Pulchra's Probation Period (V)

(Talk to Red Moccus)

(Set off)

Go to "747" in Blazewood

 Step Description

---

Burnice asked Pulchra to inspect the goods, so go check them out together!

(Talk to Pulchra)

Pulchra: It's just in the Outer Ring. Burnice could just pick it up herself...

Pulchra: What a pain! Running into her is just the start of all the trouble.

But you accepted her invite anyway.

It's also the start of something new with the Sons of Calydon.

Pulchra: I've told you, I'm still on probation with the Sons of Calydon and I haven't decided whether I want to stay.

Pulchra: A group of weird folks, making me run errands for strange tasks every day... I seriously think they're just messing with me.

What's on the agenda today?

Pulchra: Today... Burnice said she wants me to pick up a package here and help her check the goods.

Pulchra: But typical of her, she didn't specify what to check and against what standards. What a hassle!

Pulchra: Forget it. I'll take a look first.

Pulchra takes out a package from 747, and when she opens it, some familiar items meet her eye.
An unopened surprise box, a bottle of grass-scented hair conditioner, a Port Elpis landscape poster with seagull claw prints, a small pillow worth 1,000 Dennies, and a handwritten letter from Burnice...

Pulchra's Letter:

"Hi, Pulchra! We didn't know your preferences, so we took the liberty of preparing some gifts for you based on my observations of what cats might enjoy!"
"We hope you'll have fun toys, soft fur, warm sunshine, a bit of luck, a touch of softness, and the genuine feelings of your companions."
"Though these words might be a bit late, we hope you'll be happier than all the cats in the Outer Ring! Welcome to Sons of Calydon!"

Pulchra: These troublesome guys... I've been a mercenary for so long, and I won't be bought over by these kid tricks.

Your tail tip is wagging.

But your ears turned red.

Pulchra: It's just... just that it's too hot today. You saw nothing. I mean, you just can't tell.

Pulchra: I'm putting them on a quite long probation period!

Pulchra turns her head away, and catches sight of a row of heads poking out from behind the grocery stands.
Realizing they're spotted by Pulchra, the Sons of Calydon all walk out.

Pulchra: Wh—What are you guys doing here?!

Burnice: Watching your ears turn red.

Pulchra: That's not true!

Burnice: Oh, are my eyes are lying to me? Let me touch your ears so see if they're getting hot!

Pulchra: Don't! Don't touch me!

Caesar: Burnice, leave Pulchra alone! At least you should be gentle. Let me show you.

Pulchra: Caesar! Don't you dare grab my tail!

Lucy: Alright, stop messing with Pulchra. Don't you have something to say?

Caesar: I do! Pulchra, I'm not really good with words. We all have our own perspectives on what happened in the past. But now, you're one of us!

Caesar: In any case, I won't let anyone bully you in the Outer Ring. Sons of Calydon will always have a place for you.

Lucy: I don't mind having another smart fellow around.

Piper: Pulchra seems like the type who would bring good luck, and I really like that.

Lighter: You're quite skilled. I think I'll challenge you to spar.

Red Moccus: Ena-nu neh-nha! (Pulchra is a big good cat!)

Burnice: I super love you, Pulchra, so I'm really happy you can join the Sons of Calydon!

Pulchra: Idiots, a bunch of idiots...

It's time to be honest.

Pulchra: ...

Pulchra: I'm happy too... that you are willing to become my companions.

If you want to take in a cat that's been wandering for a long time, there's no need for discipline; it's not about winning or losing.
A contract is just a piece of paper and won't hold her back.
But she'll be bound by love, wrapped in kindness, and she won't want to leave again.
