PANTS QUEST: Journey To A Discovery

[conductyourself]

The sun beat down on the planet like a medium-sized yellow star of pure fury, scorching the town as though the ground was made of delicious brownie mix that had been left in the oven too long and now was hard and crunchy. Eating the ground was not recommended in this case, however, as it was not made out of brownie mix but dirt and also people were walking on it. Two people, to be specific. There were other people, as well, but these two stood out among the townsfolk and other visitors as they strode through town in their nearly identical hats, goggles, vests, boots, and - most importantly - their green, skin-tight plantsuits. Pants were a thing that other people wore.

But not for long.

Soon, the town's pants would be theirs. At least, one pair of pants each - they didn't think they could reasonably expect to afford more, even if they worked really hard and bartered their hearts out. And Maxine may or may not have wanted pants; she had been rather vague about her clothing needs. Nevertheless, the pair was determined to acquire pants or other forms of clothing by any perfectly honest means necessary that wasn't prohibitively difficult for two rather young people to do. Them versus the world. Or at least the town. Unless they could make friends with the people in the town, which they would definitely attempt to do.

Pants Quest had begun.
