i dunno, for having such a doggone depressing name...
death city isn't that bad!
except for the whole sandstorm and death and doom and gloom sorta thing.
i mean, i KNOW we have to go back soon, but...
while i'm here, i just start thinkin' real hard about the deep questions.
like if you eat your own booger...
where does it go?
i just don't know.
i don't think anybody can ever really know.
but i can really see myself settling down here and growing five mustaches and opening up a joke shop or somethin'.

not in this world! back home we had a lotta monsters like that attacked people.

[zoosmell]

oh!
i'm still glad i'm not a vegetarian, though.
it's a lot of leafy stuff.
so i guess you're pretty handy here, huh...
you're used to fighting trees and stuff!
and witches are like the same thing.
as trees.

[portalist]

i couldnt imagine being one. meat is too good!
we didnt just have angry trees in my world! we had giant gerbils and demons and dragons too yknow. ive had a lot of experience as an adventurer.

[zoosmell]

wow...
in my world, we had gerbils that might get lost and then you're always afraid you might step on them.
but i guess that's not really the same.
is this really an adventure?
it seems more like a mission.
get the witches, kick some ass, and then go back home.

[portalist]

i like to think of it as an adventure!
after all weve been taken a new world to save it!
that sounds like a heros job!

[zoosmell]

oh, wow!
i'm a hero too, kinda!
except i was really in the middle of my adventure when they took us here, but that's ok.
with your experience of giant gerbils, those witches will be toast in no time!
they will be so toast, it will be like breakfast all over again!
except no eggs.
you've already beaten a bunch already, right?

[portalist]

really? thats cool! we can form a hero duo then! :D
it was the same for me too. but its not a big deal! i heard some people say that time stops in our worlds while we are here. and yeah! those witches will be so toast they theyll be burnt! gritty burnt toast!

um...
im going to get around to it! but i havent found a partner yet.

[zoosmell]

oh, really?
i guess that's not bad...
but i hope i paused my game, or it's going to be really messy when i go back.
anyway, it seems like a really common problemmajig.
i would have thought for a city that runs on these partnermajigs, they'd at least have a better system!
maybe you should put up a wanted ad?

[portalist]

i think brew will pause it for you! if it can pause a worlds time, why not a games?
thats a great idea actually! most people just show up at practice and hope for the best. a city-wide ad would probably help everyone out!

[zoosmell]

i'm just hoping not a lot of people will like long walks on the beach...
but yeah!
d'you know what you're looking for in a weapon or meister or whatever?

[portalist]

someone who likes adventuring too! and funny and honorable as well. im mostly looking for someone who trusts me. thats all i need. ill probably wind up partnering with a friend but thats no surprise.

[zoosmell]

you should remember to put NOT AN ASSHOLE.
you don't want to get an asshole as a partner.
unless they're your asshole friend, then i guess it's ok...
if you were looking for a weapon, maybe you should put what form you wanted them, too.
unless that really doesn't matter...
i have not been here very long.

[portalist]

a lot of people act like jerks, but theyre not that bad when you get to know them! the ones that arent villains i mean.
oh! i havent thought about that. ive only fought with my hands actually. ive never held a weapon of any sort so ill probably have to learn...
and youll get used to how things work pretty quickly! it didnt take me long to settle in. shibusen is very helpful!!

[zoosmell]

i think so too...
about the assholes, i mean.
i used to have a hammer!
if you ever find a hammer weapon for a friend, i'll teach you all about whoppin' them gophers.
except it's really one move.
just up and down.
but i'm sure it takes technique!

[portalist]

thatd be super! and in return i could teach you some tricks i know!

[zoosmell]

do you mean fighting with your hands and stuff?
jeez, that would be nice...
i don't have a weapon, either, so i need to fight witches in the meantime with only my mangrit.
and i am not sure how much grit of man i have...

[portalist]

yup! its like kung-fu, just like the pandawas.
mangrit? whats that??

[zoosmell]

like strength and stuff?
i guess if you're an adventurer, you'd have that sorta stuff, too.
you should probably check your bar.
have you ever tried kungfuing a witch, though?
i mean, you might be as fast as lightning...
but i heard it's not really that impactful.
even if it's a little bit frightening.

[portalist]

arent bars for drinking, not fighting?
i havent yet. but when i meet my first witch thats what ill be trying. i bet itd be super effective if i had a glove weapon.

[zoosmell]

then you should look for a glove weapon!
and put it on your ad and stuff, which is a thing i think you should totally do.
because i really need a weapon, too...
except i don't even know your name, so that's a bummer.

[portalist]

we could put both our ads out!! im sure youll find a weapon soon :)

well, im yugo. there, its not a bummer anymore!
