"Dont question It and let's go." Rosalyn said to Shiya about the question with Pit and how he could easily fly without using a horse. The group continued to trotted through the desert with there horses, after some time had past Penny looked at Rosalyn. "Rosalyn, It's almost been an hour, how do we know were even going the right way?" Penny said to Rosalyn as Riley and Ninjabread also commented on the manner. "She does have a point." Riley said as Ninjabread Man spoke. "Are we lost?" He said to Rosalyn as she continued to trotted forward.

Before stopping.

"No...Were not."







A hill stood In front of the group along with a stream of water just In front of the hill, unfortunately It was bad for the horses due to there origins. "We can easily look around the desert on that hill, unfortunately we cant let the horses touch the water, they'll probably freak out, and other reasons I don't want to discuss...And we don't want to put another strain on this mission." Rosalyn said as the group walked towards the stream as they tried to cross It so they can make It to the hill.

(Roll a DEX 5 to get past the stream, since Pit and Shiya are sharing a horse, one correct roll from one of them will do.)

After some difficulties, the four managed to get past the stream, however before they could go up the hill, they turned back towards Pit and Shiya and waited for them to cross.

"Your turn...Dont screw up."

"Why do you need a horse when you have legs?"

Pit snarked, answering Shiya’s question with a question, preferring not to get into the embarrassing answer.

"So you can lead these horses to water but you can’t make them drink it? But that must mean..."
Pit scratches his head before realizing.

"Poor guys… That means we can’t bathe in a hot spring together!"
He lamented, petting his horse with sympathy.

"Well we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it."
Pit said to the horse, trying to change the subject.
"Right now we gotta cross this stream! Hya!
Pit giddied the horse to jump the stream.

(1aesiaDcp_1d20+3 Pit's horse jumping the water fall)

"Ha! Didn’t even have to do the Yoshi thing either.
No No I didn’t mean that!"
Pit quipped in relief before apologizing to the horse about what he implied.

    Since Shiya was riding behind Pit on their shared horse, he decided to lighten the difficulty on Angel boy by vaulting off of the horse and to the other side of the river. After Pit was able to guide their horse across the stream, Shiya merely patted the animal on the side before deciding to walk beside it for now. "There, that should do it." He stated before starting up the hill. "Even from this hill we should at least be able to get a bearing as to what direction we need to go i guess."

"Hey Pit; after we redirect ourselves, could you fly on ahead to scout out the area for enemies or vantage points and shortcuts?" Shiya asked while steadily making his way upwards.

[Deleted]

Rosalyn shook her head when the group managed to get past the stream, she quickly turned the direction of the hill and moved upwards, with Pit feeling sorry for the horses as they cant drink due to there fear of the water. "Oh don't worry, they just get water injections which are completely safe." Rosalyn said to Pit as the group nearly made it to the hill, with Shiya wondering If Pit could fly up ahead to see If there was anything around.

Until Rosalyn stopped.

"No, we don't need to do that."



Below the group was a small unknown town with people walking around, fortunately there was a sign In front of the group that tells them the name of the town, which was called "Moveville." as Rosalyn pronounced It before looking back at the group. "This town might have information about Pippi's whereabouts, let's go." Rosalyn said to the group as the horses trotted downward towards the town, eventually the group entered as a few citizens watched them before carrying on there day. Eventually Rosalyn stopped her horse and jumped off of It before tying It to nearby wood.

As she looked up to a building she was standing In front of.




A saloon. "Buckhorn?" Penny said looking up at the saloon, doing the same thing to her horse as Ninjabread tied It up also, Riley did the same as he soon jumped off the joined the trio. "What a nicely western name." He said jokingly as Rosalyn looked at the group.

"Information might be inside, Is everyone ready...To socialise with cowboys and possible bandits?"

"W-with Needles?”
Pit cringed at the thought of injections.
"Why doesn’t that sound better?”

"Uh yeah about the whole “flying” thing, I… can’t exactly uh…”
Pit began to protest before sighing in relief that according to Rosalyn he didn’t need to.

Pit steered his horse down into town and parked it alongside Rosalyn and Ninja Bread man.

"Hoowie! Darn tootin’ I’m ready!”
Pit confirmed in his best western accent, widening his stance and gripping his belt.

"What’s say we mosey on in and squinny with the swad inside!”
It seemed that he was looking forward to this part since the mission started.

