A refreshing nap

"Mercenaries are trained to sleep anywhere, 

anytime if the opportunity presents itself."

Naja Salaheem

Pasifika seems to be an exemplary mercenary, considering how soundly she napped through a very important meeting of some of the most powerful beings in these parts of the world!

Someone else took some naps as well... but he soon got back up. Rarely has Pasifika fought against anyone who actually has the common sense to have reraise on... look, he's getting up again!

But perhaps all those weird events were a dream... the mission, fighting, meeting some very important people (and they though Pasifika's regular adventuring attire was good and proper enough for such a meeting - well, without her weapons)...

...getting back the crown Pasifika was awarded earlier...

But apparently it was a nightmare, after all, because there was Naja's signature engraved inside Pasifika's shiny crown. D:

Promyvions revisited

The Promyvions used to be interesting and even scary places. I remember so well the excitement, and all the planning, strategy and discipline that went into preparing for a Promy run... not so much the actual details, though, just the athmosphere. And the fact that everyone protected the white mage with their very lives.

Now Lina and Pasifika "helped" someone go through all the three Promys in one go. The main problem was, that the old guides didn't work anymore, because all the dangers they warned of, all the strategies they suggested, everything was out of date and useless.

The new "strategy" is to run up, give a sound beating to the boss, and move on to next, so no actual help was needed, just pointers about what needed to be done. It's not dangerous anymore, not exciting... barely fun, and even that is starting to wear thin after a couple of runs. ;_;




The place is still as strange as ever, enchanting and weird, and running around inside the Promyvions unafraid is a treat of sorts.


And then there's this, which is fun in it's own way. >:D

Just like old days

Or almost, at least.

Pasifika has practiced looking on as someone else soloes stuff, like prime avatars and such. This time it was the mission dragon and a BLU soloing it. (No, not the taru. It was Astarael.)

As always, Pasifika waited at the sidelines, ready to step in, an as luck would have it (very bad luck for our hero the BLU, that is) Pasifika did get a chance to cast some cures and kite the clumsy dragon around for a moment while petrify wore off. :D

There's no place like home

After making all three nations safe (for tarutarus!), Pasifika can finally return home...

After seeing the grandeur of San d'Oria, the efficiency of Bastok, visiting Jeuno and Whitegate, of course, and adventuring in countless strange, exotic and wondrous locations, there's still no place like home.



(This post was started right after the switch back to Windurst, but got a bit delayd by the preparations of the grand summer spectacle... but better late than never, right?)

Galkas everywhere~ o_o

Most Bastok missions revolve around the Galkas - not suprisingly. They pop up everywhere, and it seems the Humes actually have only a rather faint idea of what's going on.

These missions double as lessons of Galkan history, too. The adventurers were dispathed to explore the caves under Altepa Desert, and they ended up finding ancient murals depicting the sad tale of the Anticans driving the Galkas from their original home. So tragic, and so ancient... (Hmmm perhaps General Phu saw these wall before Galkas doodled all over them...)


Before the history lesson there were some Anticans to defeat, however. Pasifika and Lina were helped by a wonderful puppet, and a Hume that came along with it.
Oh, I can't go through with that... Thanks Astarael~~ ^_^

When you think of Bastok you think of Galkas, and the other way around... but Pasifika also befriended a cool San d'Orian Galka - in the icy North, appropriately. :o

But that was actually another adventure altogether... where was I?

After the Anticans in the tunnel... a gigantic slime in another tunnel. And it turned into lots of smaller slimes, more and more of them... o_o

But we beat the slimes, thank you for all the help!

Now we're nearing the final showdown, and after that... all three corners of the world will be safe fot Tarutarus!! :D

Soon Pasifika can return home to Windurst, to the familiar lo~ng winding roads, Tarutarus flocking all around, gentle breeze from the sea whispering in the palm trees... *_*

Tarutarus~! ...I mean, missions!

When Pasifika's tarutaru-sense tingled, she knew there was a party somewhere, with a tarutaru-content of at least 50 %, and it was in some kind of trouble!

Pasifika's premonitions lead her to Crawler's Nest, where a taru ninja tank was battling evil crawlers with annoying sticky thread. :O With two other tarus, two humes and a galka, the party was managing, but not doing very well.

Pasifika to the rescue~!

