🚨 Emergency Quest 🚨

Going Gorgon

A massive monster has been spotted in the Jungle of Judgement (Summer Segment). It has been feeding on the native fauna and even people! It looks like a giant snake lady with wings. Some have identified it's name to be "Gorgon". We can't have this monster feeding on everything that comes even close to the area of the Jungle its at, so we need people to take care of it! We will pay 2000 Moon Coins for your efforts of somehow solving this problem - may it be destroying the monster or just getting it leave!

OOC: This is a player made quest that won't last for two months. More information on it in this post. To suggest a quest, please leave a comment on the Player Suggestions page.

City Quests

Even in your city... quests! [ Click to Expand ]
Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Blind CookingLocal TV channel is looking for participants for a new type of reality cooking show. In the show one person is blindfolded and the other is giving them instructions. This is very much a trust building exercise for the participants, as well as entertaining for the viewers. Of course, any and all injuries will be healed by a team of specialists on set.Upon entering the set the producers will do a spell that will determine how well the two people know each other. The closer they are the less likely they'll be allowed to work together. The goal is to find people who barely know each other to take a leap of faith in cooking. Of course the spell can be fooled by keeping your thoughts neutral about the other person while it's being cast.500 Moon Coins, a free self made meal
Emotional ArtAmberfall artists have set up giant blank canvases all over the districts (even in Frostreign) with plenty of different painting tools (brushes, spray cans etc). The task is to paint with your positive emotions and make pictures that radiate with positive energy. The tools and canvases are all magical so trying to enforce negative emotions into the paintings will lead to the paint disappearing once it's been on the canvas for a while. These works of art are meant to uplift the spirits of the citizens and just let people have fun with painting.Characters may learn an instant spell for cleaning their clothes from paint (and only paint) while they're participating in this quest or can be provided with overalls. Occasionally the paintings will be changed to a new blank canvas to give people more room to paint, but the "finished" canvases can be found from various places in the city.100 Moon Coins, a watercolor set, watercolor paper
On a Magic Carpet RideThe Research Center is always looking for fun new ways to travel. Now they are looking for people to test out the newest ones. It's a magic carpet meant to be ridden by two people. One of them powers up the carpet by singing (anything goes, even songs thought up on a whim) and the other steers the carpet. The test drivers are asked to complete a course where they need to pick certain items throughout the city and then return back to the Research Center.You are free to come up with simple items (fruit, special tokens, stamps - anything that won't be too heavy to carry) for the course. If the character in charge of singing stops, the carpet will gently float down to the ground (or whatever is beneath it) until singing continues again.700 Moon Coins
Pipe ExpressMysterious turquoise pipes have appeared all around the city. Some natives have entered them out of curiosity and ended up in a completely different place. Turns out they're warp pipes, a new way of fast travel! However, some of the warp pipes have an extra challenge that will take them to either a grassy terrain where you get chased by small dinosaurs that breathe fire or a pool with fish called Toe Nibblers. Some have even found just a room with a bunch of gold coins! Please help us label all of the pipes and where they might lead.Fire Breathing Dinosaurs are the size of a house cat and can look like various different dinosaur species. Toe Nibblers are various fresh water fish that nibble on people's toes and aren't generally very dangerous. There's 1/10 pipe chance to end up in either of the enemy pipes and there's 1/50 chance to drop into a room full of gold coins.300 Moon Coins
Undercovered
CW: Gang Activity
After the opening of the Underground Mall, there has been an increase in criminal activity and shady people, especially in the center district. The police are very understaffed, so we're asking otherworlders to go undercover and infiltrate these crime groups (but only those on the surface). Any information provided is important and will help towards making the city a safe place to be in.You're free to come up with different motivations, reasons and plans the minor crime groups may have and use the local Law Enforcement to bring them down with the help of your character. Some groups will hand out simple flower pins (imagine small, like hair accessories) to characters out of trust towards them.2000 Moon Coins, possible flower pin


