Flaru-Wuru : Blog Hijack
Yotaru! This is Flaru-Wuru, broadcasting his vibes from Port Windurst, yo!
...Sorry, got carried away!
Flaru blushes in embarassement
I couldn't help but feel my ears burning lately, especially when they caught wind that I was being described in such a bad light online. The first clue was when some LS mates started offering me Yagudo Drinks out of the blue. At first I kept turning them down, explaining that I wasn't training as a Beastmastaru anymore, thus didn't need to freshen my magic pool. But eventually, some wouldn't be able to keep a straigth face when they made their bogus offer. That's when I asked exactly what the joke was, and I was refered to Coeurl's blog.
Oh.
My.
Little.
Tarutaru feet.
Gosh, Coeurly-Woeurly sure knows how to screw up details. Sure, I wasn't exactly in a good mood that day... Courrier Carrie was in a foul mood about me having sent her to stall a monster while I warped to safety. Well, who could blame her? Beastmaster pets have feelings too. I didn't want to talk about it because it was quite humiliating to say I had "crab problems", so I kept it to myself.
About our first encounter, I was fishing for Cheval Salmon back when I was about L30 as a Beastmastaru. I wasn't very knowledgeable about how different bites meant whether it was a fish, item or monster I was reeling in, so I did pull out a few monsters. And since I planned to do an extended fishing session, I left all my gear home, save for the standard fishing attire. When I did pull a monster, I ended up fighting it bare-fisted, which wasn't exactly effective, so I ended up using Banish to deal with them instead.
That's about when Coeurl came in. Now imagine a mithra dressed in Bronze gear, trying to make herself look interesting, oblivious to how sexy she looks in that attire, leering at me for a good two minutes, checking me not once, not twice, but trice during that time... And the first thing you hear from her is:
Coeurl >> HEEEEEEEY!!!!
Coeurl >> R U fishing?
Can I say I had a right to be irritated for being disturbed? She had all the clues as to what I was doing, so yah, I decided to play the stupid card and told her I was mining, and threw a rock at her. That much was true. And at the end of the exchange, I did drink a leftover 'Yaggie' from my recent mini-avatar fight with Shiva. All that banishing had depleted my pool, and I was too lazy to take a rest. Besides, it has a nice tangy taste to it. So yah, that "drunk" accusation got under my skin, and I shoo'ed her away.
Might be best to note it again: I WAS NOT DRUNK!!!
Then, the night at the bar...
First off, it wasn't Grape Juice, but Orange Juice I was drinking. I never asked for anything but Orange Juice. I did complain about the quality of it, as it wasn't as fresh as the good ol' juice you can get in Windurst. I swear, the juice back home must be made from oranges freshly picked in Sarutabaruta. I told them to get a bottle on the AH to check if their juice truly sucked that much. But heh... I put up with the sour taste as it kept reminding me of my home...
Then she came in. My initial thought was definitely "Oh no, not that n00by Mithra again..." Next thing I knew, she sat in front of me and ordered two glasses of water. Did I feel like drinking water? Surely not. I wanted my Carrie back, she didn't answer my calls anymore. All I wanted was to make the trip home, thus my obsession with Saruta Orange Juice, even when of bad quality. Anyways, I tried to discourage her as much as I could from staying at the same table as I, but she was determined in getting an apology out of me.
Coeurl >> Do you have any idea how rude you were with me?
Coeurl >> I didn't deserve it!
Coeurl >> It's not like I know anything about fishing!
Coeurl >> Hey! Pay attention while I'm talking to you!
Eventually, I admitted to it and apologized, but watered it down by pointing out how her question hinted that she might have been a botchecker, and offered different questions to ask, like "is fishing hard?", or even more simply "how's the fishing?" Anything but question whether or not I'm doing what it looks like I'm doing. The conversation then derived to embarassing moments we each had and adventuring. I think I scared her out of her boots when I told her how often I failed to survive in the wild. She kept asking why I went adventuring alone instead of find safety in a group. I explained to her that Beastmasters weren't exactly viewed as "party friendly", thus we did our own thing. And the more we did our own thing, the more adventurers shunned us from regular training parties. In short, a vicious cycle never ending.
At least, that mentality endured until the Jeuno Adventurer Administrative Centre decreed that raising domesticated jug pets is part of our training, thus we shouldn't be suffering a cut in experience rewards when using them to fight with us. That pushed the 'Party-Beastmaster' agenda back on the scene and we started to get a better rep from then on. But back then, it was "we'll invite you if we're desperately seeking a Damage Dealer." Like that invite I got for a Garlaige Citadelle training party while I was killing crabs in Korroloka Tunnel.
So there you have it. The flip side of the coin. Oh, and one last thing, about my talking to my pets? Yah, I do that. But who the heck doesn't? The only difference is my pets are trained for battle, it doesn't mean I shouldn't be giving them any affection! I mean, I'm sure some of you are talking to your chocobos you're currently raising, no? Some in baby talk no less, right? And Coeurl's quote is actually accurate on that account, but the problem is that Mithra can't recognize a joke even if it spam-slapped her in the face!
Trust me, she's a bit dense and naive at times, but she's a good girl. She also have self-assertion issues, to the point she developped an allergy to leadership status, and yet she can get bossy at times during critical situations. You don't want to see how irritated she can get when she gets her fur ruffled the wrong way.
Anyways, Flaru-Wuru signing out! Happy adventuring! And vote for Beastmaster in all "which job is best" contests!

You talk to the pets? Most of us just love them and Leave them.
Bad joke, I know.
Yah, I know, wild pets aren't exactly the most charming pets around. But domesticated pets like Carrie-warrie are much more wuvable. <(^-^)>
