Wonders of Vanadiel in just 1 day

StardustDiamond is all grown up now... and so blue. :oAfter a longish time of only occasionally dropping in to see a movie about an apparently orphaned chocobo growing up in Pulonono's care, today was finally the time for some real adventures. In just 1 day Pasifika went through pretty much all of the things she ever does... starting with checking on the chocobo, and then continuing with Pasifika's corageuos war efforts: cleaning up Windurst Waters [S].

That mean Guy Llewellyn took away one of Pasifika's medals because of the little "vacation" she had, but after a couple of campaign battles in Sarutabaruta and some cleaning duty, she's now finally considered to be worthy of the medals she has. Just them and no more, but that's enough for now - the tug-of-war with the evaluation officer over the medals is a normal part of Pasifika's life. So... what next...

The best landmark: a familiar back! :DA friend came along, and Pasifika spent a good while just chatting, and finally decided to follow her friend to Eldieme [S] - it's quest time! While this wasn't the back Pasifika is used to following around, the whole thing seemed very... familiar. Ametrine kindly guided Pasifika to Eldieme and right to the person who starts the quest - and just then the campaign battle begun! The San d'Orian knights were attacking, but... the whole thing only lasted two minutes (max!) and the knights never appeared... one of Vanadiel's many mysteries! :O
I wonder if it kept glowing if I could take a teeny weeny piece to my Mog House...
After recieving good advice about being careful and using sneak & invisible, Pasifika ventured into the heart of Fort Karugo-Narugo all by herself. Luckily, there were no nasty monsters to vanquish, but instead a taru to talk to. Easy! :D Pasifika even had time to stop and wonder the shining round platformsHey, where do you think you're going? (again)... They're pretty, but they must have some use besides their ornamental value... What do they do?! Pasifika also had a very random encounter with the mysterious Piscean Casters, who were just running through like they always do. o_o

Pasifika returned to the quest-giver and was thinking about waiting for another battle in Eldieme, when she got a party invite. As always, she replied with "Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass." The party leader didn't give up, however, and Pasifika agreed to help until he could find someone else.Spooky... but prettty. ^^ The leader was ah-so-grateful and Pasifika followed the party to the spooky Caedarva Mire - where it became perfectly clear why Pasifika doesn't party. ;>_> (Doesn't like to party -> won't do it -> is bad at it -> doesn't like it -> won't...) The leader patiently gave Pasifika advice about keeping the tank alive and other fine points of being the main healer, but after a while the party got a great pull of two Jnuns and an imp, and most of the party died. At that point the leader told Pasifika she could go, although he still assured her he was very grateful for the, erm, help. Another whm took over, apparently, but Pasifika warped out as soon as she got permission and had rest of the party Raised. Another member of the party sent tells afterwards, apologising for not being able to help and assuring Pasifika had done "her best". How sweet! ^^;Do you see an imp here? I don't see an imp here. Does it mean there isn't an imp here? I don't think so... Hopefully he didn't think Pasifika left because the "lucky" pull got her killed, because she was far more worried about getting all the others killed. -_-;

So, after the mini-party, Pasifika had about half a minute of free time in her Mog House before Lina asked her out to play. Pasifika geared up her little utsusemi-less ninja and together with Lina she slaughtered her way to Tahrongi and even Buburimu. With Lina's adventuring fellow Feliz tanking, the tough rarabs were no match to the trio! Pasifika did get a good dose of death and excitement, though, and she also met some very kind strangers who were ready to come to distant corners to give her a Raise, or two.Friends! :D

Trolls were kindly preparing an attack to Aht Urghan just when Pasifika had some time in her hands, and she went to Al Zahbi to await the troll horde's arrival. It was so much fun! Pasifika met some old friends, and some new ones too, so waiting for the trolls to figure outReady to go! their map was very nice. Pasifika was first greeted by a hugging taru and a dancing elvaan, and more friends gathered as the trolls came closer. :D The Besieged itself was fun, too, in a party of friends. ^__^

Pasifika was ready to call it aPoor kitty... day ay this point, but little Donthitme and his friends were camping a big bad cat in the Labyrinth of Onzozo, and Pasifika joined them for a while. The wanted cat didn't appear, though, but the party killed a good deal of the regular ones (poor kitties!) and a colourful bunch of manticores, goblins and such on top of that. Nice weapon skill training, and pretty exciting, even though this time the notorious monster got away.

Well, isn't that about all there is to being an adventurer? (Adventurer a la Pasifika, at least. x) An ocasional mission here and there, and some rearranging of furniture on the Mog House, maybe... some sight-seeing, too, although there was a good deal of that involved in these adventure as well.. but there can never be to much of it. ;P I'm sure there's something else I'm not remembering, but it'll all come back to me when I adventure more. ;D
