Finches Are Still the Cutest

Main article: Finches Are Still the Cutest

Quest Description

Somewhere in Atocpan, you and Paimon run into a cheerful researcher slash merchant slash expert on adorable creatures. She invites you to play a game...

(Talk to Basima the Fifth)

(Basima is trying to playfully communicate with an Ancient Scarlet-Plume Finch)

Basima the Fifth: Chirp chirp! Coo coo! Chirp chirp chirp!

Paimon: Um... what's going on here?

Are you sending... some kind of secret message?

Or speaking in some kind of... code?

Basima the Fifth: Sort of! This is a technique I use to communicate with the cute little finches.

Basima the Fifth: Oh, I seem to have forgotten to say hello to you folks. And the all-important opening line.

Basima the Fifth: Kind Travelers passing through, I, Basima the Fifth, Amurta researcher, rising mercantile star, and expert on adorable animals, offer my heartfelt greetings.

Basima the Fifth: Please. Relax thy body, clear thy mind, and listen closely, for I have a matter of utmost importance to share with you—

Paimon: "Finches are the cutest"...?

Basima the Fifth: You're absolutely correct! Congratulations, looks like the Finch's cuteness got to you too. You're even jumping to answer right away!

Paimon: This is odd. Paimon's not sure why, but when she saw the game on the table, this line just popped into her head.

Paimon: Does this feel familiar to you too, (‍‍)?

We've met this lady before, right?

Basima the Fifth: You're right! And it wasn't just a brief encounter either. It warms my heart to see you both still so full of life!

We can start the "finches are the cutest" thing now, if you want.

Basima the Fifth: You got it! And even if you can't remember the past right now, that's fine. What matters is that you enjoy the present...

Basima the Fifth: Anyway, would you like to try this game? This is version 17 from the third generation of "Bing-Bang Finchball!"

Basima the Fifth: As you unwind and enjoy the game, you'll also get to hear wonderful stories of how the little finch, alongside the much, much bigger Ancient Scarlet-Plume Finch, triumphed over the gulls!

Paimon: Sounds awesome! We've always been huge fans of relaxing games!

Let's play right now!

Game start! Game start!

Basima the Fifth: Alright! I hope you find the way of playing that suits you best and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience!
