"Hot. What r u wearing?" you type and hit reply.
You don't expect a response, especially so fast:
"This is serious."
"Suuuuuure," you type, uncertain if you used enough "U"s.
"Have you seen The Last Starfighter?" they ask.
"Nope."
"The Sword in the Stone?"
"Nope."
"The Lord of the Rings?"
"Nope."
"Read any YA books? Manga? The Bible? Any story where it's all on one person to save the world?"
"Nope."
You can almost hear the sigh as they type. "You've been chosen. Where can we meet?"
You're craving pie, so you tell them to meet you at the diner across the street. Flipping up the collar of your most spy-worthy trench coat, you head over to watch from your favorite booth.
As you wait for the waitress to bring coffee, three people enter. Very Matrix looking.
"That must be them," you think, and are immediately proven right when they crowd into your booth.
"We know what you look like," the tall woman informs you, exhausted. "We came to recruit you, remember? Which pie's best?"

"Apple crumble," you decide. They order slices of the other three pies.
A familiar-looking plaid-clad waitress brings your coffee and pie. She calls you "hon" and gives you an odd wink.
You shake off the deja vu and address the issue at hand: pie. Halfway to the crust, you address the second issue.
"Recruit me for what?"
"I thought we covered that," sighs the tall woman. "To save the world."
"From what?"
"Don't laugh. Elves."
You giggle.
"You have the skills we need. Name your reward."
