Post by Nava on Jul 9, 2017 18:50:52 GMT
A peaceful day in the western frontiers. All pleasant across the rolling green fields, the deep green forests, the quiet small towns, and the desert— Hey, wait a minute! What's going on in the desert? "Zoom in the binoculars, Harold!" Panini commanded, squinting out into the desert from the edge, "There's something out there in them dunes."
"Aw shucks," The stumpy looking human leaned forwards with his face buried in the large spectacles as his elephant zoanthrope wife strained her eyes across the hot fields of sand. "You twist! Twist the lens to the right!""I'm twisting, I'm twisting! Aint nothing out there…"
"Give me those!"
Yes, there was something in the desert. But contrary to Panini's beliefs, it was nothing that they could see now— It had whizzed by an in an instant, and now was vaulting over dune after dune, headed straight for the center of the mystical biome. Skittering through the frontier was none other than that lovable pervert, Fortune Teller Jiji! He was wrangling his crystal ball like a wild bull, whirring across the desert with a look of determination focused on his eyes. It was lucky he had that wide brimmed straw hat, or he might've gotten a nasty sunburn on his warted nose! Finally, the ball whizzed to a stop, suddenly heavy as a bowling ball! The orb slumped into the ground and nearly tripped Jiji, causing him to take a few cautious steps forwards. You see, Jiji hadn't come from nothing. He was a fortuneteller of great renown of course, but he was also a three thousand year old demon, who thrived off of absorbing others. Yes, Jiji had a predecessor– A fortuneteller who came before him. And that fortuneteller had earned his demise by locking Jiji in this very crystal ball for almost two hundred years! And so, it was with the enchanted power of the crystal ball that Jiji was able to find the secret palace of the fortunetellers, an ancient library of infinite knowledge. It was said that deep down in the catacombs of the library, there were infinite books, each one with an infinite combination of letters. While most of these books were nonsense, all of the greatest works of ancient literature could be found, and all of the darkest secrets of the universe lay! An entire history of existence written in perfect french! All it took was an immortal fortuneteller tenant to sort through the nonsense! So Jiji decided to take up the mantle of the old fortuneteller, to set up a shop in the palace and become the legendary soothsayer that his predecessor was! The only problem was… There was no palace! "Eh!?" Jiji squinted his old eyes, hobbling across the dunes with frustration, "Where… This darned place…" He turned back to the crystal ball and coughed a few times in his age. " You stupid creature! Trying to sweat an old man out eh!?" He waggled an angry finger at the ball and then conjured his staff from thin air. "Well it's gonna take more than that to get rid of old man Jiji!"Suddenly, the crystal ball rose back into the air, and began to glow an strange light blue. "Eh!?"
"A revealing spell should tip the trick!" Jiji decided as he walked over to the ball. He began to dance around it, prancing like a child playing magician. He waggled his fingers in the air and chanted incoherently until he thrust his palms towards the crystal ball and shouted "Babadoooooo!"He stood there for a few seconds, fire in his eyes, until his back started to hurt. Just as he hunched back over angrily, the orb burst into life, shooting a massive beam of white energy into the sky! Suddenly, black clouds formed over the desert. Instantly, rain began to pour down from the sky, filling up the valley that Jiji was standing in! The fortuneteller hopped onto his crystal ball, hovering above the rainwater as it formed a massive lake surrounding a spare patch of land. And then, like clockwork, the clouds cleared and the ground began to rumble. There was a clunk, and then a big boom as sand blast into the air from all sides. Emerging slowly from the ground like an elevator were three buildings! The first, closest, was a large yellow and blue palace with seemingly three floors. The second, halfway out into the new desert lake was a flat circle of stone. The third was all the way out in the middle of the lake, a stout purple roofed building. Finally, foliage began to sprout around the first building, surrounding the palace in greenery and golden flowers! Finally, a bridge stretched out, attaching the palace to a small hut on the dry desert land. Jiji's crystal ball slowly lowered down to the ground, and he hopped off of it with astonishment in his eyes. This was his own little patch of earth, and nobody could take it! This was Jiji's Fortuneteller Palace! Raising a fortuneteller palace from the sands and claiming the desert as his own! Jiji is becoming the fortuneteller of the fortuneteller's desert! |

