Complete Mini Game Blue Sky Bluer Water

[Raid Boss]

A-ha-ha... What are you talking about @Schilva Flasch? Of course Goldbeard is still alive!

That's literally the crutch of this entire fishing competition! What ever would we do if he was dead?

Steph seemed completely in tuned with her belief. Goldbeard has got to be alive, right? Right...?

For the first time in a long time, the redhead experienced dreaded self-doubt.

Regardless, she cast the line overboard and hoped for the best. They will, no doubt, get 100,000 Meliodashi over the next few days. Just in case they lose. Steph is convinced of that.

[Lune]

Her effort is not wasted as it looks like she has caught one already. "Oh, this one is pretty good. It should sell for a high price." Moonsong exclaimed as she recalled one of the harpoons she conjured with arcanamancy. She went to @Chrys, who's currently chilling alone with what looked like a very poor excuse of a fishing apparatus. "What's with the tacky shirt? Are you forty or something?"

She noticed a purple-haired girl beside him. His friend, maybe? Muttering something about patience. "It's the other way for me. Not being patient with anything seemed to get me what I want." She resumed conjuring and shooting countless harpoons in a successive manner that might be dangerous to anyone diving in the sea. "Oh, forgive my rudeness. I'm Moonsong, an acquaintance of Chrys." The girl extended her hand to @Ayna Nietzsche.

[Pandora*]

Nin

"I have never felt so naked in my entire life. Such a subtraction in clothing and multiplication of skin should be outlawed. This wind's momentum of 11 knots shall surely increase and divide my hat from my head!"

The MIT researcher held on to her hat for dear life as she stood in swimwear that was forced onto her by Elynn. It would have been impossible to accomplish if not for the safety tube added to the outfit. Also... the ocean and the fish therein eventually were too strong a lure for the scientist to resist.

Staying as close to the center of the ship's deck as possible, Nin sat on a beach chair with several devices around her. One was wiggling in the air like an antenna with numbers flashing at random at its rounded base. Perhaps measuring the wind gusts?

Then there was the bucket where Nin was storing fish she collected for analysis via a Fixer that did the nasty work of fishing by the possibly polluted water.

Then came a gust as expected...

Nin's nonhuman ears were on full display with no camouflage... surely no one would notice.

▣ Attire: Look

[Ilusa Nakhalee]

Dressed in a modest suit that also looked like a dress when not in water, Ilusa stood still on the deck of the cruise ship and her face had a small, gentle smile plastered on it. Plastered, because right now, she had this sudden urge to come over the redhead who organised this event and throttle her and shake her, because what the actual fuck.

Her ears and tail were carefully kept still and the only reason why her fur was not standing up was because of the self-control she had over herself.

The torrent of emotions, jealousy and rage churned inside her with none the wiser as it should be. Ilusa was furious that this UI locked player was gambling with Astorea's treasury, she was angry that she spoke with Astor when things kept getting in the way of Ilusa finding him!

She also knew that her reaction was disproportionate to what was happening, she knew that he reacted like that because she missed him. And as everyone hurried to start fishing, Ilusa took that time to gather herself.

Quietly seething, she took the fishing apparatus and got to fishing.

[Hyakin Heliodoros]

"What a love-tale!" Among the crowd, the muscular man dressed in a form-fitting almost full-body swimsuit (actually the underpart of his armour which also doubled as a swimsuit) yelled while his eyes were gleaming.

…Even if he felt bit unsure about the whole thing of this being also a tale of a sort of emotional infidelity and threat towards the treasury.

"Still, that's a bit irresponsible to bet the treasury… I'll inform someone about it later" He murmured, before the excitement for competition chased this away. "Alright! For the Happy Ending!" And he went fishing with a bright, bright grin, because this would be the first time he would actually fish! Never before had he had the chance to so he took it happily!

"Let's defeat those pirates! FISHING!"

▣ Attire: This basically
▣ Meliodahi Caught: 15

 

[Brutus Dahlgren]

"I'm up one so far." Brutus would reply sipping his drink and motioning to his bucket with the one fish in it. "How's your luck Honey Bun?" His eyes flitted to @Askera Question who looked remarkably relaxed and gave gim a nod. Returning hie gaze to his line he'd frown.

"Its slowed down buut eh, there's a reason its fishing and not catching"

@Toko

▣ Attire: Trunks, Tanktop and like, a floral shirt that's open.

[Askera Question]

Today's catches included at least one fish that everyone else had been looking for... as well as several others that they weren't. Some of the fish he had caught were... cursed? Was that the right term for it? One seemed more like a wiggling, writhing set of coral than it did an actual fish. After careful examination and knowledge granted to him by living on a coast his whole life, Askera determined that it was tenatively still a fish, abeit a strange one.

