quest four | you can't catch fish if you don't go fishing!

[chims]

CHARACTERS: ALL (holyrelic)
DATE: Aug 12 - 16 (extended due to RL punting the modchims)
RATING: KEEP IT G
SUMMARY: There's a fishing tournament being talked about around Mac Anu and Lumina Cloth. Do you have what it takes to be the Grandmaster Fisher?! ... But before that, there's bait to be found!

There's a buzz in the plaza and quite a few posters put out. It seems that with the dog days of summer upon everyone, it's also time to partake of a typical summer activity... Fishing! On the posters strewn throughout the Root Towns are the keywords ΔDelicious Unlimited Ocean. Once there, they'll be greeted by the sight of several islands all connected to a larger, 'main' island where the GMs are situated. Right in front of the Chaos Gate too, so there's no missing them. Good thing too, because they're handing out the fishing rods you need to complete this quest!

... But no bait?

A quick inquiry will net players the answer; defeat monsters to earn bait in order to catch fish for the salmon bake later! Okay, so maybe it wasn't a salmon bake but grilled fish does smell sound like a nice incentive right? Five of the islands branching off the main one has a small sign in front that indicate which levels they'll find there, starting from level 1 through 10 up to level 41 through 50 for the most daring. There's space all throughout the islands that seem to be designated 'safe spots' where one can start fishing without worrying about getting ambushed.

Go forth and catch that elusive Halibut for dinner!

[ooc: Okay, 2 things.

1) Event extended because Life hates your mods. 8'( Sorry this came up so late, folks.

2) All right! There are all sorts of fishes, but the fishes you'll be catching are of the monster variety. The dropped item will be a normal fish (re; salmon, halibut, tilapia, etc)! There are complimentary summer/beach costumes for all who participate and... quirky(?) fishbone/seafood themed weapons for everyone who catches a fish.

And before anyone asks, yes. Even that tiny little smelt can potentially net you a gigantic Broadsword]

[headtilt] So? You don't seem like a bad person.

[wry smile] And yea, before you go on about how you could be totally evil and plotting the destruction of The World and everyone in it and what a lamebrain I must be to be so trustful, I'm gonna cut you off because I've been down that road and back a couple of times already. Yep.

Those were some pretty harrowing boss fights. [laugh]

But yea. I trust ya. Even if you had to do something questionable in your past, you don't seem the sort of person who does something bad just for the sake of it.

[tank_sniper]

["Something questionable" indeed. She'll continue to stare for a moment before shaking her head, not so much out of rejection as it is exasperation.

...But she is a little grateful.]

So you've even befriended people you've fought with before?

[greaterspeed]

[laughs again] You kidding? Half of them tried to kill me before we cleared up all the confusion!

[COMPLETELY. NONCHALANT.]

[tank_sniper]

They... tried to kill you?

[Even she would have trouble saying something like that so carelessly.]

[greaterspeed]

Yea. See, when you've got some over zealous friends who let duty come before common sense, sometimes terrible misunderstandings happen.

And the moral of this story is to listen to what other people have to say first and try to throw them off a platform suspended in the stratosphere second.

[tank_sniper]

[How... do you even respond to that......]

You must have some... very interesting friends.

[greaterspeed]

They're interesting, but they're good people. [nods] So I'm sure you'll all get along fine.

[tank_sniper]

If you say so...

[She doesn't seem convinced.]

[greaterspeed]

No, no, you're a lot like them - minus the violent bit - so I think you guys will get along better. And not all of my friends are like that anyway. Tails' a good kid and Cream's adorable.

[tank_sniper]

Well, if I ever somehow meet them, I'll keep it in mind.

[greaterspeed]

And if they ever give you trouble, just tell me! [/cheerful]

[tank_sniper]

[Okay, even she can't keep up this charade for long.]

Do you really think I'll even get the chance?
