Style!

To My Dearest Ebbie,

Have you heard about that Fashion Pageant they are holding in Libra? Whoever wins that contest gets to win the costume they wore for 90 days! Sounds interesting right? That's why your dear ol' brother decided to give this a shot. Now I really ain't someone who has that much taste in fashion, so I had to ask someone with style. I talked to Dias about it. He first told me to match it with my already red hair first so we could eventually create a costume worth the contest!

It took us almost a few hours deciding what to pick out (and I could swear Irichi was watching from the shadows again...) until we were able to find a good set of clothes. I stepped into the changing room to remove my armor, and came out with this.

Dandy little outfit eh? I must say this outfit was pretty uncomfortable to wear at first, but I eventually realized I look pretty awesome in the end. I wore a Wild West's Hat, a Casual Red Jacket, Cyber Look Bottoms, a pair of Eastern Hunter Gloves, and a pair of Kendo Boots. It turned out nice after countless arrangements here and there.


I've heard this contest only lasts a week so if you want to participate, I suggest you do so now, my dear Ebbie. All costumes on the market are sold for 100 cash each and would only last a day if you do buy 'em, so I am using every moment today to try out this outfit in battle as well! The Tempura Knight finally has a new outfit! And he looks awesome and stylish in it. I LOOK PRETTY HEROIC AM I RIGHT???

Well that's my opinion at least. Irichi and the other girls still say I look like some Wild West Bandit/Mobster with a fashion sense gone wrong. Oh well, at least I got to participate. Hopefully this entry would make it. PLEASE VOTE FOR MY OUTFIT OK?

Stay safe, and stay stylish.

From Your Stylish Brother,
Prawnt

P.S. If it permits you, Dias and Cailey asked me to have you vote for them. Thanks, they said. They look great as well!

Lost With A Cupcake

To My Dear Friend Ceaz,

The other day I was told by the lads that there would be a "black market" somewhere in a faraway place and I decided to have a look at it myself. All they told me was to look for a hooded man and he would show me his goods which I can purchase for a good price. The deal seems shady right? So to make sure it was a safe and real deal, I went alone to find this so-called black market. Good "porn" would be hard to come by.

I eventually came across a forest that people say I must cross a dense forest just to find the place. After treading for a few minutes, I came across some weird guy in green robes. Perhaps he knew where the place was. However, as I was about to ask him for directions. He only gave me a glare and raised his staff. He attacked me! This guy was probably one of those Dryads, classified as a hostile threat and forest servants of Elga. I had no choice but to engage the lousy Dryad to move on.

It utters a weird language somewhere along the lines of "GARFLARGBLARGH
ERBLARGBHERBLAGH". Yeah, reeeeeeaaaaaly weird language I must say. I defeated it of course and moved deeper into the forest. After some time, I've noticed that I was getting nowhere. I really didn't know what to do so I decided to experiment. I left a cupcake at a nearby tree to use it as a marker. I walked again and after a few minutes, and the cupcake was gone! There were a few monsters around the spot where I left it and they must've eaten that cupcake. IT WAS MY ONLY SOURCE OF NOURISHMENT THAT TIME.

This forest made me lose my way.

I had to get out quickly. It was almost getting dark, and I need my goods. My "goods". Then I came across something. Or it probably was a someone. It was one of those Mimir Tribesmen I've heard so much about. They used to be a friendly bunch but recently, the whole tribe has gone berserk because of their Owl God, Bubo who has been acting strangely as of late.

I tried to ask this Mimir Tribesman for directions but all he did was squeal and attack me. After defeating him, it alerted the attention of other tribesmen, so I had to escape the forest as quickly as possible. I didn't know getting the "goods" was this hard. I had to escape because I promised Ebbie I would be safe from harm. When I found the exit, I couldn't believe my eyes! THE CUPCAKE WAS WAITING FOR ME AT THE EXIT, DUDE.

I didn't bring any potions, scrolls, and food during this time because I forgot my stuff in Libra. The cupcake was only something I bought along the way to the forest. Some mage sold it to me so perhaps this cupcake was enchanted or something? I wasn't hungry yet as I was saving it after I buy "the goods". Without hesitation, I picked up the cupcake and stepped into the light.

In an instant, I was brought to this familiar place. It was the guild castles lobby!!! I really didn't know how this was the place yet, things were not as they seemed to be. This looked like a replica of it, and the guy with brown robes spoke with a funny voice. I found all kinds of titles there man! They probably had twice the titles and stocks compared to those found in the backalleys of Libra! With a raspy voice, the guy in the brown robes welcome me and I started taking my picks.

They had titles like "My Spear into Your Holey Robe" or "Loli Acolyte: Mk II". Irichi would love this place as well as it had titles to her liking that I accidentally picked out. Of course dude, I returned those cursed things the moment I touched them. I had a large shopping bag with titles to watch and enjoy. Now what mystified me was the cupcake I still had from back then. The brown robed guy just smiled and told me to eat it.

The moment I took a bite into the magical cupcake, I had this feeling of euphoria. My body felt all warm and, I think I was hallucinating and stuff as I saw these talking Woodies telling me to fap and stuff. The last thing I knew, I was naked in bed with this woman and I'm not sure of what I saw but I'm pretty sure it was... nah... you wouldn't want to know. It was HORRIBLE. And you'd probably think I was gay if I told you what I saw that time.

