EVENT ★ GONE FISHIN'
 Thanks to your help, repairs to the flood wall are complete. The Nalawi are still largely without their Gifts, so they are thankful -- without the aid of ALASTAIR recruits, they would have surely drowned or been eaten by sea monsters. Despite the barely averted disaster, the residents of Komo have decided to go along with their lives as planned, perhaps to bolster morale instead of giving into despair. By chance, their annual fishing contest is scheduled for today! As honored guests, recruits are invited to participate. FISHING CONTEST Dugout canoes are provided for all participants, patterns that suggest fish scales burned into the wooden sides. Curiously, no fishing rods are offered; if a recruit requests one, they will be given a strange look, but the harbormaster will acquiesce. Due to the rough seas, the passage between Komo and the other islands is still inaccessible. Contestants are reminded to stay behind the reefs or venture east toward open ocean for their quarry. It’s only when the contest begins that the quarry in question is actually announced . . . Sharks. You are fishing sharks. And, judging by the lack of equipment (or the puny fishing rod you requested), you’re expected to do this by hand. The tiny deer people don’t seem bothered by this predicament at all: the goal is to catch the biggest shark, by length and poundage. Better not embarrass yourself in front of the locals. GET PUMPED Mettaton has announced over the jewelry that he will be hosting a celebration in tandem with the fishing contest, in order to help the native Nalawi and the ALASTAIR recruits get to know each other better. This includes singing, dancing, and all sorts of different performances -- and, of course, reporting on the actual fishing. If you aren’t the fishing type or maybe you just need a break from chasing sharks around, this is a good chance to bust a move and show your teammates how you can get down -- or just sit back and watch! It’s bound to be entertaining one way or another. Plot for the stage here! Olivia will be the final performer in the showcase. Anyone who witnesses her dancing may feel themselves super-charged by the spectacle . . . with possibly unexpected results! Characters may feel even more determined to win the fishing contest, or perhaps they’ll take this surge of optimism to help rebuild some of Komo’s destroyed buildings before the day winds down into night. THE FEAST After the fishing contest, the sharks will be collected and prepared. Grilled shark, fried shark, shark caviar, and shark jerky from the results of last year’s contest. There are fruits and vegetables and breads available as well, but if you want some protein, you’d better go native. During the feast, some of the Nalawi perform dances and song. The subjects range from their goddess Nalanni to love songs. Want to show off your talents again? Now’s the time! Or, if you’d prefer to step away from the excitement, the beach is quiet and empty, and the baths are unoccupied since the whole of Komo is at the gathering. As the feast winds down, the Nalawi will pass around their very potent alcohol for a toast to Komo’s health. Someone shouts, interrupting, wondering what good that will do if Nalanni has abandoned them. Concerned murmuring fills the gathering, spoiling the mood. ALASTAIR recruits may attempt to put them at ease -- otherwise, the feast will disperse on a sour note. OOC INFO If you would like your character to win the fishing contest, please sign up below. You must thread out fishing in order to participate in the drawing. There will be only one winner, decided by RNG. The winner will be contacted on April 1st. The prize is a necklace of shark’s teeth, which has a one-use spell that will make all sharks in a one mile radius sleep for 30 seconds. |
kicks kiva out of my prompt
Papyrus has taken up a spot on the beach, watching as best he can from the shore and even getting his boots a little wet as the tide rolls in and out.
He doesn't hear Undyne approach, too engulfed (get it) in watching the event in front of him, no matter how far out it might be, but gives her a grin once he feels her tap his shoulder.]
Hello Undyne!!
[Ah. "Maybe we should talk." He has a feeling he... knows what this is about. Which he would have been fine just ignoring.]
Oh.
I suppose, if you want to!
[He pauses.]
Or we could just not. That's fine too.
[There's your chance to back out of this if you really want to, Undyne.]
sans is just a small round papyrus right
[ And she's touched that he offered. But it took a lot for her to get this far, and she's not going to back down just yet, no matter how much she wants to. She shuffles a little, then shakes her head. ]
Nah. We should. Come on, I know where we can go.
[ Waving him along, she starts off back the way she came. It doesn't seem like she's heading anywhere in particular, just towards a long, rockier stretch of beach, with tide pools and some lingering remains from the storm. She stops at a seemingly arbitrary spot, but they're out of earshot, even of those still in view. ]
You saw what Mettaton said.
[ It's a statement, not a question. She braces herself for the inevitable: he's going to make that sad face he does, she's sure of it. ]
sans is just papyrus if the weight of his depression literally crushed him down to a smaller size
...I did.
[ No point in pretending he didn't. ]
I think... I always knew you didn't want me as part of the Royal Guard. Cooking lessons to become a Guard does sound strange, in retrospect!
[ No, it sounds strange ALWAYS, PAPYRUS. Maybe he didn't always know. Maybe he did just find out when it came out like that. Maybe he just accepted everything Undyne had told him, because he trusted her. But wouldn't that just make her feel worse? If he let her know how blindsided by this he was?
He laughs a little, rubbing the back of his neck. ]
Well, it's nothing to get upset about! In fact, I'm already over it!
[ See, look?? He's grinning! Already over it! ]
no subject
[ Wait. That's not actually making it any better. Okay Undyne, calm down! Take a deep breath! ]
It's not 'cause I didn't want you in the Royal Guard because I just didn't want you there. I was just. [ She can do it. She can say it. ] Worried? That if we ever had to actually fight humans, you'd get hurt.
