I certainly don't have any objections to the idea, but I don't know what to do within town right now other than to fumble around aimlessly: It'd make for a pretty embarrassing date!

> where did you originate from anyway?
Boole. It's a decent-sized town, which is to say, many times bigger than Whisker.

> travel time between places
"About four days-ish of brisk walking for any town circling Whisker... assuming everything goes smoothly! Whisker is a notably safe place, while the same can't be said for the rest of Fuzz. There is a rather jarring change in the amount of, uh, unfriendly wildlife past a certain point."

> escorts she can recommend
"You don't have any? Uh. Well, you wouldn't have much luck with us cats, but I'm sure the clods would get a kick out of helping you."

> are any of them places you would want to avoid?

"Hmm. The close by towns have their quirks.

Lorne has the dogs. Don't go there. While it's pretty tame in terms of monsters (though not quite Whisker-safe), the dogs aren't our friends. I've heard a couple of us cat-folk have managed to get on their good sides before, but I personally wouldn't count on it. Could be bias speaking, but I hear they hold monsterous grudges, regardless.

Munch has the nastiest wildlife, but friendly and supportive townsfolk, I hear. Probably a good place to make helpful friends, and it is populated by the frogs. They've had a rough history of having their kindness used and abused, so I'd recommend being tactful around them.

The towns sandwiched inbetween don't have citizens as sensitive as the other two, but word is much more likely to be spread between them all from there."

I will see the Mayor next, if nothing else is to be done here.

Right then. You've got 3 gold, is that much money? Are you any good at fighting, and do you have a weapon the Eye Guy didn't mention?

Heading to Caspi sounds like a fine choice for our travel plans, as it's on the way. Let's at least see the sights around town before we do that though. Maybe get a good night's sleep before traveling, too, in one of the public houses.

Also we should probably try asking a Clod at some point about hiring an escort.

All right. How we doing for traveling supplies. You got what you need, or do we need to buy stuff? And can you afford to buy stuff, or do we have to do some work for someone first?

So why are you traveling to Gnawthorpe?

I did this thingy a favicon, you can find the thing right here: http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/66907.html#i70803
I probably got colors wrong, but that should be pretty easily remedied if that is the case. I am enjoying the quest so far, and am looking forward to seeing what happens next!

I'm guessing that the darker green in the sox map is where you are more likely to run into monsters and if I'm right then unless you can get a good escort I think you would be better off heading to Num as it seems to be out of the dark green monster area and still isn't a dog town. If the darker shade of green doesn't mean anything however then just go to Caspi then.

But that's something to worry about later for now lets see the mayor to see if you can't get a place for the night and then in the morning let's buy supplies for the trip and depending on where we go maybe an escort.

>So why are you traveling to Gnawthorpe?
Put simply: for a change. The towns donning "thorpe" are multi-racial and the only towns in Fuzz in which permenantly moving in to isn't considered taboo. Moving back to Boole is also an option, albeit an incredibly shameful one, but I care little.


>Are you any good at fighting, and do you have a weapon the Eye Guy didn't mention?
I'm... good at running! Very good at running. I've never even handled a weapon before...

I do have claws, but I would only consider using them as a last ditch effort. I don't want to get within scratching range if it means getting in to mauling, tearing, ripping-apart range for anything else.

>Also we should probably try asking a Clod at some point about hiring an escort.
I'm torn here. Going in to monster-polluted lands without any kind of assistance is asking for trouble. But approaching a clod for anything is absolutely begging for trouble.

>You've got 3 gold, is that much money?
A decent amount. 100 copper makes a silver, 100 silver makes a gold. Four days' worth of food would be 60 silver. A standard weapon, like an iron sword, would cost 3 gold.

>And can you afford to buy stuff, or do we have to do some work for someone first?
I have under the bare minimum for travelling. Working for someone would be a good idea.

>How we doing for traveling supplies. You got what you need, or do we need to buy stuff?
Only the core things pop in to mind: food, water, weapons. Not sure about what else.

"What kind of areas are enroute between here and Caspi?"
"Hmmm. Caves, definitely, for any route. Caspi in particular? No idea. All I know is to expect marshlands for Munch, and meadows for Lorne."

