RSY: I just wanna say sorry that this chapter took long to come out..if anyone cares
Chapter 3: Beware of the Tarutarus
So then Squal and I was fishing for awhile and catching...nothing at all..and it was quiet..too quiet for my taste then again I AM city girl from the most biggest loudest and most stuffed up place in the world, that's right I'm talking about Jeuno.
"Where's the fish!" Squal cried, breaking the silence, I gotta thank him for that
"Patience my friend, that is the key to fis-" I said but I got interrupted by me catching a fish, it's really putting up a fight the chance of it being anything below huge is a zip to zero..so I finally got the fish calm now all I have to do is reel it up and...
"Hey! This is a rip-off!" I yelled watching what supposed to be my fish, in reality it's a
ripped up sailor's cap it looks horrible so I doubt I could sell it..
"Hey you..with the hat!" A little Hume boy yelled and I guess it's directed at me..I think
"Who wants to know!" Squal yelled back..and really that makes no sense
"Yeah, what about it!" I yelled to the kid, 'cause well..I feel kinda left out..
"Lemme see it!" The kid yelled back and so I came closer 'cause this looks like a chance to sell this piece of junk
"That's my Father's hat give it back, give it back!" The bratty Hume boy demanded
"Ok..whatever.." I said flatly while giving him the cap
"Oh no! The hat ruined now I'll be in big trouble!" The kid said while giving me back the hat, as if I want that ratty old thing
"Wait..your Dad is a sailor, right?" I asked him in a soft tone that even caught me off guard
"Wow really? I'm not too sure about that. I mean he owns a sailor's cap but what are the chances of him really being an actual sailor!" The bratty Hume child said...in a sarcastic tone that makes me wanna really use fire on him or maybe bio.
"Then chances are, he got killed by pirates and if he did there's no way you'll get in trouble 'cause he'll be dead anyways I'll be keeping my fingers crossed hope you will too" I said while showing my fingers crossed, but then for some reason the kid starts to cry and as my sister always used to say when a child cries that's a good sign to run if you had anything to do with it and so..I will
"Let's go Squal, I think Windurst had enough of us!" I said while running to the exit..or entrance to Windurst
"Agreed!" Squal said while running with me
We're actually gonna make it! I can see the entrance..um..I mean exit finally! You see..when I go to places and stuff I usually get in big trouble I mean HUGE what happened here so far was nothing compared to the stuff I usually get myself into, one time I ended up in a San d'orian jail I must admit it was scary and I thought I'd die in there but really all this is besides the point, the point is that I'm gonna make it after all!
So now I'm going into the exit and I'm going..in? Why am I back in Windurst? Oh no! I know this magic..they got us right where they want.
"What's going on!" The always confused Squal asked
"Warp...the Tarutarus used a special kind of warp it takes lots of magic and lots of tries but it really works I'm guessing they placed it directly on the exit right on the spot where we would claim our victory and it would-" I said but Squal interrupts me by saying
"Send us back here.." I guess this is a big step up for Squal..if it wasn't so obvious what I was gonna say
"Smart guess, stupid ones!" A voice from below said and of course it must be a Tarutaru
"How can we make a smart guess if we're stupid?" Squal asked and I must admit he got a point
"Because!" Screamed the frustrated Tarutaru
"What did we do?" I said calmly trying to avoid the because, because why fight..really I had enough of that when I was ten
"Oh..nothing big, you just stole from Windurst..the best nation ever!" That Tarutaru guy said while doing the angry version of the Tarutaru dance
"Eh?" said the confused Squal
"Oh..I get it now the restaurant thing.." I said, remembering what happened earlier
"Yes and don't act like its your first time stealing from us!" The angry Tarutaru said while pointing at me like I did something..oh yeah..never mind
"Okay, here's 56 gil that's how much I owe you" Squal said
"Nope! That's before you stole from Windurst and if you steal from Windurst, Windurst might as well steal from you!" Said the strange and angry Taru to the eternally confused Galk
"So what do we have to pay now?" I asked, just wanting to run out
"Big boy here has to pay 1567 but you..I'm actually kinda sorry for you, you have to pay 10,000 wait..never mind I don't feel sorry for you, HA!"
"I only have 567 gil.." Squal said sadly
"That will do, this way the work you'll have to do to pay it off won't be so hard and long and have a huge chance of death" Said the potentially crazy Tarutaru
"What will you do if I don't pay?" I asked 'cause I do not wanna throw away my gil I'll push Squal off a bridge before I do that!
"If you do not pay I'll turn you into a slug and sell you to Bastok, slugs are considered a delicacy in Bastok you know.." The Tarutaru said with an evil grin, right now I do not want to be a part of a meal so..I'm gonna do something which I'm sure I'll regret
"I got 9000 gil..here you go" I sadly said as I reluctantly gave him my gil
"Great! Now the both of you will have to do only 5 tasks they will only be semi hard but really strange and remember you only have a week" The Tarutaru said with a happy giggle which really doesn't suit him in my opinion
"So what's our first task?" Squal asked full of excitement for some reason
"First thing you gotta do is get 100 Yagudo beads and feathers and I shall go with you, just to make sure you don't try anything you might regret." Said the once angry now happy Tarutaru
And so he's chanting a spell but I'm too blinded by my hate for him to care, he made me give up my gil and right now it's dancing in his item bag okay..all I gotta do is not think about it, its ok..no its not..
