[Open] February Catch-All

🧙 WHO: Nanaki (Red XIII) and YOU!
⚔️️ WHAT: Arriving, getting settled, quests
🕒 WHEN: All throughout February
🗺️ WHERE: Around here and there
⚠️ WARNINGS: None atm, will update accordingly!

Arrival - Caravans
[[At first glance, it might seem as though the strange, lion-like beast is a familiar of some sort. And that would be a fair assessment to make given his animalistic appearance, but for any who are sharing a cart with the beast they’ll see that he, too, has been given the same starting items as everyone else. What's more, he even seems to understand what a phone is! However, he seems to be having a little trouble with the smartphone itself. He prods at the device with his paws, ears flicking in annoyance as he tries to get the little device working with little success. Perched on a railing nearby is a gold-feathered phoenix, who is watching with rapt attention.]

[Eventually, Nanaki sighs, looking at the nearest person with an annoyed look on his face.]


Could I bother you to get some help with this? I’m having a little trouble.

The Red Spring - Training
[If Nanaki is grateful for one thing upon arriving here, it's the promise of a dedicated training ground. Learning how to use the magic of this strange world will definitely be an asset, so Nanaki wastes little time going to check out the training grounds. He's used to magic cast with materia, but Nanaki knows that to thrive in a new environment you have to be adaptable.]

[His phoenix familiar flutters nearby, perched on a nearby perch and watches as Nanaki focuses on following the instructions of the trainers and putting his magic into practice. He’s managed to create a couple small sparks of flame, but they are quick to flicker out. After some practice he huffs, sitting down with a swish of his tail.]


This is a lot harder than it looks…

Camelot - Exploring the City
[Once he's gotten himself settled, Nanaki takes some time to explore the city proper, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of a new area. A few people look at him strangely, but he seems unbothered by the odd looks; or, at the very least, has made the decision to ignore them for the most part.]

[Still, just because he has made the decision to ignore people's stares doesn't mean others are willing to ignore him. Several times if he approaches a business or pauses to glance around a shop, he'll often be stopped and asked about his bonded partner. It gets to the point where, most of the time, Nanaki's answer is the same deadpan statement.]


I'm afraid you're mistaken. I'm not someone's familiar, I'm a customer. And I need assistance.

Quest - The Libryinth
[Strange how a task such as sneaking into a library after hours can be considered a quest, but Nanaki can't help but be curious as to what he might find. And prowling quietly as he hunts for secrets is a skill he is very adept at, the very notion making his tail twitch in anticipation. A game like this could be fun, and a good test of his skills.]

[Nanaki is able to put his feline grace to use as he quietly prowls the bookshelves, hopping up on top of the shelves with ease. But for how simple he finds it, he can't say it'll be the same for his two-legged partner for the evening. He turns back to who he's with, his lone eye glinting in the dark.]


This will no doubt be difficult. Think you're up to the task?

Wildcard
[Got something you'd like to thread out with Red XIII? Feel free to DM me with an idea or come up with something on the fly!]

[Tsuna likes to think he has a decent threshold for weird. Certainly, that bar was raised rapidly the instant that Reborn came into his life and has really only managed to continue doing that, but Tsuna likes to think he's been able to adjust, more or less. He handled a baby becoming his tutor, he handled being sent ten years into the future, he's handling being in a completely different world with magical powers, (he's resisting handling being a mafia boss). Life likes throwing curve balls at Tsunayoshi Sawada, but Tsuna likes to think he's getting better at dodging them.

He helps out at this particular shop a few times a week. It's nothing glamorous, mostly just stocking the shelves for a bit of extra money. The kind of job he probably would have gotten back home had Reborn not come calling.]


And what can I help you with?

[He asks in a friendly tone, turning to the customer, and freezing. Almost as if his brain cannot quite comprehend what he is seeing right now. And so he's stuck with a friendly smile on his face.

Tsuna.exe has stopped working.]

[ Nanaki's not the only one struggling to use their magic. Mickey, coming from a world without it, is still stumped. He glances over, slightly surprised to see an animal talking - the irony's not lost on him, after a moment's thought - he begins to walk over, hoping to lend a friendly ear. ]

I know whatcha' mean, pal. I feel like everyone else is gettin' the hang of this stuff a lot faster than I am.

quest: the libryrinth

[On the other hand Izuku thought going to the library would be a key component in learning about this place. Pick up a few books, do a little studying? What could go wrong? Of course- that means getting roped into his first quest ever.

When Nanaki turns to address him he practically jumps on the spot.]


Eh??! ... Yeah- I think I'll be fine.

[He thinks. Honestly, he's never been the most stealthy person in the world. Maybe he can use this as an opportunity to train for that.]

[Dust watches the brief demonstration without much expression, which is very easy to accomplish when one refuses to embrace the concept of 'eye contact'. Hmm. This one might be tricky.]

This might be a stupid question, but are there any weapons or tools you're used to using?
wherethewindtakesme: (hmm)

Arrival

[personal profile] wherethewindtakesme 2021-02-13 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure...

[He does trail off when he realizes who the question is coming from. Apparently people from different worlds could be quite different. So he sits down to be more eye level.]

I just learned how to use something like this myself.

[ Xiao has been watching for a little while now. It is a bit insulting even from where he is standing. To assume anything about anyone arriving here just seems naïve to him. Or ignorant. Surely not everyone that falls into that lake is human or has a human form. ]

How disrespectful judging one's status purely based on their form.

[ His harsh tongue and tone definitely makes the shopkeeper cringe and bow their head. ]

[Jade has been so intent on observing the people around her that when she turns towards the source of the voice, she keeps her gaze at her own eye-level to start— but a glimpse of bright orange fur quickly draws her attention downwards towards the voice's owner. There's a brief moment where her dark eyebrows arch upwards in surprise, but a faint smile soon follows as she drops down onto one knee, arm propped against the other as she leans in to get a better look at the device in front of him.]

I don't know much about them, myself, but I would be happy to help if I can. What's the trouble?

[Is it not having thumbs? She thinks that would be pretty tough.]
theskyaccepts: (now now)

[personal profile] theskyaccepts 2021-02-14 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...uhh...

[Come on Tsuna. You've seen weirder, right? How is this any weirder than Lambo at the best of times?

It's a bit mechanical, but eventually he finds his voice.]


I...I think we have some jerky in the next aisle. I...I don't know about anything else. I only recently started working here.

But I can look.

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2021-02-14 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
At least we're not alone in our struggles, huh? But I'm sure we'll catch up eventually. And everyone here is really nice, offerin' to help us out and make sure we do our best!

[ goodness gracious, the positivity from him is almost blinding. ]

My name's Mickey Mouse. What's yours?

It matters not if you're accustomed to hearing it or not. Regardless, it is incorrect to make that assumption and does you a disservice.

[ Don't try to argue this or dismiss it. ]

That is a problem. I'm sure I could probably make something to help if I had some tools. But here...

[As he'd been shown, he brings up menus and texting and all the basics, anyway. His home didn't have this level of technology just yet.]

[At least the comment has Izuku shaking off a few of his first impression nerves.]

Ah- I'm not scared. I just don't know what to expect yet. But if you can see in the dark then I think it would be best if you lead the way, Nanaki-san.

[He gives a determined nod!]

There was something about not getting caught by the residents of this place...?

[Don't mind as he wonders for another split second if Nanaki is a canine or a feline...

He then smiles!]


Right. Let's start the mission- ... The quest!

[Izuku glances towards the tops of the bookshelves.]

It looks like the hall has several bookcases like this. They should be sturdy enough to jump to each one.
