[[caption-width-right:350:You sir! Fancy a long grueling adventure full of pain, betrayal and personal conflicts?]]

->'''Rosencrantz:''' ''(dramatically)'' It was urgent -- [[ShapedLikeItself a matter of extreme urgency]], a [[RoyalBlood royal]] summons, his very words: official business and no questions asked -- lights in the stable-yard; saddle up and off headlong and hotfoot across the land, our guides outstripped in breakneck pursuit of our duty! Fearful lest we come too late.\\
''(Beat.)''\\
'''Guildenstern:''' Too late for what?\\
'''Rosencrantz:''' How do I know? We haven't got there yet.\\

[[JumpedAtTheCall I'll get it!]] Hello, this is ReportSiht, can I help you?

''Hello. This is Mr. {{Herald}}. I am looking for someone named [[MeaningfulName Zenwan]]? [[TheChosenOne D. Cho Zenwan]]?''

Oh, [[MissedTheCall he's not here right now]].

''Can I [[TheCallLeftAMessage leave a message]]?''

Well, he's a bit busy right now and [[ScreeningTheCall I don't want to bother him]]. Perhaps I can help?

''Hmmmm, I'll have to think about it. [[TheCallPutMeOnHold Please hold]].''

...

''OK, here's the deal: You've won a free [[TheHerosJourney trip]] to [[MagicalLand another world]]. You'll get to see [[TheLostWoods forests]], [[DeathMountain mountains]], [[CapitalCity bustling cities]], [[TempleOfDoom ancient ruins]], a FloatingContinent, all culminating in [[StormingTheCastle a tour of a majestic castle]]. You'll be joined by a [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits bunch of fellow tourists]] as well, who'll be like [[{{Nakama}} a second family to you]]. You'll all encounter [[LoveInterests love]], [[BigBad hate]], [[{{Rival}} rivalry]], [[ThresholdGuardians personal challenges]], [[SecretTestOfCharacter tests of character]], [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters]], [[HeroicSacrifice death]]-''

Monsters? Death?! That doesn't sound very enjoyable!

''Just relax, [[AngstWhatAngst it'll be the time of your life]]. Besides, you'll meet [[FateWorseThanDeath a lot worse than that]] on this trip! Oh, and you'll also get to learn a whole lot of useful life skills, such as [[MagicAndPowers magic spells]], [[SwordFight sword fighting]], KungFuFighting, [[TheGunslinger gunfighting]], [[LeParkour running away]]-''

You know, a lot of these 'skills' seem to revolve around violence. Are you sure that I'll be safe?

''[[CouldHaveBeenMessy I guarantee it!]] So, what do you say? We're all counting on you!''

Thanks, but that doesn't really sound like my kind of thing. [[RefusalOfTheCall I'll pass]].

''[[BecauseDestinySaysSo But I'm telling you, you have to do this]]!''

Hey, [[ScrewDestiny screw you.]]

''Dude, [[YouCantFightFate don't mess with me]]. [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive I know where you live!]] I'll [[DoomedHometown destroy your home]], and I'll kill your [[DeadLittleSister little sister]] [[AndYourLittleDogToo and your favorite pet]]! Then what are you going to do? [[{{Wangst}} Mope around in the charred ruins of your house?]]''

Is that a threat? Well [[SmiteMeOhMightySmiter give me your best shot, loser]]! [[TemptingFate What's the worst you could do to me]]?...

...

"Hello."

<...>

"An adventure, you say? I don't suppose saying "No, thanks." will do any good, will it, Mr Herald?"

<...>

" I didn't think so. [[ResignedToTheCall Well, I don't really have much of a choice then, do I? Let's get on with it. The sooner we get started, the sooner we'll be done, and I can get back to my garden. The tomatoes are coming along beautifully.]]"
