NightFlame22 • Chandraneela • Jay

Jay facepalmed as the weasel scampered away. “Figures something like this would happen. Never fear! I’m going to get that ring back!” He puffed out his chest and approached it, staring it down as he drew nearer. When he was within pouncing distance, he smirked and shook his head. “Sorry Mr. Weasel, but I need that ring you have there!” He jumped, paws outstretched to catch the sly creature, but it ran out of harm’s way before he could catch it. Jay growled and crashed right into the wall.

“Jay, are you alright?” Chandra looked at him worriedly, taking a couple steps forward.

The other kalon sat up slowly, rubbing his head and muttering under his breath. “I’m fine. Just gotta catch the blasted thing.” He narrowed his eyes, scanning for the weasel and grinning when he found it under a table. He sprinted towards it, moving as fast as his legs could take him. While the weasel wasn’t exactly bigger or faster, it was certainly smarter, and it simply wove in and out of the tables and chairs as it ran away. Jay ended up crashing through about half the chairs due to his larger size, and as he was turning a corner he upended a table with a half-empty drink resting on it. The drink was tossed into the air and found its way to Jay’s head, spilling its contents all over him.

Chandra tried to hold back a snicker as she watched his antics. “Are you sure you don’t want some help, dear?” She glanced at the weasel before looking back at him. “Two sets of paws might be better than one.”

“I’m fine, thanks.” Jay grit his teeth, now glaring at the weasel. “That was the last time you make a fool of me!” He took off once more, apparently not having learnt his lesson from the first couple times. After a bit of chasing, he managed to trap the weasel in a corner. He stood in front of it, breathing hard from all the running and grinning a bit menacingly. “Aha! I’ve got you now, fiend!” He didn’t even have to take a step forward before the weasel dashed between his legs, causing him to fall over once again. “Oof!”

Chandra chuckled a little and came over to Jay, giving his head a couple pats. “Why don’t you let me handle this one?” She approached the weasel slowly, still keeping a good distance between them so she wouldn’t scare it off, but also making sure it could see and hear her. “Alright, little one. I’d say you’ve caused enough trouble for one day.” She held up the paw with two golden bracelets and gave it a little shake, her bangles flashing and clinking against each other. The little treasures caught the weasel’s eye, and it took a couple tentative steps forward. When Chandra didn’t attack it, it continued its approach, and she let it walk right up to her as though she didn’t see it. Just as it tried to steal her bracelets, she quickly grabbed it and snatched the ring away. “Now no more mischief from you! Go on home.” She released the creature and walked back over to Briceus and Jay with the ring.

“You got lucky,” Jay grumbled, but he had a small smirk on his face. “I would’ve thought of that eventually!”

Chandra laughed and nodded. “I know, dear. But it was taking a while for you to figure that out.” She handed the ring to Briceus and smiled. “There you go! One ring for luck. Just don’t lose it again!”

The plan had been simple enough: one, get Briceus to talk to the stranger, two, pretend that you'll talk to the other stranger but RUN AWAY AS QUICK AS YOU CAN! That sounds easy, and it would have been too if not for the weasel. When Bri emerged from behind the counter he came around a meter and then the priceless lucky ring was gone.

Floor who realized as soon as the victim of the crime opened his mouth to spout some random frantic words he didn't have time to listen to that he had to catch that furry little thief. He dashed after the weasel immediately and shouting "I've got it! I'll get it!" over his shoulder.

He first had to jump over the counter in behind the bar to follow the path of the weasel. It then crawled through a small hole in the wall and Floor forgot one important thing as he ran towards the wall: he can't go through walls. After slamming into the wall, he tried the door instead, a much safer option in everyone's opinion, and was right in time to see the thief make it's escape through one of the half open windows. Not having a second to spare the slightly reckless kalon dived out the window, scraping up his knees and hands but not stopping because he needed that ring!

The weasel had turned into an alleyway and Floor was hot on its tail. Just as it was going to slink into a relatively large crack in a wall the young kalon did not catch the weasel, but Briceus did. He had followed after them but instead of foolishly throwing himself out a window he had taken the back door. 'Clever,' Floor thought.

"Help me with this thing, will you? I need my ring back!" said Briceus, desperately trying to not get bitten, clawed or kicked by the small but ferocious critter.

"Don't worry! I'll get the ring away from this beast!" Floor shrieked while wrestling the piece of metal out of the clutches of the weasel. He managed to get it with only a few bloody scrapes as payment. "You can let it go now."

