Kari & Angelico
Brothers and Sisters.

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

Why do you call yourselves "brothers" and "sisters" by the way? Sounds stupid to me.

... Imagine you are poor, alone, with no family.

(I dream of it every night...)

Servants of God like me will come to you, and help you, in any way they can... As if we were real brothers and sisters. There are no boundaries to the love of God.

... You would even help your enemy, a murderer or a rapist?

... Only God can judge human souls. We must not judge them ourselves. In the end, the saved will ascend to Heaven and the lost will descend to the depths of hell.

- Hmmkay... So Björn can punch you in the face, you would still be nice to him...?
 * Too stupid... 

... The teachings of Jesus say that you should turn the other cheek

Whaaaaaat??? BVAHAHAHAHAHAH! SLAP ...! What did you...?

 * Angelico: -20 to opinion of Kari

-
 * Interesting... 

Heaven? Is it like... Asgard? Or Valhalla?

Hmm... Heaven is the most beautiful place, the city of God. After you pass away, if you followed God's teachings, your soul is saved and wanders freely for eternity alongside God and the angels. In eternal peace. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

...? What did you do just now?

Oh! That's the sign of the Cross. It's how we pray to God.

Wow... Okay... I thought you were cursing me or something...

Quite the contrary, lady Kari! Quite the contrary!


 * Angelico: +20 to opinion of Kari

Brother Peasant.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Brothers and Sisters".

Hey... Brother Peasant!

... Lady Kari... That‘s Brother Angelico. Or just Angelico, please.

Drop the "lady" then... I can't stand when you call me that! I could pluck your eyes out from rage.

Sorry La-... K-... Kari. I didn't want to annoy you... At all!

I could call you Brother Annoying, that would fit you.

... If it makes you smile, you can call me whatever you like, La-... Kari.

... S- Stop it! Being so nice... It's weird.

How so?

Just stop it. I don't like it.

... Okay ...

...

-
 * He's kind though... 

Don't you ever get angry?

... Hmmm... I don't think so, no... I can't remember a time...

How do you do it? Seriously? I feel like I'm angry all the time...

You just have to believe. Believe that we are all children of God, and that there is goodness inside each of us. I try to understand why people get angry, and help them overcome their pain in any way I can.

... But if, I don't know, you were eating a delicious meal, and then everything spills on the ground... It's infuriating, no??

Aha! I admit that your example is very good! All hardships, small or big, arejust God sending us trials to test our faith. The road to Heaven is not an easy one... But my belief is... The harder the woes are, the greater the rewards will be.


 * Kari: +20 to opinion of Angelico

 * Sheesh, grow a pair.

Angelico's Life.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Brother Peasant".

Urgh! My aunt Moira won't stop pestering me about you!


 * Kari gains the negative trait Angry for 3 days.

"What do you think about Angelico?" "Angelico this, Angelico that"... Hmrpff! We haven't even really talked... I don't know anything about you, your family, your life...

...I was born in a farmers' family... We were very poor. My parents were very devout. Even if my father, well... Let's say he used the Holy Bible to beat us as well as teach us...

...How did they die?

I don't remember. I was too young, maybe. My brothers and sisters died too. Never knew how... They hid it from me. I was not lucky enough to have a beautiful, loving family like yours.

... Hmrpff.

Words of Love.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Angelico's Life".

???

Words of love... Lady Moira said I should say words of love to you... That's why...

-
 * That's cute! 

What the... If she says that you should jump off a cliff, you'll do it?!

No... But... She seems to be knowledgeable in... this particular field... of... well...

Pffrt! Don't listen to that skank...


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Moira

If you listen to her, you'll soon bring me a bunch of roses...

Flowers? Hmm...

Don't. Even. Think. About. It.

-
 * That's lame!

???

Brother Love

This event only occurs after the previous event "Words of Love".

Hey! Brother Love! Help me fetch some water by the river, will you?

Y-... Yes lady Kari!

 Angelico and Kari went together to a nearby river to fill some buckets. 

Aha look! A big toad! Woops!!!

 Kari slipped on a mossy rock, but Angelico instinctively saved her from falling into water. 


 * Kari: +20 to opinion of Angelico

 Kari was there, in his arms, looking confused. The toad made a big RIBBIT. 

Aha. Ahahahahahah!

...!

 The two of them started to laugh together, Kari still in Angelico's arms. 


 * Angelico and Kari: - Depression

 When they finally stopped, Angelico could not stop staring at Kari 's bright smile. Every time Angelico saw Kari smiling, he felt something warm inside his stomach. 


 * Angelico: +20 to opinion of Kari

Aha... You can let me go now.

 Then, as if guided by his Lord's command, Angelico dropped a delicate kiss on Kari's lips! 


 * Angelico gains the positive trait First Kiss for 4 days.

...!

Oh! S-... Sorry lady Kari! I don't know what got into me!

 Surprised by what he boldly did, Angelico dropped Kari into the river! 

Aaie!!!

Oh no! Sorry lady Kari! What have I done! Let me help you!

...  ...

-
 * Accept his Help.

 Angelico extended his arm to help a soaking wet Kari to stand up... But his hands inadvertently grasped her breasts... </i>

Oh no! What!? I'm sorry! I didn't want to...

RRRRRRRRRHHHHH!!!! LEAVE ME NOW, PERVERT!


 * Kari gains the negative trait Angry for 2 days.

 Kari rushed to the camp, without a word, followed by an embarrassed Angelico... </i>


 * Angelico gains the negative trait Depressed for 3 days.

-
 * Leave me alone!

???

Forest Waterfall

This event only occurs after the previous event "Brother Love".

(Hrmpf... That dumb, handsome idiot... Since last time, he doesn't dare speak to me... I may have been too harsh... After all he's been through.) ... Come with me.

...?

 Kari walked toward the forest, with a confident step, a puzzled Angelico on her tail. They walked like this, in silence, until they reached the edge of the forest. Then, Angelico felt something cold but so soft in his left hand... It was Kari's hand! He felt his face turning red, and his back sweating like crazy! His mind was blank, he couldn't think straight anymore... Kari led him until they reached a waterfall, where they sat next to each other, in a dreamlike state. </i>

...

... You can kiss me now, you know?

...!

 Angelico felt dumb for a moment... He couldn't process it all... He looked at Kari, who was looking at the waterfall. She seemed... Not angry. He slowly, carefully approached his head... He felt that at any time she would slap him in the face... But... She didn't... When she started to feel his breathing on her neck, she faced him. Their lips softly, clumsily joined together. Angelico was in heaven... He never felt like this before. </i>


 * Angelico: - Depression.png Depression

 After a while staying lips against lips, without moving, Kari moved her head back. </i>

...

-
 *  It can work. 

You really don't know what to do with a girl, do you?

Erm...

I'll show you...