Verst had never seen anything like it, even in his days visiting and raiding countless ships and planets, he stood in awe as these huge structures forced their way out of the ground, apparently under the command of this small creature. Rain was almost a rare site in this desert let alone foliage both of which sprung out of nowhere. His mouth remained agape as he flew down to meet the small creature attached to a ball.
He landed around 10 feet away from him and slowly approached. "Excuse me, how did you do that!?" He pointed to the structure, trying to keep his voice under control from showing his amazement. "You made these giant structures appear. How?" Verst still looked a little shocked as he analysed the small man, he looked so out of the ordinary, like he was just an old man but the ball and the apparent staff betrayed him for something more.

Moneybags grinned as he drove through the hot desert in his golden hover car. His window was cracked open slightly to let the contaminated air coming from his cigar to leak out instead of filling up the car with its smell. He adjusted his shades with one hand while he steered with the other. He was with his two most loyal bodyguards right now. One was a fuzzy grizzly bear Zoanthrope by the name of Terrance, while the other one was a short brown haired Human who goes by Bobby. These two were the guys he trusted the most...! To handle all of his things, like, taking out the trash, grabbing his stuff, holding his stuff, and most importantly, taking care of punks who he doesn't like. He would have Bobby or Terrance drive his car right now, but he was bored and wanted to have a good time right now.
But why in the middle of the desert? Well, for business of course! The fat cat heard that this desert was called, 'Fortune Tellers Desert', which means it must have had a long history, right? Well, everyone knows magics fake! That's kid stuff! Which is exactly what he was going for! He was going to make a business based off magic and fortune telling right in this very desert...only to have one problem arise. This desert was...somehow taken?! It wasn't noticeable at first. His guards of course, knew what was going on right away, but Moneybags was too busy jamming out to loud rap music too notice. It was then when he felt the floor rumble and the rain drop that he actually looked ahead to see a large palace forming. There, he saw two men. A floating space lizard which he of course knew as an Arcosian. Doing galactic business sure helps you know a bit about interplanetary species. The other was some old far floating on a ball some how. Moneybags wasn't having any of this!
The rich snob of a feline bit down on his cigar slightly, denting the wrap and contents inside. He turned off his engine and struggled to unbuckle his seat belt. He fiddled with it in rage. "BOBBY! TERRANCE! ON ME!" He snarled as he finally heard the 'click' and 'sssp!' as the seat belt slid back slowly to its rightful place. He swung open his golden door, the sun reflecting against it intensely. His smart shoes dug into the sand as he stepped out, Bobby and Terrance immediately rushing to his side, standing at both his left and right. Moneybags growled lowly as he stomped towards the palace, glaring up at the two freaks in the sky. "HEY! THE HELL IS THIS! I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE MAN WHO OWNS THIS IMMEDIATELY!" Grabbing his cigar, he threw it at the floor beside Bobby who anxiously backed away to avoid the speeding bundle of tobacco and other disgusting contents. Knowing what to do, he stomped on it, grinding it away into the sand.

Bobby and Terrance are just normal NPCs without real Power levels. You can say their energy is like, 15-20.

