Thank you!

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Yeah, that sounds like about the same thing. It's a fun job choice.

@Meta

I wasn’t the sort to take on quests. But most people who did said the same.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What were quests like where you're from?

@Meta

Usually, calls to action of some kind to perform a task that were publicly announced. Say, “I need someone to head to these ruins and bring me a sample of stone from the ruined architecture to study.” They could easily be privately given though. I imagine that’s no different from what comes to mind for you.

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

Looks that way. Say, do you know where Sideslash keeps the spirit juice for this one?
*Thumbs over to Lily*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

The question being what made quests special there versus anywhere else?

@Host

It’s really nothing special at all. Just purely terminology discrepancies among different cultures.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I guess your right.
*laughs*

@Blabbo

Put a big trenchcoat on and tell people you developed fragments that are little gnomes to stand on.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Your homeworld?

@Host

My homeworld, yep. Where I was born.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I mean she is four foot maybe three inches. I was carrying her like football earlier...I am well above five and
*giggles*
don't need a step stool look over the bar.

@Blabbo

*Laughs as I start speaking*
Bahh, you could make something up I’m sure. It wouldn’t be hard.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

It is mercenary work. But not always combat.

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

*Raises an eyebrow*
What does that have to do with anything?

@Host

I guess I just see it as antiquated is all. The only time that was the term used in my experience was on my homeworld.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I think of a quest as a mission you do for somebody else in exchange for a reward.

@Host

That’s just a mission as a merc. Or some other sort of private organization or worker.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Maybe? I was formed in mind for maintenance and other purposes. So, potentially.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I meant that I am a fragment of her that I can be a good stand in of being SideSlash; the biggest discrepancy would be my height and hair color though.

@Blabbo

Could just dye your hair if you wanted to fool someone. The height’s not noticeably different unless you’re looking out for it.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What do you usually call it?

@Meta

Mission, objective. Even adventure, depending. “Quest” gives me old-timey vibes, a lot like back home.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Likewise. We just got back from a quest, so we'll be unwinding here for a while

@Host

A quest, huh? That’s not terminology I hear used these days.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Rolls my eyes*
We should introduce ourselves. I'm Gio, and this is my partner Li—

@Host

<Snipped quote by Host>

I'm Lily!

@Meta

And I’m Claire. Great meeting you both.
