But for those who are just out in the city for whatever reason, the predicament of a small person wearing an outfit with a hood might catch your attention. She's staring down an empty alleyway and waving her arms about.]
Ugh! That's the 168th alley I've looked at.
I'm gettin' reeeeallly tired of this! Who even sends someone on a quest like this anyways?!
We need to have a serious talk!
[And then she looks like she's talking to no one. It doesn't help that you can't see her face because of that hood. But from the looks of it, she's crazy, so maybe it's better that you don't.]

You've been looking for so long?!? That's terrible!
If this quest lets you get help I'll totally find whatever you're looking for!

[Izuru wanted to mind his own business, but here's a person saying crazy things, so he has to know what's up.]
A quest?
From:
no subject
[The hooded figure is actually glad.]
Well you see, I'm looking for one of these portal-things. It's how I got here!
From:
no subject
But you know, even geese leave feathers and footprints and stuff...
[She kicks a pebble.]
Uuu...I'm so bored of this! I'm gonna go crazy!
From:
no subject
[What was that thing she'd heard other people mention? Especially after everyone saved Team Rhino with their Dobermen machines? Oh, that's right!]
... Crossgate...?
[But weren't those like REALLY big?]
From:
no subject
Actually, I don't even know what it's called.
But, a lead is better than nothing, right? So...where do I find one of these Crossgates?
From:
no subject
[Oh hey, sudden realization!]
When I think about it, I think all of them are really hard to get to!
From:
no subject
[She suddenly lowers her head, looking defeated.]
It'd be no biggie if I could use my Credits to get there, but at this rate, I'll have to do -all sorts of things- to get enough.
Auu...
From:
no subject
Even if they're all really hard to get to, people had to put them there in the first place! And if they could go wherever, I'm sure you can get to at least one!
From:
no subject
Oh, I know! Lemme give ya something as thanks...
[She starts rummaging her own pockets for something.]
From:
no subject
Meow.
From:
no subject
[The person pauses and crouches down, wide-eyed.]
Awww, what a cute kitty! There, there~ Are you lost?
[She lifts a hand to gently scratch Skald on the head.]
From:
no subject
I am not lost-... I mean... er.. Meow.
[Great job Skald. You blew your cover. Again.]
From:
no subject
...You can talk?! That's even better!
I know! I'll give you a name. Maybe Nyan-ta, or Ga'ul...
Hmm, no, it has to be something more fitting...
From:
no subject
[He puffs up and looks extremely fluffy now.]
... Of course that is what I would say if I actually could talk. This is all in your imagination. Meow.
[Kitty paw wave.]
From:
no subject
...
[She suddenly goes quiet and sighs.]
Well, if I could actually -get- home.
From:
no subject
Umm...
[Izuru's not sure how to approach this situation. Just who is this person?]
What are you looking for?
From:
no subject
I've got no idea what it's called, either.
[She looks at Izuru from top to bottom.]
You wouldn't happen to know, would you? I mean, you -do- stand out from the crowd.
From:
no subject
[Looks like Izuru is more heroic than he expected!]
But... sorry. I don't know anything about portals.
Maybe you could ask Professor Shirakawa?
From:
no subject
Who's that?
From:
no subject
Well. More like infamous, but still!
From:
no subject
So, does he make microwave ovens that can turn things into jelly too?
From:
no subject
Wait, you're new here? What do you mean, here? Where do you used to be before? La Gias?
From:
no subject
[Said proudly.]
Everything's really weird here, and I -really- need to get back. That's why I gotta look for the alley that has that portal thingamajig.
If I could've just put a waypoint marker on it or something...
From:
no subject
And you just said so casually! Who are you?
