It's a fairly rainy night and the quicksand is quite abuzz with life. At one table a Thaumaturge Lalafell sat sharing a drink with his Flame highlander and keeper adventurer friends.

 

"I swear my job is hard enough as it is." Papapara Dodopara said with a scowl his mustache twitching back and forth to give the appearance he was dusting his upper lip off with it. 

 

"Whatever do you mean?" The highlander asked Papapara.

 

"Just the fact that in addition to cleaning up all those damn bodies I also have to spend my days listening to all these ghost stories that people keep cooking up." Papapara scowled with an exasperated huff. "Honestly!"

 

"Ghost stories?" The keeper asked looking to Papapara with his ears perking, the flame also gave a look of interest. 

 

"Several people have come to tell me about how they saw some scary looking keeper stalking them in the dead of the night, then when they try to get a good look at the person the person has completely vanished." He said tipping back his mug again. "Or the one about people seeing skeletal decayed wolves about with purple flames, that one let me tell you has been plenty of a headache. Superiors making me investigate it on account of the possibility of it being void related." 

 

The highlander nodded his head. "You know it may be unrelated but there have been recent disappearances of folks being reported, mostly completely unexplained. Though some say they seen some savage looking keeper in the area before the people up and vanished. Problem is we've never found anyone matching the description of said keeper or any trace of them. Only that folks seen them in the area on the day the person vanished. Few of the blades have reported something similar happening right here in the city."

 

"Bah it's probably just a bunch of keepers doing what they usually do and poaching, Allric." He said to the highlander before looking to the keeper. "No offense, Kiht'a."

 

"Uh none taken?" The keeper said rubbing his neck with a look of being unsure how he felt. 

 

"I suppose I will make note of that and add it to my official report before I send it to Rorokubi." Papapara said with a heavy sigh shaking his head. "The report those adventurers gave did mention a keeper, though I am loathe to trust the words of anything an adventurer has to say, they're all idiots...no offense Kiht'a."

 

"Uh none taken?" Khit'a said again, his ears wilting as if he was too scared to stand up for himself.

 

"I'll see you both later then." Papapara said standing to his feet heading out the door before looking back. "Allric if you could pick up the tab that would be swell."
