Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Reth

Dear (Player),
Hey. Uh, I'm in some deep ormuu dung right now. It's a little bit of a big deal.

Can you meet me in our 'secret spot'?

Progression

Upon speaking to Reth in the Secret Spot

Reth
You’re here! Okay, uh, that’s good.
That’s really good, actually.
Man am I glad to see your face right now.
Player
Oh no. What’s wrong?
Reth
What isn’t wrong today, sweet tooth/fancy pants?
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I got this weird crick in my neck-

Player
It’s good to see you too.
Reth
You might not be saying that after this conversation.
I messed up, fancy pants/sweet tooth. Like, cataclysmic. Apocalyptic.
The end of my short and charming stint as your local chef-turned-criminal.
Oh yeah, and I’m probably going to jail.
Player
What happened?
Eshe happened. Palian society happened. My own dumb mistakes happened.
And now Tish is gonna pay for it all.
Player
Is this about Tish’s condition?
Reth
Yeah, I guess it is. Not a lot of people know about it... not even Tish.
She's sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.

Player
What does Tish have to do with it?
Reth
I guess I owe you an explanation.
Tish is sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.

Player
Sounds rough. I’m in.
Reth
Wait. What? I haven't told you what's going on. But you're offering to help, just like that?
Player
Yup.
Reth
...Huh. Well, I'm going to tell you anyways, because it's kind of eating me up inside and you're like my only real friend.
Tish is sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.

Player
I mean, a little more info wouldn't hurt.
Reth
Tish is sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.
And her treatment's in a shipment that just got seized by the Magistrate for investigation.
Her Flow-powered, highly illegal treatment.
Player
Why couldn’t the Majiri help her?
Reth
Because only Flow, the real heavy duty illegal kind, could help.
Trust me, we tried everything when she got sick. I dragged her to every healer in the area. None of them could do anything for her.
I need you to get that shipment for me. Before Eshe opens it and finds out what's inside.

Player
How can I help?
Reth
I need you to get that shipment for me. Before Eshe opens it and finds out what's inside.
Player
How much time do I have?
Reth
It’s hard to say. She can’t just open packages the moment she seizes them. There are rules, and bureaucracy involved. She’s gotta get approved.
It could be days. Could be weeks. Could be hours.
But eventually, she will open it. And you can say bye-bye Reth. And bye-bye Tish.
Player
I’m NOT going to let that happen.
Reth
Thanks, (Player). Man, I should figure out some better ways to thank you, Huh? I'm saying it a lot these days.

Player
Gotcha. One heist coming up.
Reth
I'm kind of jealous I can't come help. A heist with you sounds fun.

Player
I’ll try my best.
Reth
That’s all I need. I know this is a lot to ask.

Player
This will be a disaster.
Reth
Isn't everything, with me?
Eshe locked the shipment somewhere in City Hall. Ask around if you can, just be careful not to implicate me. Or yourself.


Missing dialogue from bribing Kenli path.

Upon asking Kenli

Player
I need a favor...
Kenli
Oh! It’s so good to see you. I’ve been quite lonely lately.
Eshe has me guarding some shipment of something-or-other in the storage room, and let me tell you. It is quite taxing!
Er, did you need something?
Player
Well-
Kenli
(information needed)

Player
I-
Kenli
(information needed)

Player
Yes-
Kenli
I'm so sorry, I can't possibly concentrate right now.
You see, I'm absolutely famished. Eshe's got me doing some sort of guard duty right now, and I didn't get a chance to grab breakfast. Or lunch. And probably no dinner tonight either...
Player
Maybe we can help each other out.
Kenli
Really? You'd help me?
Player
If you help me.
Kenli
I would quite literally do anything right now for a steak dinner.
Bring me that, and you can have whatever you'd like.

Player
Oh, you poor thing!
Kenli
(information needed)

Player
That's nice. Get out of my way.
Kenli
(information needed)

Player
I can come back later...
Kenli
(information needed)
Player
I brought you a steak.
Kenli
You did? You did! And here I was, nearly about to pass out from hunger.
Ahhh, that hit the spot. I feel like I can think clearly for the first time all day!
Now, err... you needed something, right?
Player
I need a key to the storeroom.
Kenli
Oh, is that all? Here you go.
And here I thought you were about to make me an accomplice in a crime or something!
Er. But if Eshe asks, you didn't get anything from me, alright?

Player
A key to the storage room.
Kenli
Oh! Why would you need something like that?
Player
I left my coat inside.
Kenli
Why didn't you say so? Yes, that seems perfectly on the level to me.
Lucky for you, she happened to give me a spare key. She insisted I not lose it, but well.

Player
Eshe asked me to take over for you.
Kenli
Did she? Oh, good. I’m not cut out for guard duty.
Here, the spare key she gave me. She insisted I not lose it, but well.
Giving it to a friend isn’t losing it at all!


