Original Commentary
Finally, I mention the name of the game. I was originally going to have Jane ask him "Sorceress?" with either curiosity or apprehension, depending on the draft. Yes, it's kinda cheating for it to be a character profession that obviously denotes gender. I mean, if he had a spare level 56 thief, you couldn't immediately tell the gender from that. Jane's line in the second panel gave me such trouble when I was writing this. I think I got the point across, though - Terrence
Modern Commentary
I mean, it's sweet that he wants her to be part of this. Jane is entirely correct about this. Not easy to go from zero to "able to contribute meaningfully to a high-stakes event using a complicated character"
If Jane was playing other similar games on a high level or had a background with FBAO, she probably could've tagged along. But if she had joined, this would have ended with Robert yelling about how she needs to press the red button and Jane yelling about how there's six different red buttons
