt the fur on his tail and hair on his neck rise, and eventually had to stop with his group.
Wait, group? But there'd been so many people moment's ago. How'd they get separated?
But he brought a hand to his dagger and prepared himself, the rotted stench of decay and death reaching his nose faster than whatever had started talking minutes before.
... The hell was that thing approaching them!?

II. Bunker Down

III. A Quest from Locksley (mingled with Suns Out, Guns Out)

IV. Forest of the Fachan
The once Forest of the Felled was pretty much just as they'd left it after the encounter with the Stone Giant: too quiet save for the small fauna and wind.

no subject
For a moment, however -- he focuses before plants begin to sprout from the ground, vines wrapping around its legs. He only hopes that it stops it from moving around. He's not sure how strong they'll be, but he hopes it'll be enough. )
no subject
Oooh... did that hurt? Can you even say that hurt right now?
no subject
Zidane - now!
no subject
[Because this will get dicey... and gross. The limbs might be down, but there's still that mouth. And even if it wants to rattle and try to unnerve them, it tries snapping, and its head turns this way and that to avoid Zidane coming in. Still, it's nothing frantic enough that prevents him from going ahead and plunging his daggers into its eye.]
no subject
The monster seems to struggle amidst all the pain that the both of them seemed to have caused, and Asriel can't help but speak up. )
I... I think that did it.
no subject
Even if it didn't, it's gonna have a hard time getting back at us.
no subject
( Asriel pauses then, looking to the monster before looking to Zidane once more. This is one of the instances where it was either them, or the monster. )
... You're really strong, Zidane.
no subject
Hey, you're pretty strong too, Asriel. Good job with your magic.
no subject
Thanks, Zidane.
( He offers a wary smile. )
... Do you think there's a chance it might hurt something else?
no subject
[He smiles back a bit more. Though, he'll look back at the Fachan and shake his head.]
I don't think so. Well... hrm, if it comes back as a ghost maybe? But I don't know if it can.
no subject
( If there are going to be ghosts around here, then... it would be this time of year. )
no subject
[He's been hearing whispers about it, but he has no idea what that is and his confusion is evident on his face.]
no subject
Zidane, do you celebrate any holidays in Fall in your world...?
no subject
no subject
( He pauses for a moment. )
A part of Halloween is being able to dress up as whatever you want. In my world, humans would go door to door and get candy from others.
no subject
[There's a little recognition at the costumes.]
Really? We also dress up in costumes, but it's really to scare off any spooky ghosts that try to come back and haunt people.
no subject
( If they have to scare them away, that is. )
no subject
[Really, they're just... ugh.]
Still, a ghost that doesn't want to scare? What're they like?
no subject
( Which... is a bit scary to Asriel. It's not really a place he'd want to be in, despite thinking that monsters like that would be kind of cool to see. )
None of the ghosts at home really want to scare people -- one of them just wants to mix music together. ... He's actually really shy. I-I think that he'd be the kind of person who's more scared of Halloween than someone who would want to celebrate it.
no subject
[Especially after everything... yeah, not a chance he'd change it.]
Really? That sounds cool... Though, you know, I bet if he applied his music right, he'd be able to use it to celebrate Halloween too. The right music can set the tone for anything.
no subject
Gosh, that's true. It can make things a lot cooler than they actually are, huh?
no subject
[But, at least Asriel seems to be in a better mood.]
