Moira/Conversations

Moira & Blodeuwedd
Our FIRST Home.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

I've been thinking about home lately...

Home? Yes, we all miss home, sister, but-...

No, not this home. Our FIRST home.

... Let it go... You don't need to think about that.

But I WANT to remember. Do you remember dad? Our REAL dad.

... I was too young...

I remember mom's voice, when she was singing lullabies for you. But dad... I can't remember even his face.

We were young... And Thorvald was kind to us. It's the only father we had, as far as I'm concerned.

Thorvald, yes... Despite the fact that he killed our REAL family, yes he was rather kind.

... Don't talk about that, you always get upset

You can't understand. You were too young, but I HAVE memories of the life that was stolen from us.

Overprotective Mother

This conversation will randomly occur during the natural course of the game.

You should cut some slack to your daughter you know? You're overprotective beyond reason.

... Thanks for your advice, dear sister... But you'll give me some when you raise a child of your own.


 * Blodeuwedd: -10 to Opinion of Moira.

I'm just giving you an outside view on the situation. She'll just end up hating you.

... That would mean that she's alive... As a mom, that's my TOP priority. Happy and fulfilled come second.

... Is it better to be alive and miserable than to be dead and happy in Valhalla? That applies for all of us, too...

... My belief is that if you're alive, there's a chance for happiness. Even if it's very long, even if it's very hard... Even if there is only the tiniest chance... But the possibility exists. When you're dead... You're dead. So let's keep on believing we'll be happy one day.


 * Blodeuwedd gains the positive trait Iron Will permanently.

Moira & Eirik
Thankful

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

Eirik? I know it’s kind of late now, but I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For letting me stay with you and the family at your house, back home. I know that I can be a burden, and I never thanked you for that.


 * Moira: + Depression.pngssion
 * Eirik: +10 to Opinion of Moira

-
 *  Joke. 

It was your sister’s choice, but I respected it. l just thought you would have married a poor guy in a few weeks time.

I’m not stupid, I want to try my fair share of men before I decide myself... You must try many weapons before settling on "the one".


 * Moira: - Depression.pngssion
 * Moira: +10 to Opinion of Eirik

Aha, I’m glad your sister didn’t follow your example!

She’s too wise for that.


 * Moira: -5 to Opinion of Blodeuwedd

-
 *  Be serious. 

It was your sister’s choice, but I respected it. I know that your bond is very strong since what happened in your childhood.

Eric, the Sage, as they call him. Yeah, it was... not nice.


 * Moira: + Depression.pngssion

But that's another story, let's focus on the one where we starve on a strange, godforsaken island.

A Piece of the Puzzle

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Hey Eirik, I "found" some beer today. Want to share?

I can't say no... Thanks Moira!


 * Eirik: +10 to opinion of Moira.
 * You gain Beer.

No need to thank me... That's what we do in the family.

Skol!


 * Eirik: - Depression

... I keep on asking myself, who were those men who burned our home?

... Hagbard.

What?

... They were Hagbard's men.

...! Hagbard like in Hagbard "Thor's Hammer"? That's what you're saying?

Yes.

The own brother of the Jarl. Wow. I would never have guessed. And how would you know what Hagbard's men look like?

... I know it, that's all.

Hmmhmm...

... I raided with him once, when I was young and foolish.

I see... And you knew this the whole time and didn't tell us anything? Why?

What good would that have done to you? Them or any other, it doesn't change anything.

No... But it's a piece of the puzzle... If I can have all the pieces, I MAY finish it.


 * Moira gains the positive trait Riddle Solver for 3 days.
 * Moira gains the negative trait Inquisitive permanently.

Bastard

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

So Eirik, you want to talk now?

...? Bout what?

You know what...

...Don't test my patience Moira, not in the mood, not tonight.

Okay, okay... Straight to the point then... Why did they call you a "bastard", those men who burned our home?

...

You must know something, right?

...No.

...

...

Okay... Good night then.

Moira & Kari
That's What She Said

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Pffff. .. Working all day long in these conditions... That's SO hard!

That's what she said.

And I'm so hungry...

That's what she said.

And I dream that we had so much water... That I could shower my face with the precious juice!

That's what she said... (Not proud of that one)

And when I see how Bjorn is taking all we have...I just want to shoot my arrow into his big fat ass!

That's what.. Huh... HE said.

...Why are you smiling?? You are mocking me again!


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Moira

Wet Sticks

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Gnngnn, these woodsticks you brought are too wet Moira, we can't use them.

Oops. It's just that this one reminded me of a man I once knew...

...? Wot? Cause he was wet?

Not him. Me.

...?? You fell off a drakkar and he dived to rescue you?

Ooh he dove... VERY deep...

...! You must have been scared!

I was scared at first, seeing his size. But then it felt... SO good... You can't imagine little girl.

Hmpf. A tall random dude rescues you from drowning and you fall in love... YOU'RE the little girl.


