Quest 01 || Diane Goes on a Rampage!

The giantess hated medicine. But just as she thought she was to have fun with King and a friend they had made named Crowe, she had come down with a fever so easily just days after crashing on the island. The more delirious she became, the more vague memories of this happening when she was younger drifted in and out….. maybe she should take her medicine after all. 

Reluctantly, Diane poured the tiny dose into her mouth. It took effect immediately but then….  although her fever went away, she started to feel woozy again, the fairy and the human blurred from her sight.

❝ ….Huh? Darling? Crowe? Where’d you go…?❞  she asked even though she looked directly at the two, as the other two completely disappeared before her eyes.  Diane slowly got up from sitting, turning her glazed over eyes in every which direction and began looking around for them. Did they go off to look for food for her? It was sweet, but she hated being alone… The giantess looked around helplessly before suddenly, her gaze fixated on the spot where the two stood, her face slowly twisting into a glare.

Giants. Fairies. What’s next, unicorns?

Outside of the Gods, in his world mystical creatures were patently the realm of fantasy books, silly little tales designed to entertain children and nothing more. But here in this strange world called Koi, things were different. Mostly because he ran into a legitimate, bona-fide giant and fairy on this disastrous island excursion. Crowe hates nature. He hates being outside. He hates being away from the creature comforts of home. He hates everything. This sucks.

And, of course, the giantess had to get sick, so they went to get medicine. Crowe looks at the tiny bottle pinched between her fingers, doubtful that it’ll make a suitable dose for someone her size. He remembers potions lab back in school, how the professor would prattle on and on about adjusting dosages to a person’s size, and…

… Down the hatch.

Crowe leans in, watching her expression morph from one of slight nausea to a full-on angry glare, glowering right through him and King as though they aren’t there. That’s… not normal. Is that medicine supposed to do that? But what she says next confirms she’s taken a one-way trip to crazy town. 

The Sorcerer gives a sideways glance at King, rooted to the spot. Whatever’s happening right now, it can’t possibly be a good thing. He raises his staff halfheartedly, watching the medicine bottle clink to the ground.

“What’s in this stuff, anyway?” he mutters, picking it up and turning it over to read the ingredients list.

“… Oh.”

@youseiou @trichosxnthes

Why he had gone along with this crusade of madness King wasn’t entirely sure. Some might argue that simply being part of the Seven Deadly Sins was already enough to ensure that wherever he went even as a lone figure madness arose. Needless to say that with the fact that both Sloth and Envy were present all at once it was actually surprising that the scale of disaster was so... underwhelming. Survival under the forces of nature might be overwhelming to some, but to a fairy and a giantess it was the most common state of life. The same hadn’t applied to the person they had made to join their group.

A man of few words Crowe was, and somehow King had got the feeling from him that he’d never make it through this on his own. He didn’t like the thought of having to place trust in someone he didn’t know under circumstances like this, but at the same time the part of him that was born to be the leader of his people made it impossible for him to let the other be without feeling guilty. Thus this odd ensemble had ventured forth, but alas already encountered their first struggle. 

Diane was sick. 

This fact alone worried King senseless. He had flashbacks to a time several hundreds of years ago where a young giant girl was on the verge of her demise from a fever, and he with no knowledge on treating anyone from her race. But just as back then it was a human who had provided assistance, and King could only watch Diane’s reactions change for... the better...? No that wasn’t it.

“D-d-d-darling?!?!” he burst out, repeating the word in a pitch that rose halfway through, and his entire face flushed into a deep read. As happy as he wanted to be to hear that word addressed to him, in this situation it only made him worry even more, and he floated up before the giantess’ eyes, waving his hand before them, but to no avail. Her pupils weren’t registering his movements at all. “D...Diane? Hey? What’s wrong?!” he tried, worry rising, and then a sound down by the ground caught his attention. In an instant he was back down, hovering above the ground to be at eye level with the much taller male. “Oh? What do you mean oh? Is there something wrong with the thing Diane drank?” And then turning back to the girl he yelled up. “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find a way to get you better again!”