Winter Segment

Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Invisible MazeThroughout the Winter Segment, invisible walls have appeared. These walls form a maze and occasionally one finds themselves stuck in an invisible dead-end. They're very hazardous and make traveling in the Segment difficult. We ask that you find whatever is causing this maze to exist.Passing through the maze will lead to finding an invisible Mime Monster (a bipedal, masked ermine creature). Once the characters reach the Mime Monster it will turn visible and attack. All its attacks are invisible but you can predict what they are by participating in a game of pantomime. The Mime Monster doesn't need to be killed if you show it a pantomime it can't solve.400 Moon Coins
Just Around the RiverbendThe rivers and lakes of the Winter Segment are flooding due to giant monstrous Snow Beavers making dams all over the place. These beavers are the size of human teenagers and their coat looks like powder snow. You don't have to kill the beavers, just get rid of their damn dams!Snow Beavers usually travel in groups of four and make dams on any watery surfaces. The dams are strengthened with ice, but shouldn't be too hard to destroy; it's just that there's a lot of them and the Snow Beavers will try to bite anyone who attacks the dams.600 Moon Coins
Snowed OutThe Summer Districts want to make ice and snow sculptures in the city to cool the areas a little bit. To accomplish this, special snow and ice need to be delivered from the Winter Segment. Any snow and ice that glitters like the northern lights under sunlight will be perfect for the task as it won't melt. Bring as much of it back as possible.Sleds and other means of transport are provided for the task. Snowmobiles can be rented to pull sleds easily through the snow.200 Moon Coins
Yet We Must FightA group of Giant Yetis have emerged from the forests of the Winter Segment, looking to destroy anything in their paths. They have weapons made out of wood that they use to hit opponents with. They've been making steady progress towards the City Barrier, attracted by the masses of people inside it. We believe the barrier will hold, but the natives would likely get spooked if they saw them banging on the barrier so chasing them away is important.The Giant Yeti max height is 6 metres / 20 feet. They don't have any other abilities other than their size and their wooden weapons. Killing them is optional, they just need to be chased out. Usually by fire.900 Moon Coins

Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Cats Need Catnip BadlyLocal animal shelters have run out of cat- (and other creature-) nip due to not being able to visit the Creature-Nip Meadow regularly for the past two months (due to a certain quest). Now they want to fill their storage with as much of the herbs as possible.Eating or otherwise ingesting the various herbs in the Meadow may turn people into the creatures they're meant for (cat nip -> cat). At the least they will make the person act like said animal for a few hours.200 Moon Coins
Farming LifeThe Research Center has provided barrier stones. These stones can be used to protect farming plots where you can grow various vegetables and herbs. The barriers don't protect them from normal animals, but they do protect them from various natural disasters and monsters. Place these barrier stones around the various abandoned farming plots and maybe get into farming yourself!The barrier stones only cover plots of 5 x 5 kilometres / 3 x 3 miles. There can be multiple next to each other. Various vegetable and herb seeds are also provided by the quest givers.200 Moon Coins, fresh vegetables/herbs later
Movie InspirationsA movie producer needs references for a fight scene and wants people to defeat local Spring monsters in the flashiest way possible and get it on camera. Camera provided, of course, with enough film for four different takes.Any Spring Segment monsters in particular will do the trick (even slimes). Cameraman safety is not guaranteed during the quest and they may have to tend to themselves.100 Moon Coins per clip
Panda Picking SeasonIt's the time of the year when Giant Pandas tend to feast on the Bamboo Labyrinth in large parties. This is a necessary cycle to keep the labyrinth in good shape. However, the panda babies tend to run off. Please protect them and bring them back to their parents. The grateful mama pandas will give characters golden bamboo shoots they find from the ground as a reward.Golden Bamboo Shoots are a special type of bamboo that will upgrade the Spring Power Holder powers when added to regular food. If a non-spring holder eats it they will just feel a lot lighter for a few days. It also tastes delicious.
Please refrain from taking the baby pandas away from their parents. If you must adopt a panda, adopt the whole family at least!

