Emotions will be displayed as: text {emotion} Note: // Lari isn't meant to be said, it is just to make it clear who says the line Nasea: is some sort of manager for a quartz mine. Nasea is stern and likes to get to the point. Nasea is annoyed and frustrated about the recent disappearance of some quartz. Dado: a worker for the quartz mine. He takes part in shady deals for more money. He likes mocking and making fun of the traveller. Lari: an elf who is returning some quartz to Nasea after an idea using the quartz hasn't worked out. Popo: a sort of middleman in shady deals to do with the quartz disappearances. Harnort: a scientist that has big visions for what he can do with quartz. He is very passionate about his studies. Guard: a guard working for Harnort. [1/9] Nasea: Shipment 3A and 4B, fully accounted for... shipments 5C and 6A...missing 50% of quartz content?! {self-assuring, realizing, surprised/annoyed} [2/9] Nasea: Agh, this is getting worse! There's never been so much loss...whoever this is, they're getting bold... {annoyed, frustrated/angry} [3/9] Nasea: Ugh, go AWAY! Quit hovering over my shoulder like that- wait, a Human? Since when did you get here? {annoyed, frustrated, surprised} [4/9] Nasea: What, you like listening to the melodious sound of my voice or something? Or do you intend to help out? {sarcastic (light hearted)} [5/9] Nasea: Well, I'm flattered either way, and I could certainly use the help. Quartz is going missing from my shipments. {happy/relieved, informing} [6/9] Nasea: Obviously one of the laborers is siphoning it to someplace, and I can't have that happening. So, be a private eye, humie. {annoyed, informing} [7/9] Nasea: This is actually pretty dire- quartz has some magicality to it, see. It likes to soak up magic power, which means it can be weaponized. {explaining} [8/9] Nasea: We tend not to use it for weapons since it can overcharge, but that's neither here nor there, is it? {explaining} [9/9] Nasea: Every siphoned shipment has gone through Dado. Interrogate him! He hangs out past the big red tent, near the house with red flags. {normal, commanding/stern, informing} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Dado: Okay, these go to division P, and...look, I'm busy allocating these deliveries to Llevigar. Go pester someone else, okay? {self-assuring, annoyed} [2/5] Dado: ...what. You...think I... Pfff... Pffhahaaaah! Ohhh, that's RICH coming from a human of all things! {surprised, scorning/mocking} [3/5] Dado: "Oh, me, the hired gun species that kills for money, will accuse you, a storied worker of seven years, of illegal activity!" Wow, you HYPOCRITE! {sarcastic, mocking} [4/5] Dado: I'm hardly even angry about this! But, yeah, you freak. You got the wrong guy, surprise! Your brain workin' right in there? {mocking/ridiculing, sarcastic} [5/5] Dado: I bet you got some wires crossed in there, huh? Go scuttle on back to town and kill someone's Wybel for pocket change or something. {mocking, ridiculing} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/16] Nasea: I'm just going to take a wild guess and say that asking him nicely whether he committed theft didn't bring up any answers. {sarcastic} [2/16] Nasea: What, he brushed you off like THAT? Jeez, I knew he was a jerk, but really? That's just uncalled for. {surprised, disappointed} [3/16] Nasea: We have to make him talk...if shipments keep going missing, my contractors are going to look elsewhere! {informing and worried} [4/16] Nasea: We need to prove that he's guilty...wait, you came to ME for ideas? This is why I asked you for help! Am I really back to square one? {informing, surprised, annoyed/discouraged} [5/16] ???: Aah, Nasea! // Lari {friendly} [6/16] Nasea: I...what are you doing here, uh...Larry? Were you missing quartz too?? {confused, stressed (Like she is having a headache)} [7/16] Lari: Ah, it's...Lari. No, the quartz shipment found its way fine... {friendly/slightly disappointed, informing} [8/16] Lari: But, there was hardly an effect. Your idea was, unfortunately, a dead end. {informing, disappointed} [9/16] Nasea: Well, I did warn you that it was only an idea. I manage the mine, I don't practice purification magic. Don't pin anything on me for that. {informing} [10/16] Lari: I did