Chapter One: Moglins Taste Like Chicken
Journal: Day 1
Level: 0
And so, the Great Wandering Bandit Mercury – Fastest Fingers in Dorville – has now come to Battleon. Of course, I neglect to mention that the population of that town was one, when I lived there, so…
Who cares. Time to go pick-pocketing!
All right. So first I get into town and get greeted by this hottie Artix with his little Moglin sidekick Twilly. He gave me a quick tour and introduction to people, then asked if I had any questions. So I asked if Moglins tasted like chicken, like everyone says back home (see note above)…
Note to self: never piss off Moglins. Being chased by furry midgets with staves not on my list of fun things to do. Artix seemed to have a good time, though. I suppose I would too if I had been laughing my ass off.
End Notes: Yes, Dorville is made up, and is nowhere in the game. This "journal" is really just my way of venting / musing about the things I find funny in this game. Amazing how many of my stories are spawned that way. Mercury is my character. One thing I'll note, without mentioning it in the "journal" is that half the character faces you get to choose from seem to be inspired by Naruto. There is a definite Sasuke head, one that kinda reminds me of Ino, a Tenten head, and others I'm too lazy to remember.
About Mercury: You can follow the link from my profile or website to my character page to see what she looks like. If you don't want to bother, she's basically a purple-haired Tenten, Rogue class originally. In this story, I figure she's around 15 years old – the typical age of rouge-ish adventurers in RPGs (I'm thinking like Meru in LoD or Rikku in FFX).
