You consider dropping a ticket to the Water Shrine. You handle the wild Aqua Boogies well enough alone—it's working with others that needs improvement.
You search your INVENTORY for the right pass—
"Ayyy~"
A small girl warps into the lobby on a rearing Ostrasaur. It's Mistic! Her red hair jogs your memory, being bright and wild as the flames that obliterated your party.
You dive out of harm's way as she walks the Ostrasaur across the room.
"Glad you're still here." You've barely spent a second on your feet before she dismounts and marches up to you. "I picked up one of the partner quests from the latest expansion. Wanna come with?"
"Um." You barely know this person. "You sure about this? I just immolated my former colleagues by falling on a trap switch. You were there. You, uh, died."
"I know. That's why I picked you!"
You lift an eyebrow. "Because I burnt us all alive?"
"Because nobody else would wanna work with you, duh. I'm 99.9% sure you're free right now. All my competent friends are busy."
"Flattered," you mutter.
"Come onnnn, Jitters." That's a terrible nickname! She ignores your appalled expression and browses her INVENTORY, plucking items from the grid and dropping them at your feet. "You can have... two TANNING BUTTERs, a SCROLL OF UNSTOPPABILITY, and this old WIZARD QUEST TOKEN."
A bottle of TANNING BUTTER rolls toward you, and you nudge it back in Mistic's direction with your boot.
"These are totally worthless."
Mistic folds her arms and stares up at you. "Well, what are you doing what's so important?"
"Actually, I was gonna hunt for Aqua Boog—"
"Lame! Go questing with me instead."
Well. Mistic's certainly strong of character, which is a kinder way of saying 'bizarre and obnoxious'.
How do you respond?