 Kari kissed Angelico, but this time with more passion... They stayed a while there, kissing and looking at each other, with smiles on their faces. </i>


 * Kari: - Depression.png Depression

 Kari laid her head on Angelico's legs. He gently caressed her hair, while looking at the waterfall. </i>


 * Angelico gains the positive trait In Love permanently.
 * Kari gains the positive trait In Love permanently.

-
 *  It will never work...

Kari & Blodeuwedd
A Hole in the Forest.

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

(Okay... I found something REALLY interesting in the forest. A big hole in the ground. Large enough so that I can crawl in it. I MUST go explore this hole. It's so fishy, I'm SURE there's something inside. If I manage to bring back something valuable, maybe mom would let me go out of the camp more often? Mom... Urgh... I must find a way to sneak out of her glare.)  ... Can I help you with something mom?

...? Hmm, yes, thanks child. You can clean the tools with this cloth.


 * Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Kari

Okay! I'll be right back! (Now's my chance! She'll think I'm around doing her chores... I'll run to my hole and search it. I'll get yelled at when she sees that I didn't clean those things, but if I come back with the dwarfs' treasure...)

(Kari snuck out of the camp and ran deep into the forest. As the sun was already setting, the tree's shadows were growing bigger and scarier.)

(Okayyyy... Maybe not the best idea I ever had... Be brave Kari, daughter of Eirik! I can’t chicken out now, I've gone too far. Let's crawl into this big hole!)   ... (I don't see a thing but... I can feel... There’s something here. What's this... Thing? It's hard. Where does it lead...? OMYGODS IT MOVED EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

(Kari ran away as fast as she could, her heart bumping out of her chest.)


 * Kari receives Scared for 3 days.

(She fell a few times along the way.)


 * Kari receives Sprained Foot for 3 days.

(When she arrived home, covered in mud and tears, Blodeuwedd scolded her and sent her to bed.)

(She calmed herself after a while. It's only then that she noticed she was carrying a strange stone in her hands.)


 * You receive +1 Fire Crystal

Two Rabbits.

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

Look what I have! Two juicy little rabbits!


 * You receive Raw Meat

How did you get them?

Oh that’s easy! I spotted their hole a few days ago. Everyday I crawled in the bushes and waited for them to come out. It only took me four arrows to shoot the two of them. Not bad huh?


 * Kari: - Depression
 * You lose some Arrows

That’s nice sweetie... But until we manage to craft new arrows, you shouldn’t waste yours like this. We may be attacked by deadlier foes than two little rabbits... You’ll be happy to have one or two arrows to shoot them.

-
 *  She's right 

Yeah mum, I understand. It’s just that... I feel useless.


 * Kari: + Depression

Of course you are not useless. Come with me, we’ll cook these two delicious rabbits for tonight! And there’s plenty of cleaning to do.


 * Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Oh crap... She trapped me... Urgh)


 * You lose some Raw Meat and get some Cooked Meal

-
 *  If we starve we die 

Okey, I guess our only choise is to starve to death then... Perfect plan, mum.


 * Kari: -5 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Don't be so insolent. One day, you'll really piss someone off. Someone who can kick your sorry ass real hard.


 * Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Kari

-
 *  It's unfair! 

You're SO unfair! Moira says things way worse and nobody cares!


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

She's not your mum, I AM. So quiet now, and go clean the house.


 * Blodeuwedd: -5 to opinion of Kari
 * Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Moira

-
 *  Calm down 

... Okey... ''She thinks she's ALWAYS right, but one day... One day, she'll see...''


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Good. Now help me with these rabbits.


 * You lose some Raw Meat and get some Cooked Meal

How Eirik and Blodeuwedd Met.

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

(Okay... I'll try to show some interest in her life. .. The less I talk to her, the more she is annoying.) So mom... Hmm...

Yes child?

Hmm... How did dad and you meet, again?

...! That's a strange time to ask this question... Are you feeling well?

No, yes, it's just that I was thinking about that lately. But nevermind...

... Your dad was working for my... Father. He was one of his huscarl. Your grandfather wanted that I marry the son of another somewhat important family. But I was young and foolish, and at that time I... Didn't like to be pressured to do something I didn't decided. So I chose a man that was the perfect opposite of the one my dad chose for me... Poor, humble, with no political power or ambition... But with a huge heart. I went to the tavern where the huscarl were drinking, and I made my choice.

Ah! You were quite the wild girl... I think I prefer the you from the past.


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

How did you choose dad in particular?

He was the only one who didn't try to seduce me...


 * Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Eirik


 * Sigh* I was a real mess aha.

Kari & Eirik
Kari's First Shot.

This event does not have a trigger and will occur randomly

At least I'm glad to have taught you how to hunt, back home.

... I miss our hunting trips. So bad. There was only you, me, the bow, and the target. Nothing else existed anymore. As if time had stopped and the gods were watching us.

They must have laughed at your first shot... Remember?

Urgh dad! That's not funny! The wind was strong...

Strong enough to blow your arrow behind you? Giants must have been at work.

Blame the teacher! You didn't tell me anything.

Aha... I didn't want to take the risk that you could surpass me on your first shot. If I want to keep your respect for a little while longer, I must let you have a hard time before giving you all the hints.

You'll have my respect forever dad! You're the best hunter I know!


 * Eirik: +10 to opinon of Kari

Ahaha... You're a sweet girl... You'll soon realize that's not true.

...But until then, you're the best for me dad.


 * Kari: +10 to opinon of Eirik
 * Eirik: - Depression
 * Eirik gains the positive trait Daughter's Love for 3 days.

Guilt.

This event does not have a trigger and will occur randomly

Kari? Come now my girl. We'll go hunting together.

Yaaaay!!!


 * Kari: - Depression
 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Eirik

But... Why so serious, dad? Is there a problem?

... I just want to have some time with my little daughter.

...I'm not so little anymore you know... Moira says I'm almost a woman now.

I know, I know... Let's pretend for tonight that you're still my child, and that I still have some moves with the bow to teach you.

But I- ... Of course dad.


 * Eirik: +10 to opinion of Kari

The first who catches a rabbit wins! You're already losiiiiiiiing!

(My little girl... So full of life.)


 * Eirik: +10 to opinion of Kari

(What have I done...? Gods, you can take anyone, but spare her. I beg you.)


 * Eirik gains the negative trait Guilt for 2 days.
 * Kari: + Hunting
 * You gain Raw Meat

Raiding Stories.

This event does not have a trigger and will occur randomly

I learned that you raided when you were young? Tell me about it, pleeeeeaaaaaaase dad!

... It was a job. Nothing more, nothing less.

(Moodkiller...) Yeaaaah, but... It was exciting, no? Less boring than plowing fields.

Exciting, yes. And scary, hard, violent, depressing, unfulfilling, shameful. After so much violence, you see life differently. You'll see...

Dad, don't spoil me the end of the saga! Maybe I'll like it more than you.

Aha. You'll make your own path to Valhalla, my daughter. I guess... In all the evil that men do, there is goodness. I wouldn't have met your mother without Norsemen raiding our poor neighbours.