All These Mummies
CW: Mummies, Skeletons, Mind Control
Areas near the Deserter's Desert have recently seen an increased amount of Mummies. They have certainly appeared from out of nowhere (or from sand, we suppose). They're a menace... but not in a fatal way. Instead they're trying to wrap bandages around people to turn them into them. The bandages do have a 1/50 chance to actually make someone completely act like a mummy (walking in a trance, wrapping bandages around people) that can be canceled by taking the bandages off. They should be dealt with as soon as possible.The mummies are otherwise mostly harmless, but the Research Center would appreciate if someone captured a few of them so they could study them! Actual mummies have skeletons underneath all the bandages but nothing else. If they're stripped off their bandages they will comically cover their genital area and run away.300 Moon Coins
It's Raining ... Fire
CW: Burns
The Summer Segment is a place where it rarely rains outside the Rain Jungle, and when it does rain it can be something other than your regular water. Like fire. Recently observational team has noticed fire raining down from the skies. The source seems to be Wyverns circling in the skies (their scales, when falling, turn into fire). Put out the fires before they spread too far and dodge the unpleasant rain.The Wyverns can be fought, but they're danger level 10 and even killing one is a very, very hard task, especially since they're cloaked in Dark Energy most of the time.400 Moon Coins
Pirates of the Great LakeMysterious ships have made an appearance on the Great Ocean Lake: ghost ships and pirate octopi ships. They're disturbing all life on the lake, throwing explosive and other things into it. The Research Center has provided ships that can be taken to the waters and some pirate outfits to fit the theme (optional). Destroy the enemy ships and restore peace to the lake!Ghost Ships are ships that don't seem to have any members onboard (or they can only be seen by the Winter holders). Pirate Octopi are octopi with eyepatches (and some even have mechanical tentacles in place of normal ones). The ships rarely fight each other but they don't consider each other allies either.700 Moon Coins
High Risk Quest❗
La Va Land
CW: Burns
New creatures are emerging from the Lava-Ridden Land. Monsters made completely out of lava and rocks and are slowly making their way towards the segment and burning their way through everything. They're especially headed for the airship station, though we are unsure if they'll be able to cross the Forever Fall, but we don't want to risk them actually passing through it. Defeat them, however it takes or chase them back beyond the barrier.Lava Monsters are extremely dangerous and will burn anything they touch. They're closely shaped like slime and other blobs, making hard to tear apart as they will just reform themselves. Their weak point is the lava core, lodged deep inside their bodies. Breaking the core means the lava creature will dissolve.8000 Moon Coins


Autumn Segment

Maple scented Quests [ Click to Expand ]
Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Leaf Me AloneMajority of the autumn leaves have turned magical and have started to cause people to fall into a state of sleep whenever they hit someone. Luckily, most people have fallen asleep on the safe zones, but there are those who did not. Be careful not to get hit by the leaves and try to get rid of them instead, all while saving the people sleeping in wrong places. As long as a leaf remains on someone they will either sleep or feel very drowsy and the more leaves they have on them the more potent the effect is.The effect is less effective through clothes, but will still make one feel sleepy/yawn a lot. With enough layers of clothes the characters will be able to collect the leaves for extra potent sleeping potions. However it's not recommended to eat the leaves as they are, as it might lead to a comatose state instead.300 Moon Coins
Migrating FoesOver the course of several weeks, some (Spring) slime and (Winter) Gem Biters have made their way to the Autumn Segment and are now eating special mushrooms near the Mushroom Sanctuary (but not inside it). These mushrooms grow them in size and now we're dealing with human-sized foes. Slime are still relatively harmless, though now they can cover someone in their slime drool, but Gem Biter bites may actually be dangerous. Fight these creatures and either destroy them or bring them back to their original habitats (the effects of the mushroom will fade with time).Eating a mushroom will make someone grow triple their current size (clothes will transform with them). The effect will fade in a day. Used in potions this mushroom will help with plant growth.400 Moon Coins
Silent StreamsIn the woods, near the Silent Mountains, people will find they lose their voices. In fact, all the sounds disappear. However, it's also the place where you can find one of the purest of water sources, needed for a special potion. The quest is simple: obtain the spring water and bring it back, but be careful of the dangers you cannot hear.While the area around the spring is relatively safe, sometimes Spirit Animals wander around, attracted by the emotions of those in the area. They will only attack if there are too many different emotions in the area at the same time. There are also actual bears and wolves wandering the woods, but they rarely come too close to the Silent Zone.100 Moon Coins per water container
High Risk Quest
Rest in Pieces
CW: murder, drowning
Lately people have died or gone missing near the Abandoned Graveyard. A new type of Kelpie specie has emerged from the Flooded Woods: the Ghoul Kelpie (or Ghoulpie). It can't enter the protected area, but it will haunt people right outside of to either immediately feast on them or take them with them back to the woods to drown them. They're extremely aggressive and attack anyone on sight. They need to dealt with as soon as possible to bring peace back to the area.Ghoul Kelpies have a sticky fur that anything sticks to. Their teeth are sharp and venomous and their mane turns into vines that poison or stun their opponents. Their weakness is that the more dry they get, the more vulnerable they are to attacks so they occasionally need to retreat back to water.8000 Moon Coins