The angry weasel was released under loud chattering and Briceus got his ring handed back to him. If he had been able to see his eyes Floor was sure that they'd be sparkling with happiness over getting his lucky piece of jewelry back.

Once back inside The Devils Gate again, Floor asked the important questions.
"Soo, now that you've got the ring back. Are you talking to them? And do you happen to have some bandages? I'm bleeding."

Mike had slid into the bar to buy a glass of water before he caught up with the rest of his team outside, but, of course, fate would not have it that way. The intricate woodwork along the sides of the building caught Mike's eye, and the male took a moment to trace them with his eyes. He loved little details like this- after all, details were his entire job. Without details, a story sucks. After figuring out the best way to describe the engraved boards, he continued on his path to the bartender. Mike plopped himself onto a bench, inspecting the wood grain of the table in front of him. A panicky-looking pink and blue kalon bustled over, looking quite upset. "Oh- ah me, d-dearie! Th-this is preposterous." The bartender muttered under their breath.

Mike raised an eyebrow, but didn't question it. "May I have a glass of water?"

"A g-glass of water? In my pub?" The bartender seemed offended, but trotted away shaking their head, returning moments later with the requested drink. Mike sipped at it, but the bartender continued staring at him. Suddenly, Mike realized he forgot to pay. With a sheepish grin, the kalon pulled a piece of silver out of his pocket, placing it on the table. "I don't want that," the bartender complained, and Mike pulled out a second silver piece. "Not money."

Confused, Mike pocketed both of the silver pieces. The bartender leaned closer, until Mike could smell their musty breath. "That mangy weasel stole my ring."

"...You want me to get your ring back...?" Mike questioned. The bartender nodded furiously, their voice almost a hiss.

"Yesssss..."

Alright, they said a weasel took it. Did they mean an actual weasel, or just a shady figu- At that moment, the weasel in question dashed across the table, almost knocking over Mike's glass of water. Goodness, an actual weasel! The blue kalon began to think. Let's see... weasels like fresh meat... if I can get it to notice the meat, it might drop the ring long enou-

"What are you d-doing?! Catch it!" The bartender looked confused.

Mike shook his head. "Weasels are too fast for me to grab- I'm planning. Do you have any fresh meat?" The bartender opened his mouth, presumably to say no.

Gale chose that moment to practically break down the door of the bar, charging in and screaming, the gremlin she had stolen off the streets clinging to her robes for dear life. "Mike are you dying!? We'll save ya, buddy!"[b] Adelaide stood a few feet away, shaking her head with her paw to her face. Mike was tempted to facepalm, too. Sometimes Gale was a bit much.

[b]"No, I'm not dying. Do you have any raw meat with you?" Mike's voice was calm. He was used to dealing with the peppy female. Adelaide, unfortunately, was not, having just met Mike and Gale two days prior.

Gale paused, making sure that nothing was killing her best friend before shuffling through her bag. "Umm, yeah. Here." A gob of raw meat was placed directly into Mike's outstretched paw. Mike looked around, spotting an empty corner with no patrons, and tossed the meat into the shadowy space. "Hey! That was perfectly good me-" Mike raised a paw to shush Gale, and her jaws clamped shut.

Moments passed, and a brown blur charged towards the meat, a shine of gold in its jaws. Gale's eyes widened, and she dashed over, leg at ready to punt the beast across the room and out the window. Adelaide grabbed her arm before she could go all Aaron Rodgers on the poor creature, giving Gale a stern look. Mike got up, quietly padding towards the weasel. When he got close enough, his arm darted out and he closed his paws around its midsection. The weasel began to struggle, trying to bite Mike's paw. It dropped the ring. Mike let the weasel go, and it hissed before dashing away. Bending down, the male picked up the gold band and handed it to the bartender. "Here's your ring. Thanks for the water."

