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. ]

Anyway, there is something else that's been bothering him ]
You answer the prayers of people on this island, right? Have you found out why they would pray to Egyptian goddess? [ Or Greek, or Celtic, or freaking Persian, take your pick. They're colorful bunch. ]
no subject
Caster has a pretty good point with that question, though, and it's one Shun's asked himself before. His initial answer is a shrug even so, because he doesn't know that anyone has the answer to it.] Nobody seems to know. We didn't even have shrines in the home countries of the gods we're representing until July, or at least not ones we could use.
no subject
And wait, let me guess! The elder gods are not giving answers either. [ Is that a bingo? Does he get a reward? ]
At least the duties are straightforward enough. [ He starts gathering his fishing equipment. Ever since they started talking there was absolutely no sign of biting. Either a wrong spot or they chatter spooked the fishes. ]
no subject
Watching him pack up, Shun shrugs slightly.] If you're used to taking initiative, it's not hard.
no subject
He always was one to follow the orders, instead of throwing them around. So the god business did turn it all on its head ]
Thanks for the chat, Shun. It was very informative. [ He'll be moving to greener pastures- or rather fishful shores. While he won't say no to a company, he also suspects the other god has his own business to attend. ]
no subject
He tenses a bit at the use of his first name, even as he turns away.] Don't call me that.
[But he doesn't linger to press the issue. Caster is right that he has business to attend to - that of returning to his patrol, which he proceeds to do, though he keeps an eye on Caster until the other god gets out of sight.]
no subject
This is going to go so well... ]
