When Teenie received the first message from Gogo in the linkshell, it didnt seem like a critical summons.
A simple "Teenie. You have a delivery you need to take care of" which, while not common, didnt seem like an emergency. Teenie sent a quick reply "in a dungeon, brb" and didnt think anymore of it. Her linkshell went quiet and she focused on not dying. It wasn't until the party emerged vistorious that she had a chance to listen back to the messages.
"Teenie. You need to clear this up. Now."
"Teenie. Where are you?"
"Teenie. They don't blink. WHY DON'T THEY BLINK??"
"Teenie. They have started dancing? Is this a sign of aggression? I am going to take it as a sign of aggression if you don't RESPOND NOW"
"Teenie. If you don't get your lala tail in this building so help me, I will commit atrocities"
The Au ra's voice grew rougher and more unhinged as the messages came through. Teenie was already teleporting to the company house when the last message came up on the linkshell
"Omw boss"
Teenie arrived before the Angel's free company headquarters, ran to the front of the house and burst through the front door to a great shout!
"WASSHOI!!"
"TEENIE FLETCHINGS SO HELP ME GET THESE THINGS OUT OF THIS HOUSE!!"
Teenie stood mouth agape as four namazu, dressed in celebratory finery, shook tails and bounced back and forth around Gogo. For her part, Gogo stood stiffly at attention, heterochromatic eyes glaring death at the short bard, her scaled tail quivering in anger.
Teenie held up her hands placatingly, a small grin and soft voice saying "No worries boss. I'll just house them in my room, for now. Sound good? Good!" Teenie was pushing the fishy folks through the door to her room, never taking her eyes off of the au ra.
"See? No worries! I'll let you know when they are done visiting"
The shuffle of short bodies to Teenies tea room was a loud chaotic mess of namazu chants, lalafellen elbow sized bruises, and at least one small concussion.
" Alright friends, what brings you here? I thought you had a big festival to get ready?" Teenie began, looking to the four namazu standing together.
" Namazu wish to reward Teenie for all your hard work, yes yes!"
"Sent here to work hard for our friend in return! Yes, yes!"
"His whiskers have spoken! Yes, yes!"
"We were just stepping on each others tails. So here we are! Yes, yes!"
It took a moment before the realization that they would NOT be leaving struck Teenie.
" Wait...you're going to work for me? Here?!"
"We will not disappoint you!"
"WASSHOI!!!"
Teenie sighed shaking her head as she reached for her linkshell to contacte Gogo. Probably best to let her know she should never come into Teenies room. Ever.
"And this is the last time we heard from Teenie... Yes, yes!" XD