Out of the frying pan and into the flames amirite? I know I literally just apped King, but if anyone could be interested in threading or grouping up with him for the event, here’s a lil breakdown of his capabilities. Feel free to hmu through ims if you are interested in plotting something out for the event!

PROS!

Incredibly overpowered. As the king of fairies his magic capabilities are incredibly high and with his weapon Chastiefol he can defeat most threats. He’s also a king by nature and he doesn’t like people getting harmed so he protec. He could literally fly off the island if he wanted to, but he couldn’t possibly leave people behind.

One of Chastiefol’s forms is capable of very powerful healing magic. In its released form it can even heal fatal wounds provided the person isn’t already dead. The released form takes a toll on King’s own body though as it is very powerful magic that he is not fully used to.

He’s quite smol and doesn’t eat a lot. Plus although he can eat meat, he prefers the vegetarian lifestyle so he won’t get into arguments with any of y’all carnivores out there.

Can literally control flora as well as manipulate life on a molecular level though his innate Disaster ability. As long as the potential for life exists, he can make the plants flourish, he’s very in touch with nature as the fairy king so as long as you’re ready to go green he’s got you covered for food. He’s also used to living outdoors.

CONS!

Worrywart. He’s powerful but has a tendency of worrying about even small and unimportant things, you might get tired of him when exposed to him for longer periods of time.

Actual weakling if you take away Chastiefol, like wow, he’d lose a fistfight with a jellyfish. He’s not powerless, but his capabilities rely on his strong magic abilities and definitely not on his physical prowess.

Although it’s a lot better he still has a tendency of being distrustful of humans he doesn’t know. Fairies and humans don’t really have a good history. Humans he can manage though, but he will however not wish to cooperate with you or trust you if you are a vampire or a demon and he knows this fact. Both are races he perceives as enemies, and it will be hard to get him to change his opinion.

If you actively try to be a danger to him and those he tries to protect or even the greater good, he will try to defeat you. He abhors killing, but he is also very much aware of the fact that sometimes death is the only means with which to stop a person. You don’t have to work with him, but if you could become a harm to what he holds dear, he will stop at nothing to stop you.

Is he being mocked? Is this some sort of custom of the “modern human” that didn’t exist in Brittania? A cultural difference perhaps?

“Man, humans are weird...”

congroo:

Okarin recoiled, hitting his head against the wall, then leapt away with all the agility of a half paralyzed housecat. He brandished the Longshot Meterstick as if it was a gun.

“Is The Organization truly referring to themselves as Holy Knights now? They must truly have warped this world to be considered anything other than evil worms.”

This child seemed too young to be an Agent, but one could never be too careful. He obviously had technology beyond Okarin’s reckoning to be able to float as he did. Everything about this city stank of villainy. What kind of mind control was necessary to make everyone able to understand sheep? That much wasn’t a conspiracy; Okabe was genuinely nervous about the forces that had brought people to this place. Currently, there was nothing to do for it, aside from keeping up the functions as a member of the Future Gadget Lab, even if it was on his own. 

“I should be the one interrogating you. If you know where the lair of The Organization is, I’ll get it out of you! I’ll have you know I’m a very dangerous man, and have weapons beyond your comprehension!”

The telescope began to sag and stretched the tape holding it to its handle. Okarin pushed it back into place with a finger.

As King still didn’t quite understand what the contraption’s true function was, he could not help the slight sense of anxiety and foreboding that spread within him at having a potential weapon flaunted in his face. It seemed however that either the two of them were talking past each other, or something had happened yet again to put the Holy Knights in a bad light. There was no way King could claim that he or any of his fellow Sins were the good guys, but there was no denying that they had been taking on such a position when the Holy Knights had strayed from their path. So he supposed that he could see why someone would view them in a bad light.

          -- “ W... well, I agree that they haven’t done only good things all the time, but calling them evil worms is a bit too... ”

Never having the chance to finish his retort the fairy was barraged by another set of outbursts from the flamboyant male. It wasn’t that he was not used to humans who were quite overwhelming in their bearing -- in fact he knew only too many so such a thing came as no surprise -- but perhaps the fact that even here he was interrupted and shoved aside was what ticked him off the most. But if this person had simply been a human with too big a mouth for his own good, that would have been preferred. Instead he had to go and make an announcement that King couldn’t ignore.

