Daily Discussions

Anything you need?
 

Player, you have my attention. Shall I give you some motherly advice?

→  Okay!
  Oh, it's so nice to have someone appreciate my kindness!
  Unlike some ungrateful children who will remain unnamed.
→  You're not my mother.
 

True, but I give very good advice.

→   Your advice is kind of toxic.
 

Toxic! Oh, I'm wounded, Player!

 

I come to you offering nothing but support, and you insult me.

player
  • sigh* Fine. Give me some advice.
 

What would you like advice about, dear?

→  Life.
  Well, life is a race, Player. If you're not winning, you're losing.
  And most people are forever losing. You must make sure you win -- always.
→  Romance.
  Oh my advice about romance is simple...
  Don't.
  It's never worth it. You can only depend on yourself.
→  Reasons I shouldn't leave my tower.
 

I see. Now you're the one teasing me. I'll remember that.

Do you never tire of looking at yourself?
 

Ahh, I never tire of looking at my cheekbones. High cheekbones are universally attractive, and mine are particularly fine.

 

Good bone structure is the foundation of beauty.

→  That's kind of creepy.
 

Only for those who don't share it, dear.

→  I imagine you like that because it doesn't fade with age.
 

Very insightful. Now be a dear and never speak to me of age again.

→  Beauty comes from the inside.
 

People say that, but they never mean it.

I love taking care of the Valley.
 

Ah, Player... It's occurred to me that only you and I have the interests of this Valley at heart; don't you agree?

→  Yes, I do.
 

Finally, someone who listens to me!

→  What makes you think that?
 

Well, just look around...

→  I think everyone cares for the Valley in their own way.
 

Perhaps, but how many of them have proof to support their claims? Few or none, I'm sure.

 

They're all living in their grand Houses, only caring for themselves and their personal whims. Unlike me. Why, I've truly dedicated myself to tending to the Giant Willow.

→  I love the Giant Willow!
  Then maybe YOU ought to live in it! Ha-ha! Only kidding, dear. Don't look so serious.
  After all, I was the one who helped you grow that Giant Willow in the first place, you know.
→  Why do you look after it?
  Because someone needs to! Plants are like children. They require constant care if you don't want them to grow up spoiled.
  I was the one who helped you make sure the tree would grow strong and tall. So... of course, I stayed to watch over it.
→  You can always stop, you know...
 

Then there would be no one to care for the willow I helped you grow. No, Player. I must stay where I am.

 

And that is proof that only you and I care about what's best for our Valley.

Something bothering you?
 

Have you seen that absurd stall in the Meadow?

 

Run by... who is it... Doofy? The selection is so paltry.

→  What do you mean?
 

The wares are nothing but bland, common items.

→  I like Goofy's Stall.
 

And I'm sure it's fine if you need something common, such as apples.

→  Excuse me. His name is Goofy.
 

Whoever he is, he has an inexcusably sparse stock.

 

It's completely useless if you're in need of more... unique... ingredients.

→  Like what?
  Well, as a purely theoretical example...
  A youth serum.
  Or parsnips.
→  Are you gonna brew evil potions?
  Evil potions? Never. Perish the thought.
  And don't ever confuse me with Ursula again.
→  You could talk to Goofy about it.
  I've spoken to that... individual.
  I fear that whatever changes he attempts to make will be less than inspiring.
What's wrong?
 

Player, I'm feeling a bit run-down. Unappreciated. Alone.

 

Say something to make me feel better.

→  Your hair is so dark and glossy.
 

I've often thought it's one of my best features.

→  Your dress sense is on point.
 

It is, isn't it? This is velvet, you know.

→  You're capable and cunning.
 

Mmm. That's true, I am.

 

Go on. There must be more.

→  You're absolutely ruthless.
  I'll assume you meant that as a compliment.
  Ahh, I feel much better now. Thank you, dear.
→  You're a strong, independent woman.
  I am, aren't I?
  Ahh, I feel much better now. Thank you, dear.
→  Your skin has very few wrinkles!
  Correction, dear -- my skin has NO wrinkles.
  Clearly, your eyesight leaves something to be desired.
You know so many things.
 

Player, I feel that I must share a bit of my knowledge of the world, so you have a chance to survive out here on your own...