Guardia tapped away at his 3DB handheld console. After playing the new Zoan Junction and World of Majin Bros 3D for a few sleepless nights, he switched back to his good ol' Monstkét game- the older Heartsilver version to be exact. This version was Guardia's favorite, as it introduced many new harder captures, and even a sentient sword monster like himself! Yet the creature on the boxart, Red Eyes Gold Dragon, proved to be a difficult capture.
'Come on... Stay... in... the ball!' Guardia's eye twitched as the capsule containing the virtual beast shook once, twice, thrice... His eye glimmered with hope, crossguards shaking with apprehension. He would have been so happy, should it have not popped out right after. 'GAH! You dumb lizard!! Are you too good for your home?!' He began to vent. The creature on the screen just let out it's usual cry after the failed catch. Guardia's eye narrowed. He loved challenge, but this was ridiculous. Maybe just five more minutes, and he could wittle down it's hit points even more to guarantee his catch. So long as no errands or tasks from Chai popped up, he would be juuuuust fine...
As if on cue, Chai would knock and swing the door open, eyes wide. "Guardia- we got work to do! Something's happening in the deser--" Chai began. Guardia threw his stubby "arms" up into the air, turning back to Chai with his console in hand. 'Oh COME on! Now?!' Chai bit his lip. Guardia was a fierce gamer, and he'd really rather not interrupt one of his sessions, but... "Yyyyup." The goat responded. Guardia sighed, closing his system. 'Fine, fine, fine...' He floated up to his partner, still holding his precious game. 'I'm bringing my DB with me though.'
Slipping into his sheath, Guardia would tag along with Chai as the goat ran out of Site B. "Sounds good. I'll try and negotiate with whoever's or whatever's causing the storm out there..." He looked up to the distant clouds above the sandy land. Was it... raining now? In a desert? Cap clicked his tongue, brows furrowing. "Unauthorized terraforming and building...? I don't like the sound of that." He shook his head, quickly taking off to the distant dunes. "...I guess Vi made the right choice after all leaving the rest of us to man the fort here."
Guardia's eye darted to the storm, which was now parting and fading oddly quick. Chai nearly got smacked by a rising wall as he flew, letting out a startled bleat. A building emerged from the ground, followed by several others around the new lake. Chai tiltied his head inquisitively. Hopefully whoever was doing this had good intentions... Already, energies were starting to gather near the shore.
Slowing his flight to a leisure pace, Chai would look down at the gathering below him. First, his single eye locked onto an Arcosian with a formidable power, though it wasn't much when Chai himself was at full power. Next came a weakling fellow zoanthrope- this one was a cat, though- with what Chai presumed to be his lackeys, another zoan and a human. Finally came an elderly man atop a crystal ball. Despite his old appearance, Chai found enough power to consider Jiji a fighter with his Ki Sense.
Regardless, Chai had to show that the Blue Banner Army wouldn't mess around, even despite his pacifism.
A wide burst of crackling, scarlet red ki bursted above the group as Chai increased in power. He shed his cloak and shirt, torso bare as his muscles bulked, red veins and markings coursing across them. The heat was getting unbearable with his coat and fur anyways, so he didn't mind. Reddened, slitted eyes darted down to the group.
"Alright, I'll get to the point." Chai spoke, gently tapping against the ground with his bulked arms folded, an occasional whip of electrical ki lashing around his form. "Which one of you caused all this? And why, pray tell?" His eyes softened with mild confusion instead of narrowed hostility. With all his power, a calm, peaceful aura would still be sensible from the zoanthrope. Reaching into the bag around his waist, the KAOS officer would pull out his ID card. "I am Chai Schala- KAOS member in the Blue Banner Army, at your acquaintance." He bowed his horned head.

