UFO hunting

[mindofathief]

Dear Everyone,

I've been away for about a month, so I'm not sure if you guys found anything new, but I've gone back to talking to farmers about the animal kidnappers. Some of them have said that they know a person who knows a person who saw their cows get stolen. This world is gigantic, so I need your help in finding out more.

I'm going to stay near Aqures Ixen and talk to the farmers in the area, and I'll keep all of you that wanted to help out updated. We'll meet up later this month to plan a stakeout. Whether it will be a peaceful meeting or a fight, I don't know, but we have to be prepared.

Sincerely,

Duster

[OOC: The UFO Stakeout player plot is underway! You can post up a log with your characters interviewing farmers and I'll have an NPC respond to it! This will culminate in a final stakeout where we wait for the UFO.]

Hello Duster,

I hope you're doing well! I kept a lookout for several nights, but didn't see anything unusual. I'm not sure if that's much help or not. I'll be happy to meet up with you whenever you're ready. Stay safe out there, all right?

Your Friend,
Rialynn K.

Hello Rialynn,

I'm doing fine! I've been fighting for almost all of my life, and I can handle some walking. I'm more worried about you, actually. I heard about what happened in Mysidia, and a lot of you guys haven't been looking good recently. Visions of a bad future can't be a good thing at all, but you haven't said much about it since. Are you doing okay?

We definitely should meet up sometime soon, Chocobo guarding or not.

Your friend,
Duster

Dear Duster,

You needn't worry about me, I wasn't affected all that much. I haven't said anything about it since I died pretty early on, so I missed out on most of the story. To be honest, it wasn't much worse than an unpleasant dream. I've had scarier nightmares. But thank you, you're very kind to be concerned. I'm fine, I promise.

Let me know next time you keep watch? I'll watch with you.

Your Friend,
Rialynn

Dear Rialynn,

Imagining that you're dying is an awful experience. Even if I ended up surviving the end of my world, it was the scariest moment of my life, and dreams are known to feel real. And the worst nightmare in the world, in my opinion, is believing that your friends turned against you and kill you.

I guess I've had worse nightmares, but it still sounds terrible to me.

I have a stakeout planned in two weeks. Can we meet up earlier and hang out for a while?

Your friend,
Duster

Dear Duster,

Of course we can, whenever you like! But please believe me when I say that I'm absolutely okay. I'm not trying to put on a brave face or anything like that, it just didn't bother me that much. It was just another story, you know? And I don't have a mark on me, so no harm done. Why, were you part of it? Did it shake you up any?

Your Friend,

Dear Rialynn,

I wasn't part of it, but I heard others talk about how terrified they were. And I know how bad nightmare visions can shake you up, because I went through a really bad one back home after I ate some weird mushroom. No one else at the Crystal Forest wanted to talk about it much, but I'm offering to help if you ever need it.

But if you're okay, that's fine too! You're a very positive person, did you know that? We all can use someone like you around here.

Thanks,
Duster

[Now she's starting to get embarrassed. Time to turn the attention back to Duster!]

Dear Duster,

Trust me, I'm absolutely fine, it's not an excuse just for you not to worry about me. I'd like to hear about the mushroom, though. How did that come about? Did the vision actually mean anything, or was it just a nasty experience? I want to hear the whole story when we meet up. See you soon!

Your Friend,
Rialynn
