>Tell Sister Embers about your astronomer idea.
Acolyte: Uh...Sister Embers? I was thinking, maybe we should actually go see that astronomer. Acolyte: I mean, now that we don't have Brother Chalk around anymore, it might be good to have someone to- to, y'know, keep an eye on things. Acolyte: Just to make sure we don't miss our chance to summon Lord Argaleth. Sister Embers: Hmm. Sister Embers: Well, it is true that constant vigilance over the cosmos is an important part of summoning. Sister Embers: I suppose a visit would not be out of the question. Sister Embers: Of course, that would require us to be in Veriton, which we are not and do not plan to be in, so the entire conversation is pointless. Acolyte: Oh, sorry. Sister Embers: Still, at least I see you are capable of forming decent ideas. Sister Embers: Good. ==>
Acolyte: Speaking of good ideas, I thought of another one. Acolyte: Could we maybe not wear the robes? Acolyte: Or- or at least not the hoods? Acolyte: I know it's all about anonymity, but they just look so suspicious, people get freaked out by them. Acolyte: Maybe- maybe we could get a different way to disguise ourselves? Sister Embers: Unlike your other idea, this one is both terrible and non-negotiable. Acolyte: But- Sister Embers: I have spent my entire life wearing these robes. Sister Embers: One day I plan to die while wearing them. Sister Embers: They are staying on. Sister Embers: Is that clear? Acolyte: Okay, just- just forget I said anything. ==>
Acolyte: So, what's the plan? Acolyte: Do we go out and- Sister Embers: Here is a list of things I have deemed necessary to purchase, 300 gil, and an empty bag of holding. Sister Embers: We shall meet back here in two hours. Sister Embers: Time is of the essence. Acolyte: I'm- er- alright. ==>
You're not really sure what Sister Embers was thinking while making this list. Even if any of these things could be found in a common goods store, they would cost far more than 300 gil. Worst part is, you're probably gonna be blamed for not getting them. Sigh. ==>
Gene: Oh wow, Charlie wasn't joshin'! Gene: You really are hiding out here.
Acolyte: Oh great, it's you again. Acolyte: The jerk kid. Acolyte: What do you want? Gene: No, okay, look. Gene: I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday, ya know? Acolyte: You mean the one you tripped me with? Acolyte: Yeah. Gene: Yeah, and I feel, like, all super bad about that. Gene: I just wanna be friends now, mister. Gene: Here, *snicker*, have a free copy of today's newspaper. Gene: As a make-up gift. ==>
Gene: So, when are you gonna turn yourself in? Gene: The police station is open 24/7. Gene: Ooh, or you could go to the Church of Truth! Gene: They're based at Mr.Verdant's house. Gene: That could be fun, you'd get a speech before gettin' arrested. Gene: This is real excitin', mister. Gene: We ain't never had no real bad guys in Stonekey before! Gene: Just some stabbings. ==>
Acolyte: ...bad guys? Gene: Okay, okay, I get it. Gene: You got lots to talk about with your buddies now. Gene: Well, you have yourself a nice day. ==>
Sister Embers: I see you are still here, acolyte. Sister Embers: I'm sure you know how I feel about that. Sister Embers: I have attempted to negotiate for breakfast with the innkeeper. Sister Embers: It did not go well. Sister Embers: We must leave. Sister Embers: ...what are you reading?

>Explain to Sister Embers that you're both wanted.
Acolyte: We've got a problem. Sister Embers: Indeed. Sister Embers: That is a very unflattering artist's depiction of you. Acolyte: Sister Embers, are you sure you're reading the paper right?! Acolyte: We're both wanted! Acolyte: By the police! Acolyte: And they're gonna catch us, and arrest us, and- and- and we'll probably go to jail and- ==>
Sister Embers: As always, acolyte, you are far too easily riled up. Sister Embers: How many times have I had to explain this to you? Sister Embers: Your emotions are your greatest weakness. Sister Embers: Besides your overall incompetence, I mean. Sister Embers: This problem will be solved with some simple restructuring of the day's schedule. Sister Embers: Now let us walk. Sister Embers: There is no sense in staying here if the police think this is where we are. ==>
Acolyte: Where are we going? Sister Embers: I believe that we must leave this town. Sister Embers: Nothing good awaits us here now that we've taken the only mildly magical thing it had. Sister Embers: Before having to save you yesterday, I was on a reconnaissance mission. Sister Embers: And I believe I remember the existence of a coach station located a mere two blocks this way. Sister Embers: We shall board a carriage and leave the authorities none the wiser. ==>
Acolyte: Well what are we waiting for? Acolyte: Come on! Sister Embers: So a simple hood is suspicious but running and shouting in the streets is fine? Sister Embers: You have a strange perception of reality, acolyte. ==>
Acolyte: There it is! Acolyte: Time to get out of here. ==>
Acolyte: Okay, Sister Embers, I'll go and get the tickets since I still have the money you gave me. Acolyte: Maybe you could stand guard in case anyone comes- ==>
Sister Embers: Acolyte. Stop. Acolyte: Ow! Acolyte: What the heck?! Sister Embers: Not a "what", a "who". ==>
Acolyte: It's that Church of Truth guy from yesterday! Acolyte: I'd recognize that goofy cape anywhere. ==>
Acolyte: I wonder what he's doing here. Sister Embers: Irrelevant. Sister Embers: What you need to be wondering about is how to stop him being here. Sister Embers: He is directly in front of the ticket booth.

