The newcomer whirled around, striking all the targets in a single Whirlwind. Then, he flipped backwards and sent an Air Render into another row of targets, blowing the straw dummies apart. To top everything off, he executed multiple attacks in the air, which ripped the remainder of targets to shreds, and landed on his toes like a dancer.

And he had done all that in less than ten seconds.

"Well?"

Gukko gaped at the White Monk. "Th-That was amazing!" He grabbed the White Monk's knuckled hands. "You're in! But... What's your name?"

"Sssilverlock. Everyone calls me Sssilverlock."

"Everyone, meet Silverlock. He's our newest member," Gukko annouced.

The White Monk half-bowed and winked coyly at the twins. "Nice to meet you all."

"Well, just sit here while Gukko goes get the missions," Raven said. "Anymore beer anyone?"

Silverlock glanced around the table. Yes, these were good creatures and all, but it was the viera twins that caught his eye. He grimanced to himself. Geez, wasn't he supposed to be an abstinent bangaa? His teachers always warned him against looking in a lewd manner at anyone, especially a viera. But deep inside his head, he liked to rate the women and viera that passed by his house, judging by their face and figure...

"You can sit here, if you want," one of the twins offered. They both winked coyly.

"Thankss." He slid out the chair and slid in. "Sso... You're twinss?"

They both giggled. "Yep!"

"I bet it'ss fun. I'm an only child, ssso I wouldn't know." He took a long swig of the beer, aware of the piercing eyes of the twins on either side of him. Oh, he knew all too well that they were flirting with him.

"Oh, it's fun," one of the viera twins said. They were identical, and on his little perverted rating scale, they would recieve... Probably a nine out of ten.

"What are your namesss, ladiesss?"

"I'm Celia," the Archer said. "Ni-"

"I'm Reddy," the Fencer interuppted. "Niceto meet you." They both leaned on both sides of his shoulders.

Gukko looked at the missions. "Hey?"

"Hmm?" the Pubmaster asked. "Found any?"

"Yes, this one..." Gukko motioned to one mentioning chocobos. But one caught his eye...

Serious Search

My daughter met a man one day in town. She won't shut up about him, and she doesn't even know his name! But that's not the last part.Now he's vanished.

I'm searching for:

The Fighter and the Paladin who slayed the Languas. About in the mid teens. I believe that they can be helpful in locating them, since they were in town when my daughter says she saw him.

My daughter is the famed Callypso.And now that she finally found someone she likes, I don't want her to be discouraged.

Mystrinia, Assassin mother

Gukko blanched.

"Yep, finally the beauty of the world finds someone, and then he disappears. Yep, don't even try go after her, as pretty as she is," the Pubmaster commented.

"I'll take that mission."

Celia and Reddy tried to pull each other aside at the same time.

"I think I'm in love," they both said at the same time and scowled at each other.

000000000000000000000000000000000

"Hey, Gukko?" Celia and Reddy swooped down on either side of him. "You normally make opposite genders sleep apart?"

Gukko scowled. "If you have a stable, ongoing relation with someone, you can sleep together, as long as you can find Drop Herbs," he replied drunkadly.

"Well, can you make an exception with Silverlock, me and Celia?" Reddy asked. She had pried their Clan Leader with achohal on purpose.

"Sure..."

"Thanks!" They both winked and rushed off.

"Sure, as long as when you duel tomorrow, you don't use Gunmanship, and Rosetta's on hand, 'cause I really don't want tocall the chocobos..."
