Tavros was practically bouncing with excitment when he noticed the quests just ready for the taking, clutching his staff in hand. His face cast in shadow, he's recognizable only by the fact that his horns stick way out of his big, floppy hat. So maybe being a mage wouldn't have been his first choice when it came to character classes, but he was still itching to go on a real adventure for the first time in what felt like forever.

So he tugged out his SFC and immediately tried contacting the people the thought would actually have to most fun doing something like this with him. Every good quest needed a proper adventuring party to ensure it's success!

Summoner didn't take too long to respond or meet up, he had already been in the area to back in contact with someone who issued a bard only quest. Simple, but hey it passed the time, got him 'points' or something? Either way he's nearby and gives Tavros a smile and a nod as he draws near in his own unconditional attire.

"Hey kiddo, keeping busy?" Said with a wide smile as he props his violin over a shoulder in a manner one should never really hold a violin. He gives Tavros a fond smile, noticing the outfit he's wearing, only having known it was him because of those dashing horns he's still sporting.

Hey, anyone drops Gamzee a line asking him if he wants to hang, and of course he was gonna say yes. Okay, so hang in this case meant go adventuring, but he is down even for that! Sorta like that big game they all played a sweep back (well, from his point of view at least) Sure that had kinda lead to some not so funky things, but they'd had some great fun too playing it, right? Well, Gamzee had at least, getting to hang with his bros and all that.

So, after Tavros' message it doesn't take him too long to show up either, wearing...

God, what is he even wearing? He's digging it though. He doesn't actually realize that it is his godtier outfit (having never gone that far) but man, what bitchtits comfy jammies. So soft. And that codpier. A+, would wear again. He's got a bright and colourful ukelele slung on his back, raising a hand in greeting first to Summoner -- "Hey man, bitchin' rags." -- and then at Tavros -- "That you, my bro?"

Nepeta comes bouncing in last of all, strangely enough - or perhaps not so strangely, considering that her moirail is now capable of great big hugs without squeezing the stuffing out of her! But after some long-needed cuddle time on both their ends she'd hopped off to join her other well-beloved red quadrant and their friends.

"Hiii!" She flings herself at Tavros, knowing her matesprit's scent no matter what he was wearing - and of course the horns helped too. Her own rogue outfit is surprisingly practical next to some others, but she'd really wished they'd left her her kitty-hat at least. "Hi Gamzee! Hi Lysunder! This is so exciting, isn't it?!"

He grins and rushes over the Summoner when he arrives, excited by the process of going out on an actual adventure with his ancestor. Unfortunately, he had to leave his own wings back at his hive. The outfit he was wearing didn't much allow for them to be attached to his back. It sucks, but he legit has these sick fires so he can still do awesome things to be proud of. "Hey! I found something fun, that we can all do!"

Gamzee, needless to say, was a complete distraction due to being large and purple and what was that things he's fondling, oh my god.

But Tavros laughs when Nepeta jumps him, nearly dropping his staff and falling over in the process, though there's a moment where he's still caught staring at Gamzee's outfit because. Yeah. Wow. What? He clears his throat then points back over that the quest board.

"There are quests, that need conquering! And, uh... we should be the one's to complete them and gain rewards!"

Well Summoner's wings are kinda- attached, so that's not really a choice. Which isn't so bad because this outfit has slits in the back for them, pretty nice! Too bad the outfit's just... not, his thing. Summoner gives Tavros a wide smile, putting a hand on his hip, the other still clenched to the neck of his violin.

"Oh yeah? Well it's uh, gotta be pretty fun if it's something you picked out, eh?" Yeah Gamzee's... uh, crotch piece does not go unnoticed. But indigo's and cod pieces always seemed to go hand in hand. GHB's wasn't so- in your face the majority of the time, more metal, for protection, but it's definitely something Summoner's used to as far as Gamzee's blood cast goes.

"Yeah been getting to a bunch of them myself, keeping kind of busy heh. What we looking for then if you haven't picked on out." Moves to the board, leaning down a little to take a look. "Gotta find something two bards can handle, hey Zee?" Glances over to Gamzee, giving a wary kind of smile at that outfit again.

Gamzee, for his part, doesn't seem perturbed either by walking around looking like a got a giant boner here --if troll boners indeed would look like that, who even knows-- or the fact that everybody keeps glancing at it. All that matters is that it is beautiful.

Gamzee just flashes Summoner a thumbs up. He isn't too invested in whatever quest they end up going on. "I'm chill, man. Just be pickin' whichever does all be catchin' your motherfuckin' fancying. I figure, a couple of choice bros like us and ain't not a motherfuckin' way shit isn't gonna go fine."

"Something without too much fighting purrhaps! You can pick if you want, Lysunder, it's fine with me too..."

She stares, finally having caught sight of Gamzee's spectacular codpiece. Quests fade to the background as her brain seems to come to an abrupt halt, and she voices exactly what everyone else has been thinking but hasn't yet said.

"Gamzee, what is that?!"

