Pandora frowned deeply as she stood before the guild's job board, arms crossed and head tilted ever so slightly as she tried to make sense of this peculiar request that had caught her eye. Calling it vague was the same as calling an iceberg an icecube, and aside from a where, it told her nothing more than just that. To go to the unknown lands, and to find and go through the portal hidden within a big tree. Not that hard, if it weren't for the fact that the unknown lands actually had multiple such trees; let alone the subtle way in which the client in question did not even add their name to the request, nor the reasons why they had to perform this seemingly simple stunt. Pass through the portal… portal to where exactly? What more was there to this that it wasn't included at all? Merely to "test" the taker of this quest? Quite the poor reason… very poor.
The redhead sighed as she regarded the request yet another time, like she'd done so many times before. Even though there were many other requests and jobs listed, this one always kept drawing her attention back to it. She could leave it for another to take and not bother herself with it any longer… but did she really want to? It was intriguing... and smelt very much like a trap. She could be wrong, but in the off chance she was't, did she want any of her guildmates to get caught up in something she could've taken care of herself instead? And if she were to take on the job in question… maybe it'd be better not to try investigating this portal all by herself.
With a deep sigh she leant back against her table, half-sitting on it in the process, and contemplated the who's and what's of this entire endeavour. Pride aside, she knew better than to drag anyone else into this thing, but she'd made the mistake of going into an unknown situation head first without an extra pair of eyes and a good pair of fists to help watch her back.
