Oh yes! Hello beauties, and happy New Year... From me, to you. I'm looking for plenty of willing assistance to end a common problem among Monsters.

Being handsome and being metal are not mutually exclusive. As a robot, I happen to be both. Throw being a Monster into the mix... And I'm still beautiful! However. Cute ears and fluffy tail notwithstanding, my transformation is giving me some undesirable side effects.

Here's a simple trivia question for you.

QUESTION: What is a MAJOR weakness shared by both Puca and Fae?
A. Alcohol	B. Math
C. Anime	D. Iron

I have faith that 88.1% of you can answer correctly. (Margin of error: 5%.) I even dropped a little hint for you above! If you still can't get this... Just look at the quest board!!

I require a magical solution to eliminate this weakness. After getting plenty intimate with a handsy band of passionate Witches... They've surprised me with a list of ingredients for an alchemical enchantment. It can all but treat this weakness! Turnskin, Fae, and Puca will ALL benefit. And that's where you come in! All of the ingredients necessary to perform this spell are found in the depths of the Wilde, and I could use some help in fetching LOADS of them. I've been warned, however, that this journey will be a treacherous one. If you could spare the time and risk the dangers... And don't mind being COMPENSATED for it... It's nothing you lovely people can't handle!

As a robot who has never experienced pain before coming here... Well. A few months of it is enough. And it's getting worse. I appreciate all of the help I can get. So let me make it worth your while, darling. Won't you be the dashing hero to my ACHING rescue...?

Not as far as I know, but I wouldn't exclude that they did have problems before, considering the overall poor treatment Monsters tend to receive all around the city.

Even if they hadn't, I would like to make it so they never have to suffer such experience at all.

[metalcrusher]

A good call. Something tells me that this will be a very important tool for us Monsters. It's a shame that we don't have it right now, in fact.

I'll be frank with you. I wouldn't wish this sensation on anybody. (Subject to change. I don't have enemies.)

[kivatteru]

That will change, hopefully soon if we set on this task quickly.

I'm sorry for your condition. I can tell from your post that what you're going through is... rough.

[ Metal body? With fluffy ears and tail? Wataru is quite unsure of how this guy actually looks like... ]

[metalcrusher]

You can tell? Wonderful! I hope to express myself as authentically as possible, while keeping it entertaining for my viewers. Of course, doing both is an art.

[ So is really disguising how difficult it's been, but his ears and tail would show that if he let them. If only they were fluffy right now, instead of withered and sickly. ]

My condition will improve. That's because I have faith in you lovely people, so willing to help a beautiful robot restore his condition. Surely there's nowhere to go but up.

[ This person seems to be the optmistic type and it's... helpful to quell Wataru's worries about whatever trouble he's about to get into. Honestly he wishes he sounded that cheerful via text. ]

As a musician, myself, I can definitely understand the value of art and expression.

But yeah, let just know when we're about to go, and I'll take a couple days off from my job so I can give my contribution.

[ Thankfully Everett will understand, he's a good boss all around. ]

[glitzandglamour]

I will, absolutely! I can't thank you enough.

Don't mind my shift in focus, but... Now you've caught my attention with other matters. You're a musician? What do you do, with more specificity?

[kivatteru]

I specifically play violins, and craft them professionally. I had an atelier back home, but as I got busy with work here I don't have as much time to pursue that again.

I could also play other instruments, but not as frequently. I also used to sing in a band, and play the guitar.

[metalcrusher]

Aren't you a talented one? Performing in a band and everything. I can't imagine the dedication it takes not only to play... but also craft, your instrument. I appreciate an array of musical disciplines. Are violins your favorite to play, then? Or would you consider yourself more fond of singing, as a twist?

[kivatteru]

Honestly I prefer violins.

I believe I can convey something rather better while playing them than singing, though I like doing both.

[metalcrusher]

So you find yourself more talented in the realm of string instruments, than of your vocal cords. I would love to hear either sometime! Perhaps we'll find ourselves performing together, in the future... I'm musically inclined, myself. Though I have a preference for singing.

[kivatteru]

You might have to wait for that. There's a new tea shop in town named DiplomaTea, if you have heard of it. I work there, as a waiter and musician. I play violin there more often than I do outside work, really.

[metalcrusher]

Splendid! Then I know where I could find you. Nothing wrong with stopping by to watch you play, is there?? I think not!

[kivatteru]

Not at all. My main goal there is to set up the atmosphere and have the customers relax with music of my choice as they help themselves with drinks.

I would be glad to have you listen.