 * Kari: -10 to Opinion of Moira

Don't say that word. My only piece of advice to you Kari, despite a man's size, NEVER fall in love.

Gifted Tongue

Moira, I wanted to ask you, where did you learn to be so gifted with the tongue?

... A girl I met in a tavern on the English coast. She taught me many things that night...

In one night only?? She must have been a good teacher.

Ooh yes she was good. Much more experienced than I was at the time. Her long fair hair. Her soft thin lips. Her freckled skin so pale... Hmmmm...

Hmmkay... She was educated AND pretty. Good for her.

Very wild too... I couldn't budge from my bed for two whole days.

Wow... She beat you? Our teacher at home beat us too, he said that's the only way we could learn something. But I didn't want to. Maybe that's why I'm dumb.

Her touch... Hmm...

Hey! Wake up!

... Hmm?

I understand why she hit you, if you dazed off like this all the time...

Moira & Cissé
Moira... Moira... Moira...

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Moira... Moira... Moira... What does your name mean? I am intrigued.

It means "The one who rips men's balls off with her bare hands", if I remember well.

Ow! Your parents must have an interesting history to give such a name to their daughter.

Sheesh... I'm kidding... It actually means "Fate". Basically the same thing, but with a slightly more serious tone, I guess.

Fate... Hmmm... Our encounter must have been decided by Fate then!


 * Mock him.


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * There must have been a problem... I asked Fate to bring me two big muscular naked men... Not a tiny, weirdly dressed, skald!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Aha... Fate can be cruel sometimes. Almost as much as you!


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * ... You know how to talk to ladies, Cissé... No wonder you are still a virgin.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * But! I thought we were joking! My sincerest apologies Moira, I didn't mean it...


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * AHAHAH! You're too easy to mess with. You lose, Cissé!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... It reminds me of an old saying in our land that... You always learn a lot more when you lose than when you win.


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Be prepared to learn A LOT from me, then...


 * Ask about his name.


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Cissé... Cissé... Cissé... What does your name mean?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * My full name is Cissé Kouyaté... When I come form, it is a famous name. My family serves the Emperor. We sing the story of the mightiest people of our sunny land.


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * You served an emperor, and you managed to end up on this forgotten rock. Were you bad at your job?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... Quite the contrary, some would say... It's not really a story I'd like to sing right now...


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Hmmkay... I don't really care, for starters.

The Lion's Whisker

This only occurs after the previous event "Moira... Moira... Moira..."

Moira, do you want to hear a sweet tale from my beloved sunny land?

It can't be worse than the continuous laments I hear daily, so yes, please entertain me. Or die trying.

It won't bore you, I promise. This is the story of the lion's whiskers... Once upon a time, a young man and a young woman lived in a small village. They were meant to be married, but the man loved the woman more than she did, and it made him sad. So the young man went to the oldest man in the village and asked for his guidance.

Let me guess, they got drunk, the old fart gave him some stupid manly advice, and the marriage failed?

No, no... He told him eh could brew a magic potion to light her fiancé's flame, but he was lacking an ingredient. What the old man needed was a whisker taken from a living lion. So the young man resolved to go fetch one. It took him four weeks, bringing meat to a lion, watching him feed, getting a little closer every day... Until the day he was close enough to quietly pull a whisker from the lion's mighty chin!

Then the lion ate him, and the young woman married the old man, who also happened to be filthy rich?

No! The young man triumphantly brought the whisker to the old man, so he could brew the potion. The elder was in awe. "You were brave enough to pull a whisker from the chin of a living lion! You don't need magic to make a woman love you. Can you not use that same courage and patience for her?" So the young man went to her fiancé, and within a year, they became the happiest couple in the village.


 * Nice try, young man!


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png

Let me guess: the "lovers" are actually older, there's no lion, and given enough time, the tale could become reality? I have to admit, this is way more subtly, and even charming, compared to what I'm used to. But you're not my type, Cissé... I prefer them tall and dumb. And good in bed.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Aha... As we say, only a fool tests the depth of a river with both feet. I'll overwhelm you with kindness and wisdom until you change your mind, Moira!


 * Cissé: +10 to opinion of Moira


 * Okay, that's cute!


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png

I'd say the young man is a suicidal numbskull, not to mention the old pervert who is a manipulate scumbag. But both are bold enough to spark my interest... to some degree. That was a nice story, Cissé. No doubt you know how to tell them.


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Cissé


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Glad you liked it. I hope to tell you many more, in time. This is what I live for!


 * Cissé: +20 to opinion of Moira
 * Cissé: - Depression.png Depression

Sharp Spirit

This only occurs after the previous event "The Lion's Whisker"

Moira, I have a question about something that has been eluding me for a while.

l have a feeling you will be disappointed by my answer, no matter what you have in mind. But shoot.

Well... How come you've never been married? I'm sure many men would enjoy your sharp spirit.

Ha! That's the most flattering way a man has ever asked me this freaking question! As a matter of fact, my spirit is so sharp it tends to cut their dicks off before they can ask a second question.

