[As far as John was concerned, he and Momo made for a really great team. She had a lot of great ideas, they knocked that story quest out of the park (with Izuku's help) and in general she seemed like someone with a good head on her shoulders. That, and at least she knew what the fuck they were actually going after.

Momo said "spider demon" and John thinks of a certain spider-y girl before he takes off to meet Momo at the edge of the forest. He's not armed, currently, but it won't take like for him to summon his hammer should he need it.]

So when you say spider demon, does that mean we have eight legs and eight eyes we have to dodge?

[Info found here]

[Even if geese are assholes and even if they are mutant geese, John is fairly certain that it will be remarkably easy to corral twelve of them. They're probably not that big and between him and Shouto they should be able to gather them in no time. He'd told Shouto to meet him at the well since it was easiest at the time and it's for that reason that he's leaving and heading that way.

Once at the well though, and once he sees Shouto, he'll lift a hand in a wave before settling down to the ground again.]

Do you think there's a limit to how many blues can catch a ton of geese?

[Info found here]

[Is he excited to learn a new instrument? Yes, obviously, and even though that isn't what this quest is about he's equally excited to do the music thing and play with other people. He's not sure he'll be that great at teaching given he learned how to play when he was so young, but at the same time maybe that makes him a little bit of an expert.

He sends Riku a message with the address for the place he's staying in Ruga, waiting out front for the other boy to show up while bouncing on the balls of his feet. As soon as he spots Riku he zips forward to greet him.]

Hey, you made it! Are you ready to get started?

[Info found here]

[Sometime later in the day while John and Riku are teaching each other, John opens the window to let some air into the house. As such, while they're busy screwing around and attempting to play the notes, music will drift out and into the middle of the road in Ruga. While he plays a string of notes on the piano, he can also be heard speaking to Riku.]

So what you want to do is place your fingers here and go slow, like...[And he plays a scale.]

[It's not really surprising that Minato's going to be attracted to wherever he can hear music. He was poking around the Town, trying to see whatever other new colors have popped up (because the stars were unmistakeable last night), when he hears those notes.

Oh...?

Hi, he's definitely poking his head in curiously. That's probably way too familiar but also, they all basically know each other in this town anyway.

...Well, okay, he doesn't know Riku, but.]

Oh... hello.

[Minato, don't just stick your head into the window.]

[Since there are three of them, each of the party only needs to pick up four geese each. Even if they absolutely are the terrors he's expecting, four isn't that big of a number.

Shouto gives a small wave back.]

Probably not? Unless there are only a certain number of geese out there.

[Momo feels much the same. John's a good partner, and she'll happily trust him against something she's pretty sure she could deal with on her own given preparation time. She's gathered up the long bladed polearm she'd made the first day for this exploration. The weapon was a bit stained with plant gore, but that stuff never comes out. Yuck.]

That depends on who's telling the story.

Knowing this place? I'm inclined to think it's going to have a spider body and a human top half. Like a centaur. Something out of a fairy tale.

That sounds even more gross than I'd pictured but I think we can deal with that. If we go for the spider part of the body there is no chance of her attacking us with the human part. She'd be immobile. So that'll be our strategy! Take out the legs, dispose of the body.

[Even as the day's gone on, Riku hasn't lost even a tiny bit of interest in playing together with John. Humming along with the scale, he nods and places his hand on the same keys one octave up.]

Okay, I can do that!

[But before he gives it a try, the presence of someone behind him makes him turn around, and.... hello, stranger.]

Oh, hi! Did you want to play too?

[Minato may be a stranger to him, but given the way the town works, they're all kind of like neighbours stuck in the same situation! It's totally fine to invite someone he doesn't know to play a piano that.... isn't his.... right?]

[Quest or not, the promise of learning how to play something new with a friend is exciting. He'd started learning the guitar quite some time ago, despite singing being his specialty, but piano is definitely new! Of course, Riku doesn't waste any time bounding over to John with a bright smile the moment their eyes meet, waving all the while.]

