and on this farm he had a cait sith

Who: Donnel, and anyone who'd like to join in!
Where: Aqures Ixen region.
When: November 16th [Back-Dated]
What: It's time to train, so Donnel has set out to fight a monster, including sending out a message on Mognet! ... Except it turns out some monsters are friendly and just want cash. Who'd a'thunk.

Training, training, training. Donnel had been doing that ever since he arrived, but he'd yet to come into a real battle - which, oddly enough, he was kind of missing. He didn't enjoy violence, but he liked being useful. So when he heard whispers that a 'creature' was spotted near Aqures Ixen, he was more than ready to go out and see what his new abilities were made of!

"Yee-haw!" He cried out, hopping onto his yellow Chocobo, Drago. He hoped others would come with him on this exciting journey!

Naminé has only just managed to make it over to the appointed place, tilting her head at the sight of the chocobo rider. Could that be the person from the Mognet?

"Excuse me! Are you Donny? I'm Naminé, I answered your letter on the Mognet."

Hopefully it wasn't a terrible thing for Akane to just kind of...rush right over without waiting for a response to her letter. She was pretty sure she hadn't stabbed and killed anyone named Donny while she was possessed, and he hadn't sent her any angry notes about zombifying any friends and loved ones. So either he didn't know, or he didn't blame her for being possessed that month.

Thank goodness, because that wasn't a first impression she'd wanted to make! She hurried over, slightly weighed down by the gunblade sheathed across her slim back. The job did give her a little more strength than usual, but she'd always been a little on the puny side. As reluctant as she was to take up either the Engineer or Magitek Knight jobs, the problems that came with them were due more to the machines. She could fight with just a bullet-shooting sword and not have to worry all that much, right? Right.

Upon arriving, she dropped into a low bow at the waist, the handle of her sword nearly bopping her in the back of the head. "Pleased to meet you!" she greeted the two somewhat breathlessly. "My name is Akane. I look forward to working with you both."

Naminé turns to offer Akane a smile when she arrives. She's quietly impressed with what little she could see of the woman's gunblade, as well as how easily Donny was able to hop onto his chocobo. Hopefully she'll be able to help them as she is. Unlike her two new companions, she's opting to go the support route, peeking up at them from under her White Mage hood. Because until she decides what new Job she wants to replace it, she's not touching Illusionist for anything.

"It's nice to meet you too, Donny, Akane. I hope we can take care of this monster together." She turns to Donny, looking to him for guidance as he was the one to arrange this expedition. "Is it very far?"

A figure emerged from the gate of Aqures Ixen, running as not to be late. The red coat of the Santa Claus Job made Duster incredibly conspicuous, especially with the accordion-like instrument he held in his hands.

"Donnel!" He waved over to the Hero with the shiniest piece of headgear. Akane was there, as well as a girl he hadn't met yet. He ran up to the Chocobo and let a hand rest on Drago's side while he caught his breath. "Sorry I'm late."

"Ready when you are." Naminé smiles at the group of them. It's certainly much different than when she was adventuring off with Sora earlier this month, but it's still nice. Just a different dynamic that she'll have to get used to. "But maybe we should wait a bit so you can catch your breath?" This is directed at Duster, with a little worried furrow set between her brows.

Duster breathed in through his nose and stood up. After a long exhale, he let his arms relax. "I'm fine. I've gone on trips like this before."
mindofathief: (why are we running?)

[personal profile] mindofathief 2016-12-07 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Duster nodded, looking at each of the other Heroes. Four of them, four faces to watch out for. "Alright. The first part about monster hunting is not to rush it. As long as we move around, we'll run into something. Don't overexert yourself before the fight." He turned around and casually walked away from Aqures Ixen as if where simply going on a walk.

That makes sense. And, well. While healing is certainly important in any fight, Naminé doesn't see it as overexerting compared to what the others might have to do. She trots after Duster, but after a moment hangs back so she can walk along Drago. Because who wouldn't want to walk next to a cute chocobo?

"Sure, but are we not looking for a cat-like monster anymore?" She tilts her head at Donny curiously.

"Well...technically it's a monster, but not the kind you need to defeat with weapons," she explained as she walked beside Naminé. "There are a few rare friendly monsters that dwell in this world. From what I've read, they can be distinguished from the others because they'll ask you for something in particular. There's a cactus monster in the desert that will ask for water, and a hamster that wants you to pet it."

She chuckled and patted her coin purse. "Cait Sith is interested in money, according to the reports. Pay him, and he'll help you get better at your equipped jobs without any extra training."

Akane was perfectly fine with allowing Duster to take the lead. She wasn't completely wet behind the ears when it came to fighting monsters, but she was still a beginner, especially with the use of a gunblade.

"The problem is that they're hard to find. We're likely to run into several of the dangerous kinds of monsters before we find our kitty friend."
redigere: (you'd think i'd know better)

Naminé immediately pats her pockets in reaction to Akane's words, worry creasing her features. Running into dangerous kinds of monsters is fine, since it will be good training, but...how much does Cait Sith want in exchange for Job experience?

"I didn't bring that much with me for this trip, though...do you think I'll still be able to get the experience from him?"
mindofathief: TBH I always equip Duster with the sweater (alright then)

"Oh, so it's...one of those monsters." Duster turned his head to the back of the group briefly. It had been months since he and Rialynn came across an imp during a nice walk by the beach. It had asked for an Elixir, but it was still a lot of money to a newly-arrived Hero.

"Did it say how much money? I only have 300 gil on me..."
