Welcome to Starborn Quest. You are Purps.

Apparently you're a rarity in this world; a Starborn able to fight but unaligned in the ongoing struggle between The Republic and The Rebels. Which, while it's nice to be special is a bit of a drag considering you don't know your name, home, date of birth or have any memories at all besides one about climbing a tree.

You've also realzied you're emotionally crippled. Having only a few emotions available to you is a bit taxing. Despite your weirdness you've agreed to be a bodyguard for some old man who was getting attacked by Rebels in exchange for food and cigarettes.

Now you've successfully went undercover and worked out who mugged your boss after some good old fashioned violence. You and your friend Honamurei have neded up in her house, since you can't do anything until the morning.

You shed your disguise as quick as you can, while Honamurei undyes her hair and reduces her breasts and height. You have about 10 minutes before you're allowed to look in her general direction without being a pervert.

As you wander around the hallway you can't help but wonder, "Where do I sleep?" You hear the jingling of glass again and instinctively glance over to Honamurei. You find that she's applying the same potion that coloured her hair to her... other hair. Wow that's commitment to a gimmick. You look away to save her some embarressment as you slip back into your travelling clothes.

You can dress up as Anna later assuming you find some hair dye potion.

Hona leans her head out the door. "You can eiver share my bed or sleep on couch! Vhichever you prefer Purps!"
You shrug as you try to find something interesting in the empty house. You could go rooting in drawers but that's rude even by your standards, so you;

You took a seat on the couch and withdrew what was once your disguise rag. It now distinctly did not have any trace of poison, magic or anything dangerous. Gretchen said so. It was now just a rag, one which you would use to clean up your companion.

You ran it over the flat first, getting the worst bits back splatter you could. It was surprisingly easy to bait him into letting you set that maneuver up, you muse. You begin making little circular motions as you begin to lose yourself to the routine.

Your thoughts drift to;

As you tenderly trail the rag over the blades of your buzzsaw, you think about being a Starborn. You're not 100% sure the differences between you and others, you know that you shouldn't be as fast as you are. Even though Hona could keep up with you in a fight, you suspect it's due to her being descended from these badasses everyone fears.

The way you took down what was a strong guy like Gregory, the things you can do... you're a world apart from your average human or any other normal sapient. Are you human? Is being a starborn different from all that. Wizards and witches get ridiculously powerful, so it isn't just your strength setting you apart.

It's now you realize that the Republic has stood for over 400 years. That nobody has mentioned the Senator being the second or the third Senator. He's apparently ruled all that time. Are Starborn immortal? Are you some kind of ancient amnesiac? Are you-

"I think it's clean now Purps!" Hona chirps, blonde and only slightly taller than you once more. She grins before launching a pillow at your head. "Whatcha thinking about?!"

You follow her into her bedroom, trying to do your best to be accomodating. You know she is lonely and she's done everything she can for you. This doesn't seem to be seduciton, you think you would know if it was. Would you? Yes. She's wearing clothes. She's definently not seducing you. Even as she pulls back under the covers.

"Big spoon or little spoon Purps!" She calls teasingly over her shoulder.

You are smaller. Logically you are the smaller spoon. You say as much in about as enthusiastic a tone. She smiles as she makes herself comfortable, inviting you to do the same. You slide into bed with all the smoothness of a Golem in a kitchen. Enough so that Hona even giggles. "Now, now Purps. Keep your hands off the goods!"

Your hands weren't even in the bed yet. You roll over trying to get comfy and become the thing you were detined to be; the small spoon. Hona's arms wrap around you and she buries her face in between your shoulder blades affectionately. You feel like you trust her enough to ask something that's really bothered you.

You notice another buzzsaw appear from thin air next to your companion on the floor by the door.

"Hey Hona. I've been thinking. I have something to ask you..." You manage as you stare at the wall totally awake.

"Anything!" She says in her attempt at an indoor voice.

"Am I scary?" You say, only to feel Hona stiffen against your back. You can't tell, but the tension coming off her might mean that the little bird is actually frowning.

"Well Purps... you're... calm. Calculated. Have trouble expressing yourself. To a lot of people your whole standoffish thing is super scary. But not me!" You see her hands wringing. "But... with that comes a lack of empathy. In combat you are so driven, precise and efficient." A sharp intake of breath. "You're not scary to me. In combat I am a little scared, but you in general? No,, you don't scare me. But I think you scare everyone a little."

There's a long pregnant pause. Your thoughts are corroborated but it doesn't satisfy you being right this time.

"You remind me of my mother in a way. Because sometimes scary is good. Everyone is scared of veapon, but when veapon is your veapon is reassures you. That is the way you are scary Purps. You are a big gun in a world of sharpened sticks." She squeezes you tighter. "But tonight you are my little spoon and that is enough."