I think Sister Embers might be either a robot or an alien. Or both.

>Distract him.
Acolyte: Okay, I think I have a plan. Acolyte: I can go distract him by talking to him while you buy the tickets, Sister Embers. Sister Embers: Yes, that could work. Sister Embers: We shall follow this plan. Sister Embers: Try and acquire that bag of his also. Sister Embers: Who knows what kind of secrets it contains. Acolyte: I'm pretty sure there's just a sandwich in there, but okay. Acolyte: Let's go. ==>
"Stakeout is SUPER important, Rick!" "They're probably gonna try and skip town, Rick." "Don't be a dick, man." Ugh. Friggin' Jones. Sometimes the way he can boss you around gets you pretty mad. ==>
He's not even the boss of you. Actually, when you sent in the request to start a Church of Truth branch in Stonekey, the letter came back addressed to YOU. So, y'know, technically you're his boss. ==>
Acolyte: Oh wow, would you look at that? Acolyte: It's- it's you! And right here! ==>
Acolyte: Wow, what a funny coincidence, huh? Acolyte: Life can be like that sometimes. ==>
Rick: YOU! Acolyte: Yep, it's- it's me. Acolyte: Oh boy, I sure have made a mistake coming in here. Acolyte: I bet you've got a whole lot to say after what happened yesterday. ==>
Sister Embers: Hello. I would like to purchase a ticket. Cashier: Very well, miss. Where are you heading? Sister Embers: Why should I tell you? ==>
Cashier: ...I'm sorry? Sister Embers: I should say so, after that previous comment. Sister Embers: Now get me a ticket. And no more personal questions. ==>
Rick: You've made a big mistake coming here, villain! Acolyte: Hey man, come on, that hurts my feelings. Rick: Ha! Nice try! Rick: I know dark scum like you have no feelings! Acolyte: Seriously, you're being kind of a jerk. Rick: I'M being a j- YOU BLEW UP A HOUSE! Acolyte: That was an accident! ==>
Cashier: No, look, I HAVE to know where you're going if you want a ticket! Sister Embers: I do not respond well to extortion. Cashier: It's not extortion! I literally can't give you a ticket if I don't know where you're going! Sister Embers: What is stopping you? Sister Embers: So far it seems to be sheer laziness. ==>
Acolyte: Look, seriously, I'm trying to be nice here. Acolyte: Maybe we just got off on the wrong foot yesterday, we could get to know each other a little better. Rick: Me? Know you?! Rick: That idea is so laughable I won't even waste the energy to laugh at it. Rick: You oppose everything I believe in. Rick: There is no way I would ever want to know ANYTHING about you. ==>
Cashier: Okay! God! One ticket to Veriton, leaving in 10 minutes! Cashier: There! I got you a ticket without asking where the hell you were going! Happy?! Sister Embers: I suppose so, though your customer service skills leave a lot to be desired. Sister Embers: And here is your cash. ==>
Cashier: Good. Cashier: Thank you for using Stonekey Transportation. Cashier: Now get out of here. ==>
Sister Embers: Hello. Sister Embers: I would like to purchase another ticket. Cashier: OH COME ON! ==>
Rick: Listen here, cultist. Rick: No one wants you here. Rick: We do not care what you believe in and we do not need you peddling it to us. Rick: You messed with the wrong town, buddy. Rick: Because it's the one I live in. Rick: And I swear that I will NEVER stop until every single one of your kind is behind bars. Rick: Until even your children shudder when they hear the name- ==>
Sister Embers: Come on, acolyte. Sister Embers: I have acquired two tickets for a carriage leaving right now. Sister Embers: We must make haste. Acolyte: I-I'm sorry, man, I have to go. Acolyte: Maybe we could pick this up another time? Rick: Wh-wh- you can't- you can't do that! Rick: Hey! I'm arresting him! ==>
Sister Embers: Did the paladin prove to be any trouble? Acolyte: No, not really. Acolyte: I'm pretty used to verbal abuse by now. Sister Embers: Excellent. ==>
Sister Embers: Driver. Sister Embers: We have tickets to ride with you. Sister Embers: Quickly, get in your saddle or what have you. Driver: Sorry, ma'am. Driver: Smoke break. Driver: Ain't goin' nowhere til' this cigarette is gone. ==>
Sister Embers: Surely you know that nicotine is one of the most dangerous substances known to man. Sister Embers: Millions die because of it every year. Sister Embers: But if you quit right now, it may still be possible for you to see the birth of your grandchildren. Driver: I- you're right. Driver: I ain't lettin' no tobacco dictate my fate! Driver: Today is the first day of the rest of my life! Driver: Now get in. Driver: We're goin' to Veriton! ==>
Rick: NO! Rick: STOP IN THE NAME OF TRUTH! Rick: I NEED TO ARREST THEM! Rick: STOOOOOP! >Later.
Acolyte: Well, it definitely looks like we're out of Stonekey. Acolyte: Just looks like grass as far as the eye can see. ==>
Sister Embers: Good. We shall arrive in Veriton in a matter of hours. Sister Embers: With ample time left to plan. Acolyte: Yeah. Acolyte: ... Acolyte: Sister Embers? Acolyte: Can I ask a stupid question? Sister Embers: I was not aware you suddenly needed permission to ask stupid questions. Sister Embers: Usually you just do it without asking me. Acolyte: Sister Embers, seriously, this is important to me. Sister Embers: Very well. Sister Embers: What is on your mind, acolyte? ==>
Acolyte: It's just... what that guy said today. Acolyte: I don't know his name. Acolyte: Y'know, the paladin guy. Acolyte: He was really angry and all, but he wasn't that wrong. Acolyte: People really don't seem to like us. Acolyte: I mean,we're getting chased around by the police, by the Church of Truth... Acolyte: And we steal stuff and stuff. Acolyte: So I guess my question is: Acolyte: Are they right to not like us? Acolyte: Are we bad people?

