[🐦 a. spirited by spirits; nogard]

[While Joshua wouldn't call himself a particularly superstitious kind of person there is something about ghosts and spirits that picks his interest. Having spent much of his younger life with his nose buried in books he finds the tales and stories fascinating. So, seeing the ghosts real as day in front of him is almost a ... delight.

One of the roly-poly ghosts seems to have picked Joshua as a target today. Instead of sneaking up on him, Joshua has the small round ghost following him around like some sort of inflated balloon.]

Well. Hello, little one. Curious, aren't we?

[He reaches up to almost touch the ghost but he doesn’t quite do so. Something about how it peers at him so readily is a bit peculiar too.

Care to play with ghosts with him?]

[🐦 b. even woodier rarities; eltrut island]

[There's something a bit relaxing about simply planting trees. He's planted about a row of three saplings so far and he’s sure that he will be able to plant more. It somehow relaxes Joshua to do so even if he has no power over how fast or well they might grow. He might be able to warm the soil so the autumn's chill doesn't hurt them? He’s not sure.

Joshua is busy crouching down to plant another lemon tree sapling with a small wistful smile on his face.]

If it weren’t for the direction of my life, I might have enjoyed being a part-time botanist.

[He will be happy to have someone join him for tree planting. And maybe sharing the wine as a reward as well.]

[🐦 c. fowl language; elah conservatory]

[Now here is a quest that Joshua is very interested in. Ever since hearing word that the paladins have an entire conservatory full of creatures, relics, artifacts and more... He's wanted to see it. But being on the Stormbringer has made that difficult. Once he hears of the dare to sneak into the conservatory Joshua takes it upon himself to try just that. If only to see the creatures inside. And surely not tell his brother about this...

He can be found on the outskirts of the building, having snuck in with a blue cloak around his shoulders and the hood up. He tries to appear like a paladin scholar who might be travelling from far away. He just hopes his acting skills are up to par.

Joshua would be happy for any other corsairs to join him in sneaking in. Any paladins are more than welcome to catch him in the act.]

[🐦 d. wildcard]

[Feel free to toss anything else you might need with Joshua down here. He can often be found browsing shops in Nogard or reading books on docks or on the Stormbringer. I am also open to any bounties or bottle messages. Yo can find my ooc plotting post here for more or find me at michrure!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[There's a small arch of a brow before he grins widely.]

Not much of a request. That's a given.

Yes, in part.

[...]

I would also like to ask for your aid in finding a way to destroy Ultima.

[Somewhere down the road... With this ship, they intend to steal.]

[...Ah. Just a knowing nod.]

Another thing you don't have to hesitate to ask.

[He's also keen on getting rid of it, both for Joshua's sake and also so he can have a better taste of revenge against that damn thing, an echo or not.]

[It would benefit the whole team. Joshua can't guarantee he'll survive such a heavy endeavour but ... well, he will revisit that when the time comes.]

Thank you, Cid.

[He truly appreciates it.]

[As if knowing what Joshua is thinking, Cid looks him over before he reaches out and roughly ruffles the top of his head.]

No need to thank me for something like that. Only natural that we'd help each other out, eh? Especially when it comes to that thing.

[Ruffle ruffle that ends with a bob of Joshua's head before he finally releases the young Rosfield.]

We may not have known each other for long, but I consider you as one of my own. Only natural I'd want to help where I can.

[The ruffling... For a moment it reminds him of his Uncle Byron. He didn't realize how much that would make him miss his family like that. Another thing to be grateful to Cid for. Bringing all of them together again. And it seems it'll be happening again here in this world.]

Hmm. Even still, I owe you a world of gratitude. If there is anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to ask me as well.

[A light grin at his persistence. Ah, a true Rosfield with their stubborn honor. Not like he's one to talk.]

Then I'll be sure to put you to work when I think of it. And speaking of work—

[He glances at their little tree.]

Just needs some water and I'd say this one's a job well done. Onto the next?

[He smiles gratefully.]

Onto the next.

[And with that the plans are set and the trees are planted!]