          -- “ I see. If you’re a danger to this city then I can’t just let you go. I can’t have you using these weapons on the humans that live here. Spirit Spear form one: Chastiefol. ”

For the time being he had only intended to scare the stranger a bit. He didn’t sense any magic prowess within the male, but as long as he didn’t know of those alleged weapons, he could never be too careful. Letting go of the Sacred Weapon he carried in his arms, it was supposed to turn into its true form as the spear Chastiefol. Instead it remained but a pillow and fell lifelessly to the ground with a soft thud. Going beet red from his display, King realised he’d forgotten a very important thing...

He couldn’t use magic anymore.

congroo:

“Test number four of Future Gadget prototype twelve: Longshot Meterstick. Previous tests have indicated accurate measurements at distances of ten meters. Now commencing testing at a distance of twenty meters.”

Okarin ended the recording and put his phone in his pocket, and brandished the Longshot Meterstick. This latest Future Gadget was constructed from an old telescope, the broken handle from what  was presumably a water gun, and some shards of plexiglass with markings drawn on them in marker. It’s purpose: to size up your enemies before they can reach you (or if you don’t have enemies for measuring objects that are too far to measure by hand. 

Thus far it only worked for objects less than two meters tall. It’s accuracy was within about half of a meter. Also if most objects within its tested range were too close for the telescope to focus on. 

Okarin knelt and aimed at a sign across the street and started fiddling with the scope to properly find the height when a form passed across the top half of the sign. He let out a yelp and threw himself back against the nearest wall with a motion just a little too rehearsed to look natural, and brandished the telescope like a gun.

“What kind of foul trickery is this? Stay back! I know the Organization sent you!” he yelled before actually processing what he was seeing. Even then, understanding he was seeing a kid floating by didn’t inspire any better reaction. 

@youseiou

Ostracised from the world he found himself in was a very adequate way to describe how King felt about his current situation. Knowing no one but the few he had spoken to, trapped in a scenery taken out of fiction, it was only natural that the fairy was feeling disheartened. Residing in a home he did not really think of as his own with no magic and the small wings on his back barely capable of levitating him, he was but a shadow of the proud fairy king Britannia had housed centuries before.

Tempting it was, to live up to his title of crime, the Grizzly’s Sin of Sloth, and simply retreat from the world, becoming naught but an observer, or even go into hibernation now that the world didn’t seem to need him. It wasn’t the first time he had felt like this -- most clear in his memory was watching his people shun him and chase him out of the forest he thought to be his home, but even so, even if everything he knew was against him, King would still always persevere and fight for what he believed in.

He had slowly come to know more of this world. The metal boxes that littered the roads were called “cars” and he had learnt not to get in their way. If anything humans had truly become far more ruthless in the mere centuries he had been asleep. Rather than magic, people relied on many such contraptions of science. The one pointed directly at him as he flew through the streets however was not one he had yet learnt the name of, and somehow it seemed... way too peculiar to be one of the common mass-produced items of humans that all seemed aesthetically perfected. The cry emitting from a tall, scrawny man should have been nonsense to most, but after a bit of thought, King reached a conclusion of his own. Hastily he closed the distance between them, effortlessly hovering at eye level with the strange man.

          -- “ ... The organisation...? Do you perhaps know of the Holy Knights of Liones? Hey, you must tell me where their base is now...! ”

[youseiou-blog]

          -- “ What’s even the point in being sad from not having the right number? If you want something there’s multiple ways to go about it, aren’t there? It’s not like not receiving a gift is going to lessen anyone’s life circumstances...? ”

Local fairy confused by human antics.

nanairohime:

          “I know how to work it in a normal sense. I had meant I couldn’t tell you how it’s put together or which parts on the inside do which jobs.” If she didn’t know how her phone worked it would, just like he said, be rather inconvenient. “Normally people have them, I don’t know if I could call this city normal though…” For more than one reason at that. “They’re very convenient, and if you do I’ll trade numbers with you.” Haruka didn’t see any harm in that offer. She figured that she should make friends while in this city since she didn’t know how long she would be here, and this guy seemed nice.  