Happily, Jiji hopped off his crystal ball and began prancing around in a circle. "HEH HEH HEH—" The geezer proclaimed, "OLD JIJI STILL GOT IT!"The three foot tall mage put his hands on his hips and happily looked over his handiwork. Of course, he hadn't actually done anything but cast a revealing spell, but the palace was still a sight to be seen. He couldn't wait to explore it's nooks and crannies, to dig into the library— Suddenly, his crystal ball, hovering quietly beside him burst into life, blinking furiously. "Eh?" Jiji turned to the orb squinting; he waved his hands over the thing, clearing away it's foggy image until it revealed— "What's that?"An prediction appeared in the crystal ball— It was an arcosian! And a tasty looking one at that. He had pretty little black gems, and a sleek body. Jiji couldn't help but lick his lips. His power was far too high for Jiji to touch of course, and the ball counted him in at roughly 4.6 Kili: Worlds above the 0.1 that Nava could pull off on his best days. And sure enough, moments later, the arcosian landed right in front of Jiji's new palace. "Eh? If you want a reading, you'll have to come back later— I haven't set up the shop yet."
The crystal ball puttered to Jiji's side, and he hopped on top of it as the arcosian spoke. The ball suddenly whizzed right up to Verst, putting Jiji's nose less than an inch away from the arcosian's face! "I am the great and powerful fortuneteller Jiji! All of the future is manifest at my will!"
The crystal ball took a few sputtering feet back, giving the arcosian a bit of space. "Now let an old man be, will you!? Can't you see I have work to do!?"
But just as Jiji hopped off the ball and started heading to slam the door on the newcomer, his orb began blinking again, this time far more furiously. "What do you want now—" When Jiji's eyes registered the reading of 17.2 offensive Kili, he was immediately sweating. The blurry image of the zoanthrope in the ball looked a bit terrifying, if he was being honest. And just then, a vehicle pulled up near the palace! Where were all these youngsters coming from!? Jiji's eyes weren't so great anymore though, so when the short cat stepped out of the vehicle, Jiji went ballistic! How could this cat have a Kili rating so high!? He had to take care of this, and fast. "Listen here—" Jiji waggled a finger at the cat angrily, "You leave an old man alone! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size!" Jiji immediately was at eye level with the grizzly bear attendant, perched on his crystal ball. "And you two! You should be ashamed of yourself! What are you doing helping out a big powerful bully to intimidate a feeble old geezer! If you want a divination, you're going to have to get in line just like everybody else! I don't care how powerful you are!"
Just then though, a sudden burst of power knocked Jiji off the crystal ball. Wait a minute— This fat cat wasn't the source of that energy, it was that goat in the sky! And he looked much more intimidating… As the zoanthrope lowered to the ground, Jiji gave moneybags a nasty look and then walked over to Chai. Oh boy— Of course it had to be the cops! But wait a minute… That gave Jiji an idea! Suddenly, the old man would stumble forwards and land flat on his face in front of Chai, his eyes welling up with tears. "Oh please officer! This is my palace and these ruffians just won't leave an old man alone!" Jiji got back up on his feet and began shouting "I am the fortuneteller of this desert, and I won't be bullied! I know my rights!" |

"For a fortuneteller you're very suprised." Verst said snidely, he observed each new figure show up, all of varying races. But the cat man threatened him the least as the 'police' showed up shouting about an army and KAOS. Verst made a note to research those later.
"Officer, he showed up here just before I did and created all of this." He gestured to the surrounding buildings and foliage. "You've got a good response time though officer." He gave some respect to the Police man for trying to control the chaos. "Prove that you're a fortune teller anyway, all you've done is shout at people and be annoyed."

Moneybags growled lowly at the old mans attitude. "What did you say you old fart?!" He stepped forward, baring his sharp teeth. "Do you know who I am?! Huh, do ya?!" The cat balled his fists up, shaking it at the geezer a top the floating orb. "I can buy you and sell you! You and your entire generation you little wrench!" His chest heaved, rising up and down slowly while his nostrils flared. His employees stood behind him, holding their wrists professionally while staring at Moneybags with worried looks on their faces. They knew how he could get when he lost his temper. They just hoped he didn't make them do anything crazy or absurd.
Suddenly, a weird goat Zoan appeared from out of the sky! Moneybags stared at him with a bemused expression, wondering what this guy was doing here. Before the cat knew it, the dude suddenly got freaking jacked! His eyes turned red and he had fiery red aura and his veins showed vibrantly! "T-The hell?! Freak!!" The Goat landed, he introduced himself, and it turns out he was a member of the Blue Banner Army! Before Martin had time to talk, the old man tried...he tried framing him. The little midget was most certainly going to get it!
"Me?! Harassing you?? You little shit!" The cat pointed a clawed finger at him. "This was going to be a place for my new business, and you're here building with no papers at all claiming your property for this land! I've already had all my ideas set out and I was prepared to make this whole thing legal and official!" Lowering his hand, he sharpened his gaze. "But since you want to play me as the bad guy..." Martin began to stomp towards his shiny golden car. He walked towards the trunk, earning nervous looks from Bobby and Terrance. At this point, due to his short stature, only his little cat ears were shown from above the car. Popping open the trunk, he mumbled frustratingly. "...Listen BBA boy..." Moneybags hissed as footsteps were heard coming back. Appearing from the side of the car, Moneybags was seen holding an AK-47 assault rifle. "I'm a rich man. Extremely wealthy. I'll make sure you live in luxury if you just back off. Sounds promising, eh??" Bobby and Terrance were about to talk Moneybags down, before they both screamed in terror diving out of the way. The cat aimed the machine gun from his hip and pointed the barrel towards the old man on the ball. "DONT EVER WRONG ME YOU PIECE OF SH-" Conveniently, the last word was inaudible due to the intense firing of the assault rifle. Flaming pieces of hot metal began to soar towards Jiji, ready to pierce through the old geezer!

