| A Sparkle About You | The Influencer Gala is coming up, highlighting new, existing and up-and-coming stars of the stream! For this, the city is encouraging even non-influencers to join in the fun. Do you have what it takes to influence someone in under a minute and shine your image to the masses? | Influencer stations will be set up around the shopping and scenic areas headed by NPC influencers, or even PC ones! The goal is to help train normal folk into helping them promote themselves, a product, or even their cat, and stream it! There's a variety of things to promote, performances to do and fun to have! There's a goal of five strangers to train and stream, whoever does it will be rewarded (insert a cute reward here), so be the stranger or the influencer here! | 500 moon coins + a sample gift box of whatever you promoted |
| Walk Walk Fuss Me Baby | A high-end boutique’s wares were sabotaged by a manufacturing error and the owner is absolutely distressed! To make up for lost sales, they want you to walk the catwalk and show off what they have remaining while wearing special masquerade style masks to go with the outfits. But can you really be yourself under the glitz and glam? | Certain masks start having strange influences. These are all based on the color the character wears. Red, Pink: The person becomes more needy for attention and will do all it takes to charm people for it and become more alluring to those looking on them. White, Blue: The person is melancholic and mellow, the world seems so lovely that they grow dazed and almost dreamy and will start to grow cuddlier and affectionate with anyone watching them. Green, Orange: The person becomes more competitive and will do anything to make sure no one stands in their way, and may want to pick fights with those not looking at them right. Black, Purple: The person becomes paranoid about everything and doubtful about themselves and needs reassurance and will grow desperate for it. To break the influence, just pull the masks off! | 800 moon coins + the outfits you modeled |
| Gacha My Heart | A special game store popular among the masses has finally opened up and as part of their celebrations, they’re having a 30% higher chance of lucky rolls for whatever you play! From plushies, accessories, free dinners and even gem and time cards for that special game you play, you can try your luck here! | What the owner forgot to mention is that the payment is drained from touch energy. If the person wants to keep playing, they'll have to keep sacrificing more and more to keep going! Play gacha responsibly, but for anyone who gets over 5 SSR prizes, they'll get a Moon coupon with credits good to spend anywhere you like! What a steal? | 700 moon coins (Coupon) + prizes you win |

| Let Me Be Your Sing-Song | Singing has been heard from some snow patches and caves and people are finding themselves drawn to the enchantment melodies and wandering deeper into the frigid zones, singing along and not returning. Something is out there, but what? Find out for me, please, and bring back the source of the songs before I lose more adventurers! | The travelers and adventurers who haven't returned are being turned into little ice sprites, winged creatures and enchanted to sing and play all day long until they become trapped in icicles who amplify any singing in their direction. To save them, people will have to sing their own songs in a duet and complete it to make the icicles melt and reform the adventurers! | 1000 moon coins + a music box to record and store the enchanting melody, good for three uses |
| It Had to Be Glue | There's a strange sticky substance that has been forming near the springs, and I've found that it's helping some warm weather herbs grow while the substance is on the ground, even in the coldest temperatures. I'm curious about it, and will pay whoever brings me back six jars of it to study. | The substance is a naturally forming glue from the residue of ice-slugs and fertilizer that works as a growth formula for anything planted within it, and can be used as a natural adhesive and gum for cosmetics! It has no smell, but it adds a glittering shine when used in art pieces! It only grows plants in frigid temperatures, however… and the kitten-sized ice-slugs making it can get very aggressive if they find people stealing it, so everyone should be prepared to slice through the glue with a warmth-imbued weapon! | 800 moon coins + a jar of Cooldhesive |
| Sugar, oh Honey Honey | I happened upon the sweetest treat during an expedition out and want to find it again because it saved my life and energized me. It looked like a strawberry, but made of ice! I'll pay for anyone who can bring me back a small box of them! | The treat is actually a Glaciberry, in which the snow-bees store their honey, which can be used as a sugar and sweetener substitute. They're usually left alone, but have a sweet flavor and scent that's attractive to Growlpoohs (a type of terrifying and adorable small bear, who will try and attack people if they see the berry is plucked). Find them before you get mauled for desserts! (Or bring a bear because they're cute when they have sweets.) | 800 moon coins + a Glaciberry Dessert |

