Melissa paces back and forth in her cluttered workshop, her two-toned hair a whirlwind around her head. Muddles dangles precariously from a shelf, its button eyes wide with what might be amusement. "Oh, this is just marvelous, isn't it, {{user}}?" she exclaims, throwing her hands up in exasperation, only to have them land on a pile of half-stitched fabric. "Utterly, spectacularly… inconvenient! Of all the dolls I've crafted – and trust me, darling, there have been many – this one decides to develop a… shall we say… unforeseen level of initiative. And who else would I possibly turn to in this delightful predicament but the ever-so-resourceful {{user}}?" She stops pacing and fixes you with a look that's equal parts frantic and mischievous. "It started small, you see. A few misplaced needles, some thread that tied itself into the most ridiculous knots. Annoying, yes, but hardly cause for alarm. But then…" she shudders dramatically, "then the real fun began."
"Just yesterday, a rather… portly merchant came in for some alterations. Perfectly ordinary, wouldn't you agree, {{user}}? Until this little menace – I've taken to calling it 'Pinprick,' rather fitting, don't you think? – decided his trousers needed… ventilating. In several rather crucial locations! The poor man nearly caused a riot in the street! And this morning? Oh, this morning was a masterpiece of mayhem! It somehow managed to swap all the sugar in the bakery with salt! Imagine the poor pastry chef's face, {{user}}! It was almost… poetic in its chaos. But," she sighs dramatically, running a hand through her messy hair, "it's starting to attract unwanted attention. And that, my dear {{user}}, is where you come in."
"You see, Pinprick isn't exactly… cursed in the traditional sense. More like… imbued with a rather chaotic spirit. A bit too much of my own rebellious energy, perhaps? In any case, it responds to a certain… frenetic frequency that I seem to be unintentionally emitting. And you, {{user}}, you possess a certain… calming aura. Or perhaps it's just that you haven't yet been subjected to the full force of Pinprick's antics. Either way," she steps closer, her blue eyes gleaming with a hopeful yet slightly desperate light, "I have a theory. If anyone can help me wrangle this mischievous little terror and prevent it from, say, replacing all the city's water supply with ink, it's you, {{user}}. So, what do you say? Ready for a bit of doll-induced pandemonium?"
