Aretz, unlike Rafik, is a very good and useful mage, so I don't think you'll be able to just sit back and relax. Although, it depends on the mission. But we'll try to be gentle with you.

At the appointed hour, the southern group heads to the appraiser and hands over the saber. On the way back, they recount the money and stop by Shary's shop, where they purchase a **Scroll of Divine Permission**, which they activate in a safe place. The sky above Saria is pierced by a pillar of crimson light, but the stream of pure energy is visible only to the princess's allies. Moments later, the beam fades as unexpectedly as it appeared. Seconds, minutes, hours pass... *** *** *** An unassuming gentleman with a work briefcase hurries through the deserted streets of the sleeping city, unafraid of ambushes by bandits or the mysterious dark archer. A light, but confident knock is heard at the door. The guest removes a concealing veil and appears before the main characters. He immediately feels a cold, post-mortem breath behind him, and with some difficulty, he makes out the outline of a spectral katana pointed at the back of his head. Before him stands a hunched knight, holding up his tattered trousers with one hand, and a green-eyed maiden, looking dejected and disappointed. —You're from here, Imperial. So, I'm at the right address. With a businesslike air, the gentleman removes his gloves, takes a cigarette from his cloak, and lights it. —Good thing you managed to send a signal. I would have had to search all over the south for you. A faint wisp of smoke rises into the warm air. —I was told that you are led by a confident, tall guard, but I don't see him here, hmm? I understand. You can call me Mr. Problemsolvdt, RSV. Haven't you heard of the abbreviation? That means we're doing a good job. You can just call me Kiven. Well, what's wrong? Tell me.

—I see. —taking a final drag, Mr. Problemsolvdt puts out his cigarette and throws it into a cart passing by on the street. He rummages in his pockets and pulls out a crumpled paper scroll with an imperial seal and hands it to the mercenaries. —Well done, at least you got the eye. Otherwise, not so well. I was instructed to convey that, of the current tasks, yours is one of the easiest, and as it said... ah yes, —he snaps his fingers, —"...the level of incompetence, combined with low social activity and observation skills, given the resources allocated to the mission..." In short, you understand. —But don't get ahead of yourselves. Breathe in, breathe out. This concerns you, spectral one. You'll dissolve now. —taking off his glasses, Problemsolvdt waved his hand through the ethereal shell of the samurai. —Since neither intellect nor strength worked, let's try cunning. That's what I was sent for. Just keep in mind, I solve problems, I don't create new ones. You will continue to command yourselves, as before. This is your last chance from the imperial highness to mess up, otherwise, go straight there, to the bottom. —he waved his hand towards the north sea. —According to my intelligence, you have a tracking task here, let's solve it. Do you have a list of money and equipment? Let's see. Not enough. And what about this? Bones are sticking out of your pants. —he addresses Klin. —Well, we'll fix it. Slowly placing his briefcase on the table, Kiven clicks two locks and opens the lid. First, he takes out a pile of unknown sealed documents, then some tools and work supplies, and then... an unknown girl.

—...no way! —the first words of the stranger are the end of a phrase directed somewhere. After looking around in surprise for a moment, she catches Kiven's eye: —W-where did you bring me? —And this is Yulizushka, you can just call her "Yu". —No! —RSV intern. —They promised me a promotion! —She's completely unremarkable, you won't even notice her presence. Consider her deaf and mute. —I can hear everything! —We are only interested in her talents and the family artifact inherited from her great-grandfather. Ah, he was a worthy RSV member... —Yes, much better than you... —now the girl notices the melted death knight, then the spectral samurai. —A! *****, it's a ghost! Take me back! —All in good time. We'll all go back there. —the intern tries to climb back into the briefcase, but the scout grabs her by the shoulder and turns her to face the main characters. —We need to fix this knight. We need to question everyone again, familiarize ourselves with the case, and report to me in a brief, oral form. —I won't touch that freak, he's all rotten! There's only one normal one left here! —Then we'll throw you in the desert and find another intern. What number will that be... the thirty-second, I think. —What desert?... —the girl looks out the window and gasps in fright. —I'm done for... —Oh, and you'll brief the clients about the briefcase and the lamp. —Mr. Problemsolvdt continues calmly, lighting another cigarette. —Come on, let's get to it. Time is of the essence. (possibly Ples will fix the mistakes if I forgot something)

Good that Heroist decided to make animated shorts – I wouldn’t have been able to come up with such a colorful pair. 😁

I'm curious, what would happen if all the characters rushed to different cities and states using different types of transport?

Would Revane have to come up with something on the fly for each location, or spontaneously invent a reason why no one could actually reach their destination?

