Seeing that the two men had tired themselves out by just resting endlessly, the octopus Navi went to greet them himself at their resting spots. He declined Nestman's gesture, as his body would take up all of their precious resting spots. "It's good to see good samaritans even in places like this. I apologize that you've waited so long till your muscles started aching. Maybe I ought to return the favor by massaging your worn bodies?" Despite asking beforehand, his tentacles already start twitching uncomfortably. Zed quickly picked up his partner's antics from proceeding. "Chrosa, I know you just want to be a gentleman, but that's gonna give off...a bad impression. 'Sides, there's more pressing stuff that we need to do." Chrosa wondered the first bit and what Zed meant before remembering the mission. DramaMan gave some basic intel of the area when he asked for the intel of the area. The pair scouted around to confirm DramaMan's words. All around them was the green grass, and a gurgling brook, the place would be a napping haven minus the fact that there aren't any shade to cover the sun. "This place isn't very... dramatic is it?" Zed commented the view dishearteningly, pun unintended.

However Nestman interjected and pointed out the towering obelisk and faced upwards to the veiling cloud above, making everyone look at the spectacle too. The obelisk made Chrosa more mystified by the egg's presence, "Now then, if there's no wildlife down here, how could anything even survive up there?". Zed clears his Navi's bewilderment, "You shouldn't be so naive Chrosa, the networld obviously works differently than the real world. I mean, we've got living proof right here," he points at DramaMan. "Oh yes, how is DramaMan able to survive in a place devoid of entertainment?" Chrosa was genuinely intrigued, which made Zed give out a small chuckle.

"Anyways, I apologize for digressing." Chrosa shifts his mind back to the egg. NestMan seems to take the egg business very seriously, spilling his emotions and loving care to the egg. Even DramaMan became more enthusiastic over the welfare of the egg. He readily hands over the egg to Chrosa, which he tried his best to handle with utmost care. Chrosa stores the egg in a place that he can guarantee the egg's safety...inside his gelatinous head. Shoving it inside his head, its size makes Chrosa's head bulge a bit, which looked quite uncomfortable to viewing eyes. "Function over form, huh?"

After the small talk with his patrons, Chrosa excused himself to examine the stone monument. He looked up to find the pinnacle, but it struck to him that the height of the monument exceeded the clouds and even beyond that. Clearly this wasn't any normal structure. Because when he touched it's surface, he felt a strong force acting upon his arms, and the weight of his body was providing a much greater force that pulled him to the wall. The shocking reaction made Chrosa tug his body away from the walls, freeing himself from the monument. He stumbled back due to the excess force that he used. Luckily for the egg, it was suspended in Chrosa's head, safe and sound.

"Woah, you alright Chrosa?" Zed stammered when he saw his Navi acting ungentlemanly. "I'm unscathed thankfully. However this towering stone slab clearly has something quite unusual about it. It was pulling me with great force when I touched it." Chrosa was perplexed and clearly was hesitant to touch the walls again. His operator was gathering some thought to the mysterious phenomenon. After a few moments, Zed caught a flash of clarity. "I think I've an idea. You might think it's magnetized, but I think it creates a huge gravitational force so that it changes the wall to act like the 'ground'. So I think you'll easily scale it if you climb it with your tentacles." Hearing his operator's explanation, although a bit confusing, Chrosa knows that Zed was reassuring his determination. Before he made his final preparations, NestMan hollered him. The walking nature gave a direct link to Chrosa in case the journey might be a bit boring. DramaMan urged Chrosa's leave before NestMan creates a new Shakespearean tragedy. So Zed's Navi went forward to take steps on the stone monument. "Well, here I go." Chrosa stuck his suction cups on the walls but immediately felt of ease, feeling like he was walking on the ground normally. He still decided to walk along while suctioning himself just in case. The Navi continued on to walk briskly ahead, to save DramaMan from needing to hear any awful singing.

[I'm back from exam stuffs.] :MrProg:

Chrosa only took a second to arrive at his destination, and it only took another to confirm his mission point as the two flamboyant men were sitting bored out of their minds. Between their sitting spots, a curious egg that Zed is dying to know what exactly is it. Chrosa however was more interested in being acquainted to the fellows. NestMan seemed like he was trying to keep DramaMan intertained enough to keep an eye on the egg. "It's time to reward them for their patience."Chrosa whispered to himself.

Seeing as they were preoccupied, Chrosa waved first. "Greetings gents. I thank you for dressing up so noticeable. My name is Chrosa and I'm operated by Zed Pellin."

