geese catching - akira n ignis
They're supposed to be catching a bunch of geese and taking them back to the town; what happens after that is beyond him, although a part of him is entertaining the thought of cooking at least one of them, or something (maybe after they bring it back, although the question is -- are they going to still taste like ash?).
Glancing over at the other two, Noctis comments. ]
Uh. So, either of you have experience as a birdcatcher?
no subject
[Akira fiddles with his bangs, trying to think of a good way to do this. Maybe if they had a big net or something? And something to attract the geese to them... what do geese eat? He realizes he doesn't know for sure. Grass? Bugs?]
Be nice if we had a big net.
no subject
[He can sense that this is starting to head in the direction of an "Ignis, instructions", however, so rather than await the inevitable, he opts to just work ahead and head things off at the figurative pass.]
Likely we'll stand a better chance at moving them in scenarios where we outnumber them. So perhaps, rather than taking on the whole flock all at once, we might try a method of "divide and conquer".
no subject
[ It's a great thing Ignis is prescient, because that's exactly what is about to happen. Noctis looks to him, then to Akira. ]
D'you know where we can get a big net? I've got rope and string here -- I'm thinking once we catch them, we'll need to restrain them, and make sure they're alive and not... all flappy and angry and bitey.
[ Geese can be giant jerks, just saying. ]
no subject
[After all, what better place to keep a net than a harbor? If they search the old boats, there might be a fishing net around somewhere.]
A cage would be nice too, but...
[Harder to find.]
no subject
[The harbor seems like as good a place as any to start, though.]
Well, what will it be? Shall we go investigate Bluo, as suggested?
no subject
It looks sturdy enough not to fall to pieces if those damn birds attack them, but not thick enough that it would be unwieldy. ]
All right, this? What do you guys have?

spider killing - ignis
When Ignis joins him just outside the woods, Noctis cracks his knuckles; this quest is going to be as good a distraction as any. ]
Ready to kick some spider ass?
no subject
[Is this really a topic of conversation we're having? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS.
...Or is that, you butt-er believe it is? Heh-heh-heh.
Still, with a flash of blue magic and a sound like glass shattering, Ignis reaches into the air and abruptly draws his spelldaggers from the armiger, holding them loose and easy in his hands.]
Regardless, I'm quite ready, thank you. The sooner we eliminate this menace, the safer the town will be for it.
no subject
[ Noctis asks him bleakly; the question of philosophers and all. Ignis can be pedantic sometimes, and while Noctis often learns new things that he probably hadn't intended on learning -- like the deeply unattractive real name of spider butts, he can't help but tease him about it sometimes.
At least, until his innate sense of curiosity kicks in and he decides that he wants to know more, like: ]
Is that where they shoot their webs from?
[ He asks softly, Ultima materialising in his hand the same way the spelldaggers are in Ignis' when he tugs them from the armiger. It's graceful to watch, really, knowing how deadly dangerous Ignis is with them even if his grip is loose and easy. ]
no subject
[How he says that with a straight face, the world will never know. But regardless. Now sufficiently armed and ready, let's proceed forward into the woods, shall we?]
no subject
[ Noctis says with an equally straight face. He nudges at him before he's heading right into the woods together with them. And the change happens almost immediately -- there is a very heavy air in the woods, and are those webs? Thin and high up in the trees, and he tenses when he hears soft women's laughter not too far away. ]
no subject
[His arm comes out like a barricade when he catches his own glimpse of the webs, and when the sound of the female voice starts to echo; carefully, but with the sort of quiet strength that leaves no room for debate, he stops Noct with an outstretched arm across the chest and motions for silence, trying to gauge the direction the giggling is coming from.]
Keep watch above us. Our prey may try to get the drop on us — quite literally.

geese catching - dex n izuku
They're gonna work this out, right? ]
Hey. I'm Noctis.
[ He greets the other guy with a brief wave and a flicker of a smile. Spot, the black chocobo patiently waiting around behind Noctis, is starting to groom his feathers. ] Oh, and this is Spot, he's decided to come with us. You guys ready?
no subject
Then, he turns his attention to the chocobo, looking fascinated.] Did he come with you from home? [Completely unsubtle, Izuku shifts closer in hopes of petting it.]
no subject
[ Spot makes a soft kweh, leaning forward to nudge against the new guy's shoulder, clearly entirely shameless about getting pets. ]
no subject
but! anyway! dextera can see that izuku wants to pet the chocobo, so he takes the initiative here and pats spot's beak—like he owns this bird, though it's more like the chocobo owns him. get your pets in now, izuku, because chances are the geese won't be nearly as amenable to being touched.
izuku and noctis, huh... it'll be an interesting adventure, but dextera imagines they'll come out of it mostly unscathed. ]
no subject
[He breaks off with a soft laugh as Spot nudges his shoulder. As soon as Dextera makes the first move, Izuku joins in, petting along the chocobo's head and neck area happily.] And you, too, Spot.
Should we head out? I, um...brought some nets. For taking the geese back with us. [From the dubious way he says this, Izuku doesn't know how helpful those items would actually be. Especially when it comes to anything that lives in the forest.]
no subject
Yeah, c'mon.
[ But he's giving the nets a curious look as they start off towards the general direction of where the geese are. ] Huh. Maybe we gather them all into one net, then toss the second net around them? Do you have rope? I was thinking we could muzzle their beaks first.

spider killing - guren
And could possibly get one killed. Making sure to be as quiet as possible, he pauses when he hears a soft, slithering sound. Glancing over at his companion, Ultima Blade materialising in his hand in a heartbeat, he stiffens. Just as easily, his trademark easygoing nature and reticence falls away, replaced with a seasoned warrior, attuned to his surroundings.
Did he hear that? ]
no subject
[Guren's voice is low, just above a whisper, his own hand on the hilt of his blade. How many of these things would there be in this forest? He was curious about this, as well, and so he'd agreed to as many outings as he could.]
Her approach can differ. Watch out for webs.

There they are. One right in front, the other two at the side. Women. They're beautiful, unnaturally so, and they're sidling closer, approaching them both with soft, silken greetings. ]
Three on two. This'll be annoying.
no subject
[Guren is already drawing his sword, his lips quirked into a wide smirk. Once the blade is free from its holder, he flicks it to the side.]
Lend me your strength, Mahiru-no-yo. [His aura seems to change immediately into something far more powerful, and it doesn't seem like he cares if they drop their seductress acts and go full spider on them.]
Whichever you go for, I'll get the other two. Let's go!