Upon asking Eshe

Eshe
Finally, someone competent! It is good to see you.
It seems as if I am drowning in an endless sea of fools today.
Player
Can I help?
Eshe
Some refreshing conversation would do the trick, but I am far too busy to engage in it.

Player
That sounds tough...
Eshe
No, poorly cooked meat is tough. This is simply another headache my incompetent husband is incapable of dealing with himself.
The criminal underbelly in Kilima has become quite brazen in the past couple weeks.
Why, just recently I seized a shipment that tried to slip by without filling out the proper forms.
And now I must petition... the Duchess for approval to investigate.
As if every decision in Kilima must be made according to her whims.
Player
I could help guard the shipment for you.
Eshe
I have enlisted my useless husband to do that. Not that he makes a particularly fearsome guard...
Hmm. Perhaps you could help. WIth that buffoon so occupied, the paperwork has begun piling up.
Very well. Here is a copy of the keys. You will ensure no one enters without my express permission, do you understand?


Upon asking Kenyatta

Player
Want to help me steal from your mom?
Kenyatta
I've never wanted to do anything more, ever, in my life.
You don't even have to tell me the plan. I'm in.
Player
That was easy.
Kenyatta
It's like you don't even know me. Like, hello? What have I been trying to do with my life basically since I was born?
Okay, maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but I'm bored. This should spice things up.

Player
I'm still going to tell you the plan.
Kenyatta
Ugh. Like, if you have to. Whatever, I'm listening.
Player
(explain the situation)
Kenyatta
So you need me to find my mom's storage room, steal whatever's inside, and get out without being caught?
Player
Basically.

Player
Well, when you put it like that...
Kenyatta
I'm in. I'll send you a letter when I'm done.


Letter from Kenyatta if you chose her

Dear (Player),
I've got the goods, but you SO owe me an explanation for this one. Don't worry, my mom's got no idea what's going on.

Come stop by and get your crazy illegal stuff.

Kenyatta Profile.png Kenyatta


Upon meeting with Kenyatta

Kenyatta
Hey, there you are! When you told me to steal from my mom, you didn't mention it was Flow.
Player
I'm so sorry.
Kenyatta
Sorry? What for? If my mom knew I helped smuggle Flow... oh my dragon, she'd be SO upset.

Player
Did I have to?
Kenyatta
A heads up woulda been nice is all. Stealing from my mom is funny. Getting caught with Flow I wasn't expecting isn't.

Player
Doesn't that just make it more exciting?
Kenyatta
You're right. My mother would FLIP if she found out I did this.
Anyways, here you go. You so owe me for this.

Conclusion

Upon returning to Reth in the Storeroom

Reth
Oh, uh, hey sweet tooth/fancy pants. I totally wasn't crying behind those crates. Everything's fine with me.
Soooo... do you have it?
Player
(hand over the package)
Reth
Wait, this is... you really did it!
Not gonna lie, I was half expecting you to show up with some bad news.
How’d you pull this off?
Player
I asked Kenli.
Reth
You just asked him? And he handed it over? Ha!

Player
I bribed Kenli.
Reth
Why didn't I think of that? Let me guess, steak?

Player
I tricked Eshe.
Reth
...I underestimated you, (Player). It takes a lot to fool her. Trust me, I've tried.

Player
Kenyatta helped me.
Reth
Kenyatta, huh? Maybe she's got more guts than I gave her credit for.
Listen, I know it might seem like I'm taking this lightly, but that's just how my face looks. I really thought this was it for me.
But you saved me. Saved Tish. You could have asked for the whole world from me and I woulda given it, but you didn't ask for anything.
Doesn't mean I won't try to pay you back. Come on, there's gotta be something you want.
Player
The whole world.
Reth
Done. I'll start my world domination schemes tomorrow.

Player
I just want you and Tish to be okay.
Reth
That’s... sweet. Like, too sweet. I think I have a toothache now.
Alright, alright. I'm joking. I'm just not used to... people caring.

Player
Just your friendship!
Reth
You already had that, (Player).

Player
A future favor.
Reth
Way to make it sound ominous.
You've got it. Anything you need, Reth's your man.
But seriously. I know nothing can really repay what you did for us, but maybe this is a start. Made fresh for you, sweet tooth/fancy pants. And there are way more bribes where that came from.

Post-Quest

Optional: If Player got the key from Eshe

Eshe
As you know, I seized a highly-suspicious shipment recently and stowed it in my store room for safekeeping.
I enlisted your help in guarding it... yet somehow, it managed to disappear while YOU were on watch.
Care to explain what happened?
Player
I don't know anything.
Eshe
You're the only one who had access to that package, and you insist you don't know what became of it?

Player
Not really, but thanks for asking!
Eshe
Don't play those silly little games with me! You know as well as I do that you were the only one with access to that package.
This is your last chance to tell me the truth.
Player
...
Eshe
...

Player
I can't.
Eshe
What do you mean, you can't?
...
I'll let your little mishap slide just this once. I won't be so nice next time.
