Lamps flickered on as their golden pools of light flooded the docks at the port of Limsa Lominsa. The bustle of the busy port slowly begins to quiet down as sailors and merchants retired to their respective homes or favorite tavern.
A tall Elezen male boasting a scar across his cheek stifles a yawn before his tanned Hyur partner nudges him - the two proudly sporting Blackwater Trading Company colors and garb. “Oy--take a look ‘a that creature…†the Hyur motions toward a white-haired Miqo’te as she is beckoning them to come into her “Tavernâ€. The Elezen shakes his head with his arms crossed as he retorts, “That one looks like trouble,†she gives them a sly wink. “Plus the boss’ll kill us if we leave our post--†he continues before being cut-off by the Hyur, “What the boss dun’t know won’ kill ‘em!†The Hyur gives the Elezen a shove before continuing in jest, “Won’ take you longer than 5 minutes anyway--!†A silver-haired Elezen female joins her companion as she motions to the male Elezen. He quickly responds while counter-shoving his partner, “I’ll need 15 with that one…†The two begin walking toward the tavern as a certain auburn-haired Miqo’te tosses a coin pouch at the white-haired Miqo’te after the men disappeared with other escorts into the tavern. The white-haired Miqo’te turns to speak in a hushed tone, “You have your three minutes.â€
Mia nods before swiftly taking her leave. Three minutes. 180 heartbeats. She begins counting.
30 She slips into the trading vessel easily without the guards at their post while quickly edging forward toward the armory, mapped out by Sogarn’s notes.
60 The auburn-haired Miqo’te narrowly misses a patrol as she manages to hide behind sacks of potatoes.
90 She is detected by a female Hyur Corsair, but quickly traps her in a temporary ice prison before alarms would sound.
120 Mia finally reaches the armory, finding stacks of barreled gunpowder, she immediately casts a targeting rune beneath them before taking her leave.
150 The alarm is sounded as the female Corsair breaks free of her ice prison. Mia makes a dash for the deck as enemies follow closely behind.
178...179...180 She jumps and dives overboard while triggering the rune, a massive explosion sending the Black Trading Company’s vessel into chaos and turmoil as she swims to a nearby escape dingy.
The Captain will give her a good scolding for this one. It was messy. It was loud. But Gods damnit if she was going to let the Blackwater Trading Company get away with roughing up her Quartermaster.
