Kupo!

<DamienLunas> <Evening, good sir, can I offer you a drink? My name is Kupodo. I'm doing some traveling and as a member of the Tenshodo, I've decided to touch base here at the HQ and see what the word is. Might I have your name?>
<Morty_> <Of course. My name is Mortimer, and unfortunately at the moment I shouldn't take any drinks, but thank you for your kind offer. I'd love to chat with you, though. Could I exchange questions with you, maybe?>
<DamienLunas> <I suppose I understand. Well if you've got questions I'll still be happy to swap stories with my fellow bretheren. So then, where would you like to start?>
<Morty_> <Well, my companions and I are on a quest taking us to Ifrit's Cauldron, where the dragon Tiamat is at the moment... and currently we're looking for a guide to take us through a rumored passage to its inside through the old summoner's temple, preferably someone who would know the lay of it well.  Would you happen to know anyone like that, perhaps? Oh, and of course, your turn, then.>
<DamienLunas> <Well I'm not so much used to finding guides as I am guiding my own way. And guiding others as well isn't quite my cup of tea. I'm sort of a lone moogle in that sense. Not that I don't enjoy the company of others, but I think there's a certain romanticism to be had by going off into the unknown alone, you know? I wonder if I should check out that summoner's temple some time. I've heard of it before, b
<DamienLunas> ut I don't like the sound of those tonberries. I hear they're quite cruel and ill tempered you know. I've been mostly exploring the sea serpent's grotto. I even saw Charbydis. I saw there's a really powerful looking sword stuck in his hide, but I sure steered clear of him! His power was on the level of being impossible to gauge by just my own estimates.>.
<Morty_> <Yes, I know that feeling! Before I set out on this journey I traveled around with only my chocobo friend, wherever the wind would take us. There's definitely an awesome sense about just striding into the horizon... Your experiences sound enviable, I really wish we had time to explore the caverns ourselves. Charybdis sounds terribly powerful... thanks for the tip. You're making me feel
<Morty_> nostalgic for the road, now... the human kingdoms, the dwarven lands, the elven forests... though coming here has been its own adventure as well, in these wild and untamed lands...>
<DamienLunas> <I hear that!>
<DamienLunas> <What'd she say about my mother?>
<Morty_> <Please forgive her, she's only mimicking us because she finds our language cute. She doesn't know what she's actually saying.>
<Morty_> <I'll need to tell her to be a bit more careful in the future. I don't believe I caught your name, by the way?"
<Morty_> >
<Morty_> (Er wait)
<Morty_> (Nevermind)
<Morty_> (Morty did)
<Morty_> (Scratch out that last sentence)
<Morty_> <It was a pleasure, meeting you, Kupodo, I hope all of your travels are as exciting~ It was nice talking to you, but my friends are waiting for me.>
<DamienLunas> <So how else may I be of assistance to you? Have you any leads right now regarding your expedition to Ifrit's Cauldron? Perhaps we can put our noggins together and come up with something more. It all depends on what you need to know after all.>
<Morty_> <Hm...>
<Morty_> (Typing)
<Morty_> <Well to be frank, what we're actually looking for is a summoner to be our guide, though I didn't want to say as such in those words. I understand the large man over there is Yojimbo, an Aeon, which made me wonder if one could be nearby. Of course you already said you're not really in the business of finding guides... I just think finding such a person would be the best way to avoid the
<Morty_> aforementioned tonberries. Other than that... it's been a matter of trying to read between the lines.>
<DamienLunas> <Well I don't know much about guides but I have actually met a few summoners in my time! Mostly through my tenshodo connections. Some are nicer than others. There's a few vary camps after all. Some still cling to the worship of the aeons, others just want to keep their culture alive, and even some wish to use that forbidden magic for unsavory purposes.>
<DamienLunas> <In fact... there's one here in norg right now. You know that Male Mithra?>
<Morty_> <Really? Him?>
<DamienLunas> <Word on the street's is, he's a summoner.>
<DamienLunas> <One last thing before you go.>
<DamienLunas> <Have you or your friends ever met a Bangaa with two right hands and a scar shaped like a cross under his left eye?>
<Morty_> <I haven't, let me check.>
<Morty_> <Sorry, no.>
<DamienLunas> <Me neither. But man, that'd be so fucking cool if I did... anyway take care~.>
<Morty_> <Haha, you too. If we cross paths again and I can be of assistance, let me know.>
<DamienLunas> <Most certainly. Take care, and remember that the tenshodo will always have your back.>
