[Open][Quest] The Forester's Request

[Deleted]

It was a fine, cool evening. The wind blew strong through the Windsor Greatwood. Leaves could be heard ruffling as a small party of two were walking over layers of brown, crispy, dried, leaves. The party consisted of a man and a young girl, both of which were Half Alv. They each had the same bright, cheerful smile upon their faces. The man had a single long sword resting in a sheath on the man's right hip, and his right hand was gently resting upon the pommel; his left hand was completely covered in his left pocket. The young girl at his side, however, had a simple dress and held a large stick that one could only assume she either utilized as a club type of weapon, or a very primitive staff; if one were to take the girl's light armor into account of their examination of the girl, it would be quite obvious that the latter of the two uses for the staff was most likely correct. The girl hummed the Windsor Greatwood theme from Elder Tale's soundtrack. The man smiled as he looked to the girl, speaking up. "Alette, are you getting tired yet? We have been walking for many hours now." The young girl, Alette apparently, smiled and nodded in response to the man's question. The black haired man knelt down to Alette's level and lifted her up to sit on his shoulders, holding onto her right ankle with his right hand. "Hold on tightly!"

Alette smiled and held tightly onto her companion as she let out a soft, joyous giggle. "Thank you, daddy!"

Dumah smiled brighter than before and spoke up once again. "Perhaps soon we should find a spot we can set up a camp and take a rest." After a few more minutes, the small party found themselves at a very fortunate find: A log cabin with all of the utilities one would expect for a woodworker or lumberjack.

A muscular, yet still slim, man with short blonde hair was seen out on the cabin's porch, sitting in a wooden rocking chair, crafted with amazing workmanship and quality. The party walked up to the sitting man and the black-haired Half Alv of the party spoke. "Pardon me, sir, is this your log cabin?"

The man smiled as he rocked in his chair, his rocking being slightly altered by his nodding in response to his visitor's question. "Aye, it is! Are you two Adventurers?"

The Half Alv spoke once again in response. "Yes, yes we are. I am Dumah Iino; a pleasure to meet you, my friend. This is my daughter, Alette." Dumah gestured to the young girl sitting atop his shoulders as he mentioned her. "We have been walking for quite some time now, and we were hoping you would be willing to offer us a night or some respite from the cold temperature. If needed, we can afford paying for it, or perhaps if you need us to help with some sort of work."

The blonde man, clearly a Person of The Land, waved his hand to gesture that there is no need to pay. "Oh, please, I am just a wood worker!" He then held his chin, pondering something. "All though... I have been unable to do my work lately. There have been many Green Slimes around the forest lately. If you'd be willing to lower their numbers a bit, I could get back to my work! I'd appreciate it very much."

Dumah smiled cordially at the Person of The Land's quest. "Of course! We would be happy to. Though, perhaps tomorrow. It is a bit late, and if we are lucky, more Adventurers will find this log cabin by morning, willing to help us slay the hordes of slimes you claim are plaguing this forest."

[Frigus]

Frigus inhaled deeply, as to breathe in the sweet air which was all about him.  It truly smelled clear, and quite nice compared to the air in Londinium.  The air there smelled quite, musty in some areas to put it simply.  And not all so clear in other places.  It was mainly due to some areas being in ruin, which wasn't anyone's fault.  If anyone had to be blamed for the smell, or the air rather, one could blame the developers.  Assuming that they were the ones that coded in the smell to go with the surroundings.  So much was unknown about what the developers had done, or at least as far as he knew.  How had they coded all this, to happen?  It was all a mystery, to put it frankly.  Perhaps they sprinkled a bit of magic here and there over their coding or something, because everyone teleporting into a game certainly couldn't be done normally in this day and age.  But how or why the developers had done what they did wasn't important.  What was important, as of the moment anyway, was that Frigus accomplished his goal!

