just fishin' [open]
Who: Caster and you
When: September 3rd - 6th
Where: Rivers, lakes and ponds of the Far Shore
What: fishing, troubles, also dogs
[ Do you remember those fishes splashing people and laughing? Caster does, and as he finally finished crafting his weapon - a grand, hand-made fishing rod. Then proceed to get a can of bait and a can of beer for good measure, and there he goes to find the revenge. ]
1. I luv my fishes cuz they are delicious - 3rd to 5th September
[ When he's fishing in the river near his temple, two big white dogs accompany him. One is sleeping and providing a fluffy back-rest to lean on. The other is a bit too hyper, chasing some insects or mice and greeting anyone approaching too close with a happy bark, and a tail wag.
Though he is alone when fishing not near his property but at various ponds, lakes, and rivers found on the Far Shore - did he just trespass at your place? oops!
Incidentally, you might come at him carefully unhooking a koi and... talking to it, apparently ]
Huh, now you're just a normal fish? Who's laughing now?!
[ The fish flops in his grip terrified. It's a pitiful sight, and it's not like he's going to get a reply out of it ]
Eh, you're too small for even get a bite.
[ And surprisingly gently he lets it back to the water. With an abundance of food, any fishing is going to be catch-and-release. ]
That will teach you a lesson! [ Yeah, go, tell those fishes where is their place... yeah ]
2. It's kappastic! - 6th September
[ Several days and several terrified kois later, he's really having a good day. Sitting on a bridge in silence. He just knows it. This will be the day of that epic catch, the majestic fishing experience! It's possibly the most uninteresting hobby under the sun, but if he could spend time on it regularly, he would.
Fresh air, picturesque landscapes of the Heavens, and nice warm weather, what to want more? Suddenly there's bite on the line - just like he expected! - and... the rod gets fully yanked out of his hands. ]
Wooa--!!
[ Certainly, not as expected. There's no way of saving it, the rod disappears far into the water being pulled by a massive catch-- What would be that massive catch turns to be something else. A kappa surfaces and holds the fishing rod for a few tense seconds. It maintains the eye contact with the fisher and slowly, so very slowly... breaks the rod piece by piece. ]
...oh, now it's personal..! [ Caster obviously takes it as an offense. He drops his cape - bracers and generally all unnecessary stuff that might limit his movement and leaps into the lake from the bridge, possibly water splashing an innocent bystander. The kappa is going to pay
That might not be the best idea ]
3. Peace offering - 6th September
[ Later and somewhere else most likely the strangest sight might be seen. Few lake brawls later, both Caster and the kappa seem to no longer be set on killing each other. The bruises and scratches are more visible on Caster, but anyone familiar with kappas - is there anyone like that there? - might notice that his opponent is in similarly poor shape.
The peace offering for the destroyed fishing rod is pretty simple - it's a pack of cigarettes. All is forgiven, they say - or rather, wave - their goodbyes, and Caster sits on a rock to enjoy what is going to be his first smoke in the Far Shore. Only to fail in lighting the cig up with small ansuz rune.
Obviously, it's sogging wet, kappas live underwater. ]
You cheating bastard!! [ He yells in the kappa direction, who is almost in the middle of the lake. Kappa just cackles, shows an obscene gesture and dives underwater. ]
Ugh, think these will work after drying?
4. Obligatory wildcard, [ Have something else in mind? Leave a comment and I'll write you a starter! Also feel free to play with and modify any of the above. ]

I never wrestled with a shark though. And I heard they make for a good soup, so it's like two birds with one stone. [ If he's joking he's covering it perfectly. On the other hand there is a possibility he's being totally serious. Who wouldn't want to punch a shark at least one time in their lifetime? ]
Oh, I saw them too! [ He takes the offered flyer scanning it quickly for the location of the trucks on each given day ] It's a kind of cold dessert, good for this weather. Wanna go there and try?
[ He might need to get quick jump to the temple for a change of clothes ]
no subject
[Why does she always end up liking the reckless ones... But she blinks a bit upon getting an answer about the flyer, like she hadn't expected the offer to go check it out a moment later. Her instinct is to say no, it's frivolous and unnecessary, but then... what else is she really doing right now?
Not having a concrete goal in mind is very unnerving, but she may as well be distracted from that fact for a little while.]
Hmm... all right. It would be good to explore that side a bit more, regardless. [She makes an excuse for herself anyway.] Though I do not believe they will be terribly impressed by the state of your garb.
[A gentle jab, as if she's really one to talk. They're both disasters to modern Tokyo...]
no subject
It's not like they would pay attention to us, we could be dressed as unicorns for all I know. [ Though if they were in full body unicorn costume like that mascots in amusement park they would suddenly be more noticeable. ] But I understand what you mean-
[ Accompanying anyone for ice-cream in his poor state is an insult to good manners ]
Say what, we can meet on the Near Shore in... fifteen minutes? [ That's probably enough to get himself back in shape. ] I need to make a quick jump to my Temple.
The meeting spot would be- [ He points at one of the addresses on the flyer, helpfully not only accompanied by a small map but also a photo of a park. Looks like there are few certain locations when you find those trucks everyday. ] -near that fountain.
no subject
[It's so strange; she's spent so much time slinking around the shadows, that going unnoticed unintentionally seems bizarre and nearly impossible. Yet, here they are.
