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. |

Ahahah! It looks like we have someone more interested in throwing out compliments than fishing for sharks, folks! Not that you'll find me turning them down. Please, continue to shower your lovely host with every kind word you can think of. And our other performers as well!! We do it for you, darlings!!
[Mr. Owl gets a wink.] And maybe, with enough coaxing, you'll get your encore. I'd hate to disappoint my fans.
BUT!! [FLOWER TOSS!] In the interest of being relevant, I see you've been cleaning your blade. Did we catch anything in those hazardous waters?
no subject
Maybe enough coaxing and I shall hear you sing just for me.
[ a step back. hm? ] Sharks. Nothing to keep but to give to those that seem to enjoy the meat of such beasts. I do not keep sharks in my collection. It is never good to keep such creatures too close, Nightingale. [ but the robot does not seem to be listening to him too well, is that not right? ]
no subject
[He raises his arms. There is more flower-confetti as well as a rain of... bombs. It's bombs.
They explode harmlessly away from the stage, thankfully.
Playful nudge.] And let's not make anyone jealous now, gorgeous. My voice belongs to everyone.
You know, I've heard that about sharks. That seems like a rushed judgement, doesn't it?
no subject
Quite a trick that you have there, good sir. [ And nudged too, is he? ] A voice for everyone is the same as a voice for no one. But I won't quibble over that with you while you are shining bright.
No? The waters nearly killed us and I could only guess what marine life would be capable of remaining... or returning after all has calmed. [ A smile. ] For eyes such as yours, you do not see the bad easily.
no subject
Of course not. The heart of an actor needs to feel understanding above all else. And as someone who understands, I say living in harsh waters only inspires strength, not cruelty.
[Just like being forced to live Underground inspires wonder and joy for the Surface, not a need for revenge.]
no subject
An interesting idea. Strength over cruelty. [ He never did get to see how Nobunaga would fare against Hideyoshi. Nobunaga that removed all of his humanity against Matsunaga's creation that believes only in strength. Which would survive? And this is probably not what the Nightingale is saying. ]
You have a romantic heart all the same, but I feel that has already been discussed. An actor also needs to believe in the stage which he is set and yours is one that is built upon light and glamour, is it not?
no subject
Well. I certainly can't claim YOUR eyes are failing you. Is this not the most glamorous show ALASTAIR can afford, folks?! [Twirl!]
no subject
Oh yes. I believe something can be born from pain and suffering.
[ heh. ] I am certain it can be even more glamorous. After all, we are all just getting started. You are shining well enough, Nightingale. I know you shall do more. Brighter and brighter for these people. [ and for what purpose? he cannot understand it. ] As you said before, you are to [ is that right? he wonders. he feels he is misquoting. ah well. ] give us something to aspire toward, is that not right?
And can we say there is no one better to aspire toward? [ a small nod. ] For one who can have the heart of an actor is one who lives for everyone. [ he claps his hand once. too much applause? perhaps. ]
no subject
Honestly, he's spent enough of his life countering every negative thought he, his family, and his friends have ever had. He's far too glamorous to drag down with this tripe.
But he's back to posing, languidly stretching a leg out as Mr. Owl goes on.]
Oh, a tall order, is it? But for you, my adoring audience, I can reach it. My friend here doesn't misspeak, after all. I'm here for all of you!
no subject
Not necessarily a tall order? Everyone here wishes for happiness and you are providing it. It is reached at this moment because you wished for it to exist. This entire production would not exist had not you decided to create it. [ a small frown in thought. ] Someone may have thought of the idea, but I doubt it would look as it does now. Everyone else probably thinks the same.
The strength to pull others to show themselves before eyes that may not appreciate them. It is a talent like your song and dance. [ yes, yes. to protect someone when papyrus is not around. he hums and thinks protection comes in a lot of ways. such as giving proper thanks from one such as himself, and explaining how those performing should be grateful that there is one among them that has strength to attempt to create happiness. though, happiness is a brief concept that will soon die. but hasn't he already gone over that in his head? ]
You may be here for all of us, but those that stood upon that stage are not. [ because people are ultimately selfish. ] You allowed them to be here for others. And so, Nightingale, that is worth acknowledgement. [ why this leg. he stares at it for a time. hm. ] Much like how high it appears you can kick.
no subject
wasn't said very often. Or praised. His talents and charm and looks, yes, those got compliments, but the spirit behind it...
He's chuckling with a hand covering his mouth, despite the sound actually coming from the speaker on his chest.]
Looks like someone took my suggestion about kind words to heart!! I'd be blushing if I could, Owl-darling. [Instead, it just sounds like his internal fans are kicking on louder.]
And yes. My legs are very nice, aren't they? [He twists it in mid-air, admiring the built-in heel. He's never had legs before! They're so... long. And... leggy.
If Mr. Owl was trying to get on his good side, legs was the correct answer.]
no subject
[ as negative as he can be, people will just be positive -- though, that positivism may be tainted with doubt. if he is positive, if he gives his endorsement, from what little people know of him, it would breed hope. he does not think the situation will get better, but seeing everyone's hopes and joy crushed when he helped to build it up, that is too interesting. and he would not have come up with the idea had it not been for another. ]
No reason to blush. You are deserving of these words and so I shall just accept your heat. [ glowing bright. yes, let's see how this cultivated hope will do. ]
They are very nice, yes. I have not seen finer legs. [ on a robot. tadakatsu always appears quite like armor. ] These appear to be more of a dancer's sort. They suit you quite well.
no subject
...Honestly, MTT had no idea what was leaving Mr. Owl's mouth sometimes. But it was always said so sweetly that he's willing to take whatever it is as a compliment. He chuckles again, flipping his synthetic hair over his shoulder.]
And they'll be put to good use later on in the show, I assure you.
BUT. That seems to be all the time we have for this interview. Keep your eyes on the stage now, beauties and gentlebeauties, because NEXT UP is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime performance by our very own TIGER MILLIONAIRE!!!
[He's raising his arms again. There are more explosions and time enough for applause before the show continues on. Eyes no longer on them, the robot casts his own to Mr. Owl.] I appreciate the time, darling.
no subject
[ He really needs to think of where he wishes to start his collection. It is ... displeasing to him to think that they are all warped somewhere and he has no means to continue to have control and dominance over his treasures. So, there must be something he can do and will have to think on it more. ]
Tiger Millionaire. [ Another wince. So loud and colorful. He much rather appreciates the robot when its voice is singing. And it appears everyone is back to looking upon the stage. Hm. ] Appreciate the time? You are welcome to it. [ Another hum. ]
I shall hope that you hear more thanks for what you have done today. [ But he wonders. It probably will be followed by consoling words. His smile turns sharp, as it often does when he thinks of a particularly good joke. ] From just me, I fear that they lack the weight that is needed. I am but one old owl that only hopes to hear your song every so often.
