[ CLOSED ] sailing on a ship in a bottle
Who: Red & Zagreus
When: July
Where: Solvunn, Tertiary Settlement
What: July Quest: fishing amongst Leviathans
Warnings: n/a
It's Red's first trip to another one of the settlements in the Solvunn Commune, and he can't say he isn't curious. These tales of sea monsters intrigue him, and if he can lend a helping hand to repay the community, he's more than willing. Some of them may have chosen to pull people from their homes and bring them here, but any lingering grudge Red might have against those leaders, he's well aware the vast majority of folk are just trying to live their lives. He can't begrudge them that.
Luckily for him, he learns that Zagreus intends to venture out into the waters as well, and happily attaches himself to a familiar face. During the trip out on the boat, he asks Zagreus if he's ever been out this way before, if he's visited the Secondary Settlement and what the differences are, and generally bombards him with questions about his experiences so far in Solvunn for as long as Zagreus is willing to withstand them.
By the time they glimpse a giant fin cutting through the water up ahead, it may or may not be a relief to change the subject.
"Hold up." Red points out toward the unnatural shadow rippling under the water.
"Is that one of 'em?"

He draws his sword, one hand still on the tiller, and watches the leviathan struggle in the shadows.
"Y'know, I'd love to. Mightily missing my rifle right about now. But that magic rock you've got seems to be doing the trick. I'm afraid I'll have to get much closer to do any damage with a blade."
no subject
Because while the Bloodstones did deliver some damage, without a boon it wasn't anything particularly impressive. And he'd have to wait for the Bloodstones to emerge before he could throw them again. They were going to need to rely on their blades.
By this point, the Leviathan had begun to thrash violently, trying to dislodge itself for the rocks. If they waited too long, it might manage it and escape back to the sea. Luckily, Zagreus didn't plan to wait.
He Dshes forward, phasing forward in successive streaks of red light to get right up and personal with the Leviathan's tail. His sword flashes, dealing two quick strikes to the beast - before he needs to Dash quickly to dodge a swipe from its tail.
no subject
"Oh, fuck me," he mutters to himself when Zagreus zooms forward in that strange way of his, moving in right on top of the beast. Red feels guilty leaving him on his own, but honestly doesn't know how best to help.
Getting the boat stuck on the rocks won't be much use to them in the longer term but getting close to the monster is the only way he can actually reach without a gun. If Zagreus even needs help.
"How can I help?!" he shouts over the monster's screech when the blade finds its flesh. It's amazing Zagreus is able to fight so well in the water-- though everything he's doing right now is pretty amazing. Red is definitely feeling a lack of being useful right now.