Wot?? What do you mean?

Your mother and Moira don't like to talk about it, but their village was raided when they were small children. Northmen came to the Welsh coast, and burned everything. They were taken as captives, since they were the children of the local jarl.

Wow... I didn't know that!

Yes... Back at our homeland, they were raised like perfect Norsewomen. Only their blazing hair would tell their Welsh heritage.

Kari & Moira
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...

Kari & Cissé
Your Story

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

Your name is Kari, right? Do I pronounce it properly?

No. The right way to pronounce it is to never say it.

Oh? How is this so? That's an interesting custom, but why would you have a name you'd never use?

I don't want YOU to use it. I don't want to hear it in one of your weird-ass songs.

But you're Eirik and Blodeuwedd's daughter, an important figure of the village! How am I supposed to tell your family's story if I can't use your name?


 * Just don't.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * I don't want to be part of any story, old man. Especially when the current story is "unlucky girl gets bored to death on a deadly island"!


 * Kari: + Depression.png Depression


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * Don't you have anything better to do than telling stories anyway? Slicing Björn's throat in his sleep would make a great story, why don't you try this instead?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * It reminds me of an old saying in our land that... when your luck deserts you, even cold food burns. I know you're upset. I would have been too, when I was your age. But your family is whole, and you have a shelter and a purpose. It could always be worse, so smile!


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * By Thor and Loki, you're so LAME! Never heard so much stupidity in so few words.


 * Kari: -20 to opinion of Cissé


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * You'll die quick, Cissé. Sorry for you. Almost.


 * Which story?


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

Which story do you want to tell? Happy family gets nearly killed by nasty men, gets lost at sea, repeat?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

That sounds like a good start, but I'd add a little more fun. We all need a bit of fun, right? And I'm more interested by what will happen after. I think we're all here for a reason. We met on purpose. Future generation will need to hear this tale, I'm sure it will be epic!


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

You're about as crazy as my aunt Moira, old man. So I guess you're okay. Take that as a compliment.

A Little Tale

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

Kari! A little tale has come to my mind lately, I think you'd like it, do you want to hear it?


 *  No. Way. 

At the moment, I'd rather be savagely molested by Bjorn's men... I'm pretty sure it would be quicker and less painful than listening to one of your stories. And it would kill me all the same. I don't know what makes you think I'd like to hear your crap. Is it because I'm not sleeping yet? Do you think I need lullabies? I'm not a child Cisse, in case you didn't notice. So please go swing that instrument of yours in someone else's face before I shove it up your ass!


 * Cisse: -10 to opinion of Kari
 * Kari: -20 to opinion of Cisse


 *  Not now. Counting sheep will do... 

I'm trying to sleep. Which means I need silence, not music.

Silence, yes, yes... Silence is the music of the soul. Only then, when you're alone and everything's quiet, you can hear spirits singing.

Not sure I want to... I only hear an old man's ramblings...

This could be one of your ancestors talking. Listen carefully. They may teach you something. You may learn the language of the night, the secret tongue of the ones before you. You may learn long lost words of wisdom, whispered by unsung heroes. You may... Kari? Are you sleeping, child?


 * Kari: - Fatigue.png Fatigue

The Tortoise and the Porridge

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

So, Kari, how is it going?

I'm in a foul mood and you're definitely not improving it, old man.

Like they say, if someone tries to swallow a whole coconut, he trusts his anus entirely!

Woooooot? By Thor... So gross! How can you know so much stupid stuff, old man?

That's part of my job. I can tell you the story of how the tortoise's dick fell off. It happened long before the tortoise broke his back because of the dog's mother, but that is another story. The dog and his mother were cooking a feast of delicious hot porridge, and the tortoise followed the smell. He wanted all of the porridge for himself, so he told the dogs that the king wanted to see them immediately. The dogs left in a hurry, and the tortoise began to eat as fast as he could, for the dog would be back soon. Soon, he heard the dog family approaching, but there was still a lot of oatmeal left in the pot. So the tortoise filled his pants with hot oatmeal to carry it quickly without anyone noticing. But when the dogs arrived, they asked the tortoise to stay for lunch, and convinced him to stay. Eventually, the porridge was so hot that the tortoise just had to pull off his pants. Everybody was shocked when he pulled of his pants to reveal steaming hot porridge. The porridge had burned his groin so badly that his dick fell off and in fact, never grew back again.

Kari & Eustache
Quite Athletic.

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

Hi, I'm Eustache. And you are?

Kari

Wild girl, I like it. You prefer to act than to talk, isn't it?

It depends with who.

I've seen how you jump and crawl in the forest. You are quite athletic my dear, it's very impressive.

(That creep is stalking me or what?)


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Eustache

I'm young, so maybe it's easier for me?

(The little brat) Aha I'm not that old... I'm sure I could show you a trick or two.


 * Eustache: -10 to opinion of Kari

(I know what trick you want to show me, and I DON'T want to see it). Yeah, yeah. Maybe. Bye


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Eustache

Hey, Wild Girl.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Quite Athletic".

Hey, wild girl. Here, take this... You can have my share of food tonight. You look starving.

Meh. I didn't ask for anything.

Can't help it, that's our God's teachings. We should break bread together, and all that stuff...

...Drop the act, everyone knows that you are certainly not a true monk. You look nothing like a monk.

Aha... And what makes you think that?

Look at yourself... Nothing you told us adds up. I know that you are hiding something, and honestly, I don't give a shit. Just don't annoy me.


 * Kari & Eustache: -10 to opinion of each other.

We Call Them Raiders

This event only occurs after "(the event where he reveals he is a pirate)".

So you're a pirate, heh?

I was.

And what do you do when you're a pirate?

Oh... You smuggle, you steal, you sink, you fight, you ransom... And people fear you.


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Eustache.

Sounds like fun. We call them raiders. Dad raided a bit when he was young. How many men did you kill?

Ah! Too many, young girl... Too many. But I swear to you, on my ship, that I never, NEVER killed a woman.

Pfff, man, woman, who cares? If she attacks you axe in hand, you'd let her kill you?


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Eustache.

I'll admit, it's my weakness... That's why we men don't want women to fight. They would crush us.

Pitiful. .. Just when you were starting to be a bit less dull. You'rejust all talk.

(If she continues to get on my nerves, it will be harder and harder to avoid slicing her goddamn throat...)


 * Eustache: -10 to opinion of Kari.

(But no, I must restrain myself. . . If! want to have the magnificent Blodeuwedd, I must not harm her precious brat)

Kari & Gudrun
How Have You Survived?

I just keep wondering, how the Hel did you survive on your own in this forest, granny?

...

...

...

Hey! You hear me??

...

By the gods grandma Troll is deaf as a stone!

AH!

AAAh! You scared me, granny!

I wonder how YOU managed to survive this long. Little piece of meat on legs, always making ugly noises with her mouth.

Hey! YOU're ugly!

