Another bite and the last one seems different than his first. Something about the color way. Fernando shrugs and continues to fish if only because there's an odd tranquility to the idle period of the sport.

A Wingull fledgling lands on Callista’s head with an announcing squawk. She shifts a little, reaching up with her friend hand to give its plumage a gentle pat. “Hello, new friend. Do you want a Magikarp too?” She asks, and the Wingull flutters its wings in approval. Awkwardly throwing in her line, she smiles and enjoys the early afternoon sun with her feathered pal.

When was the last time he was here?

Had it really been a few days ago? Or was he just misremembering things? Honestly he couldn’t remember.

With the damned popularity of this particular area, it was no wonder it was one of the most-visited attractions—lots of people trying to catch their chance with a Magikarp, and then well, who knew that there was a shiny lurking in the tank somewhere?

He thought he’d spotted it a few days ago the first time he came here. However, this time around was different—he was handed what equated to be the single flimsiest paper nets constructed!

“…is this thing even going to work to catch a Magikarp?” he inquires of the stall guard, who this time appears to be an over energetic boy. Getting a really enthusiastic nod and some excited babbling in response, he falls in line and waits his turn.

Eventually he makes it to the front of the tank and then drops the flimsy-as-fuck net in, mentally screaming at the stupidity of everything.

He uttered a faintly disgusted noise, tossing the plain Magikarp back into the pond with a resentment that was, really, quite troubling. It was just some stupid game, after all - why was he getting to invested? Did it really matter to him? Maybe he should walk away and just get on with things.

He thought to himself as his hands mechanically went through the process of casting the line and reeling in the Magikarp, all while his mind was far away.

it was time to go for another. once more he'd ready his line and send it flying. awaiting for a bite. once he felt something snip, he'd take hold within reeling it in.

Sam threw his line into the water and watched as the bobber just did it's thing, bobbed up and down in the water. His eyes looked over the water lazily. What a chill day, maybe he'd get a nibble or something.

he gets another magikarp, though it wasn't as pretty as the magikarp that the other fishers get. while he doesn't usually care about the appearance of any pokemon besides his dogs, the fact that he's quite unlucky compared to others makes him kinda sad.

no other way around it besides testing his luck multiple times until he gets one that he wants. he casts his line once more.

this time she actually managed to stay awake, if just for a bit. the moment she felt a tug on her line, she yanked it forth.

He frowned at the Magikarp dangling limply from the end of his fishing pole, prodding the helpless thing with a finger. It blinked myopically at him as it swayed, before he shook his head and gently let it back into the pool.

Thomas stands at the pier, gripping his fishing rod, and waiting patiently for a tug. Though it had been years since he had done any sort of fishing, the process was like riding a bicycle to him. Finally, as he felt something tugging at his line, he immediately pulled it to the surface. Despite its struggles, Thomas persisted, eventually reeling the Magikarp in.

Rose inspects the next fish that tugs her line. This one black, white, and spotty. It doesn't flop quite as much as the fish prior and she feels bad for it. Perhaps it was diseased. For a moment she considers if throwing it back in the pool would be the best thing to do, but rationalizes the decision by convincing herself that the organizer of this even would have good enough sense to treat the stock. Well, at least no one would be eating them.

There were seriously so many people coming and going this time of the day.[break][break]

Why didn’t he think of coming back much later at a time when there weren’t so many bodies crowding around and jostling with their fishing rods or flimsy paper nets, trying to catch the elusive golden Magikarp that was last seen drifting lazily near the bottom of the pool?[break][break]

Because he was on his way somewhere and had to get going, that’s what![break][break]

Sighing, he falls in line and this time takes a fishing pole.[break][break]

Maybe his luck would change if he tried to use a different apparatus?[break][break]

How he hated waiting. How he hated being in line for so long![break][break]

After what felt like an eternity, he finally arrives at the front and throws his line down.[break][break]

It doesn’t take long before something begins nibbling, and with as much strength as he can muster, he yanks the pole upwards, hoping that he’d gotten something decent this time…[break][break]

the one he got earlier was a normal one.

maybe fishing wasn't for him, but that does not stop priam from trying to get the rumored golden magikarp from the seas. he does not care how many tries it takes until he gets there, so he casts his line in the water for another try, waiting patiently (which was surprising on its own) and then pulling the magikarp out when he feels the nibble.
