[F03 - PP] Searching Squad <<Search for the Hoya>>

[Theo 0]

"How have I never been here before?!" Theo's vision of the floor was the first sense that came to him when entering this floor. Aryut's landscape stretched out beyond Theo and the archer couldn't help but smile as they took it all in. Their first instinct was to traverse the vines and branches of the floor but thought better of it when Theo remembered how terrible their hand-eye coordination truly was. Maybe later, when I've been here for more than like two minutes. Theodore quickly stepped off the main teleportation platform and began to explore this floor that they, surprisingly, had not been to before.

The player slowly approached a large entrance into the city proper, guarded by rabbit-individual with daggers and bows. Theodore waved to them happily, but they seemed to ignore him beyond giving a slight nod as they passed into the city itself. They're very good at their job. They smiled and entered Aryut proper!

Before Theo could begin taking in the sights, sounds, smells, and the most important TASTE, a strange individual caught their gaze. "I'll go chat with this person and then get a drink!" Their boots stepped across the cobblestone-dirt road as their figure approached this individual.

Larbrook, the individual in question, did not waste any time unloading their expositional information on to Theo. The archer was regaled with the tales of Hoya, a mythical hero known for slaying minotaurs in the area. Theo was very excited to meet a MYSTICAL HERO?! He already had 1,001 questions for this minotaur-slaying paragon, but this thought process quickly stopped when they learned that, in fact, some minotaurs were still in the area.

An <<ACCEPT QUEST <Y> <N> >> screen appeared before the boy. While he instinctually was going to put down <N> and be done with it, he paused. Could I... Help this hero?! Would I be helping a legendary hero on their journey?!?! I COULD MEET THEM?!

Theo quickly hit <Y>.

After accepting such a quest, another worry entered their body. "Who... Who is going to help me with this..." The level 1 player moved to the community bulletin board for any/all requests a player could have. Theo, having done this a plethora of times, quickly typed up a message to be posted on said board.

 

<<Hi All!

I'm trying to complete "Search for the Hoya" but I believe I'm a tad bit under-leveled for it. Anyone willing to help?

Thanks!

For the first time in a long time, Astra found himself with some free time to spare. Lately he'd been dividing his time between consistent training with his mentor, Wulfrin, or entertaining the children at the orphanage. Today however, his schedule was completely free - and for once he was pretty lost as to what he wanted to do. Eventually, after some time pacing around and eating the assorted food scattered around the house, Astra decided that he wanted to get out and be proactive. Pulling up his menu interface, he navigated his way to the community bulletin board. Most of the requests that he was sifting through seemed to be for those who were higher in level, or taking on more dangerous quests. However, after scrolling for some time, one quest began to stand out:

Search for the Hoya? Hm, haven't tried that yet. This works! 

Reinvigorated with a new sense of purpose, and excited to make his way back to Floor 3 and the settlement of Aryut, Astra donned his traveling attire and left Ciela's home, heading towards the nearest teleport gate. Astra found himself stepping off of the teleport gate, now in Aryut. It was a beautiful settlement, built within a dense and lush forest. Astra was also personally a fan of the inhabitants of this floor, the rabbit-eared Faune. He stopped for a moment to take in the natural beauty of the floor, while other players had made their way past him and deeper into the settlement. 

Astra had only been to Aryut a handful of times, so he was navigating his way through the buildings and greenery with his map. Making his way downtown, walking fast, Faune faces passed, and he's Hoya-bound. Eventually he came up upon the marked spot where the <<Searching for the Hoya>> quest could be accepted, and saw a player talking with an NPC who was built like a brick shithouse. Oh yeah, that has to be Larbrook. He's huge! Hoping not to startle the player, Astra approached with a soft smile and a light wave. 

"Excuse me, are you Theo? I saw your request on the bulletin board. I'd like to tag along and help you with the quest, if that's okay." Astra said with a nod. 

"My name's Astra, nice to meet you!"
