◣ 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!

[Freakshow? Rude.]

Well... [He WAS thinking of archery displays-]

[But who is he kidding, he can't resist an urge to heavy lift things, and he knows Arty can't either.]

We would be more than pleased to do that. Do you have anything in particular to lift, or will we have to find such things ourselves?

[thalassino]

Just about anything works, as long as it looks really impressive! Hey, maybe that... muscle...

[What should he call that?]

Maybe he could lift you over his head and you could hold a poster! You've got a flashy outfit, anyway.

[aim_exorable]

Musclebeast.

[Just a friendly correction.]

I suppose... What if I did the reverse? I'm rather confident I can lift Arty up.

[Arty gives a confirmatory nod. Listen, their hive has stairs, and it was a bit tricky getting down. Thus... Well, now they know!]

[thalassino]

What? Lift up that musclebeast?

[Look, he can use its name! Sort of.]

If you can do it, that would be something to see, wouldn't it?

[aim_exorable]

I imagine it would be. If you have difficulty believing it, then I can give you a demonstration.

[He starts to stretch a bit, just in case.]

[thalassino]

[He's waiting, Darkleer. No way he's going to send a failed sideshow out to the plaza as advertisement.]

[aim_exorable]

[You asked for it.]

[After making sure that Arty is all good to go, no need to step aside for certain musclebeast business or that his udder is sore, Darkleer crouches down besides him. He takes great care in positioning himself; he doesn't want to be in the wrong place and make Arty kick out from discomfort or something. Once he's certain of himself, he takes in a deep breath and begins to slowly... slowly... slowly lift the musclebeast up.]

[Once he has Arty off the ground, then he starts to lift with his legs, raising his companion higher up the more he goes. Soon enough- hot damn, that sure is a lifted up musclebeast being held of his head! Darkleer's muscles are flexing STRONGLY and there are bits of sweat dripping down his jaw and throat.]

[Normally this would be a lot easier for him, but still, he can do it.]

[thalassino]

[The owner stares in shock. He thought the guy was bluffing! That beast has to weigh at least a thousand pounds! He can't handle this much STRENGTH! Give him a second.

Okay, he's got this.]

You're hired! I mean, you can take the quest! Whatever.

[With a huff, Darkleer sets down Arty as gently as he can. While the musclebeast hurries to get a glass of milk ready, Darkleer nods to the carnival owner.]

Thank you kindly.