Yes, he hadn't just come to the Windsor Greatwood for a hike.  He had come there to train!  And training he intended to do to a great extent, possibly.  But at this rate he wasn't going to get any training accomplished if he couldn't find somewhere to stay.  Night would set upon him soon, and he hadn't heard what monsters did during the night to adventurers.  And quite frankly, he didn't care to find out.  So, making his way through the woods and keeping the road's location in mind he sped off at a fast walk.  He wasn't too sure what he was looking for, but he knew at this rate he wouldn't be able to make it back to human civilization before night fell upon him.  Maybe there was a small cabin out here that a hunter used perhaps?  Or possibly cabin or two, anything that had a roof and walls would be great.

Tripping over a rather large root that he hadn't noticed Frigus began to plummet towards the ground.  The only thing that saved him from getting a face full of dirt was his staff, which he managed to adjust and regain his balance with.  With a sigh he looked down at his hand.  There was a splinter or two in his hand, which he decided not to pull out until he found shelter.  Looking about now he noticed a small glow coming from his left.  Believing this to be a sign that shelter was nearby he made his way towards it.  Once at the area where the glow had resided he took in the scene before him.

A great log cabin with a porch stood before him, along with all the utilities one might expect for someone living in such a place so far away from civilization.  Climbing up the steps of the porch now Frigus took note of a rocking chair, which appeared to be of fine quality.  Whoever lived here must have been a lumberjack as well as a carpenter.  But whatever the person who lived here was it didn't matter all too much.  As long as they there friendly, and hopefully welcomed him in it didn't matter all too much what they did as a profession.  So, bringing his fist up into the air at a medium speed the young man waited for a moment, before bringing it down upon the door.  One, two, three.  After the third knock Frigus brought the fist back to his side, which was followed by letting it crumble away into a straight hand.  Now all there was to do was wait for whomever was inside to allow him in.

“And you will seat right up here!” Mokusu said as he picked up the bright lit bunny he summoned and place it on his head. The Fox Tail had been locking himself in the stable he had found and made it into his workshop and possibly his home, now that he thinks about it. Today he had promise himself that he would go out, possibly tried to level himself up or restock his crafting supply, and he chose restocking and decided to go back into the city to shop and look at some weapons he could replicate with his woodwork. It when he wanted to go back to the stable that he got lost, seeing as the stables was surrounded with trees and fern of the wood, it wasn’t surprising that he would get lost when trying to search for it. 

Now, as light started to fade and with his Carbuncle on his head lighting his way, he journey into the woods to find his stable, and after a few twist and turn, and running from a few monsters of the night and such, he found the log cabin. Now, the summoner had seen the movies about cabins in the wood being bad, but right now he was exhausted and don’t really care, as long as he had somewhere to rest tonight he would be gold and maybe search that to well hidden stable tomorrow when the sun is out and the lights will be bright. 

Examining his status just on the top left of his vision, he saw that his MP bar almost empty from keeping the Carbuncle materialize in this world, picking the creature off his head and saying his thanks which the creature reply with a squeal, he desummon the light elemental bunny and proceed toward the cabin’s door, towards the brown haired human as he finish knocking on the door. 

“Hey,” The Fox Tail said to the human adventurer, “You lost too?”

Dumah, sorry about leaving Alette on that other thread, but Moku is here now =D
And also will be RPing as a Level 7 Summoner| Notes

[Alette]

Some time after the two new people had arrived at the cabin, the same blonde haired Person of The Land who had welcomed in the small party of two from earlier that night opened the door and smiled at them both. "Ah, well! It would seem as though I am surprisingly popular today!" He chuckled softly. "Let us hope this popularity does not attract some unwanted attention! Please, come in!" He opened the door wider, and gestured, welcoming both men into his cabin. It was a fairly large and comfortable home. "We were just about to begin dinner. Please, follow me into the kitchen!" The Person of The Land led them further in, turning a corner. They found themselves in a room that was an open concept kitchen mixed into a dining room. There was a beautiful dining table with numerous chairs, and already seated in two of them, right beside each other, were two faces that the Fox Tail found familiar: Dumah Iino, the leader and member of the Boston Tea Party and Noihara's Scarlet Rose Adventurers, and Alette Caelius, member of both the aforementioned Boston Tea Party and Noihara's Scarlet Rose Adventurers.

