[ It's your friendly neighborhood drow, hanging out somewhere in the jungle. He's idly tossing a dagger into the air, then catching it, then tossing, and so on. ]
Good evening, my friends.
[ He hasn't met nearly so many of Riverview's population as he'd like, but he's comfortable speaking warmly, casually, as though they've all known each other for years. He leans against a tall, mossy tree, eyes on the dagger as it glints in the low sun's light. ]
I happened to be doing a little light exploring, a little minor surveying ... and I came across something interesting. Ruins of some sort, absolutely emanating with mysterious power. I couldn't quite map the shape of the place, unfortunately--as soon as I began drawing near, the jungle came even more alive than usual. Even the lovely birds were angry with me.
[ He catches the dagger for the final time, then slides it into some unknown recess of his jacket. ]
Now, I am of humble merchant stock, but I can defend myself, if I must. I progressed as far as I dared, but something began to feel wrong. I heard voices--strange, incomprehensible chanting. I felt dizzy, woozy. I took the wise path and retreated.
[ He shakes his head. ]
But, before I escaped, I saw a few artifacts scattered through the underbrush, marking a haphazard trail into the ruins. I dared not take one, but they were all inscribed with a certain symbol.
[ He steps aside from the tree he's been leaning against. This symbol is carved into the bark. ]
Not sure what it means, but I have an uneasy feeling just looking at it.
[ He seems thoughtful for a second, then shakes his head. Brightens up. ]
Anyway! I would very much like to get to the bottom of this, but, as mentioned, I'm merely a merchant. My meager skill is not enough to overcome those ruins alone. Any help would therefore be appreciated.
And--one more thing. If you see this symbol anywhere in town, I'd turn around and walk away.

[That's so sad.]
So no payment for helping?
no subject
[ He speaks in a way that suggests his senses can absolutely be trusted. ]
That might suffice.
no subject
Okay. That's a deal. You got me.
no subject
[ His voice is infused with (seemingly) genuine enthusiasm. Truly, he does need help here, and he's willing to take whatever he can get. But he's not sure yet if any artifacts they recover will be useful or valuable--and if they are, he's certainly prepared to squirrel them away himself. ]
So--what do you do, exactly? I don't believe we've met.
[ He makes this sound like a tragedy. ]

I am the Great Ninja Yuffie! Master of the art of stealth and throwing pointy shit at my enemies. [She speaks in a boisterous voice while striking a pose that he can only see half of on the small screens.]
no subject
[ He maintains composure. Keeps his eyebrows in check, somehow. The smile stays fixed, warm and welcoming, to his face. ]
I'd be honored to have you along.
no subject
Sweet! Let me know when you head off.