With Chai's landing came quite a bit of hubbub among the weaker warriors. Guardia peered out of his sheath, raising his metallic brow alongside Chai when the old man spoke of being harassed. His pleading tone and teary face earned the zoan's pity and mercy. "I- uh, okay. What were these fellows doing to you, exactly?" The goat questioned, pointing a thumb back to the group behind him. Verbal and physical assault were both possibilities- and Chai didn't like the sound of either of them. But, at least he finally got to do his job for once- it seemed all the big guns were off flaunting and flexing on eachother as of late, leaving many like Chai alone and bored.
The Arcosian, who seemed harmless enough, retorted back. Verst stated that he just arrived when the buildings rose, and did nothing harmful. Chai nodded along, eyeing Jiji once more. "...Tell me the truth. Was this Arcosian really hounding you?" He bent down, dropping out of his Crimson Striker state- intimidation was done and over with. "Lying to an officer and framing others is a punishable offense, you know." The goat folded his arms,s till bent over. He raised his head, eyeing the buildings behind him. Making a house was one thing, but if this man was trying to take the entire desert... "...Along with unauthorized claiming of this Blue Banner protected planet."
"I don't know about you, but I'd REALLY not rather be punted to Pluto by the premie--" Chai began bluntly, only to be interrupted by the crazy cat man, who yelled about being framed as well! The powerhouse of the group narrowed his eyes at Jiji, lips pursed. He was beginning to have doubts now. Moneybags also spoke of no paperwork done whatsoever to gain the rights over the desert lands! "...Is that true?" Chai questioned while Guardua let out a telepathic groan. The blade was tired of talk. When would he EVER get some proper action again?
Moneybags approached Chai, offering the goat a life of luxury if he backed off... "I, uh, am not sure that's how it works." Chai raised his brow while Guardia began to slide out of his sheath, eyeing the small feline. 'Hey, you have my attention. What's in it for us, chump?' The floating sword inquired while Chai sighed. How could Guardia even think of taking up an offer as greedy and selfish as that?
"Guardia no."
'Guardia yes-'
In the midst of Chai and Guardia's brief remarks, Moneybags shot his gun right at Jiji, yelling out in anger! But before the bullets could hit the fortuneteller, Guardia's eye would flash with a bright white glow, catching each bullet with his telekinetic grip. 'People still use guns now?' The blade questioned, eyeing the cat. 'Seriously, if you want to do some damage, ki is a better option.' The blade's deadpan eye rolled before floating past a still stunned Chai, and towards Jiji. 'Our Arcosian friend here has a point. Prove you're an actual, legit fortuneteller, and we might just listen to your nonsensical rambling, geezer.' Guardia offered while Chai sent a dirty glare towards Moneybags. Hopefully things wouldn't escalate any further... But, he wouldn't get his hopes up.