Alette was waiting for her dinner quite joyously, swinging her legs happily. She looked at the two new people who had joined them in the cabin, and smiled happily, waving at both. "Hello!" She smiled at Mokusu. "And hello again to you, Mr. Mokusu!"

Dumah was waiting patiently, his body not acting nearly as restless as that of his alleged daughter. "Well well well! Is this not quite the surprise? A small world it is, would you not agree?" He smiled at the Fox Tail. "A pleasure to see you again, Mokusu. How have you fared this past month since the Boston Tea Party's founding?" At the mention of his raid party, he seemed to change expressions a bit. "Ah, and I am sorry that I have not found much for us to do as of late; I have found myself a bit... Busy..." He chuckled and scratched the back of his head a bit nervously.

After he said this, Alette looked a bit confused. "What were you busy with? We've been exploring for the past month!"

As Alette naively revealed the truth of the situation, Dumah jumped a bit as the truth of his past month was revealed. "Erm... Yes, well..." His expression grew more nervous. "Yes, she is correct. Sorry for hiding that; I have a tendency to get lost in exploration..."

Mokusu Frigus

OOC: Don't worry, Mokusu. I mean- IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS LIFE-THREATENING OR ANYTHING! *joking of course* I jest. Anyways, I'd say this takes place a month after the founding of the BTP, and some time before Alette's kidnapping at the beach.

[Frigus]

"No. Not really" said Frigus, replying to the ginger haired fellow. He was unable to say another word to the fellow that had just arrived at the door, for what he presumed to be the owner welcomed them in. As he entered the cabin he noticed that it was quite roomy and comfortable. The design of the house was interesting, to put it simply. For a cabin out in the woods it was abnormal. Although that was assuming that most cabins in this day and age for the game would be the same as what he thought a cabin would be. And his thoughts of a cabin were probably wrong, but it didn't matter all too much.

Following the owner of the cabin now Frigus was led around a corner and into a dining room mixed with a kitchen. The dining table appeared to be magnificently done, just like the rocking chair. He could only assume the Lander crafted both of them. Whether he crafted it by hand or with the UI somehow he wasn't all too sure. But he didn't dwell on that for all that long, since there were two people sitting at the dining room table already! One of the two individuals sitting at the table was a young girl, while the other one was a young man of sorts. The girl seemed like a beacon of joy in the cabin. So much so that she would most likely cheer up everyone around her no matter their mood.

Pulling a chair out for himself now Frigus listened to the small greetings to him and the other fellow. Who had apparently already met the duo sitting across from him currently. Moving his chair forward slightly now he tried to make himself look like a happy and joyous individual. So basically the opposite of what he regularly was. It wasn't exactly due to the atmosphere which the girl spread, or that there were a few people in the room. Instead it was due to the Lander allowing him into his house, which was quite a nice thing to do. He didn't want to upset him or his other guests by looking like a beacon of gloom.

Simply listening the duo speak to the fellow that joined him at the door Frigus figured out that he was named Mokusu. Or that was his last name at least. Apparently he had quite a past with the duo. Something about being about for the Boston Tea Party's founding. It sounded quite strange, really. Since they were all English, or he presumed them to be. Was the Boston Tea Party some kind of group plotting against something? Hell if he knew. It all sounded so, strange. But he tried to keep a pleasant mood about him. It wouldn't be good to make enemies in this world, or people that disliked him for whatever reason. The more allies he had the better.

[Mokusu]

Envy, that was how the Fox Tail felt as he enter the cabin after the brown hair human, most of everything inside was carve out of wood and it was magnificent. Mokusu can’t help but awed by the interior of the cabin. 