"Hello, yeah were the ones that accepted the mission." Zed decided to butt in after Chrosa said his name. He took a moment to look around the dense wildlife but with a worried look. "This is the mission right? Wouldn't want to know what two Navis like you are doing in the middle of the woods. Umm.. that's rude of me. Sorry."

Chrosa sighed. "Would you mind if you give us another briefing. Maybe an in depth knowledge of the area?"

(Will make apartment setting soon but too lazy right now...)

The two duo rushed from school and back to their comforting abode. They weren't however looking for a leisurely time, as they were quickly planning for the mission they had resieved for a client of a faraway Net. Zed booted up his personal laptop and checked the equipment for Chrosa's expedition. "Since you've never went on a hiking trip, I guess I'll have to prep you up. It's essential to know the basics of hiking even though you aren't exactly a bipedal. First, you sh-"

"Yumland, Yumland... where exactly is this Yumland? I only know it's a place of good food."

"Sigh. I thought you'd at least have already stumbled it upon your wandering off misadventures. Ask around in NetSquare which portal leads to Yumland. Anyways, back to what I was saying I think we should take precautionary measures to your hiking." Zed presents his prepping guide that he sorted out for his unprepared Navi. The guide directs as follows : First, one should account for the geographical setting and climate one should face. In the case of Yumlandian trekking, the dense forest and wet climate indicates that terrain will be tedious to traverse with all the loose dirt on the way. However further up, there shouldn't be any problems there on. Another thing on mind, a hiker's gear is absolutely necessary for the journey. Chrosa's selection of chips and skills will fair for the journey. A map will be needed too and the rangers, if there are any, will most likely provide the navigation items. Lastly there is the...egg. A suitable bag for its placement and the preparation should be completed.

Chrosa attentively read the manual. "I thank you very much for the thorough necessities that you had helped prepare for me."

"It's my responsibility I guess. You do the fieldwork whereas I do the packing. Now I just want to confirm one last thing. You're going solo?" Chrosa nods "Hmm, guides say that's a no-go, but this is a human's guide to trekking that I modified for Navis. I'm sure worst case scenario you will EJO."Zed tells

"You say that like it's a trivial thing. I heard from Aunt Ayako that the sensation of an EJO is the same as death!"

"She probably said that so you don't get overly reckless. But I'm more worried about that egg. You got that really,really thick protective bag you bought?"

"Of course I have it. Though I do wonder if it'll become an incubator for the egg. I don't want to be the father. I'd be a terrible father."

"Yeah, that's one other thing I forgot. This does seem slightly suspicious for a Navi or whatever that mother is to have an egg. We should be ready at all times in case this is a trap."

"I suppose. Now then, enough chit-chat! Let's deliver a baby!" Zed was going to comment about that but ignored it to avoid any more postponing. The PET's jack is inserted into the laptop and Chrosa traverses. "Jack in. Chrosa.EXE, Execute!"

[[To YumLand Net]]

*sniffle* "Such plea brings virtual tears to my eyes. How could I ever refuse such a request? Do not worry, for I have the capabilities to bring such egg to its rightful kinsfolk. My tentacles can easily surmount mountain terrain with careful planning. I accept this request with valor and determination."
"I'm down with this. I feel sorry for the mother too. [sup]Though is it a Navi with an offspring? Never heard of one...[/sup]"


--NetNavi Chrosa.EXE and Operator Zed Pellin--

"Greetings, hardworking officials. After my triumphant first mission, I realize my appetite for experience cannot be sated so easily. Thus I come again to request another mission that is well suited within my capabilities. This time, I feel as though a battle mission would not do because after all, I don't think a butler Navi should engage in excessive rowdiness. Instead I would request a mission that will push my capabilities of athleticism, perhaps involving lots of climbing. In the case of rewards, my Operator is short on Zenny due to my inconvenience and I wouldn't want to overburden him. It's not wrong to have a capitalist mind once in a while, ho?"'

--Chrosa.EXE, Navi of Zed Pellin--

Ah, sorry. It's just that the rules state that it is an object casing. Anyways, modifying the previously stated:

[Cozy Code] 10 HP Object, Equipable + Passive Take Aim, 2TCD
[60]

[Oncogene Epidemic] Pull 2 Targets + Glitch1, Shot Type, 2TCD
[40]

[Fibrinogen-II] 30 Healing, 1TCD
[40]

60 + 40 + 40 = 140

My pools has increased to 140 since I bought 2 Process Upgrades. Level 2 so my cap is = 60 (90) / 15. I've updated the two sigs, Chaining Chiasma (now Oncogene Epidemic) and Cozy Code and added another new one, Fibrinogen-II.

Zed picked the goods in exchange for his spoils of war. "Thanks a bunch, now If you'll excuse me..." He waved at the shopkeeper and yawned loudly before exiting this shop.

