Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Speaking with Hodari

Hodari
You're here. Good.
Next time you'd up in the mountains, would you mind bringing me back from iron?
Player
No problem!
Hodari
Thanks. Been workin' on a new alloy lately. Somethin' that can hold a lot of weight...

Player
What's it for?
Hodari
Been workin' on a new alloy lately. Somethin' that can hold a lot of weight...
I won't bore you with the details. Get me that iron and I'll be sure to pay you back.


Optional: Chat with Hodari while quest is active

Hodari
Any luck on that iron?


Progression

Speaking with Hodari (Turn-In)

Player
I have the iron.
Hodari
...Thanks. I woulda gotten it myself, but other things been taking up a lot of my time lately.
Trust me, I don't make it a habit of looking for handouts.
Player
I'm happy to help!
Hodari
Now if only Najuma would listen to me for once...

Player
What other things?
Hodari
...Things.
...Najuma. Don't worry about it.
Here. Should cover the cost of materials.


Upon speaking with Najuma

Najuma
Uhm... hi.
I know it's kinda weird to just show up here, but... maybe you can help?
Player
"Help" is one of my many middle names.
Najuma
I-is it? How many middle names do Humans have...
N-nevermind, that's not important!
The mine's haunted.

Player
What do you need?
Najuma
The mine's haunted.
Player
Say no more. I'll get my salt.
Najuma
You believe me?
...Thanks. You're the first person. I knew it was a good idea to come here.

Player
It's what now?
Najuma
Haunted. I promise, I'm not making it up. Every time I go in there, it just... feels weird.
Dad won't listen to me. He says there's no such thing as ghosts.
Could you talk to him? Maybe if it comes from an adult, he'll actually hear it for once.


Speaking with Hodari

Player
Najuma says the mine's haunted.
Hodari
Not you too. I told her to quit tellin' stories.
I don't know what's goin' on with her lately.
Player
You could try listening to her.
Hodari
...Not like I don't try.
But I know what's wrong with the mines, and it ain't no made up spirit.

Player
Kids are like that sometimes.
Hodari
She's always had an active imagination, but this is the first time she's really dug her feet in.
I know what's wrong with the mines, and it ain't no made up spirit.
The veins are running dry, so I'm havin' to go deeper and deeper. But I don't have the lights to support it.
The mine's ain't haunted, they're just dark. S'easy to catch yourself seein' shadows so deep in the earth like that.
You really wanna set her mind at east, you can help me catch some lantern bugs.


Conclusion

Speaking with Hodari (Turn-In)

Player
I found the glowbug.
Hodari
There he is. Huh, little thing's brighter than I expected.
Thanks for this. If Najuma does sneak back in those mines, at least I know she won't get lost in the dark.
