Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Caleri.

Dear (Player),
There is a delicate matter that I could use your assistance with. Find me at the library.

P.S. Burn this note after reading.

Caleri

Letter from Elouisa.

Dear (Player),
!!! URGENT !!! FOR YOUR EYES ONLY!!!!

If Caleri sends you a letter, IGNORE IT and COME TO ME!

She has been influenced by malevolent forces and MUST NOT BE TRUSTED.

P.S. Burn this note after reading!!!

Elouisa

Upon talking to Caleri.

This section is under construction. Missing final dialogue choice for Water.

Caleri

There you are. I'm not sure if you received my mail, but I have need of your... you.

A favor, to be exact. Or perhaps it is better to call it a job. I will, of course, compensate you for the time and effort spent.

Now, I would do it myself, but I am afraid that I would look quite... conspicuous, with my reputation.

I am taking a risk, asking you. I hope you will not disappoint me.

Player

Sounds illegal. I'm in.

Caleri

That should not be a positive! ...That being said, yes, it is illegal. Very.

Player

What do you need, exactly?

Caleri

Zeki has come into possession of a Flow battery, and I would like you to purchase it for me.

Player

Cut to the chase.

Caleri

You're right. I've already set my mind to the task, I should not falter now.

Player

Always happy to help a friend!

Caleri

I didn't realize we were so close... but I admit I am not adverse to the idea.

Zeki has come into possession of a Flow battery, and I would like you to purchase it for me.

Player

Gasp!!!

Caleri

I know. Normally I would not consider consorting with... criminals. But I need that battery.

Player

What do you need it for?

Caleri

It is long story. But if insist on knowing...

Player

I'm confused. Why do you need me?

Caleri

Perhaps you are uneducated on the laws governing this land. Ever since the Accord of the First Council of the Palian Republic, it has been illegal for Palians to come into possession of Flow-powered objects.

Grimalkins are exempt from this law. I would imagine, since the lawmakers could not have predicted the emergence of Humanity, your kind are also similarly exempt.

So I can only ask you to obtain the battery for me. As for its use...

Player

You can't do it yourself?

Caleri

Perhaps you are uneducated on the laws governing this land. Ever since the Accord of the First Council of the Palian Republic, it has been illegal for Palians to come into possession of Flow-powered objects.

Grimalkins are exempt from this law. I would imagine, since the lawmakers could not have predicted the emergence of Humanity, your kind are also similarly exempt.

So I can only ask you to obtain the battery for me. As for its use...

Are you aware of the Silverwing?

Player

Never heard of it.

Caleri

That does not surprise me. Seeing how it is simply a bird.

For as long as Majiri have had history, there have been stories of magical Silverwings. Yet there has never been evidence they have powers of any sort.

Some legends say that a single flap of their wings controls the weather. Others say they can live for 10,000 years on a diet of air alone.

And while going through the records left behind in the Temple of the Waves with Jina, we discovered records of a supposed Silverwing nest.

The records say it is located in a so-called "Temple of the Gales". We located the door to said temple, and it was unfortunately locked.

It stands to reason that a battery much like the one you used to unlock the first temple would unlock this one as well.

Player

Why do you care about the Silverwing?

Caleri

Because Elouisa won't be quiet about it! Someone let slip to her about the Temple, and now she's worked herself up into a tizzy.

Player

This sounds like more of an Elouisa thing.

Caleri

That is exactly right! Someone let it slip to her, and now she won't stop talking about it.

If she's allowed to get there first, she'll get herself into all sorts of trouble. Who knows what is inside?

She might fall off a bridge, or eat something strange and poison herself, or- or worse...

Make an inaccurate deduction based on unscientific principals and assume Silverwings can do magic because she finds a random feather or something!

As her sister, and as a keeper of actual knowledge, it falls to me to crush her dreams.

Player

Just call me "Dreamcrusher (Player)".

Caleri

I understand I may sound harsh to you, but it would not be the first time my sister's ideas got her into trouble.

Player

The Temples aren't THAT dangerous. Except for all the danger.

Caleri

I rest my case.

Player

What if the Silverwing is magical?

Caleri

(TBA)

Player

I'll help.

Caleri

I knew you would see things my way.

Now, if you would approach Zeki and inquire as to price, I am prepared to pay it.

Just get to him before Elouisa does. Or we'll never hear the end of it.

Upon talking to Elouisa.

This section is under construction. Missing dialogue choices for Fire and Water.

Elouisa

Oh, good, you're here! Quickly, what's the passcode?

Player

You didn't give me one...

Elouisa

Oh, how silly of me! I must have been in such a hurry I forgot to include it.

