NEVERSILENT'S PROFILE

I look up at Hovy - who towers over me - like I hadn't even noticed him before. Suddenly, I begin snickering, then bursting into laughter, as I address Roy, pointing my finger at Hovy.

"Pfffbwahahaha! Did you... Did you see his face? It looks like a butt, Kupo-Kupo-Kupo!"

Still giggling, and hopefully having made Hovy sufficiently mad, I very abruptly snatch the Smoke Bomb out of my pack and throw it on the ground in front of Hovy and his accomplices (and probably myself, too).

What easier prey for a crazed (potential) cannibal could there be than a small, clumsy Moogle, who seems very obviously lost and has no idea what he's doing? I will play bait and bumble my way through the dark passageways between the warehouses, deliberately bumping into stuff constantly and acting completely inept. I will keep a little bit of distance between myself and Janna, attempting to draw attention away from her as she's sneaking around, and towards myself instead.


(P.S.: Atiya, could you add the Potions Janna gave us to our inventories, so we don't forget we have them, please? Thanks!)

Seeing Thom having his unfortunate little accident, Vivian engaging in one of her occasional ramblings again, and Janna being at a loss for words, I smile approvingly, knowing we have made the right impression.

"Hey, friends!" I call for Vivian and Niviea. "We have something important to discuss over here! Come on over and meet this friendly lady, Ku-kupo!"

"Name's Anno, pleased to meet you, Kupo." I introduce myself with a bow towards the Seeq woman, and in doing so immediately trip over and fall flat on my face. "Oops."

"Well," I continue as I scramble back to my feet, "I'll be happy to help you, at least, Kupo-po. As you can probably see, sticking our noses where bad guys don't want them is sort of our specialty."

In a more hushed voice, I add while nodding subtly in the direction of our wacky party: "Be honest, Kupo, if you'd encountered us anywhere but in this place, who'd ever suspect us of being professional Clan adventurers? Your bad guy won't even know what hit him."

Atiya: I'll use my 20 extra Gil to buy a lengths of rope, a canteen, and - if possible - a broken flute that makes a really unpleasant shrill sound if played.

Shuffling to the front past my two comrades, I address the two Moogle, allowing the people in the pub to see the odd sight that is me: An even smaller than average Moogle, clad almost entirely in heavy plate armour, with a big smile on his face.

"Morning, Cesar, Kupo! You look great today! And who's your friend here? I don't think we've met before, Kupo. I love what you've done with your hair, Kupo!" I begin babbling at the two Moogle with my squeaky voice, trying to distract them from harrassing my friends (and knowing full well that the Mog Knight is wearing a helmet, so I can't even see his hair).

Then, addressing Vivian and Niviea, I wave my hands excitedly and say: "Yeah, you should absolutely dance, Kupo! The people here will love it!"

After all, not only is watching these two friends dance always fun, it might also be a great way to make sure I can go take a peek at the job board and pick something good while everybody else is paying attention to the dancers.

Thank you! I hadn't gotten that far yet, so I'll hop over to this new version.
