quest one | here comes peter cottontail!

[tsunderator]

CHARACTERS: any and all!
DATE: April 8th~14th
RATING: PG for possible (and expected) swearing?
SUMMARY: It's the first Quest in The World, just in time for Easter! There's a message awaiting everyone on their Relics when they wake up, so hop to it!

[ You'll see this becoming a theme, Kain unfortunately decked out for the holiday in question while being rather sour about it. He's at his usual spot behind the Quest Kiosk, in his usual blue garb. The only difference is the silver bunny ears perching on his head, one straight with a bent tip and the other rather floppy.

The fluffy tail sticking out the back of the chair was not helping matters any. There's a basket filled with pastel paper easter grass and filled to burst with silver and bronze eggs, intricately designed with pipes, rivets and gears.

The Relics around town chirped, steamed, and vibrated, with the message already on-screen.

HAPPY EASTER （＊´∀｀＊ｂ）━━！！！！ There's eight eggs to be found in every area and dungeon today, so grab a basket by the Chaos Gate and find them all! One has a surprise for you, so bring the other seven to the Quest Kiosk for your final prize!

There's a sign beside the stacks of empty easter baskets detailing the objective a little further, stating that eggs in dungeons will be found no lower than the second floor, and that there's a prize for participating as well.

In the meantime, Kain is kicked back and playing a game on his Relic. ]



( ooc | Please don't forget to tag your characters into the log when you've replied! Here's the low-down on prizes: one of the eggs, when picked up, will spontaneously combust and your character will have a Rabbit Hood item automatically equipped. You can't remove it for the rest of the week, and it will give the character unique bunny ears like Kain, in the character's hair color (but sometimes accidents happen and it may not match!).

Anyone who participates but doesn't collect all the eggs in one area will be auto-equipped with an equally-irremovable Rabbit Tail charm ONLY ONCE! There will be no item duplicates, and all of the eggs they gathered will disappear at the end of the Quest if not turned in for the prize. The Rabbit Tail charm will give them a perfectly round fluff tail to match their ears.

Finally, if you collect all seven (eight with the bunny ears), you'll win a basket filled with fresh hot food, some extra rations, and a number of healing items. More free grub on the house! )

Would you change anything, if you could, if it meant you wouldn't have to be the one to fight a god?

[inhearts]

I chooseth this fate of mine own free will. [ She probably sounds like she's reciting something, but she means every single word. ]

[diedforyoursins]

Your world is lucky to have you, then.

[inhearts]

I think your world is lucky, too.

[ Glancing ahead, Minako notices a group of creatures blocking the bridge. She can't help the grin that grows on her face, at being able to move/fight. ] Ready to take them on?

[diedforyoursins]

[he looks up to follow her gaze, and a smirks spread across his face while he rolls his shoulders back and draws his sword.]

We'll have to in order to keep moving forward, won't we? [and before the monsters can notice them, he darts forward to attack.]

[inhearts]

[ She delays a moment, drawing her fans out, waiting until Kaworu surprises them and casts a Dek Corv at the creature she thinks will be the last targeted -- too bad she couldn't lower their defense yet, but the skill was probably something she'd learn sooner or later--

And then she runs in, her fans ready to attack. ]

[diedforyoursins]

[luckily it's a first level area with appropriately weak enemies, so the first one goes down after several slashes. he leaves the second to his teammate, turning to the last just as it takes a swipe at him.

aaaaand that barely even did anything. thank god for debuffs.]

[inhearts]

[ Though she still prefers her naginata, she's got used to her fans. Though they don't cut as deep or attack as strong, the fans move more swiftly and she's able to take the second one down with relentless attacking. If she had known fans were this much fun to use, she would have tried using them long ago.

Minako turns just as she sees Kaworu being attacked. She'd make the right call, after all, but -- that monster is going down. She doesn't have to think as she runs closer and starts attacking it. ]

[diedforyoursins]

[it wasn't nearly enough damage to disable him, especially after minako lowered its strength, so once she's pulled its attention he joins in the attack from the other side. between the two of them, it goes down in a few seconds.

there, nothing too hard about that, right?]

Thank you for watching my back.

1/2

[inhearts]

Of course! [ Minako flashes a victory and smiles, but the cut still bothers her. ]

2/3

[inhearts]

-- wait! Let me try something. [ She keeps her fans for now, and tries to concentrate. Persona, she thinks with her eyes closed, Dia -- but she doesn't feel anything. Opening her eyes, Minako sighs. ] I guess not.

[inhearts]

[ Instead, she rummages through her inventory and brings up one Health Drink consumable and presents it to Kaworu. ] Here, this should help! I've got plenty more too, if you want them.

[diedforyoursins]

[he takes the health drink without a fuss, offering her a grateful smile before downing it.]

You're rather considerate, given we've only just met.

[inhearts]

It's just the way I am. And [ she grins sheepishly ] I really did buy a whole lot.

[diedforyoursins]

It's strange. Man is usually slow to trust. But then, man is also full of oddities and exceptions to his own rules. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised after all.

[he gives her a quick once over, assuring that she's unharmed as well, before turning back to the bridge.]

Well, shall we continue?

[inhearts]

Let's-- [ Actually, no, because Minako's bending down and. She stands up, holding a egg! That the monsters probably dropped. ] Another one!

[diedforyoursins]

Oh! We're making good time.

[he takes it, dropping it into the basket with the others.]

So that's three. We'll have this finished quickly enough, at this rate.

[inhearts]

Mmm, we can do it! [ Beaming at him. ] Let's go!

[diedforyoursins]

Onwards, then. [and finally heading on over the bridge, only mildly distracted by the water running underneath it and the way the moon reflected in it. absolutely lovely night, for something made of data or whatever.]

[inhearts]

[ Captivated by the beautiful scenery, Minako starts to hum a small tune she's making up on the spot as they walk. ]

[diedforyoursins]

[it certainly draws kaworu's attention, and he cants his head slightly as he stares at her.]

Do you like music, Minako?

[inhearts]

I do! [ If she had her MP3 player, she'd be wearing it right now, but. ] Do you, Kaworu-kun?

[diedforyoursins]

[he is beaming at her so hard right now, you can practically see the sparkles and flowery background.]

I do! Music is perhaps the greatest achievement of man, communicative and emotive and so full of the life that is so characteristic of the Lilin.

[inhearts]

[ How cute... ]

Is there a genre of music you like best?

[diedforyoursins]

[adorable little destroyer of mankind, right?]

I could hardly call any of it "bad", even if it is not quite to my taste -- and I appreciate most all sorts. But I suppose I am particularly fond of classical music.