Ow! It reminds me of an old saying in our land that... the most dangerous thing a man needs is a woman. But since it seems we'll never leave this island, have you thought about settling one day?


 *  This Will Never Happen. 


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Look, I enjoy a good man from time to time. Even a woman. But I don't want to be trapped. I like my freedom above anything else. And children? No. Way. I mean, look at my niece! I live with myself, and that's already complicated enough for me.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

... I see... A fish and a bird may fall in love, but the two cannot build a home together.


 * Cissé: + Depression.png Depression


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

If you're implying I look like a fish, I may use an object sharper than my spirit to hit you...


 * Moira: -10 to opinion of Cissé


 *  Not Really. 


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * I've never given this much thought. Most men I've been with were worthless pieces of trash. And raising a family on a deadly magical island doesn't sound like the smart thing to do at the moment. Also, a man I'd live with could find me rather demanding... and not ONLY in bed.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * It reminds me of an old saying in our land that... the buttocks are like a married couple... Though there is constant friction between them, they will still love and live together.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * ...? AHAH! You say all kinds of weird stuff in your sunny land, but I have to admit, I've grown rather fond of it.


 * Moira: - Depression.png Depression


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * You're a man full of surprises Cissé. .. I can't take that away from you.


 * Moira: + 10 to opinion of Cissé

People of the Mind

This only occurs after the previous event "Sharp Spirit"

You'll never cease to amaze me, Moira!

By my beauty? I know, I know... Men say that all the time.

Aha, I'm amazed by that too, but I was speaking of your vast knowledge. You are a real asset to this community, you know?


 * Cissé: +20 to Opinion of Moira

Tell that to my sister... She always says that I'm lazy... I MAY sometimes take a little nap in the afternoon, but being intelligent is TIRING, you know?

Oh, I know very well... We are people of the mind. People of the body tend to despise us. As we say, you cannot convince a monkey that honey is sweeter than a banana!


 * What else amazes you in me?


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

What else amazes you when you see me?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Many things! There is a bad saying in my homeland, that every woman is beautiful until she speaks. This proverb has never proved to be more wrong! Everytime I listen to your voice, I am mesmerised.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

You don't think I'm too mean...? Sometimes? All the time?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

No! Not if you listen carefully with your mind and your heart! As they say, there are many colorful flowers on the path of life, but the prettiest have the sharpest thorns.


 * Moira: +10 to Opinion of Cissé


 * You compare my sister to an animal?


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

I like it when you compare my sister to a wild beast.


 * Moira: +5 to Opinion of Cissé


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

BUT...! Since I have the privilege to share the same blood, that would make ME a wild beast too! Thank you, Cissé. Very nice.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

That's not what I...! No no no...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Humpff... I'll go now. I have poo to throw to my fellow monkeys.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

(... Is she really mad? I should apologise when I can, just in case...)


 * Cissé: + Depression.png Depression

Moira & Eustache
Born in Boulogne.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Hey handsome. So you come from the kingdom of France?

How would you tell?

I met a man from there once. A terrible lover. You have the same scent.

Indeed, I was born in the county of Boulogne. But I traveled a lot.


 * Tell Me About Your Travels.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * Travel you say? Tell me all about it, I desperately need to make my mind travel.


 * Eustache Dialogue Tag.png
 * I've sailed a lot between the English coast and France, for my errands. But the most wonderful place I've been is without hesitation the fortress of Toledo, very far to the south. The impregnable walls of the fortress. The scorching sun. The towers filled with secrets. And gold. Golden ore the size of your head.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * What did you do there?


 * Eustache Dialogue Tag.png
 * I was... I was in training, you could say.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * To be a monk?


 * Eustache Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... Yes, to be a monk. If you'll excuse me, I must go fetch some wood for tonight.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * (A quick dodge! Why do handsome men always have something to hide?)


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Eustache


 * Tell Me About Your Home. 


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * You speak like a nobleman. Are you?


 * Eustache Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... Ahahaha, you're a clever bird, my dear! I surrender! I can't hide anything from you... I was born in a noble family, indeed.


 * Eustache: -10 to opinion of Moira


 * Eustache Dialogue Tag.png
 * But as my brothers were more versed than I in the arts of war and politics, I chose to devote my life to God. It was better for everyone...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * I sense some regrets in your voice. Did you leave your castle really by choice?


 * Eustache Dialogue Tag.png
 * Regrets... I have a handful of those. But the decision to leave the political game to others is not one I regret. You see my dear, I think that politics may as well be the most visible form of the manifestation of the devil in this world.

Free Minds

This event only occurs after the family event "The Black Monk"

So, attacked by a drakkar, huh? The terrible pirate forced to his knees before the Norsemen's might...

When you take the path of violence, you KNOW that you'll meet someone stronger than you. The only question is WHEN.

Guess you didn't fully trust us either when we met you? Given that Norsemen were the cause of your fall.

You could say that. I don't trust anyone either way. That's the lesson life has taught me many times.

