I thought I told you to leave me alone.

[This is a terrible time to be the kind of gal who wears clothes with exposed midriffs. Aubrey hugs herself for warmth because whew!!]

Wh-where are we now?

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise is wordlessly taking off her shawl and holding it out to Aubrey. ]

It looks like a village.

[moodwrecker]

Well yeah, but whose? Where?

[...Taking the shawl to wrap around herself though.]

[cleansewithfire]

...If this is Mr. Yoon's palace like I suspect it is, perhaps it is somewhere he has been to.

[moodwrecker]

You think this is Yoon's place?

[cleansewithfire]

It is possible. They all seem to be based on places in people's lives, and...I think this is more likely to be Mr. Yoon's.

Of course, it could also be a surprise.

[ She pulls her jacket tighter around herself, really regretting the spaghetti straps of her dress right about now. ]

Good question... A memory, you think?

[ A frown. ]

We should get some kind of food or extra layers.

[moodwrecker]

[Feeling around in her pockets...]

...Shoot. I don't think I have anything on me to trade.

[gardenful]

Maybe we can do chores for them in exchange?

[moodwrecker]

I guess so...

Hopefully the people here need the help.

[gardenful]

If not, then... we'll make cause some problems that we can solve for them.

[ Not the most honest method, but hey. They need to do something. ]

[moodwrecker]

[-Wait what. She just stares at Aerith for a moment because she was not expecting that suggestion from her of all people.]

...Yeah. Yeah, I think we could do that.

[gardenful]

[ SURPRISE... ]

I knew we'd be on the same page.

[moodwrecker]

[Dang. Maybe the pink flower lady... is actually kind of cool... potentially........]

...I'm still going to try asking first.

[Because if this is a palace there may be consequences for the "ruler" if she misbehaves. But if that doesn't work they can simply be hooligans instead.]

[gardenful]

[ The biggest plot twist... ]

Good plan. Wouldn't wanna take a big risk if there's no good reason, huh?

[ Not like she wouldn't potentially take the risk anyway, but. Y'know. It's better for everyone if this palace goes well. ]

[moodwrecker]

That can be plan B.

[bloodweapon]

[Shame Fray doesn't have any extra clothing to offer anyone, but he's fine. His armor's built for Ishgard's freezing cold climate, after all...]

Agreed. Everyone should stay close, but let's see if any of the villagers can part with anything.

[gardenful]

[ For the first time in her life, she's kind of regretting that she's not wearing a full suit of armor. ]

Good plan. Who do you think we should ask?

[bloodweapon]

There's a woman carrying clothing, that seems like the most obvious option to handle the cold.

[Which is the most pressing concern at the moment, as far as Fray's concerned. Let's not have any of our midriff-showing buddies get frostbite!!]

[gardenful]

[ And with Aubrey's suggestion in mind— ]

Then... let's go after her.

[bloodweapon]

[Aubrey's on it, but off we go!]

[moodwrecker]

There's a lady with clothes... maybe we can help her carry them?

[bloodweapon]

An excellent idea, perhaps she'll be willing to part with a few.

[That sounds like A Quest!!]

[moodwrecker]

[But is it a blue quest or a yellow...

At any rate, Aubrey will go ahead and approach the woman carrying clothes]

...Do you need help carrying those?

[She tries very hard not to be obviously shivering while asking.]

[gardenful]

Great idea, Aubrey!

[ Thinking like a real quest accepter!! ]
