Fishing for Luck! ~ Mystery Falls

Quest accepted: Fishing for Luck!

members involved: multifxceted, weaponbychoice, holowned + myself

Word count: 4150

Per person: A lot more than the needed amount

Jedediah: "Everyone ready? from the sound of it this is gonna take awhile." The blond pushed back his hair, a large grin spread across his face.

Alina: "Anything is better than taking care of those nasty Slides." Aline grumbled, tucking the last of her knives away.

Mukuro: The soldier only offers a nod as she keeps to the back of the group. It really didn't matter too much to her.

Zer0: "Ready." Zer0 rolls his shoulders back and watches, leaving any comments on the matter there. A thumbs up is provided, however. Mukuro Ikusaba changed name to Mukuro

Jedediah: "Sweet! The app says the best time to Hunt for the faeries is at night and from the look of it that shouldn't be too much longer so everyone start spreading out and tell anyone else if you spot something." Jedediah gave a nod then began his own search through the forests brush

Alina: "Roger~" She crawled, taking out her own phone and scrolling through the bestiary. They didn't seem too bad.... by it's best to watch out for those attacks. maybe she can just sneak up on them.

Mukuro: This time she didn't answer, opting to proceed with the mission objectives immediately. Mukuro keeps her guard up and ears perked however as the darkness is the most ideal situation for ambushes.

Zer0: "Understood." After Jedediah begins, with one hand holding his weapon steadily at his side, Zer0 is following suit. With that free hand of his parting the shrubs and greenery of the forest, he makes an attempt to keep his actions as quiet as possible, figuring that it'd be better that way no matter what they were up against.

Jedediah: After a quick glance around the various flowers the boy pulled out his bow, admittedly he had never been a good shot except for a few times he managed to hit a bullseye at summer camps. The arrow fit crookedly onto the bow string and he found himself hoping no one else saw him horridly mishandling his weapon more than finding the first faerie.

Alina: Quietly following a made path, she diverged and slipped into the shrubs after a few minutes. A rustling of leaves besides her own made her still. Perhaps she had found her first target....

Zer0: It's only a short amount of time before he finds that, for now, this is doing nothing in help of the search. The direction the assassin was headed was leading nowhere, and he can't allow himself to not be useful. Ergo, he finds himself retracing his steps to a field. Maybe this was the place.

Mukuro: With cautious steps, Mukuro examines her surroundings, taking in the lush shadowed by the towering tree around them. There were no signs of the creatures here, something that the soldier finds strange. Spotting movement towards the east, she moves into that position on to find an empty plane. Where had they all gone to?

Jedediah: At the sound of rustling Jedediah hastily fixed his vision onto a moving, maybe luck was on his side for once! He pulled back his bow as steadily as he could and let loose the knocked arrow, "If anyone's nearby I'll bet the fish I get that i got the wi-" He stopped mid sentence as he pushed back the foliage to reveal that to his disappointment his arrows was lodged inside of a slime ball. "eeeh, nevermind" hopefully no one was nearby in the first place

Alina: She was hyper-aware of the weight being placed on each foot as she neared the source of the noise. The trick was to see the butterfly look-a-like before it sees her. As the noise grew louder, she flattened to the ground, her mismatched eyes straining to see whatever she can. It had been a while since she had hunted like this, even in her other animal forms. On that note, she mentally reminded herself to try and shift into these creatures once she got her powers back .

Zer0: Butterflies. He hadn't really encountered a lot of them, but there they were, fluttering about the night flora. Usually, he'd dismiss them, but with a second glance to the beastiary, if he made even the slightest wrong move, he could get himself tangled up and put to sleep just like that, which wouldn't be the most ideal. With a sharp intake of breath, it is then when he takes a solid step against the flower-populated field, lacking of any help if this was to all go haywire. Let's hope it doesn't.

