Alessi
D-rank
Alessi was sitting on a bench and carefully reading over her mission. She was to go save a cat that was in a tree. Simple enough, but it might not be as easy. Reason for that is probably because the cat's attitude might be a little angry or frightened. She had all day to get to it, but getting it done right away and making room for another mission would give her peace of mind. Wrapping the scroll back up in the exact way she had received it, Alessi stood up and grinned. With a cheery tone, she stated a single sentence to herself to gain a bit of confidence. "I'll get this done and be one step closer to getting where I want to be." With that being said, she tucked the scroll away and stood up off the bench. Being fully prepared to take the mission, she walked off towards the where the scroll had directed her.
Arriving at the correct destination, she looked up, and what do you know, the cat is holding on for dear life. The branch it was clinging to was rather large and looked as if it could sustain her weight when she got on there. Her mind started to race with ideas of how to get the cat down. Throwing something at it or doing anything that might cause it harm definitely wasn't an option. Climbing up was something that might work. Luring it down might work also, but that would involve her having to leave and buy a fish or some type of cat food. By the time she would leave, the cat might move and be even higher in the tree. So maybe the luring idea wasn't too good. After a few minutes of thinking, she decided on only one action that would work would be to climb up and retrieve the cat by hand. Cracking her knuckles, she went over to the base of the tree and looked up. It was at that point she realized the tree was a bit taller than she originally thought it was. Just from the look of it, it seemed to be about twenty to twenty five foot tree. With a sigh, she grabbed on to the nearest branch and hoisted herself up. Each time she grabbed one, Alessi shook it a little to see if it was sturdy enough to hold her.
Slowly but surely, she climbed up. When she reached about halfway up the tree, she looked up and saw the cat staring right back at her with fear in it's eyes. The little thing was scared. Alessi shook her head and continued on. Reaching the large branch that the feline was clinging on, she pulled herself on the branch and sat down. With one big exhale, she held her hand out for the kitten to come over to, but it was too frightened to move even a single inch. "Come on... It's alright." Alessi whispered as she reached to pick the kitten up. Closing her eyes, she waited until she could feel the hairs of the cat. With one quick motion, Alessi pulled the kitten right over to her. The cat gripped onto her shirt and started to shake slightly. "Alright... Now to get down..."
Once down on the ground, she walked off the the now calm kitten. She found the address of the old woman who brought the problem forward and gratefully handed the cat over. The old woman smiled and thanked her for doing this mission for her and simply turned around to do whatever she was doing before. Mission Accomplished.