Post by tailortf on May 1, 2016 11:05:47 GMT
==>
Sister Embers: *sigh* Sister Embers: It is good you came to me with this, acolyte. Sister Embers: To tell the truth, I have also struggled with issues of morality in the past. Sister Embers: But I can reassure you. Sister Embers: Everything we do is watched over by our Lord. Sister Embers: Our actions all lead towards a better world. Sister Embers: The rest of humanity merely does not see this, for their minds are clouded by sin. ==>
Acolyte: So... everyone else is a bad person? Sister Embers: No, no, of course not. Sister Embers: They have no choice but to think of us as villains. Sister Embers: That is what society has taught them. Sister Embers: Sin is ingrained in humanity. Sister Embers: It has rotted it to its' very core. ==>
Sister Embers: But I believe in redemption. Sister Embers: I feel that even the worst sinners may be saved through tireless work. Sister Embers: And in the end, they shall thank us for it. ==>
Sister Embers: Has my answer eased your mind? Acolyte: I suppose. Acolyte: I'm just more surprised you took off your hood. Acolyte: I don't think I've ever seen you do that. Sister Embers: Yes, well, this is a personal matter. Sister Embers: The kind that should not be discussed by faces hidden in shadows using hushed tones. Sister Embers: Now let us rest. ==>
Sister Embers: The future awaits. ==>
==>
==>
Wow. ==>
Looks like the Church of Truth is pretty serious around here. >Be more competent. You may gain something close to affection from Sister Embers.
You're right. If you're going to get your rank back -and be part of the cult in general- you need to step up your game. And what better place to do this than a new city? New place, new you. From now on, you're not making a single mistake ever again. ==>
Sister Embers: Acolyte, you are in my way. Acolyte: Oh, sorry! Sister Embers: Yes, you will be if you do not move quickly. ==>
Sister Embers: Now then. Sister Embers: As Grand Master Flame liked to say, "time to go save the world". Sister Embers: Let us divine a good way to start.

News Guy: So, you guys are here for the equinox gathering? Acolyte: You celebrate the equinox? News Guy: Well, the city officially doesn't, but the Church of Truth does. News Guy: It'll be tomorrow. News Guy: They're gonna open up the tower to the public for a day, it'll be great. News Guy: I hear the Truthbearer is even going to make an opening speech. ==>
Acolyte: Truthbearer? News Guy: Yeah man. News Guy: Leader of the Church of Truth? News Guy: She lives at the top of that big ol' tower in the middle of town? News Guy: If you folks are gonna stay here for any extended period of time, you really need to brush up on your local knowledge. News Guy: Veriton isn't too fun if you don't like the Church. ==>

: Excuse me, I couldn't help overhearing you. ==>
Lady: It's so nice to meet some fellow followers! Lady: Not that it's hard to do around here. Lady: But from your clothes, I assume you're new in town. Lady: I know it can be scary being in a new place, so I thought I'd come up and introduce myself. Francine: My name is Francine, second class cleric. Francine: Is there anything I could help you two with?
