Rites

The Look of the Chivalry

Malkina has long admired the daring figures of the Dark Alley, or rather, the bandits and rogues who haunt it. She wanted to know more about their lives. Perhaps she can distill a way to make someone appear stronger, fiercer, more untamed. You happened to know quite a bit about these people. Which one will you bring for her to observe?

Regular

You called the Mercenary over.
With meat and wine, convincing him isn't difficult.

This swordsman stomped onto your pristine, expensive carpet, mud on his boots, and plopped down carelessly, grabbing some jerky as he eyes Malkina.

She asked him careful questions about combat attire, weapon placement, muscle training, and even the posture one takes when striking an enemy. At first, the Roaming Swordsman answered halfheartedly, but soon his interest was piqued. Setting down the food, he began demonstrating for Malkina.

"Shoulders back when you present yourself—looks bigger... hands at the sides, only fools cross their arms, how else will you draw a blade? Chest armor is unnecessary; ribs protect the heart, but wrap the abdomen with a belt! Fish skin over beast skin. It's smooth, deflects blades. Watch this."

He pulled out his weapon and spent hours exploring techniques with Malkina, who tidied up his messy hair and outfit as they chat. They enjoyed themselves immensely.

Conditions:

Result:

You called Raed over.
The moment Raed entered, Malkina gasped with delight. The Leader of the Vagrants perfectly embodied the "heroic rogue" she imagined: fierce eyes, a massive spiked mace, teeth like a wild beast! She eagerly recorded every detail, hardly needing him to speak.

Conditions:

Result:

You called Princess Raedina over.
When Princess Raedina entered, Malkina was taken aback. She expected a street brawler, not a princess draped in pearls and silver.

The princess sat, smiled, and applied small white porcelain pieces to her teeth.

"See? Fiercer now?"

Malkina's eyes widened in astonishment.

The two women conversed eagerly for hours, exchanging admiration freely.

Conditions:

Result:

You called the actual outlaw over.
When [s2.name] entered, Malkina was thrilled. This was a real "hero," down to the letter.

She circled [s2.gender(him,her)], showering compliments like "so handsome" and "so manly," while meticulously noting his attire, movements, and expressions.

Before leaving, Malkina grabed [s2.name]'s hand and requested a demonstration of a sand-thief's classic opening line.

That day, every servant in your household witnessed a sand-thief bellowing outside a noble's study, "Hand over all your money!"

Conditions:

Result:

Is [player.name] truly heroic?
No need to seek anyone else. You are a figure well-known in the Dark Alley. Whatever Malkina wants to learn, she can learn from you.

You showed her scars from past brawls, reveal hidden weapons, and even called a retainer from the Guesthouse to explain, "[player.name]'s reputation outside."

She w as amazed, and insisted you include her next time you go out for a daring escapade. She can stab with a needle!

You silently vowed to avoid letting her anywhere near such chaos in the future.

Conditions:

Result:

This one might be heroic enough...but not the right choice to truly inspire Malkina.

Extra

A Conclusion on Heroism
Excited, Malkina draged you aside and began applying makeup on your face.

"I see. You can lift the outer corners of the eyes that makes you look fierce! Darken the complexion, arch the eyebrows, droop the corners of the mouth... all facial lines must be sharp and pronounced, no soft shadows allowed!"

Her techniques were likely effective that the servant delivering the hookah recoiled at your appearance.
