NPC 109:
Brother Wayne, Geographer Lost in Despise[+bye +job +name]
You see a monk wandering around apparently without direction.
"Greetings, <AvatarName>. May I help thee?" asks Wayne.
name{
"Thou mayest call me Brother Wayne, <AvatarName>."
}[-name]
job{
"My job? Well, I, er, do not truly have one at the moment." He looks down at his feet.
}[-job +at the moment]
at the moment{
"Yes, I am... Well, I am lost, <AvatarName>. I am from the Abbey to the south of here... or to the north.... Mayhaps the northwest." He cradles his chin and looks up.
"Southeast?"
}[-at the moment +Abbey +lost]
lost{
"Well... I am sure it is not permanent." He blushes. "I just need to get my bearings, that's all," he says unconvincingly.
}[-lost]
Abbey{
"I am a monk of the Brotherhood of the Rose. I study geography and nature with a brother named Taylor."
}[-Abbey +Taylor +nature +geography]
geography{
"Well," he shrugs, "I suppose I should have studied a little bit better." He smiles sheepishly.
}[-geography]
nature{
"There are so many beautiful things to see in Britannia. Both animals and plants alike offer excitement to the observer."
}[-nature +plants +animals]
Taylor{
"Well, I haven't actually seen him for some time. I assume he is still continuing his studies."
}[-Taylor]
plants{
"Ah, yes, <AvatarName>, they are quite wondrous to see. I highly recommend to thee to always observe thy surroundings. Otherwise, <AvatarName>, thou wilt miss much in life: flowers, trees, birds... landmarks!"
}[-plants +birds +trees +flowers]
trees{
"Ah, my least favorite subject. I find the trees much less interesting than the birds."
}[-trees]
birds{
"My favorite type of animal! The birds are so free, able to fly vast distances. How I wish I could roam about the open skies... most especially considering my current situation. Thou canst see so much more from the air, I am certain of it!"
}[-birds]
flowers{
"Very, very lovely plants. All the colors of the rainbow, and then some. One of the monks at the Abbey had a lovely flower garden. She may still tend it for all that I know, <AvatarName>."
}[-flowers +She still does.]
She still does.{
"Excellent, <AvatarName>. I am glad to hear it. 'Twould be a shame were Aimi to give that up for her other... pastime."
}[-She still does. +other pastime]
other pastime{
"Aimi also paints. Or rather, makes a bold attempt. I must, of course, commend her for her efforts."
}[-other pastime]
animals{
"My favorite ones are the birds, especially the Golden-Cheeked Warbler. I love to follow and watch them. They do not seem to have a very good sense of direction, however." He sighs. "But there is a great variety of species in this land."
}[-animals]
bye{
"May thy good fortune guide thee down the trail of life." END
