◣ 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!

[He doesn't scare all that easily. To be quite honest he doesn't know what half the words she's saying mean, but from her tone he can pick up that something very exciting was happening in this story. Her arm? This is the story of her losing an arm? That's...

SO COOL!]

What happened then? Did you beat her?!

[shesapir8]

[Lets be honest half the time she makes little sense. Always choosing big words to make herself and her story seem more important. It really doesn't lend well to the story.

Though she herself is completely captivated by it, so when he starts to question her she blinks, frowning for a second]

The Neophyte? Oh she died easily. It was like swatting an insect, almost disappointing. She seemed like so much fun after all.

His Honourable Tyranny was more of a challenge in truth. The size of a seadwellers hiveblock and then some, and the teeth... As long as my arm [Stretches out the robotic one, the smooth metal catching the light a little] But he fell, just like her. Size is truly no match for speed and agility, and the Neophyte's blade was sharp enough to pierce the hide of him many times over. His death was slow and he grew so very angry before I finally gave him mercy and slit his throat.

[thalassino]

[This story probably isn't going to put the kid to sleep, but he really seems to enjoy it regardless.]

Woooah... what did you do then? Did you steal all their treasure and bury it somewhere?!

[shesapir8]

[Well actually, she didn't but...]

Yes. I buried it all, in a location only I could ever know, and then I left. I made my way to an old acquaintance who owed me much. I had saved his life a long time, when he failed to kill the lover of a rebel under the Empress's command. His failure to complete his task meant he would sentenced to death, but I in turn helped him escape and he went into exile. He owed me his very life for what I had done. But an arm would be a good start.

[stopping momentarily to work at her sleeve, revealing the clearly robotic arm underneath]

He was skilled in the area of robotics, and I tasked him with making me a new one for the one the Neophyte had taken. He worked, an as he did I made my plans for my future. The Neophyte had burned my fleet to the ground with her beast, and the sea was growing tired. The sky though... I had never taken control of the sky, and if I could find that beast, I'm sure I could.

[thalassino]

You could probly take control of the sky here 'cause it's like the ocean and you can swim in it and that's like flying and if you eat a watermelon you can breathe under the water so you could take control of it.

[He's climbing back on his bed to jump now. Story's over, right? He's got to train to become a super awesome pirate, he's got work to do!]

[shesapir8]

[She has no clue what to even say to that. Kids man. Weird as heck.

She does however, get up, catching him as he starts to bounce, raising an eyebrow as she holds him still, lifted off the bed.]

What do you think you're doing?

[thalassino]

I'm training to be a PIRATE!

[One would think he'd be frightened of her after a story like that, but he just seems excited.]

[shesapir8]

Are you know? Well trust me, no captain will want a pirate who isn't well rested. I suggest you go to sleep, and start on your illustrious career tomorrow.

[Sleep or else kid]

[thalassino]

[Sleep?! Sleep is for the weak! Sleep is for losers! He'll get around in bed and lay under the covers just to show her that he's totally well rested and that he doesn't need...

...sleep...

He's out the second his head hits the pillow.]

[shesapir8]

[And yet again, the winner is her. Haha suckers, Marquise;1, everyone else;0

She does at least stop to draw the covers over the boy a little better before leaving the room, a smug little smile on her face as she looks for the lusus of the boy. She has a payment to collect after all]