Make that food, water, weapons, lanterns, ropes and other cave-y explorer-y things.

They make games up on the fly, so the deadliness of them... varies. However, from what I understand, there have been little to no deaths caused by playing a clod's game. Hospitalization, though? Sure. Very often, in fact!

> Where in the sweet underworld did the clods come from.

Acquisition of a pair of pants would seem the easiest. Or perhaps some shoes? Socks as well maybe.

Wait, we have to buy a new outfit in every town you're going to visit? But you're traveling! You don't have room to carry around a wardrobe, or the money to spare. I mean, I guess doing it once would be okay if we got good practical clothing that helped with traveling...

Well.

I say we get the bombs, a blood pack, a water pack, your weapon of choice (bow or mace or sword), 15 days of bah bread, 15 days of weird water, and one set of either awesome almonds or fantastic fish. (and possibly one light potion since we're going to go through caves)

Tell him you thought that was the point- that you had to buy clothing from multiple towns or something in order to gain permanent residency in any town other than your own.

Well, if he's giving stuff away, I see no reason not to stock up.

Assuming we don't have inventory slot or weight capacity concerns to worry about, get a sword, some bombs, a blood bag, water bag, and the bow and arrow.

>...Do you even live here? I'm not sure if I should sell anything to you, strange stranger.

>Light Potion
Bella mentioned that it follows anything the liquid comes in to contact with, and illuminates the drinker as they move.

>Scout Monster
Bella also says it persists indefinitely. Indefinitely, that is, until it is killed by something else, which really varies on how attentive aggressors may be.

>Inventory slot, weight capacity
There are no inventory restrictions. Well... aside from having to keep track of everything.

>Ask Morty if you would have to pay for the items tomorrow if you get them now. (pretty sure it's a trick)
It is obnoxiously suspicious, yeah. I asked him, and he assures me that all items gotten for free today will remain free forever. If it's a trick, it's a pretty clumsy and stupid one.

>Get these items
3x Light Potion
5x Bombs
1x Blood-pellet Bag
1x Water-pellet Bag
1x Bow, Mace or Sword
15x Days 'Bah' Bread
15x Days Weird Water
5x Days Awesome Almonds or Fantastic Fish

Assuming I purchase the Mace or Sword...
Totals 10G 60S 0C, ignoring Morty's deal.
Totals 2G 6S 0C, taking Morty's deal.

Is this alright?

I don't have to purchase or take the deal for all of Morty's items, and I may get items whenether I wish as I move around Whisker.

>What
"What do you mean, 'what'? What yourself. I've never seen you before."

>Which uh... mouth does he say that with?
"My only one? Why are you spouting nonsense?"

>What species?
"Pest. No wait, that's you."

>Tell him that you had to buy clothing from multiple towns or something in order to gain permanent residency in any town other than your own.
"If that's true, then I've not been told. Why should I believe you, a complete stranger?"

>But, but the mayor said I was supposed to buy clothing because I was an outsider! I thought outsiders having to buy clothes to show respect was a thing or something?
"Ridiculous. Stupid. I do not serve outsiders, and that is not the truth. Now, will you be leaving?"

we will return with a witness. and the egg will be all over your face.

Hey, look, I think we're overcomplicating things here.

You sell clothes. I want to buy clothes, and I've got the money for it. Does it really matter that I'm an outsider? ...and if it does, is there anything I can do to make you feel better about it?

I wonder if the mayor's intentionally put you into a catch-22.

I think we should just go confirm what we're supposed to do. Talk to the mayor again and ask how you're supposed to buy clothes if the clothes merchants won't sell to strangers.

>>514973

We're going to need a lot of egg.

>>515047
Or one really big egg.

>>515100
Unless that's some therapeutic thing that'd help with this guy's face; we need proof of acclaimation here. Probably written. Squadala your tail back to the mayor or somebody that can get you a warrant for fine tailoring.

>>515100

When did I say anything about eggs in plural?

>>514971
Call out to the Clod, they'll come running, and they ALL know about your quest.

>>515195

Implying they didn't tell the dressmaker to shun you.

Hang on a tick. Why can't you just ask whether you could come to an accommodation?

