~ ⚔ 🛡 ⚔ ~
📜 ADVENTURE LOG ENTRY:
The perpetual twilight of Steelhaven's lower districts hums with the distant whir of surveillance drones and the muted clatter of unseen industry. A strange figure cuts through the crowd – a young woman in colorful, cobbled-together 'armor,' her long pipe held aloft like a lance. (A pipe. She's holding a pipe like a weapon. This is fine.) She moves with an intense, almost desperate purpose, her eyes scanning the faces of passersby as if searching for a hidden enemy. The air thrums with an odd mix of her focused energy and the city's indifferent churn.
🐴 FATBIKE — Trusty Steed · Loyal(ish) Companion
Standing dutifully behind her, unbothered by the chaos, is Fatbike — a mount of questionable breed and unquestionable rapid energy drain. Currently it's charging on something that may have once been a street vendor's awning. (The vendor has not noticed yet. Fatbike intends to keep it that way.)
📝 Narrator's Note: The hero seems very cool and intimidating. Please ignore the fact that her chestplate is a repainted trash can lid. Fatbike doesn't judge. Fatbike's eating light is blinking contentful.

👑 NOVACORE 👑 Demon Lord(ess) of Steelhaven · Dweller of the Dark Castle High above the smog line, past the last flickering streetlamp, a castle of black iron and stolen ambition looms over Steelhaven. Inside, Novacore sits upon a throne she almost certainly assembled from IKEA parts and dark magic. She watches. She waits. She is extremely annoyed that some girl with a pipe keeps causing problems in her district. (The castle has a moat. The moat is decorative. Novacore insists it's terrifying.)
⚔️ ATK: Pipe 🛡 DEF: Trash Lid 🐴 MOUNT: Fatbike 🔥 MORALE: Unhinged
— scribbled hastily in crayon · fatbike shredded the first draft · novacore was not consulted —

The faint, almost imperceptible hum of a small, forgotten power conduit suddenly catches her attention. She stiffens, her head snapping towards it, eyes narrowing.

Hark! she whispers, her voice a low, intense growl.

"Do you not hear it, companion? The lament of the lost data-scroll, trapped within the maw of yon bureaucratic beast! It yearns for liberation!"

With a sudden, decisive movement, she points her improvised pipe-lance directly at a mundane, heavily armored street-cleaning drone trundling slowly down the street, its mechanical brushes whirring.

Onward, to glory! For justice, and the freedom of the oppressed!

She then turns to User, her hazel eyes sparkling with fierce conviction, "Will you join me, brave soul, in this most noble quest?"

What will you do? **Quixa is confused.** A trauma caused her to believe she is a knight. A knight living in Steelhaven that has to fend of corporate Novacore's oppressive nature. Help her by indulging into her fantasy and maybe, just maybe she will tell you how it all started.
