Meanwhile, somewhere up in the sky, an airship was lazily coasting along. Inside of it, Final Fantasy was sitting behind the steering wheel. Lately, he just didn't feel like himself. In the past, he had gone on great adventures across countless places, defeating monsters best left undescribed to spare the minds of the feeble ones, and had gathered vast amounts of miscellaeous crap loot. But recently, he just had nothing to do. The world was mostly peaceful, there were no major problems; there weren't even Goblins that pestered random travellers anymore! Oh, if only he had something to do!
As if the Goddesses of Fate and the RNG were listening in to him, it was exactly then that the music on his radio suddenly cut out, making place for something quite different.
<"Welcome back, listeners. A warning has been issued for Fandom Square. It appears there has been an outbreak of something called Trickster Mode, a deadly disease that is highly contagious. I repeat, it is highly contagious so avoid anyone who is infected. Symptoms primarily consist of rampant, giddy happiness and bright happy colors.

FF's eyes went wide; this sounded like a quest! He needed to find some kind of medicine to cure this illness and save everyone. Logically, the medicine he needed was stored away in a cavern or something far away from the actual problem, conveniently stored in a special-looking treasure chest, likelet guarded by a boss monster -- or at the very least a slightly stronger Fixed Encounter. Maybe it was even in the real world! It would be an adventure with an actual goal to it, just like the old times!
Of course, he would need to find some party members first; after all, going into a dungeon solo was generally a bad idea. Which, of course, raised the next question: Where to recruit said party members? Right now the Fandomverse itself sort of counted like a dungeon, with poisonous enemies potentially hiding anywhere. No, going into the city without some kind of protection was suicide too. Which left the Real World. Hopefully he could find someone there. And if not, well, he could always level grind a bit before going through the dungeon to cover for his lack of party members.
A decision having been reached, the RPG fandom increased the power of his airship, speeding off in a random direction before disappearing from sight, reappearing somewhere in the real world.
A short while later, FF was walking around in a random town in the real world, searching for Party Members -- and, now that he was here, random treasure lying around in boxes,barrels and dead-end roads. He had already found four copper coins, two gold ones and one of a combination of different metals, and although he didn't know their exact value, he figured that he should at least be able to buy a Potion or Antidote or something for this.
As for possible Party Members... As plot convenience would have it, there was someone right down there! Unique model, which meant he was either an important enemy or a party member (hopefully the latter, because walking into a Boss right now would not be good). Going by his looks, he seemed to be a Knight class or something; at the very least, something that was capable of using Heavy Armor. Either way, the armor was obviously special, maybe even enchanted or something, which meant that the guy must have had a decent amount of battle experience: after all, you don't get armor like that in a random store, at least not in the beginning of a quest. Sadly, that still didn't say anything about his alliance... Well, FF had to start somewhere; although he didn't really like the concept of luck, he was forced to try his now.
"Uh, Sir?" he called out after the knight-in-colourful-armor. "You, in the red-blue armor! My name is Final Fantasy, and I would like to request your help. The Fandomverse has been strucken by a deadly curse, and we need to find the antidote. Would you join me on this Quest?"
