1st fight | Audio | Highcrest -> Whitewood

[anyposition]

--ast it, what's the command to start? I said start already so--oh. Right.

*Why is this text to audio? Because he activated a extra accessory in his tech scroll? Because his device is smart enough to realize it's dealing with an idiot? Who can tell?*

Bet a lotta ya ain't up to hearing a sob story or a question about seein friends, huh? Gleamed a bit of this network stuff--pretty weird. Last I saw, computers couldn't do nothing but make flag waving images. Anyway, I think I got something most of you want:

A clue.

So none o'these native folks are especially talkative about this place, right? Well in my exploring, I ran across some weirdoes of varying sizes in some trees. Looked like fairies, so I guess they're fairies. That's not important.

The fact they're hostile? Totally important. Only people with somethin' to hide get that angry about an innocent guy mindin' their own business. But, see, there just so happens to be a lot of the big and lil buggers. So whaddaya say? Help a guy form an interrogation party to uncover what they know so we can blow this popsicle stand.

Stop. Tch, that'll learn those lousy brats--dousin a guy in honey and beez while he's sleepin--

*And the feed ends.*

Woah, you're talking crazy talk there.

[anyposition]

Crazy like a fox, maybe.

*HEY I'M GRUMP.*

What's so crazy 'bout it?

[taser_handy]

First off, we hardly know anything about these people outside the fact that they have kidnapped us. And you're wanting to barrel into one of those districts and start fighting them without any intel. Plus this is public, so anyone, including the fairies can see this.

So yeah, you're talking crazy. You gotta calm down and think about all this with a cool head man.

[anyposition]

*Person uses Logic & Reason!*

Hey I'm perfectly calm and am making a cool, even judgment to nail those jerks on their own turf instead o'what they did when they ambushed me. That's plenty logical.

*It's not very effective....*

[taser_handy]

It sounds to me like you just got your ego bruised and now you just want to rally people to help you kick the beehive, so a bunch more people can get stung too.

*G-giku*

Revolutions can't be made with carefulness and overly-cautious actions!

An I'd use smoke so they can't counter with bees. See? Smart.*

[taser_handy]

You seriously did not say that. Revolutions? You're a guy with a grudge, not some revolutionary.

For the record, I'm not against taking action. I'm against taking action sans an actual plan.

[anyposition]

What else am I gonna call it? "Cute vacation brought to you by a whacked out queen and her citizens?" I don't plan on stayin' here.

So fine. Let's here how YOU'RE gonna get this info outta them. *HEY I'M GRUMP.*

[taser_handy]

Okay first off, nobody plans on staying here. Second off, I don't have plans to talk to the fairies because I've opted to talk to the natives that are more willingly to talk first. Y'know, like the people in Orlea.

[anyposition]

Aw c'mon, lady, you tellin me you expect good answers out of these locals? I mean, granted, nice enough to give a guy a meal and a...cottage more or less dug outta sod and enforced with wood, but still! That sounds like avoidin' the issue t'me.

*Mixed signals what are those.*

An actually some whacky philosophy guy said he's already talked to people who're putting up a summer home or somethin'. S'why I asked about this instead of just doing it myself. It's totally a lead!

*...to disaster.*

[taser_handy]

Avoiding what issue? Talking to the locals who are willing to talk first, is a good way to find out why some of the other locals are such assholes. It's better then trying to incite a riot that could get people hurt or killed even.