The taru content of the party increased as time went by, and they were so~ cute. ^_^

Pasifika has been very busy helping tarus, entertaining Moogle and doing other similarly important tasks, but Lina reminded her that they should also do some national missions. Ah yes, Pasifika is a Bastoker now, and she should do her best to make sure the Republican areas are safe. Cid had asked for something a while back, what was it again...

First, Lina lead Pasifika to Ro'Maeve, and together they defeated an evil statue. The fight wasn't very hard, although there were some complications later, but all in all things went well, no problem.

Were everyone happy with this heroic feat? Not really... There were more problems just waiting to pop to the surface, and Lina and Pasifika were dispatched to the Palborough Mines to find a lost adventurer.

The trail lead to the burning circle, and there was a crowd there! :O

...but only Lina and Pasifika were interested in saiving poor Hani. ^^;

They did their best and managed to bring down one of the four quadavs, but after that they had to, er, retreat and regroup.



Luckily a great samurai came to help them, and the quadavs didn't stand a chance after that. :D

I'm keeping the crown

The final episode of Scrapped Pasifika - the last chapter of Pasifika's adventures in the magnificent kingdom of San d'Oria*:

*Scrapped Pasifika's plot may or may not have anything to do with what actually goes on in San d'Oria.
I'd say it has very little to do with it, but it's kind of hard to tell.

All that Elvaan plotting... @_@

Even though the royal family keeps stringing Pasifika on with promises of the throne and all, she will have to return to her beloved homeland Windurst some time soon to clear her head... But she had the crown when she came, so she'll keep it - and it's still *princess* Pasifika to you! ;P

Maybe just a little sidetrip to save Bastok, then home~

Kingdom in danger D:

And Pasifika!

Another episode of Scrapped Pasifika (but not the last one).

Stay tuned for the mind-boggling finale!

The plot thickens... again

But will it become a delicious soup of intrigue, or a horrid, clumpy porrige..?

I'm guessing the latter, but hey, porrige is good for you! ;P

Scrapped Pasifika

Here's another episode of the adventures of Pasifika, a hero of Windurst but also once practically the crown princess of San D'oria (by marriage) and now a sought-after adventurer - for various reason.

Scrapped Princess Pasifika (or SutePasi, as the hardcore fans call it, an abbreviation of the Japanese title) shows Pasifika and her friends deeply entwined in the intricate intrigue of the Elvaan kingdom...

Windurst is safe!

The beautiful federation is safe, because... why wouldn't it be? ^^;
Sure, Star Sibyl was unavailable to perform her duties for a while, but she was just, err, on a long, well-deserved vacation.


In her absence, Pasifika, Semih Lafihna and some other Windurstian dignitaries held lovely tea parties at the vestal chamber (and I hear Lina, Dhm and even Nakago and Catzen were invited at some point, too) - not at all emergency crisis meetings regarding some great threats to the federation.


The great gathering of the cardians..? Well, first of all, that was supposed to be a secret gathering, so mind your own business. :o And you know, of course it was just a drill! The cardians really need much more practice, because they didn't perform at all as they should... D:


In the end of it all, there was no great battle for the future of Windurst, pitting Pasifika and her friends agains powerful guardians ans mythical beasts. There's no way you could find a book anywhere in Windurst that tells of such things, and of Pasifika's courage, might and loyal devotion to her nation and the adorable Star Sibyl. No way indeed... because they hid it in the restricted section of the library. ;_;


Anyway, after Star Sibyl returned from her refreshing vacation and joined the tea party, she gave Pasifika a beautiful flag and promoted her to rank 10. She's a lovely lady, isn't she? :D

Rank Mission

Seeking to further help Windurst, Pasifika asked the guards for a mission... but they didn't have a proper one. Instead, they offered her one that hadn't been approved yet - sounds suspicious, right?

She inquired further, and found out, that doing this dubious "mission" would mean going behind the back of Semih Lafihna, and against the will or Star Sibyl herself. Treason! D: There's no way Pasifika would do that!
No way, so stop looking like that...

*Tarutaru puppy eyes*

You're our only hope...

Please...

Save the taru from the darkes of dungeons...

Please hurry!

I can't be a part of that... but I'll give you a hint. -_^

O~ohohohohoho~~

Ok, so the last one was just really scary, but all the others were very compelling. No way Pasifika would leave these cute tarus in a pinch!
She didn't even have to save them all by herself: Donthitme joined her - and the red mage division. :D So, we only need to travel around the world and defeat some monsters. Ok, let's go!

Here's the evil orc king, but not for long! And then...

