◣ 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!

[Once she delivers the note to her husband, he's... not entirely sure what to think of it! But he thinks that's a smiley face at the end, and who doesn't love fish puns?

The next time Feferi stays at the hotel, she'll find an mp potion with a note attached on her pillow - "for the terribubbly sweet cleric".]

[terribubbly]

T)(anks for t)(e potion! 38)
I'm sure I'll find it R-E-ELY )(-ELPFUL!!!
Perks make everyt)(ing so muc)( cooler, I'm going to tell all my friends to s)(oal up and come on over!
T)(ey'll all love it!

[ Each night is going to get progressively weirder, and this is proof. Exclamation mark abuse is serious business. ]

[thalassino]

[Oh Feferi, never change. The next time she visits, she'd find some chocolates on her pillow (he got the idea from Devit) along with a note:

"These will PERK!! you up!"

Yes, they restore a little stamina. And they might have a fishy flavor. The locals are trying to get rid of those still.]

[terribubbly]

T)(at candy was fintastic!
T)(ey definitely P----ERK-ED me rig)(t up!
I could barely sleep most of t)(e nig)(t, but your sleeping rectangles are so comfy t)(at I splas)(ed rig)(t into dreamland once I settled down.
38D I )(ope everyfin is going as swimmingly for you as it is for us!

[thalassino]

[Who's the manager's favorite little troll? Feferi is! Since she seems to like fish and water based things so much, the next time she goes up to the room she's been staying in, she'll find a water bed right alongside the regular bed (just in case she doesn't like it). If she sleeps in the water bed, she'll regenerate mp faster for the next day.]

just catching up, two days in one

[terribubbly]

OMGOMGOMG! I loved t)(e bed!
Can I stay )(ere FOR-EV-ER?

[ And the next day: ]

My FOR-EV-ER t)(ing still stands!
T)(is is t)(e most fun I've )(ad in Vat)(eon.
38D

[thalassino]

[He leaves her another note: "That would be nice! But usually we want people to get comfortable in their own homes, so you can't stay once the curse is over. :<"

He's pretty sad. Maybe he should talk to his wife about having children, this is fun. He leaves her some more mp potions, at any rate!]

[terribubbly]

I GU-ESS t)(at makes sense, but maybe you could )(ave vacation weeks?
I'm going to miss t)(is w)(en the curse is over. 38(
And if you )(ave )(olidays or somefin, everyone will reel in all t)(e newbies for you!

[thalassino]

[Unfortunately, once this curse is over they may not behave exactly like this...

Either way, she gets another little note.

"We'll talk to the administration about it! By the way, you should keep that boy in his place until he marries you properly. Use this."

On her pillow is a new staff that increases her mp when equipped. It also does double damage to anyone trying to get into her pants! Not that that is relevant to the sort of fights she'll be in during this curse, but hey.]

[terribubbly]

38D
38D 38D 38D 38D 38D
T)(is was t)(e best present -EV------ER!
)(e)(e)(e! I'll keep )(im in line, don't worry!
)(e'll be a proper fiance (t)(at's t)(e rig)(t word, rig)(t?) all t)(e way up until we get married!

And after, too, because OMG I am not ready for t)(at step in our relations)(ip.
T)(at'd be just crazy.

[terribubbly]

Wow! W)(atever those weird sticky strips are, t)(ey're amazing!
Sollux is so much QUI-ET-ER now!
We're definitely going to need to net some more of t)(ose later on.
T)(anks so much!

[thalassino]

[Oh, that was from the wife! Here, she'll help.

"They're called breathe right strips! They usually sell them at the drug store but it seems like the stocks on everything are all weird for this curse. Everything is a bit off, actually. Strange, isn't it?"

She leaves a box of the strips for Sollux and Feferi.]

[terribubbly]

-Even w)(en it's a little inconvenient, I t)(ink everyt)(ing is still way more fun!
T)(anks for t)(e t)(ingies!
You know w)(at would make t)(is )(otel even better?
(Not t)(at t)(ere's muc)( you can do, it's practically perfect!)
Bubble bat)(s!
After a long day of getting all slimy and gross, I bet a splas)( in some bubbles would be great.
And it's perfect because you'd be getting in bubbles IN T)(-E BUBBL-E!
)(e)(e)(e)(e, I krill myself sometimes.

[thalassino]

[Only magical RPG npcs can take suggestions and fill them the next day. For the last few days of the curse, Feferi's room will have a small jacuzzi instead of the usual tub and three choices of bubble bath: Merryberry Mana, Strawberry Stamina, and Huckleberry HP. Everyone loves increased regeneration!]

[thekidsare0kay]

plea2e.
let me 2leep.

[thalassino]

[Sollux gets a sticky note this time: "Maybe you shouldn't be staying in the same room as a young girl! We aren't THAT sort of inn."

Hush, he's becoming fond of Feferi.]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Hey! He sends a note down in response to this sticky note]

excu2e me.
we're getting human married and everything, 0kay?
d0n't even g0 there.

[thalassino]

[This one is a note from the manager's wife, in scrawly, girly text.

"Dear, marriage means never properly sleeping again. The sooner you learn this, the better."]

[thekidsare0kay]

what?
i2 there anything G00D ab0ut getting human married?
be2ide2 the party at the beginning, that i2.

[thalassino]

[Now there's a note from both parties. From the wife:

"Oh, the wedding is definitely one of the best parts, but the honeymoon is even better! And having someone to stick with you through thick and thin is a wonderful thing.

Just, the snoring and all the tossing and turning at night is really quite a hassle."

From the husband:

"I sleep much better now that we're married! And I always get to wake up to my wife's lovely face. If you love a girl, you should marry her to show her that you're serious!"]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Okay, this is getting weird]

yeah, uh.
i d0n't think i 2n0re.

[thalassino]

[Just in case, Sollux will find some breathe right strips on his pillow. Though, if he wears them during the curse, he'll find they greatly increase his stamina regeneration for a day... unfortunately, there's no note to that effect, so he probably won't ever find out.]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Says you! He does indeed try them, and the next day comes another small note]

thank2.
i feel better.

[thekidsare0kay]

[And on the back of the note]

plea2e d0n't give her anything that'll keep her awake 0r make her hyperactive.
2he'2 way t00 excited a2 it i2.

[thalassino]

[No bonuses for you, Sollux. Don't be a party pooper!]