[[From ACDC Town]]

After a dropoff from the MetroLine, a boy and his strange bubbling PET arrive around the area's Navi Shop. They've been to trips around SciLab but never bothered to go to the stores. "So about that present I said earlier at the restaurant. Maybe I'll spoil you now," Zed spoke through earbuds he equipped to talk to his Navi. "What a pleasure, I cannot contain my excitement to the wondrous collections displayed here." Chrosa replied but seemingly with less energetic tone than what he'd just said.

Entering the shop, it was loaded with assortments of attachments and the kind. They looked through the selections displayed and considered several times before Chrosa had made up his mind. Zed looked at the counter and saw a man that had seen something scary recently. He seemed like a person who'd interact with many people to his day-to-day business, so Zed opens up to the guy without shyness. "Hello, I'd like to buy something for my Navi. OK Chrosa, what did you want again?"

"Hmm, I'd like to buy a Navi expan--actually maybe..." Chrosa was conflicted on what he truly wanted to claim. Zed and the owner faced each other with an awkward atmosphere. The Operator's shyness envelops him but he wavers his mouth before speaking clearly what he wanted to say. "Hey...dude. Oh gosh, what's your name? First time here and might be good to catch a calling to familiarize myself. Oh also, do you know good places to eat here? I'm starving." Zed lengthily said. Chrosa overheard and called out his name in annoyance to what he'd just said."Just kidding, just kidding, heh. I'm still as full as an egg." The timid Operator quickly picked up from his awkward standing before.

"OK, NOW I know what my heart desires. I'd perchance buy a HP Memory (1000z) to increase my level to 2, and then obtain two Process Upgrades (300z) to seal the deal." Chrosa delivered his order orderly.

--Purchases--
HP Memory (1000z)
Process Upgrades (300z)
Spending = 1300z
Account = 1670z
Remainder = 370z

Seeing the bubbly turquoise liquid filling up his PET again, Zed decided to leave the device connected to the cafe port in case Chrosa was tired from the fight and wanted actual food. It suddenly played a soft jingle when his Navi jerked out, "We hope you have a nice time at our NaviCafe~." How unoriginal the name was, Zed thought. But he didn't mind it much as his order was steaming in front of him, indicating it's fresh quality. "Sweet merciful Cybeasts, can you smell that Chrosa?" Zed grinned in anticipation.

"Sadly no, but I can once again give info on the dish in front of you," Chrosa smiled as he spoke through the PET. "Well, I can see you ordered a normal Hamburger Steak, you really were hungry, ordering all this meat weren't you?" Zed scratched his head and smirked at his poor selection. "And ho, what is this? Squash Gratin. Quite ambitious aren't you Sir Zed." "I was in a hurry, so I just ordered whatever. Anyways, gratin is okay for me although never had a squash before...," Zed was inspecting his food. But a moment was what he took and he hastily gobbled down the food. He realizes Chrosa's stern face and corrected his bad habits. Zed this time didn't even bother to comment on the food as his uninterrupted spree obviously showed his satisfaction of the food served at the restaurant.

After consuming the food until the plates shone with a spotless gleam, Zed placed the silverware neatly as if undisturbed. He worried a bit though thinking that the waitress would just chuck it in with the clean utensils so he ran the fork and knife in the leftover steak sauce. "Are you done, Zed?" Chrosa looked up to his operator's face from the PET that was left on the table. "Sure as heck. It's gonna be an exhausting trip to the station again. I'm gonna doze off in the coach if you don't mind." Zed picked up his PET and checked his account to pay for the bill at the same time when the waitress showed herself. "Here's your bill, can you confirm that it was this much zenny that you paid?" Zed looked at the maid with a perplexed look as he didn't even begin to deposit. "I think there's been a mis-"

"Yes, yes, that seems like the right amount. Thank you kindly waitress," The Navi interrupted. The maid bowed slightly before busily going on about her work. "Hey, what was that about? Chrosa, did you do something again," Zed was even more puzzled. "I just used Aunta's account to pay for the bill." Zed elevated his voice, but while whispering. "What! Why did you do that? We got the money from the battles so just use that." "Do not fret my boy. This money was specifically given from Aunta to me for our use. She said it was a reward for your increasing grades in Japanese." Zed then simmered down and was a bit embarrassed from the overreaction. "Ah, I see... Well no time like the present. Let's head out home."

The boy rose from his seat and patted his belly in bliss. They both went out through the door and headed straight to the station to head back home. Or what Chrosa thought. This time, Zed was going to do Chrosa's 'experience trips'. In the end Zed didn't fall asleep hoping to catch the correct stop.