I'm now curious, what would happen if all the heroes rushed to different cities and states using different types of transport?

Would Revan have to urgently do something for each location, or spontaneously come up with a reason why no one could actually reach their destination?

Catch that tester!

Heroist, what a great duo! Now I'm rooting for you twice as much. And I want you back in Margel twice as strongly, to take your suitcase-TARDIS from you!

Now I understand Nisha's gesture with the crown. Her mother immediately put her out in the cold as soon as she could, and Nisha was hurt by this, and she wants to be loved as much as her older sister. I never realized how tragic her whole story is...

H-How did you figure that out?....

Suddenly realized that only Heroist and I are the only ones here who haven't been isekai'd; everyone else showed up here!

Everything looks bleak with me, and without me. I signed up for content that's just a source of constant frustration, and I'm forcing myself to go through it. And next to me, I see a more enjoyable game, more fun content, and the main group of players. Heroist and Alex are very busy; the latter is so busy that it doesn't matter if he's just an NPC. Throughout the entire game, there was only one instance where I saw content that made me regret not going to do the Calcite quest (Baldr). I see the game passing me by. I see you having fun. And all I can do is count rem on rem. Quests are done not because they're fun, but because money is needed. I don't have the energy for much, and it often boils down to gray text. There are all sorts of sand traps and ambushes. A lot of unnecessary inventory and financial management. And time passes much faster for me than for you. And you have conversations with Nariya. Warm social interaction. All sorts of fun Eugenies. Tons of unique content, instead of... uh... a couple of decent shops and two arenas where you can die. I have the feeling that even if I survive and return, Margela will be gone, or half of the NPCs will be dead, and the quests will be inactive. And in a week, I'll have to sail somewhere again. I want to survive in Alaria. I want to reach Margela. But I don't even have the energy to write RP posts. I'm not playing because I'm having fun; I'm forcing myself. I don't want to lose my character. I want to finally get to the content that's fun for me. Not endless math with dice rolls and paranoia about every bush. I don't know, maybe Calcite just isn't for me, but I'm not having fun. My teammates aren't either, considering that one of them has already basically left. There's no interest left in "what's next in Calcite." And I've been on edge for the past few days. I was joking that I want a time machine and a temporal paradox so that all three of us are in Margela and in the same timeline at once. But it's not even a joke, damn it. I really would like something like that. And I suspect that I'll have to mentally recover afterward to get back into a normal gaming groove. Games are supposed to be played for fun, but here... I don't even know. Sorry for the long post. And you, Revan, also apologize for the emotions I've expressed here. I understand that you tried, you did everything, you planned. A lot of effort was put in. It's visible and felt. But for me... I don't know, something isn't working. Sometimes that happens. Right now, I'm kind of hoping that MAYBE I'll get lucky with something super-duper, but I don't know. Every day, I feel like I'm burning out. Sorry, I just needed to vent.

Gm-u also isn't having fun when people stop playing actively or stop playing altogether. But that's just not really related to the text.

Waking up early in the morning and completing all the necessary procedures, Nisho discovered two city maps in Carneol. They were written in different handwriting.
"Okay... hmm... hmm, watch shop... training hall, hmm, there are probably a lot of men there)) hmm... Ideal, modeling agency... I guess I'll go there, let's see what they offer."
Nisho headed to Ideal.

Grant one wish to a dwarf who, as a child, wanted to become a kraken...

The Lugarnists won, and now the flights are free. 😎

Socialism is not capitalism, so it shouldn't demand money for joining.

"Free" trips for the nobility and the party elite. The proletariat gets beef offal on ration cards once a month. There's no need for them to travel and gawk at the decaying Margel capitalist system; only specially trained people are allowed to do that.

Any merchant will tell you that what you bought from them is the best thing you could possibly acquire, so it's better to ask yourself or your loved ones.

-- Thank you for your honesty, -- she nods and circles around the mirror for a while, remaining very pleased with what she saw.
Next, Fyr-Fyr had scheduled the completion of the city tour so that she could submit the survey to Zarya. For this, the redhead heads to the parade district, where she passes by the air dock: not going inside, but fully appreciating the scale of these so-called airships ("What a nightmare, if in her native Nozenrote, knighthood was only on the path to decline, then here it has clearly died: even the legendary Tartarus would not be able to defend against these monsters in such numbers... And it is clearly easier to control them than to undergo close combat training.")
Passing by the Diablo restaurant sign, the knight decides to go inside for a gastronomic tour. She orders lasagna and tiramisu...

I spend 4 movement points to reach the Inferno.

I feel sorry for the bird.
