[ this time, if you've been in here before, there's no throne in the middle of the room; Jo pops into relative existence, cookies in hand and in mouth. ]

Hello~? Ooh, what's your name?

[wingtamer]

Hello! Uhm, I'm Flame. You're Miss Jo, right?

[vaguelydied]

Nice to meet you, Flame. That's me! Do you want a cookie?

[wingtamer]

Ah. . . thank you, but no thank you. I wanted to ask for a quest—uhm, we're planning a picnic, so I wanted to quest for some food!

[vaguelydied]

Ooh, my favorite quests! What would you like? Tell me how much, and then I'll tell you what you need to do.

[wingtamer]

I would like, [hesitates, what's a good number]


Seven burgers, for each of my teammates. Uhm, if you don't mind.

[vaguelydied]

Hm...

[ considering, tapping her finger against her cheek ]

I'd like you to tell me a story about your team. It can be made up if you want, but it needs to be a good one, with everyone in it. Once you do that, I'll give you your burgers.

[............a story.........]



Uhm. . . . .



In the cavern kingdom of Kyriakos, there was a fearsome dragon overlord named Waldemar. He had a following, the brotherhood of hooded priests, Epona, and they all, uhm. Stole from the rich and gave to the poor and also assassinated evil. Although it is called the brotherhood of hooded priests, in the past there was an attempted coup de'tat—Blade and Coco and Schooler wished for the order to change into the brotherhood of hooded monks, while Mushroom and Flame and Schooler and Wave wished to remain priests. There was great tension for a long time - [takes a moment] - but there was also an implicit desire to coexist. However with miscommunication, shots were fired and the monks and the priests dueled in the ways of the honorable and noble traditional pillow fight. This lasted for three days and three nights!

But then tragedy struck - there was a landslide that covered the cave in which all of the factions lived and the peasants and the shepherds were unable to get food! And there was, uhm. No light. Everyone had problems except for the nobles who had their own light from candles and had their own resources.

So the monks and the priests worked together - the monks with their strength broke the stones and opened the pathway again, and the priests stole food from the nobles and fed the shepherds and peasants in the meantime. Once light wholly covered the cave once more, the monks and the priests decided - seeing the peasants and shepherds living happily again - that it didn't matter what they were, because they still desired to help everyone and that's what they did. So the brotherhood of hooded priests turned into a brotherhood of hooded priests and monks, and everyone lived happily ever after.

[. . . .]


The end.

[ Clapping lightly!! ]

That was really good! Here are your burgers.

[ Producing a bag that is warm, like a takeout bag. ]

And tell whoever's getting them that I hope they're alright, okay? I heard about the game.

[wingtamer]

Thank you!

[taking them, and nods]

. . . mm. Thank you. I'll tell them.
