That Final Fantasy XIV thread I mentioned I wanted to start that one time.

It's unfortunate you don't liky Hildy, but I do like the first relic quest. Gerolt being the straight man for a change sure is something, and I'm here for it.

In other news: Variant dungeon sucks ass, I hate it. I get to swap out one mechanic on my boss of choice and on two of them it gets used only once, radical. Haven't had the chance to try out criterion yet but I hear good things, so at least I've got something to look forward to, but man do I really hate variant in its current state.

But hey I got the snazzy skink out of the deal, at least!

probably not my best quality post again, but for a slightly different reason. Slightly delirious from a booster shot's fever, so apologies in advance.

Ting left the table, shrinking the part down to two. Still munching on a pastry, Gale somewhat lazily watched the Aron waddle off. "Fyo," he addressed the Fomantis before swallowing, "Is that fruit juice any good?"

Gale's food-addled brain aside, it took surprisingly little time for him to finish the rest of his breakfast and join Ting in waiting at Kick's office. Before the Aron ever opened the door, Gale withdrew back into the recesses of his mind. He was still mulling over what their mission could look like, even far after the conversation had died down. Investigating something? Helping someone sort their storage? Looking for stray coins of poké on the floor? Maybe not that last one, but one thing's for sure: Before he knew it, both Fio and Ting had already stepped inside the office while Gale was left there, blinking. He quickly hurried inside to join them, listening in carefully to Kick's explanation.

The party was to make their way due south to a nearby orchard, anywhere from half a day to a day's walk. Find out why the stock's coming up short and report back. Sounded simple enough, even if it's not exactly any kind of handiwork gale had done before. Usually he'd had to help harvest the orchard, not go ghost hunting. Come to think of it, didn't he pass that place on his way to Mandalay...? He remembers seeing something of the sort, but couldn't recall how far off from the city it actually was. Or the direction. Gale might have been slightly bad at keeping track of both those things. Either way, first he had to-

-snap back to reality, given that Kick just shoved a small little badge in his paws. Wooden, carved with an R and with a ribbon that matched the one around his ear. Proof the three of them are a part of the guild, and all that. Kick gave the party some suggestions on what to do, asked if they had any questions and left the three of them to it. Gale didn't have anything he needed Kick to answer, so he waited until the other two were finished and thanked Kick for his time.

Once back outside the office, Gale put his paw to his chin and seemingly took initiative for a change, speaking up with: "If we're going to be travelling for a day, we might want to pick up some food for the road. But I'm also pretty curious about that fortune-telling?"

His words made it pretty evident that Gale actually didn't actually have any plans to take decisive action. "Maybe we should split up and do both? We can have our fortune read and go shopping, then meet up in town. What do you two think?"

Alright I'm out of my MON-WED rush, I'll see about getting something up tomorrow

Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Soul Mirror

”Blade Knight...!" Kei would cry out as Skull Servant smashed right though his monster, dropping his LP down a tiny bit. The way this ragged stranger played was causing Kei no end of confusion. He'd left his field wide open at the end of the turn, and somehow, Kei had a feeling that the man had avoided attacking Silent Swordsman on purpose. Only one thing left for him to do at this point: Declare the start of his turn, and...

”Draw!"

Kei gave a brief glance to the card he'd gotten into his hand, smirked and put it with the rest. He then threw his hand forward. ”Dunno what you're planning, but thanks for leaving my partner on the field! In my standby phase, he'll evolve into his true self! Let's go, Silent Swordsman LV5!" Kei excitedly shouted. The tiny soldier on his field was basked in that familiar white glow, morphing and growing taller before both duelist's eyes. LV5 brandished his blade in an imposing manner, now grown more fierce than before.

Silent Swordsman LV5: 2300 ATK

”I'm not done yet! With 'The Warrior Returning Alive' I'll bring back Blade Knight from my graveyard to the hand, and then... summon! Marauding Captain, who's effect brings Blade Knight with him!" Kei would continue his turn unabated. The troop's commander would raise up on the field, call out Blade Knight with a rallying cry and cause Kei to have three monsters on his field in one fell swoop.

