Well, this was an interesting one. A bit different than all the other questions Kadin had been on, at least, although they were all sort of different when you thought about it. Eh. Maybe it wasn't that different after all. This one was all about finding something missing, and he'd done ones like this before, as had Mori, too. He didn't mind. Kadin brought Mori along, as usual, since she liked to come with him to make sure that he stayed safe on these things. All they had to do was to explore around the labs to find some missing items. Simply, really, especially compared to some of the fighting quests they'd had to do before. This one shouldn't be too bad at all as long as they didn't run into anything scary. And he doubted that he would, since they were just exploring the labs and no where dangerous.

The kapper seemed pretty desperate for them to get started so Kadin and More took off right away to go start looking for the different glass balls that they were supposed to be finding. They headed out figuring that the best place to start would probably be the public park. After all, when you're looking for something that people have lost, people do tend to let their guard down when they're out in public park. Especially by parks in areas where they're doing training. Not that the kapper really looked like he was the type to do a lot of training but Kadin figured that it would be the best place to start. They headed out over to the park in order to look for the glass balls. Mori wasn't very enthusiastic that they would actually find anything by the park, but Kadin convinced her to give it a try.

They started off by just looking in any bushes or trees or big clumps of grass or anything that could be hiding any items or where anyone might have dropped something and then not been able to pick it up. They looked around high to low to see if they could find anything anywhere and kept searching. Mori eventually had the idea that searching along the path would probably be better than searching long and random bits of grass. She argued that the kapper would have probably stuck to the path if he was passing through the public park rather than go off into any of the random wilderness portions of the public park. He didn't strike her as the type of person to really go off into nature after all. And if he did go off into nature it would have probably been a deep dark cave or something.

Not right out in the grassy area of the public park. So Kadin a Mori walked along the path looking from side to side. They each took one side of the path so that they could better divide their efforts and not miss anything that they might have missed otherwise. Kadin was looking to the right and Mori was looking to the left. They wandered along the past looking around to see if they could find anything. They figured at searching the whole path through the public part would probably be enough sense if the kapper had trained here he probably would have mentioned something. They continued looking along the path until finally Kadin spotted something glittering in the grass. He called out to Mori to let her know that he found something you crouch down to look at it. Sure enough it looks like it was a glass figure.

It looked as if it were supposed to be an enileaf. Kadin was almost a little bit tempted to keep it since he did like enileafs after all but at the end of the day he would rather get the reward for completing the quest then keeping something that he was supposed to be finding for the quest. So Kadin and picked up the glass figure and tucked it carefully away wrapping it up in some cloth so that it wouldn't get destroyed while he was bringing it back to the camper and still searching around. Mori felt like she wanted to find something so she continued on the path looking on her side to see if she could find anything. After some more searching she called out in the light spotting something glittering in the grass. She picked up another small glass figurine, this one looking like a simple glass marble.

She pointed it out to Kadin so that he could pick it up and put it away. Just like with the glass figurine he carefully wrapped it up and put it in his bag so that it wouldn't get damaged. They continued off along the path much the same way but they were nearing the end of the public park. Kadin couldn't help but wonder out loud how the kapper must have lost these figurines in the public park. The two that they had found seem to be sort of randomly placed along the path there wasn't any real reason as to why you must have dropped them where they had been dropped. Mori thought about it for a little while before theorizing that maybe he had stopped to look at the flowers. At both places there had been flowers sitting nearby that maybe he had noticed and wanted to stop and look at.

Kadin shrugged. That could have very well been the case. Mori was more likely to know these sorts of things. So he wouldn't have been surprised if the kapper had stopped at those two places in particular in order to look at the flowers and drop some glass figurines on the way. The two of them continued from the public park into the city. They wanted to check all of the shops just in case because the kapper hadn't really been able to remember all the places that he had visited that day so it would be best just to check all of them just in case. They didn't want to miss any of the glass balls and miss out on any of the reward. it's just because they hadn't checked all of the different shops and all of the different paths in the city. There would be a lot of places to check.