This is classic fetch quest material. Go from one person to the other, finding something they want, until you finally get it and you're able to solve the chain of quests.

>>515148
>Squadala your tail back to the mayor

I'm totally stealing your use of 'Squadala' as a verb.

"Of COURSE it does. I would be making many, many people very, very angry! Get it through your head: doing anything for you, mister outsider, would be illegal and I would be punished. Get out of my shop. Get out of Whisker!"

>is there anything I can do to make you feel better about it?
"NO."

I'll leave him to seethe quietly. Time to eggsit.

>Squadala your tail back to the mayor
"...You're back. Why?"

>ask how you're supposed to buy clothes if the clothes merchants won't sell to strangers
"If you're wanting to buy regular clothing, then I regret our merchant probably hasn't been informed about your quest. In fact, not many of our services have been. Get a clod to verify your position with them."

>get a warrant for fine tailoring
"Dealings with tailors is sensitive grounds, and I lack the power to intefere. Your quest is arranged by the clods of Mook, not the cats of Whisker."

>I wonder if the mayor's intentionally put you into a catch-22.
That seems irritatingly likely. I don't blame the mayor, though. I blame those idiots.

>This is classic fetch quest material.
It looks like I'm being set up for a chain of tasks... odd for clods. I didn't think they'd have the attention span to plan anything elaborate. There's probably a way to bypass it all... definitely bound to be a glaring flaw somewhere.

>>516029
Ask him about Morty's deals?

Tell the mayor: "GIVE ME YOUR CLOTHES"

>Ask him about Morty's deals
"No need to be concerned, this is not unusual, nor is he conning you. He is simply in an interesting position, much like a certain someone else."

>Tell the mayor: "GIVE ME YOUR CLOTHES"
But they suit him!

Something feels off. And not just because I considered yelling obscene things at the mayor, either. No... something I've been told.

>>516235
I see the loophole. You need the clothes, but it doesn't say YOU have to buy them. You can get someone else to buy them for you.

>>516260

Yeah and the mayor will do it for you if you just fetch something for him first. Fetch quest gooooo

Hang on. "If you're wanting to buy regular clothing"? What is clothing we can buy that is NOT regular?

>>516260
>>516298
>A participant is only to purchase clothing from a single tailor per town.

I guess the plan must be
>find fetch quest
>do fetch quest for money
>find native to serve as middleman
>do fetch quest for native to serve as middleman

>Hang on. "If you're wanting to buy regular clothing"? What is clothing we can buy that is NOT regular?
"Heheheheh. D'awwwww."
"Ah. Only clothing from officially verified tailors is acceptable, and clothing from any other vendor or source is regarded as being invalid."
"What."
"There are few verified tailors. Possibly only enough so that you would need to meet specific people for specific clothing articles. In Whisker, there is only one. And I hear having only one tailor per town is the norm."
"How do I know they're valid?"
"I think any truth-benders will soon learn not to inconvenience a tailor."
"Uh. Okay, so what does the tailor in Whisker make?"
"Shoes."

...

The shoemaker. Wait... shoemakers. Two of them. This is a trick, isn't it? A really obvious, unfunny trick.

"Mayor. There are two shoemakers in this town. Do not mess me around: which one is the real deal?"
"It will be obvious. If you have no further questions. Run along, now. Return only when you wish to return your key."

I find myself losing my patience. Rapidly.

...The shoemaker on the right is not home. However, the shoemaker on the left...

"Welcome."
"Hello. Are you a verified tailor?"
"No, and that is a good thing. Bye."

Same story.

I've looked back on this quest, and I have to say: oops and sorry. I'm putting it down.

I didn't anticipate to produce a big lump of exposition, and poor planning of my behalf is to blame. The suggestions in the face of this were really great though, so thanks to everyone for being cool and creative despite the clunky information they were fed. I almost feel guilty for voiding allll your efforts! Hohoho.

I'mma gonna go back to suggesting questin' as opposed to makin' questin' for now, and I'll better plan any future quests, if any. I'LL BE WATCHING.

>>516462
What? but- dammit.

awwww

>>516462
It was pretty good. I liked the art style a lot. I hope to see another quest of your eventually.