Well for future reference, the passcode is "The Kitsuu waits for no one."

Player

"The peki crows in the darkness before dawn."

Elouisa

No, no, that was last week's passcode. This week is "The kitsuu waits for no one."

It's no matter. I am in need of a research assistant, and yours was the first name that came to mind.

After your excellent work with the Temple of the Waves, I believe there is no one better suited to the task.

Player

And what task is that, exactly?

Elouisa

In due time, in due time. First I must ask you a very important question.

Player

More Temples? I'm in!

Elouisa

(TBA)

Player

My middle name is "Temples"!

Elouisa

I shall note this down in your file!

Player

This has something to do with the Temples?

Elouisa

(TBA)

Tell me. Have you ever heard of the Silverwing?

Player

Never heard of it.

Elouisa

You see, the Silverwing is a great and vengeful creature. A bird, they say, but not just any bird.

No, its wingspan is the length of entire oceans, and the flapping of its wings summons tornadoes and storms!

Some even say the Silverwing can take on different forms. Why, you could be one in disguise!

Player

Are you?

Elouisa

Don't be silly, Silverwings are allergic to the color purple!

Player

Caw!

Elouisa

Actually, the Silverwing call is more of a "CREEAWWW!"

In any case, it just so happens that Jina discovered records of a Silverwing nest while going through the records in the Temple of the Waves.

And that nest is right in Bahari Bay, in a "Temple of the Gales".

When I went to find this Temple, the door was barred. Jina informed me that you used a Flow battery to unlock the Temple of the Waves.

It stands to reason that a Flow battery may open the way to the Temple of the Gales as well!

Unfortunately, Caleri overheard my discussion with Jina, and now she's trying to beat me to the punch!

If she gets there first, who knows what might happen? She's woefully uneducated on Silverwing behavior! She might accidentally scare them all off, or worse...

Answer one of their riddles incorrectly and be carried off to one of their nests!

Which brings me to the heart of the matter. Zeki has apparently obtained a fully-charged Flow battery, and I need you to procure it for me.

I'd do it myself, you see, but he banned me from the market for a month after the Incident.

You will help me, won't you? For truth!

Player

Only if you tell me about the Incident.

Elouisa

Oh, it wasn't really that bad. Zeki should label his explosive devices more clearly. I thought it was the Fish Detector I ordered from him!

Player

If you pay me.

Elouisa

Knowledge is its own reward! That being said, I will also give you first access to the Temple of the Gales.

Player

Anything for a friend!

Elouisa

(TBA)

Player

If you think I'll be any help.

Elouisa

(TBA)

I shall await eagerly for your return.

And remember: keep this from Caleri! It's for her own safety!

Optional Follow-Up with Caleri

Player

Elouisa told me about the Silverwings.

Caleri

She got to you first, did she? Hmphf.

My sister has some very foolish ideas about some very ordinary birds.

Unfortunately, I am concerned that the danger she might encounter chasing these illusions is very real.

I cannot stop you two from entering the Temple, but I will be right there behind you to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Someone needs to be the responsible adult here, after all.

Progression

Upon talking to Zeki.

Zeki

You buyin' or sellin'? Please tell me buyin', because for reasons I can't legally get into, I'm in sudden need of a LOTTA extra cash.

Player

If you're selling a Flow battery.

Zeki

Well, ain't this ironic? My problem suddenly sounds a lot like YOUR problem too.

See, the Magistrate just confiscated a single item from my stocks. And I bet you can guess which item.

Player

A tiny magical dancing chapaa statue?

Zeki

What? No. She took the Flow battery. She heard me advertisin' it around and swooped in.

Player

Well, this was a waste of time.

Zeki

Not so fast. Hear me out first, huh? I've got a plan that might benefit us both.

Player

Which item did she take?

Zeki

...The Flow battery. She heard me advertisin' it around and swooped in.

Player

Is that legal?

Zeki

Now you're askin' the right questions.

See, it's legal for me to possess that Flow battery. It just ain't legal for me to sell it to a Majiri.

And since she took it before I could sell it, well. I was doin' nothin' wrong.

Eshe's a smart lady. She knows she ain't got a leg to stand on. But now the thing's tied up in paperwork and petitions.

She's tryin' to wear me down with bureaucracy. It could be months, maybe years before I get that battery back.

Which means years until you can pluck it from my paws for a pretty price.

Unless...

Player

Unless?

Zeki

Unless we "liberate" it early.

Player

Heist time? Please say it's heist time.

Zeki

You read my mind, pal.

Look. She seized it illegally, so it's only fair play we seize it back.

