First Quest [Video, towards the end of the first day of QuestBoard]
[A blue Nidoran in a blue bandana smiles gently at you and nods in greeting. You may have met her, you may have not - therefore, she ought to introduce herself before trying an experiment.]
Hello. This is Firoza Istus - you may call me Firoza if you like. I am not good at this sort of communication...but that is going to work to my advantage. I want to share something with everyone.
[The memory that bubbles up is allowed to come freely - it's not nearly as clear or steady as what a Psychic Pokemon would be able to share, but it is intentional, rather than accidental. The image is of a desk, where an attendant lays out thin plates decorated like tiny slides of stained glass, each image unique, and there's a sense of...a task, that goes with each one.]
This is a system we have where I'm from, where people can put in requests for adventurers to do a task, such as protect cargo or slay beasts, or guide travelers to and from places. They are called leves. Similar ones can come in all the time, and like quests are represented by like images. Where I've done much adventuring, in Eorzea, usually they depict sainted individuals of the gods of the realm. In other lands, the system has proved to be very popular, and the images for leves are different - but it is the same concept.
[The memory fades back to the Nidoran, looking contemplative and at peace.]
'Tis reminiscent of that board in town. And...it is welcoming to see. So, I wonder...is there aught similar where you are from? I should like to learn about it, and about all of you in turn.

Of course. The Ironworks even made a wind-up minion in his likeness, he's so cute. In the outfit and everything.

[It should have been her!!]

Did I...say something wrong?

Kinda wish I could meet him...

[A pause.]
Well, mayhap someday, you could come to Eorzea and we could look for him. He's taken to adventuring, but sometimes he'll turn up in a major city for holidays. I'm sure he would be happy to meet you.

[Next to having her own Chocobo and Carbuncle. Speaking of which...]
Anyways... What kinda jobs were you taking on back home?
no subject
[Swords are cool.]
The Vipers of Tural are particularly intriguing...and the Samurai of Kugane and Doma...the Red Mages too, but spellcasting beyond very basic things is beyond my ken. It took some time to understand when to use what I do know in battle, and when not to offer quick healing because it offends your conjurer.