By Odin... And no brain... Poor little thing... The gods didn't favor you very much, hmm?

Heeeeyyy!

Whaddaya do? You try to lure some bird? HEY! HEY! HEY! Kekekekekeke! Look! One's coming right behind you! Duck! Duck!

Wh-...?! B- but! Where?

Eeeheheeheheeee... At least you're funny. You'll make an above average buffoon for our village.


 * Gudrun: +10 to opinion of Kari

... *sniff*...


 * Kari: + Depression.png Depression

Almost Dead

Hey! You!

...?

What's your name again? Kira? Kora? Yes. Stupid name.

...

Fetch me some water.

I'm not your personal slave, old troll.


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Gudrun

Thanks the gods! You are useless and rude. And you're almost dead, too.

Fu-... Wait what?!

Looked yourself in a mirror lately? You're pale as my husband. And he died long ago.

Stop messing with me! I-... I'm fine!

You sure?

I just have a small pain in my stomach now and then, but it's nothing...

AH! I knew it...

What? Am I cursed? Will I *sob* really die like a dog?

Not if I make you the cure.


 * She's messing with me




 * Make it!


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * Then make it! PLEASE!


 * Kari gains the negative trait Depressed for 4 days.


 * Gudrun Dialogue Tag.png
 * Of course, of course... I'll just need some leaves from this tree, there, one of your hair... And some water.

Kari & Yaghoub
Pleased to meet you

Hi child, I'm Yaghoub ibn al-Sabbah, the most famous merchant of all the Persian Empire, pleased to meet you.

(Oh gods, another fool...) Hi. What is this Persian Empire thing?

My, my... You've never heard about the riches from the East? Jewelry covered in gems, silken clothes, gigantic tapestries...

Hmmm nope.

If only I still had my ship... I'd kidnap you at once to show you the marvels of the world!

Creepy. You've seen a lot of crazy stuff, no?

Yes, yes... More than a human should see in a lifetime.

Tell me!

Aha, I'd change my trade to bedtime stories merchant, then! But I'd be a terrible merchant if I didn't ask you something in return. So, what will you give me?

... What if I don't like your stories? If they are fake, it's cheating!

Refunds are beyond question, I'm afraid... You'll learn that there's a part of uncertainty in any deal, child.

Okay... So, I'll give you my undivided attention, and the benefit of the doubt. Believe me, that's a high price to pay.

Aha, you're a though girl to do business with! You don't want to be my apprentice, do you?


 * Yaghoub: +10 to opinion of Kari

Never. I can be your bodyguard, if the pay is good. Or even better, a treasure hunter!

Naked Men

(...I'm so bored I could punch a tree...)

&#42;sigh* Hey Yaghoub... You promised stories, remember? Now's the time...

Hmm... Did I tell you the story of when I nearly got eaten by naked men? I was on my way to a fairly promising trade, when my ship wrecked on an unknown island.

It's a habit of yours...

Aha, yes. We were welcomed by strange, naked men. Very friendly. They invited us to their village, where they fed us with some weird herbs. But it was a trap! The herbs drove us completely insane... The naked men fed us aplenty so that we became fat... To eat us! I realized what was happening and stopped eating the herb. They soon got fed up with me and released me!

...

That's why mom always tell me to be wary of naked men?

Ahahaha! No doubts!

Another tale

Hey! Another tale? Last one was not bad...

AHAH! You are getting addicted to my famous storytelling skills, right?


 * Yaghoub: +10 to opinion of Kari

Don't get carried away...

Let me carry you to a deserted land, far away... My crew spotted a gigantic, majestic egg in the distance... Twice the size of a man! But that bunch of nosy men broke the shell, and ate the giant chick! "Fools!" I yelled... "Come back to the ship!" But it was too late... Two gigantic birds flew to my ship and sank it by throwing boulders they carried in their claws...

... Gigantic. Birds. Hmmhmm...

It's true! But wait, that's not the most incredible part... After that, someone jumps on my shoulders, twisting his legs around my neck! I was enslaved by an old spirit of the Sea, which I disturbed! He rode on my back for days and nights, until I would I thought I would die...

...


 * What happened next?


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

How did you escape?


 * Yaghoub Dialogue Tag.png

I gave him some wine... It's a trick that can be useful in many situations, believe me! He got drunk, fell, and I skewered him with my sword. After that I landed in a city full of man-eating apes... But that's another story...

 * Bullshit...



Kari & Parvaneh
Girl Talk

Kariiiii! Care for a little girl talk? Heeheehee


 * sigh* Oh no...

I know for you it must be hard... You can only talk to older women like your mom and aunt... I thought you would be glad to chat a bit with someone your age! Heehee

My age? You're kidding me, you're older...

No, of course not.

... I'm pretty sure you are... At least five... six...

I SAID NO!


 * Parvaneh receives the negative trait Angry for 2 days.


 * Parvaneh: -20 to opinion of Kari

Sooooo... Let's talk a bit about boys... You had a boyfriend back home? A fiancee? A husband maybe?

Urgh... No. *sigh* You can't talk about anything else but boys? Seriously...


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Parvaneh

Oh! Sorry, my mistake! I should have known, looking at you... Of course, everything makes sense now! Heehee!

What now?

Don't worry Kari, I'm sure you'll find the perfect woman to share your life. Heehee

WHAT?! That's not what... Urgh... You're hopeless... I give up.


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Parvaneh


 * Kari: + Depression.png Depression

Did You Hear Them?

You heard them again last night, haven't you?

Who?

Your mom and dad! Oh my, poor little thing... I pity you.

Hmrgnn... What the fuck are you talking about?

They argued again! Did they use to fight as much, back when you were home?

N-... No. Not really.


 * sigh* I heard some harsh words... They talked about a separation...

You're lying.

... Poor little thing... I'm sure that whatever happens, they'll still love you, you know?


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Eirik & Blodeuwedd

YOU'RE LYING! SHUT UP!


 * Kari: -20 to opinion of Parvaneh


 * Kari gains the negative trait Worried for 6 days.


 * Parvaneh gains the negative trait Gossip Girl I permanently.

Kari & Shanaw
Let's Play a Game.

This event does not have a specific trigger, and will occur randomly once Shanaw has been recruited.

Wolf Pup Kari... Tell Shanaw about tribe.

My tribe? My family, you mean? Well, there's Mom, Dad and my aunt, Moira... They can all be a pain in the ass, but each one in a different way.

They don't want play with Kari?

Play? Definitely not! Moira can be funny, sometimes... But my parents. They're so booooring...

Let's play game!

... Hmmmmyeaaah. .. Maybe. What are the rules?

Easy! Shanaw and Kari run and go as far, as fast as possible. First one who runs out of breath loses!

---
 *  Sounds fun, let's play!

This is really a silly idea... But I need some silliness at the moment!


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

We'll need to wait a bit until everyone is sleeping... I don’t think my parents would approve.

Great! Shanaw can’t wait!


 * Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Shanaw and Kari snuck out into the night, and ran under the stars like if there was no tomorrow. Hearts beating, wind blowing, feet thumping. It was foolish, dangerous, and liberating. Running, jumping, falling and laughing, they came back bruised, exhausted, and happy.)


 * Kari & Shanaw: - Depression
 * Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
 * Kari gains Sprained Foot for 3 days.
 * Shanaw: + Injury.

---
 *  I'm not too sure about this... 

???

A Moonlight Swim.

Ready for game, Fox Kari?

What now...?

Night is clear. Perfect for swimming under moonlight! First who turns back loses. Winner ask loser anything. Can't refuse. When everyone asleep, Kari and Shanaw run to the beach. What do you say, Howling She-wolf?

---
 *  Absolutely not! 

---
 *  Sounds like a plan.

You're batshit crazy, Shanaw. That's what I like about you...


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

Let's do this. Crazy is better than boring!

Kari will love game. Better than fun... Makes Kari feel alive!


 * Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Once everyone fell asleep, they ran to the sea and spread their clothes on the rocky beach. Two young pale shapes went across the chilling blackness, like swift daggers into the night. They swam wildly under the cruel moon, until they felt there would be no turning back. Neither wanted to lose. But both wanted to live, so they called it a draw. And hardly made it back. They laid down side by side on the wet pebbles, breathless, shivering and smiling, until dawn found them.


 * Kari & Shanaw: - Depression
 * Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
 * Kari: + Constitution
 * Kari & Shanaw gain Sneezing for 3 days.

A Risky Game.

This event occurs if the player chooses "Sounds like a plan." during "A Moonlight Swim"

Pssst, Kari, Shanaw have idea for REALLY great game...

Yeah? Something that will get us both killed?

No! But there is risk. No fun without risk, yes?

Where would the fun be ifwe weren't stranded on a deadly island and bullied by violent thugs?

Listen now! Shanaw know where Bjorn's man patrols every night. Alone. Always follows same path along seashore. Then sits on rock and watches sea. Every time, so drunk man falls asleep for long time. Shanaw and Kari steal man pants while man snores. What Kari say?

---
 *  No, this is TOO risky.

---
 *  I'm in. 

I'd be happy to fight back, we've cowered in fear for too long...


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

But we can't be seen! If he links us back to the camp, we'll run into really big trouble. So if we're not totally sure he's sleeping, we give up.

Bah! Hit him on head. Hard.

No! This is risky enough. We do it my way or we don't.

Fine, fine... Still better than not playing game...

(And so they crawled in the dark, stealthy as young wolves. The man was already there, sitting in front of the ocean, his head down, a heavy bag next to him. Shanaw approached silently and then reached for his bag. But not silently enough. As the man suddenly awoke, he grabbed Shanaw’s hand and drew his blade. Before he could act, Kari kicked him in the stomach with all her strength. He fell down the cliff with a muffled groan, breathless, his eyes wide with surprise. He bounced a couple of times on sharp rocks before the sea's blackness swallowed him. Shanaw and Kari gazed at each other, without a word. The bag contained a few useful supplies.)


 * You gain Wool, Fish Bait, Trap and Dried Meat

(Nothing would ever be the same)


 * Kari gains Guilty Feeling for 4 days.

Blood Bond.

This event occurs if the player chooses "I'm in" during "A Risky Game". Unlike most events, this one occurs the afternoon immediately preceding the "A Risky Game" event the night before.

...

...

So what?! Kari and Shanaw killed bad man. Kari and Shanaw should be happy!

Dummy, it's not that easy! If Bjorn learns that we killed one of his men... Not only he will come for us, but maybe he will kill EVERYONE in the camp. Because of us...

... Shanaw will protect Kari from Evil Bjorn.

That's not the problem... Urgh, you don't understand... If my mom learns about it... I would rather face Bjorn...

Tribe Mother doesn't have to know! It's Kari and Shanaw secret now. Don't tell anyone. Trust?

...

---
 *  I trust you.

I trust you Shanaw. We share a special bond now.


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

Secret, yes. Bond. Blood bond.


 * Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

(As she says these words, Shanaw swiftly cuts her fingertip with a knife. She licks a bit of the blood flowing, then points her finger at Kari.)

Blood bond.

(Kari gazes into the eyes of Shanaw, to see her soul. She slowly advances her mouth towards Shanaw's bloodied finger. She gently puts it in her mouth, and instinctively rolls her tongue on the wounded area. The taste is strong and salty, but attenuated by the warmth she felt in her upper torso.)


 * Kari gains Blood bond permanently.
 * Shanaw gains Blood bond permanently.

---
 *  You're just trouble. 

???

Wanna Go Hunting Together?

This event occurs if the player chooses "I trust you" during "Blood bond".

Hey Shanaw! Wanna go hunting together?

YEAH! Let's go Wolf Puppy! First to shoot rabbit with arrow wins!

Ahaha wait for meeee!

(Kari and Shanaw went hunting together for a few hours. All their running and jumping and uncontrollable laughter made the hunt... Not very bountiful. But at least they had a lot of fun. )


 * Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
 * You gain Raw Meat

Ahaha Kari and Shanaw very bad hunters...

We'll call it a draw... We're equally mediocre aha!

... Shanaw likes to pass time with Kari Friend. No, more than friends! Kari is like sister Shanaw never had. Teehee!


 * Shanaw: +20 to opinion of Kari

...

---
 *  Likewise.

It's true that at least, when I'm with you I'm never bored... That's a BIG change in my life! Hehe. I'm glad mom and dad accepted you in the camp, Shanaw. It wouldn't be the same without you...


 * Kari: +20 to opinion of Shanaw

... LAST ONE AT THE CAMP IS LOSER!


 * Shanaw gains Cheerful for 5 days.

HEY! You cheat!!! Wait for me!

---
 *  Joke 

???

Gloomy Cave.

This event occurs if the player chooses "Likewise" during "Wanna Go Hunting Together".

Hey, Shanaw! I've found a hyper cool gloomy cave not far from camp...We go together?

Cave...? Gloomy...? Of course Kari and Shanaw go!!!

(Karl and Shanaw snuck out of the camp and reached a dark cave, only lit by moonlight.)

SO COOL!

You think a bear could have lived here?

Shanaw will seek footprints!

(The two of them continued to talk and laugh for a while. Then they got warm by a campfire they lit in the cave.)


 * Shanaw & Kari: +10 to opinion of each other.

You never told me about that scar on your body...

... Tshituashk stabbed Shanaw with knife. On wedding night.

Wow... Your kin have really strange traditions...

... Not tradition. Tradition is man go to bed with bride. But Shanaw didn't want to. Tshituashk gets angry. Shanaw gets angry. Stab. Dodge. Kill.

...! I didn't know...

Running away. Far. Hidden like raven in the night.

...

Don't make sad face, baby cat! Shanaw alive, and Kari is friend! Look what Shanaw took from camp...