“Do you live he alone, sir?” Mokusu asked the owner as he led the Fox Tail and the Human adventurer to the dining area which to his surprised… 

"And hello again to you, Mr. Mokusu!" A voice he recognises greeted him.  

“Alette?” He called out, “Hi, where’s Dum…”Before he could finish himself, another voice beside her spoke, it was no surprise that it was Dumah.  

Mokusu smile as he approached them and patted Alette head, “I see you’re well,” before taking a sit on the opposite side of the duo so he could easily talk with them. As he finally sat down, Alette had just unravel Dumah lie on being busy which the Fox Tail replied with a laugh and with a motion as if he’s fanning himself, he waved out the leader’s apologies. 

“You don’t have to be sorry, It’s a brand new world… I get it…” His wide smile slowly faded. “I’m fine, been able to take of myself, I found an abandon stable which I am lost from,” Laughter follows. “Which I’ve also made it into my workshop for…” He touched the well-crafted table, envy. “…my wood works.” He knows he’ll reach this level of craftsmanship but still he can’t help but fell envious. 

“Found this place when trying to search for it,” He said recovering his smile. “Thought I’ll rest here for a bit before searching when the light is out tomorrow,” Smiling at the owner. “If you don’t mind, that is”

Dumah shifted in his seat a bit before speaking in reply to Mokusu. "Well, in the morning, Alette and I were planning to go hunt some Slimes." He gestured to the hospitable Person of The land with his left hand. "Our fine host here has asked of us to assist him. A quest if you will."

The aforementioned Person of The Land had been finishing up dinner as he spoke. "Aye, it is just as the man said. There have been an oddly large amount of slimes around the forest as of late, and it has been getting in the way of my work. It would mean much to me if you could help thin the herd a bit. I could return to my work as a wood worker, and it would make the forest that much safer." After his explanation of the quest, he served dinner: A simple meal of Brier Weasel meat prepared in a stew. He served it to each of his visitors and Dumah smiled brightly as he spoke.

"Thank you very much for the meal, my good sir." With that, he began to eat. However... His smile and bright expression quickly faded after he'd swallowed his bite. The Person of The Land laughed a bit, primarily out of nervousness.

"I apologize for the taste - or rather, the lack thereof - for you see, with my lack of work, I've been low on money, and I haven't had the ability nor the funds to make a meal Adventurer style." The man sat at the table with his own meal, and began eating with all of the others. It seemed as though he and Alette were the only two at the table who were not as saddened by the meal prepared by the UI.

Dumah spoke a bit after he forced himself to finish the tasteless meal. "Thank you for the meal, sir. Anyways," he addressed the group of adventurers now, "Alette and I were planning to begin our hunt in the morning after we'd had some rest. If you two would like to join us, we would be very appreciative of your assistance." He smiled to the group, and Alette smiled as well, both expressions complimenting each other beautifully.

Mokusu Frigus

[Frigus]

The old lander set out a bowl of soup before Frigus and the others, which looked quite good. But he couldn't pick up a scent from it, weird. Dipping his spoon into it and bringing it up away from himself he brought it to his mouth. As soon as the mixture touched his tongue the foul flavour sent a chill down his spine. He had been served that type of food. Honestly, he should have known that he wasn't going to be served real food in a place like this. It still tasted foul to him, and would most likely always taste foul. Most likely no one would be able to be able to get over this wretched stuff.

Hearing a small laugh now he understood that the man was waiting for their disgust of the food. It was followed by a sort explanation of why it was so, which made Frigus feel slightly bad for the old man. Slightly rushing to get the food down his throat now he tried to finish his bowl before it got cold. This stuff was simply awful when it was warm, but cold he would never touch it. Nearing the end of his bowl now he listened as the black haired spoke. It was mostly the simple jazz, thank you for the meal. But it was followed by asking for his assistance, along with Mokusu's.