| This Isn't Riding Like I Know | There's some extra space at the Farmlands that we've set up for a very fun competition. It's called the Partner Carrying contest! Run around a track with various obstacles while carrying the person you love the most. While the contest is called Partner Carrying, it could also be a sibling or a friend, too. Some of the obstacles are a little bit muddy, but what's a little mess when you're having fun? | The obstacles are filled with different things made with what nature provides, such as going through mud, jumping over logs, jumping over logs into water, and various other things. Be creative! How someone carries their partner is up to them, but the one carried isn't allowed to touch the ground during the race. Getting wet or muddy is naturally allowed. People are allowed to partner up even with strangers, the natives running the competition won't do a background check. | 2000 Moon Coins for making past the obstacle course and a "Clean Mud Off Things Instantly" Spell for participating |
| Shake your Groove Thing | There's a dancing troupe in town, and they claim that their dances can stimulate hearts and bring joy and blessings to all. I think those blessings involve my wallet, though. As I watched them dance, I kept giving them more and more credits to keep dancing! I'm broke now! Do something about them!! They were seen escaping to the Spring Segment. | They're thieves! They're using a mind-altering dance spell during their performances. The goal is to sabotage them and reveal to the world that these jerks can't dance at all, and break the spell with a real one! If the quest taker doesn't know how to dance, they'll be given a pair of dancing shoes that will let them move it, move it for fifteen minutes to break the spell. They might have to fight the criminal dancers after, so be ready for a real show! | Dancing shoes |
| ❗High Risk Quest❗ A Hundred Needles | Cacti are usually something you find from the desert, right? Well, I saw a bunch of them in the Spring Segment. Not just that, but they kept changing places every time I looked away. It's like one of those games where you need to freeze before someone spots you moving... but with cacti? In the spring segment? I was too afraid to approach them any more than that, but maybe it's worth checking out what they are? | Cactifolk are monsters that have risen from the Darkness due to someone leaving their dead cactus too close to the barrier. They move every time no one's looking by uprooting themselves from the ground and creating a set of legs and arms. Some of them even create faces. If someone gets too close to investigate, they stop pretending to be regular cacti and attack with needle projectiles. These needles cause a lot of damage and having a hundred of them stuck to somebody will kill them (99 does not, but it's really painful) due to the needles having an essence that will activate at that moment. When desperate, they will try to "hug" their opponents - by body slamming into the opponent they're fighting. Their needles act as a good defense against weapons, but magic does at least decent damage. To deactivate any of them, one must flip them upside down and pluck out a needle... or alternatively tickle them with a feather. The dark energy surrounding the monsters will make otherwordly abilities less effective against them. And yes, these are inspired by a certain recurring Final Fantasy monster. | 9000 Moon Coins |

| Crawling In My Skin CW/TW: plant parasites | Strange Plant monsters have been appearing all over the north area of the Jungle of Judgement. These monsters, like everything else, don't approach the Temple of Life, but they do approach anyone who wanders away from the place. A friend of mine got touched by one and now has a weird mark on his hand - and it keeps spreading! Please help me figure out how to help him. | Parasite Plants are monsters that will attempt to leave their mark on people. The mark starts spreading, attempting to take over their whole body and eventually root the person into the ground. It hurts quite a bit as the mark slowly spreads. It will take approx. 2 weeks for the plant to take over one's body completely. Samples suggest that keeping the mark in cold water will halt the growth - and making a potion out of the leaves of the monsters will kill it completely. The plants themselves are very weak against cold things. | 5000 Moon Coins |
| Motion Motivation | On the shores of the Great Ocean Lake, there are a variety of seashells. One seashell out of twenty is a special one that is essential for medicine that help with motion sickness. You will recognize a seashell with the right properties by touching them and feeling a cool sensation coming from the shell. I would travel to find them myself, but I am a victim of motion sickness and the beach can be a little dangerous without powers. But I will reward you with the potion and some moon coins for the trouble. | The seashells come in a variety of colors and shapes. There are other seashells with magical properties as well, as mermaids who come up occasionally would tell: one that lets you sense when rain is about start (feels moist despite having been in the sand for a good while) and another that can turn seawater into something one can drink (feels soft, despite having a hard shell). Like the one mentioned in the quest, these seashells are one in twenty regular. | 1000 moon coins per five seashells, motion sickness medicine |
