Sola's Quest Log

[replicatedcourage]

Who: Sola and any other intrepid heroes
When: All this week and next
Where: Everywhere there's a quest and some places there aren't!
Status: Half open (Ajar?) Details below.

[The second Sola discovered the nature of the bubble's new game, he hit the ground running. Quests? Potions? The chance to help everyone and be a hero? This is definitely right up his alley!

This week and next Sola can be found running around more than usual. He's even taken up residence in the "Inn" for the duration, sleeping there every night instead of at his own house. The innkeeper will be happier that way, right?

Sola will take on any and every task and in order to find them all, he's going out of his way to talk to everyone, so he can be seen conversing with NPCs a lot. Y'know, when he's not out fighting wolves for their teeth and shanks, delivering a message for a lazy shopkeeper, or cleaning up in front of the bakery every damn day this week (rotten kids!). Of course, some of these quests he needs help with; what's a warrior on a group quest without some support, right?]

((ooc: Sola's all about the level grinding for this curse! If anyone would like to help out/ complete a quest with him, please just comment below with the quest title in the link. I'll set up a few that I've already worked out with people (as such, those are closed to just the people in question). The threads don't have to be the quests themselves, they can just be talking after, or setting up to go out! And don't be surprise if Sola mentions something about the coral to every single one of you.))

[Shaking off zombie fish guts off his fists, Arty goes over to Sola in worry to make sure he's not about to collapse. In the meantime, Darkleer goes to fetch the sword.]

You know, I think you've most certainly earned this, Sola. I'm not sure what we would have done if they actually managed to spread out their focus.

[replicatedcourage]

[Nothing a health potion or smashing a few jars for hearts won't fix.

Sola smiles at Arty then looks over when Darkleer starts talking to him.]

Really? Thank you!

[Yay loots!]

I wonder if it's magic. I bet the quest guy knows! We have to turn in the map anyway so let's ask.

[He uses his shield to steady himself, then pulls it onto his back to begin the trek back to the quest giver. Not gonna waste that health potion unless he's seriously about the keel over. They're out of danger now, anyway! And besides, they can pass through the plaza and he can get some heals from the jars.]

((ooc: Should I link NPC back here so we can continue in the same thread?))

[aim_exorable]

I suppose he would, yes. I'll have to pick up some paper to write down everything they've seen. I wonder if he knows anything about the undead that were there as well..

[With Arty on one side and Darkleer on the other just until Sola gets one of those jars he follows after.]


((ooc: Sounds good!))

[replicatedcourage]

[The journey back is thankfully uneventful and Sola's able to smash a jar or two in the plaza for his health item. Yay!

By the time they're walking up to the bearded man to fork over the map, the Hylian is back to his overly excitable self.]

((ooc: Linked it up. They'll either reply to me there or the NPC will hop in here, either way /o/))

[thalassino]

[The bearded man sits in the plaza awaiting their return, guitar on his lap and stylin' Hawaiian shirt acting as a beacon who all wish to find him.]

What did you find?

[aim_exorable]

Well, most notably, there were a group of undead mermaids which were rather... possessive of a sword.

[He's still writing bits down, but after a moment, he hands it over to him.]

We were hoping you might know something about it.

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola watches intensely as Darkleer hands over their booty.]

Is it magic? I bet it's magic! Swords you find on quests are always magic!

[thalassino]

Hmm...

[Strum~]

Down by the bay,
I found a zombie horde
And in the middle
I found a sword!

No, that's not quite right...

[He looks at the sword, disappointed.]

You don't need two swords, do you? Here.

[The bearded man reaches out and touches the sword. It glows, and then... vanishes into Sola's sword! Sola now does extra damage to his boyfriend the undead.]

[replicatedcourage]

Wow!

[Sola steps away a bit and swings the sword experimentally a few times before returning to the conversation.]

That'll be really useful if we go against any other zombies! Thanks, mister!

Did you need help with anything else?

[thalassino]

Well, I am curious where that map leads. Why don't you two boys check it out?

[Sorry Darkleer, everyone is a kid to this guy.]

[aim_exorable]

[...Sigh, it's not the most embarrassing thing to be said to him.]

It certainly seems like a good enough use of our time. Shall we go, then, Sola?

[replicatedcourage]

Sure! I wanna see where the map goes too! Maybe it leads to more treasure!

[He is just so very into this.]

[aim_exorable]

Alright then. Let's see... Do you know how to read a map?

[Darkleer does, but after their talk last time, he wants to let Sola know he can do a whole lot more.]

[replicatedcourage]

I'm really good at maps. I even make maps sometimes.

[When he'd first got settled in the bubble he'd spent some time running around and exploring every nook and cranny. He takes the map and gives it a long, scrutinizing look.]

Hmm... It's pointing towards the forest to the north.

[aim_exorable]

Really? You have quite a useful skill.

[The forest, huh? Darkleer rubs his chin.]

I've actually already been there, twice now. First with Summoner, then with Tifa. Hopefully the wolves will know better than to attack us.

[replicatedcourage]

The one on the island? Well, I'm not too worried about them. You're a beastmaster anyway, right? You can just tell them not to attack us!

[Sola rolls up the map and starts back for the elevator, turning to wave at the bearded man as he goes and promising to tell him what they find, or even bringing some of it back if he can!]

[aim_exorable]

...Right.

[That worked so well last time... Eurgh. He decides not to tell Sola. He just focuses on getting them to where the map leads after the elevator takes them upwards. There seems to be a lot of vegetation.]

At least it is reassuring to see the forest back to its usual green state. It felt strange with so much snow here.

[replicatedcourage]

I prefer the trees green too, but snow on the ground is pretty fun. You can make snowblins and have snowball fights and even mix it with colored syrup and eat it!

[Johnny taught him that last one. Delicious! He wishes he could have snowcream right now honestly, it'd be nice...

He's gonna fantasize about that as he hacks their way through the bushes.]

[aim_exorable]

I see. That's certainly interesting. You'll have to show me it the next time snow falls then.

[Who knows when that will happen or if they'll even still be there, but Darkleer knows to keep his pessimistic thoughts to himself.]

It looks like we're nearly there, so keep an eye out, alright, Sola? We don't want to be caught unawares.

[replicatedcourage]

Sure! Johnny showed me how to make the best snowcream so I can teach you.

[He gives a nod to Darkleer's warning, sword and shield at the ready.]

I wonder what we're looking for, exactly...

[aim_exorable]

It could be anything. That man wasn't really specific..

[Kind of annoying, really, but what else is new about this curse.]

Alright, just a few more steps and we should be in the general area. [A pause as he looks around.] I'm not seeing anything particularly out of the ordinary, are you? Besides a lot of fruit, it seems...

[replicatedcourage]

What are these, anyway? I thought fruit grew on trees? Besides pumpkins. Are they green pumpkins?

[Sola bends down to pick up one of the strange round fruits and looks surprised.]

They sound hollow!

[aim_exorable]

They have a different shape than pumpkins, Sola. They look like a kind of melon...

[Wait, hollow? Well that's a new one. He kneels down as well to see for himself.]

So they are. Perhaps this is what the map spoke of? They could have some sort of unique trait, or a purpose.

[replicatedcourage]

Melons?

[Hmm...]

Maybe they're magic too? We should take back a whole bunch!

[aim_exorable]

Well, it's the only thing we can clearly see, so unless the items depends on a time schedule or is buried, perhaps it is worth a try.

Arty, if you could...?

[The musclebeast holds out his arms. Load him up!]