Poor boy. A woman perhaps?

Ah! When you know women like I do, you trust them, because you know how their little heads work. It's men who are treacherous. I wouldn't trust even my own self.

I KNOW men too... I'd say they are quite simple to understand, once you see them naked.

How many have you had?

... Enough so that people in the village called me a witch.


 * Moira: + Depression.png Depression

A man can sleep with as many women as he wants, he will be called a hero. But a woman has only two choices: being a child, then being a wife. And when you don't want to be a wife, and you surely aren't a child anymore... They call it the devil's work.

People don't like to be reminded that they live in cages. Free minds like us scare the shit out of them.

The good thing is, here, no one's judging us...


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Eustache

Moira & Gudrun
Glad To Have You On Board

Glad to have you on board... People should start stopping calling ME a witch.

You don't hear the voices?

Voices? ... Apart from the voice of an old lady, no.

Pwah! You hear them. They told me. You just don't know yet.

... I *feel* things, sometimes... Like a chill... Or a headache...

No no no! Dumb girl. It's just a cold. *sigh* You have much to learn...

...!


 * I don't want to learn




 * Teach me master!


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... And I assume that you could teach me all these secrets?


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png
 * AH! I could indeed, yes... Hmmhmm... But are you ready to go all the way through? I may not seem like it, but I'm old. My time on Midgard is almost finished.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * Oh, if I can put your mind at ease, you LOOK and ACT old. And I won't talk about the smell...


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png
 * AH! Teeheeheee...


 * Gudrun +20 to opinion of Moira

The Dead Jarl

My sister told me that you MAY come from our hometown?

...

You knew the jarl?

The dead one? Yeah.

Magnus' father? You're THAT old?

No. And no.

... You're talking about Magnus HARALDSON...? Tall. Long beard. Curly hair. Long axe.

Little Magnus, yes... You're quite slow for the smart one of the group, you know?

But... He's not dead...

AH! Dead as my hopes to make this good-looking Björn my husband!

Dead... He died while we were at sea, then.

No no no... Dumb girl! He died the day you left.

What?! How would you know?

I KNOW when he died. And I KNOW when you left. Same day.

... (VERY suspicious! Hmm...) And who is Jarl now? He didn't have any sons.

His dumb brother. "Thor's Hammer" they call him. Pwah!

Hagbard.

Yeah. Him. *spit*

Hmmhmm...

Völva Secrets I

Dumb girl! It's time.

Time for your daily poop, granny?

No no no... Hrmpff... Time for you to learn the secrets of the Völva.

...

If I don't force a few things into your bird brain, this power will be lost forever.

What kind of power are we really talking about? Apart from the power to rebuke anyone, and to fall asleep at any time, I haven't seen much magic from you.

Teeheeheee... It's because you don't know how to look. Magic is strong on this island. You'd feel it too, if you were trained.

... I MAY feel something in the air... Whispers in the wind.

Yes... Yessss... Close your eyes and empty your brain of any thoughts.


 * Gudrun +10 to opinion of Moira

It should be easy for you.

...!

Did you see it?

I-... I'm not sure... It was like when you try to remember a dream. I saw... Something... In the sky and beneath our feet at the same time. Something beyond reason, something not belonging to Midgard.


 * Moira gains the trait Special Trait Icon.png Völva Apprentice I permanently.


 * Moira: + Depression.png Depression

... The magic here is very different from what I'm used to. I never felt it so easily, but as the same time, in such a wild form.

...

If what you saw raised your interest, we'll talk again. And you'd better listen!

Völva Secrets II

Are you ready to be taught?


 * Nope


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

WRONG! I will teach you. Shut your big teethy mouth now.


 * Gudrun: -10 to opinion of Moira


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

I'll teach you how to invoke a storm.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Easy. You just have to ask Thor. Nicely.


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

WRONG! He is drunk most of the time. He doesn't listen. You have to catch a fish, the lingcod. Ask that simpleton Eirik to do it for you, if you're lazy. You carve the Vindgapi magic symbol on its head. Then, you use a crow's feather to put some blood from your right foot on the symbol. DON'T TOUCH MY CROW! Find your own. *spit* Then you impale the fish head on a stake and sink it where sea and earth join together. Turn the fish head in the direction where the wind should blow.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

... That's it?


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

AH! Remember, the higher the fish head is, the stronger the storm will be.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Okay, okay... That's very... Specific.


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

AH! What were you thinking? That black magic was invoked by chance? Pwah!


 * Moira gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.pngölva Apprentice II permanently.


 * Yes master



Völva Secrets III

I've taught you theory, now let's practice. Bring me some water.

Here master. Are we going to make a potion?

No. I was thirsty. We'll make a ritual. Nábrók.

Nábrók? Death... Pants?

Necropants, yes. Will bring you wealth. Now come.

Gudrun leads Moira to a small cave not far from camp, under the moonlight.

Where are we? I never noticed this cave before.

