[whichcraft]

WHO: Summer and YOU
WHERE: Prompts are specifically in Bluo and Flavo but you can catch her anywhere in Chroma, really.
WHEN: Mid- to end of March! New arrivals are very welcome.
WHAT: Open starters for Quest 48 and Quest 51, for anybody looking to complete those!
WARNINGS: None that I can think of! I'll update as needed.



I — QUEST 48 (OTA, she's a red!)

[There's actually relatively little to do for general everyday entertainment in Chroma if you're not doing the quests posted to the forum, and this month's complement of them had definitely caught Summer's eye — not least of which because most of them are either so vague as to be conveniently easy to accomplish, or so straightforward that there's not a lot of hoops to jump through in order to complete them. Like hell she's about to let herself be thrown into the harbor, though, and she's not particularly eager to swap bodies with anyone, but the others? She is a red, after all, and the one about remembering someone who's gone...

Well. She's got plenty of experience with clinging to nothing but memories, doesn't she.

It's really just a question of what she wants to do for the remembrance one, really, and while she thinks it over, she goes to hang out by the library in Bluo, setting up a hand-lettered sign that reads:

BE AN ANIMAL FOR AN HOUR
(a quest-worthy new experience!)

Offer not available to people who can already transform into animals. Area witch accepts no liability for dumb shit you may do while in animal form. Standard data and message rates apply.

She's sitting nearby, sketching something in a notebook propped up on her knees, if you care to inquire.]



II — QUEST 51 (OTA)

[Eventually, though, she seems to have figured out what it is she wants to do for Quest 51, and that means all that she needs is a passerby to share it with her. She's taking up residence for this one out near the apple trees in the garden in Flavo, so if you're in that area, you may just be approached by a petite redhead in a long black cloak with a blue jay on her shoulder and a look of determination in her eyes.]

Hey, can I borrow you for a sec? It's for a quest. You don't really have to do anything other than stand around and witness the majesty, okay? Super simple.



III — WILDCARD

[Want to do a different quest? Want her to throw you into the harbor? Want to meet up with Summer somewhere else for an entirely different reason? Wildcard her up!]

[Shoulder getto! He stills enough to let her rest there, but once a fidget starts, it's hard to stop.]

And you said we should explore the woods together with people we're close to, right? That'll be a lot harder for anyone who just got here. So let's not be complacent! Let's find stuff out for everybody.

[whichcraft]

Yeah. The last time I went in on an adventure, it showed me visions of you.

[If she picks her head up, it's only long enough to push a kiss against his cheek at the mention of those visions, before setting it back down again.]

And all the ghosts out there were all caught up in thinking about their missing lovers. The woods are definitely bae-aligned.

[photoshooter]

[Her little smooch cuts off a round of displeased sounds at the pass, and he settles again beneath the weight of her, mollified.]

Ghosts.

[Indiana Jones voice: Why does it have to be ghosts? But he thinks about it and then asks, cheerfully enough:]

But if they're really full of ghosts, shouldn't the woods be boo-aligned?

[whichcraft]

[That gets a laugh out of her, as she bumps her head against his neck and snickers.]

There you go. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here, unless you're coming with your boo-yfriend or your ghoulfriend.

[photoshooter]

Do most of the people who go exploring actually go with their SOs? ...Are the haunted monster-filled woods our town's hottest date spot? Oh em gee.

[MODS, WAS THIS THE INTENDED TAKEAWAY, OR??]

[whichcraft]

...I mean.

[THAT...MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE TAKEAWAY P...oh lordy]

Until somebody gets their shit together and opens a Denny's...kinda?

[photoshooter]

Wait, Denny's? That's not short for Denny Crow's, is it?

[whichcraft]

If it is, that's news to me. What's Denny Crow's?

[OH BOY, WORLD BULLSHIT.]

[photoshooter]

Oh, nothing, it's just we've got this chain restaurant called the Crow's Nest and its mascot is Kenny Crow, and it's just... Okay, no, tell me about this Denny's thing. Is it like a diner? French fries, milkshakes?

[whichcraft]

It's the world's shittiest diner. Like imagine the kind of place that's so terrible they just have pictures on the menu so you don't have to read it. You just point at the thing you want when the waitress comes by.

[She grins.]

That's the magic of Denny's.

[photoshooter]

It's knockoff Kenny Crow's.

[He is delighted. And then he remembers he has his camera in hand, and he scoots in closer (though they're already close enough, so he kind of just bumps her with his body), encircles her with his arms, and pages through his gallery until he finds it.]

That's Kenny up there. See?

[whichcraft]

Holy fuck.

[She leans over to peer at it, taking it all in with that particular brand of delight and horror that so commonly comes associated with shitty diners.]

I don't think Denny's has a terrifying mascot but I have to say that really adds to the sketchy charm of the place. It looks like there's a 40/60 chance you'd get food poisoning from any given plate and the only people working there are a surly waitress named Carla and a line cook named Lou.