You reach up and give her hand a squeeze as you shut your eyes. "Thank you for being honest Hona." You say, noticing how odd your monotone voice sounds in an intimiate setting like a bedroom.

You feel like she was opening her mouth to say something, but she just snuggles into the back of your neck instead. Tension melts off you when Hona's even breathing starts to assault the back of your neck.

If your eyes were open, they would be a sea of crimson filled with detemrination as you resolve to do what you can to stave off Hona's loneliness. You might be emotionally crippled; but you will be the best friend you can be. For now, that means being a great little spoon and trying not to think about how Hona is squeezing you hard in an awkward area.

You drift off to sleep, eyes slowly dropping as the embrace of sleep claims you. It's nice sleeping in a bed and you think you could get used to the warmth of someone behind you. Your last thought is that this might be the first time someone ever held you like this.

You dream.

A city made of grass stretches out before you, the buildings swaying in the wind of an approaching storm. You don't recognise this place, the roads are all wrong; turning back on each other every so often like they were drawn by a toddler. The windows are made of water and the people are nothing but flickering blue outlines. Every so often one seems to solidify, before being blown away in the wind.

You are unarmed. You are holding a very fancy umbrella.

You follow the road for an eternity of seconds and descend upwards to the crest of a hill. There is a rather prominent tree on it and a little circle of fires. The fires emnate cold to the point where you shiver. But the eye catching thing is the tree itself, it stands tall and mighty and each branch has a branch of a differing colour coming off of it.

There are no leaves and the more you stare at the tree the more fog seems to swirl around it and obscure it from your vision. You notice four fruits hanging off it.

As you grab the fruit you see yourself. You look... older.... there's a power about your face. You smile as the you bite into the fruit. Juice runs down your chin and as you take that first bite the tree and the hill vanishes.

In it's place?

You're fighting the midget rebel, gracefully staying out of his range. The vision reaches it finale; you claiming the small man's life without taking a single hit.

To your right another appears, you flying across rooftops. The rooftops fading and reforming in blue fog as your feet grace them.

You at the festival dancing. Hona and the other's replaced by blue shades. You are wrapped in flames even before you ignite your blades. Tornin on the other hand is wrapped in darkness throughout his performance. The visions all loop as you stand there alone.

You winning at cards.

You helping Momo.

You and Marie destroying those rebels.

But there's one you don't remember. It seems out of focus almost, the shades less physical, you look down and notice that you're wearing that frilly dress from your only memory. When you look at the vision you don't remember you are;

Your dress is stained. You feel your right eye close shut from swelling, yet somehow your vision is unimpeded... Someone has slashed you across the stomach. It feels like an arrow is embedded in your side. Burns are running up your arm now...

You watch the vision.

Dark shades, just like tornin was. Surround you. You are trying to sidestep and duck and weave but there's so many of them. Three of the enemies fall to your blade and an axe lodges into your arm. You scream in the present and the vison as your arm is taken off at the elbow.

Something changes in the vision, despite your vision blurring from what you assume is bloodloss from the vision's wounds. Another shade, purple. Large. Charges in from the side, despite fighting against another purple shade. The two of them are nothing more than wisps they move so fast. They are fighitng each other while one of them strikes down your attackers.

One of the purple shades disengages and drops his sword. Instead of surrender instead powerful magic lashes from his hands and strikes vision-you.... both of you fly farther than believable.... you hear a terrifyingly loud crack as you wake up.

The covers are thrown off of the two of you as Honamurei strokes your hair in her sleep. You are sweating profusely and your heart is beating a hundred miles an hour. Eventually you return to your normal state and somehow slither out of the blonde guard's grip, patting yourself down you find a crunched cigarette in your travelling clothes.

Time to cook.

You notice a fluffy white owl peaking at you through the front window as you gather ingredients. Six big eggs, you think they might be Thistletongue eggs, though you cannot remember what that is or how you know.

You crack the eggs, and look at the thing in the kitchen you know is supposed to cook, boil or whatever. Apparently you push certain buttons which activate certain enchantments on certain parts that do certain funcitons involved in cooking.

You have never used one of these before.

You do however know how to cook on open flame. So you could just go behind the house and cook breakfast.

You look at the magic thing and all of it's buttons. This is simple. You put the eggs in one pan and the meat in the other. You can do this. You look at the buttons, grill, broil, fry, boil, sear. This is not simple. Your finger hovers over the buttons, you're uncertain what to do.

You can't do this.

You look at the little owl as it taps on the window. Trying to ignore it you're about to press a button when it starts pecking the window even more frantically. This is a weird owl.

You let the owl in. Noting that it flies straight for the cooker. Before it reaches it you step in front of it. It stops itself in a flailing of wings before it collides with your face.

"Do you know how to cook?" You ask with all the fury of a Ginean inquisitor... again with the expressions you don't understand...

"Hoo."

