Today is my lucky day

Today, I was preparing for an overnight trip out of town with my father and mother. However, since I wanted to frolick in Vana’diel for a little while before having to leave it for 2 days, I logged in to the game. I did a lot of thing this morning. Hanging out with Cornelious in his Mog House, admiring my hand-crafted cage in his house, talking about furnishings, making some more cages, grabbing Alecredion and making him put my signed cage inside his house, buying Yagudo Feathers for Elfitine, and teleporting Duckie to Dem.

Well, after a long talk between me, Jan, and Corny, we noticed that the Mog-Tablet discovery was going on. Corny rushed to Jeuno and went to Battalia. He also told me I should go out and find it. I said something like, I’m leaving the house soon so forget it! But then I found out that my mother was still preparing for the trip, so I went to Konschtat Highlands. I ran around, sweeping the area hopelessly. Starting from the Crag of Dem to northeast, making a U-turn after I got to near the Passhow zone, continuing southward and then sweeping west.

Elfitine saw that people found so many Mog-Tablets in a very short timespan and gave up. Corny got beaten to Battalia’s one. So I kind of ran around aimlessly…concentrating more on the chat (and munching) than looking for the Tablet.

The conversation went like….

Corny: I was lucky to find mine last week. Wasn’t paying attebtion and was stuck at a wall while running, when I looked back, the Tablet was there.
Corny: When Stefy said the Nomad Moogle Statue was rare I felt so lucky.
Alec: How close you need to get, to see it??
Corny: idk I read 20 w/e thingies

Then more and more Mog-Tablets were discovered, West Sarutabaruta being the 10th.I got discouraged, but still running around.

Corny: It didn’t seem like I looked away that much though, so I’d say 10.
Corny: And I didn’t even see it on the ground or anything like a shine.
Corny: I think it’s just walk around and hope for a land mine.
Alec: Awwww…

At that point I felt even more hopeless and started dropping my attention. Then I ran without specific direction, hitting TAB key on a Tremor Ram and various goblins. Then I ran into a wall while nibbling on some cherries, and noticed that my target wasn’t yellow…but green!

Turning back I saw…

Alec: Mog-Tablet!!!
Alec: OMG OMG
Alec: OMG!!!!!!! (<<< I was overjoyed at that time)
Corny: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
LS: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Corny: Get it! Touch it quick lol! Before someone steals it XD
Alec: Got! I got it!

So I headed to Jeuno for my reward. It turned out that my Tablet was the Tablet of Courage. So I got an Argent Coat (male’s tuxedo >.> which I can’t wear) and a Kupofried’s Ring. Anyway…..still it’s a lucky encounter!

Woot! I felt so lucky it didn’t seem true.

Duckie was more thrilled about the Super Kupowers we would get. She was hoping for Swift Shoes ot Atrisan’s Adventage like last week. XD But, duh, we didn’t get any of those.

By the way, the Moogle made me sign something…. Well, he was cunning. He made it sound as if he was thrilled to have met me and wanted my autograph so much that I forgot to ask what was it! Hopefully it’s not an evil kind of slave contract like what President Naja did to me. :\

Well, I’m off for the trip! See ya!