Beer? But... You're crazy?!

Wanna try?

...

---
 *  You're crazy! Yes!

Hel yeah! Bring on the booze!


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

(Shanaw and Kari share a full bottle of beer, taking turns at drinking straight from the bottle.)


 * Kari: - Hunger
 * Kari & Shanaw gain the negative trait Drunk for 1 day.

(After opening her heart to Kari, Shanaw feels lighter. All her tensions have faded away.)


 * Shanaw: - Depression

(They make silly jokes... they laugh... they roll on the floor... Their vision becomes blurry.)


 * Kari: - Depression

(As Shanaw clumsily takes the bottle, her hands touch Kari's. She lingers, lost in a haze. They are getting closer and closer, their legs are now curled up together. Touching each other feels good. They feel alone, happy and connected. Naturally, gently, as Shanaw was reaching for the bottle Kari was hiding behind her back, their lips met... They froze, lips against lips, wondering what was going on. Time stood still. Shanaw instinctively pressed a kiss on Kari's lips, softly. Their lips slowly moved apart, and they opened their eyes, looking deeply at each other.)


 * Shanaw: +20 to opinion of Kari

(It only lasted a split second, and then Shanaw jumped on her feet before Kari had a chance to say anything.)

FIRST ONE AT CAMP WINS! Kari will never catch Shanaw hehehe!!!


 * Shanaw gains the positive trait Excited for 3 days.

Stolen Pants.

This event occurs if the player chooses "You're crazy! Yes!" during "Gloomy Cave".

Who stole my pants?! I said. WHO. STOLE. MY. FUCKING. PANTS?!?


 * Kari gains Angry for 3 days.

Hehehehehe. Boohoo, Bear Cub Kari lost her pants? Hehe.

Again?! It's not fun anymore, Shanaw!


 * Kari: -5 to opinion of Shanaw

Give them back to me! You're such a child sometimes, urgh! GROW UP!

Kari mad?

Fuck you.

(Kari ferociously turns her heels back to camp after running after Shanaw... But... Shanaw throws at her back a disgusting ball of dirt... Right into her hair...)

AHAHAHA! Shanaw is best thrower! Right on target!

URGH! BUT YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON OR WHAT?!


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Shanaw

You PISS ME OFF!

(Kari sits down in the dirt and starts crying...)

...

(Shanaw feels dumb... She slowly approaches the poor Kari.)

S-... Sorry Kari Friend... Shanaw sorry... Didn't mean harm...

(A tear falls from Shanaw's eyes.)


 * Shanaw: + Depression.

...

---
 *  Make a scene.

???

---
 *  That's ok... 

Sorry to have yelled... I'm just... So tired.

Kari not mad at Shanaw? *sniff*

No silly... I like you the way you are, you know it.


 * Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Suddenly, Kari tackles Shanaw and pins her to the ground, in the dirt!)

You fell for my trap, dummy! Now I win!

(The two of them wrestle on the ground. Kari has the upper hand and firmly grips the hands of Shanaw. Shanaw manages to make them roll, putting Kari beside her. She is pinning her down on the ground, against her chest. Kari manages to insert her leg between Shanaw's legs, and make her roll on the side. Kari 's pants gets ripped during the fight, but she laughs at it, still wrestling her friend.)


 * Kari: - Depression

(They continue for a while, laughing, covered in mud. They don't hesitate to take a firm grip at each other. But sometimes, the touch is softer, like two dancers holding each oth er’s waist. They got back to the camp covered in mud and exhausted, but even closer than before.)


 * Shanaw: +20 to opinion of Kari
 * Kari:+20 to opinion of Shanaw
 * Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
 * Kari & Shanaw gain Stinky for 4 days.

Fake Fight.

This event occurs if the player chooses "That's ok..." during "Stolen Pants". Unlike most events, this one occurs the afternoon immediately preceding the "Stolen Pants" event the night before.

OH MY GODS!!! THIS TIME I'LL KILL YOU!

(Kari runs after a giggling Shanaw, yelling insults, in direction of the forest.)

My, my... These two don't seem to get along after all... I hope they will be okay.

(Kari lost track of Shanaw near a beautiful river, the surface shining in the sun. Suddenly, Shanaw jumps from behind a large tree and pushes Kari in the water! But Kari knew Shanaw was up to something, and took a grip on her hand... The two of them are now sitting in water, laughing.)

Ahahahaha... You should have seen the look on my mother's face! It was a good idea to pretend having a fight... Easy way out of this boring camp!

YES! Wolf Pup Kari is genius!

We're quite fine here, don't you think? Water is nice and warm... It's sunny... Quiet... We could almost forget our life is threatened by a bloodthirsty giant man and his grunts.


 * Kari: - Depression

Shanaw forgets everything when Kari is with Shanaw!

(Shanaw's comment drew Kari's attention. She looked at her. Their eyes met. Shanaw's face had never been so beautiful. Or had she never noticed before?)

---
 *  Kiss her.

(Kari felt a warmth in her stomach, which urged her to kiss her friend. Her heart was thumping like crazy, but as soon as their lips met, and Shanaw kissed her back, only warmth was left. Shy at first, their embrace became passionate as Shanaw took control. She caught her breath, looked at Kari with fire in her eyes, and kissed her again. This time, Shanaw held Kari's neck while giving her a wild kiss, massaging her hair. Kari was lost in a turmoil of new feelings rising in her body. They stopped kissing, lovingly looking at each other for a while.)


 * Shanaw & Kari: +30 to opinion of each other.

... Shanaw... We'll have to keep this a secret... Promise?

... Why?

Mom... the others... they wouldn't understand... We have to take it slow... Okay?

Shanaw will do anything for Kari!

(And they kissed again, laying on the shore of the river, the stream of water gently caressing their almost naked bodies.)


 * Shanaw: - Depression
 * Kari & Shanaw gain the positive trait In Love permanently.

---
 *  You're my best friend. 

You're my best friend for life, Shanaw. There, I said it. Happy now?


 * Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

Friends... yes...


 * Shanaw: + Depression

(An awkward silence replaced their laughter... They relaxed for a while, and went back to camp. Shanaw was quieter than usual.)


 * Kari & Shanaw: - Fatigue
 * Shanaw gains the negative trait Friend Zoned permanently.

Kari & Lady Tomoe
Onna-Bugeisha Training Begins.

Hey lady, that's a cool tatoo that you have.

Thanks child. That's the mark of my clan. We are known as the Onna-Bugeisha. A female warriors clan.

Wow. So cool! At home, only men had the right to go on raids. Women are only allowed to make children and cook.

The art of war knows no boundaries of gender. But only women can bear a child. That's why we're better than men. But let them believe the contrary, it would be rude otherwise.

Aha! I like your style lady Tomoe!


 * Kari: +20 to Opinion of Lady Tomoe.

You'll teach me the way of the Onna-Bugeisha?

