November Catch-All [Open]
🧙 WHO: Nanaki/Red XIII and YOU!
⚔️️ WHAT: Protecting lettuce, blindfolded navigation, and cat naps
đź•’ WHEN: All throughout November
🗺️ WHERE: Various places
⚠️ WARNINGS: N/A; will adjust as needed!
A - Flappy Veg
[Humans hunting a creature to the brink of extinction for food is, unfortunately, not an uncommon practice even in his own world. As such, Nanaki feels a desire to help keep the Butterflying Lettuce safe, if only as a way of reminding others that animals are not just there for consumption. Even a carnivore like himself knows not to gorge themselves on prey until none remain!]
[Fortunately, he is able to put his stalking abilities to good practice here. He remains close to a flock of five, a prime target for poaching foodies. If one approaches, he will let out a growl and emerge from a nearby hiding place.]
If I were you, I’d think twice before hunting this flock.
[[OoC: This is open to both those who are also defending the Butterflying Lettuce or those who are doing the Dark Web equivalent! Feel free to tag in on either end!]]
B - Not Seeing Is Believing
[Creatures that can turn others to stone… the idea sits heavy in Nanaki’s bones, bringing back memories of the caves just outside of Cosmo Canyon, and the conflict that had occurred there. He tries not to let his unpleasant thoughts deter him, but he has to admit he’s a little on edge for this particular mission.]
[Oddly enough, the blindfolds do help a little, offering some protection from the threat of petrification. And fortunately for him, he has sharp senses of hearing and smell that he’s able to use in place of his sight. So if he hears others nearby, he will pad forward towards them.]
If you need assistance crossing, I can help. My nose is strong and my hearing is probably better than yours.
C - The Red Spring
[Though the city of Camelot is a nice city full of conveniences, Nanaki does prefer more open spaces. The wilds outside of the city provide nice hunting, but if he wants a place to relax, he’s begun to find The Red Spring to be a nice place to do so. He stays away from the water most of the time, but even the ambient warmth of the hot spring is nice, and enough to lull even a big cat like himself in for a nice cat nap.]
[He can sometimes be found here, taking a nap on one of the lounge chairs… or at least looking like he is taking a nap. If someone approaches, his ear will flick, and his good eye will open.]
...if you’re needing a place to sit, I will be done with my nap soon.
D - Wildcard
[If you’d like a custom starter or would like to plan something different out, feel free to PM me here or hit me up on plurk at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[He says it with a bit of distaste in his mouth. But he looks at the flying lettuce herd nearby.]
They are strange, but I can see the appeal in them.
no subject
[ And, hey! Doesn't matter if they end up having to share the reward, or something. Weiss is actually? Honestly fine not getting what was originally advertised as the reward. She's more into getting the recognition for it. The more known she is, and the higher her status becomes, then she'll likely get more help with what she wants in terms of magical knowledge and power from this world.
Basically? She wants to be able to open a world from here to her own world, at a specific point in time, once Avalon's been saved and the timelines have been fixed. Especially since she found herself at a point where she was filled with nothing but dread, loneliness, and despair in the middle of a war.
It's only after realising that she might have just sounded bossy that she clears her throat, a lot less formal now that she was earlier. ]
Sorry, that is— if you'd prefer to work alone, that's fine, too.
no subject
I am quite fine to work as a pair. It is sometimes better to hunt in a pack than on your own. If you do not mind me as a partner, that is.
[He won't say no to rewards, but he might just offer them up to Weiss at the end anyway. He doesn't need a lot of the same things humans do, after all.]
no subject
[ Weiss is not quite desperate for Nanaki's approval for anything, but it... does make her happy to know he doesn't mind! She just wants to be liked by Cloud's friends...
As it turns out, though, the poaches are much closer than they realised. Not going on the offensive just yet, but they do arrive at the scene, rustling about in the bushes on the other side. It's only because Weiss has a trained ear that she can hear others. If she had her Aura in this world, she'd be able to tell the presence of other people easily.
Her back straightens and she's quick to place a hand on the hilt of her sword. ]
Looks like we're not alone anymore.
no subject
[There's not much time to think on that, though, as his ears perk up at the sound of rustling. He turns with Weiss, before growling low in his throat.]
So it would seem. Let us show them that this herd is not to be targeted today.
no subject
Two, three, five... there's five of them, all brandishing weapons. Weiss isn't sure if these guys know magic, but given the nature of Avalon? It's very likely. She wields her sword in full, blade at the ready in case she needs to strike first. ]
It would be best that you turn around now.
[ A warning. But it isn't taken seriously by the poachers, as they look at each other and start to laugh. "What are you going to do about it, Princess? Is your familiar going to come at us?"
... NANAKI IS NOT HER FAMILIAR???? ]
no subject
[Five opponents against the two of them? A lot, but not out of the realm of possibility. He growls, baring his teeth at the poachers... but when they accuse him of being her familiar, he snarls, his fur bristling.]
Were I merely a familiar, could I wield magic like this??
[He lets out a howl, and a burst of fire shoots out at the poacher!]
so sorry! it's been a busy week
It puts a smile on her face, actually, and she'll put aside the talk for now and focus on protecting the flying lettuce. Following up with the bursts of fire from Nanaki, she spins once, and upon facing the poachers again, points her sword at them. With the magic bullets she's got loaded in her sword, icicles begin to shoot out of it and towards the poachers.
Their enemies seem to be tougher than they look, though, creating shields with the own magic they wield. ]
It's all good! Hope the week calms down for you /o/
[The lettuce scatter and flee behind them as the fight continues on. That shield of magic is a surprise, but Nanaki doesn't want to let that deter him. Rather than conjure up another fireball, he runs forward with all his speed, snarling as he leaps at the men. Perhaps he can push through with sheer force of will alone?]
