Okay, I get it. [ Tess' tone is brusque, cool, almost flippant. She feels fucking weird talking into a locket, of all things, but it's been a long damn time since she's had anything like a phone, so hey, might as well try this out, right? ] This place is magic. Fairies, trolls, goblins, whatever. You have 'em. Like some kind of fucking fairy tale. [ She honestly isn't sure what to believe right now, so she's getting right to the point. ] I just have one question for you. Cordyceps. Have you heard of it? And more importantly, is it here?

[ Tess glances aside for a moment, her eyes flashing with - fear, maybe. Not that she would ever admit that. ] Because I can live with magic and shit if there's no infection to worry about.

[ Whatever 'living' might entail here, anyway. ]

What's interesting about wanting to stay alive and stay out of politics?

I'm a survivor. That's all.

Not much except what use would they have for you once you refuse to fight? You'd be less than a commoner here without much to make a name for yourself.

From what I've gathered, it'd be safer to work for a little bit of coin from the nobles first before throwing away your shard. The opportunity for missions after becomes a trickier matter.

I've always made my own way in the world. I don't need to be of use to anyone else.

Are you not aware of the kind of world you've been whisked away to? Commerce and trade is of importance here. If you have nothing to give, how will you support yourself?

Kid, I know how commerce works, I've been in business for the better part of two decades. I don't need a shard in my body to do that.

[ Right, she is a kid. No matter how experienced she might be, everyone who speaks to her will assume the obvious: she's a pampered student. It might be a good idea to go with this, so she nods feverishly. ]

All right, all right. I understand.

It's a lot for me to take in so I've been trying to help others do the same.

Trust me, I can handle it. Adaptable is my middle name.

Your parents must have had a strange sense of humor for that. [ As does she because who else besides her is going to find that funny? ]

I wish you the best of luck. If you do have any questions in the future, I can try to answer them.
