Like a Needle in a Haystack

[attr="class","capsule"]Fetch quests. There was just no end to the damn things, but Alkaid shamelessly took more and more of them. She needed not only the exp, but she small chunk of change that came with them. That, and she was still working out the kinks in the system. But if the game had not glitched out when she went on a kitten hunting spree, how could it mess up a simple locket? The item should, theoretically, be static. Those virtual kitties were not, and there may still be a flaw to their coding that she missed.

She gave the NPC a final nod before setting off, hands tucked into the cramped pockets of her shabby leather pants. There was little worry of being assaulted by a monster this close to the Starting City, so she felt safe to let her guard down for once. From the looks of things, other people had the same idea.

Several were walking up and down the creek, stopping every now and then to bend down and poke around. Only of the guys had dared to actually wade out into the water, however. He was very tall, so the water only came up as far as his knees. If Alkaid or the others tried, the water would easily come up to their waist or chest. If there was a hope of finding the locket, he'd have a fairly good one. Knowing the idiocy of NPCs, the necklace would long have been washed away.

Feeling bold as usual, Alkaid primly stepped closer to the water's edge. ”Yo, King Fisher. Need help on this locket quest?” She was really hoping to just piggyback ride off his own success, to be honest. There was no way she was getting herself muddy, even in a video game.
