PT-SP-F01 <<Earning a Living: Forager>> Foraging Foibles

[Mari 1]

post action: Talk to Giovanna and get the <<Cursed Compass>>

A new update - Cardinal must be desperate, or perhaps it was the players that were and out of that desperation the systems and AIs that represented their digital prison in turn gave each player the option to take on all the professions, all the gathering, in its entirety. Mari wasn't crazy enough to take on everything. Who in their right mind would be? That kind of person must have very little free time, or perhaps they were just that kind of dedicated gamer - the ones who did all the quests, and all the achievements. 

Mari was really only here because she figured she may as well work toward getting both Demonic Shards and Glistening Scales; things that most tended to not worry about, at least in her little experience of returning after imprisonment. So, here she was - talking to a kindly woman who smelt of loamy earth and rosemary. This one wasn't as annoying as the fishing guy at least - god they programmed him to be so full of himself.

"Aight." Mari said as she waved the compass in the air. "I'll be back soon"

POST ACTION: Forage for Demonic Shard

It was still early, almost too early for Mari to be up and about. She covered her mouth as she yawned. The kind of yawn that was so wide and so big that it bought tears to your eyes. Maybe she should get some sort of decent coffee recipe from Freyd...Mari wasn't a fan of the bitter drink, but maybe there was a way to get a balance between too bitter and too sweet. Or maybe she could figure out how to get pure caffeine directly into her blood stream.

"It's too damn early..." She muttered.

But early was good. Barely anyone was around. It was the perfect time for Mari to trawl the lower floors without making too much of a scene. Lately that had been happening a lot lately. Or maybe trouble came to her, just as much as she seemed to find it. Not that Mari suspected anything to happen on floors this low. At most a rogue player would be scared; or get a group together. Nothing that can cause any actual harm.

 

Mari found a small patch of Mushrooms close by. It looked like someone had rolled around in half of them. "Right..." Mari knelt down and began to look. Initially, she was unsuccessful - but Mari had done this thousands of times before - So she started to pull part the squished mushrooms, finally - beneath all of them - she found it. A small glimmering black crystal.

"Easy." This was so much easier than the fishing ordeal. Quite a relief really... Mari grabbed it. Now she just had to hand it over to whatsherface. Done deal.

Why couldn't the fishing one be this nice? This was a thousand times better than dealing with the fishing quest. Although...if Mari were to be honest - she'd much rather sit by a lake or body of water with a fishing rod in hand then be on her hands and knees trawling through dirt. 

On your hands and knees...

Mari snorted at her own mind, and where it went. There'd be plenty of time for that sort of thing later. Funny that. The woman had gone nigh on 10 years without any sort of attention in such a way and in the span of a month had not only found a FwB in Oscar, but an actual romantic partner in Lancaster. Funny how the world worked sometimes. The trip from the mushroom patch to the caravan was quite short. Mari barely had time to let her thoughts wander to anything else as she arrived. 

"Yo -" Mari paused. Crap...what was her name again. "..You..." She finished.  Yeh, that'd suffice, not that she cared what the NPC thought. "Here." Mari placed the compass back in the womans hands.
 

"So you've found a Demonic Shard! You continue to impress me. I'll confess, you've learned all that I could teach you through this single quest. Trial by fire has always been my preferred style."

 Trial by fire, huh? Another amused laugh as Mari waved off the NPC, she had more to say but Mari was no longer paying attention. With the small <<Quest Complete>> Notification popping up, the woman had no reason to sit and listen to what would essentially be the NPC telling her to keep the item and go forth, adventure, blah blah blah.

Well. Now she had an entire day to kill.
