Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Jel

Dear Player,
What have you done??? That skin cream you gave me was dreadful. It gave me a horrible sensation up and down my arms that felt like spiders crawling on my skin. Chayne called it being "itchy." Regardless, the sensation kept me up all night. My suggestion is to follow up with the others you gave this concoction to. Who knows, they might be dead by now!

Progression

Upon checking in with Zeki

Player
How did things go with the skin cream?
Zeki
Ugh, yeah I tried some of that cream. I got curious. It...uh...turned part of my fur purple.
I assume this was all some sort of elaborate prank?
Player
What part of your fur?
Zeki
That is a...personal question that...I, uh...choose not to answer.

Player
I'm so sorry!
Zeki
Don't be sorry! Nobody's gotten me this good in ages. I gots to remember this one.


Upon checking in with Eshe

Player
How'd it go with that beauty cream?
Eshe
Hmph! If the substance you gave me passes for "beauty cream," I must question your standards of beauty.
Player
I believe real beauty comes from within.

Player
You look great!
Eshe
It's nice of you to pretend you don't notice the fact my ears have gotten pointier.
Ugh, pointy ears are so last season! How will my reputation ever recover?
I can't let the Duchess see me like this!

Conclusion

Upon speaking to Tamala.

Player
Your beauty cream had unexpected side effects...
Tamala
So there WERE side effects to the new batch... well, I must say that's disappointing.
I'd had high hopes of this one.
But there's no use crying over spilt tea. I suppose I will just have to keep calm and carry on.
Player
You can't test your products on innocent people!
Tamala
Aren't you just a knight out to fight all the social injustices of the world! That is so ADORABLE!
But I'm afraid there are bigger things at stake here than whether Jel gets itchy.
I'm trying to solve a real problem here, I can't worry about small things like people's feelings.

Player
...is that cream magic?
Tamala
Magic? Why, aren't you the inquisitive one? You're just a little detective aren't you?
Do you want to be a watcher for the Order when you grow up?
I'm trying to solve a real problem here, I can't let little things like laws against magic get in my way.
Player
That wasn't just beauty cream, was it?
Tamala
My, aren't you full of questions?

Player
Beauty is important!
Tamala
Yes, it is....
You remind me of myself at your age. Trust me, darling, that's about as high of a compliment as I can give.
As a thank you for helping me with my little errands. Here's the key to my boudoir. You can stop by anytime...
