(OPEN) WORK FOR THE WORKING MAN
Who: Minato Arisato & others!
When: Throughout March
Where: Around Blanc
What: Job quest post for the month of March
Rating: None
[ Reference for the Job Post is here. Also, if you're interested and haven't already, you can pick your character's arcana for Social Linking! ]
001-A. Meeting & Greeting
[ Minato wouldn't exactly say that he's good with kids, but he does have some experience with them. Of course, even considering the thought that it's appropriate to encourage a kindergartner to run away is probably not the best example to set, yet here he is anyway. Maiko, a former Social Link of his, isn't all children, and the orphanage has plenty that are excited about heroes coming over. He'd built a snowman for them once, he can do something else.
Besides, he'd gotten cookies out of that deal too. Worth it.
He looks like the life of the party, really. He's got a little girl on his back, and another kid trying to hang from his arm, but the whole five-foot-seven of him doesn't lead for a good height to dangle from. Surprisingly, throughout all of this, he's got a pretty straight face on. But.
This is a little much.
Help? ]
001-B. Now it's Story Time
[ So the kids want to know about the heroes' home worlds, do they? Truthfully, there are a lot of similarities when one looks at the very basics. You know, oxygen, land, water, etc. But those don't make for very good stories. He isn't really going to get any points (or colle, for that matter) by explaining the water cycle, is he? At least it would prove he paid attention to the lessons in second grade.
What can he say about Earth, though? Minato spares a glance at the hero beside him before turning his attention back to the children gathered around them. They're expecting a good story. ]
...Well...
[ A man of many words he is not. It's not that he doesn't have things to say, he just generally keeps to himself unless prompted otherwise. A dozen eager eyes looking at him expectantly certainly fit the bill. ]
[ Yeah, don't be an asshole, dude. They're just kids. ]
It's really not that different...I lived in a big city and had to go to school, too.
[ Except for the whole trying to stop the end of the world thing, but you know, details.
Hey Hero, maybe you have a better story? ]
002-A. Herbs with an H
[ Minato has done a lot of silly things to fulfill some equally silly quests posed to him by some otherworldly being that lived in a room only he had access too. If that doesn't sound odd enough to begin with, it really does get a lot stranger than that. But aside from keeping an eye on a persimmon tree at school--and, literally, it's about watching it--Minato has zero experience with plants, nor a green thumb.
So what constitutes an herb, let alone one in good condition? He agreed to the job because of the money, of course. Shirosabe, his carrier, is starting to garner an appetite about the same as him, which is a lot. And no one should be subjected to Monday meals. Ever. He's resigned to eat out on those days. The struggle is real.
Supposedly they're "all over", but how is he supposed to know what distinguishes an herb as an herb or just...a weed? ]
...Isn't an herb technically any type of plant?
[ Could they just grab a handful of grass? He's got a baggy and everything. ]
002-B. Desperate Thymes call for desperate measures
[ Going it straight-laced can only yield mediocre results. Sometimes there's a reason people go dark side. Sometimes, when push comes to shove, or when there are slim pickings in the public areas, heroes have to turn to a life of crime. Much like penguins.
Minato is one such penguin. Er, hero. And with so many others working on the same job, if he's going to get any money for this, he has to bend the rules a little. But who says he's going down by himself? Oh no, team effort is important. Right? Teammates. Not accomplices. Why would you think that.
Which is why they are found in someone's back yard in one of the nicer parts of time. Pretend it's a little bit like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich's gardens and giving them to...some guy who is going to pay them for it. Okay, it's nothing like Robin Hood, but this person has all their plants labeled and there are definitely some recognizable, herbish plants there. ]
..."Wolf's bane" right next to "oregano". That would be a weird sauce.
[ Is someone protecting against werewolves? ]

prepare for trouble and make it double
Probably. [ But sigh, okay, he probably won't convince Minato and he's already here. He might as well kneel next to Minato and help him look. ] What have you found so far?
sooj no
Picking herbs is really competitive...
[ He sounds so serious about it, too. Like he's seen defeat on the battlefield one too many times. ]
Oregano.
[ Minato, this is alchemy, you're not making dinner. ]
And Woflsbane.
[ Because it sounds cool. ]
to protect the world from devastation
Woflsbane? Haven't heard of that one before.
[ It does sound pretty cool, he has to admit. ]
If you found it near the oregano, maybe it's something similar.
sooj stahp
...For Mediterranean-style cooking?
[ Who is he to judge? But Minato, honestly, doesn't cook. He just eats the results of other people's hard work. ]
I guess that would count, right?
to unite all people within our nation
Maybe. We can try to sell it but if not, we could always use it to make some food. There's a kitchen in the Hall, right?
[ They're going to kill themselves... ]
(▰︶︹︺▰)
Wait. Is he offering to cook something?
Minato looks infinitely more interested than he has been throughout this entire excursion, despite the fact it was his idea in the first place. ]
...Yeah. There is.
to denounce the evils of truth and love
Then how about we use the leftovers for a dish? I know a few recipes for oregano but not for Wolfsbane. We can taste and test a bit of it now to figure something out though.
┏༼ ◉ ╭╮ ◉༽┓
Oh yes. He's definitely interested. ]
...You can cook?
[ Why didn't you tell him that when they first met rather than tricked him into biting into a live, singing fish? ]
to extend our reach to the stars above
Yeah, a little. I don't know if you'd find it good or not though.
[ He's being modest. He's been cooking since he was a kid, since his parents often left him home alone, so he's great at it. He's no Shinjiro but all of his friends seem to be blown away by whatever he makes. ]
But if you don't mind and if you want, I'll cook something up for you.
this goes far beyond my knowledge of pokemon
But really, Souji, if you're not Fuuka then you're probably just fine. That's really where his standards are at the moment.
Other than his food being silent. That's now made it very high to the top of his list. ]
Yes.
[ He could say something more politely. Or he could be honest. He feels like he can be honest with Souji. ]
minato!!
[ Okay, Souji would like to think that he's a million times better than Fuuka (sorry gurl) and he's above Mystery Food X, okay. He kicked that awesome omelette for Nanako and she fucking loved it, so Minato better like it too. That direct and straightforward 'yes' is definitely good to hear. Souji can't help but laugh a bit at that. ]
All right, if we get out of this without a criminal record then I'll make you a dish.
[ That means you better be prepared to take a mortal blow to your record for him for that dish. ]
MARI-KUN CHUUUU
Nanako is the best judge of this, it's true. Minato would never be able to refute her expertise in the matter. Too bad she's not here to reassure him that it could be a bad idea to use some of these ingredients. ]
I don't think people go to jail for plant theft.
[ Which is totally admitting that he knows they're stealing. ]
souji!! (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)♥
But it'd still show up on our records, right?
[ And that's what he'd like to avoid. ]
minato ι(｀‸ ´)ノ
[ How are your agility stats, Souji? ]
