[You appear to be struggling with something. Perhaps your guild asked you to do something special, or you're trying to set up for the guild fair. Or perhaps something else. Anyway, all of a sudden, some kid in a purple gi and with spiky black hair descends from the sky above.]

Hey there! Would you like some help?


[2]



[The library! It's big, innit? Well, this kid here is able to maneuver well enough to get around quickly. As for directions, though...]

Um, excuse me! Could you tell me where the exit is?

[You and Gohan are good friends. Right now, you're feeling down. Gohan notices, and plops into the empty seat beside you.]

Hey, you look down. Is everything OK?


[4]



[Uh-oh. Someone, whether it was you or someone else, has just angered Gohan. For some reason, his normally-black hair has turned gold, his black eyes have turned teal, and a golden aura now surrounds him.



...Or maybe that's just not enough. In which case, Gohan is now at full power.]

You disgusting creep... I'll make sure you can't do that ever again! This is going to end now!

Not me, that's against my function. [ A pause as she taps her cheek thoughtfully. ] I think it is.

Besides, I ask because if you knew what I was, you wouldn't be offering to help in the first place.

[returnmyrice]

Your...function?

You think so? I disagree. I don't care what a person is -- just who a person is.

[immortalobject]

That's right. I'm a private pixie, er that's to a «Navigation Pixie» for a certain player.

[ A nod. ] Papa just isn't here with me yet.

[returnmyrice]

Um...I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you just said. Can you say it in a different way?

What does your dad have to do with this? I just asked if I could help you.

[immortalobject]

Papa is that special player I have to help. He rescued me, so everything I do should be for him.

[ Another energetic nod. ] So I have to perform this action on my own or else Papa might get upset with me.

[returnmyrice]

[Okay, Gohan understood about half of that. But he's bugged by what he heard.]

But who says he has to find out? You need to think about what's good for yourself sometimes, too.

[immortalobject]

Um, I'm not programmed to think on my own.

Sorta. The last time I did I caused a lot of trouble.

[returnmyrice]

Wait, programmed? And what happened?