    Shiya was about to inquire further on just what it was Pit had an embarrassed face on for when they had suddenly stopped. In front of the group was an extremely old-desert town that just screamed western movie cliche; not to even mention the bar they were now going into to gather information, called the "Buckhorn".

"Why do I have a feeling that this is going to end badly..." He said moreover to himself before slowly walking up to the doorway of the saloon.

    After Pit's outburst in 'western lingo' though, their odds looked really bleak. "Yeah? No. Well, good idea Pit; but needs better execution." Shiya came up to the conclusion as with a weary face he pushed open the doors to the saloon rather roughly.

    "Alright, listen up here everyone! We're lookin' for a guy named Pippi; worse for wear, yay high, and most likely a prisoner against his will. *pitooey*" He spit into a nearby spittoon for added effect as he raised his voice in the bar. No matter how 'tough' these guys acted, at heart all of it was a facade to check if newbies were 'manly' enough to enter their comradery. "Now we can do this the easy way..." Shiya paused for dramatic effect while trying to look as intimidating as a mysterious 17 year old could of his physique before adding in a little pizzazz of his own brand.

Cracking his knuckles he finished while flashing a dangerous grin, "Or we can do it the really easy way." Step one of surviving in the west, intimidation, check.

As the group entered the saloon, filled with animals In wild west clothing, they all turned when Shiya chewed up the performance, which actually made everyone In the saloon offended. "Do those men take us as stereotypes!" A lizard In clothing said as a fox In a dress said. "They think were In some spaghetti western!" She said as she growled at the group, Rosalyn realised that they were going to get done for at this rate, so It seem's she had to take over...Again.

Rosalyn stepped In front of Shiya. "Relax, there from the south...You know, a place where you folks don't act like what your doing here." Rosalyn said to the animals In the saloon as she pointed to Penny, Riley and Ninjabread Man. "This here Is my posse, were here looking for someone In our group who's missing." Rosalyn said to the animals as they all gasped In sympathy...Before going back to what there doing, now not caring about this "Missing Person."

Rosalyn turned towards Shiya. "Ok, It's obvious they didn't like you performance, I guess being yourself Is fine." Rosalyn said to the two as the group advanced further Into the saloon, eventually they came across a bar. with one cloaked figure sitting by the counter. "Uhh, were still here to." Riley said to Rosalyn, but she ignored him.

Rosalyn looked at the gecko bartender, who looked at her back. "What do you need." He said to her as Rosalyn replied. "Simple...Plum juice." Rosalyn said as Penny replied. "Get your nearest flowers and mash them up Into liquid format." She said as Riley replied. "Same as hers." And as for Ninjabread Man's order?

"Milk."

Pit cringed at Shiya’s spit, but was immediately reminded that it was part of the classic cowboy act…for some reason.

“Well Shee-yoot I plum forgot to do that!”
Pit cocked his head back and tried to gargle in an attempt to lather up some spit to follow Shiya’s lead.
But Pit couldn’t got a bit of spit to do it.

“…heh…dry as a gulch.”
Pit wheezed sheepishly.

Pit hid behind Shiya like a yellow bellied coward when the patrons of the bar showed since of offense toward their collective mannerisms.
Luckily Rosalyn stepped up to vouch for them. He wiped the sweat that he didn’t notice was on his brow since outside in relief.

The group advanced further into the saloon. Everything seemed so new and foreign to Pit, who was only used to Greek/roman styled establishments.
It was all so exciting! Pit seemed excited to order his first cowboy drink when they arrived at the bar.
He climbed up on the bar stool and didn’t hesitate to resume his cowboy lingo.

“Yeah, I’m fixing to paint my tonsils with a shot of Drink of the Gods, please.”
Pit ordered with an elbow on his knee and a cool look on his face.
He didn’t know what they served in western saloons so he figured he’d start with his favorite drink and see if he was lucky.

    Well that was frightening. If not for Rosalyn's quick save back there, Shiya felt like him in Pit would have been plum done run out of town or lynched! Welp anyways, if he was gunna be expected to play the part, no point in stopping.

"Howdy pardner. I'll have one of them there heavn'ly drinks like my plun-feathered friend!" He said in a western accent while putting on a cowboy hat. Whereas he even got it, even he doesn't know.

    "So ya'll got the info-hog we be meanin to skewer?" He jargoned onward with the facade, now lookin the part too. Hope things don't go ary, but hey atleast Pit was still goin at it! "Sorry if ya'll confuzzled us to be attitudinizing ya'll." Takin a seat next to the Angel boy, Shiya let out a hearty laugh to lighten up the mood. "Pleasure before business though, so let's get them drinks! Hope ya'll ain't drivin a lick and a promise."

