Warnings/Notes: Will contain one closed eventual NSFW thread!

A. Medic! aka Will watches the wildlife

Will had spent most of the time he'd been here so far with a medic's mindset. He'd taken a look at the hospital and while it seemed like it had everything that could help someone out, he was still uneasy about trusting technology. Besides, going out and about trying to find medical supplies gave him something to do. He'd been grateful for the company of his daemon, asking it various questions like if it knew what any of the plants he found were while he was out exploring the surrounding area. Today he was out again looking for plants that he might be able to use for medical purposes, picking berries and such for food, or looking for dinner. He always walked around with his bow and a quiver of arrows strapped to his back, not stupid enough to risk walking around in an unknown forest without some protection. He had a dagger on him too but he mostly used that for cutting up plants.

On this particular outing, he'd come across a herd of pegasi and right now he was just hanging back while watching them with a big smile of fascination on his face. A part of him really wanted to walk up to one and pet it but he wasn't sure if these were like the ones at camp and wouldn't mind being touched. He definitely didn't want to spook them, so while he stayed in sight of them, he didn't venture any closer.

B. Archery! aka the wildlife chases Will back

Good thing he brought his bow and arrows with him, because here came Will running through a clearing as fast as he could with a rock troll on his tail, an unmistakable look of 'oh shit' on his face. He had his bow in one hand and an arrow in the other in case the rock troll got a little too close for comfort and he needed to use it again. Slipping into the trees, he pressed himself up against a trunk as flat as he could, nocking an arrow and trying to get his breathing back to normal as his chest heaved in exertion from running. Help a guy out who doesn't want to become an afternoon snack?

C. Music! aka Will jams on his guitar

Will had found a spot that was pretty close to the city and not too far into the forest to sit and play his guitar. He didn't want to bother anyone with the noise, hence why he picked a spot away from the city. A little mossy lump he'd spotted looked like a perfect sitting spot, so Will sat himself down on it and started to play. He didn't even get halfway through the song though before the lump he was sitting on started to move. It was slow enough he didn't really notice at first, but once he did, he looked down in confusion to see a tortoise's head sticking out of the lump. Laughing, Will stood up and watched the moss tortoise start to lumber off. "Sorry, big guy. Or girl," he apologized with an amused grin. "Didn't see you there." When the tortoise continued making its way somewhere else, Will called after it jokingly, "Oh come on, it wasn't that bad, was it?"

D. Trouble! As in Will gets into it! (Closed to Nico and eventually NSFW. It's under D for a reason, okay. ~~The D is for di Angelo! No, it's not. Wait, no - yes, yes, it is.~~)

[ when he gets the message, nico is puttering around their place, getting things together for the party he's planning for will. he looks it over and can't help but grin a little at being referred to as "babe" before the grin disappears in exchange for a frown. what has his boyfriend gotten into now? whatever the case, he quickly pockets his device and closes his eyes, focusing on where he senses will's life force ( something so familiar to him now that he picks it up immediately ) before stepping into a shadow.

when he reappears, it's in the forest and right in front of his boyfriend. but to his surprise, will is literally hanging out, vines wrapped around his body. ]

What in Ha- How'd you get stuck up there?!

[ without delay, he draws his sword and begins hacking at the vines. ]

This is exactly why you should always bring me with you.

It's a simple enough matter for Era to put away her hatchet and pull out her sword and shield, near instantly changing her out of her botanist's clothes and into her much more battle-appropriate paladin gear instead. Her Carbuncle (daemon, she has to remind herself) murmurs 'Rock Troll. Similar to a Goobue. Tougher hide' into her ear from its perch across her shoulders before it leaps off to throw a powerful blast of air at the creature.

Era hadn't exactly expected Emeraldd to fight alongside her - not without her summoner's grimoire equipped - but her Carbuncle flowed with her as it always had back in Eorzea. She feels relief curl in her heart, having worried that this new, unruly summon would no longer be the same. It cannot augment her Paladin skills (and it's so strange to be using gladiator skills with a Carbuncle still summoned) and so sticks to slashing air at the troll's thick skin and keeping it distracted until Era can rush up to slash out with her sword.

She blocks a powerful blow with her shield, feeling the energy behind it rush through the metal and down into her bones. Not the worst she's dealt with. Not as strong as Titan, but still much stronger than a Goobue's blows. It's enough to make her reconsider her choice of job for this fight. She has always been more adept at ranged, magical combat and if it isn't felled quickly Era's stamina will wane.

A quick spinning slash above the knees disrupts the creature's next blow. She had been aiming for the stomach.

Sometimes she wishes she were taller.
