Hot, hot, hot! II [Badlands Treasure Roll - Complete]

[Izumi Yamamura]

It was another bright day in the Kalosian Badlands, and Izumi was headed there again—his time late in the afternoon, because there was no way she was going to suffer under the intense heat of the sun that was shining down on the general area. She knew she’d gotten lucky the last time; now would be another test to see if her luck would suddenly deviate from the norm and then start giving her bad things again. Best not to think too much about it… she thought as she fell in line in order to be able to enter the Badlands, supplies packed and at the ready; shovel in her free hand. The line moved quickly, and soon enough she was already at the inspection hub, where she then slung the backpack full of supplies on the table and then went off to get herself a few rinks of water. Once she had been given the go-ahead, she then returned to the table and scooped up her supplies and re-entered the Badlands. She saw that there were several people digging; and knew that the time to get started was now—so she began looking for a spot that hadn’t been disturbed; but the slight problem with the Badlands was that everything looked the same everywhere, so she was unsure as to where to actually begin digging. After circling the area a few times, she then decided to pick a random spot and unslung her backpack from her shoulders, letting it fall to the dirt as she then gripped the shovel and then began digging at the spot where she’d decided to start searching. A whistling tune then began ringing out from the spot where she was located—as she was bound to get bored if the silence lulled her into a sense of monotony. Alright, let’s get searching… she thought once more as she began displacing piles of dirt off to one side. | | | | | WORDS 324 TAGS nope NOTES 2 / 4 for September

[Izumi Yamamura]

Normally, it would have been by this moment that Izumi had found something—but she had to dig deeper now, because she’d remembered overhearing chatter at the guards’ outpost that there had been a violent sandstorm that had blown through the area just a few days ago; therefore depositing another rather thick layer of dust and grit. She did wonder why people weren’t screeching or yelling dismay—she then realized that indeed, it did take a while before they actually managed to find something! Wondering if she had to dig a manhole in order to be able to find what she needed, she then decided to stop for a while, dropping the shovel right where she was digging and then pulling herself out of the shallow “trench” she’d dug up so far. She then walked over to her backpack and pulled out a canteen full of ice-cold water, and drank a few sips, before taking a look around the immediate area. Nobody had started hollering yet, so she could take a safe guess that the news was true; normally there would be people either jumping around or secretly raging and just digging until their arms fell off this time. “That’s odd…” she muttered to herself as she then closed the canteen and then tossed it back into the bag, before resuming digging. She then continued to whistle—until another sharp sound made her stop. She then prodded the spot and heard a distinctive “clinking” noise… and then abandoned the shovel, slipping on her working gloves as she began to manually heft dirt up and out of the way. It was buried quite deep; but in the end, she’d gotten it—there was another marble; and it definitely didn’t resemble any of the ones she had so far. “Heh. Today’s a good day to dig,” she muttered, quickly extracting the shining thing out of the ground and polishing off the grit. Its coloration scheme didn’t look like anything she knew, but all the same, she reached for the carrying case (which she never left behind) and then unzipped it, revealing the payload—there was one new addition; and even if it had set her back some (considering that it was for Ivan, and his stone was quite rare) it was all worth it. “Soon, very soon…” she muttered, nestling down the marble onto the bed of velvet, closing the case and picking up the abandoned shovel. She’d be back in another week; because she also had other pressing matters to attend to…! | | | | | WORDS 421 TAGS nope NOTES tl;dr--claiming it!
