Two years later and I finally got around to playing this game. It's pretty fun! Also, Jessweee/Azar's walkthrough on the frontsite was super helpful.

You should all play this game. Mint is one of the most amusing characters I've ever seen in a video game. She cracked me up the whole time. I'm glad I played her story second, because Rue's story would have been disappointing if it had to follow that.
