Welcome to the

Dragon Fish Fest!


In celebration of Ryu's birthday (or 'birthday') there's a commotion by the river. Near the theater house there's a tent set up to keep pollen away as well as provide shade for anyone who needs it. There's a hand-painted sign that explains the process.

---

🎣 I - The Tent

The tent has a few chairs set up along with a small plastic table. There's a trophy on top of the table, along with some fishing lures set out in front of it. There's a few spare fishing rods as well as a bucket of worms wriggling around and... possibly being gross. There's a lid on the bucket, but occasionally a brave worm will make it out...

Get ready and mingle, ask questions of the people gathered around, or start admiring the prizes - the day is young and it looks like a lovely time ahead of you all, so start getting ready! And check your supplies - it wouldn't do to get caught out without everything you need!

🎣 II - The River

The river is teeming with fish - it's not exactly packed scale to scale with them, but with a little patience, skill, and luck most kinds of freshwater fish from all kinds of worlds can be found. From Hylian Loach to Martian Squid, get out there and find whatever weird kinds of fish your hearts desire. (Just be reasonable about it, for the sake of your fishing rods if nothing else!)

Of course, things are known to happen - sometimes a fish will steal your bait. Sometimes a fish might leap out of the water and smack you in the face. Sometimes a fish might... sing to you? It's a dream world, after all. These are dream fish, so who knows what they're going to do?

🎣 III - The Ceremony

Everything has been leading up to this. In the evening, everyone is gathered around to see who the winner is of the biggest fish prize. The runners up are getting some of the fishing lures, but the winner is going to get the trophy. There's a little bit of a commotion from the front though as Ryu seems to be slightly... panicky.

"A-are you sure? Are you really sure that no one else did - um. Okay." He turns to look at the rest of the group and ducks his head. "I... um. I guess - I guess I should announce the winner. I... the winner is... um. The winner is... um... me?" His voice is a little more than a squeak, but... well. Protest if you'd like, but there's definitely a sheet with the fish sizes written down.

[[ooc; This result was chosen by RNG from those signed up on the OOC post! ... On three different dice. I swear they all came up with the same number.]]

🎣 IV - The Feast

The smell of fish wafts from the tent as the evening turns towards night. Fish have been de-boned and skewered, treated with a variety of toppings and spices and lack thereof. A few people seem to have brought other food and drink - Ryu's brought some beef and some mashed potato, which may or may not go with fish depending on your opinion.

The fire's roaring and the insects are buzzing. It's a perfect night to just hang out by the gently flowing river and talk - or get up to shenanigans. The latter is up to you.

This time, Husk lets out a low chuckle. "As a gambler, I know all about luck."

Husk pauses a moment, considers the questions that would come from his statement, and speaks. "Not lettin' you into my casino. Nobody who works there ain't gonna go easy on ya. Gamblin's actually kinda a dangerous thing if you don't know what you're doin'.

's kinda why I'm not a good person..."

Husk might not realize that advising this word of caution miiiiight just make him a good person.

[amnesiadragon]

"I've done a little gambling with the faeries but I don't... really know what a casino is." And his currency was limited there. ... And it was more stock market than cards for the most part.

"And anyone can be a good person if they want to try..." He's met some people who haven't wanted to try, is all.

[grumpface]

"Startin' to sound like someone I know. Her name's Charlie. She's a princess. I kinda sorta work for her."

Just going to try to avoid going into detail with the gambling.

[amnesiadragon]

"Oh! One of my best friends is a princess! Her name is Nina! She's from Wyndia! She's got big pink wings. ... They're kind of fluffy, too."

... He is not aware that most people would associate those with an angel, no.

[grumpface]

...Husk's own wings slightly twitch as he raises a brow.

"Wings, huh? Was... she born with 'em?"

[amnesiadragon]

"I'm pretty sure she was? I think most members of the Wing Clan would just... based on their name."

There's a reason Husk being a giant talking cat doesn't even register with Ryu.

[grumpface]

This is... different.

"...Well, I ain't from any winged clan. I know Earth only has humans and heaven has angels. The place I came from? There's all sorts of diverse forms from what I look like to Angel Dust and Alastor to people that look like red humanoids or blue shark people, just to name a few."

[amnesiadragon]

"... Huh? There's a lot of different clans. Wing Clan, Grass Runners, Earth-Eating Clan, Creeping Clan... they all look really different. I don't even know what 'angels' are. I only know what 'humans' are a little bit because of what I've read in books."

It's weird! Why are they the only race in so many worlds? That makes no sense!

[grumpface]

"We come from different worlds," Husk points out. "What a rule or fact in yours may not be so in my world. And people become angels, or more specifically, winners, when they die and if they're good. Though, the definition of what counts as a 'good person'...

...turns out it's not as cut-and-dry as everyone from my world thought it was."

Don't put the pieces together and find out Husk is a Sinner Demon don't put the pieces together and find out Husk is a Sinner Demon don't put the pieces together and find out Husk is a Sinner Demon-

[amnesiadragon]

"I know, it's just... still weird to think of an entire race being the only species in a world." He shakes his head. And 'a good person'... he doesn't know what a 'sinner' is so there's no chance of that, but... "Good and bad are... hard."

As he's found out, much to his dismay. "I don't think most people can be 'bad people' unless they just refuse to turn away from things over and over and intentionally hurt people over and over... or unless they do something super awful. ... I've seen a few examples. ... But you don't seem like that kind of person to me."
