seventh shot ⊗ open april log
Who: Eustace and anyone
Which: Open April Log
Where: Various
What: Cat bees; mandragoras; flower pruning; crystal fishing; observatory
Warnings: None just shenanigans
⊗ a: quest 401: cat bees
[Some might think the cat bees are cute and mostly harmless. And for the most part they are—
Unless one is a dog that grows flowers on their coats.
Anyone around the neighborhood will hear a lot of barking and some yelps as there is a back and forth between the Flower dogs and the cat bees chasing each other. The more timid pups yelp and run away, seeking any kind of cover to fend off the bees. The more rambunctious ones are barking and trying to chase them away, leaping at them and not caring when a few of the cat bees hiss and try to go after them. Whether the cat bees are interested in their flowers at this point or not is up in the air. In any case, this is the scene Eustace and anyone else around will find throughout the month while the cat bees are around.]
Damn pests... There are other flowers you can go to, scram!
[Eustace in particular has his hackles raised, especially when Valerian whimpers and he has to pick up the scaredypup and shield him. Electricity is starting to fill the air, and although he's trying not to be too aggressive, if any of those bees actually sting or smother a pup, he is ready to singe more than a few.
Should anyone be around they are more than welcome to try and help chase off the bees. Perhaps using one of the many large flowers nearby will help? Or use a mandragora to scare them off—please no]
⊗ b: quest 403: singing plants
[Eustace isn't actually in the are to pluck the plants. He's a bit wary of what a singing plant could do...and he's proven right when he happens to be in the area and someone pulls one of the plants out, revealing itself to be a screeching mandragora. They shriek in surprise and run, leaving it exposed to the ground. With his hearing as sensitive as it is, it's even worse for him, his ears actually flattening momentarily as he reaches up to cover them.
Taking matters into his own hands, he grits his teeth and pulls out his gun, lightning already crackling and gathering around him.]
Stand back, I'm destroying that plant and this entire field once and for all...!
[DON'T LET HIM DESTROY THE FIELD—]
⊗ c: quest 407: seasons of love
[The other plant problem Eustace ends up having constantly throughout the month is the large amount of flowers that keeps appearing on and around his tree. And by large amount, it's like having huge roses and lilies just springing up all over the tree to the point it's hard to tell there's even a tree there.]
...
[Staring up at it, he runs an aggravated hand through this hair and sighs before muttering under his breath.]
What if I just burn it...
[Of course not he wouldn't want to actually destroy it all. ...But given the sheer amount, this is going to be. Annoying. So if anyone happens to pass by the edge of the neighborhood or wondering where there are hundreds of flower petals falling into their trees and yards, they'll find Eustace slowly but diligently trying to cut down the flowers, a large pile the size of himself already formed.]
⊗ d: quest 408: crystal fishing
[For a change of pace, Eustace takes a few early mornings and late afternoons to try the crystal fishing out on the lake. It's a good opportunity for him to just have some downtime from...everything else. Plus it had been a while since he last fished.
He knows the crystals are supposed to be filled with positive emotions...and after certain nights he's able to stockpile quite a bit. But there are a few that are filled calmer emotions as well.
He'll be utilizing both the shore and a small row boat, and while he'll keep to himself, he'll note anyone else who might be around, even offer a few crystals if needed.]
⊗ e: observatory
[This whole dreamshift changing the city of Reverein to a different city called Verens is...an interesting phenomenon to say the least. Is this something the could occur again? What conditions are needed for it? A lot of questions that he'll doubt he'll get answers, but at least it seems harmless...
For now.
While most things are similar, Eustace doesn't miss taking the opportunity to explore and investigate the changes. One particular place he's interested in is the Observatory. Hearing that the people there are studying dreams and that it's a large telescope piques his curiosity and a few afternoons and evenings he'll make his way there to see if there's anything to be found. Of course, since this is a dreamshift who knows if there's anything that could actually be seen.]
The telescope... Does it look outside the world or into dreams...
[Staring up at him, he mutters to himself before walking towards it, prepared to take any notes he can.
note: this prompt can be used for general exploration of the town's current state as well!]

[Open to other prompts! Feel free to hit me up on discord, PM, or
laenavesse for questions or further discussion!]
no subject
So just an awkward clearing of his throat as the remaining mandragora stare at him.]
...Sorry for earlier.
[Staaaaare.]
......I'll help bring the others and won't threaten your group again.
[Listen if one of these mutates into a giant sized monster that wants to hurt people bets are off. But these little ones will be safe.
Still feels awkward and weird to be talking to the little plants. WILL THEY ACCEPT HIS AWKWARD APOLOGY.]
no subject
Trahearne watches as the mandragoras stare at Eustace in an awkward silence, then the ones present burrow into the sunny patches alongside the first one. Apology begrudgingly accepted, it seems like.
But Trahearne is pretty satisfied with the apology. And how things turned out. He looks to Eustace with a nod and a smile. ]
I suppose that's that, then. Let's go get the cart.
no subject
So there's a small nod.]
Should be a farm over this way. We can also inform them of the mandragora field so they can be aware.