| Not My Wonderwall | Do not trust the oasis that appears on the Deserter's Desert. I was taking a break on a beach near the Lighthouse when suddenly I started feeling thirsty. Instead of going back to the airship, I noticed an oasis nearby and decided it would be faster to go there than back. But once I got there, I was almost eaten by what looked like an octopus. In the middle of the sand! The oasis was apparently an illusion it can create, since it disappeared right after. A dangerous beast. Might be a good idea to get rid of it! | Sand Octopi are a giant species of octopus that live in the sand. They come to the surface only to lure animals and people alike into their illusions that look like a refreshing oasis. Once the prey is close enough, they will reveal themselves from the sand and try to eat whoever is there. Their tentacles feel rough and have the ability to stun someone - but if you slice them off they won't at least grow back! | 3000 Moon Coins |

| Golden Repairs | A vein of special gold has been found from the rocks near the Lake of Healing. Much like the lake's restorative powers, this gold will fix anything and leave a golden mark in its wake. We've heard there's an art called 'kintsugi' where you fix broken things like this. We would most definitely like some of this special gold, more of which can be probably found from the forest, but recently there's been more monsters roaming around. We will reward people for any rocks they can find with the gold in them. | Kintsugi Rocks can be found all around the lake and north of it, as they have been formed by the lake's healing powers. The melted gold can be used on various items as well as on people (the scars will turn golden). It's said to bring good luck to anyone and protect the cracks and wounds from reopening. The gold attracts Apprentice Crows: a species of crows that are learning under the Warlock Crows and do small elemental spells, like conjure fire or water at anyone with any sticks they find. | 4000 Moon Coins, Bottle of Liquid Kintsugi Gold |
| That's My Internet | The areas near Autumn Segment have had very bad connection lately. Anyone who lives nearby the river surrounding the city will tell you about how they've died in games due to bad connections. No one else believes me, but I swear every time connections go bad, these bioluminescent moths appear out of nowhere. Could they be connected to the case? Hehe, see what I did there? | Wi-Fi Moths are a species of special moths that feed on a variety of electricity and data connections by landing on wires and boxes that produce them. This time they have taken an interest in internet connections. A few moths wouldn't pose a problem, but there's a huge amount of them flying around. They escape to the Autumn Segment after they've eaten they share, glowing bright in their bioluminescent light. Capturing them will allow the person to boost their internet connection for a while, especially if they keep feeding the moths electricity (like full batteries). | 500 Moon Coins, Wi-Fi Moth |
| ❗High Risk Quest❗ I Came In Like a Landslide CW/TW: buried alive | Due to the increase in rain, Autumn Segment also has had an increase in mud. This, in turn, has created landslides. They're threatening the barriers built for natives to safely walk outside. On top of that, some people have mysteriously been swallowed by mud, never to be seen again. It's like a part of the landslides are alive. We need power holders to help out to manage the mud as well as they can. | The mud has been corrupted by the Darkness, making it into various Mud Monsters. These monsters take different shapes and forms to attack people and eat them to make their mud even stronger. People stuck inside the mud can survive for a while due to small air pockets inside the mud, but the longer it takes, the more likely they drown or suffocate. Their weaknesses and strengths are easily relatable to regular mud. The hard thing about the monsters is there are a lot of them, usually even at the same time. The dark energy surrounding the monsters will make otherwordly abilities less effective against them. | 9000 Moon Coins |

| Is That a Gun In Your Pocket or... | We're happy to announce the opening of a new sexy shop on the Underground Mall. We specialize in fantasies and have several costumes for people to act out their dream scenarios together. Or if you're unsure, you can get a free assessment of what kind of costume would make your figure even more sexy. The costumes also have a magical property of relieving stress the more you get into the role, so it's both sexy and nice for your psyche! Anyone who buys an outfit will get a voucher for a spa, located in the Underground Mall. | The costumes come in a variety of sizes and looks. What they failed to tell in the quest is that the costumes also make someone extremely horny if worn too long without getting into an intimate situation, so buying a costume for a regular party might be a bad idea. | Spa voucher |
