Entry tags:
Ren's April Shenanigans [Catch-All]
Who: Ren, his quest buddies... and you?!
What: Quests and logs
When: April
Where: All around Bottlecap Bay
Warnings: Bugs (other things will be tagged as they come up!)
1. Infestigation(closed to Catrina)
Out of all the things Ren expected to do here, purposely getting himself infested with tiny little bugs was definitely not one of them. Still, he can't deny his own curiousity now, and while he doesn't know her that well, Catrina, seemed so enthusiastic about the whole ordeal that he couldn't not include her.
... A little too enthusiastic maybe. Oh well, who is he to judge? Still, they should find someone who actually knows Infestation first...
"Do you think Vivillon will want to help us out? I think she knows the move we're looking for," he asks Catrina as they walk away from Kinger, quest details in hand.
2. Falling Rocks(closed to Simon)
It's a wonderful early spring day, and Ren's Sprigatito nature compells him to enjoy it to the fullest... not that he wouldn't otherwise, ordinarily, but there's something else about feeling the wind tousle his fur, and smelling the pollen in the air. He doesn't have a mission today, so he ends up going for a walk.
It's all very nice, and his feet carry him to the beach, the gentle sunlight doing wonders for his chronic pain. He happily basks in it- until suddenly a shadow covers him, taking with it the warmth of the sun. When it doesn't go away, he lets out a confused noise.
"Mm?"
... and looks up just in time to watch a rock plummet towards him, too fast for him to dodge. He barely gets out a startled yelp, before-
BONK!
3. Light Quests(open to the people joining him on a light quest)
Are your character and Ren doing a light quest? Take this as your sign to play it out! (if you want!)
4. Wildcard(Open)
Wanna tag with Ren, but got something else in mind than the above? Drop a tag, or plot it out with me in Ren's OOC Inbox/discord (cha0136)!

[Honestly, one would have expected them to have noted a birthday at some point.
...Hey wait a minute Emporio-
Manifesting a 'bone' from the ground with an almost casual wave, Emporio gestures toward a particularly promising 'vein' in the rocks.] ...That one looks like it has something mixed in it...Maybe it'll be good ore?
no subject
That aside, his eyes follow Emporio's bone.]
Oooh, good find, [Ren goes over to the spot that was pointed out, finding that, indeed, it looks like there may be something in there. Despite being an Oran Berry, he has to admit he hasn't figured out how to spot the promising veins- it's one of the things he really misses his third eye ability for.
Doesn't mean he can't help dig them out once they're pointed out to him, though.]
Alright then, [he unsheathes his claws,] let's get to digging.
[A few weaker attacks should definitely unearth some of it!]
no subject
Bone at the ready, Emporio just nods...and, not even realizing that Ren didn't spot it that easily, gestures to the veining in question.] It's really subtle, but you can see the different color striations moving along the sides right here...so, I think as long as we strike here it'll work..!
[Time to start whacking a rock with a bone- it won't be bonemerang or bonerush or anything, but it should do the trick!]
no subject
[With that, he unleashes a few weak Scratch attacks alongside Emporio's whacks with his bone. It's slow progress, but little by little, some decent looking iron ore becomes more and more visible. Once he can, Ren reaches down with his claws to try and pull it loose, and with a bit of effort...]
There!
[A chunk of iron comes out, landing in front of them. Ren grins proudly at Emporio- they did it!]
This looks pretty good quality, if you ask me.
[What's more, it seems that that chunk isn't the end of it- there's more hidden below. A good few thwacks with Emporio's bone will probably help get those loose, too.]
no subject
[It's a bit like going to town with a pickaxe...or in Ren's case, a lot of smaller pickaxes. But the chunks of clear metal ore are coming out, and with a pause to inspect it, Emporio nods.]
I sure hope so, [He agrees.] I can tell it's not the same as the rest of the rock, but I don't know how good it'll be...
[But there does seem to be more where that came from, so he gives a few good thwacks to loosen the load.] I think if you dig around this bit, it'll come free.
no subject
On it.
[And he digs in with all his might, Scratch-ing at the rock to remove some smaller bits. He feels a little bit like a dog, with the way he's digging, but soon enough, the rest of the cache starts feeling loose, and with a few pulls-]
There we go. [Smaller chunks of iron ore get pulled up by his claws, adding to what they've already gathered.] I think that's most, if not all of it.
[He shakes out his paws, covered in dirt as they are, and suppresses the urge to lick them clean. He'll get a chance to bathe, later.
It's not a bad haul at all, for what it's worth. Still, they could probably try to get a bit more...]
What do you think? You good to continue?
no subject
[Cubone helmet set down, he'll start setting as much there as possible in the 'bag'. He gives it a careful eye, and then an experimental lift-] Hmmm...
[And ultimately nods.] Yeah. I think we can try for another vein! This isn't too heavy yet, and there's definitely room.
no subject
[They set out deeper into the cave, and Ren keeps an eye out for things in the wall. He may not be as good as Emporio at it, but... did something sparkle over there? He tilts his head towards the wall where he saw it.]
You think that one over there's worth investigating?
no subject
[Off they go then. A little deeper into the cave, eyes peeled. Emporio hasn't spotted anything yet...but when he looks to where Ren is pointing his head, he squints.]
It might be..? ...Lets go look!
