[F22 - Quest] Fish are friends, Not food! (Mina, Knightessciela, Wulfrin, and Freyd!) [Assisted] <<KoL>>

[tricolor_mina 0]

"God, this was such a good idea~" Violet had travelled to floor 22 as the most recent part of a group effort to get one of their newest frontline hopefuls - that hopeful being Ciela, a rookie tank - up to snuff. So far, she'd been dragged through Absolute Zero with the help of Kataoka, braving the icy cold fields of floor four in order to earn herself an Extra skill. Now, they were much, much higher on the castle, and ready to smack down a brand new quest mob.

She'd heard of it from a few of her broker friends, as well as word of mouth from Akane - who'd suggested that she try fighting it, seeing as she was fond of fishing. given that it was a relatively squishy quest boss, it wouldn't be too difficult to work through, so most of their afternoon would probably be spent just having fun on the lakeside. As such, she'd come prepared, dressed in a nice swimsuit that was partially covered with a red Hawaiian shirt, as well as a picnic basket filled with goodies.

"Let's see, we're supposed to meet up by the contest, but I kinda want to set up the picnic area somewhere else..." she pouted a bit, pulling lament out of its holster to fan herself. "I don't want everything to get crushed by a giant fish, that'd be terrible. I worked hard on all of this, so I'd much rather it not go to waste." She checked her menu, looking through all of her messages to see if Freyd, Ciela, or Wulfrin had finally responded to her messages.

   | To: Freyd, Knightessciela, Wulfrin
   | From: Tricolor_Mina
   | Hey! Just wanted to double check that we're still good for the quest up on floor 22! If we finish up early, we might have time to do some
   | Actual fishing after the quest is finished! I made sure I brought plenty of snacks and drinks to keep us tided over (sadly I don't have any
   | Consumables on hand, but I don't think it matters considering that this guy has chump armor, lol).
   | See you soon!
   | - Mina

Akame had curled up on her shoulders, the happy-go-lucky dragon snoozing away without a care in the world as she basked in the sun. Violet smiled, scratching her behind the ears. "Maa... at least one of us is enjoying playing the waiting game!" she laughed, before walking over to the lake to watch the rest of the participants in the contest. Even though it was a quest, there were always a few player-run contests to see who could catch the best mob from the water.

it was silly to watch, but she enjoyed it at the very least.

[Wulfrin 0]

Wulfrin had taken the day off from his shop for the fishing tournament taking place not far from his place of residence on Floor 22. He was even more interested that it contained a perfect opportunity to bump his fiancé up a few levels via a quest boss linked to it. Wulfrin had gotten an early start, in an effort to get some recreation fishing done before the whole thing kicked off. Unfortunately he wasn't having much luck in that regard. He was at the edge of the dock, his feet dangling just above the water of the Lake of Reflection. He had been there a few hours with no bites, waiting on Ciela to come and join him for the festivities.

Guess the spawns have been reduced until the tourney starts.

Wulfrin's notification icon flickered to life with a chime. He opened his menu and found the message form Mina confirming the quest was still on. Wulfrin shot a quick reply back.

To: Freyd, Knightessciela, Tricolor_Mina From: Wulfrin I'm still down for a fishing tourney. I'm at the dock right now actually trying to get a bit of personal fishing done before it gets too crowded.

 

Wulfrin looked up after sending the message to see a fish leap from the water only a mere few inches from where he had retrieved his line.

"Damn fish," He scoffed. "Why you gotta taunt me like that."

[Freyd 0]

Freyd was already sitting by the shores of the Lake of Reflections when he received Mina's invitation.  Recent events with Elora and Oscar in Snowfrost had brought darker memories of this place to the forefront.  Given the nearby woods, such things were not easily dislodged once they took root.  Yori's bloody shirt hanging off the tree at Tanabata had been haunting his dreams ever since, verging them towards nightmares.  He'd have to fill Elora in on what happened, when he got the chance.

Right now, they had a contest to win, which probably meant Freyd was about to get swallowed and spat out by some giant ass fish that had it out for him because of his shirt.  For all his 'edgelordliness', fishing was the one task that the Whisper could actually permit himself as an outlet to relax.  Donning his trusty fishing shirt, complete with Hawaiian print, khaki shorts and sneakers to complete the ensemble, rarely would he ever be seen in anything but his trademark cowl and spoopy black garb.  Here was one of those rarest of exceptions.

