[銀河の物語] - Or Squibsim 2019

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die, and rolls a 4

You glance over between the vending machine and the intense notail, contemplating which one to go to first. Unfortunate your decision is made for you, as the notail notices you and seems to take interest, they strut up to you hands clasped behind their back.
"Ah yes, you, maybe you'll be more helpful ,;v;," He practically hisses at you. He's shorter than you, and not very much stronger looking than you... and yet he emits this aura that gives you pause. Jay quickly slinks back into the elevator. "Ah-ah-I-I'll seeyoulaterbai" He squeaks out before closing the elevator behind him.

Despite the tension you feel and the fearsome aura the notail projects, you manage to muster your resolve. "Yes, what can I help you with." You ask. The notail cocks his head, and his antenna twitch.
The Wolves proceed to close in
"Well, quelan, I'll have you know I'm looking for a very particular sort of monster that's been sighted in the area ,;v;," The other notails have formed a circle around the two of you, seemingly on the presumption that you would attempt to run.
But you don't.
"It's a little taller than you... about a head taller I'd say, with tremendous claws and monstrous fangs, yesss ,;v;," He's peering at your face as he says this, you can't tell if he thinking, but he's very intent on it.

Just then one of the bigger notails rushes at you, and you narrowly avoid them. It seems like the others are going to rush at you as well but then they suddenly don't. "N...No. I'm sorry I don't think I've seen anything like that here, I don't think I've even hear of such a thing, maybe you're... mistaken." You try to sound a lot bolder than you really are when you say that...you're not certain it.
"Well... I don't think so ,;v;," He say, and with only the slightest twitching of his antenna to signify anything, He and the other notails begin to file out. "I'd keep a eye out though, It can do nasty things to a quaint little town like this one ,;v;," As he leaves the big one glances back at you, and you get a better look at him. All the other notails are dressed the same, black turtleneck, gray slack and a white wolf mask. This one's dressed differently though, His mask is black, He does that "watching you" gesture with his hands, and then walks away.
After a few moments you collapse on the ground. That was a little bit too much for you. You really feel like you'll need that snack now.

You insert 200p into the machine. Unfortunately all the buttons are sorta busted so you don't really know what you're gonna get. The machine cranks for a minute or two, before finally depositing something out.
It's a small plastic container with holes on the side. On the front there's a little cartoon picture of an aftik, and on the back... some suggestions on how to prepare. You think you feel something rustle inside there. Now you're no vegetarian or anything... but... well... You'll deal with this later you guess.

You exit your apartment complex onto the mainstreet. Thankfully for your nerves the notails seem to have moved on fairly quickly after they left. The street itself is fairly empty, not uncommon, you picked this apartment precisely because it was fairly quiet. You turn to head in the direction of the Galaxy Burger Home of the Galaxy burger". You spot a curious looking figure crouched in the street.
You say curious of course because you can't tell what they are... not like the way you couldn't tell what Jay was, but rather in a entirely different way that you can't put your finger on. You reflect on the circumstances that likely led to his present state. This planet has a reputation, you'd suppose, for attracting vagrants, the misbegotten, outcasts you supposes.
A place for people with nowhere else to go.
A twinge of guilt over gawking compels you to approach them, They're a ragged thing, in a coat that's far too large for them, impressive as they seem rather large themselves. Being decidely [selfless], you place 200p in the little jar they've set in front of them.
"Well prize myne eyes, what is this" They say in a low, whispy tone that nearly escapes your hearing. They look up at you, with these large gleaming yellow eyes.
Like waxing moons gazing upon the sun

Immediately they clasp their hands around one of your arms. "Such generosyty mein dear, is not a common thing."

You eyes lock in a strange moment, where everything seems to still around you. "Oh I-I don't know it was nothing really." The being rises up in a jolt, now towering over you. "Oh no no no no, mein enjelus, most would bare contempt than mind a vagrant soul, bereft of home." They bend down bringing their face near to yours, and you think you can see... feathers. "No m'dear, in four and three days hence, shall I repay this, generosity, whence I return to this hamlet." And in a sudden burst of motion, you spin together, before you're just left spinning.
You're left once agains aghast by this strange turn of events... and then you notice, stuck to one of your tentacles, is a slip of paper... a tick, red on one side and blue on the other.
ADMIT ONE: TO SHALLIZARAD'S CARNIVALE OF CHEER / SPECIAL GUEST LE SAPHIR
You're not really certain what to think about all of this. It all happened so suddenly and you feel a bit light headed in the aftermath of it. You hear a clock chime in the distance. One... Two... Three... ... ... ...Seven. Well, you're definitely late.
