[semi-open] 💣 they're gonna clean up your looks

[fullgauntlet]

Who: The PLUS ULTRA! crew & friends.
Status: Semi-open.
Where: The Mighty Explosion God Ship Bomb!! ship that is docked in Eltrut or Elah. Or the small cottage the crew owns in Elah.
What: A catch-all mingle log for March for the PLUS ULTRA! crew and any friends happening by. Some Manta Board quest prompts have been included too.
Warnings: Tba.

⛵ Like the rest of the ships around the docks lately, the explosion of sea slugs has taken over the hero's ship as well. It's covered in what seems like hundreds of playful and colourful sea slugs. They are all over the deck, climbing up the mast and leaving strings of sticky slime all over the place. The slugs will either need to be removed somehow or killed. And the sea slug slime mopped up...

If crewmates and friends are looking for partners to go harvesting underwater pineapples with the ship can also be found in Eltrut waters where the special pineapples can be found. Go swimming or diving to collect as many underwater pineapples for the ship stores as possible.




🌼 If not on the ship, the crew can sometimes be found at their small cottage on the paladin's leviathan, Elah. The cottage is small but happens to be well kept despite four very unruly and busy teenagers living inside it. They have a small garden growing outside as well as various plants and pots all over the terrace.

And they seem to be preparing to build some kind of new addition to the cottage soon too as there is a pile of stone and wood stacked up outside. And an apple-shaped sheep keeps walking around too. Baaah.

[!!!]

Kaveh!

[Sorry Kaveh, he knows you told him to stand back, but he can't when someone's getting blown up! He's a martial artist, he can't let someone get hurt or killed! So as soon as those set off, Ranma's dashing forward to try and 'save' the blonde man.]

[empyrean_mirror]

It's fine, Ranma.

[The light from the burst clears and--Kaveh's fine? Kaveh is completely fine? The bruise on his face is...gone?]

Bloom cores heal me. I'm alright.

[catsgothistongue]

[As the light faded and Kaveh appeared perfectly fine with no signs of getting blown to bits and pieces, Ranma stopped in his track and relaxed some.]

Oh. Could've given me a heads up first, jerk.

[He thought you were about to blow yourself up! Not that he cares or anything.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Sorry...I keep forgetting most people here haven't seen that.

[KAVEH YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON IN TEYVAT WHO CAN FUCKING DO THIS???]

[catsgothistongue]

It's fine, just a warning would be nice next time.

[Heal yourself by blowing yourself up with magic. Makes sense to him.]

...Sorry about your face again.

[empyrean_mirror]

It was an easy fix, so it's fine.

[SHRUGGING. But he does pause, and glance to the side.]

Best you don't mention it anywhere Alhaitham can hear, though.

[catsgothistongue]

... And that is...

[He still has no clue who that is Kaveh.]

[empyrean_mirror]

You tried to burn his fish, Ranma.

[Why are you both like this.]

[catsgothistongue]

Oh, the earrings guy!

[Like father like son?]

[empyrean_mirror]

Earpieces--

[You ever visibly see someone decide something just isn't worth it. Kaveh just. sighs.] Yes. Sure. Earrings guy. Will not like hearing about my face, so we aren't mentioning it around him, got it?

[catsgothistongue]

[Good Kaveh, you're learning.]

Why? What would he do?

[empyrean_mirror]

I don't know what he'd do to you, but he'd be mad at me, so how about we don't test this?

[DO NOT GET HIM IN TROUBLE, RANMA.]

[catsgothistongue]

Alright, alright. I was gonna keep my lips zipped on it anyway. Don't understand why he'd get mad at you for getting bruised up, but whatever.

[No promises.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Don't ask me to make sense of that man, I can't.

[Ranma don't rev up the tsundere. Don't do it.]

[catsgothistongue]

[You fool, they're both tsunderes.]

Considering that stupid fish he made a giant fuss of, don't think there's much of a brain to make sense of to begin with...

[empyrean_mirror]

[Hey, uh...

Do you feel an ominous aura, Ranma?]

...What was that?

[catsgothistongue]

[Does that 'ominous aura' include whatever's ticking Ranma's danger sense? Because if so, then a little.]

What was what?

[empyrean_mirror]

His lack of any kind of aesthetic taste hasn't got anything to do with his intelligence.

[You insulted the husband, Ranma. Kaveh has not stopped smiling.

Run.]

[catsgothistongue]

[... This is giving him an eerie sense of deja vu. He doesn't know why.]

Agree to disagree?

[Kaveh you got something on your face that's very concerning.]

[empyrean_mirror]

[Brightly, in possibly the most cheerful tone Ranma's ever heard from him:]

No.

[catsgothistongue]

[...]

Are... you upset?

[A surprisingly amount of observation from this socially dense jackass. Are you proud of him Kaveh?]

[empyrean_mirror]

He may be one of the most impossibly stubborn, contrary and sarcastic men you'll ever meet, but he holds a body of knowledge that surpasses just about anyone who isn't a god within Teyvat.

Which makes his horrid taste in aesthetics worse, for the record, he is quite smart enough to know better.

[He is very upset.]

[catsgothistongue]

... I'm sorry, are you agreeing with me or disagreeing with me?

[You've lost him Kaveh. You had him in the first half, but the other just went downhill from there. People are so confusing sometimes.]

[empyrean_mirror]

If you're going to insult him, be accurate, or don't bother.

[HMMPH.]

[catsgothistongue]

I just learnt what his name was today. [As blunt as a dull buttering knife. How's he supposed to be accurate when he doesn't know him as well as you, Kaveh?] I don't get why you're the one getting so upset about this, I wasn't even insulting you!
