Forgive me, things got a little chaotic again. And we need to pick up the pace as the 20th is approaching quickly. X3
Freina nods and jumps off the rock. You follow her as she finds yet another overgrown trail that leads away from the pool. After a half hour of bushwhacking, the trees clear again and you stumble out in the sunlight beneath a massive tower of rocks. It reminds you of the Rock Tower located back in the Springs, only this one is way taller. Freina decided to fill you in on the Tower.
Freina: "This tower and others like it were built by the ancient forces that shaped this world. Their purpose isn't completely known, but legends around here say that mythical creatures visit them occasionally. Now, up we go!" Freina grabs hold of a ledge above her head and starts to climb...

Aderyn gets really excited at the prospect of climbing something. She tightens the straps on her backpack and starts climbing after Freina. Although, she doesn't follow her exactly, and chooses to make her own way up, but still tries to keep her guide in earshot.
π: 0 β©: 1
The two of you make your way up the tower, but Freina stops you before you can get to the top.
Freina: "The top is sacred, we can't go there. We shall search here. But what do you want to take home? We can look up here for a qhim or an arunj or we could go hunt in the jungle for a thontor."
π: 0 β©: 1
"Hmmm. I wouldn't mind trying to track down a qhim." Aderyn stops climbing when told to and looks around curiously.
π: 0 β©: 1
Freina: "Well then, you need to start looking for caves. The qhims up here will be dark in colour, so make sure you check really well. They also like to hiss."
π: 0 β©: 1
She nods and starts climbing around the tower, but not going any higher, looking for the caves and listening for the hissing noise. Thinking it might help, Aderyn starts making hissing noises of her own.
π: 0 β©: 1
You hear a hiss in response in the next cave over. Do you investigate?
π: 0 β©: 1
Aderyn carefully goes to the mouth of the cave where the hissing is coming from. She hisses again and goes in a little ways.
π: 0 β©: 1
You are suddenly rushed by a large, furry animal!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aderyn yelps and quickly darts out of the way. She crouches down though and holds out her hand to the animal, the whole time being very cautious of what it might do.
π: 0 β©: 1
The creature backs into the cave and starts to hiss again. Freina has come to your location.
Freina: "Yep, that's a qhim all right. You're going to have gain its trust if you want it to come home with you."
π: 0 β©: 1
She turns to Freina, questioning. "How do I get I gain its trust?" She glances back into the cave and listens for the hissing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Freina: "Hm, well, you have to show it yourself. Kaiga would say get in there and wrestle it to submission and while that is a possibility, there are other ways of going about it. You just have to find the one that's right for you."
π: 0 β©: 1
Aderyn thinks for a moment and takes off her coat and backpack, putting it to the side. She then goes to the mouth on the cave and sits down. Taking a deep breath to slow her heart rate and breathing, Aderyn sits down and gets into the lotus position. She closes he eyes and relaxes, trying to show the creature that she is no threat, and that she would not fight it if it chose to come out.
π: 0 β©: 1
You feel a soft sniffing around your face as the qhim has silently approached you to investigate. You sit perfectly still, allowing the qhim to complete its investigation. Once it has, it determines that you are not a threat, as you smell like the sweetwater of the spring, and lays down against your leg. At this point, Freina enters the cave and taps you on the shoulder.
Freina: "We can go now, it'll follow." She leads you out of the cave and back through the forest to the boat. The qhim refuses to get in the boat with you, preferring to swim alongside you instead. Freina takes you back to the plane and makes arrangements for the qhim.
This signifies the end of your Expedition! Thank you for participating, your new friend will join the Springs when the plane returns to the mainland.

