random event It's Flowerbirth, and things sure do happen! Especially here in the Feverlands, where there's not much space to do more than fuck around and try not to die. And fuck around is the flavour of the moment, especially if one is to approach the very fringes of the swamp, where the water is not quite so, er... chewy. A man sits upon a bank, his hood drawn up around his face, a collection of colourful fishing rods placed next to him. In the water, things are bobbing around, ready to be caught for some faaaaaaabulous prizes! "Roll up, roll up," the man calls, despite not knowing what it means. "Hook a duck, reveal a gold star and win!" WELCOME TO THE DROP! You have 48 hours to post your character arriving to investigate the mysterious hooded man and his game of hook-a-...duck? (You hope it's a duck). The prize for winning this drop will be 500MP! |

Caido was weird and sometimes Tal got the urge to go places without really understanding why, but when this one had hit he'd grabbed Alys from their Stormbreak explorations and set sail for the Feverlands. Which weren't originally one of the planned stops on their Caido tour, but when curiosity grabbed you and shook you by the scruff, fuck it, you made time for a side trip to see the world's largest golf tee or ball of twine or... Or duck... fishing... experience? The Messenger wrinkled his nose and traded a wry look with his friend before stepping right up and picking a bright orange fishing rod from the stack. "Well... it probably won't hurt... right?" he asked Alys hopefully. "Uh... what, exactly, do we win?" he asked the old man, even as he tossed his line in the water and started fishing for a... duck(??).

Lena and sweetest in the gale is heard
and sore must be the storm Lena didn’t frequent the Feverlands often; save for a few more investigations of plant life lately – hoping she didn’t find anything as perilous or dangerous as the other newfound vegetation.
What she didn’t expect was a man near a swamp, with fishing rods, and…bobbing things. Too practical and perplexed to do anything else but blink rapidly, look around, see if anyone else was…viewing this, she heard some others talking, before finally strolling up too. She wasn’t quite certain what was going on, and wasn’t easily lured by prizes or anything fanciful, but perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad. “Hello,” she ended up offering with a single, low-wave. “Could I give it a try?” that could abash the little bird that kept so many warm

troy falls a thousand times // in every dream i dream
Let’s just say she’s gotten a bit lost while sating her blood lust. Of course, she’d left a note for Fox, letting him know she’s taking a bit of a trek to get a few items to try and bring a bit more sunshine in the house. How she ends up in the Feverlands? Well, she’s gotten herself a bit turned around chasing after some poor prey in the mindless state of the bloodlust that she was in. But it appears all is not lost, not with the group forming and a stranger speaking. It certainly piques her interest. So she wanders toward the voice, listening to the mention of prizes for some… Kind of game? It looks like? Confusion blooms around her face but she settles next to the water’s edge, carefully stepping up to take one of the fishing rods and throwing out the line, her tail curling somewhat nervously around her leg as she focuses her horned head toward the fishing line. Kiada starts to try and fish for a duck? Citizenship Ability: The world is new to you, and you to it.

Glancing up, something catches your eye. Not the moon, or at least, not that moon. Faintly, just off to the side where the moon hangs bright and clear, seems to be another moon. Or at least, a very large star. Is it...getting closer?

Alys Glasse Honestly, Alys would just as soon have gone home, but seeing as Talyson had ferried her here and there on their world tour of Caido, she felt obligated to go along with his strange urge to visit the Feverlands, even if she didn't quite understand what it was about the godsforsaken place that called to him so. So it was that the pair of friends arrived to find a man sitting upon a bank near the water, an assortment of colorful fishing rods around him, calling out what appeared to be an invitation. Alys's brows snapped together in confusion. Were those ducks? Caido just got weirder and weirder, didn't it? Exchanging a helpless look with her friend, Alys hesitantly selected a rod and copied Tal's motions to begin fishing... for a duck, apparently? ------ Alys fishes for a duck?

Hotaru
I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines Hotaru isn't expecting a crowd out in the Feverlands, much less a crowd comprised almost entirely of her favorite people. Even the strangeness of a man sitting on the edge of the swamp offering fishing poles and enchanting all around with his offer of a prize can't dampen her newly positive mood. until the poets run out of rhyme Taking her time as she waves and hugs her hellos to the Halovians (and Kiada) in attendance, Hotaru plucks a fishing pole and maneuvers around to find an empty space before casting it out. It plops in with an unnerving sound, but there's nothing to be done about that. Wondering if the ducs are living creatures - and not the type to care for things like rules or expectations - Hotaru calls upon her lightning to infuse her side of the swamp in a small radius as deep as she can cast it, hoping to drive any ducks closer to the surface or send them scattering to the sides to hook onto one of her fellows. - - - Hotaru picks a pole and uses her Mastered Lightning in her area of the swamp to try and scare the ducks into view or toward her pole.

