Parcel Problems
Secretary: Good morning! Would you like to open an account here?
This time you agree to open the account since you've got the money to do so.
Secretary: Thank you! Come again!
You leave the Tikean Storage Facility. Upon entering Town Square, you meet up with the Blonde Mage again.
Blonde Mage: Hey! I remember you! You helped me find my cat, didn't you?
Dashe: Actually...it was a CAR, not a CAT.
Blonde Mage: Thanks again...uh...what did you say your name was?
Dashe: My name's Dashe. What's yours?
You are taken to another name entry screen. This time it's for the Blonde Mage. Again, for the purpose of this demonstration, you select the default name, Elbie.
Elbie: Uh...it's Elbie...I think.
Dashe: (Really, how could someone forget their own name?) Nice meeting you.
Elbie: Are you doing anything important right now?
Dashe: Actually, I'm trying to figure out who owns this package the Innkeeper gave me. It got sent to the wrong address. Do you know who it could belong to?
Elbie: Not off the top of my head, but I could help you look...
Elbie joined your party! Now you have to deal with her following you around all day. You run towards a huge clock tower and up some stairs set into the city wall to a huge garden of some sort. A gardner is busily watering some plants.
Gardener: Stop! Townspeople are not allowed in Supreme Magister Cid's garden!!!
Dashe: Huh? I'm not a Townsperson, I'm Dashe, Master Thief of Yenro Village! And who the heck is this Supreme Magister Cid guy anyway?
Elbie: O_O You mean you DON'T know who Supreme Magister Cid is??? He's the Supreme Magister of Tikea!
Gardener: Yeah, and even though he's in charge of the kingdom, there aren't really many people who've ever seen him. Heck, I'm his gardener, and I don't think I've ever seen him in my life!
Elbie: I heard a rumor that anyone who trespasses into his mansion in the Executive District gets executed immediately!
Gardener: You heard that too?
Dashe: I don't like the sound of that at all...that Cid guy sounds like a weirdo! Let's get outta here!!!
Gardener: Head straight down that path to your right and you should be in the Executive District. And try not to get caught by any guards!
Dashe: Thanks!!! *Runs off*
You run down the path to the Executive District, which consists of a main road lined with fancy apartments and little shops. At one street corner, a police lady with poofy hair can be seen chasing a little boy out of a store, and at another there is a fancy-looking cafe. You run down the street and talk to a townsperson.
TP#2: Yes? What is it?
Dashe: Do you know anyone who's lost a package?
TP#2: Nope...oh, wait a second! There was this lady who went into that music shop over there who was saying something about a package...maybe it belongs to her?
Dashe: Oh-kay, I'll check it out!!! Later! *Runs off*
You run over to the music shop and enter it. You find the lady right away, since she's the only other person in the shop besides the shopkeeper.
Dashe: Hey, is this yours? *Holds up the package*
Lady: Oh, I didn't think this thing was EVER going to come in! Sorry, but I just went and bought another one. Since I don't need this anymore, you can have what's in the package, all right?
You Got: Crystal Kazoo!
Dashe: -_- Well that was a waste.
Elbie: And what the heck are we supposed to do with a kazoo, eat it?
Dashe: Maybe we can figure that out later.
You follow the main road of the Executive District through another district, and then to the Business District. You find a weapon shop/armory and enter it.
Dashe: Hey shopkeeper! I wanna buy something!
Shopkeeper: Welcome to my store. We have the best selection in Tikea, you know...
Dashe: Where have I heard that before?
You upgrade all your weapons and armor and equip everything, then sell your old stuff and leave. You continue to explore and talk to townspeople. If I were to include every conversation you had it would just take up space...so let's just say the conversations happened and be done with it. You head back to the Inn.
Innkeeper: Hey, welcome back! Did you deliver that package yet?
Dashe: The lady who was supposed to get it didn't need it, and all I got as a reward was this stupid kazoo!!!
Elbie: Dashe, do you ALWAYS think only about yourself???
Dashe: Hey, I'm a Thief, it's in the job description! Anyway, Innkeeper, that's Elbie, and she decided to join my party.
Innkeeper: Party? You mean you're an adventurer?
Dashe: A what?
Innkeeper: That's what I call player-controlled characters.
Dashe: Oh yeah!
Innkeeper: Anyway, it'll be 100 Gil for the night.
Dashe: 100 GIL??? Last night it was only 50 Gil!
Innkeeper: And last night there was only one of you. It'll be 100 Gil for a party of two. Do the math.
Dashe: At this rate I'll be broke before the week's over!
Innkeeper: You might want to try battling monsters just outside of town. You're a Thief, right? If during a battle you use the skill "Steal," you might be able to obtain extra Gil and Items from battling. Do you want me to explain this again?
Dashe: Please, no, I'm fine...
Elbie: Well, I for one think we should call it a day.
Dashe: Right.
They head up to the room for the night.
