015 - Charon Doesn't Make Change
I'm not sure I'd call the wilderness 'Hazardous' this time around but I'd advise all travelers to exercise caution.
It's very different from the city, that's for certain; it's quiet and verdant, and it seems to be in some valley somewhere. Step too far into the mountains and you'll just come back out the other side; it's not very large, but at least it makes it a little easier to find your way back.
Of particular concern, however, are the hot springs in the center of the valley. They look warm and inviting- or, to some, the balance beams scattered about the area even more so- but they have a very... strange effect on whoever comes back out after falling in. I went into the wilderness with two other adventurers and came out with one of them turned male and the other turned... panda. Thankfully hot water seems to temporarily reverse the effects. Captain Target, I suggest a change of loadout accordingly.
[There's a change of writing style here; he seems a bit less formal in this next part.]
I got a few more of those little plastic figures in the city-wilderness before it vanished, though; Samehada and Cloud, I'll be leaving these on your desks. Nice sword, by the way, Samehada. Nova, I think this big... rabbit-thing is yours.
Bellflower, I think I've got one of you, too; I'll bring it over sometime today. I'll also need you to deliver one to Lezard. I'm as surprised as you by that one.
Youth and... what looks like Kagami, I've got some for you as well. Let me know if there's a good time to drop it off.
Rain, I'll give you yours at my next appointment. Consider it your tip.
[OOC: If I forgot to pick up a figure for anyone, remind me here and I'll make it right somehow! Maybe their new dog stashed it away somewhere, idek. orz]
