Scene 90

Zash

Oh...

Woman

Hm, so that's how it is...

Zash

Whoa!

Zash

Where'd you come from?!

Hehehe, Argo goes wherever there's information to be sniffed out!

I really freaked you out there, huh? Was the event that scary?

Anyway, Zashinator...

Zash

Hey, what's with the new nickname?

You seem pretty chill, considering, you know...

Zash

Ah... That...

I get it...

You think you're not gonna get the chosen one treatment because you don't have the brooch, am I right?..

Zash

It's not like I did anything to be chosen in the first place.

Zash

I may have failed to get into the beta, but I can still be part of this quest.

Well, about the quest: I did a little digging, and it seems like quite the big campaign...

Stina

Does that mean there will be multiple objectives to clear as we go?

You're looking for the Sanctuaries and the legendary weapons, right? Frankly, I'm not sure how many of them there are, or when you'll be done.

Makes sense...

As for the quest's trigger conditions...

Think about what you all share in common: you all completed a specific quest during the beta test...

Yeah, I had the same thought.

Stina

That makes sense...

If we assume what the voice said is true, then the final objective will be stopping the God of Death from coming back to life.

Zash

But if we don't go along with the quest, then that storyline won't progress either, right?

Hm... So you think this apocalyptic event won't trigger at all if we don't move forward. Correct?

That's a pretty dangerous assumption to make. Some things progress even if you leave them alone. I mean, didn't this event start all by itself?

True...

It's a moot point, however, as it seems the quest is progressing one way or another. When you got that legendary weapon, the NPC Pucci told you about its story, didn't he?

So all we can do is move forward with the quest, then.

I'm sure there are others with the brooch. Maybe we can team up with them...

Maybe those scumbags we met before are also...