Jedediah: after yanking the arrow out he sat down, if there was anything he didn't want to do it was hold back the team. He wasn't an idiot and he knew that, The key was to think... Night time was about to hit at any moment and if the quest didn't lie the bigger problem would become not getting surprised, without good aim his chances of hitting the monsters were far from decent... wait the slime was sticky right? The blond chuckled as a plan began to form in his head

Alina: She was probably being too cautious, but this was better than getting paralyzed. Her nose was telling her there were some flowers nearby from the heavy natural sweetness, so whatever was moving was probably a Fluttered. Now that she thinks about it, that sounds like one of those pokemon things. As she hid behind a tree veiled with old lichen,she peeked over to indeed see fluttering wings in the faint moonlight that escaped the branches from above. She wasn't in a position to rush forward, not without making noise. So she slowly slipped a knife into her hand and waited with bated breath.

Mukuro: It takes a few more steps before Mukuro sees any life in the forest. From above, a rat leaped from one of the branches, hissing maliciously as dives downwards. Arms raising to defend herself, she block it's bite, the firearm lodged between the jaw. She slams the beast towards the trunk, forcing it to let go as she places a distance between them. Then, she notes the sting in her hands, slowly numbing her fingers and the saliva eats the skin. Her situation does not seem to fair too well.

Zer0: The cautious steps worked at first, but there was a moment of panic, a mistake on his part, as a few slowly became a little too friendly in terms of distance. The quicken in his pace serves to be nothing but troubling as it attracts the attention of more. So, he does what would fare best in his favor; drawing his weapon and staying still. This could be a little challenging, but not many options are open. Retreating would have to be after taking a few of these Flutterbies down.

Jedediah: Jedediah began to pick up speed as he spread small globs of the goo on as many of the flowers as he could, he began to notice the faeries pop up and his hopes were assured. If those fragile things landed on his makeshift glue, there was no way they could get away, he may be a lousy shot but even he could hit a stationary target. It took longer than he wanted but his phone had yet to receive any messages so he took it mean everyone else was fine... hopefully. Now he just needed to wait for his trap to go into action.

Mukuro: Ignoring the discomfort, she takes aim, observing the rat before delivering several of shots towards the creature. It manages to last for a moment before dropping on the ground. As it falls still, cadet grey eyes roams the plains, taking in the surrounding while noting the silence around her. She was alone. Holstering the gun, she examines her hands, growing in crimson. Toxic, she deduced as she quickly turns back. She would have to find water and fast.

Alina: Her heart was beating faster as the Flutterby drew even closer. She was almost sure it would have sensed her, but it apparently didn't deem her a threat. In fact its back was presented to her in a way that seemed too easy to be true. In a moment of hesitation, she had paused from lifting herself from the ground and sent the grass and gravel crunching. Too late to turn back, she lunged forward and gave a stab at the Flutterby, who was in the middle of a quick turn. It barely struggled before limping, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake. The shape shifter gave a slow start, pulling up the collar of her jacket to prevent inhaling any more of the sleeping or paralysis powder than she already had. Zer0: Taking on the first few was a challenge. They were small, and small targets weren't usually a problem, however, these were. A few got absolutely /too/ close at points, including now, and it's less than a second before the blade of his sword connects with their small bodies and sweeps them away. Okay, now there's an open spot. Okay. Run.

Jedediah: As expected only a few the critters landed in his trap and when he finally decided it would be safe to take them out the most he got was the a pair of each type of dust. Wasn't what he needed but it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that the items would be invaluable

Alina: She swore silently, not daring to open her mouth tin case she inhaled even more. Ah, this whole situation stinks. She was tempted to recite every uncouth word in a vain attempt to address her annoyed emotions, but the effects of the Flutterby was already taking its toll. Her legs felt like static as if they had fallen asleep. And it TICKLED. Oh, god. She was going to KILL those pretty little things. After a good fifteen minutes of suffering like this, of course. Alina: Each agonizing minute ticked on, until finally she felt some control over her limbs. Sighing, she pulled her phone out and sent a message to the group: 《nvmind this is almost equally shitty as slimes》《Jedi why》

Mukuro: The pitter-patter of her steps are accompanied by the burn of her palm. Her heart racing to match the rhythm of the breeze that licks the fringes of her face. Her eyes scours the terrain until the wind brought along the scent of algae and dampness. Without much thought, her feet spins to that direction. It wouldn't be long now.

