Summer is starting to ramp up in full force. All of the flowers have bloomed and trees have grown their leaves back, transforming the parks of the Lab City into lush greenery. A new quest has been pinned to the quest board, printed on plain paper in black and white. Despite how plain it is though, the request it makes is interesting. A logo for something called the "Labs City Insect Conservation Society" is printed at the top, and below that it says "Summer is here, heralding the return of rare glowmoths. A swarm has been spotted in the public park, and the LCICS needs help capturing live specimens for study and captive breeding programs. Participants will be paid in QP and an additional prize." Under that, a picture of one of these 'glowmoths' is printed... supposedly. The image quality is so low that you can't really tell what these 'glowmoths' are supposed to look like. Guess you'll have to go find out!
Jewel was... actually, very excited at the prospect of the newest request.
He was used to seeing a bunch of nonsense on the quest board. If he was lucky, he'd find a decent quest at least once a month that would give a good payout, but it was frequently surrounded by asinine requests. Clipping an old person's toenails? No, thank you. Doing someone's grocery shopping out of the kindness of his heart? Maybe, on a very good day, if he wasn't broke as hell. As it stood, he'd only take on something he knew would be worth his while, and... catching bugs sounded promising.
It made a change from squishing them. It had taken him a whole five minutes to clean caterpillar gunk off of his nice boots last time. He petted Rosie's beak as he jotted down the details - he'd need a net, and a keen eye if he was supposed to distinguish what these 'glow moths' looked like.
