Tensions in Tikea
Creepy Guy: Hey! Hey you!
Dashe: ???
Creepy Guy: Yes you! Come over here! There is an issue that I must address which requires your immediate attention!
Elbie: Dashe, I don't think that's such a good idea! I really don't like the way he's leaning suspiciously against that ominously placed wall over there...it's so suspicious!
Dashe: Maybe so, but it's suspicious characters like that which really make the plot thicken. *Walks over to the guy with Elbie trailing uncertainly behind*
Creepy Guy: Have you seen the ambassador from Faktys yet? You know, the one that looks like he's been drawn by a five-year-old?
Dashe: No...
Creepy Guy: Well he basically looks like a giant, animated stick figure. He's not hard to spot in this elaborately-drawn and detailed kingdom. I wouldn't trust that guy if I were you. His name's El Microondas, and there's something about him that just tells me he's no ordinary ambassador. I'd avoid him at all costs. Understand?
Elbie: No...
Creepy Guy: Just don't go anywhere near him. If you see him at all, leave the vicinity immediately. I have a feeling he will bring chaos and turmoil to Tikea in the near future.
Dashe: Got it.
Just then, El Microondas walks into the Business District and passes near where they are conversing.
Elbie: Hey, there's that guy we were just talking about!
Dashe: *Turns around* Huh? Gaah...what should I... *Turns around again to ask the Creepy Guy for instructions, but he has mysteriously vanished* Dang it! Come on Elbie, let's get out of here, NOW!
Unfortunately Elbie has run off to a local shop and is looking at Barbie dolls in the window. Dashe charges into the street to get her but unfortunately on the way she crashes into El Microondas, knocking him over into a mud puddle and ruining his new robe. Dashe backs away, petrified with fear as he glares at her with the fiercest eyes a five-year-old could possibly draw. Dashe bolts, grabs Elbie, and heads back to Town Square. Unfortunately by the time they get there, word has spread throught the kingdom about the incident.
TP#4: *Whispering* Hey, isn't that the kid who ran into the guy from Faktys?
TP#5: *Whispering* Maybe we should leave! These shoes are spotless and I want them to stay that way!
TP#3: *Whispering* She just barged into my house the other day too, like it was just there, and it was some kind of video game! Let's get out of here!
The three townspeople leave, and the remaining few in the square look at Dashe and Elbie weird and retreat into shops.
Dashe: What's that all about?
Elbie: Beats me.
You attempt to talk to the townspeople in the other districts, but fail miserably, as none of them wish to speak to "that clumsy little brat who has probably jeopardized Tikea as we know it." You deposit another 1000 or so Gil in the storage facility and return to the Inn.
Innkeeper: That'll be 200 Gil for the room, shorty.
Dashe: X_X WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE HECK??????????????? YESTERDAY IT ONLY COST ME 100 GIL FOR A ROOM!!! YOU DON'T SEE FOUR PARTY MEMBERS HERE, DO YOU??? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME GO BROKE OR SOMETHING???
Innkeeper: You are a threat of the well-being of Tikea, and you are also a threat to my income. Recently Tikea has been in an economic slump, and we can't afford to go to war with a powerful continent like Faktys. The population of Tikea has declared you public nuisances and therefore forced me to double your fees for a nightly stay.
Elbie: Just be glad they didn't kick us out, Dashe.
Dashe: ~_~ My money...all gone...because of that stupid El Microphone guy!!! AAAUUURRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!
Innkeeper: Well, will you be staying here, or will you be going back that that Yenro Village of yours? Make up your mind!
Dashe: I'll stay here. *Forks over the 200 Gil*
You head up to the room and heal your HP, MP, and whatnot...
