Scene: Chapter 2

---

Location: Mushroom Rock Road

There was a man by one of the hovers on the M.R.R. who actually had a clue about a Syndicate Uniform!
I thought that was rather lucky. Oh, but you wouldn't believe how Yaibal was when he greeted us. Very energetic; so much so that I couldn't get one word in! Well, he was useful. He provided us with an escort that kept the fiends from bothering us as long as we stuck to them.

As we were travelling, we got wind of some sphere waves down that lower path from before. North of the save sphere we made it back to that impossible door and who would you think we met?! You'd never guess! It was Nooj and he gave us the Crimson Sphere 7.

Paine seemed to have a history with him, but she wouldn't tell us. Rikku tried very hard to get her to. I am definitely glad I kept my mouth shut while Rikku antagonized Paine and lost respect points (whatever those are).

When we returned to the regular road, there were a lot of Drowsy Ochu's laying about. Now, if I had just walked past them we wouldn't have had to fight them, but where was the fun in that?

Two lifts later, we all talked with Elma and Lucil. Rumors certainly spread quickly, don't they?

That was pretty much it for our MRR excursion today. Tchao!
