[OPEN] I'd say let it snow, but...

🧙 WHO: Zidane (Garnet in one prompt) and You~
⚔️️ WHAT: Time to head to Elphame! And maybe a quest or two for December. Catch-all for December is what I'm saying
🕒 WHEN: Throughout December until Event
🗺️ WHERE: Elphame, New Camelot, etc.
⚠️ WARNINGS:

I. The Maiden's Task - Thitis

At first, Zidane's confused why this was a task at all, but then again, considering some people were already scared of heights, climbing the tallest tree on the first island just made that worse.

When he reaches the tree in quest, he manages to bite back a grimace. The tree itself isn't a problem, but there sure are thorns on it... and statues that he has several questions about how they got there. Oh well, 'Lord Tribal' isn't one to pass up a challenge; and heck, if he's careful, the thorns would just help him reach the top sooner.

... And once again, he would prove why one should always wear gloves while ascending the trunk.

II. The Maiden's Task - Thiton (feat. Garnet)

Branch acquired from the first task, Zidane delivers it soon to Thiton, but she also has a task: perform your favorite song. Well, there's only one song he can really think of...

Raising his eyebrows, he's immediately smiling wide - she must've heard about the task too and found her way over. Well then, Thiton needn't perform at all if she just wants to enjoy music and song, but her playing along actually helps.

Other characters might hear it too - the gentle strumming of two string instruments of sorts playing in accommodation to singing. They might be here for a while; maybe take a moment to enjoy. As for those already affected by synaesthesia, well... there's something very obvious being conveyed between two people present.

III. Avalon Crossing

Snow Spirits in need of temporary homes too? Sure, he's up for the task!

Not realizing how outlandish they might be? Yeah, he did that too.

Good thing theater makes one ready for weird or outlandish sets otherwise this task might be harder. The only thing hard about it was sculpting in the snow because no duh, it's freezing. Maybe he should've gotten that potion to regulate his temperature from the traders, but he's already in this and intends on finishing.

Just ignore that shivering as he packs more snow on.

IV. Oo-nye-doo?

He might not like horses, but they are Archimedes' horses. Agreeing to the task of rounding them up (he'll leave this month's manhunt to someone else thanks), Zidane's ready to try again with horses.

... But upon finding the first one with whomever joined him, maybe... not.

"... What the hell is that!?"

And oh gods, the sounds it makes.

No thanks, he'll take the horrors from his world any day thanks!

V. Wildcard

[OOC: Wanna do another prompt from the TDM or a Quest from the board that's not here? Hit me up at demidemonLove or DM me so we can plot. He's totally here for the other tasks if interested!]

[tempredmental]

Was that the snowball thing?

[Keith had heard rumors.]

I put one outside, and got a... [Where did he put that message- right. Got it. He pulled it out from his pocket.] ...'Bountiful Balloon Bungalow'. I was trying to get ideas.

[tantailizing]

Yeah, it was the snowball thing.

[Ah ha, so he's not the only one on this quest.]

[Blinking when Keith pulls out his message, Zidane brings a hand to his chin, thinking.] Bountiful? Balloons... So, what if it's spacious and colorful? Maybe you could add a few actual balloons, but I'd say that's up in the air.

[tempredmental]

[Zidane's joke went right over Keith's head.]

The actual balloons would make it pretty visible, huh? I mean... how big are these snow sprites anyway?

[Yes... he said 'sprites'.]

[tantailizing]

Hrm... there wasn't a mention, but I don't think they're big. If they're our size, we might have another problem.

[Imagine having to build full-sized snow vacation homes... 'cause he doesn't.]

[tempredmental]

Yeah, I'd think so. I mean, it looks like most of them have been small?

[He had been looking around at some of the other little sculptures for inspiration.]

Balloons... might be too big, too? I don't know if I can make small ones.

[tantailizing]

[There's plenty to look at, which is a good thing.]

Hm... maybe you don't need to make small ones; maybe there's already smaller balloons. And if you have to, maybe someone knows a spell or potion that could shrink them.

[tempredmental]

Hm. [Keith looked thoughtful as he considered it.] That's an option. Or, maybe it's not so literal. I mean, these are spirits, right? Maybe they just want pictures of like... hot air balloons... or something.

[tantailizing]

That's an option too.

['Hot air balloon?']

Something that could be 'balloon-like' or reminds them of balloons should do the trick. So having the shapes, or maybe just the potential to fly?

[tempredmental]

Potential... hm.

[Okay, so he was getting ideas here. This was good.]

Okay. Yeah. That makes sense.

I think I can handle that.

[tantailizing]

You think so? Alright!

[Good because the last thing any of them want is snow piled in their homes.]

Think I can see it when you finish?

[tempredmental]

Yeah. Sure. I'll let you know.

[Keith generally kept his more artistic capabilities to himself, but Zidane did help him with advice, so it would be nice to know what he thinks of the final results once it's finished.]

[tantailizing]

Awesome! I can't wait to see already!

[He has no idea what Keith's skills might be, but hey, good or bad, gotta lend some encouragement in either case.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith chuckled a bit.]

Already? I haven't even started, yet.

[tantailizing]

Just means you'll have to get started sooner. But not really, take your time! I'm not the client anyway.

[tempredmental]

[Keith laughed a little.]

Alright, yeah. Thanks. I'll see you later.

[tantailizing]

Yeah! See ya later!

[And he'll focus on his sculpt while Keith headed off.]
