Letter to All Heroes -

[mindofathief]

Everyone,

I know this is really late, but I've been sick for the past two weeks, so I couldn't think of doing this earlier, but I spoke with the old man at the Monster Arena, and he says that he'll give us some crystals in exchange for a Hamster. They were important-looking crystals, so I wondered why something so small meant so much to him.

Then he explained that they're really, really strong.

The Calamity is going to cover the entire world soon if we don't do something. If anything, getting one of those crystals would give us a lot more time to explore our options. Even if fighting a cute animal doesn't sound that dangerous, it's better safe than sorry. We'll need to work together to fight one of this things.

Whoever wants to help, please respond to this letter. Thanks.

Dusty,

Consider this a response.

[mindofathief]

Yuffie?

If this is you, I'm really sorry about that letter I sent. You're still cool for mastering ten jobs, but I wish Tamekichi stopped me from writing all that.

I hope to make it up to you before we fight.

- Duster

[thegreatninja]

Dusty,

It’s okay. It was funny.

How would you make it up?

-Yuffie

[mindofathief]

[What can he do? Duster looks over a Tamekichi and thinks for about an hour before writing back.]

Yuffie,

I can buy you something with the money I earn from my first performance gig. It won't be much, but I could buy some potions or food with it.

- Duster

[thegreatninja]

Dusty,

I'm always game with food!

[It's a weakness.]

:)

Dear Duster,

There is nothing to be considered. If crystals that can help us protect the people are on the line, then we must fulfill his wishes. I do wonder, however, where he's finding these crystals. I believe he offered some before, did he not? I will ask him.

As one who is capable of capturing a Hamster once it is defeated, I will gladly offer my services. Please keep me informed as to when we will be setting out to complete this task.

Sincerely,
Rukia Kuchiki

[mindofathief]

Dear Rukia,

We should move out by the end of the weekend. I'm hearing back from a couple of Bards, so as long as we get plenty of fighters, I think we should be fine.

As for where he found those crystals -

I don't know.

He's one mysterious old man.

-Duster

[damn_juicebox]

Dear Duster,

This is true; there are many in this world who may hold more secrets than they let on. I shall be ready for the expedition. I understand hamsters only emerge at night, so we will need proper lighting to guide our way across the plains, unless the moon will be full and uncovered. Please let me know if you require any further assistance.

Sincerely,
Rukia

Duster,

I'll help. I have nine Jobs maxed, including Bard, and I know the song that helps against hamsters. But I can take any role you need me to, really.

-Chiaki

[mindofathief]

Chiaki,

We'll see what everyone can do once we set out. I can fight, but I'd prefer to help everyone else out either by playing the hamster song or by making us stronger.

Why do we need a song for hamsters, anyway? Are they really that strong?

Duster,

They're the strongest monsters this world has to offer. I knew someone in my world who trained them. He called them the Four Dark Devas of Destruction. They managed to take down a robot all by themselves once. Hamsters are not to be underestimated.

-Chiaki

[mindofathief]

Chiaki,

Dark Devas of Destruction?! I've never met hamsters that strong in my world, not even one that could hurt another animal! Just how strong was this trainer?

In my world, it took only one Dark Dragon to destroy a world. Could four Dark Hamsters fight more than just a robot?

-Duster

[He has now grown concerned about this fight.]

[line_piece]

Duster,

The strongest there is. He was known as the Ultimate Breeder. He even had an ancient relic of power called the Hell's Hound Earring, just to help contain his overflowing strength. I'm sure if he were here, we'd have no problems capturing a Hamster or two.

-Chiaki

[mindofathief]

Chiaki,

He sounds like he's a legend. It's kind of a shame he's not here, we could use an experienced man like him.

-Duster

[line_piece]

Duster,

Yeah. He'd know what to do in a situation like this. Probably.

-Chiaki

[21stcenturyguy]

So, uh, you're feeling better now? Cool. That plague was fucking ridiculous.

I don't get what the big deal is with hamsters, but if you need Time Magic or Illusions, I can tag along.

-Santa

[mindofathief]

Santa,

A lot better. I regret some things I did while I was sick.

I don't see why something so cute would inspire so much fear, but if it's for some crystals, we should be prepared. I'd be happy It would be great if you could help out with time magic.

[Duster feels like the phrase he blacked out was weird to write.]

- Duster

[21stcenturyguy]

Woah, sounds like there's a story there. What'd you do?

Ok, I'll come. It can't be weirder than the sentient cactuses, right?

-Santa

[Famous last words. If Duster doesn't wanna share what he did while he was sick, that's fine. Santa will start making inquiries of the moogles. They're notorious gossips.]

[mindofathief]

It's nothing terrible. All I did was run my mouth and said some embarrassing things without thinking about it.

[Tamekichi will be happy to tell Santa about the time he burst into Lust's house to tell her he was hot, then telling other people how much he admired them. He wasn't allowed to shop for days.]

That's great. How bad can hamsters be if they don't have needles?

- Duster

[21stcenturyguy]

[Tamekichi's report takes some of the wind out of Santa's sails. Duster sure didn't pay him a visit and tell him how much Duster admired him.]

I'm sure the group can handle it. See you there.

-Santa

[fearlessherosheart]

Well, if they are strong, I am very interested in battling them.

-- Tazendra Lavode.

[mindofathief]

I knew I could count on you!

- Duster

[fearlessherosheart]

But of course. You would have to confine me to my bed to stop me.

-- Tazendra.
