Hey assholes, so apparently I'm one of you now. Pretty great, yeah? Helping the universe and all that.

[The feed shows a woman with a scarred cheek wearing appears to be magenta power armor, using her helmet as an armrest in her as yet bare quarters. She's got blonde hair tipped with light purple, and harsh blue eyes that regard the feed critically.]

So I wanna hear from the front lines; what's this shit like? What can I expect? And also, where can I go to get a good porter because it's been too long since I've been tanked and with everything I've witnessed in the last, oh ... forty eight or so hours? I need a good tanking.

Oh, and where's the best place for decorations? Like, is there a Space Ikea I can hit up? I didn't have much in the way of options so I really want to take advantage of making this room my own.

[She goes to flip the feed off while she waits for replies, then stops herself at the last moment,]

Oh, uh ... call me Switch. Yeah.

[She snaps the feed off.]

➷ Rise to the Challenge [Video]

Have any of you ever fought a dragon before?

[Rebecca’s face graces the network for the first time, eyes bright even if she looks a little uncertain. Starting off like that...it’s bound to get SOMEONE’s attention, isn’t it?]

Ah—I’m Rebecca, by the way. I’ve never...what’s the word...video'd myself for anyone before. But I’ve been thinking about it, and I was wondering if anyone here had. You see, before I came here, my company and I were headed to a place called Dragon’s Gate. A wicked man is attempting to summon dragons to our world, and I really don't feel like I need to get started on why that would be horrible.

[She closes her eyes for a second—takes a deep breath, calms down before smiling again.]

So I was thinking...if I returned home...maybe there’d be some knowledge from here I can bring back to them, right? I can’t say we’ll face a dragon for certain, and we have the legendary weapons...but any knowledge would be helpful, I think! Just please keep in mind that where I come from...Elibe...the world isn’t anything like this one at all. We don't have 'electricity' and we bathe with water warmed with fire. Most of us live in villages or hamlets, and our biggest buildings are castles, not skyscrapers.

[Did she accidentally describe that she’s obviously from a JRPG? No, of course not.]

So...does anyone have any advice? It’d mean a lot to me, really! And I'd like to speak to more of you as well, I really shouldn't have put this off.
