NPC 253:
Cosmo, Unicorn Hunter in Destard Caves[+bye +job +name]
The wide-eyed expression of this youth seems indicative of his naivete.
"Why, hello there, Avatar," says Cosmo.
name{
"I am Cosmo, Avatar, betrothed of Ophelia."
}[-name +Ophelia +betrothed]
job{
"I am, uh, searching for something, AVATAR."
}[+searching]
betrothed{
"Aye, AVATAR, we are to be wed as soon I return to her silky arms."
<Cairbre> "Oh, please!" He rolls his eyes.
}[-betrothed]
searching{
"Well, AVATAR, 'tis a bit of a personal matter."
<Cairbre> "What he is searching for, AVATAR, is his virginity!"
"That is not true!" He blushes.
"I am looking for a way to -prove-... my virginity!"*
}[+proof +personal -searching]
personal{
"I would... rather... not discuss it, AVATAR," he stammers.
}[-personal]
Ophelia{
"She is the most beautiful woman in all Britannia. I still find it hard to believe she has agreed to marry me, a lowly warrior. I will travel to the ends of the world for her, if that be necessary, to keep her heart!"
}[-Ophelia]
proof{
He looks down at his feet. "Milady Ophelia is concerned that I might not be... pure. I have waited mine entire life for someone like her. Can she not see that I held myself for marriage?"
}[+pure +held -proof]
held{
"Surely thou dost see the value in that, AVATAR. No woman would want me if I had not refrained from... well... thou dost understand."
}[-held]
pure{
"I must prove to the lovely Ophelia that I am still a virgin. To do this I need to demonstrate that a unicorn will allow me to touch it. My friends and I are here to find such a creature, for recent legend purports that one lives in this dungeon."
}[+the unicorn said no -pure]
the unicorn said no{
"Thou hast seen the unicorn?" He frowns for a moment, but that quickly melts away.
"Nevertheless, I shall endeavor to seek it out. Nothing shall keep me from my beloved Ophelia."
}[-the unicorn said no]
bye{
"Good day, Avatar. If thou dost see the unicorn, tell it to wait for me."END
