( open ) a new adventure

Who: Sumina Heartleaf & you!
Status: Open
Where: Various
What: Settling in & MANTA quests
Warnings: TBA as needed


1. settling in / nogard
a. [ Well... Sumina can't help but find a bit of humor in being conscripted into the Corsairs in spite of her personality and nurtured allergy, and when she finds their base to be situated upon something that looks awfully dragonlike, she simply has to accept that the powers that be seem to want her to lean into her heritage a little more.

Regardless, she spends much of her time after the excitement of her arrival and the ensuing shenanigans wandering about Fang and geting settled into her new housing, getting acquainted with her surroundings, and visiting local businesess. She can be found simply walking along the streets, looking rather out of place with due to her demeanor and the notably un-piratelike clothing she still wears from where she last was. It might well make her a target for others with ill-intent, but perhaps not if someone were to accompany her... Regardless, she pauses in her steps, her (half) elven ear twitching ever so slightly at its tip as she glances over her shoulder. ]


Hello? Do you have business with me?

b. [ She would be remiss not to peek into The Naughty Gorgon, where she yet again sticks out like a sore thumb, yet somehow seems utterly unfazed by the fact that she's utterly surrounded by the chaos of an ensuing all-tavern brawl. Deftly ducking under a wooden tankard that's gone sailing through the sky, she gestures at an empty seat... perhaps one next to a fellow riftfarer. (You!?) ]

Pardon me - is this seat taken?

[ What is someone so polite and proper doing in Nogard... ]


2. good impressions / atnam / quest: life in colour
[ She's no detective by any means, but... This, at least, seems like a quest she can take, unlike many of the more... violent or thrilling ones. She's rather observant, and perhaps that will be useful in this investigation. That, and she's curious about the painting scene here...

Entering the painter's home with another who's taken the quest, however, makes her realize this is going to be thrilling in its very own way. She's not sure what she expected to find here, but there's something unsettling about the chaotic scene before her.

Shortly, she'll find her interest piqued by a painting not too unlike this one, her eyes widened in wonder, unaware as to what awaits her and whoever comes to look at the painting with her. ]


What a lovely painting...


3. respect the brussel / atnam / quest: every day i'm brusselin'
[ Food-related quest. Or at least, produce-related quest. This she can definitely do!

...Though maybe not, because... She's standing in the middle of this strange little farm, holding a vial of the supposedly magical growing potion, staring at the column of brussel sprouts waiting to be picked and tried. ]


Did... Did you happen to catch what the farmers said? Something about little green men popping out?


3. maiday / naughtilust / quest: maid day mayday
[ Okay. Well. She's no stranger to the ole "suddenly put into an outfit not of your own choosing" gambit by now, at least, otherwise this would be considerably more upsetting. As it is, Sumina's maid ensemble isn't too drastically different from what she typically wears as an innkeeper, but still... It's the principle of it all.

She doesn't appear to be very interested in the, uh, festivities, and is very much trying to look Respectfully whenever she makes eye contact with anyone, and trying to ignore the absurdly high slit on her skirt as best as she can. What she cannot ignore, however, are patrons trying to get handsy with the service workers. As a service worker, herself, she won't sit idly by! Needing a bit of confirmation, she leans over to someone nearby and clears her throat. ]


Sorry to bother you, but... does it seem to you like that guest over there is staring the staff a little too much?

[ She tries to gesture at the troublemaker as subtly as she can. ]


4. spill the seaweed / eltrut / quest: sipping on seaweed
[ Another food-related quest! Yes!

...Only, no. This one's a strange quest, too. Why seaweed, of all things? Into tea? Wouldn't it be better used as a base for some sort of soup...? She's no chef, but she's learned she's what would be considered a "foodie," and trying to make seaweed tea is ridiculous.

Though she has to at least try. Taking a sip of the tea without any fruit additives to accompany it: ]


Oh, that's... [ her features pinch tight as she frowns. ] No, about as awful as I'd thought. What fruit could complement this...


wildcard
( phew! that was a lot of prompts, but if you're still hankering for something else or want to mix things up a little just hit me up on the game discord! )
recluserose: (As if glasses make you seem smarter)

3, crawls in here brusselin'

[personal profile] recluserose 2024-05-14 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[The (familiar) redheaded and bespectacled woman stands next to Sumina and narrows her eyes, not at the half-elf, but at the potion she possesses. Combined with what the farmers told them, this whole brussels sprout enterprise is becoming more trouble than its worth.]

You've heard them correctly. Apparently the vegetable itself is perfectly normal and delicious, but the prospect of tiny green men as a side effect is enough to make anyone second guess.
recluserose: (Don't say so much/show me)

[personal profile] recluserose 2024-05-23 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Amelia blinks. Was it just her imagination or did this young lady recognize...?

... No. It's probably nothing. She dismisses the notion just as quickly as it appeared. It helps that the other woman's dangling sentence allows her to introduce herself.
]

Amelia. Amelia Steinbeck.

You don't have to call me Miss Steinbeck unless you plan on being under my tutelage. As it stands, we are both learners in this new environment.

[She points at the vial Sumina is holding.]

And as you've said, there's only one way to find out.

recluserose: (You're all idiots)

[personal profile] recluserose 2024-05-24 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[If it's ever brought up, Amelia would probably raise a brow and be filled with mild curiosity. Maybe she'd have a question or two about being in another world and yet have no memory of it. But for now, the witch is none the wiser and they got gardening to deal with.

With a roll of 91... Sumina's application of the potion is effective almost immediately. Amelia kneels down to peer at the blooming sprout and it looks normal at first until the leaves grow bigger and in between each leaf...
]

Oh! Well, that answers our questions.

[Little green men, the size of their thumbs are climbing out looking rather mischievous.]
recluserose: (Why do I have a harem)

[personal profile] recluserose 2024-05-29 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amelia grunts and starts to scoot away, but the little green men are rather persistent in poking and pinching her ankles. Some are even heading over to Sumina to do the same thing. Rude!

But then, the witch very calmly and very vindictively...

Starts to scoop up some dirt and then proceed to cover up the green men until only their head sticks out and despite all the protesting she presses down the dirt aggressively.
]

What use are these if they're just going to be a bother?
recluserose: (15)

[personal profile] recluserose 2024-06-06 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
The Feywild? Hm.

[The little green man whose head was patted wrinkles its nose at Sumina and sticks out its tongue.

Amelia packs in more dirt around him.
]

So far, this world and other worlds from the sound of it sound much more openly magical than mine. I'd like to hear about this Feywild later when we're not so busy... Ah.

I don't think I've caught your name?

[Also don't mind her, she'll just be gently shoving mounds of dirt over other green men who are quickly finding out not to mess with this redhead.]
