[OPEN] Far from Skid Row, I dream we'll go
Who: Robin Hood, and anyone unfortunate enough to be in his general vicinity
When: Nebulously between the arrival in Cochrane and now
Where: Gammon
What: Robin Hood is an idiot and a scoundrel, do not associate with him.
Rating: Probably not.
[Arriving in a whole new city is really exciting! For about 0.04 seconds, and then it's time to just immediately fuck off and go roughing it in the country. He's spent an entire month getting to know Caissa, and he'll probably go through a similar canvassing process for Cochrane, but...maybe later. For now, Robin can be found in the following places:]
i. hello from the other side (inn).
[If he's even here at all, it's probably either to sleep or to immediately leave as soon as he wakes up. He's only just gotten used to Caissa, so being shuffled off to another huge city is pretty irritating. And that's not even taking into account that he's expected to fight in some war - that part doesn't bother him as much as it might other people, but if he's going to have to do something unpleasant he might as well enjoy himself until then.
And that means not sticking around any longer than he has to, so he can probably be found doing things like sliding down banisters or jumping halfway down a set of stairs so he can spend 2 fewer seconds indoors on his way out. Watch out, guys.]
ii. tourist trap.
[The countryside of Gammon is supposed to be beautiful, and that's where Robin is spending the majority of his time. Maybe other people are, too! And maybe they're observant enough to notice the pitfall trap a few steps ahead of them, but if they aren't, they're gonna have a bad time.
It's not very deep, and it should be pretty easy to climb out of, unless someone particularly short falls in. It's an annoyance at worst, but what might be more annoying than the trap itself is Robin laughing at anyone unfortunate enough to fall for it from his perch in a nearby tree.
Should someone avoid the trap, it wouldn't be unnatural to look around for who set it up, and while Robin is mostly wearing green, that red hair of his sure stands out when someone is looking for it. For his part, he'll just give anyone who doesn't fall in the most disappointed look.]
iii. mission fae-led.
[When Robin isn't being a jackass to people he might not even know, he's...actually, he's always being a jackass to people he might not even know. And that's not even strictly limited to other people. Raised as a druid, he's always been particularly sensitive to fairies, and seeing as people shunned him for this ability, he tends to prefer the company of fairies to that of his fellow human beings.
The fairies in Blanc are...not exactly the same as the ones he's acquainted with, but similar enough to be comfortable with them. The fairies in Gammon are...to put it bluntly, less willing to put up with his bullshit than any of the other kinds he's met. That's why he's got one climbing up his back, and another one chasing his Carrier around. He looks like a babysitter who got stuck with two overbearing children.
Incidentally, the Carrier, for such a small bird, seems to be putting up a pretty good fight. It's a plucky little thing.]
iv. wildcard.
[hmu if you want to do something else instead!]

[Aww, a dog. Robin gives him a few pats on the head while his owner seethes. When the dog starts backing up, though, he glances down into the pit again.
He's not sure what the heat shimmer is, but it doesn't look like it can be anything good, so he takes a few steps backward himself.]
no subject
I'm just fine. And fuck you!
[And that was just what erupted from the pit, albeit short lived.
Kaede was cranky.]
no subject
Still, he can't say he doesn't deserve it - well, maybe he doesn't deserve to die a fiery death, but he does deserve the "fuck you".]
Yeah, I can see that. That's an explosive temper you've got, there.
[Is now really the time for jokes.]
no subject
Thanks for noticing.
[Kaede was getting up now all on her own! And...finding she was too short to get out of the pit just by jumping. The ground was too soft and crumbly at the top and sides to be much use.
Charging her vectors again would take time, since she kind of impulsively threw the spell off early.
The dog had plopped himself down to sit and wait, still wagging his tail.]
no subject
You know, I can help you out of there. I've got some rope...
no subject
Aren't you the one who put this here?
no subject
[No sense in lying about it now.]
But if I wanted to do anything more than drop you into a hole, I'd have made sure there were some nasty surprises waiting at the bottom.
no subject
[Not that Kaede needed an excuse for casual death threats either.
The spell was ready now, but Kaede waited just a bit more to see what he was up to. He couldn't possibly want to help her. Who does that??]
no subject
[That said, he tosses one end of the rope down, wrapping the other end around his forearm for extra stability.]
You can use that to climb up.
no subject
I'd come back just to spite you.
[She regards the rope with further suspicion, warily and experimentally tugging at it. It seemed secure. But she was still suspicious.
The diclonius manifests her vectors with a whoosh of igniting fire, gripping the sides of the pit with quiet flames even as she grabbed onto the rope with her physical ones. If he was going to drop her, she wouldn't fall.
But Kaede started climbing, regardless.]
no subject
[He doesn't think for a second of dropping her, though it's mostly because she's seriously creeping him out. She established herself as someone to only very minimally mess with in the span of several seconds.]