Everything I like about you is what made me scared something would happen to you if Asgore's plan had worked, and we ever got to the surface.
[ Fancy that. Having said just that much, it's kind of a load off, to actually get that off her chest, and to say it all at once, and since she's on a roll, she just keeps going. She doesn't mean to keep him from getting a word in edgewise, it's just that getting started was hard enough-- if she stops, it might be insurmountable to get started again. ]
It's different now. We've actually met humans, and you're doing all this smart stuff like collecting rain water for the humans, and you got cool healing powers, and you're getting better every time we train together. Maybe I was [ . . .] Wrong. At least a little bit.
[ Making eye contact is hard (especially since he has no eyes and she's only got one herself) but she gives him an uneasy half-smile, and an apologetic shrug. If that's all she can manage to say, at least she said all the important stuff. There were a lot of things in there that were pretty difficult to say, but she said them, and it feels... better. Humbling. But better. ]
no subject
Well, either way. She admits that's how she really did feel. She told him she'd train him for the Royal Guard, but she never actually meant to accept him into it. Because she was... worried. Which was touching, really! It means someone cares about him, and he understands that!
But he's also so tired of being underestimated and not respected. He thought maybe having so many friends meant people would also respect him, but recently it just feels like the opposite. Like he has more and more people telling him things he can't or shouldn't do.
He's taken care of himself, and he's taken care of Sans, and he's being treated like he's never done either of those things. It was a little suspicious when it started out with Olivia convincing him to not so actively pursue a guard-like position. And then it was only made worse, by his attempts to calm Koltira down, by foolishly letting himself get hurt. More recently still... You are capable of creating something from nothing, but I do not know if that is enough to say you are capable of taking care of yourself.
It's a little frustrating.
But then Undyne keeps talking, and he's glad he keeps listening. Because she says she was wrong. Not that he wants her to feel like she's wrong, of course, but... All those things he was feeling upset about begin to fade away.]
Undyne...
[He gives back a half-smile too. Which then grows back into being a proper full-sized grin.]
One of the things I've always wanted... is being someone worthy of respecting! And I will admit... when I first heard what Mettaton said, I thought maybe you were just tolerating me, like I was a babybones...
So, um... Thank you! For taking me seriously now!!
no subject
Hey! You're still a big doofus if you think I would just tolerate you! You're my best friend and don't ever forget that! And I still want to keep training, okay?? I haven't changed my mind on that. Because someday, someone or something isn't going to back down just because you told it you want to give it a hug or that you believe in it, and if I can't protect you from that then I can train you to protect yourself.
no subject
You're my best friend too, Undyne!! And of course I want us to keep training!! It's a lot of fun!! And only as a very, very very last resort would I use it!!
no subject
This is such a weird sensation. ]
You'd better only use it as a very, very, very, very, very last resort because that's the Papyrus I'm friends with! Not some weird alternate universe Papyrus who likes beating people up and kicking puppies.
[ Wow this got pretty touchy feely. She backs off, but she's still got a big stupid grin. ]
Come on, let's head back. You still gotta tell me how the show went!
no subject
But hey, he'll take it! He like regular normal hugs!]
Alright! Well! It went in a very exciting direction I didn't foresee happening at all! Did you not go at all??
no subject
[ Busy sulking. But she doesn't really want to tell him that. ]
What happened?? I didn't hear anything about it.
no subject
Really good?? And then afterwards, Olivia danced, and Sans...
[He pauses, looking over at the water a little fondly.]
He had a great time! We played tag.
[Which, if Undyne knows Sans at all, the likelihood of Sans actively participating in tag is very, very unlikely.]
You should have seen it.
no subject
You're joking, right?? Is this some kind of prank? He didn't play tag!
no subject
[Papyrus sighs contentedly.]
Really great.
no subject
[ Even if he view of him had changed as of late, there were still some things she just couldn't imagine Sans doing. Sword fighting and yelling happened to rank pretty high on that list... ]
no subject
[ He's smiling, but he does sound a touch sad at admitting this. ]
no subject
[ Nope. There's nothing he can say to make sure actually believe it. She doesn't think he's lying, but at the same time, it's just too preposterous. Time to change the subject.
There's something she's been wondering about, anyway. ]
So how's the whole... assistant thing going?
no subject
[It was nice while it lasted...]
Oh! You mean being an assistant for Mettaton! It's going great! So far we haven't done a whole lot of work, but I really like working with him! And not only that, but it isn't dangerous!
[Just like she'd want, right?]
no subject
[ She punches a fist into her other palm. As if Papyrus would ever say anything mean about someone, she's probably not doing very well at persuading him to do it in the future. ]
no subject
[Even if sometimes he's kind of rude...
Papyrus appreciates dedication.]
Why do you think I like him so much? Besides, uh-
[ Being a sexy robot. ]
You know.
no subject
[ Wait. ]
What do I know??
no subject
no subject
[ In fact, she really doesn't know if she knows... she has no idea what he's alluding to. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She's tensing in the same way she always does when she's about to put him in a headlock. ]
no subject
[ He says, backing up half a step and holding out his arms. You know, like he does when she's about to noogie him anyway. ]