 

Now, you must have noticed the flowers growing around the Village. So beautiful and majestic... like me! Ha-ha-ha!

→  I love flowers!
  Of course you do. After all, who doesn't?
  You must remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers...
→  What about them?
  Well, I know how children are, so I feel it needs to be said... Try not to eat them. It wouldn't be good for you. Also...
  You must remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers...
→  Ugh, flowers...
  Player, you really don't have an eye for beauty, do you?
  Oh well, not everyone can appreciate the finer things.
  Still, you should remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers...
 

[random response from the following options]

  • In the Plaza, you'll find Dandelions, a common, charmless weed that reminds me a little of you! Ha-ha, only kidding, dear. But also Penstemons of many colors.
  • If you want Rising Penstemons or Daisies, you'll have to go to the Meadow.
  • Some flowers even grow on the sand of Dazzle Beach. Hydrangeas and Sunflowers to be exact.
  • If ever you need Bell Flowers or Star Lilies, look under the trees in the Forest of Valor.
  • For example, if you visit my beloved Glade, you'll find all sorts of Marsh Milkweed. White, orange, purple, blue... Almost a rainbow of them.
  • But only one type of flower grows in the Frosted Heights -- the Passion Lily. Though it does come in many colors.
  • Bromeliads and Houseleeks grow only on the Sunlit Plateau.
  • If you feel brave enough to explore the Forgotten Lands, you can gather Impatiens and Nasturtiums. Appropriately named flowers for that ugly place, if you ask me.
  • You look like you have a question.
     

    Tell me, what do you think magic is, Player?

    →  Power.
     

    Oh, you couldn't be more wrong

    →  Cheap trickery.
     

    Ha! That skepticism will serve you well. But you're wrong.

    →  I'm not sure.
     

    Well, at least you're willing to admit your ignorance.

     

    Magic is simply an advantage.

     

    A tool to be utilized to meet one's goals.

    →  That's very cynical.
     

    Perhaps to you. To me, it's merely practical.

    →  That's very practical.
     

    Perhaps to you. To me, it's merely practical.

    →  I believe there's more to magic than that.
     

    And people will use that belief to take advantage of you.

    You look worried.
     

    Player! Did I see a gray hair in my reflection? Look at my hair. Is any of it gray?!

    →   No gray hairs.
     

    Oh, what a relief! One must be very careful about one's appearance, you know.

    →  You look great!
     

    That's kind of you to say. Of course it's true, but it's still sweet of you to say it.

    →  How old are you?
      Didn't anyone ever teach you that it's impolite to ask a woman's age?
      And I know you'd never be impolite to me. Isn't that right, dear?
    →  I see a wrinkle.
     

    AHHHH! NO! MY BEAUTIFUL SKIN!

    →   I see one gray hair.
     

    Grrr... I must find Rapunzel quickly. If only she cared about her poor, dear mother.

    →  You're such a good mother.
     

    I am, aren't I? Why ever would Rapunzel run away? She's terribly ungrateful.

    →  You only want her hair.
      What a horrid thing to say! I love my daughter.
      It's the cruelty of the world that wants to take advantage of her gift.
    →   Lots of gray hairs!
     

    No. NO! I'm becoming old and withered!

    →  You look fine.
      Do I? Well. Perhaps for now.
      But this is just the start. After the gray comes the wrinkles.
      I will NOT lose my youthfulness!
    →  There's nothing wrong with getting old.
      Ha! You're almost as deluded as my daughter.
      When you're old, the world discards you. You become... irrelevant. I WILL stay young, no matter the cost!
    →  Yep.
     

    So cruel. When YOU are old, I hope YOU have an unfeeling reprobate who taunts you with it.

    You seem to have a lot on your mind.
     

    Player, good. Let's talk through a purely hypothetical situation.

     

    If you were, say, tracking your wayward daughter through the forest...

     

    How would you convince her to come home?

    →  Ask her nicely.
      Yes, I'll just ask her politely to stop acting out and sit in her tower like a good girl.
      You've obviously never met a teenager.
    →  Trick her.
     

    Well, of course that's my instinct as well. I'm glad you agree, Player.

    →  Let her go.
     

    Never! Rapunzel belongs with me, and NOTHING will ever change that.