Jedediah: He began to become a little too comfy, if this lasted any longer he wouldn't even need the flutterby's powder to fall asleep. At about 4 minute intervals they landed and each time he would walk about and just use his arrow as a melee weapon. After his 3rd or 4th trip he felt his phone go off

Zer0: Distancing himself from the enemy was hard to do, but not impossible, he soon found. The edge of the forest was large and looming, which was a perfect area to execute this vaguely thought out escape. Right? Right. This was not the best time to be doubting his decisions. With swift sprints, Zer0 is able to navigate his way back into the brush, buying enough time to send a message.; [I agree with her / Butterflies are not lovely / They are not harmless.]

Jedediah: 《That bad of a time? Guess I'm not having much luck either, though admittedly my hand is also covered in slime 》

Jedediah: 《any sign of mukuro? 》

Alina: She gave a snort at the response. 《Just cause youre the leader does not mean you can fap while we work》Yes, humor is a situation like this.

Zer0: In the last seconds of safety before the resumed chase, Zer0 hastily responds.; [There are hordes of cute / Insects. Mukuro has not / Shown herself here.]

Alina: 《not here either》

Jedediah: 《K gonna pretend I didn't read that! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 》 Jedediah: 《 Though mukuro might be a lone wolf she wouldn't lost connection that easily, I might go look for her 》

Alina: As she focused on the screen in front of her, she didn't notice the intense sound of stomping and rustling that echoed not too far away. Huh. Maybe that was Zer0. 《There's no more bugs here, anyone need help?》

Jedediah: 《I got a little trap set up for them, gonna wait a little bit longer, I think the main goal is to go find mukuro》

Mukuro: As her eyes takes in the sights of a body of water in the nearby distance, Mukuro dashes. She could see the surface of the pond shining as her knee went down to the damp ground, quickly splashing her hands into the water. The soldier did not waste any more time as she scrubs her finger thoroughly. There is no need for residual acid on her hands isn't there? Though as she washes, a sneeze escapes her, the force pulling her right into the pond. The night has just started didn't it?

Zer0: Busy checking the new messages while on the run, Zer0 doesn't struggle to slip up once more. The bugs behind are flurrying, quick and jerking with movement, and he skids to a stop when there's a body in the way of his feet.

Alina: 《I'm on it》 Not sure how, but she'll keep busy until this mess has settled a little. Aline decided to head a little deeper into the forest, slipping into the shadows easily. She may not have her cat eyes, but it still felt better to be hidden than exposed to all that sunlight all the time.

Zer0: Okay, so stopping wasn't the best idea, because this thing in front of him was obviously not a body, but a log, meaning the hostile butterfly-resembling creatures just got a few more flutters closer. Quickly stepping over the obstacle, he begins to type frantically, not necessarily helping himself. [Helpopashdbjk] Yeah. That'd get that point across.

Jedediah: He glanced around, did he really manage to clear them all out already? It seemed the night only grew darker, if things went any worse he could always use his phone as a means of light. Glancing at his allies strangely coded message he decided it would probably be best to start grouping up

Mukuro: Pulling herself out of the pond was much difficult than she thought it would be. Her strength and stamina weren't the same as before when she was during the war. It took awhile to swam to the edge but as she did, something shines on the surface of the water. It is a delicate little thing so she cups the item in her hands, gently removing it from the water. She finds it strange that something like that was floating around the pond but didn't think too much about it and keeps it in a pouch. It was probably time to find the others now.

Alina: The further she walked, the more she was tempted to just enjoy the scenery and forget about the stupid mission. But, she doesn't have a say in it, not when she's dependent on this guild. So she kept brushing past the thickets until she noticed a small stream of water. Following its trail, it seemed to expand and grow-- and her phone buzzed.Her expression flattened at the message. 《how badly are you fucking up》

Jedediah: 《Let's try to meet back at where we started, I'm guessing that's 0's indication that things should be handled as a group now》 Alina: She was in the middle of typing her reply before the sound of unnatural rippling caught her attention. Quickly jogging over and avoiding the wet parts, she brightened. "Ahh, found you, Mukuro!"