She studies the tiny map near the address he points to carefully, and nods. A park with a fountain shouldn't be too hard to get to, even if she's finding the warping power provided to gods to be a trial and error process.]
All right, that sounds fair. ... I shall see you then?
no subject
Now, fifteen times is a limit to transform from that wet-dog into something presentable. And since they're heading for the Near Shore anyway he can try and jump into those modern clothes.
Fortunately no aloha shirt...yetAlso quickly applying a healing rune on the most visible bruises and scratches, and he warps into the park right before set time.He locates the target - the ice-cream truck nearby - and waits for the ally to appear. ]
no subject
Zelda is still rather lacking when it comes to garb that fits in with the people of the Near Shore, but she at least makes something of an attempt, removing most of her ornamental regalia for a simpler look. ... She's still pretty much wearing an evening gown to a park, but she made an attempt.]
Aaah!
[... She also appears about ten feet in the air. Maybe she shouldn't have focused so hard on the top-down map shown on the flyer and given a bit of consideration to making sure her feet would be on the ground when she warped.
Catch her, Caster?]
no subject
There's just a split second between hearing her scream and catching her so she won't crash painfully at the ground- but fortunately, Caster wouldn't be a mythological hero if he lacked reflexes. She lands safely in his arms, and a catastrophe is averted ]
That was an intense entrance! [ Opposite of a boring one, that's for sure! ]
no subject
At least the other park-goers don't seem to care. Thanks, godly aura of misdirection. Her pride appreciates that.]
I am... still growing accustomed to this form of teleportation...
no subject
[ There's some gallantry in him, honest, so he won't say anything to fluster her even further. It's good to know the limits, see. Instead, he walks few steps further, just enough so they're not in the way of any random strolling person, too lost in thought to instinctively move past them.
Those are a few seconds more to admire the flush- And then he puts her down - or rather sits her down on the edge of the large fountain as if nothing happened. ]
I've already located our target- [ he points in the general direction of the truck with a tilt of his head ] -but there seems to be a long line.
[ Maybe they could just cut it short? ]
no subject
Well. Okay. She guesses that's fine then. She peers past him to see the brightly colored truck and the long line leading up to it.]
Hmm. That is unfortunate. [And it sounds like she'd be willing to wait or just write off this adventure completely, but then she notices a certain glint in his eye...] ... Did you have an idea?
no subject
People don't really notice us unless we make them, right? [ Existing in the blind-spots and all that. ] Convenient when you fall from the sky and don't want an audience. Or when you don't want to wait in line.
[ They're gods, gods have privileges coming with their position, that's obvious. ]
Just tell me which flavours tempt you the most, it's my treat.
no subject
That is so rude! [But she's laughing a bit, despite her protests. A Good and Proper Princess would probably not go along with such a gross misuse of their god-power, buuuut...] Though I suppose they would likely forget about it shortly after our departure...
[She's quiet a moment longer, contemplating, before--]
... The "Cherry Jubilee" sounds interesting, I suppose.
[What a terrible influence you are, Caster.]
no subject
And now he's casually cutting the line right after the person currently buying the ice-creams. Everyone makes space for him but doesn't notice otherwise. Perfect. He makes the order, waits for it and--
some confusion happens, because his order is served to the next person in line. They of course protest it's not theirs, and Caster has to clear the mess by reminding he's still there and existing.
Turns out even cutting the line produces problems. ]
Here you go, one "Cherry Jubilee" [ he hands Zelda an impressive portion while holding his own pick in other hand ] Let's see if those ice-cream are worth the fame they get.
no subject
Or maybe it's just Caster's own buoyant attitude rubbing off on her, making her feel lighter and more carefree than she has in nearly a decade.
Regardless, she's giggling a bit by the time he returns, though she has the decency to hide it behind her hand when its clear his attention is on her.]
What a smooth performance. [But then he's handing her the dessert and jesus hylian christ it's huge--] M-my goodness! I should hope so, if it is intended for one to eat this much in one sitting...
[zelda you're a royal you should be used to feasting-- oh well.]
no subject
I imagine so, it's going to melt soon in this sun. [ So they can't really pack it up and keep for later, unless they want to drink it. ]
"Pistachio dance", that's how mine is called. [ And it contains, as the name suggests pistachio ice-cream. And chocolate ice-cream too. He's a bit suspicious over the whole craze, but curiosity takes the best of him. Desserts perfect for this whole hot weather sounds like a blessing. Maybe they'll beat the canned cold drinks, who knows
And so he's the one to take the first bite, make a sound at how cold it really is immediately followed up by a bright smile. ] Aaah, delicious! How's yours?
no subject
It is... green.
[Iced or not, cream is not meant to be green, she's pretty sure. And she watches him take that first scoop, mildly concerned about the possibility of him getting sick - a concern that only intensifies at that alarmed little noise he makes - but... he's okay? Even happy about it? Not that it really takes much to make Caster happy, but--]
Um. [She glances down to her own cup, bright red with bits fruit seemingly sprinkled in. Well. She can't very well back out now, so she pops a spoonful into her mouth and--] Mmm, it is-- tart, but sweet at the same time... ah!
[Suddenly she's grabbing her head and clenching her eyes shut as brainfreeze seeps in.]
Nngh, hurts...
no subject
And he's happily focused on his own ice-cream, at least until the brain freeze happens ]
Eh? What's going on? Your teeth hurt?
[ That's a thing he did notice with cold drinks ]
Slowing down helps. I could get something warmer to drink too.
