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. ]

[Especially for the beer, which she happily accepted before taking a seat beside him. The tab was popped open, and she took a healthy swig. Not the most pleasant taste, but one she had enough experience with to wash down with little effort, even letting out a soft sigh of contentment when she lowered it.]
no subject
Well, I caught the first one just as you appeared, so I wouldn't be that quick to dismiss the "lady luck" part. [ He pulls a bait and jams it onto the impromptu hook methodically. No mercy for the worms. With a wide swing, he throws the line as far as he can and the waiting game begins again ]
no subject
[Seeming self-depreciation aside, Mai was at ease enough to smile as she sat back and watched Caster bait his hook. Idly sipping at her drink all the while.]
I'm not sure I can remember the last time I went fishing. There was never any time.
[And being out in the open like that was far too dangerous.]
no subject
[ Ayakashi may be a menace, but not enough of one to always constantly be on edge. But the truth is that he remembered about the fishing only when the fish started to splash and laugh at people ]
Wanna try? [ The bait had just been cast, it's too early to attract much attention so he can hand a rod to Mai ] I could make you one if you want!
no subject
Oh, no, you don’t have to go to the trouble. But I wouldn’t mind giving it a try.
If I remember right, I hold it still until I get a bite then slowly reel it in?
no subject
Probably explains why his catch isn't very impressive, but he's absolutely not minding that part. ]
Just pull it carefully when you get the bite- I'll handle grabbing at the line when it's here.
[ So cooperative fishing instead of competitive one ]
no subject
I-I see.
[That's what she gets for not being more observant before speaking.]
I'll be careful. But if you're pulling the line in for me, should I grab the fish when it's pulled out of the water?
no subject
Sure, sure. But if you don't want to I can handle that too. [ He looks around and finds a small bucket, he goes to the water to collect water into it ]
I set them loose- [ Because it's just for fun, hence catch and release ] -but if you want, you can take your catch home.
no subject
If I do, I think I just might.
They're perfect for roasting over an open fire. And just in case we have any guests over--[Particularly young, Saiyan guests whom she had extended an open invitation to some time back with the promise of food.]--there'll for dinner.
no subject
[ Or too decorative and talkative to eat. ]
I want to find a good fishing spot somewhere open for the sea. [ So on the Near Shore ] Bigger fish usually reside there.
no subject
[At least, it looked like the sea. In truth, she hadn’t had reason to venture down the cliffside yet.]
You’re welcome to come fish there, if you like. Although I might not be able to guarantee peace and quiet all the time.
no subject
Wonder if you can sail to a different otherworld from there. [ He snickers at a silly thought of visiting different "Heavens" by the sea, but his tone is quite thoughtful ]
no subject
I have no idea.
It sounds like something worth trying. Eventually.
no subject
[ Basically a whole quest line. Talk with people, gather resources, do stuff, get a ship. ]
The sail would be the easier one to make, I suppose. [ Tailoring skills are probably more common than shipbuilding ]
no subject
...it's a shame a friend of mine from beyond isn't here with us. She'd not only be able to design and build us a boat, but hers would be the most advanced boat you'd ever seen.
[
And what a coincidence that Bulma happens to show up at a later time.]no subject
How incredibly convenient indeed!]That would be amazing, but I'm sure we can succeed without the advantage of having such genius on our side. [ He laughs, those plans are really silly true, and kind of crazy too.
Which is why it's so good. ]
It's the sea sickness we have to be afraid of!
no subject
Maybe you have to.
I don't get seasick.
no subject
Oh damn, my secret is out. What should I do? [ He laughs- he does remember his training on the island of Skye fondly, but traveling there? ...not so much ]
no subject
Well....there's really only two answers here. Either you train your body to get used to the sea...or else you put wheels on your boat and drive it across the land instead.
no subject
Wish me luck.
no subject
Good luck!
