◣ Quest NPC Contact ◢

Below is a place to thread out quick little conversations with the NPCs that aren't worth an entire log. Vatheon's staple NPCs will have postings here, and all the other new quest NPCs will simply be listed under the "Quest NPCs" comment header. Please put in the subject line which quest you're talking with an NPC about!

[stridercentric]

[Yes! Stories! Bro used to tell Dave stories all the time when he was a little kid. They were tales of incredible epic and irony, if he does say so himself. He's got this.

Knock knock, there's a Rogue on your doorstep.]

Sup ma'am. I'm here to put your kid to sleep with the best bedtime story of all time.

[stayb100ponyboy]

Thank you.

[He crosses his arms solemnly over his chest.]

How can I improve my skills as a cleric?

[stayb100ponyboy]

You're being foolish. This wall isn't doing anything but upsetting your sister. Even if you wanted to defend your territory from each other, the building techniques you used are sloppy at best. You should have [oh no, here he goes, talking about building techniques and mechanics. halp halp this isn't helping!]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[So obnoxious.]

You're welcome.

[And he stomps off to go find the inn, having already used his allotment of Faith for the day.]

[replicatedcourage]

[That was the best night of sleep ever.]

that was the best sleep i ever got and i feel ready to take on anything! these new pillows are even better than the other ones so thank you very much

[Why yes, he did notice.]

[replicatedcourage]

[He thanks her mightily for the health potion and promises not to run off too fast next time, then promptly goes to get some healing because ow mandrakes.

The next day he's back again with another bundle and in better shape than the day previous. No mandrakes this time! True to his word, he doesn't run off right away either.]

Here you go. Sorry it was a little slower this time but I figure it was better to pace myself and be ready in case another monster popped out like yesterday.

[replicatedcourage]

Oh, sure, okay.

[He turns to the sister for a sec.]

Don't let the cake burn, okay? And no one can have any until everyone's together, alright? Thanks.

That said, Sola leaves the house and goes around to the window that leads to the other brother's half of the room. He'll just knock here to get his attention.]

Hello?

[replicatedcourage]

[More mess? This is ridiculous! Gonna clean that right up again.. then actually go in the bakery to get something for breakfast. Don't worry, he washed his hands first.]

How come people keep knocking over your trash?

[dualbladewarrior]

My party... ?

Well, at the moment it only consists of me, another cleric and a mage. It's been... interesting, to say the least.

[And by "interesting" he means they're a walking disaster waiting to happen.]

[parasolspinning]

It's... well, I won't lie. I miss my own abilities more than I thought I was going to, and I'm feeling a little out of my element. I'm used to things just... happening with a motion of my hand, no casting needed.

[He lets out a quiet little laugh at that, looking sheepish now that he's admitted it.]

I know, that probably sounds awful, like I'm taking being a mage at all for granted...

[ms_potts]

[She winces a little at that. Ow. Did she have to do that so hard?!]

Fair enough, I suppose. What will I have to do?

[ms_potts]

[She smiles.]

Don't you worry. I'll take care of him for you.

[she steps into the room and patiently waits for the boy to notice the stranger invading his space]

Hello. What's your name?

[ms_potts]

[She winces]

Oh that's a lot of glitter.

Um. Okay. Do you have any cleaning supplies?

[ms_potts]

[She sighs looking at that wall]

Alright, then. Could you introduce me? What are their names?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Man, this is nothing compared to how bad the Strider apartment gets. Luckily, he's good at getting glitter out, too, since Bro has done that one before.]

It's like nobody understands how fucking hard it is to get glitter outta everything.

[It takes him about an hour and a half for Davesprite to be satisfied and confident that he's gotten at least almost all of the glitter in a trash bag.]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Welp. Better this than going into combat as a squishy Cleric. This bites.]

Yo. Heard you needed some help with advertisement. I can do impressions, I guess?

[dashingloyalty]

[Oh, this sounds awesome!]

I do lots of different and awesome flying maneuvers, if you think that might help?

[devwocean]

[Welp, he heads up to the roof to do battle with the harpies.

He's probably not going to die. Uh. Probably.]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Davesprite stares at the costume. And then he stares at the casino owner.]

Please, tell me you're fucking joking.

[thekidsare0kay]

plea2e.
let me 2leep.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Man, if this wasn't for a Cleric skill....]

Hey. So. What exactly am I supposed to do to learn this Cleric skill from you?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

nice beds and way awesome food
seriously how did you make the shepherds pie that good
im practically in awe because damn
i cannot get it to taste that good ever
definitely coming back

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Minako was somewhat prepared to tell the best story ever, complete with hand movements and all.]

Once upon a time, there was this beautiful maiden, so beautiful it should have been a crime. [To prove a point she runs her own fingers through her hair. Could she have based the main character from herself, who knows. Quite possibly.] Anyway, people all around the world had noticed of this maidens beauty, especially the mean ugly lady that only lived down the lane and lived in a house that could quite mistakenly look like a shoe box and what frightened even the mice of this fair town. [She makes a face to express or try at least to express how ugly that woman could be, but finding it hard.]

This woman was jealous of the beautiful woman and wanted her to be the same as herself. Ugly on the inside and outside. So, one night when the young woman was asleep, the hag slowly crept up to the house, [She moved in slightly, with each movement she would move in a little more.] tuuuuurned the door handle, opened the door and made her way into the house. She was looking to do something, but first the nasty woman had to find out where she rested. It was a big house after all, unlike her small, nasty shoe box. So, she started up the stairs, the mice that were around nibbling at her ankles, trying to stop the woman from going further, but to no avail.

[Minako put two fingers on the bed to represent legs and walking.] The woman continued on her journey towards the young maidens room, hoping to cause harm to that pretty face and gorgeous locks of golden hair. As she slowly kept towards the room, she turned her head to find... [She pauses for suspense.] A ninja, hiding in the shadows that projected the lady at all costs. If that wasn't enough, a robot appeared next to the ninja, all prepared to risk their lives for her and take care of the mean old lady. [She crossed her arms, nodding. This was good stuff you know.] So they both grabbed the old bat and took her far away, so she couldn't try and harm the beautiful girl again. When the young lady woke up, the worst that had happened was a serious case of bedhead, which was treatable.

[She smiled slightly.] And she lived happily ever after, riding off into the sunset on a pet dinosaur, off to look for a prince that she could call hers. That's the end of the best story ever.

[thalassino]

[Ventriloquism, huh? Well, if it's done well it is very entertaining. He's going to have to check Bro's skills first, though.]

Show me what you've got, kid.
