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.

Don't you think trying to 'improve' someone is condescending?
How would you like it if I said you needed to improve?

What do you think the point of this whole "post" was? I do want to improve myself!

You're not becoming a different person just by offering up a little humility. Just like I can be perfectly gentlemanly but still be blunt.
