And such began the tale of the Hero's first endevour into the first city. What he noted first, was that even though it was the main city, it barely consisted of more than eight roads that you could run from one side to the other of in 5 seconds flat... And that everyone, everyone, was just the same as back home, walking around or staying still, but always repeating the same line.
"Welcome to Capitalville!"
"Have you tried the pub yet? It's the best around!"
"I heard that the Village of Destiny has been razed to the ground!"
... ... No-one really said anything useful. As even the Hero was understanding that there was nothing to be gained there, he spotted a woman, a woman who amazingly was not wearing the same thing as the others (not to mention that her chest was bigger than any NPCs). In her arm was a basket of flowers, and he had... a strange feeling.
Some people describe love as a magnetic feeling towards the other... Others describe it as seeing a choir of angels all around the person who you have fallen in love with... In the Hero's case, it was more like a relief that someone's different, and a huge smell of plot device. There was a feeling in his stomach, but that was probably hunger. After seeing the woman, he walked towards her, and went to, finally, talk to her.
Hero: Um... Hi?
