There's weird and then there's WEIRD.

There's a dog in the Nexus.

It's small, a breed of toy poodle by the looks of it, and is nosing around various garbage bins, sometimes overturning them to paw through the contents. It looks pretty lean and is probably hungry!

One might be tempted to approach it and check it for tags or offer some scraps. Right up until it turns around and you get a look at its face. Its clearly human, likely middle-aged man's face. Y I K E S. It's even wearing glasses.

Still, the thing acts as skittish and furtive as any stray dog would. And there's no denying that it's clearly malnourished, going on how thin it looks. After another bin is tipped over and yields no edibles, it looks towards the forum with trepidation. He won't compromise his presumed safety of staying near an alleyway in the event he needs a quick escape, but asks:

"Does anyone have any food?"

What! Can he not even succeed at a heroic entrance? He didn't even tempt fate by posing dramatically in high places this time. Lady Luck, thou art truly unkind. But no, this is no time for despair. Later, perhaps. But not now. No, now he must stand strong, for clearly there has been bullying and dishonor afoot. It absolutely rubs him the wrong way...he won't stand for it! Such a challenge must be met!

"Worry not, friend! I have no quarrel with you; I am but a wanderer." A lone, mysterious wanderer. Super mysterious. Just look at this hat! "The only trouble I seek is tests of my skill, and I say again I will use that skill to aid you, if you will have my help."

Lone, mysterious and helping the downtrodden! This is it!
