Catch-All for Later-December/Early November [Semi-Open]
Who: Trunks Brief (light_of_willpower) and others
What: 1 semi-open prompt (Sword in the roof), 1 closed (dino hunting), and 1 fully open prompt (Training and planning games).
Where: The Far Shore--Caireen's temple and Grounds, or the Near Shore by the Natural History Museum
Warnings? ...grumpiness due to Piccolo's presence?
Dinosaur Hunting
Late October, Late Afternoon, Natural History Museum on the Near Shore, Closed to Piccolo, Trunks, Mai.
It was a surprise to no one who knew her, that as soon as Mai got wind about Children's fears attracting Dinosaur ayakashi--she was ready to handle it. Children being involved just made her extra serious. But...they were still hunting a Dinosaur-ayakashi, and Trunks in his vessel form would only be able to do so much for Mai.
That, and the shinki figured his fellow shinki might also enjoy the challenge--so with Mai's agreement, Trunks invited Piccolo.
Which is how the trio found themselves unobserved and hanging around the museum. Trying to ignore the crowds, and occasionally breaking off to check since they didn't know for sure where the dino-ayakashi would be. The Traveling exhibit (complete with a few sculpted replicas along with some bones on display) was their base--and any time children were around, they were extra alert.
It wasn't until it started to get closer to dusk and closing time, when they got their first hint of excitement. The replicas could be scary, even though it was known they were fake; they were real enough to some of the younger children. It was also the season of monsters and spooks, which helped play to their fears even more.
So when one of the bipedal-dino-statues started faintly glowing, with children starting to whine softly from fatigue and fear, it all happened quickly. The glow overtaking the replica, growing in size, and forming the ayakashi over top before coming down off the exhibit and starting to stalk towards the last tour group of parents and children...
Let he who-so-ever pull this sword from this...roof? [Somewhat open]
Morning of November 3rd--Caireen's Temple and grounds
Despite some late nights star-gazing and keeping Mai company, Trunks was by habit an early riser. Usually outside and starting training, even if he was doing so alone. The morning of November 3rd though, there was a new and unusual feature--sticking out at just enough of an angle that its shadow made him go investigate.
There was a sword. Stuck in the domed roof.
How did that get there? WHEN did that get there?
Of course Trunks will be floating up for a better look, but first--he's getting Mai. Maybe she'll know why and what happened.
[OOC: If you have a decent excuse to be around Caireen's temple grounds on the morning of Nov 3rd? Feel free to stop in. The short version is, Trunks has gained a regain--he just has to pull it out now...]
General Training and plans for the future.[Open]
Early November, Caireen's Temple and grounds, Weekly gatherings
For anything involving the gathering when newbies arrive on November 6th, please go here for Trunks' top level.
Otherwise, Trunks is usually found on Caireen's grounds--and while he's always up and open for people to train and work with, sometimes he'll also be found drawing. They're not very artistic, and honestly it looks more like he's trying to sketch out plans and notes for various obstacles and courses or games. Feel free to bother him.

Celestia wandered in from a different threadCelestia waved cheerfully to Mai from the roof. "Hello! Did you know you have a sword up here?"

And lightly tilting her head to one side.
"i see it." As she pondered over the countless possible explanation, though her peripheral vision, she noticed Trunks offering a hand. No doubt intending to bring her with him in his closer look. "Sure. It doesn't...seem like anyone else is around. And if it's some kind of trap, it would be a very stupid one to set."
Her only other fear was the weapon being some form of ayakashi in hiding.
(It wouldn't be the first time.)

"I think at this point, investigating it is the only way we're going to get answers." He would indeed bring Mai with him, for a closer look. "Leave it be until we get a good look at it, okay Celestia?" Maybe they could find more clues as to...whatever-it-was-that-was-going on.

It was also jammed in fairly straight. Western-style with the handle, and a scabbard laying nearby with a long strap attached. Just because it didn't seem like an ayakashi in hiding, Trunks was going to approach carefully anyways. "...any one have any ideas?"
