awashlogs | Open Quests & Catch-All!

WHO: Summer and YOU
WHERE: Prompts are specifically in Bluo and Flavo but you can catch her anywhere in Chroma, really.
WHEN: Mid- to end of March! New arrivals are very welcome.
WHAT: Open starters for Quest 48 and Quest 51, for anybody looking to complete those!
WARNINGS: None that I can think of! I'll update as needed.

I — QUEST 48 (OTA, she's a red!)

[There's actually relatively little to do for general everyday entertainment in Chroma if you're not doing the quests posted to the forum, and this month's complement of them had definitely caught Summer's eye — not least of which because most of them are either so vague as to be conveniently easy to accomplish, or so straightforward that there's not a lot of hoops to jump through in order to complete them. Like hell she's about to let herself be thrown into the harbor, though, and she's not particularly eager to swap bodies with anyone, but the others? She is a red, after all, and the one about remembering someone who's gone...

Well. She's got plenty of experience with clinging to nothing but memories, doesn't she.

It's really just a question of what she wants to do for the remembrance one, really, and while she thinks it over, she goes to hang out by the library in Bluo, setting up a hand-lettered sign that reads:

BE AN ANIMAL FOR AN HOUR
(a quest-worthy new experience!)

Offer not available to people who can already transform into animals. Area witch accepts no liability for dumb shit you may do while in animal form. Standard data and message rates apply.

She's sitting nearby, sketching something in a notebook propped up on her knees, if you care to inquire.]

II — QUEST 51 (OTA)

[Eventually, though, she seems to have figured out what it is she wants to do for Quest 51, and that means all that she needs is a passerby to share it with her. She's taking up residence for this one out near the apple trees in the garden in Flavo, so if you're in that area, you may just be approached by a petite redhead in a long black cloak with a blue jay on her shoulder and a look of determination in her eyes.]

Hey, can I borrow you for a sec? It's for a quest. You don't really have to do anything other than stand around and witness the majesty, okay? Super simple.

III — WILDCARD

[Want to do a different quest? Want her to throw you into the harbor? Want to meet up with Summer somewhere else for an entirely different reason? Wildcard her up!]

Eh...

[ He just wanted an apple for lunch... But that's a simple enough request, yeah, but that doesn't stop Kano from being overly suspicious about it, trying to run through his mind what sort of quests were even available that might involve standing around and watching some sort of "majesty." A new experience, maybe? He'd never been asked to stand there and do nothing. ]

Alright, alright, you have my full attention! Go ahead~

Cool, okay.

[Okay, great. Audience, check. Tribute, about to happen. Although, first, maybe she better clarify one little thing really quick.]

This is a thing for Dave, by the way. Did you know Dave? I feel like everybody did, unless he left before you got here.

If he left more than two days ago, I probably don't know him. Is he a celebrity around here? The mayor? What happened to him?

[ People can't escape from this town, is what's been drilled into his head the two days he's been here, so. ]

Oh, you're really new. Well, welcome to Chroma, I guess. Dave's the guy who named it so I guess that's kind of like being a celebrity? He was a cool guy.

[She jerks a thumb at the garden, and specifically the trees.]

He was one of the guys who gave us all this. He liked the apples best, I think, so it's neat that we still have them even though he's not here anymore.

[ There are misconceptions already forming in Kano's mind, namely that Dave must have been one of the pioneers of this town when it was newly established and had planted the apples trees out here from seeds— and trees take years and years to grow to maturity, he thinks, so maybe Dave is... dead... and this "thing" for Dave is a memorial. Ah, heck, he feels bad about it now.

No more smiles, a solemn face and a hand over his heart while he turns to the tree. ]

Your contributions won't be forgotten, Mister Dave. May you rest in peace...

[This is already the greatest memorial service ever. It's exactly as much of a disaster as Dave would've wanted, probably.]

Right, so I'm just going to say a few words here as a sort of tribute —

[She actually clears her throat here, good grief.]

Dave, the way you're moving had us in a trance,
As DJ, you turned it up,
Your sick beats were our jams,
We haven't got Moscato,
And haven't lost our pants,
But you gave us these apples and you did it with no hands.

[And with that, she waves her hands, and in midair explodes a sudden flash of light not unlike a firework, except in the shape of a drawing rescued from the network, courtesy of our departed hero.

As it fades away into oblivion, she salutes.]

[ Oh my god. The first few lines of rap already delight him, who struggles to hold in the laughter that threatens to burst out two seconds after he'd sworn to himself that he'd be serious about something for once, but by the time she gets to Moscato, Kano is weak and he gives in and he's just cracking up, one hand holding his stomach while the other remains over his heart like he can still savage this, laughing hard enough to be unable to breathe or comment on anything else beside seal clapping when the fireworks show happens, of a picture of who Kano can only assume is Dave himself.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. He definitely won't forget Dave now; how could he? ]

[He'll definitely have help with remembering him, too, when he gets his sick quest reward out of this one.

In the ensuing silence that follows the light show, Summer eventually offers helpfully: ]

I told you it was majestic.

[ Heck yes, he's going to hang Dave's picture up on his living room wall, it's going right on the mantle. ]

It sure was majestic! He would've been super proud of that, I'm sure! I understood none of that, but it was really fun to listen to~

That's okay, I don't really think Dave's legacy is one that's meant to be understood.

[...]

Actually, I think a lot of things about Dave weren't really meant to be understood. What a top-tier dude.
