Finally, they'd do a proper mission! Marina was an adventurer at heart, and the only other person she was close to who she could go on these epic quests with was Finn. But now here they had, a task to put their adventurous spirits to the test. Alisa went without her morning work out this, but she did have a reinforce breakfast all the same: A glass of orange juice, and a bowl of cereal. She packed a few apples for a mid morning snack, though she was quite certain they wouldn't be as tasty as her friend's. However, this would be a big mission so they'd have to conserve their stamina as much as humanly possible; hell they didn't even know exactly what they'd find.
And as it appeared, not knowing what to find was exactly the reason her employer decided to put up this job request...
This time, Alisa stayed away from the flashy and stylish. She needed something practical, something she wouldn't mind it getting torn up at the first couple of tumbles... Something like a tank top and a pair of khaki pants. She also strapped on a pouch where she could carry not only supplies, but her Litwick partner, and finally stepped out of the inn.
Another scorching summer day.
Even with such light clothing Alisa started fanning herself with the first few steps outside, until a comforting, efreshing breeze graced her cheeks and sent her hair waving about behind her. She took the cue to grab and tie it behind her in a ponytail, while walking through the narrower, more shaded streets and thus avoiding the worst of both the heat and crowds. Fortunately, she didn't run into much of the latter, no doubt most people would be lazing about indoors.
...Or maybe at a nearby swimming pool.
But then she arrived at the forest, and from there reached the base of the mountain where the job request said to meet up. There she met a group of miners, and one of them - clearly the leader - approached her immediately:
"Mornin'", greeted the man with a cheerful grin, "You look like you're ready for an adventure already. Guess I don't need to ask why you're here. Just you though?"
Alisa flashed a soft but elegant smile, "Good morning, and no, it's not just me. There's another girl who will be here soon."
The man rubbed behind his head nonchalantly, casting a cursory glance where Alisa imagined the crux of this little job might be. The entrance to the cave:
"Well, If you can get past those Rune Knights, feel free to have a crack at it.", he answered, shrugging and pointing behind him.
Indeed even this far away Alisa could spot a couple of Knights, and could only hope there wouldn't be many more. Whether they were skilled and caught her or they proved too incompetent to do so... Considering how they're the law enforcement of Fiore, both those options sounded more appaling than appealing.
