[closed] but you gotta put in

Who: Rin, Vietnam, Archer, Masamune, and Niles
When: August, from past the 4th onward!
Where: Petrosian and various locations in Gammon!
What: Jobs, jobs, jobs. This log may be updated with threads/prompts for later jobs offered in August, too!
Rating: Nothing too terrible, some mentions of crimes, etc.!


Dye Hard (from August 5th on, Petrosian/closed to Archer)

[this trip was part test, part business, part... moneymaking. hey, no one said a girl couldn't stop by petrosian again so soon, if only to check up on the designs for a full-back mana tattoo. she's kept that pursuit a secret from archer, and rin now sits at a chair inside the rare river café they've boarded in anticipation of an attack by the bandits.]

It's too quiet. Aside from that, I don't really know what lures them out.

[speaking disinterestedly, she taps long fingernails on the table before her as she lowers her cup of tea.

at that moment, the boat rocks.]


Fighting Evil By Moonlight (from August 8th on, Gammon/closed to Vietnam)

[rin was shaken up after her little run-in with gilgamesh at the ball, but she doesn't display that same hesitation tonight.

she and vietnam are escorting a small group of saleswomen from the market to their homes. many of them appear not so much older than rin herself, and that's partially why they're with them in the first place; it's hard to convince several of the more skeptical (or burly!) gammonians that a pair of young women are going to cut down any bloodthirsty murderers in their path.

in fact, the would-be criminals must believe they blend in well enough, because some sneaky-looking fellow in a trenchcoat sidles up right next to vietnam, before long.]


Hey, hey! Stop for just a moment, eh?

Hate to be the Boarer of Bad News, But... (from August 23rd on, Gammon/closed to Masamune)

[okay, so rin isn't bothered by most of this. the flying pig is just a little weird, though. slightly. carefully bringing up a finger, she pokes it as the poor thing oinks in despair for about the fourth time.]

Hhhh— [whiny complaining:] This thing is so strange.

[proceeding to dig a hand into the mailbag, she thumbs through the letters and hands the one for the next house to her macho, masculine companion.]

Well, at least this job should be easy. [rin rolls her eyes. how compassionate.] What a bunch of losers. They couldn't even make it into their magecraft academy. They're disgraces.

Star Wands Episode I: The Phantom Mineace (from August 23rd on, Gammon/closed to Niles)

[friedgood, friedgood. what a wonderful place. rin is camped out on the ground, pouring over a map of the surrounding local mines. in a... skirt, but hopefully no passersby are being flashed as she figures out where the hell they're going.

who knows how she even got roped into this with niles, by the way.]


What do you think? Shouldn't we just buy the stuff from the shops, or something? If we mine, I might get too dirty. That'd be fine, but what if it's not worth the trouble?

[she's not wearing pants, so don't even ask]
wardance: can I interest you in a sarcastic comment? (♯i'm not so good with the advice...)

[personal profile] wardance 2016-09-02 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Masamune's expression flatlines somewhat as the little pig squeals at being poked yet again. Yeah, it's a little weird, all right. Do all people poke and prod things they find strange like this?

Maybe it's the flying pig for Rin, but for him? This magic school business is just as strange, and he questions aloud after her comment with even intending to strike up conversation over it.
]

Is it supposed to be that easy? Why do they need these delivered right away, anyway? I don't get why it can't wait a few extra days.

[ What is the big deal?? Masamune wants to know both regarding the need for the letters to be delivered with such haste (disappointment is forever, who cares if it's in two hours or two days they start with it??) as well as why these people maybe shouldn't even be surprised of this result if Rin's mention of losers is any indication (if it's really easy then you must be really a huge failure and how can you not notice that of yourself. Right??) ]
wardance: would have to put a jello shot recipe into an excel spreadsheet (♯never in a million years thought I)

[personal profile] wardance 2016-09-03 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ well, those are Rin's favorite types of men so she would know best...

And, wow, rude, much? Who is wondering who is dumb?? He is a Japanese historical figure and she is a Japanese Magnus judging him over going to school??!
]

I guess. [ Masamune sighs, seemingly unconvinced but not particularly vehement in any counter stance to her claim to rebuff it. He folds his arms across his chest, though, in response to the hand-on-hip stance of Rin's before his attention is drawn away from her and to the two pig-fairy-things as the one given to him flutters past him and smacks him in the side of the head with its tiny mail satchel. ]

Being notified about anything by a flying pig seems pretty insulting and suck-indicating enough on its own to me, regardless of its timing. [ His little winged-pig notices both of them have halted-- belatedly --and decides it will return back to Masamune's personal space. That means flying back past him and knocking him in the head with the satchel again before settling happily on his head in his feathery fluffy hair.

Exhaling heavily through his nose, the young Date lord grumbles to the intrusive letter-carrier.
]

Man... you may be lucky we don't eat pigs where I come from but I hear pig is well liked around here so you better quit it, already...

