7 Let's go to the Theatre!

Iris stared at the necklace whilst walking, inspecting it. "it doesn't look special". Although she said this she did hope that it was a special item. She put the necklace back under her sack-dress and started towards the town. The players now had simple armour and weapons, many had achieved level 5 and were completing class quests already. Iris wasn't aware that she took so long in the woods, on her way back she encountered some other level 3 slimes and finished them off. Giving her Iris looked around for a theatre in hope that she would find a class quest for the 'Dancer' class. "It is what you make it I guess" Iris strongly disagreed with Tom the tailor's idea of her being a dancer but she had no better alternative.

—I mean, it could be fun... I could always incorporate flying—

Surprised by her genius Iris recalculated and stopped mid-step, "a flying dancer!" She was now very glad as in addition to the passive skill, she could fly, having a step ahead of everyone. This was crucial in the early stages of a game.

—Ah, I'm glad I downloaded the app, although I still don't understand how I got here—

Iris looked around casually, still trying to find the theatre. She was walking until and old NPC bumped into the back of her, Iris fell straight to the ground from a single bump..not knowing what just happened she apologised to the lady and started to pick up the Stick that the old woman had dropped upon bumping, "oh thank you, young one, would you care to help me to the theatre?" The old woman looked at her with deep sweet eyes, "sure? Although I don't know where it is..." Iris wasn't rude enough to ignore an old lady and she could just find out where the theatre was from her. The old lady smiled and led the way. After a while, she started mumbling. Iris made out the words, dance and tailor. Iris could have been mistaken but was this the lady she was looking for?

"Um excuse me, do you happen to know Tom the tailor —do I call him that?— I've been sent from him to find someone at the theatre..." The old lady whirled to face her, not need her Stick at all.

"You're the young bud he mentioned!" The old lady whizzed around once again quickening her pace. Iris found it difficult to keep up even with her vitality stat at 17, without breaking into a run.
