Basuke 0 Posted January 7, 2020 Author #21 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) One gentle touch on its lock, and it fell away, rust crumbling to nothing. He pushed the lid open, finding what appeared to the trained eye as average, run of the mill unidentified items. To Basuke, it must’ve been everything. Not even the musky scent of his findings could throw him off his high. 75col (which he would cherish), a handful of white orbs more (“Oh, sweet! More currency~”) and -- was that food mouldy? He hummed, picking up the indescribable objects and weighing them in his hands, before storing them where they belong -- in an unseen storage space. He’d have to check on those later. What mattered more, though, was as he was done packing the last of his findings, the worm creature wriggled its way back towards him, somehow smooth and soft and clean as ever. With wide, sparkling eyes, Basuke smiled, and scooped his new friend into his hands. “You really are something special! Really! What are you?!" "-- We have to take you back, right away!” Quote ID: 133868 | LD: 11 | Opening Treasure Chest + 75Col, T1 Materials (3), [T1E2] Unidentified Consumables (2) Edited January 7, 2020 by Basuke Link to post Share on other sites

It’s small, wormy, digs through the dirt, finds loot -- I-I’ve never seen anything like it…?” Basuke settled down on the armchair opposite the beast tamer once again, as the creature he’d picked up earlier wriggled happily on the lady’s lap. By her side, on the arm rest, was the bag of feed that he'd handed back to her. Her wolf friend came over and sniffed at the worm curiously, before patting it on the head with a large paw, giving a small whine and a chuff. “ScrEEee!!” The woman was preoccupied with a thick glossary in her hands, one with a dark-peach leather cover. She rummaged through the pages, scrunching her nose up, adjusting the set of black-framed glasses on her face. Finally, her flips came to a stop, as she carefully pointed at a section near the top of the page, mumbling. “Tsu--Tsuchinoko. ...It’s a Tsuchino--ko...” The three looked over at the newly-identified tsuchinoko that hopped and wobbled around excitedly, squirming and screeching. A chuckle from the woman as she reached out, stroking down its back. “What a lovely creature! I’m sure it’ll make a fine friend.” “But, like,” Basuke tilted his head, gasping for the words in his confusion, lost but impressed. “What is a Tsuchinoko? -- Is it a reptile?” “Honey,” the beastmaster looked at him gently, with a glint in her eye. “It’s a cryptid! Take good care of it, now.” - - - Thread Summary Quote [Total] + 2SP + 475col + T1 Material (6) + [T1E2] Unidentified Consumables (2) + Familiar (Tsuchinoko) Spoiler [Quest Rewards] + 1SP + Familiar (Tsuchinoko) [Thread Progression] + 1SP + 400col [Gathering Spoils] ID: 133847 | LD: 21 (14, +7) | Material Search | T1 Material (1) ID: 133848 | LD: 16 (9, +7) | Material Search | T1 Material (1) ID: 133866 | LD: 17 (10, +7) | Material Search | T1 Material (1) ID: 133868 | LD: 11 | Opening Treasure Chest | 75Col, T1 Materials (3), [T1E2] Unidentified Consumables (2) | >> Edited January 7, 2020 by Basuke Link to post Share on other sites
