Who: tiger boy (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
gekkajuu) & anyone interested
What: gem-hunting fora creepy cultist Overseer Voss! (also a catch-all for other stuff, maybe)
When: this month
Where: all over like a bad rash
Warning(s): none, probably? soosh living the cinnamon roll life. will edit if necessary
Atsushi is enjoying his new job at the stables, but there's not always as much work as he'd like, and while he loves all the animals (well... most of them, anyway), he really misses traveling around to gather samples for the Institute, the way he used to. Nothing made him feel quite as connected with (and at home on) this planet, the way that had.
So when he hears about the Temples asking for crystal drops and other gems - and paying good money for them, too - he decides to go for it. Admittedly his first experience getting those crystal drops was a little -... Well, it was an experience, to say the least. But he'd succeeded - and that means he can do it again, right?
If he runs into any of his friends, either before he leaves or along the way, he'll be happy to continue the quest together and share the profits. And if people he doesn't know seem to be after the same thing? Well, Atsushi for one is happy to work together. The more, the merrier!
1. crystal drops
Enchanted waters sound very nice, but in Atsushi's experience, they're an inconvenience more than anything. Not that his experience gathering crystal drops was bad as such, but it's still left him with a bitter aftertaste. He literally hadn't known what he was getting into. But he's more prepared now, having brought a net of sorts. He can grab a branch to attach it to, and that will make everything far easier to handle! The less wet he gets, the better.
Admittedly, using a net on the rocky bottom of a stream or lagoon isn't the brightest idea he's ever had... but maybe he'll catch something else before he has to get into the (formerly?) enchanted water, after all. And if he transforms his eyes, maybe he can spot the crystal drops from the shore! ... At least: if he gets close enough to the water that the sparkling surface doesn't block his vision.
There's no way that could go wrong or anything.
((OOC: Pick your water effect, if any! Also: feel free to decide whether Atsushi's cub has come along to wreak minor havoc or not.))
2. Flona Cove
While this wasn't exactly a part of Overseer Voss' request, Atsushi remembers the stories of beautiful jewels being found in some of the lagoons here. At the time of the beach party, the weather had been great, and as a result, competition had been fierce enough that Atsushi simply hadn't bothered trying to make an extra buck. Yes, he appreciated earning money - but not at all cost.
Now, however, it's freezing, and nobody in their right mind would dive deep into the water for a few gems that may or may not be worth the effort. But that just makes Atsushi eager to try! Even if Overseer Voss isn't interested, someone else might be interested in some shinies.
Atsushi tries to be prepared, bringing some dry clothes, and making a small fire on the shore to warm himself on after the fact. Will it really be worth the effort? ... Well, if nothing else, he tried.
3. Edrathe Ruins
"There's definitely something there," he half-whispers at the opening of the cave. It's a feeling more than a true observation, but lots of animals would choose a cave to spend the winter at, and Atsushi has a bad feeling about this one.
Still, this is where those other gems are supposedly found, so he'll take his chances.
"Maybe it's hibernating..? If we're quiet, we might not wake it."
It's not a bad idea. At least: not until they find the gems, and those have to be cut free from the cave walls. Maybe Atsushi can be a distraction and lure the beast away, so his partner can focus on the jewels? Of course, there's no better way to test a new friendship than to see if people will just run away with the loot while Atsushi is fighting for his life.