Shh... You'll scare out little friend. Teeheee.

That's when Moira noticed a man, one of Björn's men, lying in a pool of blood.

WHAT THE...!!!

Tsk tsk, don't be a wuss... He's almost dead. I brought him here after one of your stupid fights. So, back to our ritual. You have to get his consent.

... For what?

Exhume his body and cut him up from belt to his feet.

WHAT?!

Do it. We don't have all night.


 * No way...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

You're kidding me, right? No way I'm doing this...


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

Tsk tsk tsk... We just started, and you're already failing.


 * Gudrun: -20 to Opinion of Moira


 * Gudrun swiftly unsheathes a knife and slices the man's throat.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

HEY! YOU'RE CRAZY?!


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

AH! He was agonizing, dumb cow! You'd prefer I let him suffer for days?


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

...


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

&#42;Grumble* Wasting good ritual material like that *grumble* *grumble* should slice HER throat... *grumble*


 * Gudrun: -20 to Opinion of Moira


 * It's part of the training...



Völva Secrets IV

Hmrpff... You, come here.

You could learn my name someday, you know? It doesn't hurt.

How do they say "ugly cow" in welsh?

Forget it...


 * Moira: + Depression.png Depression

You're progressing poorly. You're too slow.

You're a very bad teacher, you know?

AH! We'll need to take a little shortcut... I have made some preparations... You'll only need to...

What will I need to do this time... Cut the breasts from my sister and wear them with pride?

No, that's just ridiculous. You'll have to make... A human sacrifice.

...

...

That's all?

That's all.

And where will I find someone willing to give his life for me?

You can kill me. I've done my time here.

Seriously?

Kekekekekeke... Of course, dumb cow. You sacrifice me, you take a considerable amount of power. Transferring my power to a young body. Nothing wrong with that.

(By the gods... She's dead serious!)


 * I will do it


 * No way...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Gudrun... I can't kill you...


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

Tchh! I suspected you would chicken out...


 * Gudrun: -20 to Opinion of Moira


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

AH! Good idea! A chicken should suffice. Bring me a chicken.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

But Gudrun... We only have sheep on this island.

BRING ME A SHEEP, THEN! *Grumble* *grumble* If it's all you have... *grumble*

 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png

&#42;Grumble* A WILD one... Or else the magic will be weak. I'll finish the preparations, next time we talk... We'll have to do it.

It's time.

... Hmm, maybe tomorrow? I don't feel good tonight...

WRONG! Tonight the moon is good. It's time I said. You're ready, dumb girl?

Moira & Parvaneh
Pleased to meet you!

Parvaneh? Pleased to meet you, I'm Moira. So tell me, what did you do for a living before... This whole situation.

Pleased to meet you too! I was a royal dancer, I performed for our lord and for visiting dignitaries.

Are you a slave? The only dancing women in our land are slaves of the jarl.

No, no! Of cource not! It's a prestigious position in our land, I was treated with the upmost respect. I slept on gigantic pillows made of satin, everyday I got a new dress and new jewels... This was like a dream.

And did you to... Perform privately... With men?

Whaaat? No no no! Never! I've never been...

You'll say to me that you have never been with a man before?

Of course! My dance would be tainted then. No, we don't have the right. A small sacrifice, for a life of luxury!

Small sacrifice? You don't know what you're talking about my dear, believe me...


 * Parvaneh: -10 to opinion of Moira

Why do you hate Yaghoub?

This event seems to only occur after the previous event "Dirty Talk" between Moira and Yaghoub.

Why do you hate that charming Yaghoub so much? You two came together from the same shipwreck, but I don't see you ever talking to eac other.

Oh... He's not really interesting.


 * Parvaneh: -20 to opinion of Yaghoub

I don't want to lose my precious time talking to him... Life is short, I want to meet new faces!

Hmmhmm... So you're saying you'd give your trust more easily to a bunch of strangers than someone you already know? How long has it been since you two have known each other, by the way?

&#42;sigh* Too long... I've lost track of time.

... Did he hurt you?

No, no... Yaghoub? He wouldn't lay his hand on a woman. Now that you make me think of it, I've never seen him TOUCH a woman at all...

...? He does seem interested in me though...

Noooo? Is that true? You can find waaaaaay better, trust me!

I don't know... He is way above the average man I usually sleep with.

He is nothing compared to that handsome and strong Eirik... Heeheehee.


 * Parvaneh: +10 to opinion of Eirik

Oops! Forget about what I said!

Ahah... Beware, my sister used to decapitate they pretty girls who dared dance around Eirik, back home.

...! That's horrible! If she doesn't know how to keep a man... That's her own fault...


 * Parvaneh: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

If I Were Your Sister

If I were your sister, I would watch over my girl a bit more closely...

Don't you think she's already being overprotective?

Oh! Yes she is! A real tyrant, worse than Björn! No, I was talking about the irrepressible desires that are rising in her body heehee.

Erm... That would be a first... Believe me, I've tried to speak to her about these kinds of things.

