Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Jel

Dear (Player),

Oh my dearest Muse! I am afraid I’ve had a most tragic run in with my eldest sister, Amara, and could use a lovely shoulder such as yours to cry on. Please meet me in my bedchamber post haste! I shall not get any rest until I have a chance to go over the conversation with you in vivid detail.

Jel

(OPTIONAL) Upon talking to Tish

Tish

Have you had a chance to talk to Jel yet? He seems so moody.

Like more moody than usual. Which I know is saying a lot.

He won't tell me why, so I know it must be big. When you find out what's wrong, could you come back and tell me?

I know I shouldn't gossip. I'm just really worried about him.

FireAir

Player

I'll tell you.

Tish

Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me!

Player

If he wanted to tell you, he would.

Tish

Fair enough. I really shouldn't be snooping anyway, I appreciate you keeping me honest.

Progression

Upon talking to Jel

Player

What's wrong?

Jel

What's wrong? What's WRONG? More like, what isn't wrong?

Not only have I yet to earn the right to stitch my family name into my clothes, but my cruel sister has decided to publicly humiliate me.

WaterFireAir

Player

Oh no! That's terrible.

Jel

Terrible?! More like utterly devastating.

Player

I'll show her!

Jel

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I’m afraid confronting her would only make it worse.

Player

I feel like you're overreacting.

Jel

Overreacting? Me? Never!

Anyway, it's my mother's thirty year anniversary as the head of my family line. There is to be a great party in her honor.

Amara, as second in line, is responsible for organizing the festivities and she saw fit to give me the duties of...don't make me say it. It's too dreadful.

WaterFireAir

Player

If you don't say it, I can't help you.

Jel

Alright, I'll say it...

Player

Talk about it in your own time.

Jel

I appreciate your kindness, but I must speak my truth...

Player

Let me guess...you're performing as a clown.

Jel

Worse...

She wants me to make the CANAPES!

AirFireEarth

Player

Seriously? That’s it?

Player

That sounds kind of fun.

Player

There's nothing more humiliating than appetizers.

Jel

You don't get it! I can't cook and my sister knows that. She wants me to fail.

FireWaterEarth

Player

I'm a great cook.

Jel

You are? I had no idea. You shall have to entertain me with your culinary talents at a later date. But I can't impose this on you. Reth on the other hand...

Player

Let me know if I can help.

Jel

Well now that you mention it, perhaps you could do me a favor…

Player

We can't give her what she wants.

Jel

You're right, we can't. And I actually may have a solution...

Reth has the most delicious canape recipe. He made some for Tish's last birthday and I can't stop thinking about them.

I would ask him to help, but I don't want him to know of my shame!

Could you maybe ask him to help out? And you know, say the canapes are for you? And not me?

Upon talking to Reth

Player

(ask for a Canape recipe)

Reth

Seriously?! You want one of my super duper top secret recipes?

I’m sorry, but no can do. That recipe is locked inside my vault of deliciousness, and I’m afraid I ate the key.

WaterAir

Player

It would mean a lot to me.

Reth

Don’t give me that face. You know I can never turn down that face!

I’ll tell you what, you get me the ingredients for the canapes and I’ll whip them up for you.

Player

It's actually for Jel.

Reth

Jel? Why didn't he just ask himself?

Wait, don't answer that. By the time I question his motivation, I've already lost.

I’ll tell you what, you get me the ingredients for the canapes and I’ll whip them up for Jel. No questions asked.

Upon returning to Reth with the ingredients

Player

I brought the canape ingredients.

Reth

Sweet, let me whip those right up.

I gotta smoke the salmon...

Boil the potato...

Chop the garlic...

And...Boom! Instant deliciousness!

Wait...did I just accidentally give you all the steps to my top secret recipe?

Ooops. Just don't tell anybody! Or better yet, forget you heard anything.

Conclusion

Upon giving Jel the canapes

Player

Here are your canapes!

Jel

Oh my goodness, these are beautiful. If they taste anything like they look these will be the hit of the party.

My stuffy sister is going to rue the day she tried to humiliate me. Rue it, I tell you!

I can't thank you enough, (Player). No one's ever done anything like this for me before. It makes me feel...well, for once, I'm at a loss for words.

Post-Quest

Dear (Player),

I was trying to create something that would match the beauty that is you…but alas, I could not do better than mother nature already has. So instead of a painting, I present to you this mirror, so that you may gaze upon the one piece of art unrivaled by any master.
