| Fighter | But I wanna be a Light Warrior! |
| Black Mage | You're not going to shut up about this, are you? |
| Fighter | Nnnnnope. |
| Black Mage | Fine, tell you what. If you can convince two complete strangers to join us on a suicide mission to rid the world of evil, then sure, we'll apply for the Light Warrior job. |
| Fighter | Goody goody gumdrops! |
| Black Mage | But if you can't find two other hardy souls ready to die a gruesome and painful death at the hands of insane goblins and ogres for no good reason, then we never talk about this Light Warrior crap again. Agreed? |
| Fighter | We're gonna be Light Warriors! Weeeeeeeeee! |
| Black Mage | Meanwhile, I'll go beat the day lights out of that old man. He can't be that tough. |
| Fighter | Shouldn't we meet back soon? Otherwise, the position might be taken! |
| Black Mage | Yeah, we wouldn't want that to happen.
Ahem. I mean, yeah. We'll meet back here in one hour. |
| Fighter | That oughta be just enough time to round up some brave do-gooders! |
| Black Mage walks away. | |
| Black Mage | Heh. He actually thinks he'll find someone who wants to join us. I'm sure he'll just waste his time browsing at a weapons shop anyway. Besides, he's too stupid to get into trouble, so I've got nothing to worry about… |
| Fighter approaches the weapons shop. | |
| Fighter | Hm, where to start? Maybe at yon local weapons shop... |
| Thief's bush shuffles up and he pops out in front of Fighter. | |
| Thief | Hello. |