As Jiji got back up on his feet during his begging, the goat started to become suspicious. " Eh? I don't want to talk to these people…" Jiji lamented, slumping over. "They're hounding me and my bones are getting too old to be running around like this…"When the officer started berating his unauthorized claiming of Blue Banner's planet. "Claiming the planet? This is the fortuneteller's desert, and this is my palace!" His beard was standing on end now, as if he had been electrocuted. He turned to the other two. "I didn't make this thing… You really think I have powers like that?" He waved his staff at them, with half a mind to bonk them on the noggins, and then added, "Fortunes are one thing!"When the fat cat started bribing the officer, Jiji buried his head in his hands, plopping his geriatric butt on his crystal ball and whirring into the air again. Greif! When would these people leave him alone? Fortunately for Jiji, his face was still buried in his hands when the gun went off, and the bullets were stopped long before they could injure the fortuneteller. "Eh?" he asked blankly, opening his eyes and peeking out from between his fingers at the sound. He remained completely oblivious to the attempt on his life: it was probably better that way. Finally, the officer turned back to Jiji and came to a conclusion; or his partner did, so to speak. He was a talking sword, but it was nothing Jiji wasn't used to in his long history of magic. He had actually wielded a sword back in his hey-day… In fact, the old man had half a mind to try to grab the sentient one by the hilt at his rude suggestion! Prove that he was a fortuneteller! How absurd! "You want me to prove to you I'm a fortuneteller!? I'm the fortuneteller you floppy-foible-fested—"Jiji sighed, crossing his legs and making himself small on the crystal ball. He was going to have to invite these strangers into his palace before he even got a chance to take a nap in it himself. "Fine, fine. You want your fortunes told." The wide brim of Jiji's hat lowered, and his countenance became more somber. "Come in then— All of you. We'll see what sort of arrangement we can set up."
Jiji's orb whirred up to the doorway, and the wooden gate opened with a telekinetic blink. He slipped through the gateway hut, and then skirted across the bridge to the main palace. He opened that door too, but would quickly direct the visitors out back and across the next bridge to the arena, not wanting them to dilly dally indoors and knock some precious artifact over. He would keep a particularly close eye on the fat cat. Verst

"Alright I'm okay with this whole proving yourself deal, but that guy with a guy should probably leave... If he wants to end up alive after this." Verst stared towards Moneybags and grinned.He turned quickly towards the fortuneteller took his time idly strolling towards the main building of the 'fortuneteller's palace' as he did so he turned to Chai "So what exactly is the BBA and KAOS they've been mentioned to me but I've not been able to research them enough." He was genuinely inquisitive as he'd heard about them the whole time but nobody bothered to tell him what it all meant
Verst chuckled to himself just thinking about the madness of the current situation, a rich cat, a mad fortuneteller and a intergalactic police officer. Let's see where this goes.

Moneybags was both shocked and furious at the same time when his bullets were stopped in midair. His sharp teeth were bared out ferociously! But, seeing as how the officer was going to let this man 'prove' himself, he let himself cool down. I mean come on, magic wasn't real! This guy was gonna lose this place in a jiff, and then his little tourist attraction was gonna give him big bucks! Big bucks! But that one particular Acrosian was really pissing him off. Glancing at Chai, he narrowed his eyes to the goat man wondering if he'd even bat an eye to the threat. He followed the old man along with the others to the palace, only to end up in some totally different place, which moneybags could only conclude that it was just silly illusions.

