So I seek you out, just to find myself

[parasolspinning]

Who: Shiro the Silver King Mage, and anyone else
When: All during the RPG curse
Where: Everywhere!
Style: Starting in action, will follow
Status: Open!

[Compared to the only other curse Shiro had experienced so far, this one was actually pretty nice. Odd, and the powers replaced by something else entirely was a bit disconcerting, but he was slowly starting to learn how to deal with that little hang up enough that he wasn't nearly as bothered as he thought he might be.

Plus he sort of liked the clothes he had been given for it. Different, but oddly comfortable.

That aside, there was only one other problem he was having - with Kuroh out of commission, and his lack of social interaction since the samurai had shown up had left Shiro without many friends he could ask to help him out on quests that very clearly needed more than one mere mage to take care of.

But he was a friendly sort despite his past, and willing to approach anyone that might be looking a little lacking in the party department, so at any point during this curse one might find themselves unceremoniously approached by a smiling teen with stark white hair and a cheerful question.]

Hello! You look like you could use a companion! Would you perhaps be interested in joining me on a quest or two?

[aprettyred]

... What quest?

[ True, she isn't wearing her normal dress, instead this odd slightly armored one, but Mr Silver King, you ought to recognize her still. ]

[parasolspinning]

[Oh! A familiar face! He wasn't expecting that, but it gets him to smile brightly none the less.]

Kushina-san! Good to see you're getting in to the spirit of things! I haven't really decided on a quest, but we could always look if you want to go with me?

[aprettyred]

Mmmn...

[ Well, Mikoto is asleep, and Izumo went off with Basashi-

Anna nods. ]

Maybe one.

[parasolspinning]

One quest it is then!

[Shiro offers a hand for her to take so they can walk through the moving crowd of residents and NPCs together. He wouldn't want her to get lost after all.]

[aprettyred]

[ It would probably get him in big trouble-

She blinks at him once before taking his hand. She usually only does this with a handful of people, you know. ]

[parasolspinning]

[He knows, but he also would rather not incur Suoh or Izumo's wrath if anything were to happen to her.

It's a good thing he's not actually who everyone thought he was, isn't it?

They approach the quest board, a good number of people milling around it looking for their own quests to grab.]

Hm. Bit crowded, but we should be able to get to it anyway.

[aprettyred]

[ A very good thing. Colorless is a big meany. ]

I will stay close.

[ She's good at tucking herself up against tall people. Mostly because Mikoto. ]

[parasolspinning]

[He really is. Shiro doesn't like him either.]

Alright.

[Oh look, an opening. And up to the board they go!]

Let's see here...

[aprettyred]

[ Lots of studying that board! Hmmmn. ]

.... Cookies. Or pulling weeds?

[ At least those sound easy but who knows- ]

[420]

[All in all, if Shiro wants a useful questing companion, he'd be better off asking anyone but Gamzee, but he did ask Gamzee, so... let this be a wise lesson to you, Shiro.

Dressed in his bardly regalia with his brightly coloured ukelele, he sure makes for an odd sight, but the smile Gamzee gives Shiro in return is cheerful and friendly enough.]

Hey, sure, dude! I'm down with that.

[parasolspinning]

[No one ever said Shiro made good life decisions.

And wow, yes, that... certainly wasn't what Shiro was expecting to see but alright, it takes all kinds or... something affirming like that.]

... well. Uhm. Alright.

[He's friendly, at least.]

I didn't have anything specific in mind, but we could always take a look at the board.

[420]

[Are you left speechless by Gamzee's amazing codpiece, Shiro? It's okay. It happens.]

Sure thing, my man, sounds good.

[And, cause he realizes he has never seen this dude before, he extends a hand then.]

I'm Gamzee.

[parasolspinning]

[Something like that.]

Yashiro Isana. But everyone calls me Shiro. It's a pleasure to meet you, Gamzee-san.

[Shiro accepts the extended hand, giving it a shake with a pleasant smile along with it.]

[420]

Nice to be meeting you too. But hey, you don't gotta be all making like with the san biznasty here, bro. Just Gamzee is fine.

[He remembers a little of what -san means. Wataru explained it to him a long time again and he just doesn't really roll with it. Respect is cool, but man, it just ain't like he is any sort of mister.]

[parasolspinning]

Oh, alright! Gazmee it is then!

[At least Shiro is accommodating?]

[420]

You wanna be heading it over at to the board?

[Hey, he wants to check, just in case Shiro's got any other plans here.]

[parasolspinning]

Yes, let's!

[Nope, it's all good. He's ready to go whenever Gamzee is.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie's decided to take herself out of the shadows, if only because she hasn't seem Shiro for a while. And besides, he looks really cute all dressed up like that. She appears to come from nowhere, and bounces along happily towards him, wearing her leather catsuit*

He-ey! Nice outfit!

[parasolspinning]

[O-oh. Selphie. That outfit...

Yeah, Shiro might be turning a bit red.]

Y... yours is nice, too!

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie looks down at herself with some uncertainty*

Really? Thanks! It's had kinda mixed results...

*Some of which she doesn't really understand, but she looks back up at Shiro with a smile*

So what are ya?

[parasolspinning]

Mage! Of course all of my King powers are gone, but I'm getting used to this set I've been given.

[Oh Selphie...]

... ah, I suppose I should... ask you the same question.

[booyaka_boom]

Really? Aw.. *She's looking at him rather longingly, really feeling her own lack of magic* That's still pretty lucky.

*Selphie smiles and gives a dramatic wave of her hand*

I'm a rogue! *And she points to the whip curled at her hip* That's basically all I've got.

[parasolspinning]

I see. Well, rogues can still be useful allies, provided they're on your side!

[He still wants his King powers back. They made things so convenient.]

[booyaka_boom]

Yup! We sure can! So you're lucky that I'd be on your side, Shiro!

*Selphie grins at that, enjoying the fact that others can see advantages to her new powers*

[parasolspinning]

That's good to know!

That said, would you be interested in questing with a silly mage? I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I have a few spells at least!
