The Case of the Missing Jewels





As you hurry across the beach to look over the Freyalise Trading Company goods again, you bump into a very unstable and bleary-eyed Mattieu. He hardly looks like himself with wrinkled clothing and messy hair.



"What happened to you?" you ask.



"I wish I knew," he moans as he attempts to straighten his rumpled clothes. "Last night I met Captain Jaques at the Rathskeller Inn to go through his stock and purchase some new jewelry materials--I didn\'t want to pay those ridiculously marked up prices he charges the tourists--and this morning I woke up with the most awful headache. But that\'s not the worst of it. All my money is gone but I\'ve only got a handful of materials!" He glares at the Freyalise. "Those dirty pirates must have gotten me drunk and ripped me off!"



"But there\'s a whole crew of them and just one of me," he says sadly. "Unless--no,I couldn\'t--but, well, I don\'t suppose you be willing to come with me for moral support?



Privately you think he may need you more for physical support than moral, judging by his unsteady gait.

I thought he was a girl too. I guess I shouldn't let looks fool me...

Why are some people getting angry at those who didn't know he was a male o.o? That's a silly reason to get mad at someone. Heck, at first I thought he was a woman up until just now when I read it then I was like "Oh, he's a dude." I mean he kind of looks like a girl...and we all know jewelry is a girl's best friend XD. But really, people shouldn't get mad at those who were confused c: just enjoy the mini plot.

(If you know how to complete any of the steps, let me know ;w;)

I's gonna need help on all the steps *w*

I was just joking about it XD Always knew he's a guy. Mattieu is the one who should be offended... Gosh

yay plots!

but lol @ outrage at male/female stuff.

popducK

I thought he was a woman as well. I don't see why it is intolerant or offensive to say that. I was wrong, oh well, who cares. Now we know he's a dude. Some people just get offended over everything.

There's been a lot of plots lately. Subeta is eating up my life.
0

Ratrick

To the people who didn't know he was male:

A. What does it matter what gender an NPC identifies as? I thought Subeta was a little more tolerant. Long hair on a man, and everyone flips out. I hope you don't react this way with real people!

B. There was a point in history where he would have been considered normal in appearance and we would have been burned at the stake for being "witches" based on how we dressed now. He has a very classic historical look to him.

Enjoy the plot, drop your preconceived notions of gender, please. >.>

Matteiu being a variant of Matthew...I'm surprised how many thought he was a she, despite his blond flowing locks.

On another note...I wish we could figure out the rest of the clues heh!

good. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't supposed to have a full one and an empty one ;)
0

Kel

I think it's supposed to be filled xD
0

Extract

the board is saying you get empty from #1 and filled at #2, I figured out #1 but didn't check my inventory before going to #2 so all I have is a filled one.
0

Kel

@Extract
I got a full bucket from the #2 clue
0

Extract

unless it was then filled?

I went to get the empty bucket and I'm not getting it...

i feel like this whole thing spells out "you will get new tc items for thief"

@Babycake
The last clue refers to the Genetech, so it probably has to do with combining the sponge or the capsule with the rest =P
0

Babycake

Kelzca: I tried soaking it in water but it just gave me a normal sponge, not sure how to trigger it.
0

LucidDreams

I thought the capsule one was to do with those halloween capsules but I've soaked a couple and nothing happened. :x So confused.

Extract

oh I see...

Mattieu is a cutie! ^.^

I think +3 refers to the Sponge Capsule (like
Yellow Sponge Capsule
).
It's an old morostide item, and when you use it, it changes into a sponge =)
0

Babycake

Guys, hover over the words 'come with me' and it should lead to the beginning.

'
Strange capsule in my

Oh look, an old sponge!'

Would this have anything to do with the Candy Shack items being at the Mystery Box? :/. I tried opening a few but no success.

Can someone tell me what to do with this clue so I can help with the third?

'Warm sands, autumn hair,

Step two is to visit the Secluded Shrine. I tried Shinwa first but not worked.

How do you actually get it started? I'm sure I could figure out the clues but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling

Step Two: find someone in the desert who has "autumn"-coloured hair.

I've got the first two. I have an idea to what the third is alluding, but not sure how to get it. After that, I'm stumped.

I tried buying things with the word 'bucket', 'water', 'sponge', and 'soap' and combining the at the Genetech Lab but no such luck.