Mukuro: "Alina-san," she greets, her tone monotonous despite her appearance. "What is the status of the mission?"

Zer0: [I am fucking up / Very badly. So badly. / Prepare for a lot.] The feeling of his legs falling asleep cause him to trip, but he carries on in the direction Jedediah suggests.

Alina: "We're fucking up pretty badly, so Mr. Leader's calling a regrouping." Even though her voice was cheery, her eyes told another story. "Anyways, let's getcha out of there." She offered a hand.

Jedediah: The boy finished gathering up the dust he had acquired and tied the bags closed, the last thing he wanted was incapacitating himself. Now what path did he take... he walked in a straight line so hopefully it would be fine Mukuro: "Right," she nods, reaching out towards the hand to pull herself out. Too much time has been wasted on her part any ways. Once out, Mukuro shakes the water out from her pistols before addressing the fellow member. "Lead the way."

Zer0: By the time he's dodged his way through the forest, the swarm behind has died down, but there are a few that are still kicking. His arrival to the meeting place wasn't a graceful one, but at least if he fell paralyzed, they'd find him, right? Yeah. Plus, he wasn't going to. That was an /if/. Alina: "Honestly, going this far to look for a tiny-ass trinket is ridiculous. I want a hot bath when this is over with." She chartered while walking from the direction she came from.

Jedediah: As he walked he attempted to trace his steps, was that tree familiar? who was he kidding EVERY tree looked familiar. Jedediah gave out a helpless sigh but noticed a very angry swarm following a shadow. Good news is he knew where to go, bad news... well hopefully Zer0 would be fine

Zer0: Holding them off proved to be a little easier, but overall exhausting by the time they were finally hitting the ground in small clouds of powder. Zer0 was soon to follow, landing hard on his tailbone and propping himself up with his arms. Well, that was it for his legs on this mission. Mukuro: Mukuro only nods as the other spoke about her frustrations. She didn't have anything to add but there is an unrelenting feeling about the pace that they were going. "You said that the situation of the group is bad. Shouldn't we pick the pace?"

Alina: She finally checked on her phone, only to silently put it back. Not sure if she should shove Zer0 when she sees him or give him a pat for surviving.

Jedediah: 《I think I just saw Zer0 + friends, any luck on finding are little lost soldier?》

Jedediah: 《wait I take it back, don't tell her I called her that 》

Alina: 《too late, screenshotted. the little soldier has been found, anyways 》 Jedediah: 《welp, I may be dead but at least she isn't 》

Zer0: [I am currently / Surrounded by dust and shame / Waiting on you guys.]

Alina: 《zer0 i have many things to say and most of them aren't nice ones》

Jedediah: 《Ok 0 here's the plan, take some of the dust and chuck it at Alina when she comes then give me her phone for a second 》

Jedediah: 《 this is a life or death situation《 Mukuro: Mukuro continues to follow Alina, watching her surroundings as the other checks her phone. There won't be another ambush, especially on her watch.

Jedediah: 《 Though seriously, any wings hidden in that dust? 》

Zer0: [I don't know Jedi / The wrath of Alina is / a scarring death wish.] Zer0: [No wings are sighted.]

Alina: 《Haha. Not a fucking chance you asspap.》《zer0 knows what's up》 Slipping the phone back away, she gave in to a light kid before building up the sleep. "There's a worn path around here, find it and we can get to them."

Jedediah: Jedediah groaned as he walked over to zer0's location, this was going to be a long night of hunting...

Alina: *light jog **speed TYPOS THAT CANT BE READ Mukuro: With the directions given, she hastily makes her way towards the sighted path.

Alina: Within minutes, she spotted the two figures. "Hey, idiots! Over here!" Giving herself a minute to catch her breath, she remained silent.