[ Pig does not seem to care. It is busy in its new travel nest. ]
wardance: thanks you. (♯everyone in the world like me)

[personal profile] wardance 2016-09-06 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Masamune is seriously starting to wonder if he is walking around with a "Harassment: I want it, I need it please" sign that everyone but himself can see, but he's also started to accept the fact that this is just how his life is meant to be in this place.

If you can't stop
it go along with it.

(...Or Something like that, anyway, he tells himself.)

Which is why the most Rin gets out of him is a bit of a mouth twitch at the edges his forced grin as his cheeks tint a dark pink at her sabotage. Masamune is not helpless, though. So, you know what? He's not going to just stand here and take this from a girl!! He...

...He's going to retaliate by messing with her hair, too, of course. Obviously??

He even laughs himself, a lighter and more childish nature to it, as he tosses out a response.
]

It has great taste in quality, you mean. It's living high-hog.

[ In some sense, Masamune does believe this. Since he's coming to accept animals like his hair (Corrin's carrier likes to try and eat it—thinks it's candy??) he's just assuming that his hair is a high quality delicacy for all animals in this world to keep him form having a breakdown over the situation. In his defense, his hair is as feathery and soft as it looks, so he's at least got something going there in terms of any real argument in favor of that point of view. ]
wardance: (♯i was already surprised out loud!)

[ omfg cheating with distractions??? ]

herk!

[ He wasn't expecting getting hit in the stomach (but at least she didn't go for his groin!?) and ends up also immediately stopping ruining her hair style as he doubles overs and clutches at his stomach. ]

—ANd-D T-ha-t's assa—!?
Ow, oi!!

[ The little pig in his hair goes flying, and squeals, grabbing onto a decent amount of hair via its mouth to save itself from being ejected to the ground. Flapping its wings furiously and flailing its piglet legs, it really... Is still useless weight and just adding to Masamune's pain to the point he has to reach out with one hand to grab the pig so it'll let go of his hair and chill out, sacrificing his tighter hold on his stomach.

That was definitely assault!!? And this pig is an accomplice and just tried to break his neck in the process. Masamune glares at the pig, who is now perfectly fine being held and wonders what could possibly be wrong with its partner for this job.

Ah, God, women and animals are death combos. Matsu was proof of that enough he didn't need any new examples past Maeda's wife...

[ Yet-- for some unknown reason (that may be simple instinctual male "lack of self-preservation (with women)" despite all this, Masamune doesn't seem willing to accept defeat and instead just coughs, gritting through his teeth as he swings his glare over to her (now that he is at a slightly safer distance, taking cue from her oinklet).

He laughs... barely.
]

...Ha! Ha... ... Lucky shot... [She didn't catch him off guard—no she totally did and it hurt like a bitch!! OW ????

Don't mind that he looks absolutely ready to maintain distance if she tries to come at him for his rebuff. He's not afraid of you... Rin...!!
]
wardance: AREN'T DEAD (♯PLEASE AT LEAST MEOW SO I KNOW YOU)

[ People assuming that her being small and weaker than they are is why there are things such as untimely deaths that occur in the world.

Okay, so maybe he is exaggerating with that but he knows she doesn't need to be strong to get him on the grounds of she picks her target point wisely. Considering all his various encounters that have happened so far, Masamune at least knows better than to presumptive of anyone and the extent of their actions when it gets them something they want or in a favorable position.

Rin is cute and attractive but so are kunoichi... (well they are attractive, anyway)

This provoking behaviour of hers, though...!
]

Heh!? Are you really taunting me about this—why, for a reaction!?

[Unbelievable! ]

Once you get punched in the stomach by a small child without expecting it, come back to me and say that all again with a straight face.

It's cool. I don't need that sort of effort from you, just a safe distance.
wardance: and i'm pawning your shit. (♯no you're getting a Viking funeral)

[personal profile] wardance 2016-09-25 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He looks at the child, not even really thinking before he responds because wow kid what kind of manners to suggest that sort of thing--!!. ]

Not after my miscarriage from this, it's time for a dog. Don't get married, kid.

[ where do these statements of his even come from ... ]
wardance: (♯it's got fake egg crap.)

[ For a moment there, it might be hard for any witnesses to tell if the sound in response to Rin is made by Masamune or one of the piglets. The samurai ducks out of the way very quickly to avoid being jumped along with an additional greeting of fists first.

He offers the magus great condolences with a smile, though. From behind her now that he has gotten out of her immediate path of violence.
]

Well, I'm happy to inform you, then, that I've been absolutely clean in my activities while here, so it's kind of the same thing, right!? I'm a real merciful guy, you just don't give me enough credit for these things.

[ As usual, it is a wonder if he even grasped the true insult delivered. he's proud of himself, okay!? He's very much found he likes mana exchange, which can get very tricky in innocence-standing depending on who it is with.

... At least the piglets are trying to still do their jobs, what with trying to dig through letters in their carrier pouches to find the appropriate mail to be delivered, unlike the two heroes. The child is just staring.
