Moon... June... pontoon...
|
|
UGH. These rhymes are terrible. What's the use?
|
→ Everything okay?
|
|
Oh! Player! Actually... I could use your help!
|
→ Need some help?
|
|
[unknown]
|
→ Don't let me interrupt your creative process.

You see, I've been trying to find some healthier ways to express my emotions. So I've been writing a lot of poetry.
|
|
But I'm really stuck on this one poem... about what happened to me. About the Forgetting.
|
|
There's one about being jealous and wishing I were still ruler, one about being afraid to get older, and one about being unfairly exiled.
|
→ Read me the one about the jealous ruler.
|
|
I once was the ruler of all I surveyed...
|
|
But now I'm cast out and I feel so afraid.
|
|
Nothing I do seem to make the world right...
|
|
Something something... that rhymes with "right."
|
player
|
Hm. That's a tough one.
|
|
→ Read me the one about being afraid of getting older.
|
|
As I watch the clock tick and the sun rise and set...
|
|
I fear what I love, I am doomed to forget.
|
|
But I've never been one to do what I'm told...
|
|
Then I need a line that rhymes with "told."
|
player
|
So many things rhyme with "told"... "fold," "bold," "cold"...
|
|
→ Read me the one about being unfairly exiled.
|
|
It seems there's no place I will ever belong...
|
|
And all of my words seem to come out all wrong.
|
|
But I'll wait for an answer, I'll wait for a sign...
|
|
Yada, yada, yada... something that rhymes with "sign."
|
player
|
Let me think about that one...
|
|
→ Maybe we could ask for help from the other Villagers?
|
|
You... want to ask the other Villagers? But... would any of them really get how I feel?
|
player
|
We've got a lot of Villagers here! I just know some of them will understand exactly how you feel.
|
|
And... you don't think they'll laugh at my poetry?
|
→ Of course not! Everyone will love it.
|
|
You know what? You're right! I'm just a little nervous about talking to them myself...
|
→ You can't let those fears stop you from sharing your creativity.
|
|
You know what? You're right! I'm just a little nervous about talking to them myself...
|
|
But here, I'll give you my scrap of paper with what I've written so far.<<give item>>
|
player
|
I guess now I'll just need to find a jealous wannabe ruler, someone afraid of getting older, and somebody who was unfairly exiled...
|
|
|
Conversation 2

player
|
Hey! I got some great suggestions for your poem.
|
|
You did? Really...? Nobody laughed at it...?
|
player
|
Not at all! Here. Check out these new lines...
|
|
Hmmm...
|
→ Read me the one about being a jealous ruler...
|
|
I once was the ruler of all I surveyed...
|
|
But now I'm cast out and I feel so afraid.
|
|
Nothing I do seem to make the world right...
|
|
...I'll take the darkness if I can't have the light.
|
|
... It's beautiful. Who suggested that line?
|
player
|
Believe it or not... Scar. He knows a thing or two about feeling that way.
|
|
Wow, really? I'll have to talk to him about that sometime...
|
player
|
I'm hoping this makes up for how he treated you.
|
|
Well... it's a start.
|
|
→ Read me the one about being afraid of growing older...
|
|
As I watch the clock tick and the sun rise and set...
|
|
I fear what I love, I am doomed to forget.
|
|
But I've never been one to do what I'm told...
|
|
I'll care for myself. Charm will never grow old!
|
|
Wow, that's deep! Who gave you that line?
|
player
|
Actually, Mother Gothel. I think she's pretty nervous about getting older herself.
|
|
Whoa, really?
|
player
|
Consider this her own special way of saying sorry for what she tried to do to you with that curse.
|
|
I can forgive her... but that doesn't mean I'll forget it.
|
|
→ Read me the one about being exiled...
|
|
It seems there's no place I will ever belong...
|
|
And all of my words seem to come out all wrong.
|
|
But I'll wait for an answer, I'll wait for a sign...
|
|
And one day take back what is rightfully mine.
|
|
Wow! That's intense. Who came up with that one?
|
player
|
Ursula. King Triton exiled her, you know.
|
|
Oh! Really? Well, that would be a good conversation starter...
|
|
→ What do you want to do next?
|
|
[continue to next line]
|
|
|
I'm so proud of this poem now. I... I think I actually want to share it with everyone in the Village.
|
player
|
Wow! That's a big step.
|
|
I know it is, but... I think I'm ready to do it!
|
player
|
Well, we could create a special place in the Village for sharing creativity, but you'll need a microphone for sure so everyone can hear you!
|
|
That would be great!
|
player
|
It shouldn't be too hard. We'll just need some Amethyst, a Black Passion Lily, Fabric, and Iron Ingots.
|
player
|
I'll get everything, and we can assemble it together.
