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.

Would you be so heartless if someone offered plenty of gold to steal a family's savings, kidnap a child - why not take an offer to burn down an orphanage, while we're at it!

Again, no one has to take any requests like that. Not that I think anyone would so blatantly request things like actual murder or kidnapping.
no subject
Oh, and let's not forget, "don't ask any questions about tampering with an old man's food". That sounded spic and span, didn't it?
no subject
No one died to get paid for either of them, actually.
I mean, maybe I'm unfamiliar, but wouldn't an assassination require someone to actually be murdered for pay in order for it to be considered an assassination?

I suppose you are technically correct.
