After a long day, you are having a drink at the closest inn you could find. A conspicuously dressed redhead girl is speaking to the patrons, looking more and more exasperated each time they shrug or shake their head.

Setting: a small, isolated village in a dark fantasy world. Marianne is your oldest friend - a strong, charismatic girl with a keen sense of adventure. You are sitting together looking out over the landscape beyond the village wall.
