Who: G'raha Tia + You
Status: Open
Where: Various
What: MANTA quests
Warnings: TBD



💎 Cat Kneads

[ What can G'raha do other than support a fellow feline? While he cannot, you know, condone all of the thieving. However, it seems like this individual is going to open a legitimate business! Good for him. G'raha loves trying new foods so why not?

He has a treat in his hand. Ears wiggling. Tail swishing. G'raha looks quite excited to try any and all samples. ]

Everything smells rather nice. I'm willing to share the spoils, of course, as I doubt that I can sample them all.

[ That's probably a lie. However! Feel free to pick whatever pastry or bread item you want. ]

💎 Graven Trinkets

I have no idea what we'll find. Though that is what is so thrilling about it, hmm?

[ How can one be a Corsair and not ransack a sunken ship? The items that are rumored to be here are, of course, questionable... Though it's for that reason alone that G'raha would prefer to find them before someone else with a malfunctioning moral compass does.

Yet it's likely a little funny, watching a cat seeking water like he is. ]

You can stay here on the ship, if you'd like. I may not look it, but I am quite capable.

[ He's more than happy to take a dive! ]

💎 Tributes for Elah

[ Fingers tap at his chin in thought. In the water below, there are several shrimp that even he can see milling about. Just minding their own business. The real question - ]

How are we to catch and transport them...

[ No, they aren't particularly aggressive. That's why he's able to watch them like this. G'raha is eying some of the smaller ones, but they are still nearly as large as he!

...And G'raha Tia is not. An overly. Tall... Individual. ]

💎 Wildcard

[ This is your free space area. Don't like any of the prompts above but want to thread with G'raha? Hit me with anything. Additional ones I am interested in are: Touched By Mothlight, The Scales We Shed, and Chicken Run. If you want to plot something out, reach out to me at verthunder on both Discord and Plurk. ]

Comments

[onpaintofdeath]

[ She's honestly impressed they even have a croissant. But is it any good? The French girl might argue 'non'. She hums as she looks over the other options. ]

Tell me how it is.

[afflatusexarch]

[ Sorry, there won't be an opportunity for that. Why?

Because the moment he takes a bite? Poof! Gone. Vanished! ]

[onpaintofdeath]

What--

[ She looks around, confused. Is this a trick? ]

[afflatusexarch]

[ He's gone! Nowhere to be seen!

But then, just as suddenly... G'raha is back. Blinking and touching his chest. Then laughs. ]

Oh, I see! What a charming effect.

[onpaintofdeath]

[ She jumps a little at his "return". That's not normal, right? She looks at whatever might be left of the croissant he took. ]

Wait. What happened?

[ Suddenly, she's a little less interested in these pastries... ]

[afflatusexarch]

[ He waves the croissant around. ]

It would appear that these tasty things are not only delicious but they also have an enchantment baked into them.

[ G'raha is so amused by it! ]

[onpaintofdeath]

[ She looks over the other pastries wondering if they do the same or other things. It doesn't really seem like a good idea. ]

Do you think all of them have these enchantments?

[afflatusexarch]

I think so, aye. That would be the reason that our little furry friend would ask us to sample his wares. Rather than purely for taste, he is likely trying to find a marketing niche.

[ He takes another bite - because it does taste good. So once more G'raha poofs and then reappears after thirty seconds. Unbothered. ]

[onpaintofdeath]

Niche.. right. That's one way to put it.

[ She is curious what the others do but.. maybe not that curious. ]

Does it even taste good?

[afflatusexarch]

[ You know... This girl really does remind him more and more of Alisaie in many, many aspects.

The croissant is half hanging out of his mouth as he nods! ]

[onpaintofdeath]

[ She'll give a small shrug. Why not? It can't hurt to try.

She takes one of the baguettes and tries to take a bite but. ]

Aïe!

[ She holds her mouth. Did she break a tooth? No? ]

I thought you said they were good. It may as well be a rock.

[ Her words are muffled behind her hand as she rubs at her jaw. ]

[afflatusexarch]

[ Ears perk up! Had she just the misfortune of pocking out something disagreeable? G'raha tilts his head. He holds his hand out for the baguette. ]

I was unaware that there might be bread that would be too hard to eat. This one doesn't seem to be an issue?

[ Well now he's digging through his bag to see if there are any others that might be inedible. ]

[onpaintofdeath]

[ Even as she hands the baguette to him, she's still rubbing at her jaw. ]

Well, you're welcome to try it but I think I'm good without anymore pâtisseries.

[ Maybe it's supposed to break your teeth. But she doesn't really want to risk trying more. ]
