B.L.A.D.E. Report #1 - The Ties That Bind

Hello! So here is my first post coming all the way from Sylvalum.



So, since the start of this journal, I've done quite a bit in the side-questing side. First on the list? Well..... ordering pizza; for a Manon named Jeshero. TEN WHOLE PIZZA's all in order to compensate for the creation of a necklace containing a Nopon matchmaking stone (a very valuable and hard rock that Tatsu gave to us). After receiving the necklace, the client/Lao's teammate Shingo takes it to give to his crush Dorothy. And with that, they officially become a couple. How sweet! Also, Lao mentions an interesting thought. As you know, our bodies are Mimeosomes or Mims; a robotic body meant to act just like a human body in almost every way. Regardless, our bodies are still fake and some human necessities can be ignored. Lao makes a quick comment on how he finds intimate relationships pointless in our state of being Mims. I should probably inquire what he means by that at a later point.

On our way back to the Administrative District, we meet up with this Nopon named Tora who apparently is Tatsu's rival in something. Tora mentions the location of a Nopon caravan in Noctilum called the Dodonga Caravan. Back at the Baracks, Tatsu explains that it is one of the larger caravans started by the legendary Heropon Dodonga, and that the caravan is where Tatsu himself comes from. We decide to accompany Tatsu to the caravan so that he can visit his "momapon". On the way, we complete some basic missions; miranium delivery, and hunting a pair of jacular saltats. By the way, be careful if you head North East of FN site 222. Around the area, there is a Ganglion fortress with level 50 humanoid and mechanical enemies.
(sorry for the lack of map location; will be added in next post)

Once we found the caravan, we receive a warm welcome by Tatsu's younger siblings and mother, Koko. After introductions and a humorous misunderstanding, we learn about Tatsu's glasses handed down by his father. Unfortunately, because of Tatsu's disappearance a while ago, Koko believed he was dead and threw his glasses into the ocean as tradition (to throw the belongings of the deceased into the sea to send them to their owners). After hearing this, we go looking for the glasses. After chasing down a certain indigen, we get the glasses back and return to the caravan. Tatsu tries on the glasses and I have to say, he looks...... amusing. In addition, we learn that Tatsu's father is this year's heropon to clear up debt and that Tatsu will inherit the leadership of the Dodonga caravan once his mother steps down.

Before leaving we meet this one Nopon called Nosusu who, continuing the family business, wants to sell her wares but is struggling. She decides to invent a hat that appeals to both Nopon and humans. We get her all the required materials and add some vibrant plumes to the pile to make a bright red hat.
The end result surprisingly is a hat that resembles Santa's hat. What I'm worried about is that it may attract hungry indigen which will be very bad for the victim. Did I make the right choice? As a last note, I invested some miranium into Orphean Technologies reaching their second milestone. and invented a new series of heavy wear that focuses on defense and evasion.


Thank you for reading and please! Tell me what you think about what Lao was talking about or if I should of made a small fluffy hat instead of the red hat.
