I'm your little butterfly

Who: Zoe Gallais and OPEN
Where: Capricorn District
Summary: Zoe has a quest that she needs to complete, but she's not that great at it.
Warnings: Possible hitting with nets will occur.

[The quest Zoe had been given by the Velvet Room involved catching a blue butterfly. So today Zoe was out in the Capricorn District trying to find said blue butterfly. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much experience with bug catching and tends to mostly been flailing around with the net she had be given.

So she apologizes in advance if she hits or nearly hits anyone with the net; she just really wants to catch the blue butterfly and nothing will stop her, even if that means hitting someone by accident. But she will also gladly welcome any help, since she does has very little idea about what she is doing.]

[He would be sort of correct in that assumption. And Zoe will just point to the butterfly fluttering some distance away.]

I was given the task to catch that blue butterfly. However I am very... Inexperienced when it comes to bug catching.

[He looks where she's pointing, seeing the blue butterfly in question fluttering some distance away. He hadn't tried bug-catching since he was a kid, but he'd played enough video games to have a half-baked idea.]

Maybe running and swinging at it is your problem... [Especially if she's doing it in a hazardous enough fashion to crash into people.] Have you tried baiting it and sneaking up on it?

[Zoe is sadly not the kind of person to be sneaky, so she usually tends to default to 'charge and hope for the best'.]

Not yet... Maybe I should wait and see if it lands on a patch of flowers first.

Ahh, I played a game once where you had to crouch down and sneak close to the ground, then pounce like a cat or something. Try that!

[Hinata... video game mechanics are not indicative of real life.]

[Zoe blinks at him before chuckling quietly, twisting her net in her hands slightly.]

Maybe I'll switch 'pounce like a cat' with 'strike out with my net'. Less chance of hitting my face in the dirt and flattening flowers that way.
