Hunting Monsters with Veila and Zeph!

Veila: Guess we just get a room with a view is all. SHouldn't be too much of an issue.

Zeph: What if someone sees us changing? *bushes a bit* There's ALSO A CHILD IN HERE!
(the "future alpha male" looks up)
kid:....no there's not...

Veila: Okay, what do you want, kid?

kid: I dunno....I'm just playin'....
Zeph: But it's our house!
kid: It's my dad's village!
Zeph: Hmph.

Veila: Just because you're dad's in charge, doesn't mean you can just stand around watching two women get changed in and our of their armor.

kid: But-
Zeph: You gonna argue with two women with huge weapons?
kid:....*darts out of the house*
Zeph: Thank goodness for that. *turns to the cat*
felyne: .....what? Eh, humans ain't my type anyway.

Veila: So, um....What exactly is your job here anyway?

felyne: well, I manage your furnishings and also a gallery of depictions of monsters, and I can also provide you DLC!
Zeph: ...DLC?
felyne: Directly Lisasoned Commitments! Like....special quests that the guild doesn't offer.
Zeph: Interesting...

Veila: Huh. Well that sounds nice.

(the next morning, rays of sunlight shine through the opening in the wall, illuminating the sleeping sisters. Zeph, splayed out over the covers in her underwear and unkempt hair, and half on top of Velia, wakes up with a start and a snort)
Zeph: ungh...mornings....why can't I slay mornings...

Veila: *opens her eyes* Because mornings are a part of the daytime, which is used for slaying monsters.

(Zeph gets up and stretches)
Zeph: So what do you think we'll get to hunt today? Duramboros? Agnaktor? Ooh! Diablos! Oh, or what about a Lagia-
(the entire village starts to violently quake, as the house shakes, throwing everything around, and causing Zeph to fall back into Veila)
Zeph: oof! what's going on?!

Veila: *rubs her tummy* Well I am hungry....But that must have been an earthquake of sorts. I suggest after we get everything sorted out with ourselves, we go and ask everyone around.

Zeph: Are you okay? No scratches or bumps? I think I got a few splinters in my foot...

Veila: I didn't get out of bed yet so I'm fine.

(a bit later, outside, the villagers are rambling about trying to survey the amount of damage done, and helping those hurt. Zeph runs outside while hopping, trying to put on her boot)
Zeph: Hey, what happened?
passing villager: Earthquake! big one! came right up from the ocean!

Veila: From the ocean? Did a volcano erupt or something? Or maybe it wa a monster I don't know of. *puts her hand to her chin in thought* Hmmmm.

Zeph: *goes up to the Guild desk* Hey...where's the clerk?
clerk's voice: I'm here! *the clerk rises up from under the desk* What did you need?
Zeph: Um....do you guys know what caused the quake?
(an old man with a long pipe sitting on a stool pipes up)
man: It were the Lagiacrus! Huge, nasty aquatic dragon. It'll eat you up if yer not prepared!
Zeph: Psh. Who are you, old man?
clerk: That's the village chief!
Zeph: Eep! I'm sorry!

Veila: Huh. He just looks like one of the guys around here. Nice to know he doesn't spend his time looking all official.

chief: eh ha ha ha ha! It's okay, lass.
clerk: Well, we don't know exactly caused the quake. But if it is a Lagiacrus, the Guild won't want you fighting it.
Zeph: Why's that?
clerk: Frankly...it could take you out with one swipe of its huge claw. The pinkie claw.
Zeph: oh...

Veila: So what should we do about it? Shouldn't the guild send someone or some team out to kill it?

clerk: Ehhehe...*smiles nervously* Well to be honest, we're kinda stretched thin as it is. You two are what the guild sent in, since you were all they had.
Zeph: So....what should we do?
clerk: Well, the guild sent you here, but they also won't let you fight the Lagiacrus...heh, seems to me like those decisions were made by different people! Anyway, I'd suggest taking whatever low-rank quests we have available, and building up your skills and strengths by beating weaker monsters, then tougher ones!

Veila: Well I guess we can hunt monsters, get better weapons and equipment and so on until we're ready. May we meet the town's blacksmith?

clerk: Well sure, he's just across the way and up those steps. But he doesn't supply the materials, and he doesn't forge for free.
Zeph: oh...Uh...we don't have any money...
clerk: Not to worry! I happen to have a quest all lined up for you!

Veila: I was gonna say we could get the money somehow, but that's great!