not intend to imply that. Your help was appreciated, fate simply had opposing plans... {friendly/disappointed} [11/16] Lari: ...is this human a part of your operations, miss? {curious} [12/16] Nasea: Well, in a sense. Someone's siphoning quartz, but our suspect wasn't intimidated by the ten tons of armor, so we're at a loss. Any ideas? {informing, discouraged} [13/16] Lari: ...as a matter of fact, I do have a solution. Elven botany describes a flower that grows decently close by, the ""Tattytale"" flower. {excited, informing} [14/16] Lari: It weakens the will of those who catch a whiff of its petals, making them pliable to questions. It's...unpleasant, but if it is needed, I suppose. {informing, hesitant} [15/16] Lari: There is a cave infested with spiders, and covered with webs in the western mountain. It is the only place it grows outside of Aldorei, unfortunately. {informing/explaining} [16/16] Lari: Nasea, since it didn't help, I've returned the quartz. I thank you for your help...and I shall bid you both adieu. {informing, friendly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Dado: Hey, everyone's least-favorite attack dog! Here boy! You want the emerald? Go kill all the flies in my house! Come on boy! {mocking/sarcastic} [2/8] Dado: Aw, flowers. How sweet of you! Sorry, but I don't cave to psychopaths or flattery, hehehee! {sarcastic, mocking} [3/8] Dado: I...huff... What was THAT for?! Are you offended that I don't like your flo- What? What am I doing with the quartz? {angry/surprised, questioning} [4/8] Dado: Uh, isn't it obvious? I'm working overtime and sending it up to Popo, duh. Where else would I be sending it? {mocking} [5/8] Dado: What- Where's Popo sending it? Um...no clue. Whoever it is, they're super rich though. They pay me more than my house is worth every shipment! {confused, explaining} [6/8] Dado: Not sure why you need to- What? Where's Popo? Uh, he said he'd meet me at the cart track overpass, near the teal flags. {questioning, confused, explaining} [7/8] Dado: This was going to be our first meeting, so I don't know what he looks like, and likewise he's never seen me. {explaining} [8/8] Dado: ...uh. Okay, I have no clue why I told you all of that...um, have you got any more of those flowers though? It was actually really good... {nervous/confused} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Popo: Ah, you must- Wait, never mind. I was expecting a visit from someone else. {stops himself, informing} [2/5] Popo: Wait, you're Dado? I guess humans have more brain capacity than orcs after all, hehah! {surprised, mocking} [3/5] Popo: Okay, down to business. I'm gonna look busy to cover for you while you get to the base for briefing. You'll get the details there. {informing/explaining} [4/5] Popo: You stick out like a sore thumb, but thankfully humans like to get into lots of weird spots, so it won't look too out of place. {reassuring} [5/5] Popo: Use the small rail here, flick the lever. It'll look like you're just...doing what humans do, instead of drawing suspicion. {informing, hesitant then reassuring} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/10] Harnort: Interesting, a human's been swept up in our plans. Hadn't expected the work force to diversify so fast. {intrigued} [2/10] Harnort: Time for the rundown, oh I love explaining this! I think you'll find what I have to say quite interesting, yes yes! {informing, excited (suggestion: the "yes yes" can be like him assuring himself/talking to himself)} [3/10] Harnort: You see, quartz is a powerful magical material- moreso than many know! It can absorb and harness magical energy, but what more? I had to find out! {excited} [4/10] Harnort: The rubes in my research department got me kicked out for suggesting we further our research. What kind of scientist is scared to make advancements?! {scornful, mocking} [5/10] Harnort: But without a board of directors breathing down my neck, my research has led me exactly where I'd hoped, and even more, yes yes! {excited} [6/10] Guard: Oi. Got a guest taking the secret passage. {informing} [7/10] Harnort: ... {silence (realizing)} [8/10] Dado: Harnort! I'M Dado! This sicko mugged me for info! They're gonna ruin us both! {frantic, nervous/worried} [9/10] Harnort: