Where oh where have I been?

I've not been anywhere.  

Maybe a story will appear one day.

Who knows.  

We will all just have to wait and see.  

The Adventures of Mr. Wiggles(not enough rage)

One day Mr. Wiggles and I set off for an adventure. Bloodmyst Isle has these crystals growing out of the ground. The glow is very warm and inviting. I was in search of a sample of the crystal, requested by someone doing research.

RAWR! I tried to scare Mr. Wiggles by changing into bear form. He just looked at me and continued to eat his grass that seems to appear out of no where. I tried to get him to place his head in my jaws. But he did not seem to like that idea. I think he would make a good snack. Bite sized bacon.

I decided to kill a few spies. Mr. Wiggles stood and watched, munching on grass. As you can see I did not have enough rage. I need more rage. You need more rage. Not enough rage. RAGE!!

Mr. Wiggles does not set a good example, he does not seem to have any rage.

Adventure? Well maybe not an adventure, more like a stroll in the wilderness. Mr. Wiggles... Rage... More rage for another day.

eggs eggs eggs

The moogles are back. And they are handing out eggs. I was lucky enough to find a great egg dealer. Roucian has all the letters that you will need.I took out my other eggs from storage. The newest ones do not glow, they make sounds. San d'Oria's plays music and Bastok's chimes. My favorite is the one from Windurst. It is a hatchling. These two big round eye peer out from it, you can see it blink occasionally and hear grrr grrr grrr.
My moogle better watch out if what ever is inside finally decides to break out of its shell.

Doll Festival

[Picture of pink trees will not be posted, I do not know where the screenshots are.]
The trees are blooming.


I found a Bonbori and Festival Dolls from M.H.M.U. in my mailbox. Now my moghouse is a glow with festival lanterns.

These dolls are kind of creepy. Their eyes are always on me no matter where I am in the moghouse.

MOOoooOoooo...

Myehehe...

Mew mew mew mew mew Meooow... Tulutululu~ Meow!


When I first got to Aht I met a little mithra girl, Ahkk. She really wanted something to write on. Today I remembered her wish and bought her some parchment and black ink.

She scribbled happily for a little while. She cheerfully talked to herself as she wrote things down to try and remember things. I was able to learn some information about Al Zahbi's back alleys. Hopefully this will help me get around the large city.

There are so many stairs, walkways, courtyards, doorways... a person can easily get lost.

Ohohoho...

Ohohoho...

Bwhahaha...

Gwahaha..

Starlight Celebration.

The moogles are back in town. Everything is sparkly and decorated for the Starlight Celebration. Moogles seem to be over worked.

They have many items to hand out but they don't seem to be giving them to the right people. Helping them finding the people they are looking for takes a while. The moogles don't seem to have a good memory.

I did get a Dream robe and Dream boots from them.

I also got three belts. The one I like the best is the Rabbit belt. I get to hop around in a bunny costume.

There were so many people surrounding the moogle. No wonder they are so confused.

It has been a long while since I have seen so much shouting in towns. And so many people running around in red.

The Smile bringers are are encouraging adventures to dress up to fool the children of Van'diel. Having people wear a red hat to hand out gifts to the children.

Y

Recently I have taken up a side job other than monk. I was training to be a monk to improve my abilities as a warrior. But decided that I would try thief. Seems odd to be defending myself with a dagger. I prefer a larger weapon, I especially like lances and tridents.

MOM!

While browsing the Jeuno auction house, to my surprise there stood Mom.



Mom seems to have interesting things to say. Quite shocking things about Galkas. I think mom really likes Galkas and wishes to be one. Actually.. Mom was try tell some tall tale of once being a Tarutaru long ago. What Tarutaru would want to spend their life being a Mithra?

Maybe mom took one of those magical items that changes a being into someone else and is now stuck being a Mithra.

Did something happen?

After hunting off the coast of Mist's Edge, I swam ashore to see the remains of a large creature. Did something happen? Or is it just as the world is?

I stood looking at the cozy cave the shell formed. Wondering if I would make a nice place to stay....