"So, we doing the thing with the thing?"  He paused a moment, staring at Mina and Wulfrin's shirts, wondering if they'd shared some critical memo that he'd completely missed yet somehow stumbled into.  A broad grin spread across Freyd's face, his former pre-occupations fading to the background in favour of some shared shenanigans.

[KnightessCiela 0]

Ciela rolled out of bed, groggy but alert enough to catch Mina’s message popping up in front of her. She moved slowly at first, taking her time to make her way in the kitchen. She prepared a few quick snacks and pack a simple lunch for the day. A glance at the clock made her freeze. 11 o'clock already? Seriously!? She glanced down at her pajamas, letting out a groan before facepalming. There was no way she could show up at the beach dressed like this, although she knew Mina or Freyd might get a kick out of her bunny slippers.

In a hurry, Ciela grabbed a red shirt from Wulfrin’s dresser and slipped it over her swimsuit and shorts, knotting it just under her chest. She topped off her look with a straw hat adorned with a red bow, added some sunglasses, and slid into her sandals. With Perlita by her side, she rushed out the door, hoping to make it to Wulfrin’s place quickly.

Thankfully, Wulfrin lived on the same floor, so she planned to sprint there, praying that everyone else was running late. But knowing this group, she suspected she’d be the last to arrive. Sure enough, when Ciela reached the meeting spot, she saw Wulfrin, Freyd, and Mina already waiting for her. As she looked at them and then down at herself, she realized that somehow, they’d all ended up coordinating their outfits.

"Okay, are we going to talk about how weird this is, or are we just going to ignore it?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Violet looked pleased as she saw the rest of her team show up, a grin on her face as she realized that they were all wearing matching outfits. "Well, I figured Freyd would match with me today since he seems to enjoy his Hawaiian print shirts when we're fishing... but I wasn't expecting all of us to match!" she patted the basket that laid on the ground next to where she'd been sitting, her grin widening slightly. "I've got some snacks and things for after we go kick some ass during the quest, but for now, we gotta go find us a salamander before we enter into the contest. Apparently they like to lurk around in the forest that surrounds the local mountain~"

She fiddled with her menu for a moment, before a Spyglass appeared around her neck, "It'll be super simple, they're pretty big for a passive mob! We just have to be fast enough to catch any that we find, or we're gonna be stuck playing cat and mouse for a little bit." Another menu appeared, prompting her to turn around as she spotted Akame flying back her way with a small bundle of herbs. "Aw, thanks lil lady~"

"Truthfully I wasn't planning to match with anyone," Wulfrin said with a sigh. "It is good to see everyone again though."

Wulfrin continued to sit with his feet hanging off the dock as the conversations happened around him. He was excited to see this crew come together in an odd set of circumstances. Sure they had planned to be here for this tournament, but he didn't think they would all have matching uniforms. He had done some research before coming out here though, supposedly this salamander was located in the mountains nearby and was supposed to be some kind of special bait for something called King of Lakes. He had heard several NPCs talking about it a few days before the competition.

"That salamander is the bait for the quest boss right?" Wulfrin asked as he cast his line back into the lake. "Ain't they located up in the mountains near here?"

He felt a tug on his line. With a large pull, he drug his catch up to the dock. The large catfish dangled from his line, flopping around gasping for water before, disappearing into the void that was his inventory. A small chest appeared before him. Wulfrin opened the chest forcing it to turn into an info panel displaying his spoils.

"Neat," Wulfrin said as he looked over the items. "Perhaps my luck is turning around now."

[Freyd 0]

"Hey!  Don't look at me. I had dibs," Freyd joked, smirking beneath his suspiciously familiar shades.  "But, given how good Mina and Ciela look, I might have to give up my claim, or maybe get something similar for Elora?"  Said smirk turned modestly goofy for a moment, an unfamiliar sense of comforting warmth flushing the Whisper's face.

"Dude.  Leave room for the rest of us."  Wulfrin had twenty feet of clear space to either side of him.  "I haven't actually sat for a decent fish in a long while.  This could be nice."  Persi had already oozed from her hiding place and absconded with sampled deliciousness from Mina's treat bag.  Her tiny inky form could be seen darting beneath the deck of the nearby boardwalk, the slitted slots of her eyes purring with purloined satisfaction.

