Osuteno stared blankly at the instructions for his first ever mission. As an Academy Student he knew he should not expect much but... He was looking for some woman's pet rock.... named Roxanne. He had a picture of a poorly drawn face and a ribbon on a circle to work with and a number of city blocks to work through.
Osu closed his eyes and nodded twice before opening them with a look of fierce determination. It did not matter what the mission was, he would make his first mission a success. After all how hard could finding a rock be? And so he started asking around, showing the picture to people and was getting no results. He searched high from the tops of buildings, and he searched low through the gutters. After a few hours he found no sign of the rock in question. As he sat down for some lunch he thought about where he might look next, when he noticed something odd out of the corner of his eye. On top of a nearby house there was an odd bump. Osu squinted his eyes and sure enough it was the rock in question.
"How in the world did it get up there?" Osu questioned. There was no way the rock got up there by itself. But no immediate answer came to the child aside from the fact he should go get the rock and complete his mission. As Osu climbed the house he saw a bird had landed on the rock. As he made his approach he tried to gently shoo the bird away. The bird was surprised enough that it took off rather violently... pushing the rock to where it rolled off the roof and fell into a moving cart down on the street.
Osu hopped down as quickly as he could without risking a bad fall. He chased after the cart through the crowded streets and caught up to it as it was passing a bridge. He yelled and yelled for the cart driver to stop and finally got the man's attention. Osu was relieved that this silly chase was at an end. The cart driver kindly came down from his seat to help Osu look for the missing item. That was when Osu spotted the bird from earlier sitting on the rock which was at the very top of the goods pile. As Osu slowly climbed the goods, being careful not to break anything, he bird suddenly shot off again causing the rock to begin rolling. It somehow bounced of some boxes and went right over the side of the bridge. Osu jumped after it only to see the rock had landed in a passing boat whereas Osu landed straight into the river.
Osu was many things. He was kind, polite, understanding and compassionate. However in this moment he felt something he had only felt a couple times in his life, annoyed. He started swimming after the boat and caught up rather quickly. As he made his approach he saw that bird again. "NOT AGAIN!!! he yelled blasting the Pressurized Mist between the bird and the boat. Osu shifted onto his back performing an oar stroke and went underwater. With his face aiming behind him, Osu let out another Pressurized Mist to propel himself past the boat. Osu shot out of the water and landed on the boat standing between the rock and the bird (with a confused boatman watching nearby). At first the bird kept on its path but stopped once it met Osu's terrifying bloodshot eyes. His face was as expressionless as ever but his eyes held the promise of an early demise. The bird made a swift u-turn and flew off.
Sighing, Osu turned around and picked up the troublesome rock. "Come on Roxanne, let's get you home." With that he hoped to shore dripping wet and went to report his mission's success.
