I am looking to form a small group consisting of three to five people to travel the ravaged land and find items of ...interest that have been forgotten, left behind, or presumed lost. Ideally I am looking for a dragoon, fighter, white mage, and an all around balanced individual. Thieves need not apply. We will be taking requests as well so if you... want something but don't time to locate it, we will find it for you, for a small price.   

Ha! If the mall had collapsed one day later I would have had to pay that obese Shumi rent for the school/pawn shop. Looks like I'll be using a cave for a while once everything gets back to normal. I was doing some field trip scout work when I saw the sun grow and heard the screams from the mall. It's too warm now. I could go and help but I'm having too much fun roaming around the southern quadrant on my way up to the crystal tower. I will find a way in there, if it's still standing.  

Ladies and gentlemen, we have only a few spots left for the Cole Academy. We start courses next week. We will also be embarking on a field trip next Friday so make sure to have your waiver signed and chip in some gil for chocobo cleanup/maintenance. Any and all are welcome to apply. That includes non-terrans as well. Join today!  

   Ladies and Gentlemen, Mallboro is pleased to present you with its newest store: The Cole Academy! We have a beautiful spot in the mall and we are looking for future treasure hunters to join us in our expeditions! Looking for cool and rare items but you don't want to hunt them yourself? We take commissions and we also have a pawn shop located in the front room of the academy! Don't wait for Byblos Imports to bring you your prized possession when TCA will get you what you want fast! Don't settle for cheap and generic knock offs when you can get the real thing here! Meetings and classes start soon. Join today!  

   I have an application in my hand to start a treasure hunting school in the mall! Who wants to join? We'll have field trips and lots of chances to hone our skills. Of course, NORG has to accept the application first. We might need a separate place for exercises as well but we can have the class room in the mall. It's time to shake things up and bring some... activity to this place!

   Gooooooooooood evening Mallboro! This is Locke, your resident treasure hunter. Had enough free stuff? Didn't think so. NORG seems to like this dictum. We know he's busy. Anyways, I visited that other place and was not that impressed with it. Yeah. Not cool at all...
 WHERE IS EVERYONE? It's silent and cold and I hate being by myself at times and this is one of those times..... I guess I might as well write some poetry or something.
     Stay cool Mallboro. When NORG's ready, I have a business proposition for him and it's gonna rock.
     PS: Happy Birthday to Shyna, I mean Mira, wherever you are.

 I'm watching my back for the first time in a long while. This is not the Mallboro I left when I went on a spiritual retreat for a week or two. People look at me like I'm hiding something. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Who cares? I've got business to take care of. I've still got a Blitz Talk to publish, and I don't care what anyone says.



 On second thought, maybe I should be even more wary.... There's my knife. I might need it if a treasure hunter comes into my apartment without my permission.

   Wow... the mall is so... different. And wet. Anyways, I'm back. After some negotiating and some fighting over some treasure I didn't hunt for that ended up on my person (and I will find who did it) I have my freedom again. No more getting dragged from city to city on a police cart. Yea. Freedom. Anyways, I see that my former job is no longer here, which means I have to make do with something else, or do I? First thing though is to reacquaint myself with this new mall layout.

 A cart rolls into Augury. On board are six men and three women in chains. One of the men is bearded, shirtless, and wearing a rather faded blue bandana. He is thrown off the cart into the town square. The people surround him. One portly gentleman walks up to the bandanna wearer and places his foot on the man's back.
 
  "So they did find you. Welcome to Augury, thief. I'll be wanting my jewels back now. All of them, plus my wife's necklace." The man turns to the crowd. "This man stole from me and I demand repayment. This is a private matter."

 The prisoner utters something that only the man can hear. The man turns at this and slams his foot into the back of the prisoner's skull. The prisoner's already bruised face bounces off the ground. He collapses, unconscious. The man picks up the prisoner and puts him on a mule. He gets on his own horse and leads the mule away...

 I am looking at my current combat set up and will be making some changes before I go on my quest. Anyone who wishes to join in is welcome. I will split any earned treasures with any and all party members.