"It is likely an ambush predator of sorts. I do believe that, were I a fish, I would certainly be dead. It seems to display similarities to a lionfish-several small spines on it, of which probably hold poison of some kind. My UI tells me that it's cursed, though... perhaps it stores black magic of some kind..?"

What a frightening thought. Why would a fish have black magic in it?

[Jester]

As she pulled back a sizeable catch of golden-scaled goodness, she was challenged by the blue-haired @Ronja Bubblyfoot to a friendly competition. With a friendly flip-up of her random helmet visor, she readied her line for casting. "If it's a contest you wish for..." She gave her line the bester-est Jester-est cast she could manage. "Then Jester will have to fish more~!"

Two-word rhyme settled in, she gave a handless tip-down of her previously raised helmet visor to @Luthien as she too came to hang out in the good energy. "¡Cuantos más mejor!" She blinked a couple times. "... If I recall correctly!" With a giggle, the wannabe teacher continued. "Also nice play on words, saying 'sea' to the sea!"

Jester leaned back and continued to wait for whatever golden menace pulled on her line, hoping for one so big that it would pull her off the side at this point.

▣ Attire: A striped bikini that Jester wished covered another inch or two, but hey she rocks it (also helmet visor for style points).
▣ Meliodashi Caught: 16

 

[Harper]

Turns out that Harper wasn't going to be fishing alone, after all. Her ears would turn towards the magia calling her, the beastkin meeting Ronja with a smile. She'd pull her bucket towards @Ronja Bubblyfoot and @Jester, it sadly still having not seen so much of a speck of a Meliodahi. That was about to change though! The beastkin could feel it.

"Heh, sure! I'll bite on that challenge. Though..." She'd look at the magia's advanced harpoon gun and then back at her fishing rod. Truly, the wonders of magitech. She'd open her mouth to say something, but would close it with a confident smirk. "...You know what, you'll need all the advantages you can get against me. Now let's fish!"

She'd throw a quick wave at both Jester and @Luthien , two that she hadn't seen before but assumed were Ronja's company, before throwing her line into the sea once more, confident that her luck would change any moment now.


▣ Attire: White and Black tiger-stripped bikini.

[Cidney Cometfall]

Cidney had come out on a long trip. While it pained her to leave behind her home-in-progress for a while, she couldn't say no to the invitation she'd gotten from @Luthien , @Jester and @Ronja Bubblyfoot . How long had it been since she'd gone fishing, anyway? It had been at least two years since she'd started working in a landlocked region of Africa.

It seemed like everyone had taken the chance to come in a swimsuit, but she hadn't done the same. A hot summer day was enough of a chance to let on some looser clothing, but it wasn't as if she had anyone she wanted to impress. She had decided to just wear something more comfortable that a set of work clothes.

Cidney thought that the three would be friends by the hip for this vacation, but it seemed that they were off doing their own things from the competition's start. She was fine with that-it gave her just a bit of time to enjoy some 'her' time with some fishing.

[Toko]

.

.

"Same as yours, only one fish so far..."

She was somewhat disappointed when a tug on her line lead to a now missing bait and no prize, carefully hooking a new one before casting the line out back over the side of the massive ship. Hot surprisingly her summons to the researcher seemed to fall on deaf ears, though the hare didn't seem offended at that—after all she had long since learned the man could become really engrossed in his research... and today was probably no different.

There was a way of communication though that Toko was pretty certain the man wouldn't miss, however, and she did have some questions that needed answers...

[Luthien]

.

"Oooh, look at you~ I didn't know you spoke a bit of Spanish, Jester!"

There was a chuckle as the fellow elf mentioned an accidental play on words from the blonde, the comment enough to chase away the sting Lúthien felt as her line came up empty once again from another tug. "Though you'd use 'cuanto' instead of the plural form you picked... although in my island we'd often say 'mientras más, mejor' instead." As to why that was the ranger couldn't really say, she wasn't exactly a language teacher after all, but Lúthien wouldn't be surprised if it varied depending on the latino culture attempting the same phrase.

"Hey... where's Cidney?"

She'd realize then there was a member missing on their little group, eyes moving from Jester to Ronja questioningly as Lúthien wondered if perhaps they had spotted the other Magia already. Likewise the blonde hadn't caught sight of @Vashti yet... wondering if perhaps the vixen hadn't signed up for the fun.

[Haru]

There wasn't a day alive that Haru didn't consider wandering off to explore somewhere. Today, he had given into that very impulse and taken himself off to sea.

Alone.

He'd done it before, and there was nothing for him to really worry over. The ocean held little harm for the man who was a constant ripple. Currents merely floated him along in his cool floatie, and ocean predators wanted nothing to do with such a frightening presence as he. The only true danger were his own needs, and even those were few for that which he was now.

To his surprise, he ran into a fishing boat. Haru could see many familiar faces up there, even though he frankly hadn't wanted to see some of them. A melancholy filled the man as he remembered those who did not wish to see him.

