Who: Joshua Rosfield + you
Status: Open
Where: The Roost, Eltrut and Nogard.
What: An open log and a catch-all for all things March. Some manta board quests and open prompts.
Warnings: Tba.

[ 📌 a. the roost; closed to the hideaway crew + adjacent cr]

[Since Joshua's brother Clive's sudden departure into the rifts, a certain gaggle of brightly colours birds have been left behind to manage. While the crew has divided the work up thus far, Joshua feels as though the task of taking care of the island's local chocobos should be mostly his responsibility.

Now he finds himself in the middle of the makeshift pen holding out two very large, very juicy radishes out like they're vegetable-shaped swords.]

Now... Please. Let's try this again, shall we? Please be gentle when taking your treats.

[The chocobos are starting to coo and whistle sweetly at him. But they're also starting to crowd in closer and closer... And it looks as though Joshua is going to be mauled under a mountain of feathery friends if he doesn't get a hand with feeding them soon.]

[ 📌 b. manta board: out of the blue]

[Joshua may be aboard The Enterprise, The Stormbringer or any one of the neutral ships for this quest while going out to sea in search of the ever elusive and rare gemstone sharks. The early springtime air is still chilly on the wind but it's a beautiful sunny day for trying to find some exotic or dangerous fish.

Although, Joshua isn't sure how dangerous they will actually be or not. When he sees one swimming serenely through the icy water, he can't help but to watch it with some awe. And these creatures are certainly worthy of awe.]

It seems almost a shame to capture them...

[📌 c. bounty: bear necessities]

[On Eltrut, Joshua is on a mission to help track down and apprehend the thief that has been stealing ... women's panties. It's an outrageous crime and one that should be stopped immediately!

... Please ignore the way his face is blushing mad?]

We must find this man and force him to face the reality of his crimes. Immediately...!

[Perhaps Joshua has a personal stake in this bounty? Maybe someone took- his undergarments. Not that he would ever admit such a thing since he is not, in fact, a woman!? He is a gentleman!]

[📌 d. wildcard;]

[got something else? feel free to put it down here. or you can find me at michrure for more planning]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He's working on getting the second pod free when they offer to tend to his arm. Normally he'd tell them to leave it, but this world has been doing strange things to his body. Chaos energy currently locked from him, he wonders if this place effects his ability to recover from wounds like this as well. How irritating if that's the case. Would mean changing how he normally handles things in order to avoid others feeling the need to help him.

After a moment's consideration, he decides to allow it, stopping what he's doing.]

Don't overexert yourself.

Of course.

[Do not worry, Joshua's healing skills are actually what he's best at. And while magic is still very detrimental on his body at times, without a certain god of death inside his body anymore, it is significantly easier for him to cast.

He reaches out to hover his hand over the wounded arm.]

The flames will not burn.

[And a small swirl of fire will appear, embers flickering and swirling around Shadow's arm and curing whatever damage he may have. A fire-based curaga spell.]

[Brows furrow suspiciously anyway. He's just a skeptic by nature. If this turns out be a trick, he'll deal with the problem. But the flames was an inviting warmth, gentle. He feels the cuts mend themselves without issue. Once complete, he moves his arm to check. Everyhing felt like it was in order, his body not reacting strangely to the magic.]

Acceptable.

[With that finished, Joshua retracts his hand and the fire magic blows away.]

Better. Now, are you certain you are able to move them yourself? I can assist with securing them.

Can you? [It was never a matter of whether he can or not. The answer will always be yes.]

[Listen- Joshua isn't the most athletic...]

As I said, I can help with what I can.

[But he doesn't want to be useless.]

...Don't get in my way. [Joshua can do whatever they want otherwise. He returns to the work at hand, walking over to third pod to detach it from the netting. The shark within is a bit more rowdy than the last two, flailing so hard that it manages to slip out of it's pod. A click of his tongue as he watches it flail uselessly for a moment. Just accept your fate already. Rather than stand there and wait for it to stop flailing, he moves onto the last pod for the time being.]

[Joshua is quiet for a moment. This hedgehog is rather stern and serious. Although, Joshua has no reason to point it out...

He nods and then goes to silently secure the other pods as well.]

[The temptation to just toss these stupid sharks is growing. But that would ruin the merchandise. Annoying. He pushes the last pod over to the pod pile with his shoe. Now to deal with the one that escaped. He had stopped moving, but once Shadow came into view, it starts snapping it's jaws and flailing again.

He glares down at it, deciding how to proceed. It's body is not entirely covered in gems, so maybe...he walks around to it's side. He shoves it onto it's side and proceeds to punch it into it's gem-free underside. It slides across the deck from the force, and then goes limp. Better.]

[... That is. One way to deal with the wild sea monsters. Joshua can't help but watch with a little bit of discomfort. They are only giant fish and they are the subject of their catch today but ... still. Great Greagor.]

Unconventional, perhaps. But the job is done.

[Now they can be shipped off to the quest owner and they can get paid!]

[They'll probably gonna be killed later Joshua. So what does it matter? Either way, made him feel better after doing that.]

...Done sufficiently, when there were two pairs of eyes instead of just one. [That means you helped, even with that little tumble.]

[Killed. For the shark's blue gemstones... probably. But it doesn't need to be said out loud...!!!

He nods.]

Of course. The bounty will be divided properly. On that note... I do not think you've told me your name?

[A glance.] Neither have you. [He's not bothered by it. Usually it's a one and done task and he never has to deal with whomever again. So he never troubles himself with knowing names. But since they brought it up, he has to address it now, huh. Urgh.] Shadow.

[Hey, they completed a job together. Who's to say they might not run into each other again...?]

Forgetfulness was not my aim. A pleasure, Shadow. My name is Joshua.
