Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon asking Jina about the key

Player
Hey, what is this thing?
Jina
Uh... Maybe we should take that out of the village. Like... now.
You... didn't try using this on any doors did you?
Player
Why?
Jina
That's an Unstable Unlocker. In simpler terms, a magic bomb.

Player
(Immediately drop the key on the ground)

Player
What!? I have to get rid of it.

Player
How can I set it off?!

Player
I bet I can defuse it!

Jina
No need for that. Please!
Hand that here... thank you.
It's a type of security. If the wrong person tries to open the wrong door with it... well...
Let's just leave it at "Kablooey".
Completely illegal, and completely magical.
I will take this somewhere... safer... than... leaving it with you.
Sorry. I tried to think of a nicer way to say that, but I was anxious about getting blown up.
If you want to help, I need you to find out more about its previous owner.
Ask around town about the guy who used to live on your plot. I think his name was Florencio... or something like that.
Certain information will be crucial to disarming this.

Progression

Asking various villagers about the previous owner

Player
I found a magic bomb on my housing plot!
Ashura
Sounds like Reth has been serving you too much soup lately.
Where'd you get this... "bomb"?
Player
A previous tenant forgot it outside my house!
Ashura
Previous tenant... you talking about Florentine?
He was always inventing weird little things. Every so often they were even useful.
He'd bring whatever he was tinkering with down to the Inn sometimes to show it off.
Always brought that palcat down with him too...
I loved seeing his wild ideas, but that palcat... woof!
Player
What was wrong with the palcat?
Ashura
It used to tussle with Zeki's palcat. Think that's why Zeki stopped coming around here.
What was it's name? Oh!
One-Eyed Sheremy. Which was weird, because it still had both eyes...
Anyway, try not to blow us all up, ok?

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Ashura
You must be talking about Florentine.
He was always inventing weird little things. Every so often they were even useful.
He'd bring whatever he was tinkering with down to the Inn sometimes to show it off.
Always brought that palcat down with him too...
I loved seeing his wild ideas, but that palcat... woof!
Player
What was wrong with the palcat?
Ashura
It used to tussle with Zeki's palcat. Think that's why Zeki stopped coming around here.
What was it's name? Oh!
One-Eyed Sheremy. Which was weird, because it still had both eyes...

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Caleri
Ugh. Florentine.
Why don't you ask Elouisa about her... "friend".

Player
I found a magic bomb on my housing plot!
Elouisa
WHAT!?!!
You dug up a magic bomb without me? Awww...
I was the first person you came to, right?

Player
... Yes?
Elouisa
Then where is it?
Oh... you were lying to protect my feelings.
Well, I appreciate you coming to me eventually.

Player
Uh... no.
Elouisa
Well, I appreciate you coming to me eventually.

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Elouisa
Oh... Florentine! We used to discuss theories... well, when they weren't being reclusive.

If I know Florentine, and I know Florentine, you probably found his Unstable Unlocker.
He used to show me all sorts of magic items! Many of which did not work!
Inventing is a procession of failure marching towards success, after all...
Anyway, I am sure the key is probably not going to explode. Just... give it to me?
For... research.
Player
I don't think Jina will let me...
Elouisa
Ugh, fine!
Bring the next explosive doodad or magical what-have-you straight to me, ok?
I promise not to use it for anything too weird.

Player
I found a magic bomb on my housing plot!
Eshe
Do I look like your landlord?
I suppose I do.
Nevertheless, you agreed to handle any maintenance issues yourself.
Read over the paperwork while I head to the mayoral emergency bunker.
Player
Wait, who lived there before me?
Eshe
Ugh... Florentine.

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Eshe
Ugh... Florentine.

Charming fellow, if you consider illegally tinkering with human magic "charming".
...
I guess it is, in a certain literal sense.
Player
Can we disenchant something of his?
Eshe
We? No. You? Why not. You'll need to know the secret phrase tied to the spell.
Just do it quietly, and far away from me.
Really though, I suggest you send whatever you found back where it came from and forget about it.
Just like I did with... what was his name?

Player
Do you know who lived on my housing plot?
Hassian
No.

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Jel
Oh! That fantastical fellow...
Unfortunately, they mostly kept to themself. I'm afraid I lack any juicy gossip to share.
That is more Eshe's forte, after all.

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Kenli
Oh! Hmmm... I would have to go through A LOT of old paperwork. So...
Maybe try asking someone who isn't currently on a snack break. Like Eshe!

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Reth
Their favorite soup was... what was it...?
Lettuce? Ten Cheese? Man, I just can't remember...

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Sifuu
Woah, blast form the past! What was his name...
Frank? No...
Maybe you should ask Ashura. He's a bit better with names than I am.

Player
Who used to live on my housing plot?
Tish
That certainly were an... interesting inventor!
We didn't talk much though...
I think they used to frequent the Inn. Maybe ask Ashura?

Conclusion

Upon telling Jina what you learned

Jina
Hey. I managed to figure out that key - problem is, we need the name of the owner's first pet to defuse it.
Player
I know it!
Jina
Alright, I trust you... I think.
Say it out loud... now.

Player
One-Whiskered Sammy.
Jina
That... wasn't right.
Oh no... it's going off!
...
...
...
Oh, it's a dud.
Well, I guess it's all for the best.

Player
One-Eared Sheremy.
Jina
That... wasn't right.
Oh no... it's going off!
...
...
...
Oh, it's a dud.
Well, I guess it's all for the best.

Player
One-Eyed Sheremy.
Jina
You did it!
... Thankfully.

Player
One-Evil Sammy.
Jina
That... wasn't right.
Oh no... it's going off!
...
...
...
Oh, it's a dud.
Well, I guess it's all for the best.

I'm going to keep the key... just in case.
Hopefully any future Florentine findings are less... explosive...
