Chapter Two: Bigass Towers Equal Treasure
Journal: Day 2
Level: Still zero.
So after a rather fitful night of sleeping out under the stars (and avoiding irate Moglins), I decided to hit up that Guardian tower. After all, I am the Great Wandering Bandit Mercury, and all wandering bandits know that Really Bigass Towers equal Lots o' Loot!
All right. Sneaking past guards… not a problem. Since I remembered their names from the tour, I simply wrote a rather risqué note to Elsa, the female guard, signed it Jonathan, and dropped it casually in front of her when she wasn't looking. What happened next horrifically reminded me of my first day here in Battleon, except this time I got be Artix. And that guard is a lot scarier with her sword than Twilly was with that staff…
Of course, I got caught the instant I walked through the doors of the tower. Who the hell posts guards on the inside of the door when they're already outside?! Nimrod asked what I was doing there, and so I informed him that I was here to join up! The idiot actually fell for it too!
So now I get cool armor, cool weapons, and they even gave me a pet FireWere! I think I'll name him Snuffles. Or Chandler. Hm… wonder how much I can get for this armor?
End Notes: I made up the guard names.I tried, but I couldn't get any kind of name off them, so I just fudged it. If they do have names, tell me, and I'll change them. Chandler is the old fashioned title for a candle maker. I figure, candles, fire, Firewere… why not? Snuffles was my name for Ifrit in FFX, but I decided to be original and not copy off myself… again.
