"Yesyesyes!"

I use my AGI for what it's really worth, and bust out the best Moonwalk and Running Man the world has ever seen.

Best day ever.

And there's one way to make it even better...

I squeeze my eyes shut and pray to every God in the vicinity, "Please be pants, please be pants, please be pants."

*Holds breath. Peeks through fingers.*

There's also a ton of monster partsclaws, fangs, guts, flaming eyeballand a couple pieces of mid-grade heavy armor I'll never wear, but no matter how many times I look over my Battle Log, there are no trousers.

Well. That's it, then. I'm destined to forever roam the universe in hot pink underwear.

It's fine.

I'll just learn how to twerk.

{I'm speechless.}

The green-white glowing tree spirit Kodama floats over to where I'm practicing important skills amidst the rubble.

"Is it my amazing booty shaking?"

{No.}

Her voice is flat, and maybe a little pained? Like whatever she saw burned through retinas she doesn't even have...

Nah, I probably just imagined that.

I do a few shadowboxing jabs in the air. "Can't believe this puny demi-human could kick so much ass?"

I cross my arms, waiting for praise...that never comes.

{I'm speechless.} The Kodama repeats.

"Yeah, I caught that."

{How didButNever should haveMakes no senseMust process. You, come back later.}

Poof! The Kodama disappears in a puff of white mist.

*Ding!*

[Chain Quest {INSERT CLEVER NAME} Activated!]

[Warning: Failure to complete this mandatory quest will result in penalty. (And since we're forced to develop this quest solely for you, it's going to be hard, and the penalty for failure will be harsh.) ()]

Did the devs just flip me off via emoticon?
