Hey everyone, looks like a new Kit The Traveler story came out. Here it is! This one is narrated by The Kryten Herald, who plans to make a machinima out of this.
It’s been a rather boring month for Kit and Mr. Sprinkle. Even though the company is doing very well, Kit can’t help but feel so bored. Kit is leaning back in her chair, tapping her foot while humming a song, when a note slides underneath her office door. She gets up with a start and opens the door, but nobody is there. “Hmm, another discreet customer, I bet.” Kit says to herself. She opens the letter; it reads:
Prosperous Kit,
It seems you’ve grown lazy in your search for your family’s history. Apparently your capitalistic nature has overtaken your once intense desire for the truth. In order to keep you honest, I have undergone the investigative work for you and have enclosed the location of an artifact I believe you’ll find to be very important to the Traveler family.
Good luck, O
Kit’s eyebrows shoot upward. “Sprinkle! Adventure time!” she shouts. Sprinkle’s hooves could be heard throughout the warehouse and suddenly he was at Kit’s door, eager to set out. Thankfully, they don’t even have to travel that far. The letter marks an area just north of Lion’s Arch. It seems odd that it would be so close but, then again, Kit never thought to search so close to the cities, thinking it would have been just too easy.
Kit loads Mr. Sprinkle up with a small amount of supplies and provisions and they set off toward the Gendarran Fields. During the trip Kit went over the note a few more times, seemingly a little disappointed that they didn’t have to travel that far. She was also pretty certain there weren’t any locations here that haven’t been found already. Nevertheless she and Sprinkle pressed onward; what else could they do? The map marker brings them to a section in the north-western section of the Fields, where a newly-formed cave now resides. The mouth of the cave looks freshly-dug and footprints still litter the area, indicating this has seen a high amount of traffic recently.
They move in cautiously. Mr. Sprinkle is doing is best to be sneaky, but no amount of slightly crouching would silence the rattling of the packs on his back. No light sources have been installed in this cave yet, so Kit had to light a torch in order to continue. The cave lead deep into the earth, deeper than Kit imagined it would go, until it finally opened up. The torch could not illuminate very far, but Kit could barely make out what looked to be storage containers and barrels.
Mr. Sprinkle shoves his way in and his pack knocks over a barrel, which rolls into a stack of more barrels, some of which roll into a pile of lamps, breaking them open and spilling the oil. Another smashes into a crate, spilling dynamite with long fuses. Kit suddenly realizes this must be a demolitions cache! Mr. Sprinkle panics and bumps into Kit, knocking the torch from her hand, which soars through the air and lands onto a fuse. Kit and Mr. Sprinkle high-tail it out of the cave, making it to the cave opening just as the explosion strikes, throwing them clear of the cave.
Ears ringing and aching all over, Kit slowly gets up to review the damage. Mr. Sprinkle is already up and about, but stumbling a little. Kit giggles a little when Mr. Sprinkle turns around, for the explosion has singed the hair off his butt. As she stands, she’s startled by a cool breeze and realizes her pants have been burned, exposing her butt as well!
Muffled screams are heard from a man running up to them. He doesn’t seem worried, so much as angry, about what has just transpired. The ringing in Kit’s ears make it difficult for her to understand, but his anger is more apparent now that he’s closer.
“What the… are you doing? Oh, my gah- I can’t believe this! Why would you do this? What is wrong with you?” the man muffle-screamed. He runs up to the cave mouth, cursing and flailing his arms all the while. Kit and Mr. Sprinkle decide to use this distraction to escape with their naked butts exposed all the while.
Adventurers! Kit and Mr. Sprinkle’s latest exploits have left them with an injured “pride”. Send in 5 cloth for bandages (some aloe wouldn’t hurt either) to help them recuperate. Send the items to “Kit the Traveler” or “Pixie.5940”.
