FFD6 The Dicening, Group 2, To Kill The Beast - Page 7

Lurching into the inn, having taken his time making his way through town while he readjusted to being on solid ground--especially after the bang-up landing job--Prasad did his best to straighten up and shoot a wink at Vera as they passed one another, then slouching back over and cradling his stomach once she was far enough behind him.

Entering the nearest room, the moogle collapsed face down on the bed, letting out a muffled groan for a moment before looking up to see Argath next to him.

"Oh... Sup?"

Dracorion · 12-31-2010, 07:49 PM

Argath just kept smiling as Vera stormed off. And he was glad to be rid of her. Soon after she left, the Moogle from his group came into the room, not seeming to notice him.

The little guy hadn't seemed to take the airship ride very well, and still looked rather sick now. Finally noticing Argath, he looked up and said "Oh... Sup?"

"Sup." The male Viera replied simply. "You know, if you're not feeling well it's probably a good idea to eat something."

Prasad shook his head, rolling over onto his back as he stared up at the ceiling for a moment, a bit pleased that it didn't appear to be spinning. "I'll get a bite soon enough. Just need a little time to relax after being kupo'd up on that flying deathtrap..."

There's also the issue of not having the gil on me for dinner, the moogle thought to himself. Getting a free meal might be a bit tricky, but certainly not impossible. It all simply depended on who he could work over. This rare specimen in the room with him could very well be the meal ticket in question, though exactly how to charm a male viera was something outside his usual area of expertise.

There was a brief silence as he pondered the situation, deciding to take what seemed to be the obvious conversational path to success, "So... bitches, amirite?"

Dracorion · 12-31-2010, 09:23 PM

"Bitches." Argath said with a smirk at the Moogle. "That one in particular that just left is extra bitchy. What's her name anyway, do you know?"

He found he liked the Moogle more than his other companions, so he might as well hang out with him for a while. "I'm not so thrilled about out other teammates. The Red Mage and the White Mage are okay, but the other two just rub me the wrong way."

POS Industries · 12-31-2010, 10:10 PM

"Vera, as I recall. Vera the Viera? Yeesh. Anyway, fancies herself quite the thief, if I had to guess," Prasad answered, "A teammate who's not afraid to cheat to win can be a valuable asset, but he who trusts a cheater is liable to get cheated himself. Needless to say, I don't see myself sleeping well around her."

"The other young lady, the one wielding what looks like a propeller blade, she might be a bit more fun, though. Strikes me as the sort to kupo back a few drinks and paint the town red," he chuckled, before letting out a shrug at Argath, "Though at least that's my definition of fun. Dunno about you."

Prasad sat up, eying the doorway to make sure no one was coming before continuing, "The mages are a mixed bag. The two tarut should be useful--the red mage is almost as smooth an operator as yours truly--but that hume..."

Dracorion · 01-01-2011, 06:47 AM

"Vera, right." Then he realized. "It's Argath, by the way." He said, extending his hand to the Moogle.

He avoided commenting on the other Mithra since he didn't want to explain that the reason he disliked her was because she was a female and therefore just as stuck-up and arrogant as the rest of them.

"The Blue Mage is going to be trouble, I think. We should figure out how to keep him in line, just in case."

Caspin stood over the map and stared down at where the doctor had pointed. Examining all the little details around the place he might need to locate it once they were on their way, while Fie took care of their petrification troubles.

With the Doctor being a bit of a bother now, and all their neccesities taken care of Caspin simply stepped out the door without so much as a thank you. It was about time they see if everyone else had handled their business.

Fie looks over the map and does his best to make note of the details as well, before thanking the doctor and leaving.

...He gets about halfway to the inn before the realization hits him that he just spent his last gil and has no way of paying for the room he's presumably about to be occupying. He slinks into the inn and looks around for any of his companions, hoping to catch a ride in a drawer or something of the like.

The aged doctor had looked at Jade and Caspin carefully after their questions. He sighed deeply and retrieved a map from beneath the counter. "Here," he said, pointing at a specific spot. "As for anything else, I can only tell you the stories the men say. It's big. Looks like an ape or a sasquatch, but it doesn't have any fur, or skin, and it turns thing to stone before it eats them. No one has been so foolish to try and hunt the beast, at least not that they've told me, so I can't help you more than that."

Looking past the pair he continues, "Now, if that's all, I believe I have a paying customer..." he trailed off, his eyes moving toward Fie. "And what would you like to purchase?"

"Thank you, Doctor." Jade replied enthusiastically, looking at the map intently. "That's a great help. With such a small area to search, we'll have it caught within the week or my name isn't Jade Degaur! Now if you'll excuse me, I must go."

The young Viera warrior spun around and marched out the door. It was time to question some villagers.

* * *

"I thought I saw it once, but it was just a cow."

* * *

"They're saying it's this big gorilla with no skin."

* * *

"Welcome to Mandala!"

* * *

"You're not really going to hunt that thing?!"

* * *

"If you want to know where the attacks have been happening, you should probably talk to the doctor."

* * *

The thought occured to Jade that the hunting shop might be worth a look. Its clientele was hunters, the people most likely to have seen the beast and they'd have the experience to give useful information about it.

Failing that, there might be someone interesting to talk swords with.

It was quite obvious that no-one in her group appreciated them like she did.

The owner, a smallish hume man with slightly greasy hair and rustic clothing--that matched the decor of the shop, garishly decorated with the heads and other trophy parts of various animals, perked up immediately upon Docus's entrance and questions. Standing quickly from his log counter he made his way around toward Docus, to allow better conversation.

"Ah yes! The Udrafresk! Quite the fearsome beast that! Why you're lucky you came here, I've everything you need to face the beast," he exclaimed excitedly as he moved over to a small rack of what appeared to be copper weapons. Gilded in gold. And other objects made of the same material.

"Now, these right here are what you need. Copper and gold." He raised a hand to quiet the small mage before he could speak, assuming that the Tarut knew about the extremely low strength of such metals and how unsuitable for combat (or containment) they really were.

"I know what you're thinking," he continued, "A creature that big? That frightful? Why he'd tear right through these fancy prodders, but you'd be wrong! I had not less than five people out here this week alone saying the Udrafresk's flesh burns on contact with precious metals. Why one hunter only escaped with his life by throwing a gil on the beast!"

Picking up a copper staff, hefty in weight, he presented it to the Tarut, "Of course, we only carry top of the line objects here, and as such there is the matter of price, this object, for instance, will run you about 1000 gil."