But no worries man, I got you your favorite title, and I've attached it to this mail. Oh yeah, don't tell Ebbie about this. She'd probably kill me if she knew that I got high again.

I'll see you around man.

Letting Go

To My Dearest Ebbie,

I suppose you've been wondering what really happened to Toby the other week. Well, I'll write about that right now. Toby had grown to a point that he really didn't need me anymore. He could get his own food, use the bathroom without me giving him a bath, and even buy his own bird seed from the local store. I guess it was just one of those moments that you'd have to let go of your pet, to let them grow outside your care.

Though the Ocher Forest has been hostile as of late, Toby insisted that I send him off there. How did I know that? I'm not sure really, it must be some kind of connection between owner and pet.


So off we went to the forest past the swamps, driving off anything hostile as we made our way there. Toby was really brave to the point that he helped me defeat some Yakults by slamming into them, or helping me up ladders to make sure I don't fall.

When we finally got to a destination suitable to Toby's liking, he looked excited and was full of energy that I have never seen before. So there I was, about to send him off, all misty-eyed and reluctant at the last moment.


You know me Ebbie, I rarely cry. I am strong, and I keep my emotions in check. If this is what Toby wants, then I will let him do so because that's how much I love him. Sure, I will miss those moments where he pecks my head whenever I get dirty thoughts, or when he "hugclings" to my shield when he's afraid, or when he accidentally bombards people with his "presents" and I take the blame. But I am sure Toby will return a stronger gryphon. Toby's part of the family too, Ebbie.

Me? Cry? Ha! The Tempura Knight hardly falls!

Stay safe, love you always.

From Your Dear Brother,
Prawnt

Morale Boosting

To My Dearest Ebbie,

I just came back from a warrior's assembly. Over a thousand warriors gathered in the Warriors' Quarter in the Port of Winds. I'm not really sure why Commander Evan summoned only male fighters, but something was up. Many Warriors, Knights, Myrmidons, and Paladins were standing there idly before Commander Evan began his speech. He said that morale amongst warriors was at an all-time low and they are looking for solutions to boost the overall job class morale.


Within moments, many people began to submit their ideas and thoughts to the commander. This was until the commander told everyone to be silent as he brought out this music box. He said that this song would raise overall morale, encourage warriors to fight harder, and most of all, instill pride in all of us as MEN. As he pressed the button, this song began to play. The first part wasn't really much, but the chorus really got us going and suddenly everyone broke into dance.

EVEN I STARTED TO DANCE SUBCONSCIOUSLY. And so did the other warriors gathered. I began singing the chorus, "WITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF A COURSING RIVER~ dadadadada GREAT TYPHOON~ dadadadadada RAGING FIRE~ MYSTERIOUS AS~ THE DARK SIDE OF..."

And then I held my breath along with the rest.

"THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!".

I needed a glass of water after that. Then Commander Evan explained about some sort of job class dance competition, and he wanted a thousand warriors to dance simultaneously to the song. The other job classes were doing it as well, and he hopes this will not only raise morale, but he also hopes it would beat the annual champions, the Jesters. I guess around 90% of the warriors objected, but we were all immediately snapped back into obedience as we were told it was an order.

It's not fair that you women warriors don't get to participate. Heck, why are the top brass even coming up with these events? Oh well, at least our song isn't as horrifying as the Jester's song for this year. Yet they manage to win every time! (It must be their outfits...) Their song still gives me the chills, seriously.

Stay safe, and I'll see you at that event.

Cookies and Cream

To My Dearest Ebbie,

Remember those nosy reporters I told you about the other day? They're still on the loose and trying to be as nosy as possible to the people they victimize! Unfortunately, the commander has ignored my petition to shut down their operations, so I have no choice but to act like a vigilante and perform my duty as a Knight to protect those in need! From what I've heard from newbie adventurers, their next target was an unlikely couple named Kewkies and Kreme. A merchant told me they're chronicling an epic journey for the Dragon Expedition.

(What entered my mind when I heard their names.)

It makes me wonder how they got those fitting names. (Although people do ask us about our names as well, no?) I will perform a duty whether they like it or not, I WILL PROTECT THEM! I brought my riot gear with me just to be sure. I eventually caught up to them and introduced myself. The defender or justice! The bane of all malice! I AM PRAWNT, THE TEMPURA KNIGHT!!! Well, I had to make an entrance at least. At first, they didn't believe me when I told them about these nosy reporters they were scheduled to meet.

So I had no choice but to show them an exhibition of what I can do! I performed all sorts of tricks that I use in the troupe; the super saiyan, the tempura fighting combos, and even the clock head trick. I could tell you Ebbie, they looked pretty impressed. Then I put on my riot gear to show them how large my shield was for them to hide behind. Who knows when those journalists may be lurking somewhere.

Kewkies complained of all the breadrolls and parfaits she had been having, so I gave both of them twenty slices of cake each. When we got to the meeting point in Odellia, I did my best to hide them both as their bodyguard detail, but Mizureii drove me out by bombarding me with her magic. I had no choice but to leave them be, shouting, "ENJOY YOUR INTERVIEW!!!" as I ran off into the horizon as the sun started to set.

Yup, another day for the glorious Tempura Knight, Prawnter Tartareus!!!

Stay safe, and uphold the Warrior's Code!!!

From Your Dear Brother,
Prawnt

OOC: Many thanks to Kewkies and Kreme for this collaborative! ;D