I don't know... I see her talking a lot with that snake Yaghoub. They seem to get along very well! I even saw them go exploring together twice the other day. And... I know for a fact that he is well into younger girls...

...

A Wooden Deer

Ah this Eirik... He is such a sweetheart... I didn't tell you what he made for me? He carved a nice little deer for me, in a piece of wood! That was so sweet! I couldn't resist kissing him in gratitude! On tghe cheek, of course... Teeheehee

It doesn't sound like our Eirik at all! Still... He has been keeping a lot to himself lately... He has changed.


 * Moira: -10 to opinion of Eirik

Hmm? Oh I don't know, he doesn't seem so secretive to me. We speak A LOT.

...


 * Drama incoming! Fun!


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * Oh oh oh! I would like to see the look on my PERFECT sister's face if she saw you kiss her man!


 * Moira: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

 * Teeheehee... Don't worry, there's nothing between Eirik and me... Nothing yet. Heeheeheeheehee!


 * What does she want?



Moira & Shanaw
Medicine Woman.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Is Moira... Medicine woman of tribe?

Oh, yes, I'm a living remedy to everyone's ailments and problems, indeed! People come to me, I send them back with my foot in their ass. Works most of the time!

Ha! Moira Iikes jokes. Shanaw Iikes jokes! But what Shanaw mean is... Moira talks to spirits, yes?

Oh, I talk a lot, but they never listen. We wouldn't be stranded in this shit hole if they did, would we?

What about devils? Moira talks to them too?

- I'm not sure what you mean by "devils", but I guess our neighbours could fit that description. I kind of wish Bjorn's cutthroats were devils, because that would excuse them. Men are wicked enough to not add devils in the mix, don't you think.
 * I only know humans. 

... Men ARE devils!

Well said, girl. But WE are supposed to be temptresses, never forget that. It's what most of these idiots believe anyway, so we'd better use it to our advantage, right?

-
 * I'm better at listening. 

As I said, most of the time, spirits don't give a crap about what I want, so I try to let them do the talking. And what I hear most often makes no sense, so... Even if I'm told I’m a witch, I know no devil. But you seem to know one, Shanaw. Who is Aich-mud-yim?

Don't say name! Aich-mud-yim is Black Man. Hunter of hunters! Aich-mud-yim followed Shanaw here. Shanaw can feel it. Shanaw didn't use red powder for protection, and Shanaw can't find any on cursed island... So it's only matter of time before Aich-mud-yim catches Shanaw...

Let him come, girl. If he's a man, a good kick in the balls will make him think twice, trust me.

...

Talk to the Dead.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Medicine Woman".

Medicine-woman knows how talk to dead? Yes?

I wish I could. I'd tell all of my ancestors to go fuck themselves. Preferably with a rusty spear.

Insult ancestors? Why would Moira do that?

Because most of them were worthless savages and hopeless idiots, that is why. I'm in this mess because an awful lot of people before me thought having sex was a good idea. Should I honor them for that? Or for the countless ways they killed each other for any reason?

...But if Moira could talk to Ancesters... Moira ask them why Ancesters did bad things, right?

So they'd come with pathetic excuses, if any excuses at all? I wouldn't even bother. Why are you asking me this, girl?

-
 * Is there some dead you want to talk to? 

Do you have someone particular in mind? Your grandmother? Your pet rabbit, maybe?

Silly, Medicine-woman!


 * Shanaw: -10 to opinion of Moira

Do not make fun of dead, or dead will play with us.

As I said, maybe they already are... They sure did, at some point.

The Black Man will come and take us to the bottom of the sea!

Fear not, child. The Red Woman and her rusty spear will wait for him resolutely...


 * Shanaw gains the negative trait Scared for 3 days.

-
 * Do you have any link with spirits?

???

-

Red Ochre.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Talk to the Dead".

Medicine-woman, you have some red ochre Shanaw could use?

Do I look like a painter? Besides, why would you need this? Red isn't really suitable for hunting.

For protection! Ward off evil spirits. Keep Black Man away!

Is that a figure of speech for feeling depressed? Nobody saw any Black Man since we arrived. And nobody is painted in red. So I don't think you need any... What you need is probably a hug.

...

Don't look at me like that. I am not a provider of hugs.

-
 * I didn't see any spirit. None. 

???

-
 * This place is under my protection.

Fear not, my child. I have my bag of bones, and the runes have spoken. No spirit is allowed to follow you here, not while I'm around. I have crafted a set of protection spells that keeps them away. Any spirit you see won’t be real, only a figment of your imagination. Try not to think about them, and they will stay undisturbed in the dream world. The more you think about them, the more powerful they become, so don't give them any chance.

Uh... Right, Medicine-woman. Shanaw will do as you say. Thank you!


 * Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Moira
 * Shanaw gains the positive trait Spirit Ward for 3 days.

You're welcome, child. (That was easier than I thought...)