You help me out and I'll give you the battery for free.

After all, getting one over on Eshe is worth a hundred of those things.

Player

I'm not sure about this...

Zeki

Look, I ain't gonna force you. But this is the only way you're getting that battery before you're old and grey.

Player

I've been waiting my entire life to steal from the rich.

Zeki

You're a Human after my own heart.

Player

Fine. If this is the only way.

Zeki

The only way you'll get that battery before you're old and grey, at least

Player

Sounds like fun!

Zeki

Oh, it is. Heists are like a national pastime for my people. Never had a boring one!

So, here's the plan.

Eshe's almost certainly locked the battery up somewhere in City Hall, but I have it on good authority she keeps the master key on her person at all times.

It just so happens that her and Kenli's anniversary party is tonight, an' the whole village is invited.

So, you an' I will be attending this party. When the time's right, you start a distraction, and I'll swipe the key when she's not looking.

Easier than taking milk from a kitten.

Which I would never do, by the way. I ain't a monster!

Player

There's no way we can lose!

Zeki

I can think of about fifty ways, but you just let me worry about that. Stick to the plan and we're golden

Player

I've been told I'm a very distracting person.

Zeki

You an' me both, pal. Guess it's all our natural charisma.

Player

Sounds solid.

Zeki

I always deliver. You just stick to the plan and we're golden.

Player

What if we get caught?

Zeki

Easy. Don't get caught.

Meet me tonight an' we'll get this party started, huh?

And if you're gonna be late, make sure it's fashionable!

Upon talking to Zeki to attend the party.

Zeki

How's it goin', kiddo?

Player

I'm ready to "liberate" a Flow battery.

Zeki

Sure y'ready to start?

Player

Let's do this.

Zeki

After you.

Player

I need a little more time.

Zeki

Fine, but hurry it up!

At party, talking to all Villagers.

Missing dialogue for Eshe, responding to "Are you married?"

Ashura

(Player)! Glad to see you came. Nearly forgot myself, if I'm honest.

Seeing how Kenli throws it on a different date every year.

Auni

Ugggh. Old people parties are so boring.

Hey, you wanna go try to catch some bugs in the yard or something?

Player

That sounds like a GREAT idea!

Auni

Great, meet you at the- oh crap, mom's looking this way. We'll have to do it later. BUMMER!

Player

Uhm, I'll pass.

Auni

Well, maybe I'll just do it on my ow- crap, is mom looking this way? Pretend you didn't hear nothing!

Badruu

The grub at these things is always top notch!

But can't say Kenli's got great taste in music. If only he had a different record.

Found this in one of the boys' rooms. Maybe it'll liven things up?

These snacks have got me feelin' downright peachy.

Caleri

I see you arrived with Zeki.

And that you haven't given me an update on my... ahem, request, yet.

Player

I've got it handled.

Caleri

Very well. I shall await your news.

Player

I could use your help...

Caleri

Could you now? And what, exactly, might I be able to help with?

Player

Distracting Eshe.

Caleri

...I see.

I won't ask why you need a distraction, but it just so happens she and I are rather good friends, and I've been meaning to ask her about her new curtains.

You have roughly twenty minutes, after which I can make no promises on how riveting the conversation will continue to be.

Chayne

Phoenix's child. I hope you are having a pleasant evening. I know I am.

Delaila

I'm not sure I've seen Kenli and Eshe talk to each other all night. Such a shame, that.

Einar

Hello, (Player). Have you also come to celebrate the socio-political and -economic union of the Majiri who run our fair village?

Player

Something like that.

Einar

Then I wish you a pleasant-adjacent night!

Player

Yes! I love parties!

Einar

I too enjoy the felicitous atmosphere of a likeminded gathering. Though I cannot partake of the sustenance provided, I was once told it is as important to feed the "heart" as it is the "stomach."

I am still working out the biological particulars of the possibility, however.

Player

I wasn't expecting to see you here.

Einar

I have attended every one since the very first. Standing quietly in pleasant environments is one of my many Onenesses.

I look forward with enthusiasm to next year's celebration as well.

Player

I came here to chew gum and steal keys, and I'm out of gum.

Einar

Oh dear! I shall let you know immediately if I obtain any more of this "gum". I fear Kenli could not have forseen[sic] such a dire shortage...

Elouisa

The Silverwing awaits, my dear assistant! Oh, I can almost hear its petrifying cries now...

Did you know that one second of a Silverwing's song can turn any listener straight into toad?!

Fascinating, simply fascinating. Of course, if you get toad-ed, I promise to good care of you! Fresh flies every day!