Guards!! GUARDS!! Capture them! Stop them! Tie them up, do something!! Our research can't go to waste, not at this vital point!! {urgent, hurried, frantic} [10/10] Dado: HA! That's what you get for showing me that amazi- HORRIBLE flower! Outta here! {mocking} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Guard: Knock 'em down, boys! {commanding} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Guard: Aah, they're really tough!! Don't let them take down more of my buddies! {commanding/frustrated} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Guard: Why are we fighting face-to-face?! They're destroying us!! {loosing confidence, worried} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Guard: What the hell are humans made of?! Overwhelm them!! We hardly have any guys left! {desperate} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Harnort: ...so it's come to this then. I knew the names of all those guards. I didn't hurt anyone to meet my goal. {resentful} [2/5] Harnort: You...I won't let their sacrifices be in vain! Llevigar needs to see what quartz is truly capable of! I MUST show them. {determined} [3/5] Harnort: My Quartrons are the future! They need to see it! It will have been worth the scheming, and the thieving, and the burnt bridges! {determined} [4/5] Harnort: But you- you couldn't leave well enough alone. You stepped in, and callously threw away a hundred lives to stop the inevitable! {vengeful/angry, bitter} [5/5] Harnort: One life for a hundred is a fair trade!! {vengeful/angry} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Harnort: N-no! NO! NO, NO! You idiot, you blundering HUMAN! A hundred lives lost in vain to your destructiveness!! {panic, angry and annoyed} [2/3] Harnort: Why did they ever open the doors?! You all deserve to burn apart! You've ruined everything!! {angry, resentful, annoyed/frustrated} [3/3] Harnort: The Quartron's energy spike is overloading the lab's quartz! This entire room is going to explode and kill everyone in it! ARE YOU PROUD?! {explaining angrily} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/9] Nasea: ...you've got some serious explaining to do. First you disappear to go get that Tattle flower, or whatever it was. {confused (wants an explanation)} [2/9] Nasea: Then Dado ran through here screaming that he was drugged or mugged, and ran off to the east ridge. {explaining, confused} [3/9] Nasea: Then, he came back, asking me if I'd found any more of those flowers, and while he was blabbering the ENTIRE MOUNTAIN SHOOK. {confused, concerned} [4/9] Nasea: So, spill it. I wanted you to figure out where my quartz was going, and you made one of my workers an addict and caused a freaking landslide!! {annoyed} [5/9] Nasea: ...uh huh. Mhm. ... ...yeah, go on. Uh, okay, I can buy that... ...I'd never believe you if you hadn't given me the proof. {understanding} [6/9] Nasea: A militarized quartz mech...yeesh. That guy sounds like a piece of work. Guess that wasn't really your fault after all. {pity, relieved} [7/9] Nasea: I'll round up the police to get all those guards and them. ...what's with that look? Almost looks like you don't think anyone'll be there. Anyways... {informing, confused, brushing off} [8/9] Nasea: Okay, so I'll cut you a quick deal. I'll pay you now for figuring this out, and if you do just one more thing for me then you'll get something extra. {explaining} [9/9] Nasea: Take the elevator past the yellow flags and go into the private site, you have my permission. I'll meet you up there. {informing/explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Nasea: Coming up behind you. {informing} [2/6] Nasea: This is the newest mining annex, but we've hit a bit of a brick wall. Well...a gravel wall. {explaining} [3/6] Nasea: So, if you can open up this area, you'll get access to the mine and whatever you find in it. {explaining} [4/6] Nasea: You see the gravel wall? See if you can't dig through this for us. {explaining} [5/6] Nasea: Hm! Clean work there. Pretty impressive, I'd say. So, as promised, you have your mine access, and... {impressed} [6/6] Nasea: ...the core you showed me folded up into a ring. Really high-tech stuff, but I can't use it, so you can take it. Just head inside now. {reminding, explaining}
