Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon speaking to Badruu

Badruu

No, it’s not here either… Player! My favorite spuddy! You’re just who I needed to see right now.

Say, you haven’t seen that charm you and Auni made me around anywhere, right?

Player

You lost it?

Badruu

I don’t see how I could. I kept it on me every day! I only took it off to sleep…

Player

Not since I handed it over.

Badruu

That’s what I was afraid of. See, I’ve been keeping on me every day. I’ve only taken it off to sleep.

But it just poofed! Maybe Delaila's right about the muujin living in our attic...

I know it seems silly to get caught up on a little charm, but having it makes me feel better.

Just knowing you and Auni believed in me enough to want to make me something like that...

Well, it gave me the courage to enter a competition in Bahari! Playing in front of h-hundreds of people...

Now that it’s gone, I don’t know what to do.

I don’t think I can’t {sic} go on stage without it. What if I play the wrong notes? Or forget the lyrics? What if my pants fall down?

If you manage to find it, give me a holler, wouldja? I’ll come running. And if I don’t, just holler louder!

Upon speaking to Auni

Auni

Okay, so you know how we made that charm for my dad and he was super excited about it?

Well Nai’o and I convinced him to enter this competition in Bahari with the song he wrote. There’s a HUUUUGE prize, and a buncha really important people are gonna be there!

So I thought I’d better beef the charm up again and recharge it, you know? So that it’s got enough power for the competition. I was just trying to follow the instructions in the book, I swear–

Player

Whoa, slow down. What happened?

Auni

I kinda... sorta... busted it.

Player

Uh oh!

Auni

Oh yeah... I kinda, sorta... busted it.

I wanted to make another one, but... the spell in the book said it HAD to be on a night when the two moons were full.

And the next one is AFTER the competition.

I don’t know what to do! Dad’s saying he can’t go to the competition without it!

Player

Are you sure it even worked?

Auni

It had to. Before he got the charm, he wouldn't even play outside the barn. He's been waaaay more confident!

Player

We tell the truth.

Auni

I mean... I GUESS. But I don’t want to be the one who ruined everything.

I wish there was some kind of replacement we could get him...

Wait! Maybe there is!

You know that scary lady who lives in the woods out in Bahari? I heard she knows all sorts of things about this stuff.

Maybe we could get her to help.

= Progression

Upon asking Tamala for help

Player

I need your help.

Tamala

Oh? it's wise to come to me, I can be quite helpful when I want to be.

What is it you need?

Player

(explain situation)

Tamala

I see... how cute, you and the postboy made this yourself?

The craftsmanship isn't bad... hmmm.

I can repair it. For a fee.

Player

It better be reasonable.

Tamala

When am I unreasonable? You wound me, (Player).

Anyway all I need is water from an ancient spring, dirt from a deep cave, and air from the highest spire.

I don't see how that could be construed as unreasonable.

Player

There's always a catch.

Tamala

Why, Player, do I detect a hint of sarcasm? I don’t have to help, you know.

Anyway all I need is water from an ancient spring, dirt from a deep cave, and air from the highest spire.

Player

What kind of fee?

Tamala

Oh, nothing too demanding. I am sure you'll be able to meet my lofty expectations.

All I need is water from an ancient spring, dirt from a deep cave, and air from the highest spire.

Player

You got it!

Tamala

Your enthusiasm is noted and appreciated.

Alll [sic] I need is water from an ancient spring, dirt from a deep cave, and air from the highest spire.

Upon returning to Tamala with the items

Player

I got all the ingredients.

Tamala

And I have finished repairing the charm. You will find it works just the same as it did before.

I enjoyed our little transaction, darling. I hope you didn't find it too challenging.

Upon showing Auni the repaired charm

Player

I got the charm fixed.

Auni

You did? You did! This looks awesome!

Whew, that was almost a diaster.

Okay, I'll go distract dad, and you sneak into a hay bale in the barn!

Conclusion

This dialogue is only present if the Player chooses to give the charm to Badruu.

Upon giving the charm to Badruu

Player

(Tell Badruu the truth about the charm.)

Badruu

He did what?

That little rascal. I remember what it was like at that age.

Still, he and you fixed it up good as new. I can't even tell it's not the same!

Well, all's well that ends well! I'm not much for giving lectures on harmless mistakes, so let's just say I found this in the hay bale, huh?

Thanks for helping out, (Player). If I win that competition, I'll be sure to split the winnings with you!

Post-Quest

Letter from Auni

Dear (Player),
Thanks again for saving my hide! Dad's got his confidence back and I'm not in trouble! That lady must have supercharged the charm, because I think dad's even MORE confident than he was before! Here, I snuck some more veggies from my family's secret stash. It's a win-win. You get veggies, and I don't hafta eat 'em.

Auni

Letter from Badruu

Dear (Player),
The dinner...and the performance was a success. Serenading my Delaila made me feel like a younger, happier man again. At least...for the night. Thanks again. I'll never forget it.

Badruu

Notes

• Although the Player talks to Badruu first, the quest will officially initiate once the Player talks to Auni on their plot.
• Players will not see the ending dialogue with Badruu if they choose to hide the Repaired Confidence Charm in the barn! There might be optional special dialogue when choosing to "Chat with Badruu".
