C. Stand your ground. Tell Scarlett firmly that you want to hear the task first before you accept.
Day 3
You don't understand why Scarlett is being so secretive. It's probably just a cunning trick to manipulate you into accepting a notoriously hard task. You look at Scarlett, she's standing just a few feet away from you. You can see desperation in her eyes, but you don't take any pity, thinking it's just a scam. You silently gulp, and look straight ahead.
"Look Scarlett, I appreciate you doing this for me," you begin. "But I just can't accept any task without knowing the details. So you can just tell me everything I need to know, or the deal's off." Her hazel eyes, once gleaming with innocence, were now full of rage. She stares at you, taking in what you said. "No one talks to me like that!" She clenches her fists, and you decide to make a break for it.
Outside, it's the dead of night. You're all alone on that quaint little street, just like you were before. You sigh, wishing you never wasted the time to knock on Scarlett's door. To your right, you see the gate. On the other side is your home, your creatu, your life. To your left, the road continues. There doesn't seem to be any more signs of life. You close your eyes, hoping when you open them a magical Ezahni will suddenly swoop down and present you your dye kit, plus a couple billion tu. You quickly open your eyes, but nothing's changed. You're still there, on a deserted little road. Shuddering, you replay the scene of Scarlett's fit of rage in your head. Lunatic. You drowsily slump, wondering what would happen if you didn't provoke Scarlett's anger. Still, it's never too late to make amends! Hopefully. You ponder on what to do.
If you go back on the other side of the gate again, where your home is, you might catch Malcolm on one of his midnight shifts. He's well known for his shifty deeds when it's dark. Plus, it's way safer. Who knows what might happen to you if you continue down the road.
If you continue down the road, your Resmas might be saved. Sure, you might face a few dangers, but it would definitely be worth it to get your hands on that dye kit. You have to do whatever it takes!
If you try to make up with Scarlett, you might just have a new companion. If you manage to complete her task, great! You can collect your dye kit, go home, and forget about this whole episode. And if you don't, well, Scarlett's not magical. She can't harm you, and you can easily escape from her.
