3rd Feather - November Catchall [Open]
🧙 WHO: Crow and You!
⚔️️ WHAT: Flap Veg Quest and some TDM prompts
🕒 WHEN: Throughout November
🗺️ WHERE: Various locations
⚠️ WARNINGS: None at the moment
[Quest] Flap Veg
[ Crow saw both requests. One to protect the butterfly lettuce and the other to steal it. He considers both, but it doesn't seem wise to be the offensive when he has no idea how outmatched he'd be. It's better to be on the defense, but there are still disadvantages there too. Whatever, how hard can guarding lettuce be?
So Crow guards over the fluttering produce armed with his guitar, in case things do go awry. Though as miraculous as flying lettuce is, it's also quite boring to watch. So Crow may--may not be nodding off in the middle of his shift. This could be a good chance to steal some lettuce!]
A. The Floor is Lava!
This is insane!
[Maybe this is someone's idea of a sick joke, but Crow perceives it as the best obstacle course ever! He stands at the doorframe leading to what looks like a living room. The room looks fully furnished, despite the obvious fact that the floor is full of magma, but the furniture doesn't seem to be scorched. Still, he can feel the heat radiating from it, and it does seem to appear realistic with how it bubbles and swirls around like boiling stew.
Crow peeks around the room, trying to map out how he would get across. There are various things they can use as footings like the coffee table, sofa, and armchairs. There are a few bookcases along the walls that maybe they could knock over or even the curtains they could swing from.
He bounces on his heels, ready to take the first leap inside. Finally, he turns to his comrade, seeing how they felt about this.]
Should we stick together? Or go separate ways and meet on the other side?
B. Hungry No More
I. [Crow enjoyed watching those videos. So much that they encouraged him to help the cause, and also experiment with cloning the food. It's an issue he firmly stands behind because no one should have to wonder where their next meal is. So he starts to play around with a few recipes. Some didn't even work, but Crow keeps trying. He follows some videos to a T, but ultimately he decides to be a little heavy-handed towards the end. Unfortunately, this effort causes the food to multiply at a quite alarming rate. Crow stands there stunned at how fast his food is replicating, before long it flattens him against the wall. The rocker couldn't even move an inch from the sheer weight of the accumulating vegetable, why did he think it was a good idea to clone a pumpkin?! All he could do is yell out for help, hoping someone could hear him.]
Is anyone out there?! I'm being crushed! Crushed to death by pumpkins!!
II. [ Somehow he manages to escape death's cold grasp after the first mishap, but this time will be different. He gives the recipe another go, this time choosing a carrot to experiment on. Yet, Crow actually messes up the recipe again, but not only does it multiply, but the vegetable also starts sprouting arms and legs. Not long there's a small army of carrots menacingly stalking towards him.]
This is why I don't do science experiments!
[He tries to get rid of them, pulling out his guitar, so he can hack the produce into bits. The sharp edge of his guitar splits a few of them in half. Crow watches in horror as the monster carrots regenerate, before replicating into doubles.]
Shit!
[He doesn't even know how to fix this either. All Crow could do is seek help, but from whom? Maybe you're lucky enough to bump into Crow as he tries to outrun some mutated carrots.]
C. Magical Flu
[He's been feeling under the weather for a few days. The normally energetic hedgehog finds himself just wanting to sleep all day. His body feels weak and heavy. He also constantly feels cold. He hopes he's not getting...sick?! He should probably stay inside and reserve his energy, but he figures a walk might cure his lethargy. Big mistake!
He walks around Camelot, but he doesn't feel any better. Instead, his nose feels a bit itchy now. He covers his nose for the inevitable sneeze to follow.]
ACHOO!
[ Unbeknowst to Crow some of his dark magic leaks out and hits a person nearby. The innocent bystander's clothes flip backward, so all the fastenings are at the person's back instead of the front. Someone's going to have trouble getting out of their clothes. He sneezes again a horse gets hit by the stray magic, the stallion's legs start to wiggle about as if made of jelly. The redhead notices weird things are happening around him, but he's not aware that he's the cause. Since Crow's magic consists of jinxes and enchantments, he'll affect people with mild annoyances.]
Huh? What is up with everyone today?
[Someone stop him before he creates an even bigger mess!]
D. Paralysis, paralysis, paralysis again
[ Crow seems like a pretty confident person, but he actually has some insecurities as well. A wandering sleep demon picks up on it as the redhead sleeps, entering his body and creating a nightmare of his own inner demons. On the outside, Crow is tossing and turning, muttering to himself and clutching his blanket tightly around him.