[Deleted]

Despite the fact that some of the orders the group made sounded impossible to make, the gecko bartender, actually managed to make the required drinks the group wanted. Getting the plum juice was easy for Rosalyn, along with the milk for Ninjabread Man. As for the flower drinks Riley and Penny wanted, the bartender walked towards his private garden outside the saloon and cut a few flowers from It, before mashing It up In a blender and turned It Into liquid, as for the gods drink and heavily drinks for Pit and Shiya...He just got a white bottle and black bottle.

He soon served the group there drinks as he looked back at them. "Pleasure doing business." He said as Rosalyn slapped some money on the counter. "Here's some money." Rosalyn said as she placed more money on the counter, confusing the bartender. "You bartenders can give us a little tip of what we need, one free question from all of us, now." Rosalyn said as the Bartender sighed.

"I guess I cant say no to a little more doe." He said as he took the money before looking at Riley, Penny and Ninjabread Man. "You three, you go first with your questions." The Bartender said as Riley, Penny and Ninjabread Man answered there questions.

"Will I ever become a real ninja?"

"Only If you put your mind Into It."

"Will I ever find my parents."

"Yes but you'll have to make a tragic decision."

"Will this virus ever end."

"Only If you help make the world a better place, then yeah."

After answering the first three questions, he turned towards Pit and Shiya, waiting for two more.

"And your two questions are?"

All that flying and worm fighting and horse riding out in the sun really left Pit parched and thirsty for a drink.
The bartender couldn’t acquire Pit’s requested Drink of the Gods, so he served him something from an untitled white bottle instead.
Pit gladly took a sip without a second thought. No sooner did the drink meet his lips that he noticed something wasn’t right about it.

“Wait… This isn’t Drink of the Gods… This is…”
Pit washed the liquid around his cheeks for a better taste examination.

“Wow. Lady Palutena wouldn’t like me drinking this…”
Pit took another guilty sip.

“Well, what Lady Palutena doesn’t know can’t hurt me. Cheers!”
He weakly tried to justify as he chugged the rest of the beverage.
This chug lasted through the question and answer round between the bartender and our posse.
By the time it came time for Pit’s answer, he finally lowered his glass from his face.
He was looking groggy and worse for wear, very droopy and a bit red in his face.
looked up at the bartender with soggy, pleasing eyes, and sniffled out his question.

“ “Will I ever get another game?”
he asked desperately.

    Grabbing the black bottle from the counter, Shiya swirled around the contents of the bottle a few times to try and see what it was. It certainly didn't smell good but Pit was drinking it right?

...
...

    Okay, yeah scratch that. Drinking this is that bad if it got an Angel drunk like that. Shiya hasn't drunk alcohol before, and he'd like to keep it like that. Sliding the black bottle over to Pit for the Angel-boy to down, Shiya scratched the back of his head before putting on a faint smile.

"Yeah; on second thought, I'm not that thirsty." He excused before turning his attention back towards the bartender.

    "Any question at all, and you'll have the answer? Heh, yeah sure." To be fair, Shiya was pretty justified to doubt the shady barkeeper in the middle of a western saloon that was answering questions like a genie. After pausing to think of something though, an idea came to him. He might as well try since any input would be well and good. He had been trying for a while, so another input on whether he wasn't foolishly dreaming would help. "Alrighty then, how about this?" Sitting up, Shiya stared intently at the barkeep.

"Is it possible for just one boy to end a war?" He quietly uttered while keeping his focus on the answer.

[Deleted]

The Bartender looked at Pit and Shiya as they answered his question, with Pit being something fourth wall breaking and Shiya's something meaningful, Rosalyn kept quiet as he answered both there questions, he turned to Pit first. "It will, possibly, the beings upstairs change from time to time." The Bartender said pointing upwards as he turned towards Shiya. "Decisions count, keep your friends and family close...And your enemy's closer, those are the keys that will help you win a war." He said as he finally moved onto the last person to ask a question.

Rosalyn.

"I'm looking for someone, his name Is Pippi and he was taking by a gang of zombies." Rosalyn said as the cloaked figure sitting beside the group quickly looked at them, before turning on his stool and jumping off, walking towards the back door of the saloon, The Bartender answered Rosalyn's question. "Yeah he was here." He said as he grabbed a clean empty glass bottle...And soon put It under some dirty water under the counter so he can have something to clean.

