» 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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He only laughs and spares Eizen a quick glance as he pulls back on the rod.]

Like this fish can withstand the strength of a daemon! But what took you so long?

You can't rush perfection, ya know! I had to make sure my rod was strong enough to beat you!

[ But Eizen approaches him faster with a dumb grin on his face. ]

Hah, that's if you even get a bite!

[And man, is the fish he's hook a strong one! He has to let it run before pulling back again, but he has enough strength and endurance to handle it!

Question is, does the ice.]

I'm sure I'll get more bites than you.

[ Was there a sound just now? Nah, must be his imagination. This Ice was rather sturdy after all. ]

You need help there?

The only help I'll need from you is remembering the moment I haul this fish up!

[Is the ice trembling a bit? Is that steam rising as Rokurou continues to battle furiously with the fish? Was that a crack from somewhere around them??]

[ Okay, he definitely just heard a crack just now. But where was it coming from? Eizen continued approaching Rokurou with very slow and careful steps, but it just seemed a little too easy— ]

H-Hey. Did you hear somethin?

The only thing I hear is the sound of this fish about to hit ice once it's out!

[And from the depths they really can see the shadow of the fish as it thrashes at the end of the line. And to be fair to Rokurou, with him focused on the fish, the constant whirrr of the reel, and the water splashing, it's no wonder he doesn't notice another crack from somewhere.]

[ Damn, it seems like Rokurou was really going to reel in a big one! Eizen wanted to see how big the fish was, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he could hear— ]

No, that was definitely the sound of a crack...!

[ Eizen whipped around, causing more movement on the ice than probably should be. ]

[So close... SO CLOSE................................

But Rokurou's excitement tipped the scales—or rather the ice—over the breaking point, and just as he's about to pull up the fish, the ice they're standing on shakes. This surprises him, causing him to stagger, and as if sensing the disturbance the fish yanks hard on the line, snapping it.]

What, no—!!!!

[And alas, that burst of frustration completely cracks the ice, a giant ring snapping around them that jostles the piece they're standing on.]

[ Eizen was about to reach out to him, but the jostling ice sends him to the ice, ass first. Unfortunately that jostles them even more, causing the ice around them to crack at a faster pace. ]

The hell?!

[With the fish gone, Rokurou is now more able to move freely, but he can't really do much with the ice moving.]

Dammit, come on before it's too late!

[And kind of slip sliding over to Eizen to try and help ~~his heavy ass~~ him up.]
