[Episode] What Town Is This Again?

Quest Info:

The small boat could hardly be described as comfortable, but it sure as hell beat being trapped under the deck of the kind merchant ship. Now the only thing that was bothering Kabe was the fact that he had absolutely nothing to do. At least back on the merchant’s ship members of the crew would hang out and talk with the large swordsman.

Regardless, Kabe did not put too much thought into his current situation. Especially because he still had his favorite snacks right next to--

The dog couldn’t believe it, It was all just there right next to him. All of his food that he was so excited to finish from last night. He leaned around, still sitting in his large lawn chair that he had placed near the helm of the small vessel. To his surprise all of his food had disappeared with the exceptions of a few crumbs. This could not be real, Cygnus is a big guy but he never eats that amount of food unless he is sad, drunk, or nervous.

Now standing up Kabe looks to the horizon, fortunately he sees what appears to be an island coming up where he can hopefully restock his supply of food.

The seas are calm and the sky is only partly covered by big fluffy clouds. The breeze is nice and cool and if the situation had been different for Kabe he might even be happy at this moment. About half an hour passes and Cygnus is finally coming upon the island. Upon basic inspection the dog notices that all of the buildings have similar designs and color schemes. They even had multiple of the same flag flying high in the air. The port had no space to dock so Kabe opted to go farther along down the beach before he dropped the anchor.

The near 17 foot tall Mink had left his swords and cloak on the ship. Leaving himself only dressed in a white swimsuit and beige sandals. Kabe felt confident that most common folk would leave him alone purely based on his size. While on his way over to the port town Cygnus took a moment to observe the local wildlife of the island. Palm trees towered over the edge of the beach, guarding a thick forest of deciduous trees. Small animals like squirrels and songbirds were abundant and could be easily seen up in the branches or rummaging around on the forest floor.

“Stop right there”

Kabe turned his head in reaction to the unfamiliar voice but as he looked around he was unable to locate anyone in the vicinity.

“Down here big guy”

Kabe looks down and is unable to help himself from letting out a hearty laugh, “Grororororo, My bad friend. What can I help you with?”

“You are about to enter a Marine base and I do not recognize you, can you please give me some sort of identification”

Cygnus pretends to search in his pockets in order to buy himself some time. A moment passes but luckily another man steps up

“Wait a minute you idiot, I think that's Commander Starch”

“Oh, you really ate that weird fruit that the Captain gave you? I couldn’t even recognize you my bad boss”

“I cannot believe that these guys are more dumb than me, Lets see how long the charade will last at this point”

“Grorororo, I’ll tell you guys all about it later. I just gotta go do some-- uh business”

“All right see you later Starch-san”

Kabe walks into the large marine outpost and only has one thought on his mind.

Where is their kitchen?

The coastal base was quite busy despite its more rural location. Marines crowded around the small handful of docks, although some of the grunts seemed to have already retired for the day based on what they were drinking. Out of the soldiers that had greeted Kabe not a single one had questioned him based on his appearance for more than a few seconds. The large swordsman was sure that part of this however was the fact that the man at the gate has been telling everyone that he was a so-called “Commander Starch”.

As Kabe got bored of aimlessly wandering the outpost he tried to rack his brain for any ideas on how to find out where any sort of mess hall would be located. Looking to the sky the only indication of any food being made was the few plumes that could be seen near the center of the encampment.

Upon reaching the source of the smoke Kabe entered the modestly sized tent. The few soldiers that were scattered about inside did not pay any mind to the man. The swordless swordsman forgoed grabbing any plates and instead opted to eat his food directly from the heated trays located in the very back of the tent.

Off the port of the camp

A larger than average man sat on the deck of his ship, The commander had requested that he return to the island in preparations for their journey to Flevance. Rising up from his seat the marine officer looked towards the base taking in the scenery for the first time in a couple of weeks. At least that is what the officers plan was until he noticed some giant idiot walking around like he owned the place. The officer looked over to the one other soldier that he trusted, an orange haired man by the name of Shelmet, based off of the large tattoo that covered his chest.

“Do you have any idea who that guy is? Why is he just wandering the base? Contact our men on land and have them arrest that fool”