"He was!?" Rosalyn said getting Interested In the Bartender's answer. "Yeah, he had rope around his vine neck and was being lead around by Gregory and his posse of zombies, I didn't know why he was treated like that, but I served them some drinks, especially to Gregory and his top minion, Blink-Eye, they boasted about going to an abandoned manor a couple of miles here, Goth Manor, It was all recorded In our CCTV footage." The Bartender said pointing to the camera In the corner of the saloon as Rosalyn said curiously, but thought about something. "Pippi...I cant believe you had to go through that, I'll save you no matter what." Rosalyn thought to herself as she spoke to the Bartender.

"Goth Manor?" She said as the Bartender replied. "Used to belong to a family called the Goths, unfortunately due to situations from the love and supernatural side, the family unfortunately broke apart and left there manor behind, now abandoned In these parts of the deserts for gangs like the one your looking for are hiding In...As for the location, someone here already knows." He said.

"Who?"

"Him."

He pointed at the cloak figure who was about to leave through the back entrance, which he quickly did, Rosalyn got off her stool. "AFTER HIM!" Rosalyn pointed to the back door as she ran out of It, Riley, Penny and Ninjabread Man followed from behind.

"That was actually some good milk."

As soon as the group left the saloon, they caught sight of the cloak figure running from them. "Get him!" Rosalyn said as they ran towards him, trying to stop him so they can question him about the whereabouts of Goth Manor.

She said to the two, they were her last chance of getting the figure, If they didn't catch up to him then he would of successfully escaped the group, possibly back to Goth Manor.

“Woaaah that’s a deep question man.”
Pit marvelled at Shiya’s question.

“Well if the people upstairs are changing, it’d be rude to spy on them.”
Pit grinned slyly.

“Pippi was here? Where?.”
Pit looked around with sudden alarm.
Pit started poking around the saloon, looking for a Pippi he didn’t hear wasn’t there.
Pit didn’t find him, but he did find the camera in the in the corner when the Bartender pointed it out.

“Hey look I’m on TV! I wanna give a shout out to all my peeps!”
Pit said making Skyworld gang signs at the camera.
“And Pippi, if you’re watching, don’t worry. We’re coming to save you, fam!”
Pit pounded his heart with his fist.

Pit was alarmed by the sudden commotion of his posse running out here

“Follow that Winkster!”
Pit battle cried as he began to chase after the cloaked figure as well.

“Come here you sand worm!”
Pit tackled the cloaked figure to the ground.

    Shiya let out a sigh at the Bartender's answer. Keep his friends and family close, that remark just brought back the pains of guilt and grief that had spawned the question in the first place. However, he didn't have much time to despair over his answer as his attention was immediately redirected at a cloaked person hastily leaving the bar.

"Hey you! Stop!" He yelled out at the retreating figure.

    Rushing out of his seat while knocking it over, he gave chase towards the man out the back door and into the open. To his right, he saw his comrades one by one fall. Pit's was the most hilarious due to his drunken stagger assuring he had no chance whatsoever at catching him. Straining himself Shiya ran as fast as his legs would carry him, Shiya reached out his arms to catch the man, but fell behind as he outpaced him. Gritting his teeth, a look of anger passed over Shiya. "Your not getting away that easily. TRACE ON! REINFORCE!" He yelled out as blue networks of enerGy coursed throughout his body. Reinforcing himself was a risky maneuver that would hurt a great deal, but there would be no point in continuing if this guy got away.

B7ZlrKOJp_1d20+2 Easily out-speeding the retreating foe due to his enhanced self, Shiya ran straight past the being. On his way past, he grabbed the back of the foe's head before dragging him forwards and then slamming it into the ground while sliding to a stop. Bent over panting to himself, his hand firmly locked on the back of the person's head while forcing it into the dirt roughly, Shiya's body shivered in pain. "Stay. *Pant* Down. If you know what's good for you." He angrily said, the pain not attributing and benefits to his mood.

p_1d20-3 (Charisma roll) 

"Now your going to tell this nice girl where her friend is, or else your gonna have a bad time." He gritted his teeth while squeezing his hand.

    Reinforcing his hand while ignoring the pain, Shiya raised the man roughly by the head before facing him towards Rosalyn. Of course this was completely a bluff, but this guy didn't know Shiya or whether he was as ruthless as he appeared!
