Should I be concerned that the Robot woman looks like us except with pink hair and robot parts?

No. Why would you ever get that idea? She doesn't seem like she's the kind of robot who rises up and slaughters her human masters. She's more like the kind that goes on a journey of self-discovery and learns what love is.

_{Roubis/HELP OTP}

[Sirus]

I'm not sure what OTP is, and right now I'm not gonna go googling strange acronyms due to being on a school network
Anyway, Yuri decides to intervene and help the poor cosmetics salesman!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

: I can't just let a big gang like that beat up on one guy! Let's help him out.

: Yeah! Now you're talkin'! C'mon! Raaaaagh!

*SMASH!*

Bar Patron 1: Huh?! Who the Grus are you guys?!

: It's over. Leave him alone.

Bar Patron 2: What the Grus?! *SMACK!* Aagh!

Bar Patron 1: You little bastard! You'll pay for that!

: Ow! Why, you!

*SO MUCH FIGHTING SOUND*

Bar Patron 1: Gaaagh!

: Ha ha ha! Get 'em, kiddo! *sirens and running footsteps* Huh?

: All right, what's going on here?!

: Kalymnos Sector Security Agency! Break it up right now! Stop, or we'll shoot!

: Uh oh.

*fadeout*

: All right, I think we understand the situation now. So you got yourselves involved in a little tavern brawl, eh?

: I'm really sorry.

: Ha ha ha! Well, boys will be boys, right? Anyway, it doesn't look like any of you got seriously injured. I suppose we can just let you go.

: Really? Thank you, sir!

: Hey, wait a minute, Pappas. Don't you think we ought to at least write up a report?

: Nah, there's no need for that. We're off duty anyway. All right, folks. Enjoy your stay in Kalymnos.

*With a wave, the two Security Agency officers leave*

Yuri's Combat experience increased by 20! Torlo's Combat experience increased by 20!

And now, we can talk to the trader to see what the Grus happened.

: Thank you very much for helping me out. My name is Paulo Marjeno, and I'm from the trade planet Kashtano, in the nation of Nova Nacia.

: That was pretty unfair of them, to pick on you like that!

: Heh heh. Yes, well, I guess that Nova Nacions aren't too popular over here, to say the least. That kind of thing happens all the time.

: How come they don't like Nova Nacions?

(ian): One hundred and twenty years ago, Nova Nacio was founded by immigrants who came from the LMC nation of Nacio. But the sector these immigrants settled into was an area that Kalymnos discovered, and had planned on migrating to themselves.

: So I guess, from the Kalymnian point of view, it's like we came in and stole the sector away from them. The two nations even fought a war over it at the time.

: Oh, wow.

: Anyway, I'm very grateful to all of you. I'd like to give you a small token of my gratitude, for helping out a fellow in need.

*Paulo holds out a currency card marked "100G."*

: (...)

It's not much, but should we take it? Vote!

[monk12]

Don't take it! The XP is the REAL reward... and it might not be the best thing to accept money from the Nova Nocians.

[Itnetlolor]

Sometimes, being the noble hero and not taking the money can get you more than the initial reward. Then again, it could be my genre savviness speaking up.

EDIT:

Should I be concerned that the Robot woman looks like us except with pink hair and robot parts?

No. Why would you ever get that idea? She doesn't seem like she's the kind of robot who rises up and slaughters her human masters. She's more like the kind that goes on a journey of self-discovery and learns what love is.

Roubis/HELP OTP

I can't help but, thanks to all the penguin avatars, think of HELP as a penguin now.

[Frumple]

Yeah, bugger the cash.

Anyway OTP just means One True Pairing, or something along those lines. Indicates an assertion of romantic entanglement between the named. Pretty common term around fan fiction and fandom discussions, from what I understand. Next step after that is stuff like OT#, for polyamorous relationships -- the number being whatever number of characters involved.

[Sirus]

Oh, well that's not so bad. I previously mentioned how I try to avoid those kinds of fandom/pairing discussions, partly because they can go in some strange and disturbing directions. Therefore, I don't know the lingo

[Sheb]

Money is money. I'd rather have racketed the man, but this will do. Take the card.

[Boksi]

Personally, I'm going to go with the "don't accept it" option because that's just the kind of person Yuri strikes me as.

Also, according to this manual, Yuri is only 16 years old. Kira is 14, and Alik(that kid with hair covering his eyes who travels with the old tactical genius dude) is 7. Yeah, 7 years old. That's a bit young, don't you think?

[Bluerobin]

I dunno, there's a bit of a shady feeling to it. Don't take the money.

[Sheb]

 Come on: did we ever refuse money before? No, we didn't.

[Blaze]

Accept Money
Refuse Money
> Seize Goods.

Seriously, 100 is a pittance, turn it down in hopes we get something more substantive. If we don't, it wouldn't bother us much.

[Sirus]

Sorry for the delay folks, minor technical difficulties on my end. I'll give you the Quicknotes version:

Yuri: Dude, it's cool, we just wanted to help.
Paulo: Dude, like, it's part of Nova Nacion culture to, like, reward those who help you. Take it, man.
Yuri: (...)

tl;dr, Paulo still wants us to take the money. Yes or no?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is not a "but thou must" situation. Last time he'll ask.

[Frumple]

Nyaargh, no means no, toiletry salesman. Go away!

[Sheb]

Take the money. We like money.