Zer0: [I do have a good / Idea of what is up. / Hip with the children.] Looking up after sending a response, he nods to Jedediah, a flickering 'frown' showing itself before his mask.

Jedediah: Jedediah laughed in response, "you and me both" Now he got to enjoy the wonders of picking through and bagging the dust. Mukuro: Scanning the area and finding nothing in her sights, Mukuro allows herself a moment to great the other two members. "Jedediah-kun. Zer0-kun."

Alina: she pushes her messy hair put of the way. "So, now what? Plan B is...?"

Zer0: Raising a hand in greeting to both of them, his shoulders slowly raise into the most eloquent answer. A shrug. "Don't know."

Jedediah: "Hey there, glad to see your safe. I think the only thing we can do is Keep hunting I guess, now that it's dark it won't be safe to split away from each other but it should be fine"

Jedediah: "how hard can a pair of shiny wings be to find though, dang" Alina: "My point exactly. This is bullshit."

Zer0: "I agree with her."

Mukuro: As the other banter, Mukuro accesses the terrain. A shuffle in the bushes towards their left, shift her attention away as the soldier pulls out her pistol. "Everyone! Prepare yourselves!"

Jedediah: "What?!" Jedediah promptly nocked and arrow pointing his aim towards the disturbance lying with the the bushes, "hopefully this last wave will give us what we need..."

Alina: The shape shifter simply gives a groan as she readied herself. As the first Flutterby began to fly forward, she aimed for it before it could sprinkle that nasty powder. "No wings here!"

Zer0: Zer0, legs still asleep, slowly pushes himself up. His stance was an uncomfortable thing to endure, but it was easy to get over for the time being. His weapon raises as a few flood in from the canopies. "More approach."

Jedediah: "Damn, the hint wasn't lying when it said they come out at night" His accuracy was... questionable but even so it didn't matter, if he missed it seemed to hit another. "We only have to last until we get the wing"

Alina: She have a yelp as she was almost thrown back into the vines the Flutterby seemed to enchant. With another kick, she felt their bodies dissipate. "Where is that thing?!"

Mukuro: The soldier remains silent as the creatures flutter about, taking aim and firing before they come closer towards her. She did not want to risk another encounter where she would take continues damage again.

Zer0: Getting around was difficult, but he managed, watching as they loose all form and float to the ground as dust. "Maybe we are not / Looking in the right places / After all, everyone."

Jedediah: "You think the information would lie to us? Guess it might not be unreasonable, at least this dust will help us clear tougher mobs later on" Alina: "Maybe we've missed it. Give us the exact description of the little shit, someone." Another stab before coughing.

Mukuro: As the soldier fought, she heard Alina's statement which leads to her own towards the leader of the group. "What does this wing look like?" Jedediah: "Faerie wing's I guess, so small, shiny, multi colored and intricate is what I would assume"

Mukuro: Small, shiny and multi-coloured... It seems so familiar. Sliding to the side and away from the attacking range of the enemy, Mukuro digs into her bag and pulls out the fragile item. "Does this fits the description?"

Alina: Keeping her eyes on the targets, she didn't bother looking at the two. best keep them safe or they're all going down.

Zer0: Zer0 also keeps his focus on the incoming enemies, legs slowly returning to a normal, comfortable state. His visor did a good job at keeping the dust from his face in all the action.

Jedediah: The blond let loose another arrow then glanced over to Mukuro, his eyes widened at the item "Well, yea... basically exactly"

Alina: "WHAT?!" She gave a shriek, whirling on the two who paused in their action. Although she really wanted to slam some sense into this team, her frustration were instead vented onto the Flutterby. A few furious kicks later and most of them decided not to fight any longer .

Zer0: His attention is definitely caught by the commotion, and when sighting the object, a firmly put ':|' appears from his visor. That settles that. Jedediah: "I guess that's that?" Jedediah wasn't entirely sure what to think, "First mission complete then..."

Alina: a growl elicited from her throat. "Not worth the points. Or fish." Mukuro: She nods at the signal of the end of the mission, ready to leave the forest.