"Yeah.  The salamanders hide in the rocks over by the rocks on the far side of the lake."  A lazily drawling hand pointed randomly inland towards the Forest of Memories instead of anywhere near the water.  "Little buggers can be a real pain to find.  Wonder if Tracking would work?  Doesn't always with this sort of quest objective."  

As Freyd casually flicked and cast his line into the open waters, everyone else spotted a tiny patch of red moving on the back of his shirt, skittering to perch itself on his right shoulder.  Sighing and clearly oblivious to the unanticipated visitor, he slowly started to recoil his reel, starting what sounded like a countdown ticking its way towards disaster.

"I swear.  It would be so nice if a fishing trip didn't turn into a complete debacle, just once."

Ciela let out a laugh, "I definitely didn't plan to look like this. But it's probably a sign. You definitely should get Elora something similar. I mean just look how good we look!" Ciela did a quick spin to show off her outfit. She paused a second, "OH! I brought baked goods and some sandwiches. And, I even brought you more honeybuns Freyd."

She looked over at Wulfrin who wasted no time getting set up fishing, and laughed at Freyd's comment to Wulfrin. She made her way over to the pier where Wulfrin and Freyd were sitting.

As she got closer she saw this little red thing crawling on Freyd. It just perched itself on her shoulder when she grabbed it right off. "Well aren't you a cute little guy!" She pet the salamander and handed it off to Freyd. "I mean the trip may have gone a little bit different if I weren't so quick at catching the little bugger."

With the giga-Chad gecko found, Freyd sauntered over to a suspiciously familiar-looking Lotus, preferring to help the old man out than compete with him.  Patting the old fisher on the back, Freyd pulled out his replica rod, its green mallard head looking perfectly at home in the 1950s. 

"It reminds me of the one my grandad used, okay?"  Deflecting the odd and incredulous looks, he baited his hook, offering Lotus an equal share and casting out his line.  "Come join us, Wulfrin.  I know you've got the skill."  Thanking Ciela for the snacks, he snarfed down one of the honeybuns like he'd been craving them, despite having an absurdly large stock in his inventory.  Fresh was always best.

"Keep this up and you'll make Freya jealous," he offered, glad that she's either picked up or learned to replicate the recipe.  Soaking in the sun and fun, Freyd was in no hurry - the perfect mood for fishing, and would remain quite content if they failed for the rest of the day.  It was rare for the Whisper to allow himself a break.

"One mega fish boss coming up!" Wulfrin said as he made his way over to Freyd. "Gimme the salamander."

Living on Floor 22 had its perks. Today the biggest perk was getting to the tournament grounds early in an attempt to get some warm up casts in before the show. As Wulfrin fastened the salamander to his hook. He gave Lotus a thumbs up. The two had had conversations about this tournament multiple times leading up to the day's events. The plan was to catch the big ol' fish and cook up some fillets. Wulfrin stood at the end of the dock where he had been fishing all morning. With a simple flick of the wrist, the salamander soared through the air towards the lake's center. Stillness fell across the lake's surface. For a moment, one would think there was nothing churning in the water. Lotus slowly made his way to Wulfrin and began to speak.

"Maybe you sho-" 

"Shhh!" Wulfrin cut him off, holding up a finger.

There were small nibbles at his line as if something was testing it. Stillness once again. Then a series of violent tugs began to pull Wulfrin towards the edge of the dock, threatening to pull him under. Wulfrin pivoted 180 degrees and began to slowly march towards the shore with a series of grunts and yells.

"Here! ... We! ... Go!" He shouted as he made one final tug. Emerging from the water, a massive catfish with six legs and jagged teeth. It roared as Wulfrin's hook came free from its jaw. "Target... acquired..." Wulfrin panted as he prepared for combat.

Violet frowned as she watched Wulfrin cast his line, her eyes immediately being drawn to the water. 'If I'm remembering this right... then it should spawn a few moments after the line gets cast- oh!' She jolted slightly as she spotted a health-bar a split second before the massive fish boss broke the surface of the water, a booming Roar echoing across the beach. "Oh shit, that thing's bigger than I thought it was gonna be..!" she said shakily, backing up slightly so that she was standing a bit closer to Freyd. "Well, um... Let's get this guy!" She hurled Ember forward, the sword art seemingly not proccing properly until it nearly whiffed the boss.