Looking around the airport, Annalee can feel both her excitement and nerves building. Flying was one of the few things she hadn't tried yet. Finally spotting what she hoped to be the correct ticket counter Anna makes her way over to it and eagerly rests against it, all the walking she's done today tiring her leg out. Smiling brightly, Anna greets the ticket agent, "Hello, I'm Annalee, I'm here for the trip to the Kituen Isles?"
π: 0 β©: 1
The ticket agent greets you and hands you your boarding pass. βBoarding begins at 15:30 MT March 7; the flight will leave at 14:00 MT March 8. Make sure youβre on board!β Itβs a quick jaunt through security then out on to the tarmac towards the plane. Itβs a small aircraft, requiring only a small staircase to get to the door.
π: 0 β©: 1
The time for boarding having come, Annalee made her way to the plane and climbed the stairs into the cabin. Looking around she realized the plane was even smaller then she'd expected. She also noticed, with slight disappointment, that there only seemed to be one other passenger at the moment - but quickly reminded herself that it was still early and there was plenty of time for more people to come. With that she found her seat and settled in for the wait, dozing lightly to pass the time.

An attendant walks by to check if you have your seatbelt fastened. Once you have done so, she starts the safety message.
Een: "Welcome aboard flight 201 to the Kituen Isles! I am Een, I'll be your head attendant for this flight. Because this is a small aircraft, as you have noticed, we have to maintain a very delicate balance of weight while we are in flight. We ask that you remain in your seat for the entire flight; should you need to use the bathroom, please call a flight attendant to take your seat. This aircraft has two exits; the one you came in through and one at the rear of the plane. In the event of a crash, please calmly exit using one of the exits. Our flight duration should be approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. Thank you for flying with us."
During the flight, you will have the opportunity to ask three questions to any of the attendants on the plane.

It take Anna a little while to adjust to the feeling of flying. When she's finally able to wrangle her nerves she sets her mind to the idea of finding out a little more about the isles and how her little adventure was going to go. She watched the attendants for a while and tried to decide who to ask about what. Eventually she calls over Vier
"Hello there, I was wondering how long we have to be in the isles? It looked pretty big in the pictures. I'm assume we'll be boating around to get from isle to isle, do the water species like to come around the boats?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Vier: "You'll have as long as you need in Kitue (RPD: so long as all discussion are completed by April 13.). Maps do make things look bigger than they are; it doesn't take long to travel between islands. There are a number of different ways to do that, but I won't spoil the surprise. If you are looking for a water species to take home with you, you'll have to find the appropriate guide to take you to them."
π: 0 β©: 1
"Oh, might you know any water specific guides? I'm hoping to come back with a Garhone."
π: 0 β©: 1
Vier: "I do know of one person who specializes in the water species. He's a fisherman by the name of Gebben."

"Alright, Thank you" Annalea smiles and relaxes into her seat for the remainder of the flight

You have officially arrived at the airfield in the grassy midlands of Soran. A welcoming crew meets you as you disembark from the aircraft. There is a man waiting for you at the bottom of the stairway. βWelcome to Soran! I have a number of people waiting behind me who can take you to a different part of Kitue to explore. But first I need to know; which direction do you wish to travel?β
Please choose one of the following: North/Northeast/Northwest/East. Or, if you have a particular guide in mind, choose them.

