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. ]

Interesting choice of weapon.
[If it wasn't for the chainsaw his first thought would be of Berserker.]
no subject
Speaking of parfait, he did use this talk as a distraction to steal a larger portion of it, focusing on the fruit slices again. ]
But that's all on the local bloodshed front. [ Gossips, gossips ] Let's get back to that date thing.
no subject
Looks like your diversion tactics worked well.
[He's joking. Besides, they wouldn't be Servants if murderous gossip wasn't their thing.]
no subject
[ Opportunist, pragmatist, etc. You lowered your guard, now you have less dessert to eat. Entirely your fault for buying this parfait4two<3.
Too bad this is really good dessert, and it's almost finished now. Caster graciously will leave what is left of it alone and gets back to his coffee, casting a glance at the waitress who happens to move past them to serve some new guests. They're being unnoticed again, but he's still scanning the surroundings in case of noticing something. Ayakashi can lurk in any place, and they've been sitting here long enough to get noticed. ]
no subject
Speaking of local gossip I've heard there's two redheads to keep wary of - goddess Kali and god Loki. The latter had named shinki against their will, and that's all I know.
[Archer scoops the remaining icecream and fruit and offers to Caster.] Here.
no subject
The naming thing I mean. It's about the naming of someone else shinki, right? [ Forcing someone into a nora ] Of all the shitty things one could do-
[ Yeah that makes him not notice the fruit and icecream ]
no subject
[Archer can understand why would it affect Caster the way it does. It goes against his beliefs to force someone to betray their liege.]
Caster. [it's a reminder, combined with a nudge of spoon against Caster's lips.]
no subject
From a bad taste topic to such simple bliss found only in ice-cream ]
I'll have to get here on your shift, see how your creations fare against this.
no subject
Does that mean you're asking me out?
[It's meant as a joke, because Archer knows it's the icecream that has the most appeal and not him. Well, perhaps his cooking, too.
He still feels a small burst of pride at that remark, one that he tries to hide.]
no subject
Maybe I just want to order you around.
[ Impossible, did he just found a small bit of pride in Archer? Of course, it's about his cooking- but damn, good. If you mastered a skill, you should take pride in it. ]
no subject
You have such chance every single day, if I'm not mistaken.
[Archer has pride in his cooking, true, one he lacks in his weapon skills. Still, he's in a joking mood, which counts as equally rare.]
no subject
True [ He doesn't even deny the fact that he does indeed take a chance to boss Archer around. Not that often though. "Master"-wise, he's nothing compared to Tohsaka and leaves his shinki mostly to their own devices ] But not while you're wearing a uniform.
no subject
being a house husbandit.]Is that a suggestion that I should dress up for you?
no subject
And here I thought I was the one taking everything as a challenge.
[ It's one thing to come here and mess with his shinki at work, it's completely different for that shinki to don that waiter uniform - or anything else, don't get creative Archer - back at the temple. He has no clairvoyance, but he can already feel that smugness radiating from the future. ]
no subject
[Who knows, but Archer's going to stay away from frilly aprons and maid outfits. No traumatizing Lancer at least.]
no subject
Aaah, I think we're done here. [ And you promised to be the one paying. ] Thanks for the treat, it was delicious.
no subject
[Archer goes to pay and is back in a few moments.]
no subject
You remember I can teleport, right?
[ So it's him who can grab people and "escort" them somewhere along ]
no subject
I do, but isn't it customary to escort the partner after a date?
[Ignoring the possible ayakashi tempted to take a bite, of course.]
no subject
[ He might have magically gained some knowledge about the modern world, but the stuff not-important to Grail War was not part of the package. And since Archer seems to be much more in-tune with this era... ]
I’m still learning the current customs, please do share more tidbits like that. [ He seems very proud of himself when asking that with wide, bright smile on his face. Of course, it’s entirely up to him if he decides to use that knowledge. Sometimes a bit old-fashioned is what’s good. ]
no subject
no subject
But more knowledge is always of use, I'm sure there is a saying about it. [ He stands up, ready to leave ] Escort away
[ It was a pleasant end of the day during which almost no fish were caught. He caught something else- the icecream for example. Or, once again, his shinki's attention ]