Perhaps he'd continue to relax in the ocean for now. He didn't need to leave anytime soon, but the ocean was nice and relaxing to stay in. The sage continued to drift, half asleep underneath his sunglasses.

[Cynna]

I thought we were just going to be fishing but I guess there's a whole backstory attached to it. Neat.

Cynna was in high spirits. She'd always been excited to try fishing. Her unbelievably gaudy sunglasses seemed to shimmer to match her high spirits. With the briefing done, Cynna was checking out the deck. During her wanders, however, she spied someone that she was sure matched the description of someone famous. It was none other than Nin of MIT. (@Pandora*)

There's a surprise...

Approaching, Cynna waved.

"Hiya~ Nin was it~? The super famous researcher of MIT that solved our little madness problem~? I'm a big fan. You know~ laying out with the gadgets is nice and all but if you're interested in a little practicum, I've brought a spare rod. I'll be over there next to 'The Thinker' he seems pretty fun. Oh, I'm Cynna by the way~ nice to meet ya~"

Waving, Cynna made her way over to @Askera Question and plopped down.

"Hey there~ whatcha thinking about~?"

[Kamala Graham]

‧͙⁺˚･❀･˚⁺͙‧

Finally, some peace and relaxation!

Kamala was just glad to be there, except next to her friends, @Chrys and @Ayna Nietzsche, and maybe others if they end up joining them soon. She was too focused on actually fishing to notice anything else, eyes wide in delight and lips curled into a grin that reached ear to ear. It was the most fun she's had since, well, dying. There were less insects in the middle of the ocean than on land, so that's something she keeps telling herself to chase away unwanted stress and anxiety. Plus, they were helping someone!

"This is so fun!"

Kamala had bolstered, in a way, her fishing apparatus with her own magic, making it more natural than artificial, in hopes of tricking the fishies into coming to her instead of the others. It wasn't that big of a deal, though. It was all for fun, right? Fun, fun, fun!

Yet it did not work! Sad!

[Brutus Dahlgren]

"Askera looks like he's having a field day" The giant would muse bouncing his rod up and down impatiently. "Glad that everything is biting over by him, maybe we should go sit by him?"


As if to disprove his theory his line would tug and he'd net another fish. "Or not..."

[Jester]

Jester put a curled finger to her chin with her elbow propped on her other arm which she crossed over her lower chest. After a few moments of staring in intense deliberation, she gave a nod at @Luthien's correction. "Exploration of Spanish colloquialisms was always an interest of mine! Though I can't exactly travel on Earth anymore... but that's fine! Maybe we can-" The fishing rod she forgot to actually hold onto flew off the side of the ship with a yank. "-Hold that thought." And over the side she dove.

A few moments later, she ran up the side of the ship and somersaulted back over to where she was before, soaked head to toe in sea water as she reeled in an empty line, which she re-casted. Then she started giggling merrily at her failure.

"I'd love to study language more, but a pin in that we'll put, for I'm in a competition with @Harper and @Ronja Bubblyfoot!"

▣ Attire: A striped bikini that Jester wished covered another inch or two, but hey she rocks it (also helmet visor for style points).
▣ Meliodashi Caught: 21

 

[Askera Question]

Askera had no need to keep focus on his line all the time. If something would bite, his legs would feel it well enough. His hands and eyes kept watch on a notebook that he was writing in.

[The Meliodashi appears to have teeth sharp enough to rip through softer metals. I found this out when one ate some of my gold before dying. Further studies will conclude whether...]

[Chrys]

《⋯《 ⋯ ❖ ⋯ 》⋯》

Fishing.

Chrys just nodded at @Ayna Nietzsche as he let out another yawn, discreetly checking her out. While he remained calm and collected on the outside, he was pretty much enjoying the scenery on the inside. Very nice. He shot @Kamala Graham an apologetic look next, mostly because she hasn't caught a damned thing yet, but internally, he was very excited at her swimsuit. Finally, he turned towards @Moonsong, trying his best to maintain eye contact while stealing glimpses of other things.

"Tacky? I thought it was appropriate, given the circumstances. Then again, fashion has never been an easy thing for me. Should I take it off?"

Fashion, among others things, like life and maybe fishing, can be so hard. So hard like a rock. So very hard like a mountain. Fortunately for Chrys, he was the rock and the mountain and the earth beneath their very feet. Unfortunately for Chrys, they were in the middle of the ocean and those things do not float. He wondered if he would fail to do so as well. Am I made of rocks in this world?

[Ash Vargold]

It's the nature of fishing to spend long hours sitting around. There's never a guarantee you'll catch anything.

Still, Ash can't help but impatiently watch the water, tail thumping, and wonder why everyone else is being so noisy. Aren't they going to scare away the fish at this rate...?
