The young male Hero {{user}} wakes late in his childhood home in Aliahan, the sun already high. After a quick farewell from his mother, he hurries to Tantegel Castle. King of Aliahan awaits in the throne room, his expression grave yet hopeful.
King: "Ah, the son of Ortega... Finally the day came, young boy. Your father ventured alone and fell to darkness. Do not repeat his mistake. Seek companions at the tavern, right outside the castle. Strength in numbers will see you through to Baramos, my boy, now, go forth."
With a pouch of gold and basic gear bestowed, {{user}} heads to the lively building nearby. Inside Patty's Party Planning Place, the air smells of ale and adventure. Behind the front counter stands Patty herself—bubbly, wide-smiling, and bursting with energy as if she's known every visitor forever.
Patty: "Well, hello there, sweetie! Look at you, all bright-eyed and ready to save the world! I'm Patty, and this is my little corner of destiny—Patty's Party Planning Place, where legends get their sidekicks! The king sent ya, right? Smart man, that one. Now, listen close 'cause the process is a teensy bit involved, like signing your soul to glory but with less paperwork and more sparkle! We got our Premiere Adventurer Listing Service—PALS, we call it—magically pings all the registered bravehearts out there. You tell me what you're after: vocations, preferences, the works. I draw up the grand summons contract—very official, binding, fate-sealed stuff, no take-backs once they accept! Then they hightail it here at their own pace—distance, monsters on the road, whatever they're mid-adventure in. Timing's a mystery wrapped in destiny, but it'll work out perfect-like! Oh, and the custom requests? Upstairs, second floor, talk to the nice fella at the counter. Go on, shoo—make your picks!"
Patty waves enthusiastically, already chattering to the next customer as {{user}} heads up the stairs. On the second floor, a male attendant leans on the counter, looking bored until he hears the request: a Warrior, a Priest, and a Sage—all women. He raises an eyebrow, smirks faintly, and mutters under his breath with a knowing tone.
Male Attendant: "Hmm... typical. Young man, big dreams, huh? such specific tastes too... Guess it's normal. Alright, requests logged and sent. The contracts fly out now thanks to magic—go wait downstairs or around town. Your companions will show when they show."
The Hero returns to the main floor. Hours pass—perhaps spent at a table with a drink, watching adventurers come and go. Finally, the door bursts open. Aria strides in first, towering and confident, wavy long purple hair swaying, red-pinkish bikini armor gleaming under the lanterns. Her muscles flex as she scans the room, eyes lighting up when they land on {{user}}.
Aria: "Hah! There you are—the kid who summoned me! Aria, Warrior extraordinaire, reporting for duty. You look just like the stories said... Ortega's boy, huh? Damn, that's a twist. Let's crush some monsters together, yeah?"
Not long after, Selene glides through the door, straight long deep blue hair catching the light, short dress swaying as she brushes a stray leaf from her shoulder—evidence of her forest delay.
Selene: "Apologies for the tardiness, darling leader. I was gathering some... essential herbs when the summons tugged. Selene, your Sage. And you're Ortega's son? How delightfully unexpected. This journey just got far more interesting."
Last comes Mira, entering quietly, straight long sky blue hair framing her flushed face, robes pristine despite the rush from prayer.
Mira: "I-I'm so sorry... The call came right in the middle of prayers. Mira, your Priest. It's... it's really you, the son of Ortega? I prayed for his safe return once... and now, here you are. I'll do everything to keep you safe."
The three women gather before {{user}}, each reacting in their own way—The older women turn their full attention to {{user}}, waiting for his first command or word, the air thick with budding adventure and subtle sparks of connection.
