[Letter to Adelle] / [Action in Rabanastre | OTA]

[resplendance]

( Letter to Adelle )

[Once her letter is posted, Penelo has some important business to attend to. She's one of the "lucky" few to be invited to the inner circle attendees for the fête. She is less than comfortable with the idea. Certainly she considers Larsa and Ashe friends, but it's still one Lowtown dancer in the company of nobles, royalty, and diplomats. She doesn't belong in places like that and she knows it all too well.

But go she truly must. It would offend and hurt Ashe if she didn't. So rather than shopping for a pretty dress for the occasion, she's in the market for something suitable to wear to the palace party. Not that she minds shopping, but it's turning out that what's appropriate for the evening far exceeds her budget and her practical sensibilities.

((Feel free to catch her in a shop or just out in the street while running errands.))]

[Action/Hunt in the Salikawood | OTA]

[cruentatafoedus]

That tricky bunny keeps eluding me! Someone catch it and get that Stardust off its tail. Actually, bring me the whole tail. I need both for my potions. No, bring me the whole carcass. The meat will make a fine dinner.

[One path, then three - all are dead ends. Indeed, he did employ his skill, a bit of magick, hop an airship after learning of the Hunt from a strange little fellow to, of course, meander around as though the sticky, steamy jungle had wormed its way into his head.]

[Just go back and forth, the Moogles in the area have explained to him, though the game is rare, something about the little creature has a particular fondness for jumping out and trying to surprise people in the section of map his grimoire provides called The Sun-Dappled Path. They also try to explain that sometimes relentlessly killing a Wyrdhare helps, and he's already killed two of them with no luck (there's also some strange guilt killing the little creatures after they so merrily dropped a chipped hi-potion on his head, skittering away when he jumped at suddenly becoming wet, albeit feeling better).]

[He doesn't admit he's spent a bit more of his time noting the path to the Necrohol of Nabudis, that in some part he is here because...it is there, and he has spent time watching the lumbering beasts, the things that used to be people clambering from the earth thanks to his actions. Surely his brother needs to retain Nabradia, but at times, when he narrowly avoids a bomb thanks to his skills being primarily physically based (and one has indeed already blown up in his face), he thinks it should be left alone.]

[Walking and thinking seems to be about the only thing he can do until the troublemaker appears, and think he does.]

[Whichever god invented the Malboro, by the way, should truly be punished. The smell is amazing.]

...Boss?

[She taps the linkpearl a few times, shakes it around and then holds it to her ear.]

( Might be kidnapped or something. )

[For a moment, all is silent. She pouts.]

Look, it's not my fault. I mean, I think it's not my fault. It's probably not my fault. It's unfair to assume it's my fault when I've not even done anything wrong yet. The least you could do is say something!

...boss?

[She frowns and taps at the pearl again.]

Other boss? [Tap tap] Princess?

[Tap tap] Drividot? Drividot, it's me. Could you let the bosses know I'll be late? I'm a little bit kidnapped and-

[Tap tap] Snowdrop? [Tap tap] Flowerboy? [Tap tap tap] ...Sis?

[Nothing. She grumbles under her breath about how mean the linkpearl is being to her right now and how she's going to get into all sorts of trouble if she's late again - which seems to be her main concern here - as she slumps back against the wall...

...only to find herself face to face with a sheep.]

I want a diamond! [It demands, putting on its best cute face. Its a very good cute face, but Braids just sighs in a very put-upon manner and scratches its head.]

I want a working linkpearl.

[Later, an elezen girl and her sheep can be found wandering the Estersand. Entirely aimlessly, and seemingly not too concerned about things like water. Someone might want to retrieve them.]
