Walkthrough

1. A letter from Eshe arrives in your mailbox. Eshe claims that Kenyatta has been 'making a ruckus' and would like you to 'talk some sense into her'.
2. Upon talking to Kenyatta, you will learn that she and Eshe have been fighting for awhile. Kenyatta's stressed out over the pressure to finally declare her Path. While she does not have an interest in her family's Path in governance, she feels gardening could be fun.
3. Bring Kenyatta some crop seeds!
   • You must bring 1 of each (Onion, Carrot, Tomato Plant, and Potato seeds).
   • You can use what you already have in your storage or purchase them from Zeki's General Store.
4. Find Kenyatta and hand her the seeds. Then wait to hear back from her.
5. Kenyatta contacted you via mail. Find her immediately to mourn the death of all of her plants with her.
6. It seems like she discovered that gardening is not her Path and she is still figuring things out. Suggest either designing clothes or furniture making.

Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter From Eshe

Dear (Player),
I hear you and my daughter are becoming friendly. Normally I would frown on this sort of fraternizing...but I must admit I need your help. My daughter has been very upset as of late, and has been making quite the ruckus. She even used a salad fork for her steak last night...on purpose! Could you please talk some sense into her???

Eshe

Progression

Upon speaking to Kenyatta

Player

Your mom sent me to talk to you.

Kenyatta

Oh, this oughta be good if she sent someone else to do her dirty work.

What is it?

Player

She's mad about silverware?

Kenyatta

Oh my dragon, is this about the salad fork? She's ridiculous!

I can't do anything without her criticizing me, seriously. Who cares what kind of fork I use as long as it gets to my mouth??

Player

She thinks you're rebelling.

Kenyatta

She does, huh? Wonder what it's about this time. Did I cut my hair a little too short? Oh, maybe I stayed out too late?

No, you know what, I bet it was the fork. I knew that'd drive her crazy.

Ugh. Sorry, I know I sound like a total spoiled rich girl. Some people have actual problems, and here I am fighting with my mom.

It just... doesn't really seem fair. Her getting to decide everything about my life.

She's been pressuring me about declaring my Path. Apparently I'm "too old" to still be figuring my life out.

Player

Why haven't you declared yet?

Kenyatta

Because I don't know what I want yet. If my mom had her way, I'd go into governance. But that'd make me miserable.

Is it so much to want to be happy with the thing I'll be doing for the rest of my life?

Player

That IS unfair.

Kenyatta

You think so?

...Thanks, (Player). It's nice to know I'm not being totally ridiculous.

I just... want a chance to figure out what I actually like, first, before I decide to do it for the rest of my life.

Player (Fire)

Maybe I can help?

Kenyatta

Hmmm...

Y'know, I always kinda thought gardening sounded fun. Nai'o always seems so happy after a day of work.

Maybe that could be my Path? But I don't have any seeds or anything to try it out.

Do you think you could bring me some? I'll be sure to pay you back.

Upon giving Kenyatta the crop seeds

Player

I brought the seeds.

Kenyatta

Cool! So I just... stick them in dirt and wait? That doesn't sound so hard.

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks, (Player).

Here, this should cover the cost.

Letter from Kenyatta

Dear (Player),
You are formally invited to the funeral of all my plants. Someone else has to mourn the death of my dreams with me. I don't even know what went wrong, I watered them every ten minutes? How does my dad make this look so easy??

Kenyatta

Conclusion

Mourning with Kenyatta

Kenyatta

So, turns out gardening sucks, and I hate it, and I'm never doing it again.

Player

That was fast.

Kenyatta

Yeah, well. No point killing more plants just because I'm being stubborn.

Player

I know, it's so boring!

Kenyatta

Right? Like, what, I'm just supposed to sit there? Watch the grass grow?

Player

I'm in shock AND awe!

Kenyatta

Ha, ha. You coulda told me how boring it was before you gave me the seeds.

Player

It's not for everyone.

Kenyatta

Yeah, I figured that one out.

So, gardening's not my thing. That's fine, there's plenty of other things to try, right?

...

What else do people do?

Player

Have you tried designing clothes?

Kenyatta

Clothes, huh? I mean, I've always liked buying them.

Yeah, why not? I can ask Jel to give me some tips tomorrow.

It's so hard to find anything in my style out here anyways, might be kinda nice to make my own stuff.

Thanks, (Player). You're not so bad, y'know?

Player

Maybe you could try furniture making?

Kenyatta

Huh. I mean, sure, I guess everyone needs to sit, and someone has to make the chairs.

But then I'd have to ask Tish...

Ugh. Fine! But if she asks me to wear matching flowers I'm quitting right there.

Thanks, (Player). You're not so bad, y'know?

Notes

• Players will get unique dialogues from either Jel or Tish depending on the option they suggested to Kenyatta.
