Sorry for the lack of updates, haven't had time.
You get straight to business.
"Well, I wouldn't say "give out". However, I do run a breeding program to fund my research" he says.
He leads you to a walled off room in the back. You can hear various animalic sounds coming from it, and it worries you a bit. He unlocks a rather large padlock and opens the door.
The room isn't too small, but it doesn't provide the virtual monsters ample space. You count about a dozen virtuamons, and three breeds.
One is a squirrel with its tail's fur, well you assume it's fur, fused together. Its fur is a jet black and for a split second you swear you saw a spark come off its tail.
The second is a small dog, gray with a white stripe running from the top of its head all the way down to its tail. The dog seems rather tame compared to its companions.
The last breed is a rather disgusting rat. Black, you sometimes spot a thick goop coming from the edges of its mouth.
"Welcome to the breeding room" Professor Pine exclaims. "Here we breed Squax, the squirrel, for 50 pieces. Spwid, the rat, for 50 pieces. And finally, Boach, the dog, for 80 pieces. They have all been pretrained, though the dogs have special attention. If you have any questions about the abilities of said Virtuamons, just ask Wall..nut."
You smirk at his terrible pun, but neverthless you believe he is offering some indisputable good deals.
Rani"Legal!? Girl, how long have you been around here?" the man asks.
You reply about an hour, seeing no harm in telling him.
"Heh. That explains it. Listen here little girl. There is no law in this world. Maybe down in the central cities, but not out here. Now, I'm not asking you to go out right and murder someone. I just need a little something from someone who doesn't need it anymore. Do you think you can handle it, or should I find someone else more willing?"
You notice Tai approach. He seems rather interested in what you're doing, though you haven't actually done anything yet.
TaiYou stomp off, outraged at the thought that you would be asked to pay for a town map. You head over to Rani at the opposite side of the bazaar, and catch the merchant saying "Do you think you can handle it, or should I find someone else more willing?". You start questioning her, oblivious to the merchant you just interrupted. To you, she seems rather defensive.
Ash"Ha. Boy, I fish for a living. Did you see those stalls back in town? Myself along with a few other fisherman catch all the fish for the town. These waters are loaded with fish. However, I need some bait. A dozen minnows would do me good. You can find them in the bazaar. Fetch me those and I'll teach you to fish. I may also sell you my spare rod, I never use it anyway."
You head back to Mr. Dimmers and accept his job, and not too soon, since he looked rather impatient. He laughs at your question.
"They only serve one kind of fish in town!" he laughs. "Not sure what its called, just fish around here. Prepared the same way every time too. But its certainly better than that yuck they grow on the farms at the edge of town"
You run to the market, out of breath when you reach the fresh fish stall. You spot Rani and Tai having a discussion at a stall across from you, in front of a rather shady merchant, who appears to be irratated at the recent turn of events.
A "Fish Paradise", you smirk at its generic name, costs 15 pieces. They also sell minnows at a piece per minnow.
ZeoxIrrated at the
plot deadends lack of progress, you remember "The Tutorial" mentioning a warehouse at the edge of town. You spot it rising above the rooftops, but only make it to the bazaar. You were on the other side of town after all. You spot Ash at the fresh fish stall, and Tai and Rani at another stall. The shady merchant there looks rather irratated and it appears Tai and Rani are arguing.
