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.]

sorry for the delay!
Hm? Type change? I've only heard of the move 'Forest's Curse' giving Pokemon a grass typing. But then again, it wouldn't be too bizarre to think of other moves that give or take away Pokemon types.
...Well, even if we don't go to the clinic, we should head back. We're done here and you need rest. And you too, Akechi. Even with your resistances, you took a fuckload of Seed Bombs. [Not to mention Anasui himself is aching from the Shadow Ball...]
no subject
[ She hates commenting on the obvious but she can figure out what's happened here now by that explanation, which just adds to her irritation about it. Ghost types are strong against other ghost types and psychic was already vulnerable. That's annoying.
Experience is the teacher... ]
Fine... I'll take a ride if you don't mind.
[ Even if she's 'floating' it's not going to make her able to move faster out of there. She needs to figure out what else has changed. ]
no subject
[Still, Anasui's offer gives him pause. On one hand, Akechi doesn't like to be reliant on others. He could Roost and fly the rest of the way back. On the other hand, he is trying to set a good example for Ren...
So, after a moment, he heaves a hefty sigh.]
I suppose I'll take you up on your offer as well. You have my thanks.
[Thus, he flutters up onto Anasui's back. At least he's small and light.]
no subject
Once Akechi has landed, he cracks his neck and gets ready to run.][And as soon as the others give confirmation, he'll be off.]
