◣ 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!

[ So this whole quest thing RPG thing sounded pretty awesome. And he wanted to rack up as many points as he possibly could. Which is why he almost looked over THIS quest. No points? Pffft, no point to it then.

Buuuut... it was easy. Just talk to some chick, right? And then you get some skill. And more skills means quests are easier or some shit. Either way it couldn't hurt. He could spare a few minutes. Hell maybe it was some crazy awesome death ray beam! He'd be insane not to jump all over that. ]

Hey! I'm looking for The Chick in White. That's you, right?

[ She was wearing white! Then again there were a bunch of white wearing people around. But she had that sort of blatant 'I AM A QUEST NPC' look about her. ]

[thalassino]

[It's true, she does. It's almost like there's an icon floating above her head...

She turns to Devit with a long-suffering sigh. Who is this kid? Do they let anyone into the clergy nowadays?]

If you're looking for the cleric skill master, then yes. If you're looking for something else, don't waste my time.

[onebecametwo]

Yeah gorgeous, you're exactly the skill master I'm looking for.

[ ...Can't help to try and butter her up a LITTLE, right? ]

I hear you're the expert, so lay some wisdom on me!

[thalassino]

All right. Here's a little wisdom, kid.

[You ready for this, Devit? Got your notebook out and everything?]

People are idiots. They're going to run themselves ragged over and over again when just a little thought would have saved them - and you - so much trouble it's not even funny. But you know what? You've got to believe in yourself and your team anyway. Do you think you have that kind of faith?

[onebecametwo]

What? Course I do. You have no idea how much I believe in myself. I'm also working on turning my Heal into a Heal Punch. That'll make 'em think twice about fucking off and doing something stupid.

[ Combining the ability to heal someone's injuries while simultaneously smacking them for being an idiot. That is his goal. ]

[thalassino]

Cute, but they never learn.

[Oh, they never learn... she shudders slightly before turning her attention back to Devit.]

If you want to make it, you're going to have to try harder than that. When everything turns to crap and you feel like you can't keep going anymore, you pick yourself up and you pull on that reserve inside you and you just do it ANYWAY because no one else is going to. Without you they can't, but as long as you can keep on healing them, they can do anything, and you know it. That's faith.

[It might be the most egotistical concept of faith ever. Still, if Devit accepts what she has to say, he would find that via the magic of rpg mechanics he now knows how to use the skill Faith when the going gets tough.]

[onebecametwo]

[ Egotistical concept of faith is totally fine with him. In fact that's probably the only definition of 'faith' he's gonna take to heart. ]

Babe, you can fucking count on me.

[thalassino]

Here's hoping.

[Devit has learned the skill: Faith!]