Sex on AirA new airship is looking for workers for their opening months. The airship cruise that circles around the districts and segments is meant for pleasure and pleasure only. Employees will dress up in sexy lingerie and serve customers drinks, food and entertainment. It's much like a sexy host club on air. There is also a chance of trying their new spell: actually having sex while floating in the air. Just make sure not to fall behind the airship or you may be in trouble.Of course anyone is allowed to just be a customer of the airship - or why not both, with occasionally doing work and occasionally being served. The Airship leaves evening second evening from the Nightwake Central station and returns after two days. Think of it as a luxurious cruise.900 Moon Coins per cruise
Shibari LessonsDue to the last month's Freezing Heart incident, local sex shops have opened up workshops around the Underground Mall. They are teaching characters magical shibari. Every knot tied around someone will represent an emotional or physical block they have. Once all knots are in place a spell is cast on them that will relieve them of their burdens for some time (depends on the person, how fast they will grow these burdens back in their minds/bodies). May also cause arousal to doing this with a partner you know and trust might be a good idea.The spell doesn't completely erase the burdens, it's merely meant to bring temporary relief and pleasure. The spell is a customized for every person, but it has to include the words "release you from your burdens", but otherwise it can be worded however the one doing the spell wants (for ex. "With my love and care towards you, I release you from your burdens"). The spell has to be one full sentence, but it can't just be "I release you from your burdens".Shibari Spell, Shibari Rope

Pipe Express - OTA

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-12 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Setting up a few signs should have been easy. Long, but easy. Go down a big pipe, nothing new for him, nail a sign to one side – done. He was expecting the odd large rat or two but should have been a simple job. Should have been. ]

Outta the way!

[ Now he’s screaming for anyone and everyone to move as a herd of giant lizards breathing fire chase him. Some are hurt and angry, the cause of their irritation is currently being chased while holding a slightly bent pipe. He was also still taking swings as he ran, just to deter them from trying to close the gap. Assistance would be appreciated. A gun also works. ]

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata has no gun, but he has something better: His summer powers (and, crucially, more experience at using them than Noah has).]

Coming!!

[He rushes in, turning the dinosaurs' fire green and cool before even reaching them or Noah. With that taken care of, he simply starts kicking and smacking them (using his sheathed longsword for the latter). They're so damn small, cutting them all down would feel like overkill... and indeed, some of them start running off in the face of the beating, letting out dismal little screams.]
localdeliveryboy: (angry)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-13 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Noah keeps running, unfortunately, its into another pipe - one that's not labeled either. While Hijikata is dealing with the ones outside, Noah comes running back with a new herd of these things hot on his heel. ]

Fuckin' hell!

[ He stops and turns as he meets up with Hijikata, swinging the pipe as the dinosaurs come at him and kicking any that do get too close. ]
mayoninofukucho: (Excuse me?!)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-14 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh shit-- he quickly takes care of the new dinosaurs' fire, too. Now they're all breathing green flames that just feel like a light air flow if they do end up touching someone.]

Stop bringing more!!

[Granted, Noah has stopped! Both of them keep beating up the horde of reptilian critters until the last ones scurry back into either pipe.]

Seriously..! This is bullshit!

[There being fire-breathing dinosaurs in the first place, he means. Who the hell is responsible for these shenanigans?!]
localdeliveryboy: (shock)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-16 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Tell them to stop following!

[ He's not quite back to back, but there's enough space for them to do their own thing without getting in each others way. There is a clear problem though that there seems to be twice as many dinosaurs coming at Noah, or rather, it doesn't feel like their number is lessening even with all the effort being done. ]

Uhhh - I have a problem! Many of them!
mayoninofukucho: (I didn't want to hear that.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-16 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
What a pain in the ass..!

[Okay, the dinosaurs asked for it! Hijikata lifts them all up with his much-practised telekinesis ability, only to slam them back down on the ground. Hopefully that hurt enough for them to sod off already!

Problem: He may or may not have done the same to Noah. Sorry, Noah, it's kind of hard to single you out to stay put when there's a whole crowd of little bodies to be lifted!]
localdeliveryboy: (tired)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-19 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
You're a - WOAH!

[ And now he's floating. He doesn't like that, not one bit. Noah liked it even less when the ground came closer at alarming speed, or rather he approached the ground at alarming speed.

He yelped as he came crashing down right on his back, nearly bouncing from the impact and now rolling on the ground like the rest of the dinos. ]


Oh! Bloody hell!
mayoninofukucho: (Let me think.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-19 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... sorry.

