Greetings, one and all. I have an... inquiry, I suppose I'd put it, about the ... rather ghastly quests we've been offered.
For those who've been here longer than I... are these type of quests normal for this place? Manipulating emotions like a child's plaything to outright murder... If we are supposed to be heroes intent on saving all the realms, I must say these actions hardly seem heroic at all!
[ After a moment, there's the gentle 'coo' of a bird off-screen. Maribelle hesitates, then sighs. ]
... All right, there is another reason I'm using this device. During the tournament, it appears my behavior was... less than savory. If I offended anyone -
[ The 'coo' is a bit louder this time. Maribelle bites her lower lip, then resigns herself. ]
... To those I did offend, I offer my most sincere apologies. I should have known entering would have brought out the worst of me, and yet I did it anyway, for the sake of greed. As a representative of my world, it is my duty to ensure I leave a good impression on all, and behave much less like a snob.
... Admittedly, the latter is difficult for me. For those who struggle with a similar behavior, I ask for advice on tempering it, lest I offend others again.

It's probably a number of factors... if there was a singular solid reason, I'd hardly be asking for advice!

Oh, I get that, but -- take me through a moment in your head when it came out.

She clears her throat, trying to stay on target. ]
... During the tournament, I was part of the Healers division. I was attempting to explain that magic shouldn't be used for simple, small wounds since it takes up valuable time and energy that should be reserved for more serious ones.
... But instead, I snapped and demanded people listen to me without saying my explanation.

And if something does legitimately upset you, you owe it to yourself to consider it and understand why. Only then can you grow past it.
