WHO: Val and you!
WHERE: Bluo
WHEN: After March's new arrivals
WHAT: Two open prompts
WARNINGS: Nothing so far, will update if needed.

I.
[He's been stone for approximately a month, which he can't exactly tell. But there are new quests up on the laptops so that's definitely a marked change. Time to resume his life like it was never on pause!

Val can be found at the ocean's edge, brushing the marble dust off of his cape.]

You there! Throw me into the water.

[He's fully dressed, maybe tell him that's a bad idea. Or at least try to dissuade him.]

II.
[Some other point in the day, he'll just walk up to somebody in Bluo like-]

How do you feel about switching bodies?

Did you know you don't get anything if you're the one who gets pushed in the water?

[At least that's what Keigo is assuming, since no special trinket was waiting for him when he got home from being dunked in the water by Kaoru, and there have been no new deliveries of oddly colored food.]

That's not fair at all! We're the ones suffering!

That makes the solution simple! We can push each other in the water.

[Idiot.]

[This idiot is listening.]

Do you really think it works that way? Isn't that cheating?

How is it cheating if we both get pushed?

It's trying to find a way to get around the quest!

But if the worst that happens is we fail...

[These normal quests never seem to come with a terrible consequence. He already has one ribbon calling him out for being a failure. What's another?]

Are you saying you don't want to learn what happens if we fail? Any knowledge is useful, lad.

[Also it's not like they'll die if they screw up a quest.]

[Not being a failure is better than knowledge, but he's still feeling better about this idea.]

We are supposed to be forming bonds with the quests. What's a better bonding experience than pushing each other into freezing water?

[This is stupid and they're both stupid but Val is absolutely encouraged by this.]

Exactly! There's no better bonding experience than a shared one!

[All right! They're doing this!

They just have to...]

How are we doing this? Do we take turns? Push each other in at the same time?

... what.

[ Listen. It's not like she can't do it. Or, once she's considered it for a moment, she doesn't recall the quest. ]

Think you should get a dry change of clothes to change into after, before you go for that?

[He looks blankly at her, like perhaps he's not thought of the consequences of getting absolutely drenched.]

The cold doesn't bother me that much.

Yeah, but it doesn't exactly look clean, either. Ew.

It's hard to tell if it's clean or not when the water isn't fully restored.

Yeah, well. Isn't it better to be prepared? Trying to get home in something stinky or corrosive probably won't be a great kind of day.

I've been in it before. It hasn't been dangerous.

[ She stares at him for a moment. Then just rolls her eyes. ]

Fine, whatever.

[ And into the water he gets pushed ~~unless he changes his mind and struggles, she'll stop, then~~. She tried to be reasonable, all right? But if it's what he wants... ]

Edited 2019-03-31 22:21 (UTC)

[He absolutely does not struggle.

But he does sink.

Not that he seems to care.]

[??? of all the things Yu was expecting to be asked, this is not it..]

Is your cape waterproof?

[Important questions to ask.]

I live next to magma, why would I be waterproof?

[Why does he have an ice resistance and a fire intolerance if he lives like that?]

Well why would you want to take a dip in the water around this time? Especially with your clothes still on...

[Please explain the logic to him because he is Not Getting It]

There's a quest on the forum. "Throw someone into the harbor water."

I'm providing a public service.

[That is true, but at the same time he can't help but wonder if that would really count.]

But are you sure you'd be able to withstand it? Maybe you could throw me instead...

[Protag's gotta protag.]

[Two protags staring each other down.]

You're a human aren't you? You'll catch a cold or something and I don't know how many doctors we still have.

I have ice resist. Some harbor water can't hurt me.

I also have ice resist...

[It's a protag down, but don't worry...he has a solution!]

...maybe we can play janken for the right to get thrown and who does the throwing?

Very well! Whoever wins this contest will be thrown.

[Maybe that's not the prize here, but Val has declared it as such.]
