[open] 📌 hey brother there's an endless road to rediscover

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]

I get why, but why do you look like you've been personally attacked by this guy, too?

[Leona does follow after Joshua because...well, fine. He's curious and even he wouldn't let some panty thief go running around freely, but it's much more amusing to see Joshua being so worked up over this.]

[Shadow just happened to be on the same ship as Joshua for this shark hunting venture. Reading they could be made of gems, sounded like a means to get some money he needs. Seeing them with his own eyes confirms it. He overhears Joshua's remark, nearly sighed as he continues to walk off to the netting. He'll do it himself like he was planning to anyway. Although the "netting" is...interesting.

They didn't look like your typical nets for catching masses of fish. Ropes were tied together with a hook at each end. Attached to the hooks are specially design netting, meant to open and then close around a single shark, creating a a pouch of sorts. Keeping them separate is probably to prevent causing harm/damage to themselves? No one wants a damaged jewel, he suppose. He can imagine Rouge saying something like that. These sharks are going to be tedious to catch is what he gathers. Whatever. It needs to get done. He starts to roll up the rope to make it easier to carry.]

[ If there is one thing that Claude can't do without, it's information. If he can spend his days reading then he considers it time well spent. When there's news of something that is, gasp, eating pagers and the like well he figures that it wouldn't hurt to look into it. A favor done is a favored owed and while he's looking for the oddly shaped culprit, Claude gets to look in some books.

A win/win if he's ever heard on.

At the present moment, he's trying to find the damaged books. There are pieces of paper pinned to shelves with a list of books that have been damaged in that section. Someone's looking for patterns... ]

Keep still.

[Alhaitham, as always, doesn't really bother with being gentle when it comes to giving instructions, seeing no point in beating around the bush—he certainly wouldn't want it himself if he was asking somebody what to do, after all, so he's just doing what he expects to get himself.]

The reason they're approaching like this is because you keep backing off and making them think they're not going to get it. Just hold still and keep the food steady, and they'll take it out of your hands in a flash.

[There is a whistle from just behind Joshua and all the Chocobos look up! And get excited, because Kaveh (followed by a small white horse with a...horn?) has an entire bucket full of grains. Mehrak is carrying buckets number 2 and 3 just behind him.]

Don't crowd! There's enough for everyone, come on now. Be polite!

[He's gonna place the first bucket down and back up quickly so he doesn't lose his fingers, and then give Joshua a small smile. He does not, perhaps, realize how ridiculous it is that treating chocobos like chickens is working.]

[Lyney agrees that this kind of thief is just all kinds of low, but he can see that Joshua is reacting a little more... passionately about this particular bounty. Hmm...]

It sounds like this particular thief has struck a nerve with you, my friend.

[Ah-- Joshua, the Chocobo Whisperer.

Enty is giggling a little at his plight. But yeah, he does look like he could use some help, doesn't he? Excuse her as she steps forward to aid him in his plight.]

Do you mind if I help out?

[Having learned that Joshua was out taking care of the chocobos, Cid decided to see how he was doing...

...Oh boy.]

You might fare better if you did it one at a time.

[And he's going to be soooo helpful by staying outside of the pen and leaning over the railing with his arms crossed against it.]
