A young woman enters the bar. She wears plain and casual clothing, and a white scarf rests on her shoulders. Her medium-length red hair is pulled back behind her. She takes a seat at a booth a bit of a distance away, admiring the horn of plenty before her.

“Interesting to tell about?” Beneath the table, Red crosses her legs and her knee begins to bounce quietly. “Uh... I don’t have any great stories about slaying beasts or overthrowing evil beings, if that’s what you mean.”
-
*Dal notices the new face and walks over.* “Hiya!”
-
[spoiler]Hello, there![/spoiler] Red was caught in the middle of biting into a burger. She quickly swallowing wipes her mouth with a napkin. “Oh—hey!”
-
[spoiler]Howdy![/spoiler] “Hi! It’s nice to see a new face around here!” *Dal smiles.*
-
“Thanks, it’s been interesting exploring this city. Who are you? I don’t think I saw you when I came in.” She nods to the seat across from her in the little booth, inviting Dal to sit with her.
-
“I’m Daliah Diana Dislay, but my friends call me Dally! And you are?” *She sits and nods.* [spoiler]Dal got a middle name! Huzzah![/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Sweet! Just recently?[/spoiler] “Amber Reid Brennhart,” she replies. “But people back home usually call me Red.”
-
[spoiler]Yup! [/spoiler] “Well, it’s nice to meet you Red! What brings you to our lovely city?”

-
“Oh, cool! Exploration is always great!”
-
“I guess so. I’m new to it, and I can’t say I’ve done a lot of it until recently. Do people around here explore much?”
-
“A bunch do! I like exploring, but honestly it’s more just taking a run through some new scenery for me.”
-
“Sounds like you see something new every time you go out.” Red notices. “Offtopic must be a pretty big place.” The statement almost sounds like a question.
-
“Yeah, it’s a real big place! I’ve been living here for about 3/4th of a year and I still have so much to see!”
-
Red turns her head a little to the side curiously. “Three-fourths of a year? You’re kidding.”
-
Edited by Dislay: 11/24/2020 3:35:49 AM“Nope! I’m 100% serious!”
-
“I would’ve thought longer.” Red picks off a piece of her burger bun and tosses it into her mouth.
-
“Well, I’m relatively new, but I’ve covered a lot of ground!”
-
“For sure. You got a lot farther than I did in less than a year. I’ve probably been around here for about that long—well, not here specifically, obviously.” She shrugs again.
-
“Well, I’m also probably a [i]lot[/i] faster, so that’s to be expected!”
-
“Faster? So you’ve got a nice ship?”
-
“Oh no, while I do have a good ship I use, I’m just really fast on my feet.”
-
“Ah, gotcha. That’s definitely good for exploring.”
-
“Mhm! Plus being able to outrun any threat is real helpful!”
-
“I’ve heard that Offtopic is... an exciting place to be. This might sound strange, but do you think it’s very dangerous to live here?” She doesn’t quite seem to realize that Dal has a special kind of speed.
