: Frank the Excessively Honest Fox[+bye +job +name]
"I think thou dost ask too many questions."
You see a fox standing on his hind legs, staring directly at you.
name{
"My name is Frank, devout follower of honesty." He makes a slight bow.
[-name]
"And who wouldst thou be?"
}[+won't tell +AvatarName]
AvatarName{
"It is good that thou didst tell me. One should always be honest in one's dealings with others. By the by, thy voice crackles too much."
}[-won't tell -AvatarName]
won't tell{
"I am sorry to see that thou art not trusting enough to reveal thy name." He shrugs. "By the by, thy voice crackles too much."
}[-won't tell -AvatarName]
job{
"I," he says, "am on a quest. A quest for honesty." He sniffs the air, and then turns to you.
"By the by, thou mightest have more friends if thou didst bathe a little more often."
}[+friends +bathed]
bathed{
"Yes, as in `take a bath.' I must inform thee that thou dost truly stink!"
}[-bathed]
friends{
"Speaking of thy friends, I have heard that thy companion, Dupre, is a drunken sot."
<Dupre> "Hey, I don't think --"
"Yes, from what I have been told, that Dupre has no will when confronted by a tankard of, well, anything.
"As a matter of fact, thou hast fairly poor taste in companions overall."
}[+companions -friends]
companions{
"I am glad thou didst ask, <AvatarName>. Thy friend, Iolo, charges far too much for his bows. Perhaps thou couldst have a chat with him."
<Iolo> "Too much? What dost thou mean, too --"
"His bows and crossbows just aren't of the quality that is worth the kind of gold he charges."
He takes a step back.
"Gads! Thy breath could gag an ox. Thou shouldst consider taking better care of thy teeth, or thy fellows will leave thee."
}[+teeth -companions]
teeth{
"That is the reason for thine offensive mouth odor. I have not seen anything that yellow since the time thy fellow Shamino ran away from a battle in fear."
<Shamino> "Thou must be mad!" Shamino turns to you. "This rogue needs to be taught a lesson."
"And thy friend, Shamino, <AvatarName>, has quite a bellicose temper."
[+bellicose]
"And," he pauses, peering very closely at your face, "I never noticed how large thy nose is. 'Tis amazing thou canst find enough air to breathe."
}[+nose -teeth]
bellicose{
"Yes, bellicose, warlike, angry. If thou dost not know that, I believe thou needest to improve thy vocabulary. Thou art too unschooled."
}[-bellicose +unschooled]
unschooled{
"Trust me, <AvatarName>, thou art too ignorant to argue with me."
<> "Oh, this is too much!"
}[-unschooled]
nose{
"Truly quite large, and not in the least bit attractive."
}[-nose]
bye{
"Thou hast the manners of a pig. 'Tis not polite to break conversation so abruptly." END