Everest Having seen the gathering crowd while flying La Verbena nearby, looking for bits of blighted Flora that Mateo might be able to grow, the botanist had spotted the gathering crowd and signaled for Ever to land. "Have you noticed that a random crowd is almost never a good sign." The aviator mumbled under his breath, ensuring the boat was properly moored where she wouldn't be slurped up by the boggy ground.
Glancing at the figure cautiously, Ever whispers over his shoulder, "Maybe I can snag one from the air?" So saying, he shifts, and on large golden wings, he makes a quick loop overhead in order to properly be able to coast, before diving down to snatch up a duck in his talons.

candlewax & polaroids on the hardwood floor
"What," Flora purrs, "-is all of this?" Appearing at Hotaru 's side and leaning her chin on her mother's shoulder in order to better peer down into the water, the girl frowns at the 'game' underway. Watching with slightly narrowed eyes to try and figure out if there was a trick to it all—honestly, it seemed more like just a game of luck than anything else—Flora pulls back from her mother in order to edge herself next to the pond. "It would be such a shame if someone with telekinesis just lifted up the ducks to show where the star was." She called loudly with a shrug, watching the colourful blobs bouncing up and down. Reaching for a rod and tipping the strange figure a wink, Flora picked a duck at random and threw her line trying to hook it.

your scars shine like dark stars
your wounds are where the light shines through While once Noah was confined to the icy tundra that he called home, and again confined to the Hollowed Grounds, now he was free (and it was easier now more than ever to travel the world between his compass, which somehow landed him in King’s End, and his magic). Free to move and traverse and do now what was needed of him next. Which was how he found himself in this end of the world. First it was King’s End, and then as a few strange plants pulled him by his curiosity and Vi’s concern, the Feverlands.
A group gathered and Noah found more than one familiar face before he saw what they were all doing. His brow etched deep as he looked at all of the people gathered — more of them were his friends than not, more familiar to him that unfamiliar. He nodded to each of them in turn, even Kiada, before taking a pole and starting to “fish”. Noah grabs a pole and fishes…for a duck… Regional Score bonus: +3 in all shrine visits, drops, PQ+s, KQs, etc. (You must post this at the bottom of any post where a +3 should be included) Magic: Wise Hunter (FEAT) | Animals roll with disadvantage against Noah.

I have never feared the storm
Sah's truly not sure what he's looking at. He'd been passing through the Feverlands on a hunt when he'd spotted the crowd. People appear to be fishing for ducks with poles and every tactic that they can think of. The man leading it all is suspicious, to say the least, yet curiosity prevails and the Wild Thunder approaches, "I'd like to give it a go as well."
While he's tempted to use magic, he decides against it. The man hasn't stated any rules of how they can fish, but he doesn't want to be disqualified for using anything other than the rods. The man might turn out to be a hostile creature hiding in human skin for all he knows. ~ Sah gives it a try! Sah

Koa
Now I just want to play on my panpipes "Ducks, eh? Not something you see every day."I just want to drink me some wine Let's skip the part where we make up a reason for Koa being in the Feverlands and just agree that drop logic is weird. Sidling up to Flora and the (very beautiful) woman she's with, the young Dragoon raises an eyebrow, looking pointedly between the blondes and the birds. He's snagged a fishing pole from the pile, which he now brandishes like a sword. "Don't worry, fair Queens. I will capture the beast in your honor, or else fall trying!" So having gallantly declared, the young man casts his line into the water, eager to snag a hopefully-duck and thus impress Flora (and her mom). Koa does the thing As soon as you're born you start dyin' So you might as well have a good time

The last time he had felt a strange pull towards the Wilds, he had lost one of his dearest friends. This time Hadama Aquaported towards the source of his unease with far more wariness, appearing deeper into the more liquid waters of the swamp and swimming slowly towards the gathered crowd. He hung back at first, simply watching until he thought he understood what was going on (and giving whatever shared the water with him a wide berth. And staying out of the way of Hotaru's lightning), and nodding to his friends and allies among the landwalkers already present. He had in fact practiced the human style of fishing before, even if it had been many seasons back. He was not good at it, but he understood the mechanics of it. "Hmm. Have we met before?" he asked the Mysterious Hooded Figure as he spun a rod from ice and attempted to mimic what the others were doing with their own reels. Hadama arrives and speaks to their host. Also tries to fish with a rod because all the cool kids are doing it.