[Hijikata walks over to him (practically wading through pitifully whining dinosaurs) and offers a hand.]

Couldn't unselect you from that. Are you hurt?
localdeliveryboy: (confused)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-20 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I'm bloody hurt! Oww, me back!

[ He rolls and groans on the floor but takes his hand anyway despite all the upset in his head and the ache in his back. ]

Lets get out of here first before these things start getting up.

[ He, gigerly, starts to hop then run down the tunnel he knows is safe and keeps going a good distance until signs of his handiwork in setting up signs start to show. This leads to more "big fire breathing lizards", another leads to a pantry as far as he could tell, and one he labeled "pool of swimming things". This is where he paused to catch his breath and tap the knots in his back. ]

Right...that was a pain in arse and a half.
mayoninofukucho: (It's always something.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-21 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He feels bad hearing Noah's groans. Maybe he should have considered that not everyone around these parts is some sort of superpowered entity... but at least he can still run (more or less)!]

You can say that again. Should I bring you to a clinic? They can heal you right up there.

[Healing magic is seriously so great! Instead of having to cumbersomely wait for bruises, sprains, and worse to heal as nature intended, they're gone within moments! But while they're still catching their breath, Hijikata takes notice of the signs already pointing out where these other pipes lead.]

Did you put these up? You've been at it for a while, huh?
localdeliveryboy: (tired)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-21 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh, yeah. Simple manual labor. Things I do best.

[ He finally stands upright, still catching his breath but doing better. ]

Or at least, should have been simple. Probably should have bought a gun than a pipe. You reckon it's too late to negotiate a price?
mayoninofukucho: (Yeah yeah.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-21 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Just call it a day. You've labeled multiple pipes already, that should make you eligible for the reward. They can't expect one person to take care of all of them, what with the damn critters.

[Is he telling Noah to be a quitter? It sure seems that way!]

Or else let's team up, but stay behind me so you don't get caught in a swarm again.
localdeliveryboy: (idle2)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-22 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
And miss out on finding all that cash? Not on your life. Besides I still have five hours on the clock.

[ Is he treating this as a nine to five? Yes, yes he is. ]

Right, you take the van then. I'll bring up the rear. We are going to have to go back to where them horrible little beasties are, I haven't marked them.

[ Ooc : is this hijikata before or after gorgon's rampage? ]
mayoninofukucho: (Smoke)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-23 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Now this is a work ethic! Still, Noah, take it easy; you did just get slammed on the ground by a cop!]

So you're after the gold room..? Don't you think that's just a rumour they made up as incentive?

[He gets moving back to where they came from regardless of those reservations, rummaging through his pockets in hopes of still having a healing charm somewhere to alleviate Noah's back pain (he doesn't sadly, and he doesn't have any healing abilities himself). They encounter some battered dionsaurs but, recognising him, they scutter away hurriedly.

(OOC: Afterwards! He's distracting himself with city quests right now.)]
localdeliveryboy: (thinking)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-24 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Won't know 'til I go a lookin'. Gods know I need the capital.

[ A stable job here is something that's still escaping him.

Noah follows quietly, nursing his back for a time but eventually was walking tall and with ease. ]


Wait a moment.

[ Noah clambers up the side of a pipe, notcing that of the signs had tipped. ]

Ahh! Sod it. It's barely legible now. One of them damn things must have torched it. Give me a moment, I'll have it fixed in a jiffy.
mayoninofukucho: (Smoke Break)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-24 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata waits - he does wonder if he should help, but Noah seems to have it in hand.]

You're used to this sort of work, huh?

[He still remembers that glimpse he got of Noah's homeworld back on Avalon, how the boy would harvest those strange origin stones from defeated fog monsters... well, that was presumably only something that happened if and when an encounter did occur. Overall he sure seems like an odd jobs guy.]

What do you want to do with all the gold if you find it? Open your own business?
Edited 2023-08-24 17:50 (UTC)
localdeliveryboy: (idle2)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-25 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
A business? That's an idea, but no. I need money because I need money. Food, shelter, clothing, and weapons. Mostly weapons since it's starting to look like I'd need them.

[ A beat. ]

Maybe some girls on the side too, as soon as I find out how safe it all is and that.