Ico is taken by surprise to see the rodent run off with a simple piece of jewelry. Briceus wasn't going to talk to the nice looking stranger until he was fully confident, so Ico had to be determined. "Lets go!" He calls, leading Ixion after the weasel into the streets and all around town.
Ixion was fast, but the weasel was faster as the two chased after it only to smack head first into a hole with nothing but the scent of weasel to remind them they'd failed. "Can't use magic without Allariia, so what now?" Ixion sat with his arms crossed, flicking an ear occasionally with thought.
Ico however had already brewed up his first idea that no creator could resist; food. The two went out and gathered berries and nuts before returning them and laying them outside the nest.
After a moment, it's brown head poked out, twitched a few whiskers and ducked back in. Hm, smarter than he looked... Next Ico removed one of his golden bracelets and set in outside the burrow hoping he might be interested in something even more shiny. Again a little head popped up, wiggled it's nose and went back inside.
Huffing, the two kept placing random items around it's den, trading out failed items for new ones with no luck. Finally, Ixion stood up. "Wait here, I have one more idea." Returning to the bar he asked for a cloth, one used to wipe down tabled or used glasses. Joining Ico after retrieving the item, the weasel popped out of the hole with the ring around his tail.
Ixion crouched down, waving the cloth to get and keep his attention while Ico carefully removed the ring with the tips of his claws. The weasel could obviously feel it, but he was more interested in the bar cloth. Snatching it from Ixion and darting back into his hole, the two travelers felt a wave of happiness at their success, later presenting the ring to Briceus.
"I think he likes the smell of your establishment." Says Ico, handing the lucky ring over.

"Sure thing. I'll go get the weasel!" as Seneca saw the weasel taking off. He soon bolted after it, his six legs pounding into the ground, with Briceus after him. The weasel ran and darted at the corners, as the two kalons chased it around and around. They had nearly lost the weasel several times, only to have it reappear at the corner of their eye as the chase went on. After running all around town, they soon ran through a meadow area, where they lost it. "Hm... wonder where it went. The hole should be over h- AAAAGHH! " Seneca shouted as his foot slipped right into a hole, as Briceus watched. Seneca, who quickly got his paw out, holding a weasel with a ring in its mouth. "Is this ring it?" Seneca asked, and to his surprise it wasn't the one. "Well," as Seneca looked down into the hole with a stash of jewelry, "This might take awhile...". During the next hour, they dug up several holes, none of which had Briceus' ring anywhere (and they even checked twice).

"If the weasels here don't have it, who does?" Seneca asked him, out of breath from running and digging. He could see the worried expression in Briceus' eyes, but Seneca couldn't help him. Where was that ring anyways?! A feeling of being defeated, they headed back but a kit caught their attention.

"Hello sir. Do you know who owns this ring?" the kit questioned the townspeople that were walking by. "No? Ah, okay." she responded. "I think the kit has my ring! Let's go see if she does!" Briceus exclaimed. Seneca, going after Briceus was thinking the kit looked familiar...

It took a awhile to navigate the crowds, but they managed to get to her. Now that Seneca got a good look, the kit was someone he knew. "Alice?! What are you doing here? I thought you were being babysitted at home?" Seneca worriedly asked her.

"Hey! I'm fine, I just snuck out for a bit of fun. I found these cool things that let me walk on water. I found this neat ring also."

"Alice, that's Briceus's ring? How did you get it from the weasel?" Seneca asked.

"Oh! It dropped it right in front of as it was running." Alice said, handing the ring to Briceus. "I guess you can have it back. I don't wear rings anyways."

Heading back to the bar, Seneca saw the stranger hadn't left yet, which was good. However he had more important things to worry about, such as how to explain why Alice got here to her dad...

Quest response;;
When Ragiel had first wandered into the bar, he didn't expect this bartender nor a wild hunt for a weasel five minutes into his visit. And all he wanted was one of those good looking drinks! But not to worry. Ragiel was a bandit; surely, plundering a ring back from a weasel was not a problem?

Ragiel was rather wrong in his assumptions. The entire bar would be torn to pieces if Ragiel wasn't careful. In fact, it probably would have been if not for the memories of both Sen's and Ulyana's warnings to think first.

It didn't stop him from breaking a lamp, though, when the weasel got awfully close, the ring glittering just between its mocking white teeth. He dived - breaking his pattern of watching the weasel with his eyes and attempting to snatch it with his paws. "You won't get away!" Ragiel shouted between his clenched canines, the words grating to his own ears as far too cliche. Naturally, the weasel was far out of reach. Ragiel had ought to step up his game. How long had it been now? Five minutes? It felt like he'd been chasing this devil incarnate for hours.

Time to get serious, Ragiel thought. He pulled out a throwing knife and hit the tail, the weasel squealing in pain and freezing in terror as blood leaked from around the wound. Huh. That seemed to have worked.

He strolled up, plucked the (dented) ring from the weasels teeth, and plopped it into the bartenders hands before regarding the weasel warily. Someone was yelling that yes, that was their pet - what did you do?? Think fast, Ragiel. It's clear you need Ulyana to heal the weasel, Ragiel.

He removed and cleaned his throwing knife, and placated the weasel owner by promising to bring his friend to heal the weasel soon. Anyways, it's tail was hardly a critical body part, was it? The owner didn't seem happy when he said that..
