YOU AND YOUR GROUP MANAGE TO SNAG THE LAST POSSIBLE LEGENDARY TRACKER. You're all huffing and puffing as you run through the convention center. It's nearby, which means ANYONE could catch it before you!

You all turn a corner and end up in the mess hall. The tracker is pointing to a!!!!!!................

This...must be wrong.

".......................Don't stare at me.............. -m-" The tracker.....is pointing at her.......

Be careful. O-8 is an A-class and if she becomes upset she'll.....erupt.

"So we're just supposed to capture a fucking O-class?"
"… Tbh that's probably not it–"
"Why would you even--- I'm not surprised, honestly."
"....................Stop staring at me. om-"
"I know that. O-8, wanna tell us about our defective tracker?"

You spot the glowing tracker on her goat ear!

"OKAY LOOKING AWAY-" Eli turns and faces the other way also turning his arise around too who does not sit still what so ever.
"Maybe stop staring at her. You know. A literal O-class." Yerba is looking aWAY.

O-8 calms back down to -m- levels.

"I don't know where I am. All I know is what my job is. -m-"
"Oh, hello! Sorry, I'm a bit behind. I had to get my leg unstuck from a tree! Have I missed anything? Where's that legendary?"

"Then can we just tell you where you are so you can tell us about that blessed tracker on your ear? We're in the convention center."

That is a tracker.

"Hey, welcome back. The earring's the bird, go capture it. Don't actually do it." He whispers.
"I'm all good, I just broke a couple bones and landed on some cattle. But you know me. Patch myself up like a rag doll!"
Yoinker, having waited for Mezin to get unstuck, finally truly approaches the group. "Is that O-8?? OwO"
"Big bird's resting rn!~ She needs her beauty sleep~"

"JABKJDVJ–???"
"Ooooooh that's why she looks so familiar! Hello there O-8! Have you seen a bird around here?"
O-8 leans over the table slowly as more people appears. These people....are talking to her....she just wanted to enjoy her meal of 3 ketchup packets. She saw someone else put them on their plate and she wanted to know if it was good as well.
"Yes. I am O-8. om-" O-8 points at the BIG "O-8" ON HER CLOTHES.

"Bye, bitch."
" Sayonara~"
She points at the rest of the group. "Make the loud one quiet. Now. om-"

Mezin whispers to Yerba "the loud one??? Have you guys been causing a ruckus while I was away???"

O-8 is looking at other tables, seeing what other patrons are doing.......
She gets up.

There's a small scream.

She returns with a stolen soda.

Eli is petting Glitzy now mostly because he is absolutely terrified and also trying to make sure he's not the "loud one"
"Hm. Soda does sound good right now. Is there a vending machine near by?"

"A goat whose tracker says that she's a bird. Yeah, I know."
O-8 gets up from the table. She's looking.

Arise petting intensifies, Glitzy is probably not complaining but glitter is getting on the floor.
"Okay, I'm pretty fucking sure that's not a normal notail thing."
"Do.....you.......want some candy? om-"

O-8 holds out her closed hand, and waits for someone to come near.

"Oh!!! I'd love some! If you wouldn't mind sharing, of course!" Mezin approaches O-8. She seems very nice!
"Maybe I can find some candy to give you too! I think I only currently have cough drops though."

SYNE IS STABBED IN THE STOMACH.
AND THROWN TO THE GROUND.
O-8 is now calm.

"OH GOLLY GOSH"
"Ohmygosh-"
"Cool, wouldn't be the first time someone suplexed me."
"Well, I tried! OwO"
"Well, I'm glad you're taking it like a champ, Syne!! But we really need to get you patched up!!!!"
O-8 snaps her finger.

"Notail, to me. Put the subject out of its misery. -m-"
"hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"
"It is in pain, there is nothing more we can do. -m-"
"Oh! Is yoinker going to help? That's very nice of you to offer, miss O-8!"

"The patient is aggressive. Put it down, nurse. -m-"
"Syne I think she offered to help!! Here let me pull out some gauze and-"
"Oh of course I'm gonna help him, Mezin! Now, if you could just do me a quiiick favor, could you close your eyes? UwU"
Eli is just about to cry- nononononono-
"uhhh heyso… like i uh do you know that- fries go withketchup?–" He has no idea what he is saying at this point
Syne is now being quiet… for once.
"I have no idea how that could possibly help but. Alright!" Mezin covers all 6 of her eyes!
"Lookwe'llleave dontkillhim-"
"Perfect, I'll tell you when to open! OwO"
As he walks over to Syne, all Yoinker can do is a weak shrug towards Yerba. What's he gonna do, disobey his class leader?
Once he's over towards Syne, he goes for the throat.
Yoinker rolls a 20 sided die. A 5 is rolled.

Yerba just looks from Mezin to the thrice-stabbed spider. Who dECIDED TO TELL THE NOTAIL WHAT THEIR SHIP LOOKED LIKE-

"-!!!!" OH. SYNE IS DEAD. OH.

"OH MY BLESSED GODS. HE IS DEAD."

"We we're looking for a legendary capture creature on syne-your expedition!"
"yeah thats what we where doing."
There's a few moments in which Yoinker looks back at the actual Syne's body… And then attempts to inventory it.

Im pretty partial to the fries people seem to be getting!" Act like it's fine. Act like it's all normal. You are fine. This person needs help. She is clearly not well.
"Tsk, you bitches are so bad at finding capture creatures. I saw one of those annoying birds earlier and caught it easy. I even used it's dumb tracker as an earring, like it?"

Yoinker is here. He's fine. He only tried to kill you. Did he? No that was his friend. Everything's fine. It's all ok.

"It's all alright, we've got nothing but time. You are the best at capture creature-ing!"
