Akech-All for October

Who: Akechi, quest partners, and YOU!
What: Various quests + one OPEN prompt
Where: Various locations
When: Throughout October
Warnings: Borb in a cloak

Woodn't You Know It - Cedric;

[It hardly surprised Akechi that Mightyena would choose him as Cedric's... tutor. Setting aside his high standing in the guild, he's one of the only birds among their lot. And, seeing how Akechi's had over half a year to accquaint himself with the ways of guild life, a simple quest like this shouldn't be an issue at all.

Plus, as birds, they have the advantage of flight to make transporting supplies more manageable.

So, as they make their way through the forest, Akechi scans their surroundings for viable wood. For the sake of extra preparedness, he's brought a basket with which they can carry their load.]


I doubt they're expecting as much as they would from larger birds, but we should still try to make a good impression. How used to aerial movement are you?

Geistly Behavior - Archnemon, Anasui;

[How did Akechi end up in this situation?

Obviously, he was going to attack the ghosts. He has the type advantage, and the fall is a pivotal season for harvesting crops...

But Anasui and Archnemon are both psychic types. Ergo, they are weak to ghosts. Ergo, Akechi is the only one without a type disadvantage. Though, Anasui is a bird, and psychic types are known for their variable moves...

Still, to be safe, he's whipped up a Tailwind to enhance their speed, and has chosen to take to the front of the pack to divert ghostly attention.

Speaking of which, there's some giggling from the pumpkin patch.]


All right. I believe that's our cue...

Intimidation Tactics - Kinger, Chara;

[It had to be tunnels...

Fortunately, as a resident of the Spire, Akechi is used to navigating the terrain. There's less room for vertical movement, but just enough for him to comfortably hover and ascend ever soo slightly. As he often does on missions, he's whipped up a Tailwind to hasten their search.]


Bear in mind that Tailwind only lasts a short duration. I can reapply it, of course, but we'll want to take advantage of our boosted speed in case we encounter inteference.

[The tunnels have calmed since the fog receded, but there's always a risk out here.]

OPEN - The Molt;

[Unfortunately, not all is well despite Akechi's hard work this month. Typically, corvids molt in the summer, and he has shed feathers on occasion, but now? Now, he's itchy, he's patchy, and he's decided that won't do.

Which is why he's going around in a cloak, still carrying out his business. It may look a bit silly, with his round shape, but he can be found in all his usual haunts: perusing the Archives for research, training in the Spire, and perching in high places for the sake of perching.

It's a bird thing.]

Let's hope your reputation convinces everyone here first, before he tries to steer them against you.

[His own father, thankfully, is not the manipulative nor malicious type, but he does have the knowledge and charisma to win over hearts. Cedric shudders to think what he could do if he did have cruel intentions, which Akechi's father clearly does.

In the meantime, they have branches.]
Is this enough to take back now?
cedricthegreat: (One trick will show them all)

As you shouldn't.

[He leaves it at that as he gives a nod to the basket.]

I suppose with the both of us, this should be no problem to carry in the air?
