Day 16 - What A Twist!

Unfortunately, due to a Christmas party and some degree of confusion and distraction, I forgot all about my crops. I woke up today to 10 pots of dead Wildgrass plants... On Itolie, at least. Meanwhile, Toku's 10 pots were still alive! Thank goodness I only lost half the crop.

NobleCrimson took a walk with Zopago this morning. He had his fill and has calmed down. We went on three short walks together. The first two were uneventful, but the third time he found a little worm for me. Not the best find ever, but it was still a sweet gesture. I watched over him six times before dinner. He ate two balls of carrot paste... I only had one, so I had to craft some more.

Unfortunately, there were no single Lizard Eggs available anywhere, so I had to drop 4k on a stack of them. While I was at it, I went and bought five bottles of distilled water for 55g; as many bottles as I had water crystals on hand. I also happened to have just exactly five bags of La Theine Millet stored away. This brought my Chocobo Fund down to 58,103g... But to my amazement, I HQ3'd my second attempt! I've never HQ3'd anything! Eight balls of paste instead of two! I also HQ2'd my last attempt, for six instead of two. This gave me a whopping 20 balls of carrot paste... Far more than Noble Feather will need. When he reaches adolesence, I plan to sell the rest to help recoup my Chocobo Fund. One more ball of paste filled him up... And what started out as a rotten day turned out very, very good!