You honestly don't know what you expected. But it wasn't for the Owl to perch on a seat and peck one of the buttons. The machine emits a steady glow of green as the kitchen is filled with the hiss of meat and egg cooking.

The owl turns and blinks at you. You feel like it is being smug.

You stare for a moment at the smug fucing owl before going over and scratching her chin. "good girl." You coo/mutter. She puffs herself up at your praise and when you hit a certain spot she deems you worthy of response.

"Hoo."

Yes quite.

You sucessfully cook 2-4 servings of what you think is cockatrice bacon and Fried thistletongue eggs. Totally on your own with no help from what appears to be the smuggest fucking sentient owl on Munis.

Wait, are sentient/sapient owls a thing?

You ponder this as you see Hona drag herself into a chair at the small dining table. The usually chipper blonde paints a different picture in the morning. Her hair is covering most of her face and her only communication is in gestures and grunts.

Smug fuck perches on your shoulder like she wants some of the credit as you serve breakfast.

You think two grunts is thank you.

You begin tucking in to your breakfast and feeding Smug Fuck some of your bacon. Today's going to be a good day. When you're almost done the meal you;

As you are feeding Smug Fuck one of the strips of bacon you notice a little note on her leg. Using your great powers of distracting an animal with food, you unravel the note in your other hand and take a quick read.

Hello Purple haired woman. I would just like to thank you for helping my guard shut down those criminals mugging people. I sent Frieda here to find you. Please treat her well, I'll know if you don't because I see through her! By the fire whoever this is actually doddle a winking owlman. Weirdo.

"You're still a smug fuck." You say to the owl, who will always be Smug Fuck regardless of her name being Frieda.

"Hmm?" Hona says in what is the most coherent she has been all morning.

"Oh this owl is a spy. Apparently it belongs to the Mayor of this town. Does a certain Matthieu Remy mean anything?" You ask.

"Oh yeah!" She's trying to be chipper. Is she hungover or just really not a morning person. "He's the mayor. Good guy! He's managed to keep us out of this rebel thing; so what did he say?"

You run down the letter.

"Nice! You might be able to wrangle somewhere to live!" Hona begins to chirp on.

You think you'd like that... but you promised Lex...

"So when do we get Lex?" You ask as you pet Smug Fuck.

"Once I start work in three hours! So we have some time to do nothing! She smiles as she goes to prcure juice from the coldbox. As much as her house lacks any painting or creature comforts you got to admit her kitchen is ridiculously well put together. All this enchanted stuff must've cost a fortune, unless Gretchen and Muriel have that talent... she did say they were close.

"Hoo."

"Oh yeah, think I can keep Smug Fuck here?" You ask as she guzzles down juice like a mermaid in a dessert.

She exhales in satisfaction. That must have quenched a massive first "Nah if it's one of the mayor's spies - then probably a familiar or part of his enigma or something! But we can get you a pet at the market if you'd like! You have 82,000GP to collect after all!"

Oh yeah. You forgot about that.

"Only 2k is mine. But what would you like to do until you start work?" You ask.

"We are going shopping."

"We're going shopping?" You parrot.

"Hoo."

"We are." You tell Smug Fuck

"Yes we are!" Hona cheers as she begins packing up the aftermath of a breakfast.

If it was possible for an owl to pout you think it would.

You ask Hona if you can go out and find clothes. She kind of humms and haws but relents when you remind her that you need something that isn't just travelling clothes.

As tough as they are they're going to need washed soon. So she begins rather despondently leading around the market as countless stalls are being set up. Over to your left a man is unloading cages, But you are lead to your right and over the overhanging bridge that you remember Honamurei standing on when you were incognito with your death-rag hair scarf.

But she takes you to a clothes vendor and you see your options. As you are exmaining them you see three options in your size. Smug Fuck/Frieda hops off your shoulder onto the marchant's shoulder.

"Hoo." he declares smugly.

You retreat behind the curtained box of privacy. Droping your travelling clothes into a neat and precise heap.

The red t shirt is nice and comfortable. The trousers feel like they could take a beating from travel; but you could also envision wearing them in a fight or for a period of time. Finally comes the snazzy black and white jacket.

For 325 gold this is an absolute steal. Not quite the full formal experience, but you weren't exactly looking to have random people kissing your hand...

Coming out in your brand spanking new outfit. You can't help but feel proud. Hona gives out an appreciative low whistle. "Looking good Purps! Are you planning on seeing another voman! eh?"

As you're paying up however. You notice that the marchant hasn't said anything about the ornate box behind him.

He tentavely asks if you're sure you want to see inside it, nobody's ever been interested in it since his father owned the stall.

He spins a lock of the kind you've only seen on bank vaults. Then opens the lid with a grunt of effort hinting that this box might be made of steelwood or even metal. When the box is open he asks you to help in clearing the table. You and honamurei dutifully help, clearing the full table.

