Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Jel

Dear (Player),
Hello my dearest patron. I am in need of some assistance for my latest design. I have sent you a key to my workshop. Perhaps you could stop by so I could show you my progress?

Jel

Attachment: Jel's Key

Progression

Optional: Upon speaking to Jel downstairs

Player

I thought you were gonna show me your progress...

Jel

Ah, yes. That's right. Just go upstairs to my workshop and I'll meet you post-haste.

Upon speaking with Jel in his bedchambers

Jel

So, here it is. The garment that will finally earn me the right to stitch my family name into my clothes.

Kenyatta's dress for the Bahari Bay Ball.

I have to say I've outdone myself this time. Those socialites will be thinking they stepped into an art gallery, not a mere dance!

So what do you think?

Player

It's perfect!

Jel

Really? You think so? You don't find the colors too garish? Or the neckline too vulgar?

Are you sure she can walk with the ridiculous train?

Ah, what was I thinking when I created this gown?

I must tear it up and start over at once!

Player

You don't have to start over. Maybe just add something?

Jel

You're right. Let me think what can I add?

What would you think of some piranha teeth around the neckline? That would look rather daring.

Player

It could use a little more edge.

Jel

You're right. Let me think what can I add?

What would you think of some piranha teeth around the neckline? That would look rather daring.

Player

It's perfect!

Jel

I know it is brilliant, isn't it?

But are you sure Eshe would like it? I made a commitment to make something for her, and I'm not sure I succeeded.

Oh, my mother's going to have my head. I must go back to the original design at once!

Oh, could you be a dear and fetch me some pearls for the buttons? I'm going to need a veritable boatload of buttons to cinch up this neckline.

Player

It could stand to be a little more...you.

Jel

I tried a version that was more "Eshe," but it kept making me thinking of something someone would wear to a wedding at a beige banquet hall.

But...you're right. That's what she would want.

I suppose I'll have to go back to my previous design.

Could you be a dear and go fetch me some pearls for the buttons? I'm going to veritable boatload of buttons to cinch up this neckline.

Conclusion

Upon speaking with Jel

Player

I got the teeth.

Jel

This will do perfectly.

Kenyatta will catch every eye in the ball with this dress.

Let's cross our fingers and hope that includes my mother's...

Oh, I almost forgot. I got you a little something to say thanks.

I caught this electric eel the other day and thought of you.

After all, our collaborations are simply electrifying.

Player

At least you stayed true to yourself.

Jel

More importantly, I stayed true to Kenyatta.

If this dress doesn't land her in the town gossip pamphlets, I don't know what will.

Player

I guess we'll see.

Jel

That we will.

Player

I got the pearls.

Jel

This will do perfectly.

Kenyatta will catch every eye in the ball with this dress.

Let's cross our fingers and hope that includes my mother's...

Oh, I almost forgot. I got you a little something to say thanks.

I caught this electric eel the other day and thought of you.

After all, our collaborations are simply electrifying.

Player

At least you learned how to make a client happy.

Jel

Yes, I did the best with what I had to work with.

But you know what they say, an Ormuu dressed in silk kaftan is still an Ormuu.

Player

I guess we'll see.

Jel

That we will.

Post-Quest

Upon returning to Jel after this quest, to ask him how the dress is coming along

Missing Earth dialogue response under Kenyatta's path, complete dialogue under Eshe's path.

Player

How is it going with the dress?

Jel

You should have seen me earlier, Player.

I was weaving the teeth into the train and it felt like the cloth was taking on a personality of its own.

No, no, it was as if the personality had always been there but I was just getting to know it. Helping to bring it to the surface.

And then...Eshe came to check on my progress. She was horrified!

Player

What did you do?

Jel

I lied. What else?

I told her the design was for another client, and that I'd have her dress by tomorrow.

Oh, what am I to do?

Player

Give Kenyatta the dress.

Jel

You're, of course, right. That would be the...courageous thing to do.

I will pray to the Dragon to give me the courage to stick by my art!

Player

Explain things to Eshe.

Jel

The magistrate would never listen to me! I'm nothing but a simple tailor.

No, it's my duty to follow my clients' wishes.

I am but a mere mortal. I should never have tried to dance among the stars!

Player

Leave town.

Jel

I know you say that in jest, but honestly...I'm considering it.

Player

How is it going with the dress?

Jel

To Be honest? I'm trying to get on board with the modest chic look, but it's honestly not my style.

My heart, dare I say, just isn't in it.

Player

Just keep at it.

Jel

You're Right! You're Right! I am a style Chameleon, and my heart belongs wherever the client desires it!

Player

You can always go back to your original design.

Jel

(TBA)

Player

I would hope not! You need your heart.
