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

💎 Spirited Away

[ It really shouldn't come as a surprise to see a very red cat strolling around Eltrut. It even has a little scarf about its neck. G'raha had wanted to see if the spell actually worked.

It does.

But apparently he is going to spend his time just basking in the wonderful sunlight. Snoozing. Looks like he is about to get some much needed rest!

Unless... ]

💎 Starships ( Close CR Only )

[ G'raha has everything that is needed for this little joint adventure. Parchment. Writing utensils. A compass. Even current star maps. He seems a little excited for this, apparently bringing snacks and a blanket along. ]

I wouldn't say that this is a particular skill of mine, charting the stars and all. Or cartography, for that matter. Yet the idea of new stars appearing in the sky is exciting, is it not? To think that, somewhere, a something new has been born brings about a sense of hope.

[ At least it does for him. How can anyone refute it, with the way his tail swishes and the gleam in his eye. Really, he just wants to look at stars like the helpless romantic sort he is. ]

💎 Book Bites

[ Anywhere that books are stored should be considered a sacred place. After all, it is a place of learning but also a place where knowledge is kept and stored for future generations or those in need. So to learn that something has been eating the pages is nothing short of disastrous.]

Now where could the creature responsible for this be?

[ At the present moment, he is following what appears to be some bit of a chewed up paper tail. He's looking under one of the reading chairs. Tail wiggling around as he tries to see proper. ]

💎 Get Shirty

[ Now the real question is... Who would have wanted to have switched clothing with G'raha?

The answer might be more simple than you think, since he is grabbing onto the hands of the person near him. Holding them with bright eyes that are just begging. ]

Surely a bit of fun is permitted? Doubtful you could tarnish my reputation in any way...

[ Alternatively... Perhaps this scene has already played out. Now there are consequences to allowing G'raha to switch clothing with you.

The consequences are - well he has been playing pranks. Harmless things, but enough that people are starting to get exasperated and maybe it is time to stop? ]

💎 Everybody's Grudge

[ He had heard of these strange Tonberries from Zack and others. But the reality is, he needs to see it with his own eyes. ]

I wonder... If these individuals are cursed as well?

[ Since that is how thing are back where he hails from. Still, as unfortunate as it might be? They might not have a choice regarding whether or not there is a need to take down this Tonberry. ]

💎 Wildcard

[ If nothing strikes your fancy, you can just hit me with whatever or tell me to write a custom starter. I'm down for it. Or you can hit me up @ verthunder on Plurk/Discord. ]

[It doesn't take too long for Alhaitham to find the switch (he'd followed the circuit since they were rather easy to spot), and once he has that handled its just as easy to retrace his steps back to where G'raha is even in the now much dimmer lighting.

By the time he's back most of the setup in the area itself is already done, so Alhaitham helps out with the rest. Once everything is fully ready he goes to their hiding spot and settles down easily; he's never minded waiting too much, though the lack of sufficient lighting does make him unable to read as he waits, which is a bit of a shame. But its just something he'll have to make do with.]

[afflatusexarch]

[ Well he could likely read, G'raha could, but truthfully... He has his eyes closed. Ears twitching and moving at every little sound. What he prefers to do is focus, to be able to pick out every little scratch and scrape. Every rustle of fabric and...

His ears perk. And he begins actively tracking a sound. ]

[indispensable]

[Given the fact that they both need to focus Alhaitham wouldn't have read anyway, though its also clear enough to him that G'raha has a much better than to handle this compared to him. He makes it a point to keep his own breathing as quiet as possible when he sees the other focusing, doing his best to not make any noise that might mess this up.

It takes a bit, but eventually he sees the way G'raha's ears twitch and perk, the action reminding him a lot of the stray cats he'd see around the Grand Bazaar when they spot a mouse or something along those lines. He doesn't ask what G'raha has picked up on, simply trusting it to be the creature that they seek, so he keeps his gaze narrowed in the direction of where the other is looking at. Of course, it would be best if he didn't have to move, but he will if it becomes necessary, such as if the creature strays too far away from the area they intend to keep it within.]
