Rooftop Protection

[bag_has_snapped]

Who: Tsubomi (and Natalia) and YOU
What: Biggs has assigned a job to protect the city from Bad Santas. Tsubomi's on the job. Again!
When: Anytime before Christmas, really!
Where: Aqures Ixen
Warnings: Not much

Tsubomi had been given a job by Biggs - she has to wonder if they get tired of the begging and handing out of jobs or not - and this one seems to hit home quite well. There were burglary reports from people dressed as Santa breaking into homes. She didn't want to disappoint people and quickly accepted the job that'll let her regain her old Santa job.

It may be night time, but Tsubomi was willing to stay up to catch someone. At the moment, she opted to take up her Pirate and Gunner jobs, hoping the two jobs and the sight of her old Airship would be enough to scare criminals into giving up.

And while there was another out there doing the same, she wouldn't mind some sort of help as well!

Natalia had been appalled at the notion that these bandits not only had the gall to steal from people's homes, but did so wearing the clothes of a figure that children loved and trusted. This terrible injustice could not be allowed to continue, and she accepted the assignment at once, vowing that they would put a stop to the crime spree.

Later she reflected on the oddness of being asked to stop some thieves while requesting the Thief job, but her idea of a Thief was quite different.

Much as she disliked the idea of setting aside her White Mage job, she couldn't equip three at once, and healing spells did little to discourage a brute the way an arrow did. And as she couldn't possibly take off the Santa Claus job in the month it was most needed, she kept that one as well. She thought she might need it (the All-Knowing List in particular) in order to determine whether someone dressed as Santa Claus entering a home was a beloved family member surprising his kids, or a rotten scoundrel who needed to be stopped.

She approached Tsubomi, tugging her scarf down from her mouth and nose before shaking some of the snow out of her short hair. "Shall we split up and cover different districts, or stick together? Both options have their merits."

Tsubomi turned to Natalia as she pondered their options. "I think we should stick together. If anything, I have an Airship and we can cross the districts faster than on foot."

A few moments later, she whispered. "My name's Tsubomi. Thanks for joining me."

Natalia smiled, shaking her head. "Pleased to meet you, Tsubomi. My name is Natalia. There's no need to thank me. I'm proud of the opportunity we've been given to ruin the plans of these opportunistic scoundrels. Of all the nerve, taking on the guise of a trusted and beloved man for the sake of greed! It's not to be borne."

She might be a little riled up about the crimes.

"Let's remain silent as we patrol, then. They're unlikely to make a move if they think they're being watched, and I wouldn't wish to act too hastily and strike an innocent person who just wanted to surprise his family."
