So I was running through more Postmoogle stuff last night with D’riz and I get to the one where this guy’s trying to catch an ultra rare fish in order to sell it to a collector to like, rebuild his trading business after the Calamity destroyed it, right? Well, turns out you sorta have to fish for this quest. Granted, it’s like early level fishing stuff and all, no big deal, right? Except I still haven’t bothered to pick up fishing yet. I grabbed it, started the first quest for it and immediately dropped it, never to speak of it again. So you can imagine my embarrassment when I have to explain to D’riz that I can’t fish, not because I don’t have my rod or bait on me, but because it’s something I never learned how to do. D’riz, it should be noted, is like well on his way to becoming the master of all jobs. >_>; And being the ultra helpful guy he is, he’s sitting there offering to make me a rod or fetch me some bait so I can do the quest. XD
I’m sheepishly like “Uh...no I mean, I literally can’t fish. I don’t know how. I never picked it up.” Which is really amusing, given Bee’s background growing up in a fishing village and the fact her dad’s a pretty good fishercatte himself. You’d think she’d have at least learned a bit of it, right? But! Instead of letting me just go buy an anchovy from the market, D’riz switches to FSH and grabs me one in the time it took me to politely decline and reassure him that I could just go get one from the market, that it wasn’t a big deal. (All the while standing on the poor guild master’s head, mind you) XD
So the day was saved! A potato learned a lesson, I got some shiny, sparkly gold fishing pants (no seriously, the star-spangled subligar is hilarious) and we got a new bit of headcanon for our dear Bee. :3
