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

"Ellie," Ales tugged on her skirt. "We'll have his boss know, and then we can check the places nearby."

With one extra set of eyes searching his area, they could worry less. Ales planned on making one last round throughout the Horror Square to be sure, but if the booth attendant was right, the blitzball stadium would have a giant crowd of Moogles that Artemicion could blend into. Hiding in plain sight, so they say.

"Sir, we'll look around one last time, but thank you. He might have run off like that - he's a stubborn old Moogle, you know how they are." He continued looking at the ground and holding his hands in an attempt to look nervous while still hiding his face.

Hmmmmm... That was true. She should probably stop assuming that every 'boss' in this area was secretly a criminal mastermind with an open palm waiting to be greased. She looked at Ales, the conceded to his suggestion with a nod.

"Very well. The old man did say he enjoyed a rousing game or two in his youth. It is possible he would gravitate to a place of nostalgia."

And she had candy. What was she going to do with this? Perhaps they'd meet someone later with a sweet tooth. (Sierra Games had a tendency to work that way.)

"Thank you for your assistance," she inclined her head to the vendor, before turning to move away with her partner.

The old man nodded and thanked them as well. Mostly he was just happy to be done with them. There was something about the pair that unsettled him somehow.