Leave it to Gamzee to completely derail a situation just by existing in his natural state of being. Tavros rubbed the back of his neck under his giant hat, the dark shadows it cast hiding the expression on his face as his friend struts around with a large, plush proboscis from his groin.

Just bobbing along without a care in the world.

"It's, uh... kind of distracting."

And it was making him kind of uncomfortable.

While you the cod piece enjoys all the attention it's getting, Summoner will be at the quest board, looking around for something that might be a good fit for them, chuckling a little as he listens to the lot of you comment about Gamzee's dashing hip fashion.

"Hmm-" Still looking...

"Ah- you guys wanna go on a find and retrieve? Some guy's lost something important to him. There's bandits involved." A wide smile, glancing back at that.

"If we can drag our attention to something else, besides Gamzee's crotch I mean, heh heh."

"It's my new fuckin' digs. Tight as fuck, right?" Gamzee is looking rather proudly at his railbound mass-transportation vehicle wreck of an outfit. He even turns a little so the weird cape made out of streamers flaps behind him. It is just perfect, and so utterly comfortable. Seriously. Like the comfiest pyjamas imaginable.

He pauses at the distracting comment, before finally nodding a little. He gets it. "I get that, bro. Had a motherfucker stare his eyemeats dry too when I did all get my gander on at the extend of my own motherfuckin' self in the mirror at." A happy, dopey smile. "Sometimes miracles just get to being too motherfuckin' beautiful."

Seriously, you guys. Maybe they should just ignore the giant purple velvet codpiece in the room and go back to questing. Cause Gamzee sure isn't gonna get how his outfit might be somewhat uncomfortable making.

Nepeta quite literally facepalms, dragging her hand over her features. Gamzee. Really. No, she can't even be surprised.

But Summoner is quite right, they need to get along with questing!

Even if that codpiece isn't going to be any less distracting any time soon.

Tavros gets a comforting pat to the arm before she sidles over next to Summoner, looking up at the board with him. "A fetch quest! Oooh, and bandits! That sounds purrfect for us! Let's do it!"

Tavros perked up again once Summoner started up about the quests, and he practically bounced back over after grabbing Gamzee's arm to drag him along.

"That is, the exact quest I was looking at! It has, many things that will make it fun, and rewarding for all of us to do!"

"Fetch quest it is then. That okay with you, Gamzee?" Of course it's okay with Gamzee, but hey, still polite to ask.

Summoner looks at the information about the quest a bit more, where they should head, and who to contact, before turning around and smiling, hands on his hips.

"All right, apparently it was taken by something called kobolds? Any of you nymphs figure out or uh, come across something like that yet?"

Gamzee lets himself be dragged along happily, and once still, he winds the arm Tavros used to pull him around his bro's shoulders. "Sure man. I got no objections at that."

Beyond that he remains quiet, giving a little shrug at the word kobold. Nope. Never heard of it. Not like he reads a lot of fantasy books or fairy tales.

"Kobolds...hmm, no, I don't think I've ever seen anything called that before! Okay, purrhaps we should split up into two teams so that we search even faster! And as soon as we find something that looks out of the ordinary and might be a kobold, we'll call the others to come and join us! What do you think?"

She is bouncing with energy, ready to rush off as soon as they've finished planning their course of action.

"I don't know, myself. But maybe we should just, talk to people, and gather information and lore on kobolds, before getting confused, and maybe chasing the wrong thing and causing a mess."

He leaned against Gamzee, trying very hard to keep his eyes up at Summoner and not let them fall into the distraction of the majestic codpiece. It was like it forced all attention to be focused on it at all times.

"Good idea Nepeta, small teams, solid tactic. But be sure that if you find the people that stole the thing, don't just run in there, turtling'll be important if fighting ends up being inevitable, not good for just two of us to wander in there alone." A glance to Tavros.

"Yeah, probably best. Uh, why don't we all try to ask around a little, I imagine even just people nearby can help. Once he figure out what exactly we're looking for we'll start the real search. Heh, uh, think of it more as aid though, and uh, less like a direct penetration." So information gathering, then teams, seek out, regroup, and hopefully flank, with intention towards finding whatever this... gem is, before really getting into too big of a fight. Better to get in and out after all.

After they just figure out what the heck kobold's are.

Guess who didn't really understand or follow any of that? Yeah, it is this guy. Gamzee is not exactly a strategist. And neither does he have any experience in doing this, like Lysunder and his actual war experience or Tavros and his FLARP experience. Instead he just kinda stands there and zones with a happy enough experience on his snout.

Though, when everybody has stopped talked and he realizes that maybe they are waiting for him to say something, he pulls back to the present. The last thing he remembers hearing is... teams? Yeah, something about teams. So with that in mind, he squeezes Tavros' shoulders for a moment. "You wanna team up, man?"

Nepeta wilts a little when it sounds like her plan isn't the best of ideas, but she soon perks up again when she realizes they'll be carrying it out anyway, just later.

She'd thought of teaming up with Tavros herself at first, but once Gamzee claims him she happily pounces on Summoner instead, looking well-pleased with her partner. "Lysunder and me can go together, then! Where should we start with asking for information?"
