Mooglehunt

[not_most_days]

Characters: James Kidd (Mary Read) and the Heroes she's approached about her Assassin's Guild
Where: Trano Golsaucia
When: Begins November 6th and hopefully ends by the 9th
Summary: The information that Mary has gathered has lead her to believe that the fugitive moogle Artemicion has been spotted in Trano Golsaucia. She's decided to take a small group to take him in herself.
OOC notes: This log is semi closed to people who Kidd has had CR with. However the first prompt will be open and if you want to try to come on board please contact me via plurk or message. Even so, she wants to keep party size limited so to not spook her quarry. OOC post here: link

Largely this will be a first proper mission for her guild's pc trainee's. Information on the Artimicion will be supplied by the mods as they're able to help us out. Beyond that this is sneakytime fun. I'll handle any npcs that we interact with. I believe the best way to do it would be for each player to pick which location and date they will be searching an area during the trip, covering the 7th and 8th. On the 9th a move will be made and hopefully the moogle will be captured.

___________________________________________

On the 5th, letters go out to a few particular Heroes, and not through the normal Mognet channels. Instead they are dropped off quickly and quietly, though a keen eye may still spot the hooded moogle jumping from hiding place to perching point as she goes about her deliveries.

The letter reads:

Dear Friends,

Ever since the vanishing of Palitutu I have been reaching out to various contacts that I could make around the world, trying to find out what I can about her movements. While the Tarutaru has remained elusive, there seem to have been sightings of a particular moogle that I would like to investigate and I'd appreciate your assistance.

Please meet me at the Eagle Eye pub tomorrow so that we may discuss matters.

Yours,
James Kidd

"Mmmm, maybe." She gripped the bottle in both hands, thinking it over before taking a long pull straight from it. A little liquid courage would help if they were going down this path. No shame in it. It helped her nerves to be this open.

"Sephiroth is rather strapping, isn't he? And perhaps if Ramza were a bit older....Lady Ashelia would be a nice catch but I get the feeling she wouldn't be interested." Her eyes flitted over to Saori at the other table and her lips quirked in a smirk. "There may be someone, aye. Just haven't had a chance yet to really explore it."

Yuffie looked over at Mary with an unblinking expression. “You go after Ramza and I’ll break your legs.” She was doing what any good sister would which was keeping someone potentially dangerous away from her brother. She smiled at Mary before following her gaze towards Saori.

“Sephiroth and Ashe are too tense but you’re willing to try… As for Saori.” Yuffie giggled now because she knew something about that. “I heard that she was dating a guy here but she has kids at home? Or something, I was eavesdropping at the time. Apparently the two of them did it a lot so she’s probably open for someone to jump in.”

The fact that Yuffie knew this really shouldn’t surprise Mary but she’s pretty blunt about it considering the furthest she’s gotten with a guy was kissing.

Yuffie's threat was met with a blank stair and then loud laughter. She knew that the two knew each other but she didn't expect that level of violent protection of the lad. "Ahaha! Like I said, he's a mite too young for me but don't worry...I won't get in your way." She gave Yuffie a wink before settling back comfortably. She was feeling nice and loose right now and she was realizing how much she needed this before they set out on their business.

"I suppose I'll have to ask Saori about that myself. She did beat Ramza for me at the dating auction, so I guess we'll see what she's after soon enough." She paused a moment but then leaned in, furrowing her brow, "Do you know who it was here that she was seeing?"

She couldn't help but be curious.

"His name was Laguna but I think she's married too... so I think she can date or see a lot of people at once." Yuffie wasn't so good at that herself. She got jealous and possessive of one person, at least in that regard. She was protective of friends and family members regardless.

"AND RAMZA AND I AREN'T LIKE THAT!"

In case it wasn't clear she's freaking out that Kidd suggested it.

An eyebrow quirked at Yuffie's further assessment of Saori. She hadn't really known married folk to date multiple people without trying to keep it all a secret. At the very least things still seemed...promising perhaps?

But Yuffie's outburst about Ramza just made her laugh all the more. It was a good buzzed laugh and it was lifting her spirit, even if it was at the expense of Yuffie's dignity.

Yuffie was going to very ungracefully drop the subject. She gulped down what was left of her cup feeling the buzz instantly hit her.

This was too much of an awkward conversation and Mary was laughing at her!!!

Mary didn't press any further when Yuffie stopped fighting back. It was never intended as anything more than friendly ribbing. Pouring herself another drink she simply sat back and drank it slow.

Where Yuffie wanted to take this from here was up to her, but Mary wasn't planning to hold any of this against her.