| Under(wear)cover Mission CW/TW: Public Nudity | A casino in the Red Light District is hosting a competition, where you play with your clothes on the line instead of your money - but if you win you get a million Moon Coins. It's basically Strip Betting. The problem is, they're cheating and we know it. We need people to join in on the competition and find evidence of the staff playing dirty. The worst part is, if you lose all your clothes, they will kick you out into the street naked. Don't ask how I know... | The clothes you bet with start with accessories and proceed to underwear at the end. Giving up during the contest will lead to the same results as losing, except you at least have some clothes on your back. Dressing in multiple layers of clothes isn't forbidden, but the casino's temperature is made very warm on purpose. | 4000 Moon Coins for evidence, 1,000,000 Moon Coins if you win |

| Framing Game | I need someone to help me cover up for my crimes. I don't want you to become a scapegoat, but I want you to frame what I do onto someone else. What do I do? I rob people, especially those who are rich and famous. But the problem lately has been that I have the police on my trail, and I need more criminals to appear in their radar. I will leave stolen goods at specific locations marked on the app, so you can get them from those places. Later I will post a location to pick up your payment. | This person does a lot of robberies and there's a lot to be framed. Frame an NPC or a player character with their permission - or try to leave helpful hints about whom the crook actually is, if you're using the app for fighting crime. | 3000 Moon Coins |
| The Ace of Spades | Here's a list of people my boss wants to have beaten up. It's too much of a hassle, but I bet there are people on here who could do it for me. You'll get 75% of the pay I would get for the jobs, too - that is, as long as you don't get caught. You don't need to kill anyone, just make sure they feel the punishment and leave an Ace of Spades card next to their beaten up form. These people have angered the boss, but not enough to kill them yet. If it was just killing, I could have done it myself. | The people are a variety of native NPCs, including Law Enforcement officers and Research Center staff. Who knows, maybe one of the player characters has been named as well. | 7000 Moon Coins |

Everyone should always have some spare mayonnaise at home! Do you want to try it?
[He brought some extra spoons, just in case he can win more people over to the joyous cause!]
no subject
Uh..sure, but where is the rest of the food? Surely you don't mean to eat a cabbage you've just caught with it?
[He says, momentarily forgetting how much mayo Hijikata puts on his food as if he needs food to eat it with.]
no subject
[Phew! Crisis averted... for now! There's no telling if he won't invite him to eat mayonnaise on cabbages with him later. He scoops some mayonnaise from a fancy-looking jar and offers the spoon to Tartaglia.]
Just hold it up and see if they come for it! I'm testing which mayonnaise they like best, you see. A friend gave me this gourmet set for Christmas, and it's not bad, but I want to find out the cabbage kites' opinion!
[Totally normal. Who wouldn't want to know what the cabbage kites think?]
no subject
He tentatively takes the spoon from Hijikata, smelling the mayo first. Smells like...mayo.]
I'll give it a try, but...I'm still a little in the dark on how you're going to be able to tell how much they like it or not. Though, wouldn't you be a better arbiter of judgment in this case?
[Even so, he's holding the spoon up in hopes one of the creatures flies down to eat it, watching closely to see if any seem interested.]
no subject
Really, no one explained this to you? If they love it enough, their soul will ascend, and they'll leave their body behind. You can tell by it falling to the ground - try to catch it!
[Clearly, Tartaglia!!]
I'm glad you deem me the greatest subject matter expert, though.
[A couple of cabbage kites are fluttering closer... they don't have readily apparent faces, but one of them is dipping its front end down towards the spoon! The moment of truth is near...]
no subject
There's no one else in this world I would trust more to judge the quality of mayonnaise than you.
[He means that.]
But I guess we'll see if they have as good of taste as you do.
[He holds the spoon up a little higher, letting the cabbage come down and press its leafy body against it (he's so confused how this works, what in the world,) and it seems to...press into it more! Just a little, until he sees the kite shudder suddenly.
A little spirit, visible to him thanks to his winter powers, seems to float up out of the cabbage as the body falls. He's so mystified by that alone that he almost doesn't realize that he's got to catch the cabbage, his eyes widening as he reaches out to grab it with one hand.]
Oh-!
no subject
We'll get you a separate bag to take yours home later; until then they'll be nice and cool in here.
[He thoughtfully turns the mayonnaise jar in his hand, reading the ingredient list... clearly, it's up there in quality with his own favourite brand! The cabbage kites have spoken.]
So Ozymandias really showed some good taste there, I'll have to give him that. Lets try some of the other flavours too!
[There actually are mayonnaises that the cabbage kites will eat, but not die over, as they're about to find out! Ultimately, it's more reassuring than anything - a creature who leaves this world over any cheap mayonnaise, after all, would be anything but discerning.]
no subject
You know, I'm surprised you're not filming all this.