         “Oh, no!” She said hurriedly hoping that her comment hadn’t upset him,  “It’s just, well, most people can’t do that…” Actually she didn’t know anyone who could do that, and that was saying something considering she knew a man who could turn his dog into a horse. “I was a little surprised.”

If there was one thing he didn’t like about humans it was how cocky they could be in their perception of the world. Just because there were so many of them compared to other races, many of them tended to act like if it wasn’t something a human could do, it was strange. Craving what they did not possess, their greed often brought with it tragedy for other races, and the fairies were no different.

          -- “ I’m not “people”. ”

Tone of voice souring a bit from the admirance it had carried thus far, King corrected the rude assumption. But perhaps he shouldn’t be so quick to put up his guards, for had she not just proposed to become his friend? Helbram would scold him for pushing someone away so quickly, but alas, ever since waking up in this place he had found himself unable to see his old friend’s spirit. He truly and utterly was on his own here. A sigh left him and a slight tinge of red flared up on his cheeks, presenting itself only far too easily.

          -- “ Uhm... I guess I haven’t introduced myself yet... I’m King. The King of Fairies, Harlequin. And I’d be very happy if you could... teach me a bit more about this “time” because I think I’m at least a couple of centuries behind. ”

[youseiou-blog]

nanairohime:

          Haruka couldn’t help but giggle a little bit as he got excited over her phone, “I don’t know exactly how it work to be honest. There’s lots of different parts inside of it that make it function, but yes it lets me communicate with my friends or anyone I I have their email or phone number. I can also take and store pictures on it.” 

          Her head tilted at the comment about humans being amazing; he said it as if he weren’t one himself. Actually, now that she was thinking about it Haruka realized something fairly important. “Uhm, you’re floating…”

          -- “ So you have one but you don’t know how it works? Isn’t that kind of impractical? Still, do everyone have one of these? Maybe I should get one too... I wouldn’t have any friends to communicate with though. ”

He still didn’t quite understand how one could carry a picture within such a small frame unless it was painted directly onto it, which didn’t seem to be the case. It seemed he still had many things left to learn. Withdrawing as his interest had been satisfied, King let his feet touch the ground again, eyes peeking out from behind Chastiefol that covered most of his face when he was clutching it normally. Considering most people he made acquaintances with were quite a bit taller than him, some more noticeably so than others, he supposed it was nice to have a conversation on level footing for once. He however entirely failed to see the problem in her statement.

          -- “ Yes? Am I not supposed to? ”

[youseiou-blog]

nanairohime:

          Haruka could only smile sheepishly at the young man. “Well, sort of. Where I come from people can’t usually use magic, so we have technology instead. It certainly seems magical though…” She could tell he was really trying, but just not quite there. Haruka’s explanation probably wasn’t helping at all either, if only she had something to show him… Oh! She still had her cellphone didn’t she?

           “Ah, here look. This thing here is my phone, but it also stores music on it.” Haruka pulled the device out of her purse and opening the lock on her screen before turning a little bit so that he could see. She navigated over to her music and picked out on of the STARISH songs she had on there to start playing. “If you consider preforming music and on stage acting magic then yes, they could be considered sorcerers. I’m sorry I don’t have any video to show you though to help this make sense.”

Ah, so that was how it was. He had heard that magic had been severely waning over the course of the past millennia, so if this really was the future then it was no surprise that it might have vanished entirely. Maybe that was also why his own powers felt so weak in this place. As the peculiar device was held forth, King let out an impressed exclamation as the blank surface lit up, and, just as explained, music began playing. Letting gravity release its grip of him, the fairy brought his body closer to the thing she had called a “phone” and observed it from every angle.

          -- “ How does it do that? Is it some sort of communication contraption? Are you sure there’s no magic involved?! ”

Not even realising he was bombarding the girl with questions, King let his curiosity get the better of him. As much as he wanted to deny it, he really did have an interest in human antics -- all fairies probably did to a degree.

