Das Friendly Monster

[shining_derp]

WHO: Cloud, Shining, Sonic
WHAT: Heading out for monster hunting, and they come across a Cait Sith
WHEN: November 9th
WHERE: Calm Plains


When Shining Armor found out that monsters dropped money, he was all over it.

Armed with what little he had, he set out, after sending a letter to interested parties. He had gotten two responses back.

"What ho, friendly adventurers! Are we all set to have some fun?" exclaimed Shining, really getting into his Dungeon Master persona.

Dice groaned as he grinned. "So yeah, I'm Shining, and thanks for accepting my request. I'd like to head a little deeper into the Calm Plains for a bit. Is that all right?"

I've....kinda been in the same boat.

Cloud grinned as the others kept along with him. Sonic was definitely putting on a good show and watching Shining run like this was helping Cloud to understand why people in other worlds used those "horse" things, if they were anything similar.

But he had faith in Zack and his speed and skill. All it took was a pat to the Chocobo's neck to spur him to go faster. They would reach their destination in no time.

An hour later, they reached the Calm Plains and Shining took a moment to catch his breath. "Pretty good run," he said with a grin.

As he sat down and sipped his canteen, a rustling sound was heard. "Monsters already?"

"Not a monster that you want to fight, oh no, oh no, that would be a fright!" chimed a voice as a Cait Sith plopped out of the bushes with a roll.

"Trally hi and tralala lo, 2000 gil, please pay my toll?"

Sonic blinked as he saw the creature before them. "What in the...? A toll?"

He looked towards the others. "Know what he's talking about?"

Cloud frowned at the vaguely familiar sight of the monster. He knew a few things about his future and this was a particularly notable shape. But it definitely wasn't the Cait Sith from his world here.

"Um....I think some of the other Heroes mentioned running into some friendly monsters? Maybe it's one of those." His hand went to his belt. "I have some gil I could spare?"

Re: same

[shining_derp]

"I have some... about... 900 I think? Anyone got anymore?" asked Shining, worried they couldn't pay the toll.

The Cait Sith seemed friendly enough. "No wait... found another 200 gil."

Sonic shrugged. "I got a lot left over. I haven't found much to spend here, so... what, at least 1000? I'm cool with it!"

Re: same

Cloud looked through his own gilpurse and then smiled at Shining. "Put your money away. I think Sonic and I can cover this." A thousand gil wasn't small change to him, but there was no need to force the newbie to pay.

"You two..." Shining smiled and ducked his head in embarrassment. "Thanks you two. I just, this means a lot. I'll make it up to both of you. Promise."

"Oh oh, what bonds of friendship I see, to three who have been introduced such recently!" Exclaimed the Cait Sith. "With good fortune I accept your money, gil and all, and to your strengths, I bless the three of you, one and all!"
