Who: a draconic thief and you!
When: i'm flexible with the days as long as it's after the full moon! diy!
Where: a dragon's underground den.
What: an open log for those signing up for the city-wide wanted quest!
Warnings: will add as they come! a note that eren will not attack anyone unless they steal from him— which, if you want to go that route, by all means hmu for plot!

[ past the constraints of the bright wall and just before the wilde creeps into fresh plains, slums and farmlands with its frosty winter nip, lays a hole; a hole that seems too large to have been dug by a rabbit and can easily fit man or monster. if one has followed the incredible amount of scattered shedding (black scales with a scarlet-plum sheen, perhaps orange or gold depending on how light bounces from it), it leads them further down. many elders are sure to give tips if you ask: flattery will help you if you talk of liberty, bring something else that's sharp, that'll do it, i would bribe him with one of those fair-folk, haha, and perhaps oh, send him my cookies. whether either of those work or not, it needs to be tested!

the tunnels are identical to those made by miners, twisting and turning into different, multiple paths, some leading into scorched dead ends while others may only seem to take you lower . . . and lower, into more intricate corkscrew bends. some spots aren't all that dark, lit by runes carefully carved and enchanted to glow a deep orange, but those with less of a knack for seeing in dark places might do well with an extra source of light, no harm done. if successfully navigated, intruders will find an opening that spans into a large, large den, one expected to be the interior of a mountainside. the cavern is impressive in size and sculpted entirely by claw, molded by spine and reinforced with dragon flame. the ceilings are high and the floors— that might be a problem.

the floors harbor an ocean of sharp objects that create mountains, piling up to nearly half the wall of the entire dome— heaps of any kind of knife, long blade, spear, needle, gardening and construction tools, broken glass, ceramic and . . . that's a piece of paper, yes. anything that has a fine, dangerous cutting or stabbing point is hoarded here, the product of a monster's growth of over a year (and counting). the dragon, though, the dragon may not be instantly seen unless one looks so very hard for two pairs of glistening, crystal-blue horns protruding out of the mass— or, perhaps, you'll want to play it safe and look for the obsidian knives in a literal haystack of knives. ]

[Elliot meanwhile got to work on the barriers, not having much trouble to set them up. After that, he spent the next hour just working on his music. Luckily, it was pretty peaceful the whole time. He doesn't even notice how much time has passed when Eren comes back.

He does notice the smell...and the fruit]


Oh, welcome back! -- Is that fruit?

[He won't fault Eren for checking to make sure. He knows how precious this hoard is to the dragon, and it's not like Elliot held much pride in being the protector of sharp objects.

Instead he's shuffling over to grab some fruit for himself. It's been a pretty busy day and he's hungry.]


Hehe, it was no problem. I take it everything got worked out?

[He'll grab a strawberry, taking a bite out of it]

Ah, this hits the spot...!

Oh good! And no more people coming after you?

[Since that's what really mattered. Elliot wasn't too fussed about the details beyond that]

Hehe, thank you Eren. I do love fruit.

Ha, that's a relief.

[Elliot smiles, showing his relief. All in all, this went way better than he was expecting. Then again, with his anxiety, he tends to expect everything ends in doomsday.

He does perk up when he asks that]


Oh? You mean with guitar or something else...?

[Yaaaas it was the guitar. Elliot is more than happy to listen, taking notes of the improvement. He'll give him notes at the end, ways to improve, but he's got a fond smile on his face the whole time he listens]