Oh! Is there anything you needed?

Player

No, I'm fine!

Elouisa

Of course, of course. Well then I shall await good news!

Player

I could use your help...

Elouisa

Really? Whatever with?

Player

(explain the situation)

Elouisa

I see...

Well! It just so happen that I have the perfect distraction right here.

A sachet of hiccup powder. I keep it on me at all times, incase I accosted by a Gillyfoot.

Sprinkle this into the soup and you're sure to have your distraction.

Luckily, I am more of salad woman myself!

{{#tag:tabber|Low relationship=

Eshe

...Did I invite you? No matter. Just try not to make a mess.

|-|If used record from Badruu=

Eshe

Ugh, what is this infernal racket?! Stop bothering me, (Player). I must attend to this distasteful cacophany at once!

|-|High relationship=

Eshe

You made it. Excellent, perhaps now I will have a good conversation for once.

Tell me, (Player). Are you married?

Eshe

(TBA)

Eshe

(TBA)

Eshe

(TBA)

Eshe

Perhaps that is for the best. I don't know how you do marriage where you're from, but here it is a contract between families, not individuals.

Especially among those in the upper echelons of society. And you do have the bearing of someone with... refined qualities.

(Out of the corner of your eye, you spot Zeki calmly approaching Eshe as you talk. He passes behind her, winks, and disappears into the crowd.)

Well. Enough of this maudlin topic. I believe I am due for a refill on my wine. Where did that waiter get to?

Hassian

I am not here to socialize.

... I have made my appearance. I do not think Eshe would notice if I slipped out now.

Hekla

My Jina gets particularly overwhelmed during large social functions. Ensure you be kind to her tonight.

Jel

I wonder if I shall ever throw an anniversary party of my own...

Jina

Oh, (Player)! I hear you're looking into another Temple. I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Kenli

Ah, (Player)! Welcome, welcome! Please, enjoy the party! At least one of us has to!

Kenyatta

Ugh, Seriously, it's bad enough they do this every year, I don't know why I have to get dragged along every time.

These things are so BORING.

Player

I hope your night gets better.

Kenyatta

Yeah, yeah. It'll be better when it ends.

Player

I know a way to spice things up...

Kenyatta

Yeah? And what do you have in mind?

Player

Well, I saw some fireworks...

Kenyatta

Oh man, YES! Here, take these matches and make 'something' happen tonight, okay?

Player

Nevermind.

Kenyatta

Don't just get my hopes up like that!

Nai'o

This grey stuff's delicious...

Oh, hey, (Player)!

Reth

Couldn't help but notice you show up with Zeki earlier.

Reth

Look, I'm no snitch, but careful how involved you get with him, yeah?

High relationship?

Reth

Look, I'm the last guy to warn you about staying out of trouble, but...just look out for yourself, okay?

Last thing you need's getting tangled up in one of Zeki's schemes. That's MY job.

Sifuu

Hmm. There was more meat last year...

Tau

Woof

(Tau pants happily and gives your hand a lick.)

Tish

Oh, I just love when the whole town gets together like this, don't you?

Zeki

Right, eyes sharp. Remember: you find a way to cause a distraction, and I'll make my move.

Upon talking to Zeki at the party after arranging a distraction.

This section is under construction. The transcript is missing Elouisa and Kenyatta paths.

Zeki

No idea how you talked Caleri into bein' an accomplice, but good job.

Zeki

(TBA)

Zeki

(TBA)

Zeki

Got the key right here. C'mon, let's get outta here. I know exactly where she's keepin' the battery.

If you've got anything that could be interpreted as evidence of our little escapade, I'll be taking that too. For our safety, y'know.

I'll grab the battery and meet you back at your plot.

Completion

Upon talking to Zeki at your home plot.

Zeki

Pleasure doin' business with you. I'll see you at the Temple!

Player

That wasn't part of the deal.

Zeki

It wasn't? Ahh, must've forgotten to include that little detail. You should really get these things in writing, pal. First rule of business.

Player

The more the merrier!

Zeki

That's exactly what I was thinking. Don't worry, we'll split everything fair and square, 75-25.

Player

Wait, what?

Zeki

You didn't think I was gonna stay behind on this little adventure, were you?

Player

So by 'free battery', you meant 'not free'.

Zeki

Now you're gettin' it. See, this is why I like you, (Player). Always reading between the lines.

The way I see it is, I did all the work to procure this little battery, and then half the work to re-procure.

I'd say that warrants me a little access, don't it?

And really, a big Temple like that's a cultural resource. It belongs to all of us.

So, see ya there! Don't be late.
