I Pick Up Chicks This Way, Too!

DeAnn and I decided to pick up where we left off on our mall walking. Our mall, like most malls, has booths and carts set up in the middle of the wings – cell phones, cheap jewelry, witty t-shirts, knick-knacks and sweet snacks all reside in these little make-shift shops. The difference between this mall and most I’ve been to is that here, the shopkeepers feel the need to holler at you to gain your attention. I’ll be walking along, talking to my wife or on the phone, minding my own business when some schmuck in a sideways Spurs cap, baggy jeans and neon orange rubber clogs hollers 3 feet from me “HEY! C’MERE AN’ BUY MY PHONES! WHY AIN’CHA STOPPIN’? HEY! COME BACK!!!” Loser. What business owner in their right mind believes that to be a viable business tactic? If I want a cheap cell phone, silver plated brass jewelry, a bobble-head dashboard statue or a t-shirt that says “Now Hiring Apply Below,” I’ll find you. Until then, stop being a jackass and for the love of all things holy, buy real shoes.

Our linkshell’s scheduled Dynamis-Tavnazia was cancelled tonight due to lack of required jobs. We’ll reschedule it when more people have access. With the night off, Keri and I drummed up some support for another subligar hunt. Demetrion came to help us again on his BST, along with Kactuar as NIN and his attack mule Vudian bringing the treasure hunter on THF. Kactuar was as confused as Rhykar was the first time when I said we were doing the Lv40 capped area. I guess the norm is to do the Lv50 area instead. I also found out that several subligar don’t drop in the Lv40 area – including the SAM piece that Demetrion needed. We got Keri hers and a WAR one for Demetrion for when he’s done with SAM. Demetrion wants to drum up support for a Swift Belt/Subligar hunt in the Lv50 area sometime soon, so I’ll definitely help him with that. After the drops, we decided to attempt Eba, a DRK fomor that runs around in the area we were farming. It was epic fail. She has a nasty AoE attack that she only needed to use twice. We home pointed out and were left with the question: What now?

Keri and I decided to head back to Beadeaux and try to get the other coffer key we needed and maybe a scroll we’ll need for BLM off the Sapphire Quadav. Talonshard came out to lend us his treasure hunter. Keri’s key dropped after about an hour of hunting. Only the Scrolls of Bind and Blind dropped – damned stingy turtles. We need two coffer keys for Garlaige and Crawler’s Nest, as well as two chest keys for Castle Oztroja, so we will probably not be heading back to Beadeaux just for a couple of scrolls with rather limited use.
