StoryⅠ”The gatherer”
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
As I began my journey through the Churning Mist, I noticed unspoiled nodes and instantly ran over. I couldn't fly yet—or perhaps I forgot I could. Either way, I made it at last, and there was a mysterious person looming above the skies—slightly above the node—AFK. Parking. Away. AFK. (Thanks Kobolds) –and so I wet my lips and begin to prep my fists around my under-geared Botanist gear... only for a bear to notice me and attack!... My heart almost slammed into my throat. I ran. I was too under-geared. It could kill, and I'd have to teleport, pay fees, and run all the way back—or fly if I'd remember... I ran and outran. I returned, and boy did I return! That person was mining! And as I wet my lips once more to prep again, THE NODE DISAPPEARED. I fumed. It was a mentor, too. Did they steal!? HOW DARE THEY!!! I felt like shouting and screaming. All my effort...nullified. I continue on. I end up in... Dravania. somewhere—I can't recall. As I was minding my own business, this time by mining my own business—there was discovered an unspoiled node! Excited, I grab my bike, I begin to race. This time, I said to myself, I shall not fail! Upon arrival, it took me a bit to prep. Nodes ready, hammer ready. Ready as ready can be—about to mine—all hidden cleared... AND THEN I HEAR SOMEONE MINE, and I begin to mine my first—NOPE... the node disappeared...　THE SAME PERSON, stole it, again!? I got... sad. Defeat. Upset. Hurt. Sad. I couldn't stop myself anymore. I sent a tell: “Can you stop?! Are you stealing!?” I realized... this isn't the old MMORPG I am playing where there is mining, gathering, felling nodes—yet—never character bound. So in my mind, it was mayhaps the same. One person could take, steal, park, rob... ah, disastrous! My research revealed opposite, which brought some relief. So I let it be... ONLY TO FIND THE SAME PERSON ON MY NODE AGAIN!
　ああぁぁあぁぁぁああーー！！
The person replied:? o.O
I commented: “I been trying to get unspoiled nodes and every time you come here stealing the show and taking it! … is it really one-person only?
It replied: “No, it's character bound but only around for 5 minutes. Do you need help?”
GASP. This person offered help?! A mentor?! My unwarranted and unright bitterness suddenly fell into bliss and embarrassment... I made friends, a new one, a rare kind. They helped me quite a bit. It has been a blissful way, and I suddenly realized, how dumb I must've looked and sounded! Happy Ending.

StoryⅡ ”The gardening”
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Do you remember the earliest blogs? The blogs in which I tried to discover all about crafting, gathering, and figured something about gardening? Remember how I wished to pot my own seeds and soil; bring them to life, garden and water the mall the while I journey my way through Eorzean's realm? My dreams shattered when I found out it was hidden and concealed behind the worst places in all of the realm: Free Company. UGH. Must I really be part of the shamble!?

Fortunately, a victim found me and I found my victim. We have become one as a form of a pact. Not really—I joined, or better said—I was kidnapped into his gross Free Company, filled with brilliant people, chefs, talented Elezens and adorable lalafels... but... there were two conditions the insolent leader had to accept before I'd allow him to kidnap me into his Den:
❶I can use your garden as my personal space to plant soil.
❷You are to carry and help me through Eureka in time.
I don't know about you—but I'd never agreed to these terms. Shows how determined this insolent leader was to have me with him! Their truth of his real intention will become clear soon enough when I have him captured in handcuffs against my handcuffed wrist, unable to run away from me as he so wished, only to lure him into the Den that is mine to live; Eureka!!!!
A-anyway, back to the story; I had always imagined myself to be doing gardening on my own, in a lonesome area, at a quiet place close by the seas... but how my first gardening went was beyond what I had envisioned. It started off with me sitting in my self-proclaimed Giraffe chair, only to be harassed by 4 FC-members, and then somehow they got me to go outside where, suddenly, I remembered the gardening. And many others did. so—there I was. Nervously fidgetting... I can do this. I can DO THIS! ...And upon doing so, fetching random seeds and soils, I did my first gardening. Surrounded by new comrades I hope someday are comfortable enough to consider my friend. Even my insolent leader came around to watch me and helped me through. It was special for me. It was joyous, more lively and honoring, more jubilant and vivid than my envisioned version. While people may not have known or noticed, deep down, it was a touching moment. We did the harvest dance and cheered the leafs on. It was fun for me. And I was happy, for once in a long time since the calamity of my own personal life in reality.
Thank you for the opportunity.
