>LORE UPDATED
>Paradiso: The relatively comfiest place on the Desert, It was built by truckers on their spare time and maintained by a syndicate of hookers when the truckers left, Now Paradiso stands as the pillar that screams "Hey, Maybe stuff isn't so bad!" through the part of the Desert that's still communicated with the mainland. The Buildings are built next to different rock formations that make them stick out like an architect's wet dream. Hospitality is top notch if yours is top notch as well, so mind your manners with the rest of the village

"So?" Alberto says as she stretches her legs "Why are you heading to Devolver?"

"Well My truck is pretty much totaled beyond recognition, So I need to start over"

"How much money do you have?" Alberto asks with "I might hook you up with a mechanic I know"

>CURRENT CREDITS: 30M DUOLONS

"It's all I have from the trucking business. Think It will work for a cheap truck?"

"Hmmph, Maybe a cheap cross-country car" Alberto says with a dubious gaze "I'll try to talk with him and see if you can get a job ASAP"

And with that said Silence covers the Ambulance as an awkward air passes through your lungs

>"So what was your job back there?"
>"How far are we from Paradiso?
>"What are you going to do in Devolver?"

>"So what was your job back there?"

"So what was your job back there?" You ask, hoping to catch some info from the woman

"Had to bring some medical supplies from Jotaseta for the elders that live in retiro del Bandido, after hitting the 300 year mark, they actually need to be taken care of believe it or not" Alberto says as she brushes her book and closes it for later reading "and yours? Delivery gone wrong?"

"Had to escort that Nagisan over there" You say as you point at the now mummified corpse of the Nagisan girl

"Jeez....Well there's always other jobs..." Alberto winces at the corpse one more time, it seems she still had enough humanity to be fazed by the corpse of a little girl

"What are you going to do in Devolver?" You ask again, afraid the conversation heads into a stalemate

"Heading back to HQ, I work for the sons of Devolver so I'm always doing some touring through the villages to see who has what" Alberto answers with not much care

The Ambulance starts applying the brakes and easing on the throttle as you see the first houses in front of you.

"We're here" Alberto says with confidence "We'll be heading for Devolver tomorrow, have to compile a report for the guys at HQ"

As you step from the ambulance, you see Mikel silently joining you with his hand on his head

>"Want to rest on an inn?"
>"C'mon let's see what there is to see"
>(Unfettered) Leave him there, he's a grown ass man

"C'mon, Let's see what we have here" You say as you try to motion Mikel to follow you

"Uuugh....Sure...Boss" Mikel says as he rubs his forehead with passion and forte "Have....You seen Lorena's corpse?"

"No, not familiar with the landmark" You say as you head towards a small bar inside one of the rock pillars

The bar was nothing that could be considered out of place, different bottles lining the place as well as truckers and travelers alike sharing stories/fights/insults/Kisses at each other.

As you sit in a fairly rustic but still old as fuck counter, an old man starts serving you what you could call to the naked eye "Extremely old beer", it's color being a blackish red and Its smell being strong enough to paralyze a pish-posh noble

"Uuum we didnt ask for anythi-" You try to talk to the bartender but he cuts you off with a rough voice

"It's free, rich man over there is trying to make friends the best way he can" The bartender says as he points to a blonde fellow whose clothes and skin smelled of hand-crafted perfume made by a virgin maiden "Bloke said that as long as he's here, he will pay for all the drinks"

"You really think he's going to fulfill that?" Mikel says as he wraps a wet towel on his forehead, making his pain recede a little "I bet he thinks that each beer costs 1 Duolon each"

"That's why I'm not letting anyone buy the whole stock" Bartender says in a gruff manner "Also gonna make sure the fucker pays the bill"

"So anyway.."The gruff man says as he looks at you "What do you need"

>"Copious amounts of booze"
>"Were looking for Lorena's corpse, friend here says is a tourist attraction"
>"You got any jobs? We could use some jobs right about now"

>>42035403
>"Copious amounts of booze"
>Go say hi to the blonde dude

"Copious amounts of booze please" You say as you start gulping down the drink you were given

The taste was like molasses had a brain dysfunction and started thinking it was beer, it was as strong as a kick from an armored mule, you could actually feel the substance grip from the inner parts of your throat, clinging to its inexistent life, clogging your respiratory system out of pure spite. Yet, as you try to scream for help a new, more pleasant flavor recedes in the inside of your stomach and mouth, like if the black sludge that you drank knew its fate and passed away with dignity

"So how does it taste?" The bartender says as he gives you a cheeky smile " I always love the face newcomers put when they drink the stuff. I'll be giving you guys something more normal if you want"

"Yeah....that would be nice" You answer as you give big gulps of air in between your sentences

As you calm down you try to get a better look at the blonde guy, currently surrounded by hookers (Bet he thinks are groupies) and drunk truckers (Bet he thinks they are going to talk to him tomorrow)

You consider your options of following around and see just what the hell is the guy going to do, hell, he would probably buy you a truck if you play your cards right

> Approach him like a normal person once he leaves the bar, maybe he will like the company of someone that doesn't like to lick his balls all day
>Go for the drunk girl gig, join the hookers and try to get over them
>Try and catch him here and now, Peer pressure is a hell of a drug, you could make him spend some bucks on you

You decide to wait until he leaves. He will be more open to attack, easy to get a read on.

