The Ocean is Calming

Hello, my name is Toby and I'm a wandering fisherman. I enjoy fishing and taking naps. ( Rune Factory AU!Toby, based on design by yorunoangel ) ( Part of the HarvesTales masterlist )

Fishing with a... Friend? @Tobias

littlefisherman:

As he daydreamed and fished in the lake, he didn’t notice someone else approaching and remained unaware of their presence until he heard something in his ear. Jumping a bit and nearly falling into the lake a bit himself, he managed to catch himself and look at the newcomer. “Oh- ah-.. Sorry there, I didn’t hear you come up,” he said, smiling a bit sheepishly. His headfins wiggled a bit as he looked at the man.

"A local?" he asked, his head tilting a bit.

A low chuckle left Leon’s lips, and with amusement apparent in his eyes he stared at the stranger with a sly smile. “No need to apologize friend, I meant to keep silent.” His smile formed into a smirk as he looked to the lake whilst rolling his shoulder in a matter to stretch it.

"Yeah… I’m a local alright." Leon clicked his tongue before lifting his arm to cast out his own rod then sat down next to the other, "Came out here to enjoy some time to myself— Surprised to see that I wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts." The fox glanced at the man beside him with an intrigued gaze.

"And you are?"

[littlefisherman]

He chuckled a bit as the other man sat next to him and also cast out a line. Fishing was usually better with company after all. "Oh? Then there is a town nearby yea?" He gives a small chuckle as he tugs his line a bit to attract the fish. "You can say I just sort of wandered in and found a good fishing spot. My name's Toby. How about you?"

[littlefisherman]

"Ah.. a bit I think," he said, sitting still so the kind stranger could get the hook out. "Thank you very much. I don’t really know what happened, I was just trying to get my pole prepped, and it must have swung a bit too much and got caught." He tilted his head slightly. "Is that what..?" He stood up a bit, brushing off. "That’d be awfully kind of you. I’d greatly appreciate it." he said with a small smile.

Hiro decided to ignore the fins for now.  “It is no problem at all; in fact, it’s my job,” he replied as he began to lead Toby to the clinic.  “I have been working at the clinic in this town for a little while now,” he explained.  The doctor turned to face his new acquaintance.  “My name is Hiro.  I don’t believe I have seen you around here before - may I ask your name?”

[littlefisherman]

Toby followed after the shorter doctor towards the clinic. Granted he hasn't been there much, despite spending more time here than he did anywhere else. "Ah, I'm more of a wanderer, and I come through town every now and then." He gave a smile at that. "My name's Toby. I stay at the fishery occasionally when I need to stay in town." His headfins wiggle a bit.

Toby was blissfully fishing off of the bridge in Flute Fields, and getting quite a few fish. They were good enough to make up some lunch as well as supper. He started to daydream a bit as he fished, until he heard someone coming along. He smiled at seeing Chase, the chef that works at the bar. "Nice day today," he called out.

Chase had just been done with his weekly forest visit, as it was a prime place to get fresh herbs without burning out his wallet, before he heard a voice speaking to him. Looking over, he realized it was from Toby; someone he saw around now and then. From what Chase saw, he was a kind man.

"Good morning, Toby." He greeted, walking up the bridge, "Yes, it really is a nice day. It’s been warming up, thank goodness." Chase really was just sick of the cold by now. Noticing the fishing pole, he looked down and scanned the river, curious. "Anything biting today?"

[littlefisherman]

He nods. "They're beginning to get quite plentiful. Spring really is right around the corner," he said with a small chuckle and a smile. He was silent a moment as he continued to smile and watch his bobber. "I trust you've been well?" He knew he wasn't around town as often as he would if he actually decided to live here, but he definitely spent more time here than anywhere else. He was rather attached to this town's atmosphere after all. It was nice to at least get to know everyone here. He smiled again, spotting the herbs. "Ah, you got some forest herbs right? Those make the most wonderful tea." A simple man by nature, when he sees herbs he instantly thinks of tea rather than seasoning for other cooked dishes.

[littlefisherman]

"Ow—! Oh gosh I ah-.. I seem to have gotten my hook caught on one of my fins.. A little help..?"

[doctorhiro-blog]

"Oh dear, are you hurt?  Let me get that for you-"  Hiro gently pulled the fishing hook out of Toby’s…fin?  "Is that a…?  Anyway, I would recommend putting some medicine on this wound to prevent infection.  I can help you out at the clinic if you’d like to come along."

[littlefisherman]

"Ah.. a bit I think," he said, sitting still so the kind stranger could get the hook out. "Thank you very much. I don't really know what happened, I was just trying to get my pole prepped, and it must have swung a bit too much and got caught." He tilted his head slightly. "Is that what..?" He stood up a bit, brushing off. "That'd be awfully kind of you. I'd greatly appreciate it." he said with a small smile.

