May Quest Catchall: Angry Bird Edition
Who: Akechi and those he's questing with.
What: TRAINING MONTAGE... through questing!
When: Throughout May
Where: All over the place!
Warnings: Implications of Pokémon predation, plus a very prickly bird.
DRAK-LOST (Locked to Ren, Firepaw, and Courier Six)
[The sea is an ominous and dangerous place, but one Akechi, Ren, and Courier Six have explored before. Firepaw, on the other hand, has a type disadvantage. It's risky to bring him here, but with Courier Six's size and buoyancy, perhaps it won't be too big of an issue.
As everyone gathers by the shore, Akechi appears... restless, to say the least. After the failure in the Northern Forest, they have to get this right.
The fact that it's Purrloin's quest adds a bit more of a personal connection, adding to the stakes.
Adjusting his weight and the angle of his tail feathers, Akechi gazes sternly at his teammates.]
I believe it would for the best if Firepaw-kun rode on Courier Six-san. However, I will be soaring above, in case anyone requires a brief respite from swimming.
[He can't carry Courier Six, of course, but that goes without saying. The cats shouldn't be an issue, at least.]
Wooden it Be Nice (Locked to Ren, Junpei, and Anasui)
[One might wonder how a small bird like Akechi intends to chop wood. He's little, round, and is more suited to picking things up than slicing and chopping...
But he can spin, and he can Drill Peck.
Regardless of his small stature, he regards his teammates with a stern disposition, puffing out his chest and holding his head high.]
Junpei-san and Anasui-san should be strong enough to handle larger pieces. With my abilities, I should be able to break off branches and organize the lumber into piles. Ren... also has claws, which should aid us in our efforts.
[So they just need to stay focused, stay organized, and prove their mettle! Surely it won't cause any issues along the way.]
Scattered Bug (Locked to Ren, Shoka, and Laios)
[The Northern Forest... Akechi refuses to fail this time. As they make their way toward the destination, he's noticeably tense, eyes narrowed more than usual.]
It shouldn't be too far, but we need to remain cautious.
[There's a reason he procured a face mask for the occasion. Not that it helped before, with the sudden onset of unwanted Effect Spore...]
If you see Foongus or Amoonguss, engage carefully or not at all. They will not hesitate to douse you with spores that may very well poison you.
[Ren being an exception. So long as he remains a grass type, he'll be safe from the effects...
But hopefully it won't come to that.]

So, instead, he grins up to Courier Six, nodding in agreement.]
No kidding. I've seen seas before, and they're still impressive to me!
[Though, perhaps not in the same way as for Courier Six.]
Well... we better get going. [He plods forwards through the surf-- the water's cold, and agitates his aching joints, but he'll endure, for now. Worst comes to worst, he'll hitch a ride on Courier Six.] The longer we wait, the harder it'll get to find Drakloak, probably, so we should hurry.

[And so, once everyone is ready, Akechi takes to the air. He'll keep close watch on his teammates, of course, and for any potential threats along the way.
At first, the ocean seems perfectly ordinary, but once they're far enough from the shore, an ominous fog starts to set in.
Curious, given the clear view from the shore.]
...This isn't right.
no subject
The sky was bright and sunny when they left, but now that the fog is rolling in he can smell that it's going to keep getting worse. It only makes the ocean smell stronger, and harder to parse through as he sniffs for Drakloak.]
Is fog supposed to move this quickly?
