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. ]

Eh?

[She looks up at him]

Wha--I can't--they're your dogs...!

[And she's never had to name anything--aside from Temeraire, but even he was the one that listed out names for her.]
sing_for_me: (about that...)

...innocent...

There’s another one..? What do you call her?

[Please don’t look at her like that. She doesn’t know how to name animals.]
sing_for_me: (what do)

Re: I-I'm not lying!

..That's actually a pretty cool name.

[Definitely better for the other two.]

See! You can give nice names.

[That isn't too bad..waiting to see what kind of name would suit them. She almost did the same with Tem, but it seemed to sadden him to not had a name right away.]

Is he hungry or something..?

[ooc: this is what I just imagined when I read that ahaha]

Ah!

[Alex tries to make a grab at him, but misses his hands as he falls back down.]

Are you alright? What happened?

[She takes hold of his hands and helps him up this time.]

[Cunning as it was, it was an rather endearing sight.]

Sure. Actually, I was going to ask. What are you doing out here?

Divine--oh! You mean like the giant fish that's been popping around?

[They weren't there when she first moved in. And they were rather strange looking..pretty, but strange to see at that size. Then again, it's not like she saw many fish where she lived.]

Oh thanks--Here, let me help you with that.

[She takes both, just to free his hand, and reaches for whatever else looks like they may fall.]

Didn't you catch one just then though?

[She looks back at where he was previously as they walked.]

Do you plan on...eating them?

[Were they edible?]
