Choice Text and Results
What can I do?
She smiles at you. "Oh, just help out where you can. We're a bit rushed, with Emerald Gift coming unexpectedly."
She stops to think for a moment. "If you wanted to head out to the Quad to get some of the punch, that would be nice."
And, after some point
"On the way out, check out the maze. It should be pretty exciting." She smiles warmly.
(might change depending on where help is needed)
Is Midgard helping?
"No, no, no," she shakes her head, "just a couple of friends."
"They should be back tomorrow." She leans closer to you and whispers conspiratorially. "They're trying to get us lasers for the show."

Just watch her
