The Trip Home (Partially IC run from city to city)[Closed]

[Lunaticked]

Comments welcome and encouraged!

 

Here, I will document Farah's journey from Gridania to Ul'Dah. I will post these in 5 or more images per post, give people some time to observe and comment, before moving onto the next bit. It's not meant to be a serious thing, but I felt this would soften the blow of my many many deaths surely to come.

 

 

 

"What do you MEAN you aren't renting chocobos? What about that one right there? ...I don't care WHAT your relationship with the bird is. You're running a business here. I need a chocobo, I have money, and you have a chocobo that I need!

 

Fine. Whatever. I'll walk."

 

 

"Fat bastard probably never walked a day in his life...Chobobos since he could crawl. That's why he won't rent out his last one.."

--------------------

 

And then the server went down...so...thus concludes part one! I guess. Bloody timing...

[Lunaticked]

 

"Ahhh. Such a gorgeous day, I won't be needing my coat. I'll rent out some storage for a few of my things and be back for them...eventually."

 

 

"Should be a good workout. Haven't gone for a run like this since...Huh. It HAS been awhile since I left the forest."

 

 

"..you knew this river was here, Farah. Why did you not pack appropriate footwear? These things soak up water like a sponge."

 

 

"Lovely. These are going to take forever to dry. Going to listen to my feet make squishing noises for an hour at least. Well, it's not THAT bad I guess."

 

 

"...I hate everything right now."

[Lunaticked]

"A cave! Yes. I can just hold out in here till it passes."

 

 

"What. What is this shite? It's raining in the cave. What being beyond my understanding did I piss off? And how?!"

 

 

"This is stupid. Everything is stupid. That cave? Stupid."

 

 

"Huh. I should probably help, but my eyes are full of water and my hair is in my eyes. Eh. Looks like he can outrun it. He'll be fine. ...Hey! Another cave up there!"

 

 

"...Screw this shite."

[Asyria]

LOL

That's some nasty rain, there!

[Lunaticked]

LOL

That's some nasty rain, there!

 

I actually thought it'd be great seeing the cave. I could have had Farah park in there till the rain died in-game and continue on, but..t'was not to be.

[Lunaticked]

"The rain's clearing up...the trees are thinning. Yes! Almost to the desert! I can dry off, bask in the sun! I can..."

 

 

"...choke on the sand."

 

 

"Welcome home, Farah..."

 

 

"Is that a camp down there? Must be. You don't get mirages in sandstorms...right?"

 

 

"Never thought I'd be so happy to see civilization. I can just wait out the storm here."

 

 

"Things are finally improving...I had better be owed some good luck after all this."

[Tadir]

This is wonderful. I can't wait to read more.

[V'yen]

I'm really enjoying this!

[Gerick]

This is great!

[Lunaticked]

 

"...wait a sec."

 

 

 

"Sunset?! With all the stupid clouds and sand I completely lost track of time. I'm going to FREEZE."

 

 

 

"Gee. Thanks, majestic and beautiful canyon, for blocking what little sun remains."

 

 

"Is the city really that small...? Or did I grow? I remember this exact view and it seemed so much la...It is REALLY getting cold here."

 

 

"Why did I leave my coat behiiiiiiiiiind?"

 

 

"Ha! Made it! Guess there wasn't much risk of hypothermia, but...so cold!"

 

 

"Now which way is that damn Aetheryte?"

 

 

"Why didn't I do this before I left the first time? Urgh. Could have saved myself this whole trip. Never making that mistake again."

 

 

"...Hrm...you know...I'm pretty close to the ferry to Limsa Laminsa..."

 

TO BE CONTINUED...?

 

Yeah, probably.

[Satisiun]

"...Hrm...you know...I'm pretty close to the ferry to Limsa Laminsa..."

 

Turn back or you'll regret it!

 

That boat is the boringest of boring boats that ever did boringer ... and stuff!

 

(I kid. Well, with the turning back part. Limsa's great to visit. But that boat. Man. Nothing but a top desk, a steering NPC, and empty, empty sea until the last 2 minutes. Make sure you have a fishing rod!)

[Tadir]

There is a lower deck I thought.

[Kejira]

There is a lower deck I thought.

 

It does and it have Seats that you can sit on ^-^

 

On a other Note: This i really Wonderful, can't wait to see more

[gfrequency]

Absolutely lovely story. I laughed at the bit about it raining in the cave, as I'd thought the same thing last time I wandered through a supposedly covered bridge in Gridania while it was raining.

[shotgunbadger]

This is great, I laughed out loud at 'that cave? Stupid.' It'd be pretty cool if you actually could take 'shelter' in caves and all, maybe that was just had some cracks you didn't see!

[Lunaticked]

I'm going to be away from my computer for a day or two (maybe three), but when I come back prepare for the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING journey to Limsa Laminsa!

[Asyria]

*Prepares*

[Lunaticked]

(Sorry for the delay! I got busy.)

 

 

"What an amazing trip that was! First the kidnapping, then the prisoner uprising, taking that huge stash of treasure, then losing it in that bizarre, swirling vortex that had nothing but otherworldly screams of terror from deep within! Wow, no one will ever believe any of it really hap...Hey! The boat's finally here."

 

 

 

"Never been on a boat before. Well, nothing bigger than a small raft for crossing a river or something. This is kind of..."

 

 

 

"Urgh...I don't feel so good..."

 

 

"Just close my eyes till I feel better...that'll work, right?"

 

 

"Sleep and ginger helped...also having nothing left in my stomach probably helped too. Oh! It's morning!"

 

 

"Land! Finally! I hate boats. I hate the ocean. I hate sails. I hate galleys. I hate people called 'Cookie'. Just because you're on a boat is NO excuse to serve awful food. There's FISH EVERYWHERE! Use some of it in your food!"

 

 

"Sea travel? You are now my greatest foe. This is a fight you shall not win..."