"H-hey! Nobody's dying!" Chai quickly remarked when Verst seemed to maliciously eye Moneybags, stating that the cat should leave if he wanted to live. "....Just, uh, not on my watch." The goatman put his hands on his hips, cheeks puffed out as he tried to intimidate the arcosian a little more so he wouldn't try anything rash. "So! Uh... Don't make any reckless moves, and we're a-o-kay." He closed his eyes, a nervous smile forming beneath the bandanna wrapped around his muzzle.
Guardia floated around Jiji, lodging his blade in the desert sands after a moment. The old man agreed to tell their fortunes, causing Guardia's metal brow to raise. 'Huh. You sure?' The blade questioned, crossguards where his hips would be if he still had them. He really didn't want to waste time here when he could be back home, playing his new video games on their Baotendo Swap. 'Meh. Just make this quick, old man.' Guardia complied, floating after the supposed fortuneteller, motioning for Chai and company to follow.
As the group followed the fortuneteller into his abode, Chai's attention would be diverted to Verst as he inquired who and what the Blue Banner Army and the KAOS division were. "You don't know? That's odd." Chai put a hand to his chin, shaking his head. "Nonetheless, the Blue Banner Army is Earth's prime defense force. When someone threatens our planet and it's peace, or laws, we're the ones to respond." Chai explained, barely noticing the odd passage from one end of the central building to the other. "KAOS, or the Ki Assault Operative Squadron, is a division for us powerful ki users. We're very capable, and usually at the front lines as the first to respond to law violations or planetary and-or galactic crisis." He concluded, pointing a thumb to himself. "...Guardia and I, while new recruits, are part of it. We serve directly under Premier Vi-Poi, who is... off-planet at the moment." Chai bit his lip. He knew what the blue bot was up to, and... Well, he was concerned for the premier, to say the least.
Should the group approach wherever Jiji was leading them, Guardia would float beside the man, clearing his hypothetical throat before using his telepathy to speak with the old man alone. 'Ahem. I got an idea, dude.' The blade folded his crossguards, glancing back to his partner. '...Howzabout you tell Chai's fortune first? I can guarantee he's more interesting than these two nobodies.' The blade snickered, his eye darting to the goat, who was still explaining the Army to Verst. 'Despite his soft outside, trust me when I say there's more to him than meets the eye.'
'...You should be able to find out what if you're REALLY a fortuneteller, though.'

As Jiji begrudgingly lead the group across several bridges and through several structures, he listened in on their conversation. Yes yes, he knew something or another about that police force, the KAOS. In fact, he'd once fancied himself a mighty fine sherif. But beyond that, the conversation seemed dry. Eventually, Jiji brought the individuals out into the main plaza arena of the palace, one bridge behind the largest building. Water surrounded the square battleground on all sides. But there would be no fighting— At least not until things got settled. In fact, Jiji was surprised to receive a telepathic tip from one of the group's members. It sounded like the rude sword from earlier, and sure enough, the blade's one eyed gaze was trained upon the old man. Jiji stretched his face out flat, trying to get any precognitions from the group. But unfortunately, it seemed like they were a rather locked up bunch. He wouldn't be able to read them just from his crystal ball alone! The old man crossed his arms and gave each of the small crowd a grim look. "Ahem!"
"Now then—" He began, eyeing each one of them individually. "You all are a strange bunch, and so I can't just read things off the top of my head."
Jiji put his hands on his hips and plopped down from the crystal ball. The orb was almost as large as him! "Now listen up, and listen good! I am Fortuneteller Jiji, the best and only fortuneteller of this desert! Using my precognition, I can find any hidden item, locate any lost lovers, and gaze into your fate itself!"The fortuneteller turned sternly, eyeing each one of them as he raised the crystal ball into the air above his head telekinetically. "Now, If you'd like me to gaze into your futures, then each one of you will have to provide a special talisman, which I will use in the process of divination!"Jiji turned to Chai, and a sterling silver sword appeared in the crystal ball. Jiji took note, and chanted aloud. "You! To read your fate, I require a glistening steel sword, as shining as a mirror!"
Next, he turned to the cat, and a pile of leaves appeared in the crystal ball. "You! To read your fate, I require a bushel of the finest herbs to smoke in my pipe!"Finally, he turned to the arcosian, and the crystal ball shifted into what appeared to be a room full of zeni, stacked high with gold coins. Jiji nodded. "You've got the standard then— To read your fortune I need cold hard zeni!"The crystal ball landed on the ground. "If you'd just like me to serve as a locator, I don't need anything. But if you want your fortunes told, I'll give you four hours to find me the object I require!"
Finally Jiji crossed his arms and leapt into the air, landing back on the crystal ball with a plop. "And if you've got a problem with it, then you can get out of my hair and leave an old man to his rest!"

