the chance that one will drop a Pink tail is 1/64?
I've always wondered-- is it 1/64 period, or 1/64 if they drop something? If it's the latter, please lie to me.

you can also win the Imp Summon from Tricksters in the same room as Pink Puffs! You may come out with something.
Ooh, thanks, I didn't know that. I only fight those things when I need to use Rydia's Asura to heal (to conserve Rosa's magic, because I have a limited number of cabins and Rydia can psych those imps afterward). I guess I'll try fighting them more. May as well.

I'm keeping myself entertained by reading while I walk around, and keeping the screen just enough in the corner of my eye that I notice when I go into battle. Right now I'm in the middle of Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms . So, it isn't completely mindless.