[There are some things he's oblivious to, but not social media. He's seen how people post their whole lives online from being here long enough.]
I bet you'd have a market all to yourself on being a mayonnaise aficionado.
[He doesn't really want to taste the mayo that some random cabbage kite has rubbed its body all over, so he'll wipe the mayo out of the spoon and hold it out to get some different kind that Hiji's brought with him so they can continue to test the mayo out.]
no subject
I'm not one of those newfangled streaming people! You've got to live in the moment and enjoy your experiences. If you only focus on "creating content", your life passes you by.
[Does he sound like an old person already, or what... regardless, he happily shares all his mayonnaise: 4 fancy jars (different preparations, 2 of them mixed with other condiments
like those infamous Heinz brand monstrosities, but posh), 2 local mainstream brands that are new to him - one bottled, one jarred - which he was curious to see the cabbage kites' opinion on, and his home-imported mainstay, Mayorin mayonnaise.]no subject
[He laughs, but honestly he doesn't totally disagree with Hijikata on this one, but he also doesn't think it's all that serious unless it's your actual job. He's debated it himself, wondering if there was a fun way he'd enjoy making fighting content, but ended up shelving the idea when he had no idea how incorporating a camera would work in dangerous situations like that.
Fishing content tho...
Childe takes the first jar, one of the mainstream brands that he's pretty sure he's seen in the grocery store here, and puts some on his spoon to keep trying this stuff out. It's weird but it's also free food, right?]
Besides, you'd be surprised how easy it is to find like-minded people on the subject. It wouldn't hurt to do it as a hobby.
no subject
Hmm, no. It's not for me. I don't want to spend all the time editing and uploading the videos and engaging with the comments and whatnot. Besides, people just don't tend to see what I see.
[And he appreciates Tartaglia's readiness to try all the mayonnaises with him all the more! He's happy!]
Let's see how the kites like this one!
[He's just going to keep at it until his bag is full to the brim, isn't he...]
WAIT HIJIKATA DIED WAHT
I don't think they're not getting it for the reason you think, my friend...you put far too much mayo on your food...
BUT that's rude and he's going to keep that thought to himself, sorry buddy but you're still kind of a mayo freak in his eyes! (He has no room to talk, he's the exact same way but about fighting lbr)]
Y-Yes, let's.
[Holding his spoon up high, he sees another kite descend towards him. Time to see if this store-bought stuff is going to be approved alongside the artisan stuff.]
...What are you going to do with all the cabbages, anyway?
He did, and it was pathetic!
He is, of course, completely right in thinking that... but good luck getting Hijikata to believe it! Many have tried (and "mayo freak" is one of his most common nicknames back home).]
Oh, I'll share with friends and neighbours. I'm mainly in it for the joy of feeding the kites! But my mentee and I also eat plenty of cabbage meals during these weeks.
[Poor Shoto never asked for this, but he also doesn't have it in him to complain about his much-admired sensei's inclinations!
As a pair of cabbage kites approach Tartaglia's spoon, Hijikata breathlessly watches... but it simply eats (several mouth(?)ful, if the bobbing motions are any indication) and flutters on. It's apparently good enough to ingest, but not good enough to die for!]
oh my godddddd hijikataaaaa
Mentee, eh?
[He raises his eyebrow.]
Taken on a disciple of your own? A promising one, I hope.
[Can he fight them???????? :DDDDDDDDDDD]
Life lesson learned: Don't get too cocky, even if you're a triple isekai veteran!
Oh, promising doesn't begin to cover it. I'll be honest, the kid's a dozen times stronger than me already. He came with fire- and ice magic from home and had been training to be a professional hero since he was little, but he really wanted to become a swordsman after meeting me.
[He can't keep the pride out of his voice saying that! He already took Shoto under his wing on Avalon, and seeing him get knighted just before the final battle to save the multiverse made him feel more accomplished than anything. Also yes, Tartaglia can fight him! Shoto never turns down a challenge.
He almost missed the cabbage kite that was waiting before to approach his spoon and try the offering... only to stop after just a moment and flutter away. Apparently, they want their mayonnaise pure and mixed with any other sauces!]
no subject
Well, [he says through a chuckle as the cabbage flies away,] it's good to hear that you've inspired someone to pick up a blade. One should always be versatile when it comes to the many combat situations that are bound to crop up. Besides...