Though within his dream, he sees his father. At least, a dark silhouette of the grumpy hedgehog. The shadowy figure starts to belittle him, just like he always did.]
So, you came crawling back? That precious dream of yours ended up being a failure, didn't it?
[ Crow could feel those words affecting him, making him feel small.] N-no, it didn't! ShinganCrimsonZ has played at many venues and we have a fanbase---!
But you haven't made it to the top of Midi City's music charts, yet?
N-no, but it's only a matter of time! Just a little bit more and I'll prove to you that I have what it takes!
You don't have what it takes. You're difficult to work with! You're self-centered! Bad attitude, too! You don't have the ambition to see it through! When are you going to learn to accept your place? You've come from generations of dairy farmers, that's all you'll ever be.
[Crow can feel each of those words anchoring him down. Normally, he would fight back. Argue that those words aren't true at all, but his voice gets lost in his throat. He can't deny it, maybe he's right?]

Hey, hey... Chibimoth is a lot stronger than you'd think. I'm only able to make a projection of him, but the real thing would've decimated these guys in seconds!
[That being said, he's going to be folding his arms and staring pointedly at Crow.]
Now then... Do tell me the important lesson that you've learned today. I hope it involves something along the lines of "I'll Pay More Attention to Potions or Magic I Use Before Making a Meal!"
no subject
[ Crow doesn't seem convinced that Chibimoth was a bit more fierce than he looks. Guess, he'll have to see that side at another time.
Although, when Kotarou stares at him and asks him what he's learned, Crow looks a little caught off guard. The lesson of the day? Is this a kid's show? --Oh wait, he's from a kid's show!]
Well, actually it wasn't for dinner! I was selflessly trying to help with the food shortages! But yeah, I did learn a lesson! Don't believe everything you see on social media!
[Well...it's a valid point!]
no subject
[Either way, Kotarou is going to pick up some hay and throw it right in Crow's face. He seemed to be regretful, but that wasn't going to stop Kotarou from punishing him just a bit more. Though he thinks being chased by a bunch of angry carrots have done the job.]
More importantly... Looks like the livestock are finishing up on their lunch over there. At least we know how to help out the farm animals and ecosystem if we ever have a wild case like this again. [A beat.] Hey... What is your name, anyway?
no subject
[ But yeah, next time he'll leave it to the professionals. All he could think of was how the food ended up wasted. Although, it wasn't edible to people, at least the livestock could benefit from it.]
It won't happen again! I'm not doing any more experiments! And the name's Crow, NOT Cherry boy! NOT Master Chief! Crow, the Crimson Angel of the Apocalypse!
[He didn't need to add in that last part, but he did anyway!]
And what's yours?
no subject
[Give him a second, Kotarou is covering his mouth with both hands to try and cover his snickering. Just how? How? How could he take this guy seriously with a silly title like that? Kotarou couldn't help and grow attached to people like this pretty quickly.
This guy is a Yoshino-type. Absolutely. He takes a moment to contain himself before speaking again... His voice sounds a little cracked as if he was trying to recover from a burst of laughter.]
M-My name is Tennouji Kotarou. Just... just your friendly neighborhood local here! I have no grand titles asides being the ruler of common sense... hehe...!
no subject
You won't be laughing when the apocalypse comes for you next!
[ Sadly, Crow takes himself seriously, maybe too seriously. It's his band's back story that he's a dark angel with the goal to give people a revelation before the next apocalypse. Yet, Crow almost seems to blur between the lines of reality and the stage, but if he doesn't believe it himself, would anyone else?]
Ruler of Common Sense?! Heh, well what's the fun in that?! And that's a lame title by the way! You could've said the Shining Gunslinger or something!
no subject
[Ironically, Kotarou's (subjective) best friend in a rock band! So hearing this was just reminding him of Yoshino. He had to wonder how and why he attracts so many "outlaws" in his life. Well, Kotarou is certainly enjoying himself...]
"Shining Gunslinger"... Hey, I might just borrow that for a RPG class title. Looks like you've got a knack for this!
no subject
[No, really, he's serious! Though he doesn't take Kotarou laughing in his face to heart, he's gotten nearly the same reaction from anyone he's told in Avalon.
Though he takes pride in this brat liking his nickname. It is pretty great, even though he'd think it's too cool to use for an RPG.]
It is pretty cool, isn't it? I am a songwriter so that kind of thing comes naturally to me! Anyway, Guess we can get out of this haystack now!
[The rabid carrots have been annihilated, so Crow moves to exit the hay, standing up to pick off the hay strands that end up in his hair and clothes.]
Well, if you happen to have some free time, hit me up! I'll treat you to a meal for helping me out!
