A Series of Unfortunate (Crafting) Events [ by Root Groves ft. Neru Memeru ]

Root Groves teleports to Mist, passing by the Ocarina house and making her way to the marketboard as she was wont to do. 

Many say that the marketboard by the Mist docks was where the Midlander felt most in her natural habitat, and the talk around the neighbourhood was that Root only ever left what she considered her second home (after the Free Company home, of course) to gather clusters around Mor Dhona--and only ever during specific parts of the day. 

The rumours were mostly correct. Root did, in fact, spend much of her time in Eorzea standing by the summoning bell as it pinged forward various Eorzean retainers from all over the continent. 

Today, however, what awaited her by the marketboard was not the regular clamour of people looking to strike a deal in the marketplace, but rather a single, small, androgynous-looking Lalafell in the process of crafting. It was her fellow Free Company friend, Neru Memeru, and not mere seconds after Root teleports in she hears the very familiar sound of a craft by the frustrated Lalafell gone awry.

A crack, shatter, and several non-PG-13 expletives later, and Root can't help herself but run over to Neru to double over and cackle at his misfortune.

"80% my ass!" Neru screams over the broken remains of his (her? No one knows...) failed creation.

Root just laughs even harder.
