-- CLOSED TO LISSA

Alright! We gotta help the tea seller recover their packages. According to the information it should be around here somewhere.

[This place is far from safe. There are bandits lurking in the corner. They better finish up here quickly if they don't want trouble. Apollo shudders at the thought of meeting bandits. It's a concern for him because doesn't know how to fight properly. Lissa looks like a more capable fighter than he does. Teaming up with her gives him some sense of security. ]

Ugh, I don't see anything yet. How about you?

[He eyes Lissa hopping for a positive answer. Apollo doesn't want to believe that they're so offtrack already. ]

Comments

[attorneyatblah]

Oh hey, you're right. They just might. I'll ask them for it. [ Apollo wouldn't be much of a negotiator if he couldn't talk things out. He turns around and glares at the bandit with force. ]

Did you steal tea from a merchant earlier? Answer me or face justice! [The bandit refuses to be cooperative and listen. This guy's searching for an opportunity to escape. In response to that, Apollo's eyebrow starts to twitch. They need help......]

Lissa, why is he so hard-headed? It's like I'm dealing with a three year old here. C'mon now, geez.

[healstaffs]

[ A good question. Thankfully, she's got a good answer for that, never fear. She puts her hands on her hips, huffing. ]

Because all guys are hardheaded, that's why. Ugh!

[ No offense, Phoenix. Anyway, she's going to give this her own brand of good ol' college try, by stepping up to the bandit and putting on her most menacing look. (Spoilers: it's not very menacing.) ]

Tell us what you guys did with the tea, or I'll make Apollo shove a snake down your shirt!

[ Thanks for volunteering, Apollo. ]

[attorneyatblah]

Where am I even going to get a snake? Wait, that's not important. [Lissa why?]

Answer the question, tough guy! [The bandit claims he has no tea on him whatsoever. At that moment, Apollo starts to feel a strange tension in the air. That's what happens when he picks up on lies. This bandit is so full of baloney. You don't even need super powers to tell that he's not being truthful. ]

He definitely has tea on him. I'll make sure they don't run off or anything. Can you search him? Check his pockets!

[healstaffs]

Leave it to me!

[ Finally, she can be useful in some way! She marches up to the bandit and starts shoving her hands into every pocket she can find. (There are surprisingly many of them!) The first few pockets turn up nothing but the third results in victory: her hand comes out with a few stray packets of tea. ]

Apollo, look! I found some tea!

[ There's probably even more hiding in that bag of his. ]

[attorneyatblah]

Good work, Lissa! [ He's happy they found it. There's a huge grin on his face.]

We're still missing a few tea bags, apparently. Our work's not finished yet. [ Tea's likely hiding inside that backpack. Apollo zips it open because it's closer to him. Inside he finds a small package of stolen goods and various other items.]

You think this is all of them?

[healstaffs]

[ HMMMmmmmMMMM. She toddles over to where Apollo is standing and inspects the contents. It looks like all the tea, for all she knows, but just in case: ]

Maybe we should inspect their bags too, just in case.

[attorneyatblah]

Let's go for it. [Apollo dumps out the bags contents onto the floor. He happens to find dirty undergarments inside. Surprise.]

Why did we have to find underwear...? I'm not touching it anymore. [GROSS.]

Lissa. we're done.

[healstaffs]

[ .................................She makes a face at the underwear and also immediately turns around. ]

Yeah, we're definitely done. C'mon, let's head back with all the tea.

[ She takes a few steps forward, then pauses, thoughtful. ]

What about the bandits though? If we leave them, they might just run off and steal even more tea.

[attorneyatblah]

You do make a good point. Let's send them over to someone who can deal with it. Normally we put criminals inside the detention center for questioning. There's nothing like that here so...

[Giving them up would be the next best thing.]

Do you have a better plan?

[healstaffs]

That sounds like a good idea to me.

[ She's certainly not equipped to deal with bandits. She'd end up having tea with them while they're in jail before too long. ]

Alright, let's take these guys and our tea back and get our awesome reward!

[ Because there's gotta be a reward, right? ]
