Soooo this was originally gonna be a birthday gift, then Christmas, but as you can tell I've been busy recently. Finally however, I've got a nice little fan story and fan art for Polt of his quest 30 UPDATES OR LESS!
...Again. Look, it's just a fun quest to do fan stuff for.
---
Jerry was starting to get the impression that these larpers were going to be regular hassles. He sighs, as the opossum aims her staff towards him.
Pam: I am PAMTHEON! THE GODDESS OF NOURISHMENT!
Pam: I come demanding tribute from those who have received my blessings!
Pam: Will you feed me, as I have fed you?
Blake: *Squawk* Feed her! Feed her!
Gerbera: Blessings? Wait, did we take food from her?
Jerry thinks back to some of their previous situations. There had been that perfectly baked pie sitting on the windowsill that you used to get rid of those cultists before. He’s still not sure how you angered The Questioners of The Chicken Who Crosses The Road, but it had been hell getting them off their backs.
Still, there was no proof that the pie he’d thrown in the cultist’s face had actually come from this supposed goddess, so Jerry tells Gerbera that they hadn’t.
Gerbera: Oh. Then we can just go, right?
Pam: NAY! Thou has been blessed, and thou WILL pay tribute to the goddess! Lest thee be smited by her wrath…
Blake: *Squawk* Pay tribute! Pay tribute! *Squawk* A pie for a pie!
Ah. So it had been theirs. He’d apologize for the theft if they weren’t trying to rob them.
Pam: Pamtheon can see that you clearly have a suitable gift on-hand. Is she wrong in assuming…
She sniffs the air, before smiling widely.
Pam: Yes… Teriyaki chicken and mushrooms with *sniff* *sniff* Oooh~! Stuffed crust~!
Pam: Pamtheon must have it! In return you will be blessed with the greatest of fortune as a reward.
It seems more likely to Jerry that they’ll be blessed with immediate termination if they give the pizza up that easily.
They could run, but unfortunately the moped is in the shop. Pretty hard to flee from a car on foot. Maybe if they went down a narrow alley, but such a detour could last multiple updates without making any real progress towards their destination. It’s too early in the delivery to start wasting time. He’d much rather waste that time with his friends at the checkpoint…
Gerbera: PSST!
Jerry tells them that if they whisper that loudly, they may as well just shout.
Gerbera: Oh, sorry. I just wanted to say that I think I know a way out of this SITUATION
He raises an eyebrow, but Gerbera’s expression seems relatively confident still. Jerry pauses, considering if he even wants to humor the plant’s idea. Obviously Jerry is more experienced, and could likely come up with something better than whatever Gerbera was thinking.
…Curiosity gets the better of him. Certainly not the hopeful eyes of his coworker begging for the chance to prove themselves. Jerry nods, giving Gerbera the go ahead.
With a wide grin, Gerbera reaches deep in their hammerspace pocket and pulls out a TREMENDOUS PAPER FAN!
Jerry asks why Gerbera even has such a thing.
Gerbera: I saw it at the store and thought it could come in handy.
“For what” is what Jerry wants to ask. Instead, he just sighs and lets Gerbera explain themselves.
