Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special

[hatejakku]

Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post


Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~

The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

"That's rough... These crystals are already causing a lot of trouble, huh."

Hmm. This is the closest they've gotten to finding one of the crystals. That, and Uendo feels pretty bad for Domon. Is there any way they could all get what they want?

> Ask to buy one of the crystals

"Say, would you be willing to let us buy one of your crystals? Maybe you could use the money to replace the part you lost before the folks at the stadium find out."

[pishirogane]

"Accidents happen. Still, we don't want Ka'Pandol flooded again."

These crystals were making people quite irresponsible, and what was the point of them? They came through the Dram Width at least, right? With a sigh, she just considered the fact they were going to go deal with the stadium issue shortly... though, if this part was already collected, would another be available?

... Would she have to craft a new part? Looking over at Uendo, right, they could purchase a crystal from them.

“They aren’t for sale,” Joan speaks up. “They’re for something important. We’re trying to cheer up a friend.”

“Yeah, he wanted to come but he had to work today,” Domon says, looking sad about it. “We wanted to find as many as we could and bring them back to him. Poor guy’s probably miserable.”

“You know,” Joan sighs, addressing Domon, “he probably doesn’t care about the crystals. He just doesn’t want to be cooped up while we’re out here allegedly having fun without him.”

“Maybe,” he kind of agrees, grimacing. “Either way, I want to stay here until they let us back into the temple.”

"I see... Fair enough." Uendo doesn't press further. No point haggling when there's sentimental value involved. "Well, I hope you won't get in too much trouble over this. If we come across anyone who might have any spare parts to spare, you guys will be the first to know."

He turns to Naoto. "Well then, shall we head back to the shop?"

[pishirogane]

"Try not to get into anymore trouble." Especially with how they were acting at the Temple. Maybe she should call Leviathan; she would know what's going on inside her own place.

Looking back at Uendo, she nods. "Yes. Let's get this over with."

You enter the Hypello Shop to find the small space occupied by three, blue, bug-eyed Hypellos. One is behind the counter while the two others are in the store itself. They all seem to be waving their arms in the air and swaying back and forth.

Probably has something to do with the water. In this part of town, it’s started coming up to your knees! Yet, this shop was oddly still open. The Hypellos seems to be in a panic, though!

The one behind the counter notices you. “Oh, a cushtumer! Look sharp, ebullibody!” His arms flap down to his sides and he looks at you with a slight head tilt. “Yesh? What can I do for you?”

> Ask what he has in stock
> Ask why they’re open
> Ask if they need help
> Leave shop

Wow, Pharce wasn't kidding about the flooding. It's kind of surprising the shop is still open at all.

> Ask if they need help

"Yes, hello! We heard from Pharce that you're in a spot of bother. A broken pump, wasn't it?" He gestures to Naoto. "The good detective here is quite the technical wizard. Perhaps she'd be able to help you?"

[pishirogane]

Checking over her slate, Naoto made sure to be switched from Gunslinger to Magitek Knight before nodding to the Hypello.

"Yes. If your pump is causing issue, I can have it fixed momentarily."
