A-questing we will go

[thalassino]

Characters: Carol and all of you people
Location: In front of the castle that was once the Station Master's house
Time: Afternoon!
Style: Up to you lovely people!
Status: OPEN; threadjack and spam at will. Carol will be fluttering around reluctantly.

[If any Vatheonite takes the time today to take a look around the castle, they will find a very, very grumpy fairy godmother fluttering around.

Look, it's Carol, in full-costume and fluttering her wings and looking very sour indeed.]

Play along, he says. Grant wishes, he says. Ugh!

[She looks like she might snap that wand, oops. But she's also fluttering next to a crude, poorly done sign that says Quests for heroes!

...Maybe she'll give you a quest if you go talk to her?

ooc: let's get some questing going, Vatheonites! No fairy tale is complete without a plot, right? If you have a quest in mind, you're welcome to use this log to play it out and get people in on it; just mark the subject line Title of quest | Location | Open/Closed. If you don't have an idea for a quest or would like to talk to Carol, that's perfectly fine too; just mark those threads with Castle to indicate where your characters are! She'll only be sticking around the castle, so she won't be going on any quests with you guys.]

Castle

[Shizuo recognizes her from the video a while back. He's still decked out in the attire of a huntsman, complete with his ax. He approaches calmly.]

Hey. It's you.

[thalassino]

And it's...you...

[A blink.]

Who are you?

[a_violent_end]

Shizuo Heiwajima.

[Shizuo shrugs, as though that's not very important.]

I remember you from that video. The one that made everyone worry.

[One of them, at least.]

You didn't have wings, though.

[thalassino]

I was trying a new look. D'you like it?

[The sarcasm just drips from her tone.

...]

But yeah, that one video. Whoops, I didn't think it'd cause such a stir.

[a_violent_end]

Guessing you're not too excited about your job.

[Let him just state the obvious.]

That doesn't make you all that different from us, I guess.

[Though she technically works for them right? He's not too sure. Shizuo isn't the best at keeping track of all the SFC drama.]

[thalassino]

...Good guess. What was your first clue?

[A sigh and she shrugs.]

Look, the wings are cool but the glitter's a mess.

[She flutters a wing to demonstrate, the glitter getting over everything.]

So break the curse fast, alright?

[a_violent_end]

[A small cringe at all that glitter. Yeah, he can tell that it's annoying.]

How?

[Sorry, but Shizuo was under the impression that breaking the curse was some hero's job. Something about love or whatever - he didn't really watch that video in full.]

I did try to find a princess the other day...

[thalassino]

[....sigh.]

I seriously don't know how. But how'd that princess searching go, then?

[a_violent_end]

It didn't really get very far.

[It's hard to get a group of people all on the same page when it comes to roaming around a forest.]

I also helped some lost girl in a red cape.

[He shrugs again.]

I don't think those are enough to really make any difference, though.

[thalassino]

[...blink. Blink.]

...Right. Okay, so...you didn't accomplish much of anything, then?

[a_violent_end]

[Okay, now he's getting irritated.]

Have you even been out there? It's a mess. I'd like to see you accomplish things instead of floating around here getting glitter on everything.

[thalassino]

[....tch.]

I am playing my role, okay? Deal with it.

I can't affect this curse. Only you foreigners can.

[a_violent_end]

[Narrowed eyes.]

Foreigners that aren't me. The ones with the magic and stuff like that can find out how to fix this mess.

[He folds his arms. It's not that he doesn't want to get rid of the curse; he does. It's just that he doesn't think it's his job to do it. Clearly, there are more qualified individuals.]

What's the point of a quest?