So Kadin and Mori made their first stop wandering around town square and just checking the paths first. They didn't want to do more walking than they really had to but they figured that the best that would probably be to check all of the paths first and then check all of the shops so that they could be systematic about it. While they were going around to different streets they kept their eyes out for anything shiny out of the corner of their eyes or something might be hidden because after all there were some loose pets in the lab sometimes so it wouldn't have been surprising if maybe some of those pets had picked up some of the items in the meantime and heading them away. So Kadin wanted to be sure to check the alleyways just in case anything was hiding in there because a pet had picked it up and brought it in there.

Mori agreed with his assessment. After some searching of the alleyways they finally did seem to find something. Although, it wasn’t anything good. Kadin saw a small pile of broken glass in one of the alleyways. He frowned as he sorted through it to see if he could find anything that looked as if it might have been a glass figurine. He figured that even if they were broken the kapper would probably want to know what they had found. And if he was lucky he would be able to put them back together again since you seem to care about these glass baubles very much. Or if nothing else you could recycled glass to make more. So Kadin sorted through until he found some pieces of glass that looked like they were made of similar glass as to what the glass figures they had found so far looked like.

He sorted these out from the pile of broken glass and he carefully wrapped them up in cloth to put with the other glass figures. He didn't want to break the glass anymore and you wanted to make sure to be safe so that he wouldn't hurt himself and the kapper wouldn't hurt himself when they went to take the glass the broken glass out of the back. Getting carefully tucked it away into the bag they decided to leave the alleyway so that they can move on to the next area. They checked the rest of the alleys in the area to see if they could find anything else. They searched high and low especially for more piles of broken glass because that was a health hazard and sort of surprising that none of the robots had picked it up before they got there. Must have been an oversight there.

It was pretty lucky that they had found it at all. After searching all the alleyways it seemed as if that one in particular was the only one that they were going to find. It was then that Mori decided to search the shops next. They started out in one of the first shops that were near where they were which happened to be the one that Alan owned. Since his shop was really just a cart in the middle of the street it was easy enough to check. They tried not to talk to him too much since he didn't want to get pulled into a sale but he did check around his cart to see if there's any broken glass or glass figurine. It seemed as if there weren't. They both have thought they kept it to themselves that if he found any he probably would have kept it for himself.

He did seem to like to collect rare things. And although the glass balls didn't seem that valuable they could perhaps could be considered rare things. Kadin wasn't about to go out of his way to ask about that. Instead they simply searched around the area and avoided the shopkeeper. Once they felt as if they had searched everywhere and how to found anything they moved on to the next shop. This will need to actually go inside for although it did feel a little bit awkward going inside a shop when he didn't plan on buying anything but they were doing it for a request so he had an excuse at least. The first one he entered was the one that sold a bunch of different plant creatures and things. They searched up and down the aisles to see if they could find anything where something might have been dropped.

Once again nothing really seems to stand out to them. All the isles were nicely organized and all of the floors were very well swept and cleaned up. They went up and down the rows a bit disappointed at not finding anything so Mori was the one who decided to go to the shopkeeper and see if he had seen anything. She figured that that would probably be either best bet since they weren't able to find anything on their own. Mori went up to the shopkeeper and asked and he did mention that he had found some glass baubles littered around the store earlier. She asked if he wouldn't mind giving them to them because they were trying to fulfill a quest in order to find all the glass baubles. He complied and gave them what he had found so Kadin could carefully wrap it up and put it away.

They felt as if this was such a success. Happy with their success in this store they decided to move on to the next one figuring that it wouldn't hurt to keep searching now that they had found some things. After all if the kapper had lost some things in the store he could have lost things and another story as well. So they moved on to the next door in their search. It went much the same as before. It seems as if most of the shopkeepers were very good at keeping their establishments pretty well cared for so they didn't find anything at first. It was only after they talked to the shopkeeper that they were actually able to get some of the glass baubles. The kapper had apparently gone to a lot of different shops. No wonder he was missing so many of the glass balls. They were all over.

He seemed to be dropping them everywhere. In the end was only really surprised that they haven't gotten a request like this until just now. If the kapper was so bad at holding on to his possessions it was surprising that he hadn't had to make this request a lot sooner. They continued going around to the shops collecting as many as they could. Kadin and Mori were both wondering if they'd even need to check the rest of the labs with the amount that they had already collected with end up being an up now that they had so many. Kadin put in the argument to keep searching after this even after they were done checking all the shops. After all if they had found something in the shops at how many were potentially in other parts of the world. You didn't want to damage or lose any of the stuff that they had gotten already.