Finally, the group would reach, what seemed to be, the center of this old man's palace. It was nice, calming, beautiful. But Moneybag's still couldn't be anything but angry. Once he finds out that this fraud isn't really a fortune teller, he was seriously going to tear this place to the ground and build his tourist attraction. Who knows, maybe this old man would play the role as the fortune teller perfectly. That could have been a possibility if he didn't get on Martin's bad side.
He heard the 'wannabe' fortuneteller Jiji speak his demands. He was going to tell them all their fortunes as proof. Unfortunately...that would mean leaving this place and getting the stuff himself. "Finest herbs...for you too smoke?! What the hell is this, some kind of sick joke?" The cat snarled. He pointed at the Arcosian beside him all the while keeping his glare locked onto the old fart. "The hell does he get to pay Zeni for?! I have the zeni! I could just toss a bag right at your face and knock you right over your wrinkly rear! My name is literally Martin P. Moneybags! Oh, but you didn't know that did you Mr.Fortuneteller." The chubby feline began to stomp towards the exit of the palace grumbling inaudible words while his henchmen followed suit. "I'll get you your stupid herbs, but I better have a real fortune told by the time I'm back, you hear?!"

Attempting exit. Zeni please.

Jiji quickly called the oddball group's attention, speaking of how he wouldn't be able to read their fortunes right off the bat just yet. Chai raised his brow while Guardia just nodded along. He knew enough about magic to know that nothing regarding it was that simple- most magical or demonic rituals required offerings, or even sacrifices... Fortunetelling was an enigma to Guardia, though he figured he could place it alongside the "ritual" category of magic.
To gaze into Chai's future, Jiji said he needed a glistening steel sword! The goat briefly eyed Guardia, but remembered he was a golden blade comprised of mostly magic and energy, so lending his power to the fortuneteller wouldn't do. "...Ooookay?" The zoan trailed, folding his arms with a questioning frown. 'Oh, hush, Chai. It's magic! I know magic, and it ain't simple.' Guardia defended the fortuneteller, causing the goat to sigh. It seemed Verst and Moneybags had their hands full also, with the former needing to gather a metric buttload of zeni, while the latter had to fetch some high-quality herbs.
Each member had four hours to find said items. Chai sucked in a breath, biting his teeth and glancing to Verst. He had the hardest luck by far... Shaking his head, Chai would nod along, his signature determination coursing through his eyes. "Alright- four hours. No problem." The zoan remarked, clenching his fists by his sides. Yet, while Chai was about done, Guardia had a few more quips for Old man Jiji there...
'Aye, before we shove off...' Guardia floated up towards the old man's face, eye narrowed with challenging hostility. 'We'll let you watch this desert for now. But if we hear of noise complaints or any other tomfoolery from you, you're gone. This place is your responsibility now- got it?' He poked the man's chest with his hilt, eye still narrowed. "Uh, right. That." Chai responded, nodding in agreement with his partner. "...But, thank you for putting up with us. We'll be back in a few hours, sir- easy peasy!" Chai turned around, flipping open Guardia's sheath for the blade to fly inside.
Turning around and waving goodbye to the old man with a smile, the Blue Banner officer would take to the skies, flipping open his ZPhone... Now, just where was he going to find this shining steel sword in time? There had to be a lead somewhere around here...

Finally, the ball whizzed to a stop, suddenly heavy as a bowling ball! The orb slumped into the ground and nearly tripped Jiji, causing him to take a few cautious steps forwards. You see, Jiji hadn't come from nothing. He was a fortuneteller of great renown of course, but he was also a three thousand year old demon, who thrived off of absorbing others. Yes, Jiji had a predecessor– A fortuneteller who came before him. And that fortuneteller had earned his demise by locking Jiji in this very crystal ball for almost two hundred years!