Fishy Friends

[littlefisherman]

*he frowns a bit as he looks to the mermaid* It’s a part of nature, isn’t it? *he tilts his head as he leans back a bit, putting a finger to his chin in a thoughtful manner* As long as you’re careful as a fisherman, you won’t upset the ecosystem. And actually keep it healthy as well. *he smiles a bit*

[fisharemyfriends]

Pia frowned, unhappy with his answer but unable to come up with a rebuttal.  She placed her elbows on the dock, keeping her tail just below the surface.  “Hmmm…have you caught any squid yet today?” she asked, feeling a bit hungry from all the swimming she had done today and craving some grilled squid.

[littlefisherman]

"Yeah, a couple," he said with a smile, setting his fishing rod aside for the moment and reaches into the bucket he kept the fish he'd already caught in. He took out a couple of squid and held them up. "Here they are," he said with a small grin. "Do you like squid? To eat I mean," he adds with a chuckle.

[archiiiivee-deactivated20141023]

Having traveled for a while through some forests, he'd finally come across a clearing with a nice large lake as its feature. It was probably one of the lakes in this area he'd been looking for, known to have bountiful rare fish. Having situated himself on the bank, he started fishing; he had to resist the urge to go for a swim though since it'd be difficult to move around afterwards if he did. He started to hum blissfully as he fished.

Leon was humming one of the many tunes Margaret has composed as he made his way to Keeno lake, (which was the warmest of all the ones he’s been to) with a rod in hand that he had resting on his shoulder. Coming to the clearing he saw an unfamiliar head of silver hair— A traveler? He blinked and silently made his way over to the sitting figure… What was he humming?

With the intention of catching his dinner, he wasn’t about to back away because someone else was present. So when he reached the unknown man he leaned over slowly to his ear and with a smirk he properly welcomed the new comer.

"Greetings traveler!"

As he daydreamed and fished in the lake, he didn't notice someone else approaching and remained unaware of their presence until he heard something in his ear. Jumping a bit and nearly falling into the lake a bit himself, he managed to catch himself and look at the newcomer. "Oh- ah-.. Sorry there, I didn't hear you come up," he said, smiling a bit sheepishly. His headfins wiggled a bit as he looked at the man.

"A local?" he asked, his head tilting a bit.

[littlefisherman]

Tobster needs some threads, so if you'd like to rp with him, please like this post and i'll send a lil starter thing ye ))

[littlefisherman]

Ah- *doesn’t have time to react as he’s smacked in the face with his own bobber* Wha..? *his brow furrows*

I-I’m sorry. *he frowns a bit* But I fish for a living, I can’t just stop.

[fisharemyfriends]

/swims up to the dock/  But…but…don’t you care about how the fish feel?  You should catch the squid instead!  They’re evil!

[littlefisherman]

And actually keep it healthy as well. *he smiles a bit*

[littlefisherman]

*sits back and casts his line into the water, looking relaxed*

[fisharemyfriends]

Oh no you don’t!!  /picks the line up out of the water and tosses it back at Toby/

Hey, mister fisherman! /teary eyed/ You almost hurt my fishy friend over here!

[littlefisherman]

Ah- *doesn't have time to react as he's smacked in the face with his own bobber* Wha..? *his brow furrows*

I-I'm sorry. *he frowns a bit* But I fish for a living, I can't just stop.

[littlefisherman]

*sits back and casts his line into the water, looking relaxed*

[littlefisherman]

Hellooooooo!! I see you have a fishing pole; do you need any help?

Oh? Hi there- *his head fins wiggle a bit* Ah, you mean with fishing? *he ponders a bit* It’s quite alright, I seem to be doing fairly well. But if you’d like to, I won’t mind. *he gives a smile*

[littlefisherman]

Caring little about his current activity, Yuki simply couldn't push away her observation. "You don't smell like this place," she remarked. He smelled of the sea, of... Different waters. He certainly looked like a local, no doubt, but since when had looks ever mattered?

"Hm?" The young fisherman had hardly been paying attention when the lady spoke with him. He had been lost in thought while his line bobbed in the waves. He chuckled a bit. "Ah, Sorry I'm not used to people smelling me right off the bat. You're right though, this isn't my hometown. Just where part of my family lives." He blissfully continued fishing as he talked, as though the conversation hadn't distracted him in the slightest.

"So how about you? I don't recall seeing you around Harmonica Town before?"

[littlefisherman]

Starting anew

I'm changing this rp blog into an RF!AU blog of Toby! Thus, all his posts before now will be null, and Toby will start fresh and new! Now Toby is a merfolk from the waters of Selphia, but raised by a boat captain and typically grew up around Harmonica Town. Despite, he'll be considered a wandering fisherman. I hope that makes sense!

Can't wait to rp Toby again!

[littlefisherman]

If you had a son or a daughter, what do you think you would like to name them?

I- I haven't even thought about names yet;; I mean- maybe if she actually was pregnant but.. ah, I'll make sure to keep it in mind in case I think of something-

[littlefisherman]

Do you think your mother would be proud of you?

......

I sure hope so. I really don't know what she was like, but.. I think the way dad reacted, that she'd be really supportive too. *smiles, kind of zones out*

[littlefisherman]

did u ever think u'd hook up with a mermaid

To be completely honest, no I didn't- It feels like something that only would happen in my wildest dreams. But I'm so happy that I did, I've never been happier.
