The Pink Goblin Woman

Maria made her choice slowly wandering up to the pink goblin woman, before she could even begin to ask the question the woman turned giving her a big smile.

"Hiya! Welcome to Meg's Alchemicals! I'm Meg of course, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, uh, I'm Maria, I was just wondering if you could tell me where I am?"

"Well you're in the Aphrodite Market Plaza, specifically at Meg's Alchemicals, where I sell my potions and the like, which can do great work for you if you're looking to expand your tits."

Maria's face flushed, "Sorry, uhm, not interested. I meant more generally? Because I don't think I'm from here."

"What?"

"I uh, don't think I'm from this planet? World? where ever this is? Because I've never seen anyone who looks like you before, or like anyone at all in this marketplace."

"So your from a different world, which is plausible I suppose, given your general appearance. I mean I've never seen anyone like you before, not exactly, closest thing is an elf, and even that's a number of degrees separate from you. Which is interesting. I guess this is Lustvale then."

"Do you know about like, getting me home?"

"Nope. Could see if some of my mage friends know anything if you like. But I don't think that's a thing most people can do."

Maria frowned, that seemed like an unfortunate sign, she might need to learn how to get herself home entirely on her own.

"Hey! You're from a different world right? So, no one's ever used you for alchemical ingredients?"

"Uh, no." Maria's eyes narrowed at the goblin.

"Well how'd you like to be my assistant, a place to stay in exchange for allowing me to use ya for potions and maybe test some potions on ya?"

"Uh, wait, so what would you be using for potions?"

"Essence, things like hair, blood, other fluids, etc. We'd run some tests to determine which had the most potent effects, and of course how useful or desirable those effects were before doing most of the harvesting. Wouldn't be anything major though."

Maria paused, a place to stay could be useful, but getting used for experimentation sounded a little questionable.