Pasifika will be king! Er... queen? anyway, what shall we do next, my loyal minions? :D

Things got a bit sticky after a while, when Pasifika ran into both Semih Lafihna and some wild cardians. She was saved pretty mysteriously, but the mission wasn't quite as succesfull as Pasifika had hoped. ;_; She got a rank-up anyway for her valiant effort, but the manner of her promotion was quite bizarre. >_> Instead of recieving her honours in the Great Star Tree from the revered hands of her nation's leaders, she got her rank from under the counter in a dusty corner of Manustery. It' probably fake, somehow... ;>_>

Fascinating...

Still no idea what these all-important missions are really about, but theyre shiny~~ *_* ... and there are tarutarus! :o Something about saving the world... something, something.

After some very interesting and challenging missions, it's finally time for Pasifika to enter the place of legends... more commonly referred to as Sea. I can easily see why... o_O That fish is following me... o_o
Yes there *is* some actual land - I think - and even vegetation, such as trees, but most of the place is... fascinating. The creatures are equally puzzling, but fortunately Pasifika and her friends had a guide on their first tour to this wonderland, and they learned a lot. So, the red ones follow you, white ones get back up if killed, the blue ones attack from beneath the surface, and the, um, UFOs kill you. No, don't worry, they didn't kill Pasifika, but you know someone had to be sacrificed for these close-ups. :P
A warm thank you is in order to all who helped! :D

But what about the more important things in life?! Where are Pasifika's event furnishings? Why aren't they here yet, Moogle? I even defended you against three vicious tarutarus - they threatened to get you, you know! :O So, you're not thinking of keeping the furnishings yourself, are you? Why you little...!
...I mean, good lil' housekeeper, tell the MHMU Pasifika is eagerly waiting for those furnishings, ok? ^^;

Oh yeah, important things like getting to a new interesting area are always worth a little song and dance!


Yeah, its the same song as was used to celebrate access to Tavnazia, but you better get used to it - I like it a lot. :P

Almost too busy to write...

Adventuring with friends... could it get any better? :D Where should I start...

Well, let's start from the beginning: about 20 years ago, in the times when a great war raged all over Vana'diel, the beautiful city of Windurst lay in ruins. A child genius - a tarutaru, naturally - left the city on a foolhardy expedition all alone, and Pasifika was given the important and difficult task of tracking that taru down and babysitting him. No, really, it was harder than it sounds! :O Luckily another taru genius joined Lina and Pasifika, and together they defeated the monster that appeared. Well, 'together', as in, Pasifika watched closely. x)
Pasifika has also helped Windurst defend Sarutabaruta from the frequent attacks - because Saruta is home to the charming Tiny Lycopodiums. Linathra, Nakago and Donthitme often join her, and of course the 'NPC fighty people'.

Pasifika didn't get to keep the title "Ajido-Marujido's Minder" for long before she got involved in some Tavnazian troubles again, and turned into a "Frozen Dead Body". ;>_> But she wasn't frozen for long! She travelled all over the world, solving mysteries and fighting fearsome monsters. It seems that the very existence of Vana'diel may be at stake, but Pasifika has some very reliable and tough companions that'll surely prevent any apocalypse that threatens the world - and it's not just Ulmia, Prishe, Louverance and all the others who are tightly involved in this mess to start with, but Pasifika's own dear friends who bravely fight by her side to restore peace and order. This adventure still continues (on and on...), with new surprises waiting just around the corner.
Tavnazia doesn't mean just trouble, though... Phucrabiont took Pasifika there to a beautiful place for sightseeing... such an impressive view. ... aand on the way back they took revenge on two evil orcs that had killed Pasifika earlier. x)

Lina needed some keys from the undead of the Eldieme Necropolis, and Pasifika joined her and some friends to get them. The undead were easily banished, and while waiting for new ones to pop, Lina and Pasifika had time to examine the Hume bones that lay there. Don't they remind you of a Hume we once knew?

Pasifika, Lina, Nakago and little Dhm also entered the cold emptyness of Promyvion-Mea one day, at the request of their adventuring fellows. This time Pasifika finally managed to complete the quest for a map she had started ages ago... but the map's all blurry. ;_; It goes well with that weird place, though. ;P

Hmm... that's not all, a lot has happened recently... And when nothing else is going on, the besieged city of Al Zahbi is always a good place to meet friends... the gates are closed, they can't escape! xD
Most actually appreciate the chance of getting a raise, though. ;)
