[HOMEWORK] the muse a asks the muse b for help with their latest load of homework.
[DUEL] it’s time to d-d-d-duel! it’s tournament day in the training hall, and how better to get it started than to rope in some unsuspecting spectators? muse a has to take on muse b in a spar!
[EXPERIMENT] to get more students engaged, reason professors have started to take more… creative choices in their classes. muse a has to test out an experimental spell on muse b!
[GREENHOUSE] muse a and muse b are tasked with tending to the greenhouse’s newest sprouts, as well as seeding some barren fertile patches of soil. careful, these seeds look foreign and hard to come by…
[SHOPPING] there’s a huge sale at the marketplace! muse a and muse b head down to the shopping district to take advantage of those sales while they last.
[FISHING] the sudden appearance of strange, glittering fish in the pond draws newfound attention to the area. it’s a saint cethleann miracle!, people say. curious, the church asks that muse a and muse b catch some for further inspection...
[HARMONY] it’s that time of the week again— choir practise! muse b must discuss their melody and harmony with muse a. look for those dulcet tones~ 🎶
[DUTY] there’s been news of a recent bandit invasion in a village near the airmid river. muse a and muse b have been sent on a task to dispatch them, accompanied by a few knights. make quick work of them, and return the villagers to safety.
[WAKE] muse a falls asleep in a place they shouldn’t be sleeping, and muse b wakes them up.
[STARS] the skies have been delightfully clear as of late, free to allow starlight from far beyond to shine down upon fódlan. muse a invites muse b to stargaze with them.
[LIBRARY] there has been an influx of new books in the library following a wave of new authors getting their works published, and the library staff have been overwhelmed trying to shelve everything. muse a and muse b are tasked with helping organise all of the library’s newest additions… as well as filter out any books that might face seteth’s critical inspection.
[SLIP] oops! while overestimating himself, one of the cooks spills some broth he’d been carrying behind the monastery’s mess hall. unfortunately, muse a is right in his path— they slip and fall, and it is up to muse b, a witnessing bystander, to help them!
[PATROL] it is peacetime, and the conditions are perfect for the students to learn some survival skills. the church requests that muse a and muse b take the overnight patrol around the monastery. try not to run into any ghosts, now…
[PARENTING] the faith professors are looking to test your compassion towards other living beings— truly getting to know your field, as it were. muse a and muse b have to take care of a small domestic animal for a week, and you best ensure that it has the best childhood that you, its new parents, can offer.
[STATUE] a priest of the church has been working non-stop lately as an influx of pilgrims make their journey to garreg mach. unfortunately, the tasks keep piling up, and he’s burnt out. spying muse a in the room, he tiredly asks you to clean the saints’ statues in his stead— and bring muse b along with you!
[FLIGHT] it’s time for flight patrols around the monastery again, and muse a and muse b have been paired up together for the job.
[DISCIPLINE] the venue of your last lesson has been unknowingly moved, and you spend far more time searching before you finally find it. alas, you’re late for class, and the professor isn’t too forgiving about it. muse a and muse b have to drop down and do 50 push-ups.
[CHASE] there’s a young boy under the church’s care that’s been getting into increasing amounts of trouble lately, and the church caretaker has had enough. but just as you see him get dragged by the ear for another lecture… he slips out and makes a run for it! he’ll not endure her tyranny any longer! tobias is a free child!!! enraged, the caretaker shouts at muse a and muse b to give chase— and bring that boy to justice!
[KITCHEN] students have been spending more time exerting themselves outside as of late, and the mess hall has often needed to compensate with larger amounts of food as a result. to alleviate their burdens, the church has mandated that some students help out with the cooking. muse a and the muse b are on kitchen duty! luckily, it only entails simple ingredient preparations… mostly.
[MEALTIME] muse a and muse b have a meal in the monastery’s mess hall.
[DANCE] the ethereal ball is still months away, yet some professors have expressed great concern for some of the students’ atrocious lack of an aptitude for dance. they’ve started requiring some extra dance lessons, and muse a and muse b have been paired up to practise. careful with those toes…
[ROCK] there are some old, decrepit chapels scattered about the monastery town that need to be cleaned up. the church sends muse a and muse b to clear the rubble. but be careful, the infrastructure doesn’t look too stable around these parts… watch your head for any stray debris from above!
[DARE] some magicians from morfis have had a little influence on the inhabitants of garreg mach, it seems, and some harmless and minor— largely temporary— transfigurations on the animals around the monastery have begun to take place in its wake. a poor nun’s kitten has fallen victim to it, and has supposedly been turned into a frog. unfortunately, they’ve captured a few other suspects, and accidentally grouped them all together. but there is one way to break this spell, of course— aside from simply waiting it out— you’ll need to kiss a frog! the right frog, that is, and muse a dares muse b to do it.