Finished his bowl Frigus pushed it slightly forward, before speaking. "Thank you for the meal" he said, pausing for a moment. "And I'll join the hunt. But first off, I believe some introductions are in order. My name's William, or Frigus" he said, waiting for the others to give introductions. This was mainly done to let the owner of the cabin know their names, and the other way around. It would be rude not to know the name of the person who allowed you to stay at their house for the night. After all, without the old man's help he, and possibly the other three, would be stuck out in the wilderness. Prey for anything that came upon them, assuming they were unable to deal with the predator.

[Mokusu]

“A quest!” The Fox tail’s eyes shine as the word was uttered, He had never participated on a quest even a small one such as the one the owner’s currently explaining before he serve the adventurers dinner. In truth he was still scared of the world, which is why he chose to restock his supplies rather than tried to gain a few more levels, maybe finding this cabin was the universe way to tell him to buck up. 

Looking at both Dumah and Alette and the other Human adventurers before looking at the stew given by the blond hair Lander, he know it’ll be an easy quest, the slimes around the area are often low… bland.. tasteless, the spoon had entered his mouth, disturbing his train of thought. His facial features changed to disgusted just before the Lander apologises and explained. Forcing himself to swallowed it, Mokusu faced the owner of the cabin, “It’s alright, it’s actually delicious… in a way.” He lied before forcing another spoonful into his mouth, and another, until the bowl was wipe clean. 

The brown hair human said his thanks, which the fox tail follows with smile to the Lander and acceptance of the quest was follow with an introduction from the human, “It’s nice to meet you…” Seeing as the name Frigus was made on his character, then Frigus is what the fox tail will call the human. “..Frigus.” 

“I’m Mokusu,” The Fox tail said as he bow his head slightly, “And I too will accept the quest... but what you ask of us is dangerous,” excuses, lies, a merchant way of doing business, “I would like to add a counter proposal, mainly for my benefit.” He ignored the faces of the other in the table, only concentrating on the owner’s, “In lack of strength, the slime will counter with numbers,” lies, he doesn't really know how the slimes will behave, he doesn't know how intelligent they are, but he know that they are attracted to magic and magic is a summoner’s weapon, “If we survive,” Knowing Dumah, they will, “Teach me your ways, take me under your wings as a fellow woodcrafter.” With a slight bow, his trade proposal is complete. Ever since he have enter, he was in awed by the workmanship of the Lander, even if some considered them as lower being, but one thing that Mokusu saw in them that made them just as strong as an adventurer and it was their passion, each unique, each shine brighter. They are after all, the original people of the land.

Wooh! What just happen @-@ | Notes

[Deleted]

Dumah smiled a bit as he sighed, reminded of Mokusu's passion at whatever he happens to set his mind to. In this case, it had been his woodworking. The Person of The Land waved his hand, rejecting the idea with a bit of remorse. "I am sorry, but I'm afraid I will have to decline the apprenticeship. I've given up on teaching more students. It is a long story, and one I would rather not go into if that is alright with you." He apologized sincerely as he took everyone's dishes, depositing them in a sink to wash at a later time. He made a small clap of his hands as he changed the topic a bit suddenly. "It is rather late, perhaps we should all rest? It would sound as if the three of you have a big day ahead of you tomorrow. As for you," he began as he gestured to Mokusu, "you are free to rest here for the night, despite your plans not to help. I am a sucker for a good deed, after all." He laughed softly as he smiled.

Dumah stood and went over to Mokusu, putting his left hand on Mokusu's right shoulder softly. "If you need my assistance tomorrow with finding your home, I shall make quick work of the slimes and we shall be off to find your workshop. It really is too bad you cannot help this hospitable Person of The Land!" Dumah seemed to be trying to use reverse psychology to cause Mokusu to feel guilty, and perhaps change his mind.

