manta board + may catch-all
Who: eizen and you!
Status: open
Where: various places!
What: manta board quests + catchall for may!
Warnings: will add as needed!
a. maid day mayday.
[celebrations and traditions can be a damn good time. eizen's not one to jump in on the fun of dressing up as a maid, however. sitting by the bar with a glass of good whiskey and watching the entertainment go on had been more than enough for him.
that is, until some of the bar staff approached him with a request. some of the guys here were getting WAY too handy. most could be dealt with but one seemed to escape notice after said touching. the vanishing perv. someone needed to catch this guy and teach him some manners. the bartender said eizen looked like he'd be a perfect fit for the teaching role. eizen couldn't disagree, especially not with the promise of some free drinks for the hassle.
the best way to land a big fish is by using the right bait.
anyone who comes into this particular tavern will quickly notice one of the maids is especially tall, especially muscular, and is in the process of slamming a guy face-first into a wall with arm twisted beind their back.]
Bold of you try that with the Reaper. Want to test and see if you can do the same thing with a few fingers missing?
b. sipping on seaweed.
[impressive. that's all staff who created these teas can say as they watch on. most people try a few teas and call them bad and leave or actually find a good one. nothing new. what WAS new was someone trying to drink one of their teas and failing. there's no better word for it.
eizen came in earlier because this seemed like a simple enough of a quest. figuring out which brew sounded best shouldn't take too much effort. true to that, he actually found one that smelled good, sounded good and even looked good after brewing. it needed to be measured out JUST right and then steeped JUST right, as teas tend to require. upon request, he did as much himself using a very lovely tea kettle and cup set. but ah, the effort of doing it himself was worth it! the result smelled divine. eizen grinned triumphantly at the brew. this HAS to be delicious. as he lifted the cup to his lips--
it shattered in his hands, drenching him in hot tea. no worries. he only brewed it somewhat hot so the burns were minor. those can be worried about later. he got a second cup of tea--
and the cup had a hole in the bottom and spilled all over the table. ok. usual bad luck no worries. he grabs a PERFECT cup and as he reached to pour the rest of the tea, a random sharkgull flew into the store and specifically picked up the tea kettle with the rest of the tea and then flew away with it all within the span of 5 seconds.
the staff was impressed by this ungodly level of bad luck and agreed to bring out another kettle for him. said second kettle exploded as soon as the tea finished brewing.
and, just as the third kettle of tea finishes brewing and eizen reaches for it, it... spontaneously combusts??]
Oh, are you kidding me?! How the hell can TEA catch fire!?
[reaper's curse, sure, but come the fuck on!]
c. elemental energy survey.
[gathering elemental reactions. why not? being a malak means understanding elements better than most. factor in this is kaveh's request and eizen's happy to help out with that. within limitations of his curse, that is. thunderstorm outings will end up with him eating a face full of lightning sooner rather than later and any water outings are a flatout no. the easiest and safest route ends up being going out on a more windy day to gather some wind energy. wind, unlike say water, is fine.
as fine as it could be, at any rate. the butterflies, overloaded by the energy, end up spazzing around and zooming all over the place. them moving around like little bullet trains beats explosions. if you're not careful though, one of these littles might slam right into you!]

Nah, that's what makes better! It's like... what's it called? Culinary presentation thingy.
[That's totally what it's like. It's like setting fire to alcohol as you serve it. Just with tea. How one does something like that, he still doesn't know. But hey, armed bandits suddenly bursting in and doing whatever hooligans do at a tea shop, would make this whole scene complete for Mr. Golden!]
Heh, gives it a whole 'nother kind of flare beyond just boring, old tea.
no subject
[he's all for culinary flare but only if that flare means he can enjoy the culinary creation. whatever he crafted HAS to be good for the curse to deny him the taste of it to this degree. eizen makes a face, one that's a mix between a pout and a look of determination, at the scorched spot on the table before he turns toward the staff.]
Hey, bring out another kettle!
[the staff all look at each other before doing as asked and going to find said kettle. it may be futile, but he's nothing if not stubborn.]
Either you luck out and get another show, or I luck out and get to drink it.
[...even if he's not holding his breath for the latter.]