"Okay! The seal is now broken!" Said the once angry once happy now giddy Tarutaru
"Okay so, now that we're outside I think Squal and I should split up, that way we'll get it faster" I said, hoping that the Tarutaru guy would go with Squal and I can make a run for it
"Okay! But that means I can call for help" The giddy Tarutaru guy said before he blew his whistle and when he did that this Tarutaru lady came out from Windurst I could describe her but we all know that she isn't that important.
"What are my orders, sir!" Said the Tarutaru woman
"Him" The Tarutaru guy said while pointing to Squal "Watch him, make sure he doesn't try any funny wunny business!"
"Yes, sir!" said the Tarutaru woman
"Well..see ya when I hit 200 Squal" I said while I walk away
Now I went to my little not so secret anymore spot this is a little hidden Yagudo village where they mean you no harm unless you wish it on them, then they'll go crazy on you.
"Hey you merchant!" I said while pointing to a Yagudo shop owner
"What is it?" Said the shop owner, sounding a bit mad
"I need some Yag feathers, got any of it?" I asked
"Only the feathers you see on me" The shop owner responded
"Oh..then, I guess I'll to take it!" I said and as soon as said that a fireball came charging at it, it's a little trick my sister taught me, make them watch the mouth when they gotta watch the hands, well time to get to pulling
"Let's see.." I said as took a feather from it "I'm guessing this is a good hundred"
"I guess it is, now its time to get the beads!" Cheered the potentially crazy once frustrated once happy now giddy always strange Tarutaru
"Since Yagudos won't give their beads just like that I'll have to fight them and its best that I don't fight the Yags in this village I already made a big risk attacking one" I said while leaving the village
"Okay!" said the Tarutaru as he followed me out
So now I'm looking at land that stretches far off into the distance with beautiful soft green grass um..if I was a goat I'd eat it..all of it, really I'm trying to be descriptive but the only thing that really has my eye right are all those Yags..I must get those beads! And I can do it all in one, that's right one easy move with this little potion I made, any and all spell moves can and will be used on multiple foes and friends so..I wouldn't really advise this..ever
Well the recipe for potential disaster today I'll need one gulp of my potion a black magic spell, in this case thunder and now mix it all up..and ta-da cooked Yags now here comes the tricky part
"Owie Wowie.." said the potentially crazy once frustrated once happy once giddy now shocked always strange Tarutaru
But I didn't pay any mind to that 'cause I gotta hurry up and get 100 beads...damn it! I only can find 50
"Sorry, but you gotta go back inside come sunset which is now..maybe you can find 50 Yagudo beads while we go back..future slug" said the Tarutaru
So now we're almost to town and I see Squal dancing all happy and that Tarutaru woman with the look of pure horror on her face
"Hey there Squal, how did it go?" I asked at the sight of my friend
"It was great, I striped naked and I told everyone who passed that I would dance for Yagudo beads and feathers a whole lot of people ran by, screamed and didn't even pay attention to me then a group of Mithras passed then they ran off and when they came back they brought 150 beads and 100 feathers then they screamed at me to put it on, yup..the ladies love me" Squal said still while doing a very strange dance but he's not naked so I'm thankful
"Hey! Did you say 150 beads?" I asked
"Yup, they loved me that much" Squal answered
"So..can ya give me 50 of your beads?" I asked, not paying attention to his false comments
"Okay here you go!" Squal said while giving me 50 beads
"Okay that's enough of this" Said the now recovered Tarutaru woman
"Fine whatever" I said flatly "I'm one step back from being a slug and that's all I care about" I continued with a bit more life
"Same here!" Squal said in a perky way
"Do not think that all is well If you think you its all ok now, kiss my Taru ass and go to hell! Said the very angry Tarutaru woman but I guess after seeing a naked Galka one may experience many feelings rushing to their head at the same time I know how she feels..so I'll excuse her disrespect..for now
And so the she used warp on us but like I said before they are way more powerful and skilled in magic so we could end up anywhere and now where're at a small cozy looking cottage and I must admit I'm feeling a bit confused
"You go in here" She said right before using a magical spell to push us through the open door and as we made it through the door behind slammed shut
"..Hello there.." Said this Mithra who is just standing there is has short dark brown hair a black scarf on her head black eyes and she has the legendary fishing gear..okay its not really legendary but its so damn expensive but what really caught my eye was that diamond necklace now I know she's not poor..but I am..so I think she should share her wealth or I should borrow it without asking and no intention to return it
"Hiya"Said Squal flatly
"Yo" I said with a bit more life than Squal but not enough to call it perky
"Hmm.." She said while stared at both of us for awhile
"Yeah?" Squal said snapping her out of her trance
"Oh..nothing" she said while she laughed innocently "Anyway follow me.." She said wile walking away and of course we had no choice so we followed her and of course that is after I tried to open the door
After we went downstairs which is not anywhere as nice as the first floor that girl stopped and said
"This room here is yours evil red-headed girl" She said while pointing to a rusty old door "And this room here is yours evil green lion" She said while pointing to another old rusty door" and after that she just stood there..waiting for us to go in so..we went in.
This room really isn't much, but its actually better than most of the inns I go to it has a bed that looks like it wouldn't fall apart any minute now but as nice as this place is..I gotta go, and I'll guess I'll try to take Squal with me.
Maybe water would be a good spell hmm..nah fire yeah fire on will do just fine, okay ready..aim..fire! Wait..my magic..damn it this is a anti magic room..oh well nothing to do but try to get a good night's rest
