Catch and Release - Semi-Open

[bashfulshifter]

Characters: Anyone who's signed up for the Monster Souls plot. Parts one and two will have their own threads, for those involved in only one or the other.

Setting: Part one - August 3rd, nightfall, starting on floor ninety-nine and working down. Part two - August 4th (early morning) through the 8th, any floor(s). If you think your character might attack/kill Rick for his actions here, might be best to choose the later times to avoid continuity errors/time shenanigans/the like.

Format: Any!

Summary: See above plot link. Rick plans to help Kid Sephiroth with his bestiary by bonding with a monster so that he can shift into it and learn what it is (part one). Things Go Wrong (part two) and Rick begins actively seeking out characters who have close CR that are not presently in the Tower (such as loved ones left at home, or other characters that have disappeared from the Tower and are not currently around); he will engage them in uncomfortable conversation about these relationships and will go out of his way to combine them with the victim's worst fears (which he is also suddenly aware of). Awkward times all around!

Warnings: Violence/injury/character death possible in part one, and...probably the same for part two (combined with lots of angst).

Part One: Catch | Part Two: Release

Though there are a number without spines to be found here, I agree that the majority do have them. Most of them are also larger than cats. It should not be too difficult to find one that fits your requirements.

I recommend going down a few floors. The next few floors are not ideal for hunting. [He doesn't think dealing with ball pits or giant monsters would be good ideas.]

The hallway-like floor should be suitable, unless you have another suggestion.

[Rick breathes a private sigh of relief. Good, they understand what he means...hopefully that's enough information to get them through this.]

[Addressing Sephiroth, first and foremost: ] ...Th--That s-sounds g-good. [That was his first choice, and he's very glad that Sephiroth thought of it, too--that meant he wouldn't shoot down the idea when they got there. Which they were about to do, from the looks of things. Rick turns to the rest of the group, stopping just before the landing.]

...Is e-everyone...r-ready? [It's more of a suggestion rather than a call-to-arms; the rest of the group has had far more experience fighting monsters than Rick has, so if they had any ideas about how to best approach whatever situation they were about to find themselves in, he was happy to hear them.]

I am.
