<span class="mu-g">Holding the eerily-glowing LEAF in your hand like the key to a rabid gorilla’s cage, you bite your lip before daring to ask a quick question of your mysterious business partner:
Geez, you mutter as you idly scratch the back of your head, you’re uh… you’ve got a lot going on right now… a LOT…
“... Then why not cross an item off the ole’ TO-DO LIST and USE THAT LEAF?” Shannon replies with a wry grin. “Surely you can’t be having second thoughts after all the other jobs you’ve performed for us… and so admirably, too!”
Yea, well, you giggle with a tinge of nervousness, any chance you could, like… get back to her a little later? Rain check?
For a second the fairy stares at you like a cat about to pounce on a mouse. By the time you’re done blinking, however, Shannon is all-smiles again!
“‘Course, love, what kind of organization would we be if we didn’t work around our employee’s schedules?”
You can’t help but frown at her pronunciation of the word ‘schedule’, but you leave it for now.
“Naturally we can see that you’re busy, so please… take all the time you’d like!” Placing an unnaturally cold hand on your shoulder, the fairy flicks the green bangs out of her face before staring you directly in the eye once more. “Just place that old leaf of yours on the console for us and we’ll track you down later… we always do!” Giving you a friendly wink, the fairy gently pushes you in the direction of the TOTEM.
Okay, buuuuut, you interrupt, earning an impatient eye roll from your ‘boss’, you’d like a few more details first, if she doesn’t mind.
“What more needs to be said, kitten?” Shannon purrs as she raises her eyebrow. “The LEAF goes on the CONSOLE, you get the JOB, WE get the TOTEM–you’re acting VERY obstinate for someone who didn’t bat an eyelash at the last few jobs we gave you…” The fairy suspiciously eyes you up and down. “But it’s only natural, of course–you humans are SO so curious…”
Shannon finishes her sentence with a knowing grin. “And you know what they say about curiosity and cats… but where are our manners? We’ve waited quite a while for this moment–what’s a few more, hm?”
Taking a seat on the edge of the console, the fairy stretches her wings a little bit as she crosses one leg over another. “Shoot, kitten.”
[YOU PROBABLY CAN ASK UP TO THREE QUESTIONS BEFORE BUGGING HER…]
