August ALL THE THINGS (Quests and Open)
Who: Umemiya and you
When: August 2025
Where: In town, The Spire, Quest Locations
Summary: Umemiya settles in, offers his services, and starts getting to work
Warnings: None yet
Note: I default to prose; feel free to flip me to brackets
1. If it can be broke, then it can be fixed [Open, Around Town]
Now that he's gotten the tour and begun to meet everyone, Umemiya's exploring the town on his own--stopping by shops and cafes to introduce himself to the staff, pausing to kick a ball around with a young Ledyba, generally starting to integrate with society. If you're out and about on this lovely summer day, you might get the broadest smile that his snout-face is capable of, and a warm greeting.
"Hey! How's your day going, so far?" Teenage enthusiasm is on full display.
2. If it can be fused, then it can be split [Open, The Spire]
In the process of making friends out in town, one fact Umemiya's volunteered about himself is that he's looking for sparring partners, and he's up to the task of training others how to fight. All anyone needs to do is send him a Grumpearl message, and he'll be glad to meet them in the Spire's training rooms (or to escort them in, if they're from another guild).
Once he and his new training partner have secured one of the training rooms for themself, Umemiya's ears perk up. "So, where should we start?"
3. If if can be lost, then it can be won [For A.B.A, Carts before Charts]
Umemiya shows up to the part of the forest where resource gathering is taking place in a chipper mood, his aura-sensing tendrils tied back loosely with a scarf so they're not a distraction while they work. The young Lucario is about average height for his species, doing a few warm-up stretches to prepare for the upcoming workout. After all, it'd suck to strain anything on his very first quest.
4. If it can be touched, then it can be turned [For Ren, Home on Arrange]
Umemiya is eager to Do Teamwork with Ren, after how their first meeting went. Like, clearly they're cut from the same cloth, and will accomplish great things together. But he's also aware of how the small green cat is limping still.
"Hey. Are you sure you're up for this?" He's leaning against a tree at the edge of the designated area for the outpost, watching Ren's approach.
X. So here we are, reinventing the wheel [Wildcard]
[Feel free to hit me with anything else you're into! My discord and plurk are both darkersolstice if you wanna hit me for anything.]

Their first goal, it seems, is setting up part of the foundation of one of the outpost buildings, getting stones in place and making sure it's even and stable.
no subject
He observes their first task, taking note of what to do. His ear flicks, and he turns to Umemiya again.
"You wanna grab the stones? I'll try and figure out the best way to place 'em." Simple enough, and something for both of them to do. Umemiya's definitely in a better shape to carry them, anyway.

His ears twitch when the Lucario returns, looking up. "Good timing. I've got an idea of where to start."
Ren relays his plans to Umemiya, showing where he thinks they best start, and how to keep everything as even as possible so they don't have to worry much about reshuffling the stones when they're done placing them. That said, he's no architect, so...
"... If you've got any notes, I'd be glad to hear 'em."

"Only note I've got is that if we start on the east side, we'll be able to create shade from the morning sun while we work, and it won't be quite so grueling. But everything you said about the organization and leveling makes perfect sense."
no subject
"Good point. Let's do that," he says. He stretches himself to try and rid himself of any greater aches, before turning to the stones. "Let's get started, then."
He hops onto the wheelbarrow Umemiya brought, and pushes a rock down with some effort in order to roll it to its proper spot. No time like the present!
