“Uh, me?”
Your sure your voice sounds timid, but since you are quaking in your very fashionable boots at the moment, you aren’t going to be too hard on yourself about it.
“WE don’t recognize that user name. You cannot pass!”
You don’t really mean to, but you laugh anyway. It’s hard not to when the voice sounds so ridiculous.
“I’m a bit under-the-radar right now, but I’m working on it. Who are you, anyway?”
You step forward just a little bit, testing the voice’s limits. Some branches rustle up ahead, and you see figure emerging from the thicker forest up ahead. An incredibly large mustache obscures the figure’s face.
Your mouth drops open in shock. Have you done it? Have you really found the Quest Master?!
“I have an incredibly awesome and noteworthy user name!”
You cock your head, thinking. You may have heard that user name before; it might have been in an old praise post somewhere, but you’re not sure.
The figure hangs its head, mustache drooping sadly.
“I knew no one would remember me!”
You feel bad for an instant, but shake it off. It isn’t your fault you don’t know their user name.
“You don’t seem very active, hiding out in the woods way out here though.”
The figure continues to wail. “I know! I left icon making for Tumblr! It was a terrible decision! I hated it there! But now the icon making trends have all passed me by! I don’t know what to do!”
You start to regret staying to hear the figure out. This is too dramatic for your tastes. Still, you know how hard it can be to carve out your slice of the icon making world. You’re still trying to create yours after all.
You step forward and lay a hand on the figure’s shoulder, carefully avoiding their soggy mustache.
You have a sudden thought. Why not invite this mustached maker-in-arms along with you on your journey?
[JUMP LINK: GAIN A MUSTACHED SIDE KICK.]Then again, you don’t really know this maker. That’s not entirely safe, and you aren’t sure sticking your neck out for them right now is the best thing for you. Besides, you want to explore The Icon Quest a little more. Any number of treasures and secrets might be hidden among the ruins!
