[Open] Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time
🧙 WHO: Zidane and You!
⚔️️ WHAT: May catch-all! Quests, Contests, and a Minotaur, oh my!
🕒 WHEN: All throughout May
🗺️ WHERE: In and out of Camelot City
⚠️ WARNINGS: Killing in one quest and cursing follows
[The Silent Shore living up to its name tonight, but that didn't matter once they were in the water. It was funny in that way being underwater, how every motion from the current a noisy muted slosh heavy against the ear and yet still not loud enough to cover up every other sound below.]
[But they weren't here to wax poetics about the ocean; they were here about nudibranches.]
[... Hehe, funny name, but not a fun creature to deal with - mostly. They were fortunately slow, but on the other hand, there's a lot off them. Zidane can see why they were becoming a problem since, when he killed one, there were just three more to deal with inching towards the corpse he was going to dispose of. At least it worked as bait?]
It's like there's no end to these guys...
[It's a sentimental request and time was of the essence. Not only that, but he wouldn't mind seeing these holo rocks himself in-person. They've keep that visit short and grab one to take to grandma.]
Which rock do you think we should grab once we get there? I'm between saying the roundest one or the flattest we can find.
[They're almost there and this was obviously an important decision to make.]
[A bug catching contest was not the next contest he expected to join, but what the hell? If it put them on better terms with Celliwig then why not give it a go? And at least the bugs they were catching looked much better than oglops, but then again, most things looked better than oglops.]
[It wasn't long in before Zidane's in competition with one of the members of the Frog Tribe. A promise of a fair match and they're off. The prize for the winner? Well, the frog would be any bugs that Zidane caught if they won, but if Zidane won, he'd get one of the frog's special treasures. What was that? Who the heck knew; probably a bug, but hey, it was on.]
[Caught up in his own match, another character competing might find themselves nearly crashed into by Zidane in pursuit of another catch.]
Whoops! Sorry about that!
[From a friendly contest to Camelot being laid siege to by a minotaur. Well, this was putting a slight bump in the way of befriending Celliwig now, wasn't it? But it wasn't the time to think about that either. Buildings were being smashed, people were terrified and running whichever way they could find cover, but the rocks kept coming.]
Hey! Over here, you bastard!
[Zidane wasn't sure if the minotaur could hear him, but he was gonna get this guy's attention one way or another.]
[And one of those ways would be swapping the way one of those hurdled boulders was flying and reversing it back to the minotaur. Man, now he was glad he took several knocks to the head from his moogle practicing with rocks, but dammit, he had to work on his aim.]
Yeah! You heard me! C'mon, what's the matter? Suddenly can hit shit, can you!?
[It would be his luck that the place he just started working for got hit. The owner hadn't been inside, but he guessed he was unemployed again until repairs were done... or something. He'd figure it out after... well...]
[Annoyingly, that minotaur had caused quite a bit of damage to Camelot. Zidane still hadn't heard why either, but that guy was gone after a few knocks to the head. Well deserved he thinks, but it hadn't happened soon enough. Ignoring his own scraps and developing bruises, he pressed on to find people that might need help. He could help get people out of rubble, be a second pair of hands for a medic, even run off to get food or water if needed; just as usual, he was ready to help out.]

[I. No Buccaing Out]

[III. A Balanced Approach]
[A bug catching contest was not the next contest he expected to join, but what the hell? If it put them on better terms with Celliwig then why not give it a go? And at least the bugs they were catching looked much better than oglops, but then again, most things looked better than oglops.]