          -- “ I don’t even think a millennium has passed, but you can already do this much... Humans really are amazing! ”

[youseiou-blog]

nanairohime:

          Oh wow, he didn’t even know about albums or television? That was… Wow. It really made Haruka wonder what kind of place this young man came from really. Maybe deeper in the countryside than she had been. “N-No, not quite. I mean, Cecil-san says he receives guidance from the Muses, but… Everyone is normal.” Ignoring the magic that Camus and Cecil have, that didn’t count. Wait a war? Well actually Hijirikawa-san has been in period dramas before. “Uhm, it’s entertainment. Albums are, uhm, a bunch of songs recorded onto a cd. A… A disk that holds music, and television is like…. A moving picture box.” Ahh, her explanations are pretty terrible.

          – “ Ugh… ”

He totally couldn’t follow this conversation. This sounded like when Merlin was trying to explain how her magic worked – even if King did believe himself to have quite a good grasp of magic, she was still leagues above him. But she tried so hard to explain it, so he couldn’t fail her here!

          – “ So these “idols” create music and then store it on magic devices? That’s pretty clever. To use magic for entertainment, did humans really think this up? So starish is what you call sorcerers here? ”

[youseiou-blog]

nanairohime:

          “STARISH is an idol group! There’s seven of them, and they’re wonderfully talented people. They have several dozen albums out between the seven of them. and they act on television and on stage in plays.” She’s sparkling, can you see that? 

          -- “ Hold on, slow down! Albums? Television? ”

None of this made much sense to him. He could only assume that these were words related to the way the world had advanced in the past... gods knew how many centuries he must have missed. Not even sparkles can help out this lost soul. But he was sure he could figure this one out!

          -- “ B-but if it’s idols, it’s got to be related to the goddess clan, right?! So they re-enact the war?! ”

[youseiou-blog]

nanairohime:

          “You’ve really never heard of STARISH before?” Do you live under a rock? No… maybe it has to do with this place…

          -- “ The only stars I know about are the ones in the sky. But I don’t think you’re talking about those so, no, I don’t have a clue what that is. ”

@elderallendale

What he might be viewed as in the eyes of any ordinary bystander was a simple “neet”, a person with no value of society, but even so, even here and now he was still the Fairy King. The Sacred Tree and the Fairy King’s forest had to exist somewhere, and as long as it did, his duty was to act as the guardian of the forest. But every so often he supposed it might have been nice to experience even a slight sense of familiarity in this futuristic cityscape.

          -- “ ?! This scent? ”

Almost on cue a calming aroma entered his nostrils to drown out the stench of the city, and following it, King found his wings taking him to a small establishment, priding itself in multiple coloured plants and herbs. For this many plants to be gathered in one place, plucked from their spots in nature, could this mean...?

          -- “ Is this some form of sorcerer’s workshop? ”

     “Floating around freely sounds rather convenient, though it lacks the powerful impact of walking into a room, yes?“ She eyes the strange man with interest, though strange has lost its luster when she finds herself awake and well in this city once upon a time. Now, it barely serves as a placeholder for a noun tacked onto strangers as she finds their ranking. This one might be an interesting character to watch, though hardly anyone worth granting Rank C to.

“Rank D,” she finally utters. “Might I have your name, dear sir?”

          -- " Rank D? ”

Words repeated in confusion, he was barely even aware that he was the one being addressed had it not been for the fact that she had commented on his preferred method of moving around. Since most humans were incapable of flight, it could almost certainly be presumed that any such notions were directed towards him. That however still didn’t make things clearer for the fairy. Was this child playing some form of human game?

          -- “ I’m sorry, but I don’t really know what you’re talking about. Is this one of those “games” you people seem so fond of? Well, not that it really matters. I’m King. Who are you supposed to be? ”

[youseiou-blog]

I kind of locked myself out of my apartment yesterday so that whole plan about being active didn’t proceed too well... Spending today trying to find my key because I really don’t want to pay 120 dollars for the locksmith to let me in... Probably won’t be in the mood to RP once I do get in tbh this is really darned draining on the energy, don’t lose your keys kids it’s a mess
