» OPTION A - CHRISTMAS TREE ENTS «

[Walking, giant trees...is something he's seen and fought before so even though they are clearly peaceful, the idea of maybe trying to get into a fight with one comes to mind.... But he's going to be on good behavior and help with the decorating instead. Plucking off one of the strange egg shaped ornaments, he can't help but turn it in his hand curiously.]

So... We sure nothing is going to come out of these things? What would happen if I tried to boil it? Or maybe cut it...

[The tree ent overhears this and starts shaking its branches in displeasure, and the egg also starts making a weird sound that's something like alarm, so he quickly tries to retract.]

I'm not, I'm not, don't worry.

[...Said with a gaze that he's still thinking about it.

Anyway, after hanging one he takes some of that holly leaf garland and looks at whoever's house he happens to be at.]

So where should I hang this? I can climb up to the very top of the tree if you want it.

» OPTION B: GIFTING SWORDS «

[Not real ones.

Rokurou can be found sitting on the ground with a pile of small wooden swords scattered about him. They all have different shape and design, and while he can't create the swords from scratch, he's at least developed his dreamotion ability enough that when he holds a plain wooden sword, he can channel an idea and emotion to produce something actually tasteful. From simple symbols down the blade to adding a bit of color to the hilt. Since these are essentially "toy" swords he's not going too far out, but it would make any young swordsman like it better than a plain one.

Holding one up and pleased by the simple yet elegant black lines curving around the hilt, he voices his thoughts allowed.]

Heh, any kid will like this. But I wonder if I should try altering the shape next... These are all simple wooden practice swords, but what if I tried to make them different like curved blades or different knives and daggers? That would make me one step closer in creating my own swords, right?

[Or so he hopes and he just hums as he continues.

By the way, the number of swords around him are likely nearing a hundred someone please stop him.]

» OPTION C: ICE FISHING «

[Fishing is another one of Rokurou's pasttimes and he is quick to set out to try his luck at the lake. After finding a spot and cutting through the ice, he sets his pole in place and sits, a cup of sake in hand.

However, instead of a nice relaxing day of fishing, he has to drop everything and hop up when the line suddenly reels out and the pole threatens to break as it bends towards the water]

Whoa—!

[Good thing he set up a brace as he drops to his knees and tries to pull the pole back while reeling the line in. Even so, he just grins.]

Heh, don't think I'll let you get away!

[Oh he's definitely fired up!!! ...Which may not actually be a good thing as he's on ice and usually his high spirited emotions tend to raise up the temperature. Even now, steam is starting to rise up from the ice's surface.]

» OPTION D: GUMDROPS «

[It can happen anywhere. In town, out in the fields, at the lake when he's fishing—wherever it is the gumdrop will strike and now Rokurou and his unfortunate partner must find a way out of it.

Fluff and Mistlefoe are preferred, though will do shippy ones with those who ask!]

» OPTION E: WILDCARD «

[This guy can do a lot of things so open to other quests on the Dream Board! Find (and fight) some noctaere for the Anti-Noctaere Research, help cut out some giant slabs of gingerbread for the Gingerbread House, help out the Coal Mining. Feel free to hit me via PM, discord, or laenavesse!]

Comments

[rokubro]

No problem, glad I could help give Kazuma something.

[A light grin as he hands over the finished wooden blade.]

Sure you don't want something for yourself? Could whip up a dagger or knife instead.

[professorbestie]

[He accepts the blade with a light bow of the head.]

Oh, no, thank you. I'm less of a knife person and more of a 'good cup of tea' person. [Sorry bro, he's boring.] Though, I would be very happy with an introduction. My name is Yujin Mikotoba.

[rokubro]

[Aaah, yes the exchanging of names.]

Rokurou Rangetsu.

[And a polite half bow given that he's still sitting.]

But fair enough. If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me.
