[Closed] Great Geezard Grumble

[modelcivilian]

Who: Adrien Agreste and Nanamo Ul Namo
When: June 10th
Where: Pupuland
What: Quest! - The Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven! The PuPus of PuPuland require assistance. It seems that there are swarms of Geezards roaming the land for their annual migration yes yes. But this time they're taking a detour through PuPuland no no. Please slay 10 of them and bring back 10 Geezard livers so that we can cook them into a fine stew yes yes!
Warnings/Notes: Well, there's a fight involved and gathering Geezard livers. Other than that, nothing.

Seemed like the Quest came just in time. Considering the Gauntlet was just a few days away now, he wondered if the timing could be considered fortunate or unfortunate. He guessed it was a matter of perspective, but overall, it was just an unfortunate situation for the PuPus. What could've even caused the Gizzards to detour through PuPuland in the first place?

Maybe they'd find out as they rounded up and gathered some livers. First... well, they had to get there.

"So, what exactly is Pupuland like?"

"Good idea. Let us ask around." Said Nanamo with a nod. She looked over and pointed at the quest board where a few PuPus were standing around. "Let's try them."

Trotting over, she asked, "Good PuPus, can we ask you a question?"

[modelcivilian]

Turning when Nanamo points, Adrien followed her over to speak to them. The PuPus seemed calmer now, but were still skittish at their approach. Were they scared of them despite getting rid of the Geezards?

[nanaimo_bar]

The PuPus looked amongst themselves, as Nanamo asked, "Is that all you need us to do? The Geezards have been routed, is 10 all you need?"

The PuPus nodded, looking between the pair and seemingly they wanted to ask if they had made certain the Geezards were gone.

[modelcivilian]

"... Were there any more areas that the Geezards were gathering besides here?"

Because they were still staring at them...

[nanaimo_bar]

Slowly, the PuPus shook their heads as Nanamo let out a deep sigh. "It appears they are short on words, but it seems our task is done. Shall we go turn in our delivery?"

[modelcivilian]

"... I guess. I still feel like this quest isn't complete though." But maybe that was just him? He probably does seem too wary... the geezards weren't difficult to defeat so maybe that was all throwing him off.

[nanaimo_bar]

"To be honest, it feels very anticlimactic." agreed Nanamo. "But if ten is all they need, going out of our way to exterminate an entire migration might be a little too impactful of us."

[modelcivilian]

"... Yeah, that's true." And they were just fairly non-threatening. Wiping them out would not be right. "Alright, let's deliver the livers."

[nanaimo_bar]

"Yes. We should then collect our reward. I have been thinking maybe we should pick up something at the PuPu bakery for our respective homes. There are some very delicious looking desserts there." said Nanamo, a spring coming to her step.

[modelcivilian]

"A PuPu bakery? Sure! I know Hunk would like to try something new!" At least, he doesn't think Hunk's been to a PuPu bakery yet... but he probably had.

[nanaimo_bar]

"Ah you're rooming with Hunk? He's a good man," said Nanamo with a grin. "Let us be off then, I know the bakery is on main."

[modelcivilian]

"He is. Him and Shiro." It's really great to room with both of them. "Okay..."

Though, as they proceeded, he grimaced slightly. "I hope they have a sink there. I really need to watch my hands."

[nanaimo_bar]

"The same," said Nanamo as they reached the bakery, and inside was a warm, welcoming smell. "I have heard they use root vegetables as their water base."

Pushing inside, she gestured towards the side where two bathrooms doors were. "I will wash up and join with you anon, and then we will order."

[modelcivilian]

"Oh really?" He wasn't a chef himself so he wasn't certain the difference, but it had to alter the taste, right?

Inside, he was relieved to see the bathrooms right there. "Alright. See you in a bit."

He really just had to wash his hands off. Livers were not fun to carve out.

[nanaimo_bar]

It did, giving a more naturally sweet textures to their breads and cakes.

Once Nanamo had washed up, she came out and started looking over the pastries. "Donuts, cakes, cookies... my goodness made with carrot puree? What else could they accomplish?"

[modelcivilian]

Hands all clean, Adrien returned out to the main store front and walked over to Nanamo.

"Huh, they have some tarts here too." There was a lot to decide from.

[nanaimo_bar]

"Yes, and interesting desserts. What is a crueler for example? It looks like those things they call donuts. But it's bumpy." said Nanamo, looking through the glass.

[modelcivilian]

"Crullers? They're a kind of donut." Okay, he might know that much. They just looked like something he could get back home when he could have something sweet.

[nanaimo_bar]

"Hmm, they might not hold for the trip back. The sugar would melt." said Nanamo.

"Adrien, do you have a suggestion on what we could bring back? Something that may hold it's shape without becoming soggy from drizzling."

[modelcivilian]

"Hm..." That was hard to say. A lot of pastries weren't good for long distances. Though...

"... A cake or a pie might make the travel back."

[nanaimo_bar]

Hmm... she looked over at the cakes and pies assembled and nodded. "Then I will get this fairie apple pie then to share with the rest."

[modelcivilian]

"That sounds good. Maybe I'll get one too."

They had so many cakes as it was right now.

[nanaimo_bar]

Nanamo smiled as she reached into her pouch and paid for her pie. As they were boxing it up, she checked her timepiece. "If we hurry, we can make it to the airship for a quick flight back."

[modelcivilian]

"Right. One pie for me too, please."

So while they box up Nanamo's, they get his ready as well. One box and a monetary transaction later, Adrien's got his pie too.

[nanaimo_bar]

"Thank you," said Nanamo before turning to Adrien. "Let us be off. We should hurry to the airship terminal. Our moogles must be waiting for us by now."