Moira & Lady Tomoe
Quite Impressive.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Moira? I wanted to say to you, your knowledge of plants and remedies is quite impressive.


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

Thanks Tomoe. It feels good to be appreciated for something that caused me so many tears in the past.

How so?

My knowledge of things unknown to most men is what made them think l was some sort of demonic witch. There has been a few complicated situations. At some point, my house eventually got burnt to dust. "Magically".

I see... Commoners tend to be very dumb about things higher than them. At my court, you would have been treated with the upmost respect.

Ah, I'll drink to the magnificent life I could not have then! Thanks Tomoe, I feel completely depressed now...

...! My apologies Moira! I didn't mean to...

Ahaha... You're too easy to mess with. I don't mean half the things I say, so don't get worked up everytime. l don't like to make kind souls look like fools. It makes me feel a bit sad. Sometimes.

-

Tomoe's Past, Part I.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Care to join me for a drink?

...

...Okayyy... I'll take that for a "yes". Cheer up Tomoe, we're at the gates of Hel, but at least we've got beer.

...

Hum, anyways... You were a noble where you lived before?

Noble... *sigh*


 * Lady Tomoe: +10 Depression

Yes, one could say I was. Daughter of a powerful lord. Wife of an even more powerful lord. Mother of a lord to be...

Impressive! And how did a lady like yourself end up on an island like this?

... Something happened. I was forced to run away. The code of honor has been broken.


 * Lady Tomoe: +10 Depression


 *  What Happened? 

"Something" happens a lot… But what is this something? I'm burning with curiosity here!

…

What?

…

Come on! You can't stop the discussion just like that!

…

… Okay, okay… Good night.


 * Moira: -10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe


 * Lady Tomoe gains the negative trait Secretive permanently.


 *  The code of honor? 

What is this "code" you're always referring to?

Commoners can't understand.

... If you care to explain, you'd see that I can understand A LOT.

...


 * Lady Tomoe: +10 to opinion of Moira

My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude. It's just that only knights follow the code, common people don't understand the meaning. They only see it as a set of rules, although it's much more than that. But we can finish this talk another time, I'm tired.

-

Tomoe's Past, Part II.

This event only occurs after the previous event, "Tomoe's Past, Part I".

You didn't tell me about your tragic past. Are we friends enough so that you'll open up to me? Or are we still strangers.

Friends is a strong, powerful word. But I can say that I don't dislike you, Moira.


 * Lady Tomoe: +10 to opinion of Moira

I don't dislike you either. I love secrets above everything else. And I can say that you're full of secrets behind your shell.


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

If only I could crack this wall a bit... What's your weak point? Tickling?

Aha, that would be inconvenient. I'll tell you a bit of my story before you start putting your cold hands on me. As you know, I was the daughter of a powerful lord. I was trained as a warrior since my childhood. I was in the frontlines during war, leading my troops with my sword skills. It's what honor commands.

Impressive. Or completely foolish! What if you died on the battlefield?

Our belief is that nobility are above common people. So it's just natural that we show them the example and put our lives on the line. How would they respect us otherwise?

But one could argue that your life is too important to be wasted, compared to a simple farmer

Indeed. That's why we nobles have to become the best in everything, to protect these important lives that we carry.

Hmm... That's a lot of pressure.

Our mind is sharpened like a blade from the youngest age. That's just our way of living. Weak ones die, and it's for the best, it keeps the bloodline strong.

I see... Glad I wasn't born in your land, I wouldn't have lived long...

-

Tomoe's Past, Part III.

This event only occurs after the previous event, "Tomoe's Past, Part II".

So, last time you opened up a bit, but you didn't tell me everything, did you?

It wouldn't be fun otherwise.

By Loki and the Frost Giants! The almighty lady Tomoe making fun of me. It must be snowing in Hel.


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe

...

So... Were you married?

... Yes I was. He was a powerful lord, like my father. Our marriage unified the land and we enjoyed a moment of peace. I was able to take care of my children during that time. These memories are very dear to me.

(I should leave it at that, I sense that there’s tragedy incoming just after these joyful moments... I'll ask her another time.)


 * Lady Tomoe receives the positive trait Resolute for 5 days.

-

Tomoe's Past, Part IV.

This event only occurs after the previous event, "Tomoe's Past, Part III".

I didn't tell you the end of my story...

...? Yes... I didn't want to ask you. I thought that you'd tell me when you would be ready.

...


 * Lady Tomoe: +10 to opinion of Moira.

I'm ready. You have been a good friend Moira. Talking to you makes my heart warmer.

I'll add that to my already impressive list of things I'm good at!


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Lady Tomoe.

Yes, you can. So. .. After our marriage, the land enjoyed a few years of peace... But... It all came to an end in an instant. Without warning. A young man called Yoshitsune, I'll never forget that name, raised the flag of rebellion against my husband. They were determined, they were many... And they did not follow the code of honor. He snuck into the palace with a few men, and slaughtered my husband in his sleep. As well as all my children.


