[Event] Pumpkiller

[npcsofmana]

Who: A very big and magical Jack-O-Lantern and you
What: A giant pumpkin is trying to take over Domina... or something like that.
Where: West Domina, past the residential area
When: Day 33
Other: Likely some violence. Check the post for more info and ask any questions here.




At least, that's what the usual mail pelican is frantically squawking about on the front steps of home with her feathers going everywhere as she flaps her wings.

And.... there are some very disconcerting dark clouds gathering around Domina that haven't yet started intruding on the sky around Home. Perhaps this merits some checking out.

To those that venture forth, they'll notice that Domina is eerily quiet as they step into it from the road. Both Domina's tavern and inn seem empty, which is a strange thing in itself. Anyone who's visited the town regularly will have noticed that those two places, for good reason, are often the most lively places in town.

Just where has everyone gone....?

[Things Tsukishima was expecting when he came over to check out the giant pumpkin no one seems worried about: a weird giant pumpkin.]

[Things he wasn't expecting to see: a furry getting his ass kicked.]

[With a potoo hopping after him, he goes to stand over Avelwyn and quirks up an eyebrow.]

I take it you didn't think that through.

[The pumpkins? They didn't care that they had knocked a furchild on his butt, or that someone else was trying to check on said furchild to see they were okay.

They kept coming.

Luckily, someone is still paying attention. In rapid succession, three arrows skewer the much-smaller pumpkin menaces. Sara, the perpetrator of said archery, slings her bow back over her shoulder, brows furrowed.]

These don't look like ogre pumpkins...I wonder if they're edible?

[She straightens a little, and waves two the two boys, a cheery smile on her face.]

You two all right??

[The mushroom sidles aside as Tsukishima walks up to give him room, watching him and the Potoo curiously. Avelwyn takes a moment to shift, horns just long enough to awkwardly prop his head up a little.]

...Not really.

[He's not fast enough to scrabble to his feet at the rest of them oncoming, which makes the arrows a welcome interruption; his spear's a few feet away and he hasn't quite spotted it yet in all the other distractions.]

- I think yes? [One of his ears flicks down sheepishly.] Sorry about that.

We’re fine! Can you watch our back for a minute?

[His voice adds to the confirmation before he leans down offering a hand to Avelwyn.]

Come on. I’ll check if you’re alright.

[He needs to practice what meager first aid Sam has taught him after all.]

[sweetnessandfight]

I have you. [Sarangerel nods in conformation, taking up a defensive stance with her bow before the two young men. It doesn't matter that Avelwyn is fuzzy, really.

The pumpkins, for their part, have not quite regrouped yet, and the big one is far enough away that all she needs to do is, quite literally, watch their backs. Though really, she's keeping an eye on the pumpkins.]

Let me know if you need any bandages, I carry a few with me just in case...
