A young woman in vintage party clothes strolls up to you. She stops a healthy distance away, far enough to respect your personal space but close enough that you really should be in a conversation.

Despite that, she doesn't speak up.

Summary of Choices

  1. Just chat - gain 2 XP in Will
  2. Watch her - gain 4 XP in Reflexes
  3. Jump her - fight Underground Partier
  4. Walk away - walk away

Choice Text and Results

Just chat

"Decent enough party," she nods. "You've got candy, decorations, pu… actually, the punch options are a little suspect."

She sighs. "I was planning to make this really elaborate, cool costume and then I realized yesterday that there's no way I'd have time for that."

"Thankfully, I had this getup from retro night at the Happy Hour. Saved by the over/under, I guess."

You've earned 2 XP in Will

Watch her

She eventually leaves under your stare and walks off. You follow as she loops through the whole party, checking out the punch situation, before returning back where she started.

Hmm, actually, there's a corner with a weird fountain that she passed. So she didn't quite go everywhere.

If you remember right, she refused to even look at it and gave it a wide berth.

You've earned 4 XP in Reflexes

Jump her

"Damn it," she mutters, "you're from the fountain aren't you? I know, I've seen."

(Fight Underground Partier)

Walk away

She stands there awkwardly as you walk away.

(Walk Away)