I can teach you some moves with the blade. But be warned, a swordswoman without principles is just a vulgar killer. You must sharpen your mind and abide with the code of honor if you want to wield a blade like a knight.

(Translation: I have to listen to her bullshit while practicing... Okay, I can do it) Of course! I'm already feeling more honorable. You're a great teacher lady Tomoe.

Lesson One: Gi Training.
 * Kari: +10 to Opinion of Lady Tomoe.

So listen closely Kari. The first exercise is to practice your Gi.

Gi? Is it a weird weapon from your land? Or a fight technique?

Aha... No. It's called integrity. A true knight must always do what is right, even it it means a more difficult approach. On the contrary, if the road to the greater good leads to a rougher path that's when the knight's true resolve is tested. Taking the good road is how your practice your Gi. This way of thinking is true for any part of your life, not only combat. Before taking life-changing decisions, you start with little everyday choices.

Geh... I don't see how it will make me stronger in battle. Seems totally lame.

... You'll see. Practicing your Gi is equally important as practicing your sword.

... I think my Gi is already super strong, father taught me well. It's the sword that is lacking. Maybe we can skip directly to practice?

... I'll test your resolve then. If you pass, I'll teach you a few basic moves. Imagine the situation. Your master promises to award a powerful sword to his best student. The winner will be the one who hits his opponent the most. You fight like a tiger, and hit your opponent twelve times. But your master makes a mistake while counting your hits, and counts fourteen hits, putting you in a good position to win the sword. What will you do?


 * Don't say anything, master is always right.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * It's his mistake, not mine... I'm too respectful of my master to annoy him with little details.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * ... You have much to learn Kari.


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to opinion of Kari


 * Don't say anything, I need the sword to protect my family.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

If I can win the sword, I'll put it to use for the greater good!


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

Yes... But the way you acquired it wouldn't be honorable, so your spirit will forever be tainted. It would lead you to your demise, eventually.


 * Tell him his mistake.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * I guess that I should say that I'd tell him his mistake, but I really don't know why...


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Because acquiring the sword this way would be unfair to your other comrades. A sword gained with your own merit will be far more powerful than a sword acquired thanks to treachery. When you master the arts of war, the sword is just a vessel for your spirit power, a mere piece of metal.


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Gi Training permanently.

Lesson Two: Yuuki Training.

Ready for the next lesson?

Yes!

Today we'll practice your Yuuki, your Courage.

Yes!

A true knight doesn't run away in front of difficult tasks. Even what others would consider as "impossible".

(Hmmm... He doesn't seem very clever, this "true knight"... But go on...)

It doesn't mean that a knight never feels afraid. It's only natural to feel fear in the face of danger. But when a knight is scared, he will try his best to accomplish the task, instead of just freezing or running away from it. You understand?

I guess... But what if you face an army and you are only ten knights? You fight, and then you die?

Knights are no fools, they use their brains too. If there is a means to escape and fight another day, they'll do it. But imagine, they were to protect their lord during his escape... They'll face the enemy, and a certain death, with a knight's spirit. And fight the enemy with all their might to enable the escape of their lord. It's the way of honor.

Hmm... In the end, they still die.

But their spirit can rest in peace, and their names will be remembered forever for their greatness. That's the way to live one's life. Everyone dies in the end, you just decide what you do with the time that is allowed to you.

You're not a merry lot, you knights...

Not really no. If you want to achieve something in your life, you must be serious about it.

You're like the exact opposite of my aunt Moira.


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Yuuki Training permanently.

Lesson Three: Rei Training

Today I'll test your Rei.

(Not again... Please, kill me)

Imagine the situation: you don't know why, but everytime you go shopping to this particular merchant, he is very rude with you. He doesn't say hello or goodbye, gives you the cold shoulder, he even spat near your foot once. How would you react?


 *  I must show strength. 


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I spit and yell at him in return, I must show strength.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

No... No... Rei is respect. You must show him your kindness, so that maybe one day he'll change. You'll never learn, will you?


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to Opinion of Kari


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

But those rules are so dumb! It's not made for real life! Plus, we don't care anymore, there are no more merchants or whatnot... We are alone, on this stupid island full of dangers!


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

... The task is difficult, but we mustn't run away from it. We'll fight to make this hell a better place. That's the way of honor.


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Training permanently.


 *  I must show pride. 


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I'll never go in his damned shop again! I must show pride.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

No... No... Rei is compassion. You must show him your kindness, so that maybe one day he'll change. You'll never learn, will you?


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to Opinion of Kari


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

But those rules are so dumb! It's not made for real life! Plus, we don't care anymore, there are no more merchants or whatnot... We are alone, on this stupid island full of dangers!


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

... The task is difficult, but we mustn't run away from it. We'll fight to make this hell a better place. That's the way of honor.


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Training permanently.


 *  I say nothing. 


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I say nothing, like a coward... That's what you want to hear, right?


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

...You're half right. You must not run away from confrontation, but instead retaliate with kindness and comprassion.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

You act like a civilised person, you're polite with him, and so maybe his behaviour toward you will change.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

But you don't have to lower yourself to be as rude as someone who doesn't behave with goodness in his heart.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

That would be childish and you'd dishonour your name.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I understand, master Tomoe.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

(She loosing it... The old hag is becoming crazy.)


 * Kari -10 to Opinion of Lady Tomoe


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Training permanently.

Lesson Four: Makoto Training

So... Another boring lesson... No swords I presume?

No swords. Today I'll talk to you about Makoto. Imagine you have a dear friend. He runs to you, breathless, and tells you that he stole an apple from a local merchant. He asks you to tell the guards coming behind him that he was with you the whole time. What would you do?

---
 *  He must share his apple with me. 


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I won't tell the guards, but he must share his apple with me in compensation!


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

Tsk tsk tsk... You're both thieves in this case. A knight must always show the purest honesty in both acts and words. You are horribly wrong by choosing this solution, you lie to the authorities, and eat stolen property. You disappoint me Kari, I fear that you won't be able to learn anything from me...


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to opinon of Kari


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I'm trying, you know! You should show me your Rei, I need these lessons more than anything if l am such a mess!


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

... We'll see...


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Makoto Training permanently.

---
 *  Help my dear friend in need. 


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I am loyal to my friends! He must have a good reason, I'll trust him.


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

Tsk tsk tsk... You're both thieves in this case. A knight must always show the purest honesty in both acts and words. Even if he's your friend, he has commited a crime, and you can't deliberately lie to the guards to cover such an honorless act. You disappoint me Kari, I fear that you won't be able to learn anything from me...


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to opinon of Kari


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I'm trying, you know! You should show me your Rei, I need these lessons more than anything if l am such a mess!


 * Tomoe-Dialogue-Tag.png

... We'll see...


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Makoto Training permanently.

Lesson Five: Jin Training.

So, now that I've listened to all your garbage, I can practice the sword?

No.


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to opinion of Kari

And if you call my lessons garbage again, we're done.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Go on, bore me to death again

...