He lays out sheets of paper. "Don't worry it'll be evident when I turn them over."

As he turns them over you see the same coat of arms, a variety of sizes. Styles. Some on shoulder patch sized, some for the back of clothing and there's even some designed for banners.

Each coat of arms is the same. A purple shield with two ruby swords flanking a Golden Griffon.

"Now I know they're not any house we know. But I can transfer them onto your clothes for free, it'll take about 5 minutes. Plus I can guarentee no company or guild owns this symbol. Me Uncle travelled looking for a reward but couldn't shift them."

He's sweating. He [b[really[/b] wants to sell these banners.

"Make me an offer."

"Two Gold each. Transfers free."

"No problem. Leave any clothes with me here, I'll transfer and then you can come and pick everything up once you're done shopping."

"Haha looks like you got something special here Purps! Very you!" She slaps you on the back while you consider what to get your new coat of arms on.

Or we could get some equipment of our own (a ppair of daggers, etc.) No need for jewelry with the coats of arms, and I'm against pets atm.

You head back into his little changing curtains. Neatly folding your new outfit and grouping up your travelling clothes. You realize you have to dress like Anna for your next stop.

Fire damnit. Smug Fuck looks at you like you have two heads and Hona just smiles. She looks almost conspirtatorial, but you think it's just her enjoying having a friend to share a secret with.

The tradesman thanks you for your patronage as he epxlains due to the lavender coluring of your travelling clothes he'll fashion white shoulder patches and transfer the emblem onto those. Free of charge of course.

Your new clothes while have a prominent coat of arms on the back and your red t shirt will have a small one embroidered onto a left breast pocket - also free of charge.

This guy seems really indentured to you for taking these off his hands. But now you're going to look like a purple haired student for your next stop...

You light up a cigarette and puff on it happily as Hona grabs some kitchen stuff you don't recognise. It's interesting to watch her from afar. She puts forth that same energy and enthusiasm, yet there's always a fear and suspicion behind the mannered politness of the people she deals with. No doubt that fear is useful for her job; but you know how lonely she is.

Could she truly be happy here?

But something catches your eye. Adding to a vague recollection of your first trip through Grinnsmon. The local craft, is strange. THe craftsmen and women seem to use some kind of magic to create their work. You are keen to try it out.

"I'm going to be at the jewellers." You inform Hona and point at the stall while she is in the extensive examination process of melons. She is really wanting to make sure she gets high quality melons.

"Of course! I'll be right there once I've grabbed some melons!" She grins as she turns away, you feel like Lexington would have some kind of joke to make here.

You head over to a free craftsman and ask about the process.

"Well we cannot price you right away due to the nature of this. What happens is we both help create the product." You must look uncertain because he makes a gesture of reassurement, " no, no listen honest. We're train to use magic to look at your mind - only the surface! We aren't rooting around, we just take your subconcious desires for the jewelary and use that to put us in a kind of trance. In that trance we make your product." He looks proud of himself.

"All you need to do is put your pointer finger on my forehead and allow me to do the same." He grins, you realize that he is very young to be a craftsman. Especially considering the rest of the members of his guild. "Would you like to give it a try? I can't predict what will come out or how much the master will make me charge." He shrugs at that and you now realize how silent you've been.

Smug Fuck jumps onto his craft table and exmaines his crafts before announcing his findings; "Hoo."

Eloquent and helpful as ever.

"Can you get the guildmaster?" You ask

"Master Firefoot! This customer would like to speak with you." The kid leaves and goes to deal with a rather heavy set lady whilst an old fox man comes over. He warmly shakes your hand before speaking;

"Greeting, I am Master Firefoot. I'm the 83rd Grinnsmon Jewels' Guildmaster. How can I help you?" His voice is warm and strong. The experience and confidence he has in his trade comes forward with every word he says.

"I was just doing some window shopping and-" You began before being cut off.

"And the boy was way too forward and made it sound like we read your mind?" He half asked half grumbled. "Look. What we do is establish a physical link by touch. That guides us as we make your craft he dramatises it to feel important - but he is a prodigy. I bet 600gp he'll be the 85th Guildmaster once I'm too old to work the metal." He smiles in nostalgia and you try to mirror his expression.

"Look here's what I do for cusotmers who are unsure." He takes out a sic shooter, takes a bullet form his apron and slides it into the gun."As I'm working, you touch my forehead with one hand and hold that gun. You think I'm in your head, blow my brains out." He says this coldly but he means it. "If that's not enough consideration then I'm sorry I can't help you."

The unflinching resolve and confidence this man has in his craft scares you. When you look into his fierce eyes you feel like you've stared at the expression before. But this man is literally going to let you put a gun to his head if it gets your money. That's ballsy. Terrifying. But ballsy.
