Sixth Jiggy | [Voice/Action] | Backdated to the 21st

[Sometime after the announcement for the latest mission goes up, this particularly raucous, squawking voice sounds over the journal.

Kazooie sounds nothing short of exultant, and possibly a tad more arrogant than usual.]

Looks like the Malnosso-guys got good taste for once!

[She smirks into the journal - it looks kind of silly, with a beak.] Guess who's going on this awesome mission? That's right - me! Only makes sense that they'd pick a real hero for the job. This monster thing sounds like it needs one heck of a beatdown! So I'll just have to give it one.

[She's not so sure on being accompanied by the creepy droids, though.]

Those dumb-bots they're sendin' with us had better not try anything funny, or I'll turn 'em into scrap.

[Yes, she is entirely too cocky. Judging by her casual-sounding air, this whole concept - going into a completely-new place to face a foreign hellbeast - is old hat to her. But she's probably exaggerating her own abilities by... a lot.]

Wonder if they'll let me bring a few Nests of Eggs with me? Or maybe my backpack? They'd better give us plenty of cool stuff if they want us to kick butt for 'em!

And what else do you guys usually bring on these missions, anyway? Gotta make sure I'm ready to go. Usually I'd just get Banjo to do that for me...

[After her little chat with the villagers, Kazooie will head out, intent on making the rounds in the village and saying hi to anybody she needs to meet before her mission. In particular, she'll be seeking out these people she's supposed to go with, if she hasn't talked to them already.

Also, her friends. Gotta reassure them that she'll be just fine... even if she isn't entirely cognizant of what she's going to be up against. But she's a hero, right? She can do it - no matter what the odds are, she'll make it. She's done it before; she'll do it again, as many times as it takes.

That's what being a hero is all about!]

[That's one of the other people going on this mission? She sounds... awfully confident. Arrogant, even. That's not necessarily a good thing; pride comes before a fall, after all. And that's especially true in regards to something like this. Going by the information provided so far, this sounded like a rather dangerous mission.

Still, despite that, Joshua's voice is calm when he speaks up. If they're in this together, there's no need to risk antagonizing her.]

I can't say if they'll let us request anything, but it might be a good idea to bring items you think could be useful.

[Considering what they know about the mission so far...] You could, for example, bring something that can counteract poisoning. [He's been working on preparing a few different antidotes himself, at least, just in case one might work if someone is affected by one of the unknown toxins.

...He hasn't quite noticed the journal's snapshot just yet, it seems.]

[Joshua is right to think that Kazooie is... arrogant, to say the least. In fact, it may not even be the most accurate description - she's literally driven by her ego.

But hey, this is a good suggestion, even if she won't admit it. A voice of reason who isn't disagreeing with her is a nice change.]

Poisoning, huh? That's never really happened to me, 'cept the time in Glitter Gulch Mine with the really gross air.

[...] Oh, and stinky cheese.

That monster can't be worse than that cheese, ugh.

[Voice]

[eyesofremorse]

[That actually sounds like an apt comparison to him... except for the bit about cheese. That just sounds ridiculous. Cheese can't possibly be as bad as poisonous air, can it...?]

If the toxins the Malnosso mentioned are airborne, it's probably going to be similar to that mine. [And that's what he suspects based on the information available, honestly. Airborne toxins could easily affect someone if they aren't equipped with anything to prevent inhaling them, so that'd explain the Malnosso's insistence on a healer capable of dealing with poison.

...

There's a moment of awkward silence before the reply actually ends, as if Joshua was considering saying something else but ultimately decided against it. As... weird as that cheese comment was, he's not sure if he really wants to ask about it, even if he's a little curious.]

[Voice]

[talontrot]

[Be glad you have not smelled that cheese, Joshua. It is foul.

Obliviousness to awkwardness, Kazooie prattles on.]

Maybe there's gonna be like... some puzzle! Where we have to go in and out of the place with the gross air and some other place with not-gross air!

Mumbo coulda just fixed it with magic, I bet...
