Itaka turned to the man again. "Could you please wait a second?""Sure!"
And turned back to Kyaga and Shizu. "Maybe we just have to trigger a dialogue somehow. I mean, normally they had a question mark above their heads. But if this world here is meant to be more realistic than we should try that." He whispered.
"Good idea." Agreed Kyaga. They looked over to Shizu and she nodded as well. "Any suggestions for what to ask?"
"Maybe we will just flat out ask him if there are any quests he has for us.." Suggested Itaka, whereupon the other two nodded. Itaka faced the man again. "Do you have any quests for us?"
He got his confused look again. "Quests? You guys are exactly like the other two, you know that?"

Itaka lowered his head in despair. "They asked that as well?" He sighed and turned to his friends.
"Yeah, and I still don"t know what it me"
Kyaga stepped forward and cut him off. "Is there anything that we could do for you?"
"Anything you could do for me?" Asked the man surprised.
"Yeah, we could do something." Said Kyaga.
"Uhm, let me think again." There was a short pause again as the man was ruminating again. "I think there"s just the same thing that I already told the other two."
"You told the other two?" Asked Itaka incredulous and still in despair while turning to the man again. "Why didn"t you tell us?"
"I don"t know, I didn"t want to ask you for anything right away, you know?"
Itaka sighed. "Yeah, sure." He said before turning away, yet again, and muttering to himself. "Maybe this improved AI is more useless for us than I thought.
"Okay." Continued Kyaga calm. "And what did you ask them for?"
"I asked them to help me find berries. I really like the red berries that grow in front of Zeiwit"s gates, but it"s too dangerous for me to go alone, so it would be nice if you could go and get me some." Said the man.
Kyaga, Itaka, and Shizu gave each other an excited look.
"Okay, and how many do you want to have?" Asked Kyaga impatient, but excited.
"I asked the other two for about twenty." He had a short thinking break again. "Just get me another twenty then. The more, the better!" He laughed.
"Okay!" Said Kyaga determined to fulfil this maybe a bit too easy, but still first real Quest they got.
His little spree of happiness got interrupted when suddenly a pop up appeared in front of his eyes.
"New Quest!" It read. "Find twenty Berries and return them."
"You guys got that too?" Asked Kyaga, now excited again after the short shock. He already forgot that the interface existed again. Wherever they were, it felt scarily real.
"Yes!" Said Shizu. She seemed to be really excited for the first time since they got here as well.
"Yeah, we will be here again as fast as possible!" Said Itaka, who already walked a few steps towards the exit again.
"Wait, wait!" The man called out behind the three, who already set out to the new quest. "Don"t bring them here, please. Bring them to my wife! We live right next to the armorsmith! House number 67!"
"Okay!" Yelled Kyaga back at him, before they finally exited the Colosseum. They didn"t finish their first Mission, but they at least found a first Quest."
