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. ]

( But now he's curious about Caster who looks like he just got into a bar fight with someone (or something). Did he lose? he's clearly not pleased. )
What happened to you?
no subject
That kappa stole my fishing rod, broke it and I- eh, I jumped in for a revenge. Few rivers- [ more like few brawls ] -later here we are, no longer enemies.
[ But he doesn't make it sound like they are friends either. That chance was lost when he got tricked with the cigarettes. ]
no subject
It sounds like something a kappa would do, I think. They're not very nice. ( And he comes over to get a closer and whatever it is that Caster received earlier from the kappa. A wet box? ) They're really tricky and dangerous in stories.
What'd it give ou?
no subject
Tell me more. I'm all ears for stories. [ You know how the stories go, they might have useful information buried in them. And since he intends to keep fishing, he might meet a youkai like that again sooner or later. Next time he'd rather be prepared ]
no subject
Hmm... ( He's humming out loud and thinking of all the stories he knows (which is, surprisingly, a lot). ) They're water spirits.
( And he reaches to touch the top of his head, )
On the top of their head is a hole with water. That's what gives it all of its power. So if you can trick it into bowing and spilling the water, it becomes weak. Some stories say they like to drink blood and eat children. But other stories say they just make fun of people. If you're really afraid of a kappa, you have to write your name on a cucumber and give it to the kappa and it'll leave you alone.
no subject
So that's why it was set to fight in the water! Makes sense now. [ It probably also means it will be hard to lure out on the dry land. ] But I know it's weak-point now, while it doesn't know mine!
Anything else?
no subject
They're really tricky. ( Yeah. ) I don't think I'd trust a kappa. ( And he's a pretty naive spirit! ) Some of them are harmless but others are really dangerous.
And they like to attack horses, women, and children...
( He's trailing off now, signifying he can't really think of anything else. )
no subject
Well, I guess I should go and search for my cape. [ And all those armor bracers ]
