[PP|F18] Fishing with an old friend <<Just for the Halibut>>


Recommended Posts

Dustin had heard about a fish on one of the higher floors and decided to check it out. Maybe there would be cool loot, and maybe Dustin wouldn't have to fish it up because the idiot never got the fishing skill and it was biting him in the ass. It had been so long since the boy had been up this far he'd started to forget what it looked like. The town reminded him of an old fishing village his dad had brought him to a couple of times, and the murky waters reminded him of what his father made him do on that trip. Miss you pops, but I still think making me muck through a swamp because the fish had stolen your pole was pretty messed up. Dustin began walking towards the quest giver, before realizing that there was no way in hell a fish boss was gonna be so readily available up here, and he would probably need a pal to get this done.

So he opened his almost empty friends list.

That name, was that the man Dustin helped all that time ago? The images in his mind were blurry, but a tiger, fire and a good friend were the feelings the child felt in that moment. "Guess it wouldn't hurt to send him a message. Find out if he at least has the skill."

The familiar chime of a received message was met with a look of surprise upon opening it. Oscar hadn't seen Dustin in quite some time. So long, in fact, Oscar could scarcely remember the name of the quest he had met the boy on. Byakko? The memories came flooding back. Had Dustin not appeared when he did, Oscar would have been in for a long, dangerous, and probably lethal battle. I wonder how the kid's doing? With nothing else better to do and his curiosity piqued, Oscar beckoned for his familiar and headed into town. It was mere happenstance that Oscar had picked the Fishing skill up for a third time. Fortuitously, it would serve some purpose beyond materials.

Arriving in town and stepping onto the Teleportation Platform, it was a simple matter of gritting through the seizure-inducing graphics of the transport animation. The settlement of Eriwald stretched out before him. It was hot and humid with a fetid stench on the air. Much what he would expect from a swamp. Oscar stepped off of the platform and looked around, eyes darting to and fro behind his dark shades. It had been so long that he'd forgotten what Dustin looked like. Oscar himself looked quite different, so it wasn't that he would be extremely recognizable. His menu opened with a swipe of his right hand. He opened the messenger and quickly typed it up, all the while looking around the Plaza for the boy. Unable to find anyone that even remotely reminded him of the youth Oscar hit send and waited.