[He says slyly, eyes narrowing as he shoots a devious smirk over to Hijikata.]
You and I haven't gone head to head yet either, have we?
no subject
[So far, they've always gone up against monsters together! Having seen the sheer breadth of Tartaglia's abilites, Hijikata frankly doesn't expect to come out on top against him, but hell if he won't make him work for it.]
Isn't the martial arts festival going to be sometime soon? Did you sign up for the tournament?
[If they're going to fight, they may as well do it in front of an audience to push them to do their absolute best!]
no subject
[He'd never miss out on the chance to fight, and it was Ayaka's festival on top of it- there's no way he couldn't be there. He grins back at Hijikata, shooting back a knowing smile.]
I'm guessing you signed up too, yes?
[Meaning they might face off there...perfect.]
no subject
[He tries the leftover mayonnaise that the cabbage kite didn't want, lets out a non-committal little hum - it's not bad, but really not to-die-for either -, and refills his spoon with the remaining "pure" gourmet variant, offering it to Tartaglia too.]
If we don't end up being matched this time, I hope there'll be another tournament this year! But in the worst case we can always make our own fun.
no subject
True, you know I'm always up for a challenge anytime, anywhere.
[His eye twinkles as if he'd be ready to fight Hijikata right here and now (he is and he would) but he gets quickly distracted by a cabbage that finally flutters down to inspect the mayo on his spoon. If it dies here, he might have to ask Hijikata where he got it from so he can use it in some of his traditional Snezhnayan recipes.]
Which parts of the tournament did you sign up for? I only signed up for one.
no subject
Same here! picked the Seasons Cup. I'm not much of a brawler; I'm much better with weapons and magic, so I skipped the Crystal Cup. Same for the Rainbow Cup since I've got no powers from home.
[He laughs a little, tossing the cabbage up in his hand.]
Don't get me wrong, I think I do pretty damn well in my world, but I'd get the shit bodied out of me by you guys.
[Vision holders and other people who arrived with fancy abilities from home, that is!]
no subject
I think your command of your seasonal powers here gives you more than an edge than you think- but it's also true that there are many here who have power that makes the seasonal powers we received upon arrival look like children's toys.
[He says it like he's speaking from experience, smiling as he catches the cabbage that's now just a plant in his hands. It gets added to Hijikata's bag, before he sets his arms akimbo.]
But because of your decision there, unfortunately we won't be able to face off in the tournament...I signed up for the Rainbow Cup.
no subject
He smiles at the compliment, but it is true that some people here have powers that are altogether goldlike (aforementioned pharaoh potentially included) which put the seasonal ones to shame. His face falls a little at the revelation that he and Tartaglia won't be able to face off at the festival, only to brighten up again when he hears which cup he signed up for.]
You've got a chance of facing my mentee, then! He signed up for the Rainbow Cup too, what with his inherent elemental control. His name's Shoto. You can't miss him; his hair's half red, half white.
[Sorry, Shoto, but that is your most visually distinctive feature!]

[Well that's exciting, and so is what Hijikata's already told him about Shoto. Hopefully he'll get to face off against this "hero in training" in the tournament- he hopes that the guy doesn't get knocked out before Tartaglia can fight him.]
I'll keep a lookout for him, one way or another. Even if I don't end up facing him in the tournament, I'll have to ask him if he'd like to go a round or two with me at another time. Can't miss out on an opportunity like that.
I'll put his swordsmanship to the test, too. I hope you'll have taught him well.

[In fairness, a lot of Shoto's prowess as a swordsman is due to his own ambition. Besides the daily early morning training routine with Hijikata, he seems to practise a lot in his own time!]
I'm afraid I'll have to root for him if the two of you meet, but I know you'll give him one damn good fight.
[Now he's excited, too! A battle between Tartaglia and Shoto would be more even than one between himself and the Harbinger, and he really can't tell who'd come out on top.
He catches another dead cabbage kite, and when he puts it in the cooler bag, he finds that there's almost no space left. It looks like they'll need to call it a day soon (though they can catch a few more for Tartaglia first)! He looks through his pockets and procures a flimsy plastic bag. It won't hold more than a handful of cabbages, but with the fast travel routes available, they should stay fresh until he's home!]
