SIDE QUEST: Gotta Have a Rat Extermination.

[1_eyed_dadass]

*He needed something to take his mind off things, so he'd started poking around on this weird book thingy finally. He's still not entirely sure how the thing works, but he's somehow managed to stumble his way into what looks like some sort of place where people put up work, like some sort of message board. A few of the jobs looked very much in his usual purview.

Though he can't help but feel this work feels kind of low level, for some reason.

Either way, he's on his way over to the Docks to help some guys get some rats out of their warehouse. You might not know where he's going, but he sure is taking a lot of heavy weaponry with him whereever it is.*

[[Allura takes note of all that heavy weaponry (Which, what sort are we talking here). But a man of that build is clearly some sort of warrior. At least it's a build she's more familiar with.

Therefore, she will approach, curiously.]] What battle would you need all of that for?

[1_eyed_dadass]

*A spear here, a two-handed sword there. Nier's not really a sophisticated sorta guy.*

Rats. Lotta rats.

[numberofthefiend100]

Do you... honestly need all that for some rats?

Would not a torch suffice?

[1_eyed_dadass]

Wouldn't wanna go swinging a torch too much in a warehouse. Don't know what you might set on fire. Anyway, these are what I'm trained in anyway. Probably will just use the one-hander though.

[numberofthefiend100]

Would... you like some help? [[She's pretty damn sure those powers of hers will probably come in handy... Especially for rats.

Even huge rats if that's the case at hand!]] I won't be a burden...

[1_eyed_dadass]

*He shrugs.*

If you feel like you can handle yourself, feel free. Kinda got used to this sort of work, so it's more something to do than a money maker honestly.

[numberofthefiend100]

I... I can. You said they're only rats, correct.

I have... nothing more to do in this strange world...

[1_eyed_dadass]

As far as I know. Sometimes these easy sounding gigs throw curveballs at you.

Might as well get to know my coworker on this. Name's Nier. You?

[numberofthefiend100]

Ah... Allura. [[She has to remember that, sometimes.

And someone taught her a strange custom... so she offers her hand out.]] I'm sorry... I... can't remember how that handshake goes. I hope a casual one will not offend you.

[[Damned foreign ambassadory. I just made up a word, yeah.]]

[1_eyed_dadass]

..."That" handshake? A handshake's a handshake. Don't make much difference to me in the end.

*Strange girl, but he supposes he's seen stranger. He shakes.*

[numberofthefiend100]

I thought so too, but... I was shown a rather complicated one the day I arrived. I... thought it was customary.

[[But... hey, she is a bit strange! She's being watched by the Devil after all!]]

Sh-shall we go then?

[1_eyed_dadass]

Maybe it is. Haven't been here too long. Wouldn't care if it was.

Yeah, sure. Shouldn't be too far.

*He leads the way to a sizable warehouse near the water.*

Hang on a sec. Gonna talk to the guy we gotta report to.

[numberofthefiend100]

[[While you do that, Allura will wait here.

She will also creep just inside and set traps at the entrance. You can't see these traps.. Unless you can detect magic]]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer raises an eyebrow at the man with the huge swords and spears.]

So...gonna go crush some enemies with that?

[1_eyed_dadass]

Replace "enemies" with "rodents" and you got a pretty good idea of it.

[puppy_lancer]

So...where did you find that job for rodent extermination?

[1_eyed_dadass]

Turns out if you screw around long enough with those magic book thingies, you can find a bulletin board with all sorts of this crap.

[puppy_lancer]

Really? Well, I do need some cash...

So how exactly did you "screw around" with the book?

[1_eyed_dadass]

Well I...

...

You know, I don't really remember exactly what I did. Just touched a bunch of random boxes on one of the pages.

[puppy_lancer]

Oh. Guess I'll try that.

[Instead, he just gets an overly loud music video.]

Damn!

[1_eyed_dadass]

*He puts his fingers in his ears.*

I THINK YOU DID IT WRONG.

[puppy_lancer]

I know!

[He quickly filps over to another webpage, which shuts down the music for now.]

I...guess I'll just flip around. Maybe search for things related to the city? Can't be that hard.

[1_eyed_dadass]

I guess. It's kinda confusing to me honestly. We don't have stuff like this where I come from.

[puppy_lancer]

Technically, I know how to use something like this...but I've never really used it to search jobs before.

[1_eyed_dadass]

Heh. You learn a little something new every day, huh?
