[ditherer]

u been spotted by.........the $ MONEY GOO$E $
send the $ MONEY GOO$E $ to 3 people or u get scorched

[osteotome]

I don't know enough people to send that to.

It's cute though. Are those snakes with the goose?

[ditherer]

Sent it to random people?

And I have no idea what those are supposed to be.

[osteotome]

I've been burned before. I'll just jump into the water outside.

Or I can cut the goose and we can have it to eat, then it can't scorch anyone. My comrade says this place can have interesting threats.

[ditherer]

The water here seems to be odd. I wouldn't recommend it.

Would it taste all that good? I hope the goose has colour in that case.

Are you home?

[osteotome]

Yeah, why?

[tosa]

I'm coming over ヾ(｡･ω･｡)

You're in Bluo? Wait for me or something so I can find you!

(Because he... doesn't know exactly where Honebami is, oops. Also look at Mutsu using his kaomoji.)

[osteotome]

[ see, that kaomoji makes a lot more sense than the fire-breathing goose. also mutsu plz... ]

I can wait outside for you.

[tosa]

Good!

( And give him a few minutes. It really doesn't take him long to show up because Mutsu is fast like that but as soon as he sees Honebami-- )

Honebami! ( Who needs greetings when you can just aggressively yell someone*s name, ) I got something for ya.

( A PRESENT FROM MUTSU. )

action! early august

[ the flower crown quest is one she feels comfortable with. as a child she learned it from her mother, and as a lady it was a skill she refined through her maids. she lost interest in it after more pressing matters came to the forefront, but doing it all over again has a nostalgic feel to it.

so she's going around some parts of the residential homes, knocking on doors, trying to see if anyone might be interested in learning. she suspects it isn't a common skill when so many people come from different time periods and cultures, so it's a good idea to reach out. ]

Hello? Anyone home?

[osteotome]

[ Reaching out for something like that... that's endearing, really! The flower crown quest has proven to be a bit deceptive in its actual difficulty, so Zelda is doing good. ]

Oh, hello.

[ Since she's stopping sort of door to door, the good news here is Honebami isn't unfriendly or intimidating. He looks like a young teenager, curious at what she's doing at the door ]

Do you... need something?

[withwisdom]

[ she takes a step back when the door opens, relieved someone is in. she doesn't recognize him, but that's more than ok. even better really - it's a good idea to know as many faces as possible in this small area. she smiles at him and takes in a breath for her pitch. ]

Good day to you. My name is Zelda, a Bluo resident. I'm coming around today to see if anyone needs help with the flower crown quest - specifically with learning how to make them. Do you feel you may need any assistance?

[ completing as many quests is important, even if recent events have made her a little more soured toward them. still, she must keep her spirits high. ]

[osteotome]

[ Help with flower crowns... He isn't very good himself, regretting he was never as interested in the idyllic little activity like his brothers. They made him some, but he never took them apart or something rude like that. ]

I would.

[ He runs back into his house, returning with a basket of neatly cut flowers. He was going to practice privately instead of at the gardens, but it would be better to use them now. This young woman knows what she's doing, maybe she'd like some. ]

Do you require compensation for your services?

[withwisdom]

[ compensation - no, not at all, but... ]

The only thing I would like before I go is to see you complete a flower crown without my assistance. I think that should be fair compensation.

[ she doesn't need for anything, but making sure he actually knows what to do when she's not around is important. ]

action, faerie quest!!

[osuni]

[WHAT IS HONEBAMI DOING

wherever he is, whether at home or outside, Okuni sidles into view (or into private property) with her big hair and chirpy voice...]

Bami-chan! Let's do a quest together!

[LET'S DESTROY SOME FAERIES]

[osteotome]

[ HELLO OKUNI. Whatever Honebami was doing probably isn't too relevant, but maybe he's a little less... cute about her sudden appearance? It's hard to describe, but maybe he sounds just a bit more deadpan, ]

...Okay. A fighting one, right?

[ Just to take the "ruin someone's day" suggestion out of the choices, because no. Also it drop them down to two, and he's okay with those. ]

[osuni]

[HMMM WHAT’S THIS.... UNENTHUSIASM OKUNI IS SENSING

It takes more than that to dissuade her from trying to pester Honebami though, even if her head is tilting to the side like an intrigued parrot. She quickly calculates the amount of possible sins she might have committed against Honebami, but honestly she's done so many stupid things this week so far that she can't recall the truly most important thing she's done wrong... It's difficult when you're bad.]

That's right. I immediately thought of you when I read the quest about fighting faeries. Don't you think it's time they get a taste of their own medicine?

[osteotome]

[ Well he won't say no to her pestering because he can't really hate her for the thing that apparently makes him just a bit less warm. Heck, he's already getting his sword and securing the scabbard snugly. ]

I would be satisfied with that.

[ He's actually be pretty happy, really. But he's still unenthused. Also, a pause. ]

I wonder if they've gotten that bad that it's a quest now.

[osuni]

[This is strange. Normally, Okuni never thinks back on her wrongdoings because she's used to people frowning at the sight of her, but it bothers her more than she'll admit to see Honebami look unenthused... (maybe it's because deep in Okuni's kokoro she likes bami-chan...) but he also at least seems pleased at the idea of faerie fighting!]

Perhaps? Or maybe they're tired of watching us fight each other and want to get in on the action themselves? I haven't been here for very long, but I still can't say I understand any of these quests.

[A little while after reading this thread on the forum-]

Honebami Toushirou-dono, did you indeed meet with the vampire Crowley?
I am curious as to whether he was able to tell your blood type. [Because they're tsukumogami and all.

...

And he's also worried, lbr.]

[osteotome]

Yes, I met him. I was curious, since I met him before while making flower crowns.

[ Comment on his blood type will come soon. Just... It's Honebami and he already worried Mutsunokami. His curiosity and general ability to go along with things may be a bit concerning. ]

[youwillbeunequaled]

[Just a bit concerning.]

I see.
I can understand being curious, as he is something we have not encountered before, but I hope that he did nothing untoward to you.
That is, did you really let him taste your blood?

[osteotome]

I did. We don't know our blood types and h was a quick way to figure it out.

I'm fine now, Tonbokiri-san. Being untoward to me would be more of a hassle for someone like him.

[ He did say the worst thing that could happen was Honebami stabbing him (and wrecking his shirt...), and that isn't completely unlikely. ]

[youwillbeunequaled]

[That's... kinda... What's done is done.]

Apparently knowing one's blood type is not necessary, but I hope that the knowledge will be useful to you sometime.

Fine now? Was there some incident?
Yet I have no doubt you would be able to soundly deal with him if he were untoward.

So long as you are all right, that is what is important.
But given how unusual this situation is and how many foreign types of people there are, do remain vigilant.
You are an essential comrade.