Stretching after being cramped up in the plane, Annalee takes in the sights for a moment. Noticing the people in front of her she looks over them while listening to one speak. "Well, I heard of a Fisherman named Gebben who might be able to help me find what I'm after. May I speak with him?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Welcomer: "Of course! Gebben is right over there." He points to an older looking man standing in the East group. Gebben seems distracted; he is gazing out to sea.
π: 0 β©: 1
Annalee thanks the welcomer and heads over to Gebben. She stands beside him, looking out to the sea as he does. Smiling, she takes in the sights and sounds for the moment. Eventually, she clears her throat to make her presence known before she speaks. "Sorry to disturb you sir, I heard tell that you would be the person to talk to about Garhone and other such water creatures here."
π: 0 β©: 1
Gebben: "Oho! A garhone? Are you certain? They are terribly nasty beasts."
π: 0 β©: 1
"I've had some experience dealing with sharks, I'm pretty sure I could handle a garhone"
π: 0 β©: 1
Gebben: "Well, if you think so. Let's go then, my boat's down the beach." He starts walking down the beach, a bag of fishing supplies in his hand.
π: 0 β©: 1
Annalee follows after, bringing what few things she brought along. Seeing the fishing supplies makes her wonder if she'll be actually fishing for the Garhone. That would be rather interesting.
((derp, totally got a mental image of them actually fishing and got giddy for no good reason.. I think I need to go to sleep xD))
π: 0 β©: 1
Gebben sees you eyeing the gear and guesses your thoughts.
Gebben: "I'm a fisherman; you don't expect me to come into town and not go back out with new supplies, do you? Besides, the best way to find a garhone is to find where the fish are." He keeps walking down the beach. You see a bamboo-like raft pulled up on the beach. A long pole is lying next to it.
π: 0 β©: 1
"Well I'm always up for some fishing." Annalee smiles at him, keeping up with his pace despite her limp. As they draw nearer to the raft, Annalee realizes there is something she forgot to do earlier, "Oh, Gebben, I forgot to introduce myself when we met. I'm Annalee, but you can call me Anna for short."
π: 0 β©: 1
Gebben: "Hello Anna. Let's be off then!" Gebben puts the raft in the water and motions for you to get on. You can't see a way that you can possibly stay dry on this trip.
π: 0 β©: 1
Following suit, Annalee climbs aboard. She doesn't mind getting wet and is excited enough that she probably wont notice anyways.
π: 0 β©: 1
Gebben throws his supplies down on the raft and hooks them to a rope to prevent them from washing away. He then poles the raft out into the water, which remains quite shallow. As far as you can tell, there is nothing out on the water that you could be moving towards. It takes about an hour before three smallish rocks appear to be floating on the water.
Gebben: "Tide's a little high right now, I'm afraid the only place to put things will be on those rocks. But it will makes it easier to attract and see a garhone; they'll be able to swim right up to the rocks." Gebben shoves the raft at the rocks, wedging one edge between two of the stone. He tells you to scramble off, and then ties the raft to the pole and shoves the pole between the rocks. The raft drifts far enough away that it won't dissuade the fish from coming close. He hand you a pack of miscellaneous food scraps.
π: 0 β©: 1
((sorry for late reply OTL))
Annalee carefully gets onto the rocks, trying not to end up in the water. She sets her stuff down and takes the pack from Gebben, looking over it's contents curiously. Looking at Gebben she eagerly waits to hear how this is all going to work
(.3.
Gebben: "Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and throw the scraps in the water to start attracting the fish."
π: 0 β©: 1
She quickly dishes out the scraps, watching for the fish when she's done.
π: 0 β©: 2
Seeing that you are indecisive, Gebben launches himself at the closest fin and manages to subdue the garhone. It doesn't seem particularly happy about the rope around its midsection, but Gebben can't risk the garhone slipping away and eating the rest of the fish that had swarmed around the gathered food. He directs you back onto the raft and returns to you to Soren; where he makes preparations for your garhone to be brought back to the mainland.
This signifies the end of your Expedition! Thank you for participating, your new friend will join the Springs when the plane returns to the mainland.

(( ;3; I am so so so so Springs! my internet has been on the fritz and I've been unable to get to my messages. Everytime I tried to get on dA it crashed what little connection I was able to get. It finally is back to normal today. I had no other way to get to a computer with internet and I felt bad cause I wanted to finish this and I know you needed everything to get finished by a certain time ;-; )

That's okay. C: We were really only a step or two away from the end, so I just jumped there instead.

Instantly there's a flurry of fish swimming around the bottom of the rocks, shimmering in a rainbow of colours. It takes a few minutes until Gebben taps on your shoulder and points farther out in the water; two fins are sticking out of the water swimming back and forth in the deeper water. One of the fins is a bright blue and the other one is a dark grey.
Gebben: "There we go, a pair of garhones. Which one should we try to subdue?"
