The Open D/Meeting New People

It'd been a few days since Shoutarou put up the announcement about the Agency being open for business.

Granted, 'business' was a relative term on board Stacey, and given the general peaceful nature of the ship, Shoutarou didn't expect much - which was a good thing, as he hasn't gotten much. Or, well, anything so far.

He can only patrol so much, same with sitting in on brig folks - he can't hog all the shifts to stay busy. So for now, he's kicked back at his desk, feet propped up while he sips at a bit of coffee.

Someone should poke him before he starts to monologue to himself. He'll do it!

There is nothing at all familiar about this man as he walks into your agency.

He is tall, has impossibly taller orange hair, well muscled, and looks highly confused.

He saw the sign that said you find lost things.

"Hey, you the guy who finds lost stuff?"

Shoutarou looks up from his desk at the arguably oddly-dressed man, and nods. "I do more than that, but I can find lost things, yes."

"I'm lookin' for a blitzball, ya. I had it before I got taken by the whatever it is." Wakka still doesn't really understand this setup. "When I went through the locker with my stuff in it, all it had was just this blitzball here," said Wakka, as he showed off his regular-type blitzball.

"What I want is my World Champion back. And it's gotta be here." If it isn't, Wakka is going to die while looking for it.

There's something really awkward about a man coming to another man and asking him to help him find one of his missing balls.

"Ah..." Shoutarou makes a bit of a confused face, setting his feet down and leaning forward, putting his elbows on his desk. "As far as I know, if it wasn't in that locker, then we don't have it."

Wakka is an expert in enchanting balls, Shoutarou.

"But I had it. I gotta get it back. This one here," and here he showed the man his blitzball, "ain't the one I was usin'. Not at the end. It's gotta be somewhere else. It's, uh, a special weapon. I really gotta get Lord Ohalland's ball back."

Shoutarou stands, stepping around his desk, pulling out a camera. "Does it look much like that one?" This is a rather weird request, but, hey, work's work.

"Yes and no," answers the blitzer. "Same size, ya, but the color's red and black, red in the middle, black on the sides, and instead of just havin' regular blitzball bumps on the outside, the red part in the middle's covered in blades (http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/d/d3/WakkasBalls.png), ya? There's some blades on the black part, too."

Wakka, how do you not utterly maim yourself every time you throw this blade-covered ball? Wakka, how in the world do you manage to live while clutching it to your chest? Wakka, how? Just. How.

Shoutarou puts his camera down as Wakka starts describing the thing. Red and black thing, roughly the size of a basketball and covered in sharp pointy death.

Would be kind of hard to miss that.

"...sounds like a rather, erm, dangerous way to make a ball, to be perfectly honest."

"It's Lord Ohalland's blitzball. S'an antique, ya. He musta used it on his pilgrimage to kill fiends. It's more weapon, less sports equipment."

"Huh." Shoutarou takes some notes down, then shakes his head once. "Must take some good skills to kill things with a ball - even a ball covered in blades like that."

"You show me the fiend needs killin', I could kill it with this thing, ya," said Wakka as he spun the blitzball around on his finger. "Just take a little longer."

No, it makes no sense. Just go with it.

Shoutarou raises an eyebrow, but chuckles. "Well, I suppose that's one way to do it..." It makes more sense than getting superpowers from USB drives that you plug into your belt, anyway.

"Yeah, my way," said Wakka.

"So, how much does it cost for you to find stuff? All I got's this blitzball and my headband..." and if you think he's giving those up you're absolutely insane.

"Ah, there's not really an economy here on the ship that I can see, so I can't really ask for anything material. Maybe call in some kind of favor later, if that's alright with you? Like the old phrase 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours'?

"Alright, then. You find the World Champion, and I owe you a lot, ya."

Shoutarou nods and smiles. "I'll do what I can to find it."

"Thanks, bruddah," said Wakka. "You find it, you come find me."

He walked over to shake the man's hand. Shake his hand, Shoutarou.

"No problem, and will-do."

Shoutarou took the other man's hand, shaking it firmly.

The file name for that picture is, perhaps, the best part

Oh god. xD

Wakka's great because with him -everything- is a ball joke

And with that icon, everything becomes HORRIBLY UNNERVING.

Fanart of Wakka comes in three flavors: bizzare/poorly drawn; moe; and well drawn bara porn.

Pffft. So will Shou actually find the ball, or is he off on a wild goose chase? =0

I think it should end with a "I found where it is, but I need a celestial mirror to get it??"

Pfff. How would Shou find out about the need for a mirror? xD

Mostly through the fact that "IT'S RIGHT HERE, I CAN'TGET IT WHAT" and then Wakka going "NOT AGAIN."

Pfffft. I figure after some period of time, he'll tag Wakka in another thread about finding it. B]