Alette further aided Dumah's attempts as she sauntered over to the target of this cute-powered psychological warfare. She looked up at him and spoke in a saddened manner. "You're leaving us, Mr. Mokusu...?" It seemed as if in the while that Dumah and Alette spent separated from the Boston Tea Party, they had grown a connection that was almost in tune with each other, giving them this odd habit of complementing each others' actions. Her adorable, saddened expression worked hard to try and guilt Mokusu into staying with them.

Mokusu Frigus

[Frigus]

The fellow next to Frigus appeared to be, unique. That was the best way to describe him, or possibly the worst. He hadn't quite seen someone like him before. Or maybe he had before, once in his school. He appeared to be someone who tried be joyous even in the darkest hour. But, listening to him speak some more it appeared that wasn't the case. To put it simply Mokusu was someone that appeared to be quite polite and joyous if he could benefit somehow from the people around him. Or maybe he wasn't, who knew. Certainly seemed like it. But it wasn't too important, whatever traits Mokusu might have. Or at least as of this moment anyway. He was just thinking too hard about the others in the room this evening, which he usually didn't do.

Listening to the lander's denial of Mokusu's condition Frigus could only assume now that he wouldn't be of aid during the extermination of those slimes. Of course, the extermination would only be temporary, since the vile creatures would simply respawn. This was due to how the game was made for monsters to be there for players that came later. Just because an NPC that was given emotion and thoughts was terrorized didn't matter all too much to the developers. Their comfort of knowing that there were no monsters about would only be temporary.

After everything was hopefully said and done Frigus tried to recall if the other two individuals sitting across from him at the table had given him their names. He didn't think so, but then again he had a habit of forgetting people's names for a short while after he met them. As of the moment their names weren't too important, since he could always ask them in the morning. All he was going to do now was sit and wait in his chair, waiting to see what Mokusu was going to say to the little girl.

[Mokusu]

The smile he hold started to fade as he hear the answer to his proposal, “It’s alright,” he had went through rejection many times in the previous world that his mouth responded automatically, but still his heart ache in respond, this one in particular hit him hard. “It’s alright,” He said again but to himself, a reassurance he always make himself said telling that next time will be great, a simple pick yourself up and dust yourself off procedure he had created for himself. 

Recovering his smile, he try to correct the Lander that he will be joining despite the rejection, but before he could utter a word, the Dumah-Alette combo began their attack. What makes the attack a success was Alette’s approach into persuasion. An “aww…” and laughter follow his respond to Alette’s question before he approached the child, knelling down. “No, I won’t. Sure I’ll help just as long as you show me a smile.” If this was a battle, the words ‘CRITICAL!’ would be floating above him right now. 

Patting the sorceress’s head, “I can find it after the quest is done, Dumah, the light will help” Mokusu said as he stood up before facing the Lander. “For your hospitality and this child smile,” He said smiling as he ruffled Alette’s hair, “I will accept your quest.” 

“Now,” Facing the two half-alv, “Dumah, Alette; I believe you haven’t introduced yourself to Frigus,” He said as he look at the lone human. “And also,” Facing the owner again, “I guess we should get to know your name too.”

Dumah smiled as the mental combo attack from Alette and himself proved to be an amazing success. After Mokusu had mentioned the two Half Alves having forgotten to introduce themselves to the fourth adventurer they had not met before, they both turned to the aforementioned unknown man. "Ah, yes! Where are my manners?" Dumah gave his typical, formal bow as he introduced himself with a broad smile. "I am Dumah Exilium Iino! Founder and leader of the Boston Tea Party, a group of players who enjoy working together and making the best of our new lives in this new world!" He stood straight once more, not allowing his smile nor his formality to fade for even a moment. After his friendly introduction, his daughter followed suit.

