Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Jina

Dear (Player),
Soooo...uh...this may sound awkward, but I found some sort of weird shrine in Hekla's room. There's a potato with button eyes, swaddled in some old cloth sitting in a basket. Something tells me you helped her with this...could you find out what's going on? She's not talking to me.

Also, here's a key to the tent, in case you want to see the potato situation for yourself.

Progression

Upon speaking with Hekla

Player

So...about the potato I gave you...

Hekla

Shh...please do not call baby Sona a potato. She will get upset if she learns of this...

Player

Who's baby Sona?

Player

You do know that's not a Human baby, right?

Hekla

Sona was the child I was made to care for and protect.

I never got to meet her...I was put into storage before she was born.

Of course I know the starchy root vegetable you gifted me is not truly Sona, but I had hoped making a facsimile of her would bring me closer to feeling my true Oneness.

It has not....

(Whispering) Do me a kindness and do not tell Jina of my pitiful attempt to connect to my Oneness.

I do not want her to think that caring for her isn't enough for me.

Player

You can count on me to keep my lips zipped.

Hekla

I appreciate your help. Perhaps my perception about Humans was flawed...

Player

I'm sure she'll understand. Why not talk it out?

Hekla

I appreciate your candor, but I know Jina far better than you do.

If I say it is best that she is shielded from this information, you should believe I know what I am talking about.

Player

But didn't she just overhear us talking?!

Hekla

Jina is so busy with her work that she often tunes out the outside world.

I am not concerned that she might have overheard.

Conclusion

Upon speaking with Jina

Jina

I saw you talking to Hekla. Did you find out what's going on?

Player

...She's treating the potato like a baby.

Jina

A baby?

Oh...when I first found Hekla I saw her leaning over an old Human era baby carriage.

I'd assumed taking care of my provided whatever "Oneness" she needed.

But I'm not a baby...so maybe it doesn't...I can't believe she didn't tell me she still feels unfulfilled.

I'll send word to the Bahari Institute, and get them to send me the artifacts that were found with her.

Maybe if we could find out what happened to the baby it would help with whatever Hekla is feeling...

Player

Don't look at me. I have no idea!

Jina

...I'm not sure I believe that.

But I don't want to pry.

I guess I'll just have to wait until Hekla opens up to me on her own.

Also, not to change the subject, but Hekla's been stress baking like crazy. You want some of this extra food?
