Tang isn’t shy about asking her favorite nature spirit, Whiskey, for help! Whether it be what outfit to wear, what stocks to invest in, or what compliments to give her crush, she’s ready with some bribery to fish answers out of him!

(Do you have it?)

(Can I have it?)

How does your WOL ask for help? Do they Shout? Yell? Call their Linkshell and/or Free Company? What happens when no help arrives? Do they ever answer that call?

[lexausart]

Bleary eyed, Tang headed to her bedroom to notice a rose on her pillow. She was too exhausted to question it so she plucked it from the pillow- pulling a string that sprung a trap leaving her covered in sparkly glitter!

“AHHHHHHHHH!” she tumbled back and overheard Ryo giggling in the closet.

The secret admirer is back! Are they still creepy or have they and your WOL found a connection? Better yet, it’s it a specter of their past that’s haunting them relentlessly?

Being a civet, Tang could naturally stay awake through the night. But it was now noon, and she was still making cactpot scratch-offs for her convenience store.

She would randomize numbers with the printing press, then put a scratchable adhesive layer on top of the paper. Then the card was done!

She would randomize numbers with the printing press, then put a scratchable adhesive layer on top of the paper. Then the card was done!

She would randomize letters with the printing press, then put a scratchable adhesive layer on the bottom of the paper. Then the card was...

Tang blinked. How many times had she made that mistake? She looked at a pile of cards that were upside down, backwards, inside out, folded into airships- what happened?!

A Red Auroch energy drink should do the trick! She reached into her secret stash and grabbed an empty can. It's okay, there are still more... is every can empty?!

But there was nothing to be worried about. Tang could take a break by reading some literature about being more efficient! Her body felt the tonze of cactpot scratch-offs she messed up. Her arms stopped moving, her eyes drooped to the floor. She was magnetized to the ground with a large thud! The cactpot scratch-offs fluttered around her, making a blanket for this sweet princess to rest.

How does your WOL handle complete and total exhaustion? Do they keep going until they finally drop? Realize they’re not going to be able to handle this and take a break? How are they affected by fatigue?

Tell a story where they have to handle this.

Word of the day: encroach

Tang eyed a beautiful ring at the Goldsmith's Guild in Ul'dah.

"And how much would this one be?" she read the price tag, which normally wouldn't encroach her budget if she was back on Bisaya Island. She opened her gilpurse and a moth flew out.

[lexausart]

Word of the day: entelechy

Tang slid the Gil across the counter. "Here's your payment, plus a tip!"

The bartender held the Gil between two fingers and sniffed it. With a deep hum, they used a glamour dispeller which was the entelechy that it was just ginger.

"Ah- uhh..." Tang threw some Gil in the corner and bolted off.

[lexausart]

Word of the day: onerous

Every night, Tang hugged her animal friends good night. Although Whiskey the Gold Whisker didn't appreciate this, Apple the Dwarf Rabbit and Pepper the seal regarded this warmly. And each night, she would remember her first pet from childhood.

Chicken was his name, and he was a very plump chicken. She'd spin Chicken around with a little dance and dreamed of becoming wealthy from selling his eggs. And one day, she and Chicken would have matching outfits and sit on a giant gold throne.

One night, she tied Chicken's leg to a post so he wouldn't fly away.

"Taaaaaang, breakfast is ready!" her sister shook Tang out of her sleep. Tang rubbed her eyes. It smelled so good that she bolted to the family table. Wait. Wait a minute. She forgot to grab Chicken! Tang ran to the post and found that Chicken had been untied. A strange sound was heard while Tang gripped her tear drenched cheeks. Was that screaming?

"Ay, we thought you tied it to the post so we could eat it..." the rest of this onerous day was filled with trying to cheer up Tang.

Based off a true story xD

Prompt 24 - Bar

Tang wondered what were the qualifications to become a Postmoogle. She felt the bar was so low, that she could get all her mail herself.

“Hello there! Any mail for me today?” she crossed her arms.

“Just a box of cookies, kupo!” the Moogle shakily handed her a box that had the ribbon undone.

[lexausart]

Prompt 23 - On cloud nine

With this newfound confidence, Tang was on cloud nine.

“That reminds me, I should check if the speciality cookies arrived!”

The civet ran out of the storehouse and just caught the Postmoogle.

“Speak of Ifrit, kupo!” the Postmoogle looked at her with a face full of crumbs.

[lexausart]

Prompt 22 - Extra credit! (Rue)

Whiskey often rued the day he decided to follow Tang around. But in tender moments like these, he knew he could make her further in debt to him.

He got out of his bed, did a little spin, and poofed a bouquet of flowers into his fin. Tang noticed the flowers immediately: sampaguita, or known as jasmine in Eorzea.

“Are you saying I should hope for my sister’s best interests and let her make her own choices?” Tang asked.

[lexausart]

Prompt 21 - Shade

After letting out a large sigh, she decided to consult the great Whiskey for advice. She placed some chicken jerky on his pillow as an offering to prevent him from giving her shade.

"Oh great Whiskey, how do I know if I should encourage my sister to have her Ceremony of Bonding so quickly? You're the smartest being I know, so you will definitely give great advice!"

[lexausart]

Prompt 20 - Duel

Tang was having a duel in her mind. On one hand, her sister was a secluded maiden growing up, so she didn't have enough real-world experience to make a decision so swiftly to get married. On the other hand, Tang wanted to see her sister happy.

[lexausart]

Prompt 19 - Taken

Tang let out a big stretch and wiggled around to wake up, crunching all the popoto chip bags under her. Whiskey threw a sock at her to be quiet. She got up to get the mail near the door. Bills, more bills, and then she was taken aback. Her sister’s wedding invitation was a small scroll neatly tied with a bow. Their stay in Eorzea hadn’t even been that long, but that little invitation opened Tang’s mind to the reality that they’d be staying there for a long time…

[lexausart]

Prompt 18 - Hackneyed

Upon arriving home, Tang unpacked the heaviest crate and rolled a drooling Whiskey out. She used muscles honed from transporting store products to lift him into his little bed. Being careful not to make too much sound, she gently lay on a pile of popoto chip bags. She used a table cloth as a cover while dreaming that her sister adored her gift. It wasn’t hackneyed at all, right?

[lexausart]

Prompt 17 - Sally

As a tumbleweed blew by, Tang packed up her bottles of Leviathan oil and kept her sister’s wedding present in her pocket. She placed the table decor in a crate along with a snoring Whiskey and closed the lid. The scheduled chocobo porter would be there any moment. It was about time to sally forth!

[lexausart]

Prompt 16 - Third-rate

Tang waved the customer off. With her chest still puffed out and head held high, she wasn’t a third-rate salesman who gave up with every lost business opportunity!

[lexausart]

Prompt 15 - Extra credit! (By and large)

“By and large, I don’t believe in fortunes. But this was spot on,” the Hrothgar grumbled.

“Does this mean you’ll buy my Leviathan oil?” Tang had stars in her eyes.

“No.”

[lexausart]

Prompt 14 - Telling

"The Empress," Tang read the tarot card. "Let's see... the card is telling you that a motherly figure will provide abundance. If you don't have a healthy mother figure in your life, perhaps you can learn to parent yourself and give yourself love?" The civet gave a relaxed smile, anticipating the Hrothgar's reaction.
