[ There's a scruffy, friendly-lookin dude front and center here, sort of recognizable as the slightly older, longer-haired version that used to go around being stuffy and formal. This sheepish smile is pretty uncharacteristic of him from back then, though. ]

Hello! I'm Ashraf. I was here a while ago, co-director of the transport-run clinic? [ He offers a wave. ] So hello again to anyone that knew me. I'm sorry in advance if I don't remember you very well, it's been about fifty years on my end! [ says the guy who doesn't look a day over 20 ]

So, anyway— I figured this could be a long shot, but... does anyone have a way with clothing?

[ Here's where the sheepish smile makes a triumphant return. He pulls up a pair of beautifully embroidered robes, obviously expensive, but currently full of violent-looking rips, tears, and a bullet hole or two. There's also some bloodstains left over from attempts to wash them out. ]

I tried, I really did. At this point, I think it's going to take magic to set these straight. Or a whole new set, maybe. So, um... any takers? I could pay!

Congratulations! [Genuine Excitement! This feels like a big deal! Besides, even if some of it is lost on her, she can totally understand having a ceremony for being awarded something you've worked hard towards.]

Rune-Midgard? Another world I've not heard of, before. [She seems excited by this.] Who or what is Prontera? What do you do at or for the Church?

[Sorry, Ashraf, she is very curious about all this.]

[highhealplz]

[ god why is she so adorable, can he just pocket her ]

Prontera is the capitol of Rune-Midgard and home of King Tristan, and I mainly help clear out some of Rune-Midgard's monster problem. [ with an obvious touch of pride, here: ] With a focus on demons and undead creatures.

[Yeah! She can shrink, so this is doable!

She groans lightly before smiling.]

Where were you in my first year? Undead monsters were such a pain.

[highhealplz]

Sorry! I'd have been happy to help if I could.

You have undead in your world, then? Are they common?

[showmeyourwreath]

It's alright, it worked out in the end, and we all got extra credit!

[Victory Sign is go!]

They're not too common, thankfully, at least not around any of the realms I've been to. That one year seemed to make up for it, though. Which isn't surprising, I guess, considering it was an army of everything that had been dead and rotten for the last thousand years.

[So done with undead things, man. SO DONE. That was enough to last a lifetime.]
