[Open] Season's Change

[tantailizing]

🧙 WHO: Zidane Tribal and You
⚔️️ WHAT: Building projects, training, and feeding 'zombie' faes mistakenly, it's a catch-all for November!
🕒 WHEN: All throughout November until Event
🗺️ WHERE: Between Camelot, Red Springs, and the initial township
⚠️ WARNINGS: Warnings will be added if they come up, but no Forest of the Felled warnings apply. For now, in regards to Quest: AlmS FOR THE GORE, emaciation/starvation warning (by their appearance).

I. Training Grounds

[Well, he hadn't actually expected anything to come attached to the title of 'Lord' yet given lots of people had the title before he decided to see about getting it himself. It had perks - a little influence over people and the Traders, that sort of thing - but then the King finally announced the intent to set up townships. Now, they would be mainly for the refugees and dealing with the overcrowding in Camelot.]

[But he was a Noble... so, he would (or could) manage a township? Should he? Well, he did get the title for a reason, but this was... he didn't want to call this practice; he wanted to try for these people.]

[Maybe he shouldn't be thinking about this at the Training Grounds right now though; he'd forgotten about the fact he was working on his floating which left him twirling around in the air with his arms crossed and looking rather contemplative. If he's not careful, said aimless drifting might result in him crossing paths with someone else training.]

II. The Floor is Lava

[Though still thinking about taking over a township, that wasn't going to stop Zidane from helping set up the first one outside of Camelot. Personally, he thought setting one up near Celliwig Ruins would be better, but the explanation was to establish this one first before traveling that far out. He supposed it also gave time to deal with the Forest of the Felled and other Unseelie still appearing around said Ruins.]

[So, who the hell was the genius that decided to make the floor of the new township lava? He just wanted to have a few words with them.]

[It couldn't be real lava because none of the structures were being affected, but it was still hot as balls and no one wanted to risk touching it. Even he's not feeling up to dipping a foot in to see what happens - he just wanted to get these buildings set up for the people to move in and get themselves settled before winter really settled in the area.]

[So, whoever did this, Zidane would not play by the rules - and anyone who wanted out, he would happily escort out of the township limits until the matter was resolved. Otherwise, some folks helping out might see him drifting around, looking for the candle circles, and wrecking them on sight. Even if he didn't use his magic to maneuver, he was quick crossing the hazards using the abnormal platforms provided that good luck keeping up if attempting to stop him - or call out if you intend to help.]

III. AlmS FOR THE GORE

[Maybe he should've asked what these faeries looked like in detail because calling something a 'zombie' didn't really narrow things down. There was plenty of undead around, and if these faes really were a big issue, they weren't attacking people for food... or to eat them. Was it really a problem?]

[Reading the quest again, he looked up at the sound of groaning and noticed the skin and bones man just barely holding up a bowl.]

Hey, man...

[Damn, he knew things were getting bad, but this guy was thin - like, would taking him to see a doctor help at all or not, thin. He didn't have much on him since he always just got food as he went throughout his day except for maybe dinner, but he could spare placing a roll he'd gotten from the bakery into the bowl.]

It's all I got right now. I'll try to bring back something else. Just hang in there.

[Someone else who picked up the quest and may recognize the fae for what it was. Do they slay the fae as they're supposed to, stop Zidane, or do something else?]

IV. Wildcard

[OOC: As usual, any prompts you're interested in threading with Zidane that aren't here? Hit me up at demidemonLove. I'm interested in having him help out with the 'Hungry for More' in particular, but Zidane himself didn't want to risk it after someone did 'The Floor is Lava'.]

Comments

III

[beewulf]

[He had been hoping for something a bit more exciting. But all these fae seemed to be were largely taking the form of the eldery and infirm. Beggars on the streets asking for food. Of course Beowulf himself wasn't about that noise and opted instead to give the fairies their proper tribute.

It seemed he wasn't the only one with those intentions either. He gives the boy a look over for a moment.]

...Want some help?

[Comes the deep voice of a rather tall and thuggish looking man.]

[mithrarin]

"You look like you're having an easy time of this," commented Dust, rising from a crouch on a nearby roof, where he'd just finished snuffing out a circle. "Maybe too easy. I'm starting to feel a little competitive."

III

[luciing]

[ To answer the question of the prompt, he does not slay the fear gorta, but he does indeed halt Zidane just as he's about to turn away. ]

Hail, Youth.

[ His hand lowers to his side, reaching into his cloak... and he pulls out a single, red apple, and pressing it into the palm of the fae. ]

They are not vicious creatures, it seems. Only hungry. [ For not mortal flesh. If they were, this would be a different story. ]

III

[whirlwindthrust]

[ How about none of the options. Xiao doesn't seem to attack the fae, since the fae itself doesn't seem too keen on lashing out. Though he doesn't really see the reason to stop Zidane either. The mortal has proven himself to be of mostly sound mind so what reason would Xiao have to do so? ]

Why is it that you are offering?

[ That is what he wants to know. Why give the creature anything at all? ]