 * Lady Tomoe: + Depression

He claimed to be the true heir of my husband. He claimed to be his bastard son. I managed to fetch the katana of my husband and I fought like a demon to escape the castle. Honor would have it that I'd stay and kill this Yoshitsune. But I couldn't. The code was broken. My husband betrayed me. Everyone. I despised him, I despised Yoshitsune, I despised myself...


 * Lady Tomoe: + Depression

I kept the blade to remember to never let go of the pain, and fled like a peasant.

... I think I know the rest... Ship, storm, wreckage, cursed island... Bjorn. Us. That's indeed a sad story Tomoe. I'm sorry for your loss.

... I'm still alive, but I fear that my spirit died that night. I'm only postponing my appointment with death.


 * Lady Tomoe gains Depressed for 2 days at the end of this conversation.

Moira & Yaghoub
Only The Two Of Us

It seems there is only the two of us left in the camp, princess. Maybe I'll clean the house a bit. It's been a while.

...

What?

...

Moira approached Yaghoub and firmly took his crotch in her left hand.

Wanna fuck now, or wait until Björn cuts your cock off?

...! Is it an appropriate behavious for a princess?

... Call me what you want... But do me.

At your command, my queen!


 * Yaghoub: +20 to opinion of Moira

''Yaghoub lifted Moira as if she was a feather, and carried her to the bed in the shelter. He dropped her on the bed and took off his pants, ready to strike.''


 * Moira & Yaghoub both gain the positive trait Excited for 2 days and 4 days respectively.

Teeheehee....


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Yaghoub


 * Make it slow.




 * Make it rough.


 * Moira wanted it rough... She rode her man like a wild horse.


 * Yaghoub & Moira: + Fatigue.png Fatigue


 * She teased him, bit him, scratched him... Their lovemaking was quick and dirty. They even broke a chair, and Yaghoub hurt his leg.


 * Yaghoub: + Injury.png Injury
 * Yaghoub: gains Wound icon.png Fractured Leg for 3 days.


 * They were done before the other came back to camp. Yaghoub even had time to clean the shelter...


 * Yaghoub: - Depression.png Depression


 * Moira: - Depression.png Depression

Dreams

So princess... Will you grant me the honor of talking to you again?

Hmm... Yeah, yeah... You seem like a nice guy after all.

So tell me... About your dreams... What you REALLY want.

To marry Björn?

No, I'm serious...

&#42;sigh* I don't know... I never knew... At some point, I would like to share my life with a man... Or a woman. But at the same time, I cherish my freedom. I don't want all days to look the same, I want to be free to leave, and come back... I want someone who could look after me when I need it, make me laugh but would know when to stop...

You'd like to find someone like you, then.

I don't even know... I'm not very fond of myself, most of the time.

I know the feeling... As a traveller, always unsatisfied... Always a new project... I can't stay in one place... But I'd like to come back to a place I can call home.

We're not so different, after all... Two lost causes ahah!

Speak for yourself! One day, I aspire to become happy in my life... Find "the one"...

"The one"... Do you think there is only one person made for us, in the whole world?

I do. And you?

...


 * Nope.



Maybe.


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * You don't know until you find it, right?


 * Yaghoub Dialogue Tag.png
 * Right... And when you think you've found it... Do whatever it takes to keep it.


 * Yaghoub: +20 to opinion of Moira

Romantic Dinner

Where is everyone?

AH! I negotiated with them that they would leave us alone for a few hours. Come, princess! Enter your magnificent castle!

Wow...!

''Moira entered the shelter, and gasped at what Yaghoub had prepared for her... Candles illuminated the room. A fine meal was sitting on the table. Yellow and red flowers hung from the ceiling.''

You did... All that... For me?


 * Moira: +20 to opinion of Yaghoub

Yes princess. You deserve it. But take a seat, take a seat! I have a bottle of beer too, that I hid for a good opportunity.

Moira and Yaghoub ate, drank and talked, forgetting all their daily worries.


 * Moira & Yaghoub: - Depression.png Depression


 * Moira & Yaghoub: - Hunger.png Hunger

''After that, Moira jumped on the table and crawled towards Yaghoub, with fire in her eyes. They made love on the table, forks knives and plates falling from the tremor... After they were done, Moira cuddled Yaghoub, caressing his muscular body.''

When I think you did all this just to get in my pants again... Teeheehee...

When a merchant wants something... Hehe... But remember this time... I want your body AND your mind! No more days and days of giving me the cold shoulder, okay?

Okay, okay... *sigh* you're demanding, you know?

So tell me, princess... Wanna try to find out if we're made for each other? Or if at least we can walk a few miles together...

...


 * Let's try!


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * If you continue to treat me like this, I can't say no! But beware... If you don't keep me surprised, I may get bored!


 * Yaghoub Dialogue Tag.png
 * Err... That's quite a challenge you're giving me here! But... Challenge accepted!


 * Moira & Yaghoub both gain the positive trait In Love permanently.


 * No, I want to be free.