Blade Knight: 1600 ATK
Marauding Captain: 1200 ATK

Kei narrowed his eyes at his opponent's field. That one set card was worrying him; it was probably a trap to stop Kei's attacks. Thus, playing it safe, he would attack with his weaker monsters first. ”Marauding Captain! Blade Knight! Launch consecutive direct attacks!" Kei ordered his warriors. Both of their blades cut cleanly across the ragged man, who didn't put up an ounce of resistance.

Haruo: 3000 > 200LP

Kei fistbumped the air in celebration. ”Hell yeah! Big damage, baby!" Though his celebrating might've been premature, with the trap card not stopping Kei's assault he was all but certain he had this duel won. The adrenaline even made him forget how tired his body actually was. ”I dunno what you wanted from me old man, but I've got this in the bag! Let's finish this with a direct attack, partner!" sounded Kei's order to Silent Swordsman. The warrior slid the flat side of his sword across his arm, then grabbed onto its hilt with both hands. Leaping up into the air, he'd come down on the stranger for a slash. It seemed to strike true, causing an explosion. Even though the ragged man's field was covered in smoke, Kei was sure to let his thoughts be known.

”Alright! I win!"

's not much, but I didn't have many ideas either, woop woop.

Gale continued to chow down on his food. Each time both Fio and Ting took their eyes off him for a moment, he'd grabbed something else to snack on. Currently having his mouth stuffed with one of the ever-shrinking supply of omelettes, the Minun got to thinking. "Hm..." he hummed to himself as the question of their first job hung over the impromptu party's head. Making sure to swallow before speaking up this time, Gale said: "I don't think we'll be sent after a scary Pokemon yet... maybe we'll do something small like look for someone's lost item?"

Gale put his paw to his chin again. "Then again... but maybe..." he started to mutter to himself, wandering off from the table for a bit. He looked really deep in thought. You'd think the Minun was considering the question seriously, but in reality, it quickly became apparent he'd just wandered off towards the pastry table to grab a few confections. Not missing a beat after returning to the now-extinct-omelette table, Gale sat down to take a bite out of a tart. "...Mhm. Delicious," he said with an approving nod.

The minun then looked up at the other two. "I think we might get the same job. Maybe it'll be like a competition."

I'll be posting tomorrow. Too many lessons mon-thurs this week for me to have enough brain juice to conjure up writing.

EDIT: RPG was dead for like, the majority of the day where I was available, so add another day on top.

Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Soul Mirror

A vein was about to pop out the side of Kei's head as the stranger opened up the duel. ”It's not 'Kid'... my name is Kei! Kei!" he shouted, clearly not happy about being called out for his youthful appearance. The boy would carefully watch his opponent's moves, so it shocked him when the stranger discarded a large chunk of his opening hand just like that. "Is he crazy?" Kei thought to himself. With only two cards to protect the man, Kei made up his mind to come out the gate swinging.

”Alright, it's my turn! Draw!" the boy opened up, swiping the first card from the top of his deck. He gave it a brief glance and smirked. ”Hah! I'll use this right away! With Reinforcement of the Army, I can add the best card in my deck to my hand!" Kei gleefully explained, his duel disk ejecting a single card from the middle deck. Once he'd grabbed a hold of it, the duel disk shuffled the cards automatically. ”Now I use another spell: Double summon! I can summon two monsters from my hand instead of only one this turn! First up is Blade Knight!"

Kei slammed a card down on his disk and from that, a blue-armored knight appeared on the field. Then the boy smirked as he picked up the card added to his hand earlier that turn. ”Now for the best card in my deck! My one and only partner: Silent Swordsman LV3!"

A small breeze passed through the back alley, right as a portal opened next to Blade Knight. Out of it jumped the tiny warrior with his oversized sword, his one visible eye focused straight onto the stranger's set cards.

Blade Knight: 1600 ATK
Silent Swordsman: 1000 ATK

Kei dished out some orders for his monsters: ”Alright! Blade Knight, attack his monster! Partner, you follow up with a direct attack!" and with that command, Blade Knight slashed clean through the set monster. A brief image of a treasure box with teeth flashed by, before shattering into particles. The attack was a success and Silent Swordsman wasted no time in following through, dashing forward and slashing the opponent in his side.

Haruo: 4000 > 3000 LP

”The first damage is mine! Turn end!"

That Final Fantasy XIV thread I mentioned I wanted to start that one time.

I made some instant portraits for fun that'll probably never actually get used because I play almost exclusively WHM in PvP.