A few moments later, the fan shot back towards it, glowing with a silver flame as it bonked the giant fish across the back of its head. Violet caught her fan in her outstretched hand, blinking as she stared at it. "Huh... so that's what Absolute Accuracy looks like with throwing weapons..?" She looked over at wulfrin again, giving him a thumbs up. "Alright, you're up buddy. Go get that fishy bastard!"

Wulfrin quickly swapped from rod to sword, the icy mist of Icingdeath began to slowly pool around his feet as he charged forward, his Florenthian Howl sword art causing a vibrant emerald light to envelope his blade as he closed the distance from the dock to King of Lakes in a fraction of a second. The impact caused the giant walking catfish to stagger a bit as its natural armor became practically non existent.

"Alright," Wulfrin said to his little adventuring party. "Freyd. Ciela. Y'all are up. Honey you may want to swing first or Freyd is likely to wipe the beast before you even get a chance."

His estimation was most likely to be correct. Between himself and Mina's attacks, the beast was already at basically half health. Solaris was set up to follow up Wulfrin's attack. With King of Lakes having no Mitigation anymore, Freyd could likely obliterate the last fractions of its health bar with one punch. Ciela, needed the experience tanking, but this encounter was unlikely to give her that the way it was going.

Ciela couldn’t help but feel a rush of pride as she caught the elusive gecko on her first try. She glanced over at Freyd, who was struggling to reel in the King Fish. She felt a pang of sympathy for him, but her spirits lifted as Wulfrin finally caught the creature. After the fiasco with Wulfrin and the Lurker last time, she was glad Wulfrin managed to wrangle the fish without too much hassle.

Following Wulfrin's advice, Ciela took the opportunity to attack before Freyd. She figured that if she could get a quick stun in, it might make things easier for him. The King of Lakes was massive, and Freyd would likely kill it with his next hit. But just in case, she thought she’d soften it up a bit, or at the very least, stop it from taking a swing at them.

With her usual grace, Ciela landed a clean hit on the King, stunning it just enough to buy them a few precious seconds. “Yes!” she exclaimed, a grin lighting up her face as she did a little celebratory dance. The hit felt good, and the adrenaline only added to her excitement. She took a step back, knowing Freyd could handle the rest.

“Alright, Freyd,” she called out, her tone playful. “Don’t miss!” She gave him a teasing look, knowing full well he had it in the bag. Still, a part of her wondered, just a little, What if he did?

Still slightly dozy, Freyd was slow on the uptake, struggling to find his footing and get in on the fight.  Maybe is was the beachwear?  The ladies were killing it, after all.  Fortunately, that also include the giant fish monster threatening to ruin their day.  A weak-hearted blow was all be managed to get in, his loafers catching on some of the deck boards and nearly spilling him into the drink in the process.

"Ugh.  Just not my day, I guess." he grumbled, trying to unwrench his leg from an uncomfortable looking pose.  "Good thinking with that stun, Ciela.  Someone want to finish this thing off while I deal with a pair of shoe laces trying more than a little too hard to suicide me?"  Part of him was seriously tempted to sword art his sneaker and blow it to smithereens, but he'd probably manage to explode the rest of his foot along with it, which would be bad.

"Gotcha, I'll clean it up!" Violet launched herself at the Fish, laughing at Freyd who had tripped over his own feet. "At least you're being a good sport about it, yeah?" Ember snapped shut, the edge glinting with a deep white-hot light that easily seared its way through any remaining defenses that the King might have had, the bladed fan sizzling as it cleanly severed its way through its body. Talk about overkill! "Either way, that's a wrap, everyone! Now we can either just chill, and enjoy the rest of our day after we turn in the quest, or we can just head back home after!"

The quest boss shattered as she walked away, a mischievous grin on her face as she put away her fan, before retrieving a different one that was clearly a non-weapon vanity item, red and black lacey fabric attached to the delicate panels. "That was way simpler than I thought it would be, seeing as we just kind of stomped it..." She turned back to her friends. "Either way, we do gotta go get our rewards! C'mon, let's go get our goodies!"
