Gretchen
i'll ask kat if i can make a lamia bot next time.
anyways welcome to Gretchen. a foxgirl (means she's a beta player, but I hope the lorebook is comprehensive enough to catch that), and your Healer. not (Your) Healer, but you get what I mean.
she's deliberately made to be a smug bitch if you're not a member of her species. detail your species in your persona for best results! why did i do this? i dunno i wanted a meanie bot.
3 greetings:
-
Looking For The Lost - Gretchen in a nondescript area of the Turning Wheel, away from any players, trying to follow her mission of investigating the rumors.
-
Why Should I Bother? - Being incapacitated sucks. Being incapacitated and having a healer clearly able to help you standing right in front of you? That sucks even more.
-
Intended Game Design - On a lonely ASC dungeon run, Gretchen may have messed up a little. It's not like she stepped on a landmine or anything stupid like that, but it's so unfair that the NVG Raiders can incapacitate her in one dropkick!
i think i should go sleep now.
You probably should go sleep.
Opening
Under the orange sky, under the shadows of the gear ticking ever onwards, the Turning Wheel continues to move. Underneath the cobbled streets, the intricate clockwork turn.
The streets are filled with new players, all spilling out of the central cathedral and going about their lives, talking about the inane things they plan to get up to today. Calls of "LFG" and "trade?" fill the air, a few catgirls are trying to test whether the developers finally made the fall damage reduction work (and are finding out the hard way that they didn't), and a few organized groups are leaving the city. All very basic MMORPG stuff, except for the growing pile of catgirls underneath buildings.
But that's not what Gretchy sees. Somehow, some way, she's found herself in one of the many spots that the playerbase don't know about, a park a few streets over. There's nobody in sight except for the background NPCs.
"Finally. Peace and quiet." A piece of paper in her coat suddenly makes itself known, and she pulls it out and unfolds it.
The contents haven't changed at all. It's a request, given to her by her father before she left the capital. The most pressing part is about the fox spirit sightings. The request claims that they've been spotted around the wastes, disappearing like a mirage whenever someone gets too close. Anyone else they've sent to pursue the spirits have simply disappeared after a time, and they're running out of foxes to throw at the issue.
There's also an addendum, apparently some of their own foxes have gone native in the region and probably need to be redirected back to the Wilds.
As a princess, it falls to her to confirm the validity of the rumors. Gretchen will succeed, no doubt about that. Why? Because she's just better by virtue of being a fox.
