You wake up in a room that might seem familiar.

Or, maybe not. Either way, this isn't the story you'd like to create, anyway? What is that story?

[YOU ARE CONFUSING]

Okay? I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I'll take your word for it.

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

...did they not tell you anything?

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

Rook told me a lot, but I did just get here yesterday. And I can't blame him for maybe leaving a few things out.

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

I'm a cat, and I can give you quests for items.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

[the fox shadow snorts]

. . .

Liiike, "go fetch me the Sacred Sword of Gamorrah" kind of quests?

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

There's that. I could also ask you to pick flowers or kiss someone or something, iunno. I'm flexible.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

Picking flowers doesn't seem like much of a quest.

[says the fox]

Yeah, that seems more like an. . . errand.

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

I could make it sound special and important if you're that picky about it.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

[curious, now]

How would you do that?

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

[She puts a hand over her face, covering her eyepatch and staring out between her fore and middle fingers.]

These fell blooms which do the earth and spread their memory-stealing pollen through the air are a blight. I require you to slay thirty of these foul beasts, and bring to me their heads as proof of the deed's being done.

. . .

[the fox and the woman both burst out laughing at the exact same time. how eerie!!]

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

You asked. I delivered.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

Mmm, that almost sounds even more ridiculous than the quest of picking flowers itself. But it is what it is, yes?

Sure, sure. But I'll keep that in mind the next time I need toothpaste or something.

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

Yep.

I can also provide cute clothes, trinkets, wrapping paper, and most any questionably useful item you could need.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

Like a spork?

[she did say questionably useful]

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

Surprisingly, yes.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

Surprisingly, I'm not surprised. Where do you even get the stuff you hand out?

Hammer space.

[. . . the shadow fox opens its jaws in a bored yawn]

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

Magic closet, actually. But yeah, basically hammerspace.

Re: ROUND 1

[nowyouseeit]

[stares at her fox-shaped shadow]

How'd you know that.

I didn't. I was being sarcastic.

And apparently "correct" at the exact same time. Yeesh. . .

Re: ROUND 1

[femmefailtale]

It's amazing how often the smartass answer is close to the right one, around here.
