“Earlier this morning, we received a complaint. An azumarill came by asking for your help, stating that his son had gone missing. We’ve also received a police report stating that several other children from Treasure Town have also disappeared without a trace.”
“The situation’s got us really perplexed cause we don’t even have a suspect yet. However, officer Epsilon believes that is has to e some form of psychic.”
“Then he suspected me, but I don’t even know HOW to hypnotize people!”
“Interesting. What would the reward for this job be?”
“No reward ya greedy bird brain. We’re doing this because this shit is scary.”
“Excuse me?!”
“Good! We’re counting on you!”
“But sir! You can’t possibly.. Ugh. Very well. Do as you wish. But all money you find within a dungeon during this task will go to the guild’s funding. Understand?”
[The duo of Wes and Cheren stepp off of the shore of Treasure Town. The cool sea breeze tickles Wes’ fur, though the chill causes Cheren to ruffle his feathers. The chatot hops off of the wigglytuff’s head, and flies ahead of him.]
“There’s no time to waste, guildmaster. We must check on the guild.”
[Wigglytuff nods and follows close behind his companion. The sound of the sand crunching under his every step made the wigglytuff feel strangely at ease. It had been years since he had gone down to the beach, let alone leave the guild. The festival was a fun distraction.]
[Treasure Town had become emptier. Not many exploration teams came by anymore. However, there was a heavier lack of jobs, as most went to other up incoming guilds to request for help. There were some altercations within the town, however, they were quickly and efficiently dealt with. Along with the lack of jobs, there also happened to be a lack of tourism.]
[Wes and Cheren made their way up the cliffside, passing by town without taking a glance towards it. With each step, with every flap of a wing, the guild grew closer in their sight. It had become a bit run down, with moss growing on the outside, and a bit of the ear off the Wigglytuff head-shaped guild had chipped and fallen off. The totems outside were also covered with moss. The two just didn’t see the need to tidy up anymore.]
[Soon, they would retire.]
[The grate system had been completely abandoned. Instead, you could just waltz inside, and that’s exactly what they did. The usual recruits who would guard the entrance had graduated, and it wasn’t like anyone was breaking in at some point.]
[Wes and Cheren descend the stairways, surprisingly well intact. At least, until they reach the bottom floor.]
“One, two, three!”
“Team Yggdrasil, reporting.”
[This is not a sight that they were expecting to see. They were expecting their last three recruits to be out on a mission, not back before dinner. This was... a warm sight.]
“Shinji. Yachiru. As Nodt. I hope we didn’t keep you waiting for too long.”
“You two have been gone for almost 5 months. What type of expedition was it that you two needed to take so long?”
“Quite a dangerous one!”
“Uh huh. A dangerous one that required glowsticks?”
[Shit. Cheren wished to chime in and scold Wes as to how they should’ve dumped them in the ocean, however..]
“Are you questioning my judgement?”
[Shinji and Yachiru shook their head. As Nodt could not, so solumley responded “No.”]
“Anyway, we have a welcome home gift for you, guildmaster. Take a look in your room.”
“Presents!”
“You went into the guildmaster’s quarters without permission?!”
[Cheren went on to scold the three after all, talking about how it was an invasion of privacy, and that those three couldn’t have been trusted not to take any of the things stored away, as for all they know there could have been treasure, or worse, payment for the guild. To this, all three rolled their eyes. Cheren however was quick to notice.]
“Did. You. Just.. How dare you! You three will-”
“HOLY SHIT!”
[Cheren was knocked out of his angry trance for a moment and saw that Wes had snuck off. He was surprised he didn’t notice before. Cheren made off towards the guildmaster’s quarters, Team Yggdrasil following close behind. The door was wide open to reveal... that the entire room had been filled to the brim with perfect apples.]
“Score!”
Team Yggdrasil’s Shinji Treecko, Yachiru Celebi, and As Nodt Dusclops are now available for asks.
Guildmaster Wes Wigglytuff and Cheren Chatot are available once again for asks.