From within

There are things in this world that are confusing and odd...

Things that are not understandable...

There is no reason to think that we fully understand or know what it is. Or even know or understand what another individual is thinking. For when we think of something that another thinks, we in turn make it our thoughts. Altering it in a way by our own perspective that it could not truly have its original meanings.

To assume that a person knows what another is thinking or why something is, is based on how each individual feels. Being able to feel and think like another person is a difficult thing. For each person is unique.

From Within

And no matter how hard a person may try to understand others, there seems to be a larger force that prevents it.

Each moment, interaction or reaction a person encounters creates them into who they are. Could there be two people that have identical experiences and reactions? It might be possible. Or maybe the closest a person can get is to empathize with others.

I find it interesting how a person can say 'I understand" when what they reply sounds nothing like what is being talked about. Or how people assume things. Assuming things is a fun guessing activity, but to believe assumptions does not seem like a very good thing to do.

Today, I am seeing it as there is a gigas in each of us. Something that has grown so large that it influences each person. It could be arrogance, shyness, confidence, jealously, insecurity, care, etc. Some people are good at expressing positive actions. While others are not. Some like to hide the negative actions with positive actions. But who is the real individual?

Just because it is the 'right' thing to do does not mean you need to do it all the time. Like anything when there is an extreme positive there will be an extreme negative. Sometimes I wonder if people who are extremely positive just allow for the extremely negative to happen sometimes. And because they are trying to be positive they make the negative seem like it wasn't negative at all. Almost ignoring and not addressing some important issues. Issues should be addressed. But there is always the fear of not being understood. Which is more than likely an accurate assumption, that people will not understand some comments. Seems like an initial reaction is to think of it as an insult. Sometimes... things are just statements... opinions... not meant to mean anything other than what maybe be happening.

Which brings me to the subject of 'fault' one of those words I do not care to use. But that I will leave for another day of random thought that float in my head.

The Green Lady

One cloudy day in North Gustaberg I saw this wandering sapling maiden. She had an unusual name. She merrily hopped around, not pausing a bit when I called out to her. I nudged at her a few times with my trident to get her attention. After a while she gave me an optical earring.

Zegham Hill

A sweet day at Zegham Hill. The sun in the pale blue sky. As the fluffy marshmallow bunnies go floating by. The green leaves rustle as they listen to the small cool breeze whispering in the trees. My footsteps are left in the ground that is powdered with a gray-brown dust, much like a powdered cinnamon donut.

As I climb higher I can feel the air become crisp and refreshing. Yet there is a sound I hear, telling me something, that I can not understand. That hmm hmmm.... What is it saying to me?

Might it be urging me to continue higher? Hmmm hmm hmm... The heat of the golden honey sun keeps shining on me. The warmth combines with the breeze that makes my head feel light. Think, think, why was I here? I saw the path leading up and started to climb....

There was a reason I came. I was here once before on a request to bring some flowers to a monument. But why did I come today? The earthiness is in the air. Hmmm...hmmm.hmmm. The hill... remember... I will just have to come back another day.

The Magicites

While in Jeuno I was able to get an audience with the Archduke. He wanted to get some items from the three beastmen strongholds. The Archduke said he would give me an airship pass if I was able to get him the stones.

Aldo was staring at his map when I got to his office. Verena stop by for a short while and spoke to Aldo, Something that Verena said will always stick in my mind. There's more to life than what you see in front of you. We are all flowing on the river of life, not just watching from the banks. Verena was concerned about Fickblix. I am not really sure why. I think she just worries about everyone.
Aldo gave me a Silver bell to help me get to the magicite in Beadeaux. I went to see Sattal-Mansal for the other two items that would allow me to enter in to the area with the magicite. Sattal asked for a Quadav Augury shell and a Quadav Charm. Once he had these he gave me what I needed.

