Help Wanted

Conversation
Koharu: Open the menu to change gear... All done! How about you Kinanit? I can wait if you're not.

Koharu: Our stats have gotten better, but... They're just members. It doesn't really feel like we've gotten stronger. I still feel helpless...

Me: Let's fight some stronger monsters and see.

Koharu: I guess that's the only way, huh... But if our HP drops to zero, we'll.... really die...

Me:We'll never make it out if we don't get stronger.

Koharu:I know. I know, but... I'm still scared...

Me:I'll protect you.

Koharu: Thanks... You're better than any armor, Kinanit.

Koharu:We'll never get anywhere just sitting around, huh. Now that we've got the hang of batting, maybe we can head out a bit further.

Ulrik and Miyurin: Hold it right there! You two! With gear like that, you must be quite a warriors!

Koharu:Oh, uhh... do you need something?

Miyurin:Yeah I uhh... Ahem! I'm Miyurin. Just your regular ol'town dweller.

Ulrik: And I'm Ulrik. Me'n him are partners, I guess. Nice to meet ya.

Ulrik:Truth is, I got a little something to ask. Think you cold maybe, you know, help us out a tad with a little quest?

Miyurin:It's just a quest to deliver a letter of an NPC, but it keeps sending us here there and everywhere. A real pain in the butt fetch quest.

Miyurin:It doesn't even offer that great of a payout either, so almost everyone has skipped it.

Ulrik:But once we pass a certain threshold we'll unlock another quest and THAT will give us some better rewards.

Miyurin:The quest itself is a piece of cake. Just picking up drops.

Miyurin:The problem is WHERE the drops come from. The first place is Origin Plains, place we can easily handle.

Ulrik:But the other item, it only drops in Quest Plains.

Miyutin:We can't go there! We'd be toast with this paper-thin armor!

Ulrik:That's why we've been hanging around asking players with better gear.

Miyurin:No one seems to be interested, though...

Miyurin:"The quests in this town are for wimgs! You wanna level up? Go hunt monsters, and move on to the next town to better rewards, punks!"

Miyurin:Some of them even flipped out on us. So we're not really keen on asking super strong looking people anymore.

Ulrik:Anyone whose ever played a game knows grinding monster battles is best to level. But here, we're talking real life and death...

Miyurin:What gonna happen to us now that we're trapped inside this game? How long are we really gonna last?

Miyurin:Oh,uh... Sorry about that. Putting a damper on the mood and all.

Ulrik:Sitting around dwelling ain't gonna change anything, so let's just forget about it! We gotta be more upbeat than that!

Ulrik:Is what I wish I could say, but it's kinda hard to get over...

Koharu:I know just how you feel. Somewhere deep down, I know I'm still just waiting for someone to rescue us.

Koharu:But if we just leave it to that, we'll never get anywhere, right?

Miyurin:Yep. No matter how crummy it gets we still gotta make the most of it!

Ulrik:We've all gotta work together! So on that note then... You think you guys might wanna help?

Ulrik:We can all split the rewards. Whaddya say?

Koharu:Kinanit... These two seem like good people. What do you think?

Me:All right then.

Ulrik:Oh thank goodness!

Ulrik:Alright, get me five Wolf Claw from the Dire Wolf out in Quest Plains, would you?

Miyurin:We'll probably be back at the Teleport Gate Plaza before you, so just come look for us there. Good hunting!

Koharu:I know we just kind of happened upon this, but it doesn't seem so bad. At least we have a goal now.

Koharu:It's kind of hard to aim for level 100 straight from the get-go. So having some smaller goals sure helps, I think.

Me:Right there with you.

Koharu:Yeah!

Ulrik:Woah! Thanks! You really saved us!

Miyurin:I'll go grab our rewards. Just wait here!

MiyurinOkie dokie! Here's our lovely little reward! Oh I'm so happy I could burst, Miyurin!

Miyurin:Mi-Chan... No one's gonna fall for that act with that avatar...

Miyurin:Gah, sorry... Okey guys, come reap the rewards of my... Man, it's harder to drop the girly avatar act than I thought.

Miyurin:Anyway! Thanks a bunch! This might sound like an exaggeration, but you guys helped me find some confidence.

Ulrik:You know, I've played a lot of games. And I always thought I was just like the heroes in them! Thought I had it in me.

Ulrik:But I guess I was wrong. Now that it's all so real. I've lost all the fight in me.

Ulrik:I've been just pecking at battles right outside town, running back when I lost HP...

Miyurin:We should have been able to go to Quest Plains ourselves. But the thought of it was so frightening...

Miyurin:You two though, you're something. You could have turned us away, but you went right out there and pulled it off.

Ulrik:We really need to try harder, too. Just... while staying alive.
