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. ]

[ Then again, Shizuo's life is essentially turning into the constant expectations that he might accidentally break a thing. Also, this is actually turning into a hangout thing, so he's going to sit on the ground- taking care to hold onto the side of his stomach while doing so- and get a smoke started for himself. ]
You're just gonna buy a replacement now, aren't you?
no subject
And if you need fire-- [ He moves his hand closer, ready to offer some with his rune. Probably the most mundane application of magic ever, but if he's stuck with it, why not make the most of it? ]
no subject
[ Right at the offer, Caster would see the silver lighter that was already in Shizuo's hand. In fact, he was already lighting up, having distracted the guy with his future pole options. ]
Thanks, uh, I got it.
no subject
So, you got my story. And what had mauled you? [ They could have a contest who looks in a worse shape ]
no subject
[ He can tell the dumb joke is being made, but isn't one to make any back. So the best he can do is acknowledge what Caster said. ]
Ah, a someone with a chainsaw ran me through yesterday. That's it. It's been mostly patched up with someone's powers.
[ The only reason why he held it is because he's still not sure how fragile the new skin and tissue is. ]
no subject
In Heavens? Or on the Near Shore? [ Good thing there are magical healers here. People don't normally walk off being mauled by a chainsaw.
A random attack on the Near Shore seems unlikely, given how unnoticeable they are, but not impossible. If someone is running around the Heavens with that though... ] Tell me what happened.
[ It is entirely possible, Shizuo has only himself to blame, and use of lethal weapon was justified. It is also possible he was a victim of a vicious random attack. Hence the inquiry. ]
no subject
[ So definitely in the heavens. At least his problems are hidden away with his clothes right now, even if he's being extra careful for something that was a gaping wound the day before. ]
Ah... Just watch out for redheads carrying chainsaws over their shoulders. They don't like it when you say you don't have time to figure or deal with it.
no subject
I'll check out the park if I have time. [ That's decided then. And probably warn his shinki beforehand. He heard about murders before, that one supposedly had been caught. ]
no subject
[ Can you tell that he's gotten the talk about that already. Then again, Hakkai would prefer to not have to clean up and heal these kinds of messes on a regular basis, so it made sense. ]
They're probably not there anymore, or they're not carrying it around. My luck was probably just that shitty.
no subject
Tell me about it! [ No, really. Stories of bad luck maybe won't ward it off but can be entertaining after enough time has passed. Rank E luck is a club with a good company, feel free to join in ]
And hey, there are ladies who would be offended by being treated as delicate flowers. You're not a lost cause, don't worry.
no subject
[ Which sounds like a fake excuse, he knows, but it was the actual truth.
Also, he doesn't want to be part of the Luck E club. It seems painful. ]
Honestly, I'm not even supposed to be out too much. I'm taking it easy, but Hakkai probably wanted me to actually stay in bed another couple days before I even tried anything.
no subject
Well, you're in one piece, that means you can try going for payback later - if that's your thing.
[ A break for inhaling the smoke and getting focused on enjoying the act before blowing it out ]
Sounds like you got yourself a doting doctor.
no subject
I'm really not the type to go off and hit women, much less start fights with one.
[ This probably explained why he seemed to be impaled by a chainsaw so easily. Or at least it seemed like a good excuse. Really, you don't expect a chainsaw to cut through a utility pole like its nothing.
No one expects a utility pole to be ripped out of the ground so easily either.]Nah, not doting so much as not wanting all his work undone, or minimize it as much as possible. Especially when I can't feel if it opens up. He's been trying to encourage people check me for injuries regularly and all that shit since he found out about that.
no subject
Once again you mention something strange... [ Not feeling opening it up? Having others check it? Wounds reopening can hurt like hell, been there done that. Unless... ]
Wait- are you saying you don't feel pain at all?
[ Is that what he meant last time by saying he wouldn't be held back by pain? ]
no subject
[ Honestly, Shizuo wasn't sure what he did and didn't tell people at this point. By now it felt like everyone had to know that he didn't feel pain. ]
It helps that my body's also pretty tough, but that's why I can do stuff like grab a blade that's swinging at me with no problem.
[ Sound familiar? ]
no subject
I'm kind of envious... even if I suppose it's nothing to be envious about.
[ Pain is a good indicator something is wrong and has to be fixed. Without it you might end with a bad injury that you won't even notice.
And then because Shizuo needs someone to keep an eye on him, to not accidentally expire, Caster moves to raise his shirt just to check on a wound. A friendly gesture. ]
no subject
[ Yes, he sees you reaching for his shirt. Not today, you vampire/demon possessed looking fuck. Catching that hand by the wrist, a firm grip with his kind of strength seems to be enough of a display of how he doesn't want that. ]
The hell d'you think you're doing?
no subject
parasitevampire days are over. He doesn't need to leech off anyone- plus Shizuo probably wouldn't even be tasty. ]Checking your wound, what else? [ No need to get huffy, he'll take that hand away - or at least try to ]
no subject
You don't just go reaching to look under someone's clothes like that. You're supposed to ask before trying that kinda thing. Look, it's just a scar right now.
[ He'll lift it enough to show half of the closed wound. Which is still a lot, as the chainsaw that impaled him left its mark from the top of his hips to just a little into the ribcage. Half of that was still a few inches. It can barely count as a scar, though. At this point it's barely closed up skin that's a bright red, showing off just how fragile the area really is.
After that small show, however, he immediately drops the shirt and leans back on his hands to relax. ]
I'm not about to burst open or anything.
no subject
Yea, it got a long way to go before it becomes a scar. [ He says after he takes a closer look at the wound. But he doesn't seem overly concerned over the size of it - if anything, his tone lightens despite the gruesome sight. I mean, not bleeding to death confirmed - situation is under control all is good ]
But I'll remember to take a notice of any fresh bloodstains that shouldn't be there. [ Mission, stare at Shizuo, occasionally ] You better keep wearing light colored clothing.
no subject
[ Shizuo, that's not a normal healing rate for people. Yet he doesn't seem to think anything of how fast that estimate is. No, instead he's skeptically looking at the guy because of that order. Who the heck do you think you are, man?
They've barely gotten to even know each other.
That's what happens when you're a fun and quick spar, Shizuo.]I'm gonna wear whatever the hell I want. The last thing I need is for more people looking me over to see if I'm bleeding or burnt.
no subject
It sure does seem I respect your friends' concerns more than you do. [ He's not ogling you, he's just checking your vitals ]
But at least you heal fast. [ Well, that's good. Get better soon bro, can't spar otherwise ] That's good enough.
no subject
[ It's weird and he doesn't like so much direct attention. There's so much he can handle with only superficial injuries, so it gets overwhelming. ]
But yeah, I've always been quick to heal. Even scalp cuts stop bleeding pretty quick for me.
no subject
That would make sense, but do bodies even work that well? Maybe Shizu just hit jackpot getting a trait needed to compensate for the other problem? Probably some kind of scholar could answer that question.
Caster on the hand just falls silent and focuses on smoking the cigarette. ]
no subject
[ Which he only knows about because he was that age for a period of time here. Complete with the neck brace, sling and everything else.
However, he doesn't elaborate, content with letting things fall silent with them smoking. He's not really someone that needs to always maintain a conversation to enjoy a scene, after all, and the lake is... Relaxing. Even if it was just the scene of a brawl between a god and a kappa. ]