Alette held her simple stick staff at waist level, her arms extended straight down to her waist, holding her staff in both hands, perpendicular to her body. She bowed just like her father had before, smiling brightly and standing straight before introducing herself. "Alette Caelius! Sorceress of the Boston Tea Party!" She stood close to Dumah, always by his side. If one did not know any better, they might possibly assume Alette is a summon of Dumah's, or perhaps the other way around.

Either way, this misconception would be dashed in a mere moment as Dumah gently put his hand on Alette's head and smiled at her as he spoke. "Alette here is my daughter. We have been together since the Apocalypse." This explanation did much to explain why they seemed so close and inseparable.

The Person of The Land listened closely as his guests introduced themselves to each other. He smiled and began to speak after Dumah had explained his relationship with the young sorceress. "I am Jack Lignum. It is a pleasure to meet all of you!"

[Frigus]

Interesting, very interesting indeed. It appeared as if some families got dragged into Elder Tale, which Frigus hadn't necessarily thought of before. But, it was understandable. Some parents most likely would supervise their children in a game by playing it with them, occasionally. However that was most likely only if the parent was one might consider a "gamer." This is what he assumed occurred in this case. It was good that the girl had someone to stick by her that she knew in real life, since she appeared to be quite young. Judging by her appearance, and her behaviour.

Covering his mouth as he yawned slightly Frigus peered out the window into the outside world. Everything appeared normal outside of the little cabin. Night had fallen upon them, and all the trees stayed perfectly still, just like trees should. They certainly weren't monsters, which was a real blessing. But, after a moment or two he began to rethink what he thought about the trees. Something appeared to be moving out there, something slightly small, but still of medium height. Staring through the window for a few more moments he watched as the creature moved out into the moonlight, revealing that it was nothing but an owl. It hooted a little bit later.

It was a relief that it was only an animal he saw, and moving his attention back to the little group in the room he recalled that he forgot some of his manners. "It's nice to meet all of you, and thank you Jack for the housing and meal" he said, unable to recall if he had already thanked the lander for the food. Oh well, it wasn't going to be an issue if he said thank you for something one too many times. "So," he said, pausing for a moment. "Shall I attend to the washing of the dishes?" he said, intending for the lander not to clean their dishes. He had already done quite a bit for them, and just doing some dishes along with clearing out some slimes wouldn't be any trouble. In fact clearing out the slimes was beneficial to them as well, so doing the dishes was the least he could do.

“It’s nice to meet you,” and with a nod to the Lander, the introduction is done, the Fox Tail returns back to his seat to fumble with his user interface, to slide up and down his inventory list, return back to the menu, enter his skill list and again scroll it up and down the list, trying to get over the rejection of the proposal with a tight lip smile on his face. It succeeded as he – with a yelp – accidently summon his Carbuncle causing a light glow bunny like creature to appear on his lap, with a short chuckle he patted the light-elemental creature and whisper an order for it to let out a relaxing glow. 

Closing the interface, he continued to pat the Carbuncle on his lap as it bath the summoner with a relaxing low blueish green light and one thing passed his mind: he had never named his summons. Looking around he saw that Frigus was examining something outside the window. Window? No… Window would be a bad name, his eyes follow the human as he volunteer to wash the dishes. Dishes? Wash? Disash? Washes? The Fox Tail let out a sigh as the light of the Carbuncle started to dim, he was never good with names. 

He brushed the thought out of his mind as he could always think of a name for his Carbuncle and Sylph later but seeing as the creatures will be always loyal to him, he should really make it a priority. 

“Hey Alette,” Mokusu grabbed the child attention, “Want to play with the Carbuncle,” He said, picking the light blue-green bunny like creature above the table to show it to Alette. “I hope you don’t mind, Sir Lignum” As he realised he summon the creature out without the owner’s permission, a yawn escaped the Fox Tai, causing him to lower the Carbuncle and his head down, trying to cover the yawn since both his had his holding the creature.

