[ Since apparently nobody would trust Minato with a gun, he had to settle for a water AK-47 for LLENN which should reach her on the 25th along with a note:

Happy holidays. I was gunning for the real deal, but it wasn't as easy. Have fun. M. ]

At what point can a person play with a furball too much before it gets old? Right now I'm working on a real beaut and I'm thinking if I can roll this baby somewhere really treasure-worthy I'll have a winner... But I kinda wanna go out and hunt too. Choices, choices.

[Important choices and important thoughts brought to you by a wolfskin who should probably get better hobbies. And better taste.]

[What riveting and thought-provoking thoughts she's receiving right now. It's a voice she knows, but... well, she's not sure why Keaton intended this for her.]

One, ew. Gross. Secondly, I don't know what it's like playing with furball, and I don't ever want to, but I think I'd be bored within two minutes. Less even. I'd say hunting is much more fun?

[There. Her two cent.]

[Her two cents sucks? Okay one of her two cents sucks but you know he's going to go with it.]

Okay, ew, excuse me? You have no idea how top quality this furball is, clearly. Hang on a sec, I think I can fix that. [Oh look that sure is a picture of a ball of fluff covered in dust and leaves and who even knows what is tied up in there that he sends over.] So that's what I'm working with. And I'm comparing that to hunting. See what a tough call this is?

[VERY TOUGH IT'S TEARING HIM APART enough for him to want to share this dilemma with someone else, unintentionally or otherwise it seems.]

No please. I'm not intere-

[And he showed her an image of it anyways. Nice. That sure is a dirty ball of fluff covered with... stuff. She doesn't want to ask what those other things stuck to it.]

No? How are the two comparable?! [How is this a dilemma he's having???] One is much more fun and productive than the other, at least to me it is. You get to hunt monsters and hone your skills. If I were to make the call, I'd choose hunting no doubt. It's something I always do in my free time.

[Though it was normally virtual monsters, granted! But, she'd hunted some monsters here as well. She has credits.]

The furball still looks like crap though... Maybe it's because I'm not a wolf. [Oops, her inner Karen's thoughts are accidentally leaking, sounding completely different than dear young LLENN here. A voice clearly belongs to a young woman in their early 20s.]

Okay you can't give me a good opinion at all. Guess there really is no accounting for taste, especially when it comes to human taste some days.

[SIGH. He wants to explain all the goodness and good things that come from building up a furball, seeing it flourish, wanting the best for it-- But that clearly isn't going to happen.

There's a little mental grumbling for a moment or two before he decides to drop the furball idea altogether.]

Okay, you win. Let's go hunting together. [Yup.]

[Yeah. Her "good" taste won out, even though that... wasn't really intentional. But yeah.]

Huh?

[That caught her offguard. But she's quick to take the offer.]

Um, yeah, s-sure. What are we hunting? [She's going to bring her gun with her. It's the only reliable weapon she has.]

Well are you hungry? We could go after the wildlife, nab ourselves dinner. If not we should find something else.

[Hunting is a sacred kind of thing you see. Can't just go killing for fun, it has to be for a good reason.]

Like... I dunno, there's that board with stuff on that people want hunted yeah? We could go after one of those!

[She's already loading her gun.]

Well I haven't had lunch yet. But I never hunted a wildlife animal before... I guess we could go after the monsters on the taskboard instead!

[She'll use the reward money to buy herself lunch. Keaton can, like, munch on the monster's raw meat or whatever.]

[What the heck is a gun do you mean bow and arrow.]

Okay, that works. We go find ourselves a monster, do our thing and work up an appetite for lunch at the same time. Sounds good to me.

[He won't just eat some random monster come on! ... Nah okay he'll try anything once. So long as it has some good meat on it then that's fine.]

So I guess I'll meet you at that taskboard! Which is... Somewhere. Lots of people go. And very easy to find. [... Yup.]

[... Why'd he said it like that.]

Um... do you know where the taskboard is?

Edited 2019-03-21 18:07 (UTC)

Yeah? Of course I do, I've been there lots of times!

[There's a flash of uncertainty that spreads through the connection, like a bunch of question marks just suddenly start dancing in LLENN's mind. Ignore those.]

It's more like I'm wondering if you know how to get there! Maybe you should tell me the easiest way to it, just to show you've got this down. [Smooth.]

[Boy. Even without the uncertainty dancing in her head, she could still tell. Couldn't even be more obvious.

Fortunately for Keaton, LLENN is a nice little kid, so she'll answer, acting oblivious.]

Oh sure. You know the clock tower in the marketplace? The one with the tree twisted into it. It's hard to miss it. I always go there first and from there, I-.

[And here LLENN begins to give out helpful directions from the tree to the task board. Which shouldn't be a far walk away since those two are in the city's square, anyway. Good luck!]

[It was smooth and subtle and just let him have this okay.]

Yeah... Yeah I know that place! Okay so it's just from there, and then... Right, yeah!

[He'll give an occasional "mm" and "yuh-huh" as she goes through those directions to show he fully understands! 100%! And once she's done he sets off...

Does LLENN like waiting because hoo boy she might be waiting a good few minutes until Keaton eventually shows up to the board from a completely different direction than her instructions would have lead him in.]

I can smell Light and Dark, but I wonder why Arehtei aren't like that where other people can find each other easier without Representatives anymore.

[She doesn't recognize the voice. Nor does she understand what's being said there. So, all he'll get from the "tiny child" is a confused voice.]

Um... what?

[How does anyone smell... light and dark? So confusing.]

Oh! Uhm, hello.

[ He's embarrassed. ]

I guess the amulets are still sending out thoughts when I didn't want them to.

Oh. Well, don't worry about it. I think this is happening to everyone? You weren't the only one sending out accidental thoughts.

[She had certainly done so... And it was quite the embarrassing one, too.]

I think the amulets are broken...

Oh trust me, I know what a broken amulet feels like, and this isn't it. If it's happening to a lot of people, instead of a just-me thing, I think it's more like they're.... working extra hard, almost? Because I was only thinking something, not trying to talk to someone else.

[ He's trying to be reassuring? Kind of? ]

Can I at least ask your name?

Huh. Really. I don't really know much about how the amulets work at all, so I guess. [Regardless, this is pretty abnormal.] Oh, sure! I'm LLENN!

[And very much unintentionally:]

The cutest little munchkin you've ever met. Hehe~

It's nice to meet you. Or hear you, I guess. [This one is intentional.]

[ He smirks a little at her self-proclaimed title. ]

I'll take your word for it for now. You could show me with the amulet if you knew how to switch it to video. I'm Arden here.
