[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

[I. No Buccaing Out]


[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...


[II. Holo, Goodbye]


[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.]


[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.]

[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!


[IV. A Stone's Throw from Revenge]


[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!?


[V. There's Safety in Numbers]


[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.]



[VI. Wildcard]


[Can't decide out of all the prompts? New player that rather continue a TDM thread here than on the drive? This is the option for you! Just hit me up at [plurk.com profile] demidemonLove!]

[Meanwhile, here Ken was, thinking to himself. Obviously, this was very important if this rock was suppose to be meant for someone else. As he pondered about this, there was only one logical conclusion!]

Why not find one that has both features?

[Clearly, this was the best option!]

[The last time that Izuku was down on the Silent Shore he, Ochako and Gaius had to fight off a pretty hefty wave of violent orcs. This time it seems that the water is more their turf and the nudibranches are the ones causing the issues now. Izuku has to wonder if it's something negatively magical about this place that attracts all the trouble...

As he has to tread in the water now Izuku can't bring his broadsword with him. Without the heavy weapon, Izuku is relying on his magic skills for this. But that won't slow him down, he's ready to help.

Even if he feels bad about using a corpse to... Ugh.]


I think we have to keep going, though. If we bring down the numbers enough, it should make this place safe again. Erm... At least- safer.

Holo Goodbye

The shiniest!

Did you know there's a belief in Owari if you can skip a rock across the river when it's not frozen without it sinking, you can accomplish anything.

[Speaking of flat rocks; watch this.]

[Nobunaga goes skipping the flattest rock he can across the river!]
konpeito_aji: (mwahahahahaha)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-04 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
ROCK SKIPPING CONTEST! COME ON!!! You can't be too drunk already!!!

[Whatever, he'll just get the fairies to learn how to be as awesome as him. OBVIOUSLY.]

[Nobunaga is also trying to film it for the Granny, though he hopes this part doesn't give her a heart attack or something.]
konpeito_aji: (baka-dono)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Contest! CONTEST!!!]

[Honestly Nobunaga adores the fae. They're like him. Competitive dumbasses who can't hold their liquor.]

[Sadly Zidane, it's going to get a lot harder, because now Nobunaga and the fairies are going to be trying to skip all the flat stones across the river!]


Don't you want to join in? With your hand skills, you can probably do it the easiest!
forgeabettertomorrow: (come on trust me!)

Holo, Goodbye

[Zidane and Darin really were two people cut from the same cloth. When he heard the request, he couldn't help but sign up as fast as he could either. So when he found himself teamed up with Zidane again, it was actually a welcome surprise.]

We have to choose? Why not both? If we have time, I could always carve it into something...really make it one of a kind.
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
If we each take one, I'm sure they won't mind. Hell, I'm sure if we explain the situation they might even appreciate the honesty.

...Worse comes to worse, we can trade something.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not a rock? We could ask them what would be comparable in value. I mean, two months ago, I was trapped in an elevator and the gnome stopping me from getting out just wanted to hear an embarrassing story.

People put worth in weird things but...it could work in our favor.
forgeabettertomorrow: (I'm about to do something awesome)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
...We'll have to ask. But you are entirely too prepared to provide one.

So...dish. Who have you got a story on? Anyone here?
forgeabettertomorrow: (No more doubt no more regret)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
A theater troupe? Really?

You know, I can see it. You've got this whole ability to slip into a character at the drop of a hat.

But I won't say no to an interesting story.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Just Say Run Goes WIth Everything?)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
... ... ...

Okay, this?

This is nice. I could get used to quests like this.

...You think they'll share any drinks with us?
forgeabettertomorrow: (Don't know how to quit)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Holy crap! You think? I could totally drink fairies under the table!

...Hm. You know, I have an idea.
forgeabettertomorrow: (No more doubt no more regret)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-05-04 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
What if we could bargain for a stone...

And a bottle of that fairy ale?

I don't know about you, but if it were me? Enjoying a glass of fairy wine while enjoying the sight of a treasured holo-rock would leave me with no regrets.
