[ Look, Lina doesn't ask for very much in life. A warm bed to sleep in at night, a nice, hot meal three times a day, access to all the magical lore she could possibly imagine and mountains upon mountains of gold -- that's not too much for a girl to wish for, is it? Honestly, she'll settle for the adventuring and the danger, since there's at least the promise of gold somewhere in there.
But being dumped in a grubby, dank station on some rock in space -- who puts things out in space? -- is not something she's willing to compromise over. Everyone here is rude, it's crowded, and it's dirty and ugh, it smells. For somebody used to being out in the open air all the time, the place has a stagnancy to it that Lina finds awfully unappealing, and although she's endlessly fascinated in the strange, light-based magic everyone seems to be using here, her interest is overshadowed with a strong sour note. And to top it all off, this place is a total freak show. There are humans here, too, but most of the people here look like hideous beastmen, or some kind of mass-produced chimeras or something. She really doesn't know what's up with that, but she wants to find out.
God, she hopes there aren't any fish people here.
Lina's curiosity might have actually gotten the best of her mood if it weren't for the fact that apparently her money is no good here. She has a purse full of perfectly good gold, and nobody here will take it! She doesn't exactly understand why anyone would rely on a currency system based on invisible money, but once she finds out about the omni-tool she figures it out pretty quickly. Only to discover that...she doesn't have a dime to her name in this world's currency.
And she is so hungry.
So if you see Lina getting into a fight with a few aliens over currency and food, don't be too surprised. ]