Don't really know what to do here, so yeah o-o | Notes

The Person of The Land smiled as he shook his head softly. "Perhaps we could save it for the morning, my good Mr. Mokusu? It is quite late, after all. As for you, Mr. Frigus, I would not wish to ask anything of my guests. You four are already assisting me enough as you are, what with you all helping me by killing the slimes in the morning. I can handle the dishes some other time! You should all get some rest. Come, I can show you to my living room, and then I can prepare some blankets for you all to lie upon. The floor is made of wood, after all, so it would be a tad bit uncomfortable were you to lie down with nothing but the floor itself!" Jack led the four adventurers to a comfortable room, suitable for relaxing, where one might sit and read a nice book after a long day of work. "I shall be but a moment!" With that, Jack walked off, heading into another room and returning with four blankets and pillows, one for each of his guests. He began to lie each down on the ground, making impromptu mattresses. After each blanket bed was prepared, he bowed and smiled to them all. "Please, get a good night's sleep! The morning shall be upon us before we even know it, and hunting monsters sounds as if it would not be the sort of work one would wish to do whilst exhausted!" He made his way to another room, presumably his own resting chambers. "Sleep well, everyone."

Dumah and Alette both bowed and thanked their guest, smiling happily and lying down after putting their weapons back into their inventory. Dumah spoke in a joyous, excited manner to the party. "Good night, everyone. Sleep well, we have quite a day ahead of us!"

[Frigus]

Well, he didn't have to do the dishes apparently, which was good. Possibly. Frigus still felt bad about letting the old man do it, but he insisted upon it. But perhaps it was a good thing, since it meant he could retire early. The old man had set out makeshift beds for all of them. Although whether or not Dumah and Alette would share one together was beyond him. She had only met him, and he presumably Jack as well, only today. So it would make sense for her to want to sleep with her father. Due her age and the fact of her familiarity with some of them and all.

Shame Frigus didn't have any clothes to change into for sleeping. But then again it might have also been a good thing. Because it would most likely be very awkward if the Lander didn't have a lockable room and all. Since not all of the adventurers in the room were male, and of an appropriate age. But without appropriate clothes to change into for the night he didn't have to worry about that! No no, hopefully not. However he couldn't quite tell if anyone else was going to do something, inappropriate. All he had to do was hope everyone kept their wits about them. Which shouldn't be too hard, since they had such a small group of people.

Bringing one leg down upon the makeshift bed now Frigus began to sit down. Balancing his body with his left hand he brought his behind upon the fabric. He was not perfectly sitting upon the bed. In a sense anyway. His right leg was bent upside in a V shape, which might have made it not perfect in some people's views. But he was waiting to listen to see if anyone had anything to say, while being comfortable. And this position did just that.

[Mokusu]

Squeezing the Carbuncle softly, the Fox Tail desummoned it back to its own realm of existence before proceeding to join the Lander and the rest of the Adventurers to the living room in which Mokusu sat down on one of the hand crafted chairs as the Lander, Jack Lignum, fetched the blankets and pillows. As Jack started to prep the floor with blankets for his visitors, Mokusu stood up and release a loud yawn and stretch his arms up high before remembering his manners and said his apologies follow with a thanks to the owner of the house for the blankets and pillows. 

Unlatching his whip from his hip and taking off his shoes, the Fox Tail proceed to put them into his inventory before taking off the schynbalds covering is left leg and also taking off the three-button vest and those also enter his inventory and with only his medieval shirt, his breeches, the cloth belt and the random bandages found on his right leg and left forearm. He flopped down to the only unoccupied blanket and pillow left and with his head resting on the pillow, he open up his inventory and start rearranging the newly inserted objects within. After a few minutes of dragging his fingers on the air, he brushed his face with his hand, a habit he often done when his eyes started to feel tired, and closed the interface. 

With his elbows supporting his body as he looked to the other adventurers, “Well…” He said awkwardly letting out a thin smile, “Good night.” And back he went, eyes still open as he stare at the ceiling…