As you divert your sight from the noble you look at Mikel, having his head on the counter, and grasping in pain, seems the headaches are getting stronger...

Meanwhile the bartender serves you another drink, this time much more mellower than the last one since you can at least see through the glass this time

"What's happening to you friend? road sickness?" The bartender asks as he cleans the counter

"hell if I know, He's been like that ever since I woke up" You say as you pat Mikel with a sense of pity, this only makes Mikel groan profoundly

"Well, My bet is on road sickness as well as head concussion" The bartender says as he gives Mikel a good look "Then again there's rumors a magic user has been around this district lately"

Bloody hell. Magic Users? what do they want in here?

>(cont)

>>42036518
>LORE UPDATED
>Magic Users: From pain in the ass to harbinger of the apocalypse. magic users are people that are born from 1 in a million no matter the race, color, status. people that are born magic users are meant to make an impact, from as small as a pub rumor to as big as a full-fledged religion. The "magic" magic users have is specific to the user and is always different from one another, from turning stuff into pies to reality warping and manipulation. Magic users are no joke and you should not treat them as such, even dead they pose a threat thanks to lingering magic that shoot out of their bodies and corrupts the people around them.

"What the hell is a magic user doing here?" You ask with a surprised tone

"Supposedly the last reports mention that the magic was "psychological" the user would break the victim down by simply talking to them long enough. by the time the effects set in is way too late to change" The bartender gloomily says "Although the user wasn't trained enough to be a danger yet, so someone with a good will would probably nullify the effects of the curse"

"Who knows? maybe the bloke found her around and she set a curse on him for shit's and giggles" The bartender says as he leaves to attend to other people, leaving you and Mikel alone

>"Hey buddy... you okay?"
>Lift him over and take him to a nearby inn, noble man can wait
>Lift him and take him to the hospital, hopefully they won't charge much
>(Unfettered) Steal his wallet and wait for the nobleman to appear

>>42036774
>Hey buddy you okay?
>Lift him over and take him to a nearby inn, noble man can wait

>>42036774
"Hey buddy...You okay?" You ask as Mikel groans in pain, yeah this was more than a fever, Pish-posh man can wait
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You lay on top of a cheap bed with a white tank-top and some form fitting black pants, you feel the comfort of the bed, despite its low manufacture, it was still miles better than what your previous truck had to offer.

In the other side of the bed lies a shirtless Mikel with a bag of Ice on his head: his face showed a myriad of pent up emotions raging to go out like a pack of wild dogs through the inn, despite this he was still trying to make a conversation

"You...think...this is magic....b-boss?" Mikel says as he presses the ice on his head "I t-think its ....magic"

"Calm down Mikel" You say showing your leadership "(MND over 4) Magic users are far and in between, besides... magic feels different from normal diseases...it's more...abstract"

"I feel...pretty...a-abstract" Mikel says alarming himself more than you "I....My brain hurts....It hurts a lot....b-boss"

>"Just go to sleep Mikel, don't worry about this one"
>"Fine...I'll see if I can find Alberto, maybe she can patch you up"
>"Look...It's gonna be okay"

>>42037326
>"Just go to sleep Mikel, don't worry about this one"

>>42037326
>>"Just go to sleep Mikel, don't worry about this one"
Hush sweet child

>>42037326
You calm down Mikel in a motherly manner laying him on the bed an motioning him to sleep

"Don't worry buddy, just go to sleep" You say as you put a blanket over Mikel

"B-b-boss...Can I......... ask you something?" Mikel says as he tugs on the blankets in pain

"Uuuh...go ahead"

"What's your name...?" Mikel says as he tries to look at you in the face

>"Uuum why do you want to know?"
>"Sure, it's [FAKE NAME]" There is a reason for this answer
>"Sure It's [REAL NAME]"
>(Unfettered)" You don't need to know my name"

>>42038049
>(Unfettered)" You don't need to know my name"

>>42038049
"You don't need to know my name" You say as you pet him to sleep, trying to sound not-threatening

"O-okay...I-I just wanted to know your name" Mikel says as he goes to sleep

You get off your bed and take a last look at him before leaving towards another empty room and going to sleep in you bed (And it's relatively incredible comfyness)
____________________________________________________________________________________

It is the middle of the night

You can hear shouts from the other room, pleading for help, screaming to the heavens and hells in equal measures, you can feel the pain from your room

......

.......Mikel?

>And that's it! As always check my twitter for more quests! I will try to make another quest this same day next week!