Looking for more items that would allow me passage to the magicites, I stop in at Muckvix's Junk Shop. Muckvix sent me on an errand. I visited Paya-Sabya in upper Jeuno where he was waiting for his plants to sprouty-wout.When I went back to visit with Muckvix, he mention that I would have to light some torches. Flickblix walked in and had a torch that he was able to spare. He was head to Castle Oztroja. Seems odd that a goblin would be traveling to visit the yagudos.

While in Upper Jeuno I also spoke to Baudin. He has a sister named Audra who is ill. She craves raw meat. Baudin gave me a crest of Davoi for a piece of Coeurl meat. Audra took the meat to her room, all we heard was munching. I was a bit disturbed that she said "...drenched in bright red blood!"

My first magicite I went to was the one in Castle Oztroja. Fickie died.The Magicite has memories of converstion. I saw images of Star Sybil, Karah-Barauha. Also yagudos.. Gawk! Gawk!... Kahk!... Kahk-ka-ka....

At Beadeaux, I saw images of Ulrich killing quadavs. Cornelia and Raogrinm were with him. Raogrinm said the quadavs were trying to protect their eggs.

I went to Davoi. More images from the past, of people and things that happened.

Lion showed up. And we saw the Shadow of Darkness.

But in the end I went back to the Archduke and presented him with the Opitistone, Aurastone and Orastone.

I was given an airship pass. And when I went to my embassy they promoted me to Rank 5.

A bunny

A day of shopping in Jeuno and what do i see? A cage. What a great idea! A bunny cage that hangs from the ceiling.

I would have to get a larger home if I wanted to get bunny cages. Right now it is crowded with Moogle in my one room home.

Hmmmm...

Have you ever looked at something or someone and had a reaction to it? Everything I see in Vana'diel I look at with interest.

Fang

Every line, shape, color, etc. There is an elegance to everything in this world.

The tower that never seemed to end.

I was sent to Jeuno to talk to the ambassador. When I got there I was told he was not in, and he had gone to investigate something in Delkfutt Tower. Well I went out to Qufim and entered Delkfutt Tower.

I ran around for many hours. Using teleport pads, running up spiral stairs, and avoiding the holes in the floors. There were bats, giants, goblins, etc. that I avoided. Finally on the 10th floor, opened a door to see a beastmaster had cleared the room of all the giants. I waited and waited, and waited some more.
Giants started to fill the room. I was waiting for Porphyrion. He showed up and I was able to get a Delkfutt key from him. This key is what I used to take the elevator. I was a little disappointed the elevator didn't take me to the basement. I ran down a very long spiral staircase, which made me a bit dizzy.

There I found the ambassador faced down on the floor. I don't remember what he told me. I later met him back at the embassy in Ru'Lude Gardens. All I remember is that tower that never seemed to end. It didn't even seem to be that tall from outside.

BEWARE the bastoker!

As I adventure near and far, I alway carry my signet staff with me. To ensure that I have signet as I fight in the name of Bastok. I also whack fellow Bastokers so they too can carry the symbol of Bastok with them.

Yes, I sometimes sneak up on people that I know and smack them with the staff. I am not very good at sneaking up on people. I do not think I will ever have a job as a Thief. Thinking Guan was distracted by his chocobo, I tried a swing or two with my trusty signet staff.

So for all of you out there... BEWARE the bastoker stalker!

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time in a Kingdom called Bastok there lived a warrior named Jioji. An exciting adventure all started one day when she was given a mission to visit the neighboring nations.

When she got to San d'Oria she stop in at the Consulate of Bastok and spoke to Helaku. This jolly fellow represented Bastok. Helaku had her speak to Halver. Halver spoke of the Orcs in Ghelsba Outpost. Jioji was sent to slay an Orc named Warchief Vatgit.

An outpost trip to Buburimu Peninsula made the trip to Windurst a little shorter than a Chocobo ride from Bastok. Melek at the Consulate located in Port Windurst spoke of Yagudos and daggers.

Then the best of the adventure a dragon!
Join by fellow adventures Jioji entered a battle field where a Black dragon and Seacher waited for them. They were not to be defeated. Breaking the current record of the fight with a time of 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
