Catch-all/open quest log
WHO: Keigo and quest buddies
WHERE: Around the town
WHEN: Throughout the month
WHAT: Kiss a frog, fairy godmother, and power swap quests
WARNINGS: ???
Fairy GodKeigo
[Keigo isn't taking any chances on technicalities. A fairy godmother is a woman, and while he can't do anything about not physically being one, he does have a certain costume at his disposal. It was the ultimate in humiliation the week he was forced to wear it, but now he tells himself it's insurance. His only other vague impression of fairy godmothers is they have a magic wand. He's carrying a stick. It'll have to work.
That takes care of the fairy godmother look. As for fairy godmother actions, that's about as fuzzy as the magic wand idea, but he thinks it has something to do with giving people what they want.
His own request would be for another tin of the quest reward ointment that could have warmed him up if he hadn't already used it all up.
Regardless, Keigo, in dedicated questing mode, approaches people with a swish of his wand (he thinks it's a swish - it's more of a hand spasm) and asks:]
What can I do for you?
Keiro Keiro
[Keigo has a lot of strong contenders for "worst moment of his life." Most of them involve social rejection or life-threatening peril.
But now, this. This is the worst thing. He's a frog and- No, that's it. He's a frog. It's terrible. Full stop.
(Various approximations of Keigo as a frog.)]
Power Swap
[Keigo's "power" is more or less the ability to see ghosts, which isn't all that useful here. You can start off by tagging his offer on the forum or handwave that they set it up from there. He wouldn't agree to a trade if the powers sounded dangerous or frightening, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him? Until it does.
Hit me up in a PM or at
nolno if you want to talk out details for this or any other quest.]

Fairy GodKeigo
She bites her lip to stop from laughing at him but it still takes her a moment to actually speak.]
A camera would be nice.
no subject
But her wish is the worst choice.]
How am I supposed to find a camera?
[Is there a time limit on fulfilling the wish? Because the only way he can think of to get a camera is to wait for another portal to open up into Karakura.
Huh...that's strange. His "wand" feels like it's almost buzzing in his hand.]
no subject
[She's mock-pouting.]
no subject
[As Keigo waves his arms in protest, there's a spark of magic from the stick, and a camera appears on the ground.
The problem is, it's not the latest model. It comes with five plates, and although there's no way of knowing this without trying it out, the plates will magically develop, so as not to make this granted wish a complete bust.]
no subject
...is that a camera? [She's not sure???
She's going closer to check it out but like...wow. Wow.]
no subject
[That is not Keigo's greatest concern, though.]
How did I do that?
no subject
no subject
[Or would he? It took him a while to realizing he was really seeing spirits when that power crept up on him.]
no subject
[She lifts the black cloth.]
How do you even work one of these things...?

Fairy GodKeigo
And, talking in person is far easier than typing over the forum.
Yet he was not quite expecting to be approached by Asano himself, and in such a costume?
Blinking and smiling awkwardly because he's not sure what to make of this, he straight-forwardly says,]
I was going to ask you about what would be involved in "acting as someone's fairy godmother"...
I'll switch to prose until some tag when I inevitably forget.
But the way he's not even mentioning the costume... It's like when something awkward is happening, like two people having a big argument, and you're trying to pretend it isn't. He's judging him, isn't he?
Luckily, helping Tonbokori understand modern life always makes him feel useful and knowledgeable, so that gives him something else to turn his focus to.
"You've come to the expert! Fairy godmothers are women in fancy dresses who grant wishes with their magic wands." All doubts are gone; the success of his first attempt at being a fairy godmother proved he had this right. That the wish didn't go exactly right is a minor detail. "And I don't know how it happened, but when Kaoru wished for something, my wand really worked!" He holds out the stick, in case there's any confusion on the wand point.
Thank you! <3
"I see! You truly performed magic? That is amazing! So acting like a fairy godmother is... to have fancy dress, a wand, and grant wishes..."
His fascinated smile turns slightly abashed for a moment.
"As you are a fairy godmother now, would you grant a wish for me? I don't particularly need anything, but, as a practical demonstration, and for the sake of completing a quest?"
no subject
"Ask for anything you want!" Keigo holds his wand with confidence. If he can make a camera appear he can do anything!
no subject
For now, a wish!
"Yes... How about, daifuku from your Japan? Your era is far beyond my experience - I would be happy to see what kind of daifuku you have."
no subject
He can already feel the stick buzzing with magic again.
"Daifuku, coming right up!" Picturing the treat in his mind, Keigo points the wand at the ground.
Just like Tonbokiri wanted, modern daifuku appear, modern packaging and all. Not quite like Tonbokiri wanted, they're made with ice cream.
And as an added magical treat, eating one will turn Tonbokiri's tongue the same color for an hour or two. If he questions Keigo on it, he will act like that's what they always do.
no subject
"Astonishing! Thank you very much."
Looking down at the result, though, he's not sure what to make of it.
That is, he can read the text on the package, and he sees the picture...
This is so exciting! Just as asked, a new kind! (He's trying to look calm, but his feelings are obvious.) Picking up the package he fumbles a moment before peeling the top open to reveal the nine little white mounds. And oddly-
"It's very cold." And without further hesitation he pops one in his mouth.
!!! It's so sweet, and creamy, but the mochi is cold and firm-!
"What kind of daifuku is it? Do you know?"
no subject
When Tonbokiri peels back the film, they look normal.
Tonbokiri is eating one like it's normal, if a little surprising for him.
They're safe!
"It's yukimi daifuku. That's ice cream inside."

Keiro Keiro
......You know, even if I know you- [And she's not sure she does.] -Screaming at a lady for attention is really rude.
no subject
"Yes, you know me!" is what he wants to say, but it just comes out as another screech.
He tries reaching out a froggy hand instead.]
no subject
With a sigh, she crouches down, remembering becoming a frog thanks to Kaoru and extends a fingertip to bypass that froggy hand and poke him gently on the head.]
.....Keigo?
no subject
But he's a frog. How did she have any idea it was him?]
SCREEEEEEEEE*
*Why am I your first choice for person who got turned into a frog?!
no subject
...I wonder if helping you is even worth it.
[Of course it is?!]
You don't have gold or a kingdom.
no subject
He flaps his arms in protest, which is a much less fluid motion in a frog body and results in a couple of hops.]
no subject
[Still sounding conflicted, she reaches out to let him hop on her hand.]
Well, I guess I have always wanted to watch a frog beg. So?
no subject
He's sure it's not a joke. When Shiho asks for begging, she's serious. But how does a frog beg?
In between squeaks he can't help but let out even though he knows he's not making real words, his poor control of his frog legs makes his attempts at supplication look more like he's cleaning himself.]