Yeah, I can't wait! I brought my guitar, just as promised!

[Not that he really needs to clarify it, since the case is clearly on his back, but hey.]

[ Vriska's here, a curled up ball in midair, tangled limbs and hair and her usual air of apathy. Shouto gets a small smile, but that's about it. ]

What are we supposed to do with them once we have them? I don't remember if it said.

[He keeps a careful eye on Vriska but he's nodding along to what Shouto says. To address Vriska though he hums under his breath.]

The thing just said "capture a dozen geese" but it didn't say anything after that. If we're capturing them that probably means we have to take them somewhere else. Capturing them and then letting them go sounds like a waste.

Sweet. This will be great! I did the student-teacher thing when Guren assigned all of us sparring partners but I have never actually taught someone specific skills I'm actually good at. Which one should we start with first? [But he's heading into the house, motioning for Riku to follow.]

[He manages a small smile back fro Vriska before going back to the problem at hand.]

Usually those kind of quests means we bring them back to the town.

... I guess we're going to have 12 loud geese running around.

[Minato what the hell. He doesn't even necessarily mind that Minato's sticking his head in the window but he lets up from the keys to wave at his friend.]

Hey dude! [He gestures to Riku then.] Have you met Riku? I have been teaching him how to play the piano and he's going to teach me guitar basics! [...] You know where the front door is.

[Minato's been here before. Get out of the window you dork.]

[ John don't you give her looks. She feels it, but doesn't look at him, not wanting to tip Shouto off that there's something here to worry about.

The look on her face is unimpressed, but she unfolds herself and stands flat on the ground. ]

Can't be worse than any of the other nonsense you guys have told me about. So, let's get started, I guess?

[#don'ttrustvriska

But anyway, he nods and he gestures for the two of them to follow him, heading for the woods and assuming that the geese are that way.]

If we're dividing them up that's four each. If anything they might be like the other animals here which means they're going to look weird. As long as they are not superpowered geese we should be fine.

[What, why?

That's where everything else they were told to find was, the woods seem as good a place as any. Shouto follows right behind.]

Have you seen any super powered animals around yet?

[ EXCUSE ME #VRISKAISVERYTRUSTWORTHY #FUCKYOU

Anyway. Hands in her pockets she'll follow along after them. ]

No, but it wouldn't surprise me? Even if they did, it shouldn't cause any of the three of us too much trouble, probably. Just be cautious.

[ coming from vriska that's hilarious

but

mostly

she's saying that to john. and this time she look at him.

rather pointedly. ]

[Onward and forward...]

So far I have only seen mutated animals but I wouldn't be surprised either? [He lifts his eyebrows and pointedly ignores that look from Vriska.] I think we have a pretty cautious group so it'll be fine!

[With these famous last words, John heads into the woods with Shouto and Vriska and sticks close.] If they're around we will probably hear them honking. It'll give us an idea of where to go.

That sounds good to me. Only...are you bothered by spiders?

[Momo isn't (so brave!) but she can sort of tell John's weirded out by this.]

I hope none of them are super intelligent. The principal of our school's quirk is like that.

[He goes quiet, listening for the honking. It's faint, but it definitely sounds like they're somewhere ahead of them.]

They don't sound close yet.

[ ha ha har. well, she'll keep them from any total disaster, she thinks. she can do that.

vriska keeps her hands stuffed in her pockets, ambling along slightly behind the other two. ]

This is the lamest adventure ever.

[ like, she's just saying. ]

We'll keep going then. I've been on lamer adventures, like treasure hunting. [It's casual and not serious, mostly throwing shade. He's heading at an even pace, keeping quiet for a second to follow the faint honking.]

What do you mean the principal's quirk is like that? He's an intelligent animal?

You went treasure hunting? [That doesn't sound too bad. The last time he had an adventure it was rescuing one of his classmates. He'd rather not do that one again.]

Yeah. Nobody's sure what kind of animal he is though. He says bear-rat-dog, but he looks like a really big mouse. I think.