[ He works without complaint, replacing the sign with one that's more legible but not before pondering if he should make it higher or not. He ends up settling to keep it in place. ]
mayoninofukucho: (Thanks for that.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-25 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata is about to concede that that's fair enough - they've all got to make a living somehow, he simply assumed that Noah was still new enough an arrival to get a government allotment (but then he is the type who'd want to get himself financially independent as soon as possible, isn't he) -, however his remark about the girls makes him snort.]

Several girls? I didn't take you for the type. But that'll get expensive alright.

[Not that he'd know... his closest means of comparison is Ozymandias with his harem, and the pharaoh certainly loves to spoil his concubines. Still, what did Noah mean about not knowing how safe it is?]
localdeliveryboy: (idle3)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-27 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well not all at the same time, mind you. I'm not that lucky.

[ Not he hasn't tried in the past. ]

There. That should about do it.

[ He takes a step back to admire the simple repairs he's done. ]

Alright, let's crack on. I still have a few signs to put up before I heads back.
mayoninofukucho: (Idle)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-27 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata nods - the new sign looks good! - and resumes walking, scaring a few more dinosaurs off by drawing his sword. He can't quite move on from the girl topic yet, though. His luck with women has been pretty mixed, so he's not sure if he's missing something here, but--]

Why're you assuming right away that it won't work out with the same girl in the long run?
localdeliveryboy: (idle/doubting)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-08-28 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ At the question, Noah looks at Hijikata like he's crazy or just did something stupid. ]

Because we're from different worlds??? And I don't want to get attached to anyone I will obviously be seperated from???? Just sounds like a bitch of a memory to live with. Hopefully when we go back, they take my memories away of this place away. All of them.

[ He's not sure how loaded or offensive a statement that really is, or if he even realizes it is, but it seems to be his honest feelings on the matter. ]
Edited 2023-08-28 07:32 (UTC)
mayoninofukucho: (Well-Rested for Once)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-08-28 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata doesn't take offence, he's just mildly surprised at Noah's vehemence.]

I met a woman two worlds ago, and I still go back to see her.

[As you do!! Granted, she stayed on the world that had called them in, and those who opted to go home were given a means to return, and Hijikata won't miss out on any time back home no matter how long he visits. His year has 15+ months now, pretty much. It sure isn't a sustainable (or attainable) lifestyle model for everyone!]

Here's hoping they'll give us a choice when we're done here - I'd like to keep my memories, but it'd suck if you were saddled with yours if you don't want them.

[He'd actually be pissed if his memories of Ellipsa were simply deleted! Or, well... he wouldn't be, because he wouldn't be aware of having lost them, but, you know! Regardless, he seems ready to fully focus on the signs now.]

Would this be a good place for the next one? Or should we set both of them up a bit further ahead, at the mid-point of both pipes?

[They're both dinosaur-infested, so maybe they can just use one sign with two arrows pointing left and right!]

Well...even so, answer is a no.

[ And he leaves it at that. He has another reason, one he's clearly not intending to share given how closed his answer is.

He takes a step back to look at the situation with the pipes, picturing the placement of the signs and wondering about their effectiveness He also looks back at the path they came from and where it goes. ]


Uhhhmmmm, not sure if using two would be the wisest thing.

....

Got it! Since both these ones here end with them beasties, right? Best thing to do is to set up a sign - [ He turns pointing at the junction right before turning into the one they are in. ] - back there so that no one comes wondering down here. Only problem is...well, I'd be better to set it up like a barrier of sorts, but I haven't got any rope or the like at the moment. I'd have to figure out a way to make it seen easily. Might end up making a lot of noise and attract some of them creatures out.

[ He chews on his lip as he ponders the dilemma. He'd rather not have to deal with the dinos a second time, but also not go back and get rope. ]

I've got police tape.

[Why the hell is he carrying that around in his civilian bag? But whatever the reason, he procures a roll of black-and-yellow tape with 'Police Line - Do Not Cross' written all over it.]

You set up the sign, and I tape the pipe entrance, okay?
localdeliveryboy: (shock)

[personal profile] localdeliveryboy 2023-09-02 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah that'll do it. Che-

[ Before he could finish there's a chirp or screech from the end of the pipe and a single dinosaur started to wander out of the tunnel.

Noah raised his pipe slowly watching the creature who slowly sniffed around, wandered around a bit, hissed at him and Hijikata, then went back into its home. ]


....Maybe....I put the sign next to the police tape instead of...down there.

[ He'll do it regardless of what he says because there's no way he's going back there without a gun. ]
