How about you tell me where this "mushroom forest" place is, and if I happen to find this Fungal Queen lady I just beat the shit outta her for you? Seems to be working quite well so far at least!">"Mm, indeed. Thou does seem unnaturally strong for thine appearence... And I can't find even a trace of magic usage in your aura. In fact, I can't even find your Lvl number, strange...">"Sure sure whatever, just hand me one of your boys that knows the way and I'll get off of your hair.">"One of "my boys", huh? Well, "my boys" appear to be in no condition to help you due to mysterious circumstances, mayhaps they have all collectively caught a cold of some description...?"She sure knows how to switch from "serious" to "smug sarcasm" fast.
>"H-Heyyy Queen... I, uh, hehe, fixed the barrier the intruder broke, hehehe...">"Ah, Anis, thank you...">"N-No problem m'lady... eheheh...">"Oh hey, how about her? Can't she help me?"To be fair, you don't REALLY wanna hang around this girl for too long, she smells like eggs and rotten citrus, you can see the coat of natural oil covering her hair from here, and you're pretty sure she was the one that set her own bow on fire a few minutes ago, but she seems to be the only option you have.
>"Ah, well... Anis can be rather... peculiar...">"I-I-I don't wanna help out a weird looking foreigner a-a-anyways! Bleeh!!"She sticks her tongue out at you.
>"Mm, come to think of it, I've made up my mind. Anis, guide this woman to the Fungal Queen's territory at once.">"Hehe... Don't worry madam, I'll take you there s-safe and sound... heheh... f-f-follow me."Wow, her tone changed real fast! Maybe these weirdos are all just naturally two-faced.
>"O-Oh... t-take this... If you don't w-wear one of these while you're out there... You'll turn into one of Them... ehehe..."Anis hands you a brown bandana... mask... thing. You tie it around your neck and lift it up to your face, it smells like old paint. You never thought you'd miss your air conditioned, lime scented gas mask add on before...
