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.]

Five little kitties sitting in a tree | All over | Closed

[bestestfurrend]

I think I smell one!! Yes, yes I do! We're on the right track!

[Nepeta-in-Boots runs a few steps forwards, boots thumping against the ground and her cape flying out behind her, showing off her bright, lustrous fur. She remembers her companion after a second, coming to an abrupt halt and twirling around on one heel to face him, not wanting him to fall behind.]

[420]

[It's okay! Gamzee is close behind. Summoner had been right when he had said it was easier to walk on hooves if you went a little quicker. So there Gamzee is, prancing walking just a little quicker than usual, still a bit uneven on his hooves. It would be easier, maybe, if he wasn't used to having huge clown feet. These little hooves just didn't measure up.

When he gets close enough, he drops a companionable arm around her shoulders.]

You got one fuckin' amazing sniffnode, sister.

[bestestfurrend]

Heehee, yes, I do, it's the best!

[She fistpumps the air in celebration of having sharper senses than ever - she loved being a cat and sometimes feels as if she's never been anything else.

This may also be why she's so quick to rub her head against Gamzee when he drapes an arm around her.

Actually no, that's just Nepeta being Nepeta.]

We're going to save alllll the kitties!

[420]

[He lowers his head enough to bump it against hers, rubbing back. Hey, that was something that goats did, right? Headbumps. He laughs happily, though it sounds a bit more bleat-ish than normal.]

Gonna be fuckin' heroes here, you and me.

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta approves very much of this cat and goat headbumping! She gives off a rumbling purr, snuggling against his side - no, she needs to concentrate! Snuggles later!]

The most heroic heroes efur! They'll tell stories about us!

[420]

[Later there will be all the snuggles! In a pile of kittens.]

Fuck, maybe some brother will done put some sick rhymes together about the shit what we are gonna pull.

[bestestfurrend]

[And getting Nepeta to ever leave the pile will be a quest in itself!]

Oh yesss. That would be amazing! But we'd better go find the kitties furst!

[420]

[Maybe they can ask Tavros to rap about both the daring kitty rescue and the equally daring extracting Nepeta from the kitty pile undertaking.]

Aight. Can't all be lettin' them lil' bros stay stuck up there at.

[bestestfurrend]

[There will be much yowling and scratching. And Tavros will be able to keep time with all the sneezing from the cathair she's sure to leave all over the place.]

I think it's just a little further down this way!

[And she's off again!]

[420]

[And he is more than happy to follow! They will save those kitties and be the best heroes. The very best.

unless Gamzee gets distracted by something shiny. Always a danger.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta will keep him on track! Unless he waves the shinies in her face. Then they'll really be in trouble.

And what's that? The sound of mewling? Coming from above? Nepeta thinks it is!]

[420]

[Hopefully they will never encounter a ball of yarn. The results might be devastating... ly cute.

At the mewling, Gamzee's long ears swivel upward and he comes to a stop, looking up into the tree tops. Is that a little tiny kitty face he can see there?]

[bestestfurrend]

[Perhaps they'll only discover it once they're also in possession of the kittens.

Yep, no one is ever getting Nepeta out of that pile.]

I think I see one! Can you lift me up to see better, Gamzee?

[420]

[the problem here is not her weight. It is the fact that walking on hooves feels like walking on stilts. And his balance, as proven by his unicycle shenanigans, is not the best. Still, he is willing to try.]

One motherfuckin' boost all for my best sister coming up.

[He grabs her around the waist, in an entirely utterly gentletroll like manner that could never incite the wrath of any huge horsey moirails --like Equius would ever wrath at him anyway-- before he lifts her up, digging his hooves into the dirt to try and having more stable footing.]

[bestestfurrend]

Wheeee!

[For a second she forgets their quest, purring happily at being picked up. Luckily she's got a good sense of balance, helping to hold her weight so as to keep him on his feet the best she can.]

Yes, yes, there's one up there fur sure! I can see it! Oh, it's so small and cute!

[420]

[He gives her a little extra boost, trying to peer up past her body.]

Can you all be reachin' that lil' bro?

[bestestfurrend]

[She waves her paws in the air uselessly; the kitty is still a good few feet above her.]

No, I'm afuraid not! He's still too high fur me to reach!

[420]

How are we up and gonna be gettin' way the fuck up there?

[A concern has been spotted by Gamzee! Ten points!]

[bestestfurrend]

Uhmmmmm.

[Noticing that it's going to be a problem is already enough of a contribution from Gamzee, now she has to think...]

Asking him to jump down to us purrobably wouldn't work, I think he's a bit scared.

[420]

I'd all up and catch the lil' bro if he weren't in such a fright.

[He really would! All the kitties could land on him.]

[bestestfurrend]

That's so nice of you, Gamzee!

[She's going to lean down to try and get a hug in now. This is not the best idea for their balance.]

[420]

Woah.

[Yeah, it didn't do much for his balance at all. They go down with a whoop, though it is mostly a harmless fall. Just a little bump to the rump, ain't no biggie.

Gamzee blinks at Nepeta from where they have fallen, once, twice, and then he starts laughing, hugging her back properly.]

Woah, clown down.

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta is laughing as well, curling up on him just like a real kitty would, and giving him all the hugs.]

Whoops!

[420]

[He just continues to laugh in a odd mixture of laugh-honk-bleats, reaching up to pet her happily. She is the best kitty.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Kitty-goat cuddlepiles, this is the best quest ever!

...they were trying to do something before this, weren't they? A tiny mew draws her attention and she looks upwards.

Huh. The kitty has apparently grown jealous of all the petting going on and made his own way down the tree!]