 * Lady Tomoe: -10 to opinion of Kari

Today's lesson is about your Jin. Something you are clearly lacking, so listen well. A knight is a fearsome warrior in battle, using all his rage to punish his enemies. But in life, a knight must show compassion and kindness to others.

(Zzzzzzzzzzzz)

Like when you meet someone really annoying, disrespectful, dirty, who asks you for help. She deserves your compassion like anyone else, despite her efforts to be the most annoying person on earth.

That's lame, if it were me I'd just not talk to this person.

...

...?

... (She doesn't get it...)

Bushido Apprentice

... You'll teach me the next lesson?

... I'll teach you Meiyo and Chugi, and then that will be the end of our lessons.


 * Kari: +10 to Opinion of Lady Tomoe

What you make of them will be up to you. The most important values of a knight are his Honor and Loyalty. You swear a vow of loyalty to your lord. In our case, it could be to your family. You must always stand by them, even in hard times. Even if you think that they are wrong, you must try to convince them of their mistakes, but in the end you must be faithful and stand by their side.

... Now you talk like my mom... But I understand... I guess.

Then you must never compromise your Honor. In our land, when a knight lost a battle, the code said that he should die by his own sword. It's victory, or death. There is no middle ground. Your Honor is something that will live on many years after your physical death. So it must be cherished a lot more than your own life, which is just temporary, a brief moment in time.

Did you ever lose a battle?

Nev-... Well... Until the code was broken.

You broke your own code?

It was... A difficult situation. Others around me broke the code, and it reflected on me. There was no honor left in staying and dying.


 * Lady Tomoe: + Depression.png Depression

I have nothing more, I'm just waiting for my physical death, like a lost spirit.

But if it was the fault of others, you didn't break the code yourself, so your honor is still safe!

... I don't know... I'm confused, to be honest. Maybe.


 * Lady Tomoe: + Depression.png Depression

I must meditate on that.


 * Lady Tomoe: +10 to Opinion of Kari


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.pngdo Apprentice permanently.

Kari & The Vallhund
Vallhund Recruitment.

This event occurs on a preset day (when?).


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

(...! I heard you, sneaky little bastard... You're hiding over there, in the bushes. Shh... Clam down Kari... Don't let the gurgling sounds in your belly distract you... You'll catch it. One... More... Step... Aaaaannnnd...) DINNER TIIIIIIIME!!!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <woof!>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

What the-...?


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

A... Dog?! What the Hel are you doing here, stupid? You'll get yourself killed.


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Whines>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

Hrumpf...I guess I'll have to go back to camp empty handed now... Shoo!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Whines>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

No! Don't follow me, stupid mutt! Go to your master! ... I said no! Urgh...

 (A grumpy kari headed back to camp, soon followed by the little dog.)


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

...! What have you brought us here?


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

He won't stop following me! He doesn't listen for a bit, this stupid deaf dog!


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png

Oooh, AT LAST you're bringing a lover home with you! I didn't expect him to be this... hairy... but still!


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

The poor boy... Look how tired and hungry he seems to be... He must have remained all alone for days.


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png

We could let him stay with us?


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

He seems to enjoy the idea! If Kari promises to care for him, I don't mind.  (And if it could teach her a bit of compassion and a sense of responsibilities...) 


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png

What do you say, Kari?


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

...

-
 * No way.

???

-
 * Why not.


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png

Are you sure? It's a lot of responsibilities you know... You'll have to take care of him everyday, even when you're tired or when it's raining... And you'll have to feed him... Will you share a bit of your meals with him, even if you're starving?


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

Err...

-
 * All things considered...

???

-
 * I'll do it.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

I know, I KNOW! I'll take care fo him, urgh... But he better make himself useful. He'll have to earn his meal like everyone else! Hmm.. I may train him to attack our enemies... Like Garmr the dog that slayed Tyr during Ragnarök!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png

(We have a long way to go before turning you into Garmr...)

Training.

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

Okey... Come here, lazy dog. No more sleeping all day long, today I'm going to train you!

<Whines>

No complaining. Soooo, what will we be starting with...? Hmm... Let's do some...


 * Running
 * *You need at least 1 Bones.png Bone


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Look at this juicy bone! If you follow me, I'll give it to you... Deal? Let's run! Come!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * I said come! Stupid dog!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * No, it's not time for your meal already! Grumble... Let go of the bone! You have to run first!


 * Valur took a firm grip on the bone in Kari's hand, who wouldn't let it go either. The dog started to pull, and so did Kari... She tried to run into the forest, dragging the dog along with her. It lasted for a long hour... The dog didn't run one bit. But Kari... She was sweating form pulling his weight all this way.


 * Kari: + Fatigue
 * Kari gains +5 Constitution


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Stupid <Pant> dog ... You're as stubborn as ... As... Me? Grumble... Here's your freaking bone.


 * You lose a Bones.png bone.


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Fetching
 * *You need at least 1 Bones.png Bone


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Look at this splendid stick! You want it, right?


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * So go get it!


 * Kari threw the woodstick as far as possible, towards the forest.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * GET IT! STUPID DOG!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Are you dumb or what? Go. Get. The. Damned. Stick! Every dog knows that one simple trick.


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Whines>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Grumble grumble... I'll show you again...


 * It lasted for a long hour... Kari was throwing the stick again and again, but to no avail... She had to slip into the roughest places of the forest to fetch back the stick. She finished the training utterly depressed.


 * Kari: + Drpression
 * Kari gains +5 Agility


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Sigh> you're really... urgh... What am I going to do with you...


 * Attacking


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Look, Valur, this tree is not a tree... IT'S OUR ENEMY! Look at me, I'm attacking this vile foe! Attack! Yaaah! Attack! Bite! Claw! Nasty tree! Yaaaah!


 * Kari attacked the tree herself... The dog gave her a sorry glare.


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Whines>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * ARE YOU A MORON OR WHAT?! Not even a single bark? Seriously?!


 * The dog slowly moved to the tree, and took a pee on it.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * ... RrrrRrrrrrrraaaargh!!!


 * Kari kept on attacking the poor tree until her hands turned red with blood.


 * Kari: + Injury


 * Valur didn't train, but at least Kari practiced her strength.


 * Kari gains +5 Strength


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * I guess the enemy wasn't scary enough... I swear, next time we see Björn, you'll be in the frontline!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * It's no use...


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Pfffff!!! It's no use... You're just as useful as a troll turd!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * No, don't be happy! I'm insulting you, you stupid dog! You should be ashamed!


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * He doesn't even understand that I'm yelling at him... By Loki... Are all dogs this DUMB?

Spilled Meal.

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

AHA! My first decent meal in AGES! Mom has her flaws, but I have to admit, her cooking is comparable to Frigg's!

<woof!>

You agree too, Valur? You're not so dumb then, after all!

<woof!>

What the-... Stop licking my face, stupid... Teeheehee... Come on now stop! What... WHAT?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!! You've spilled my meal all over the floor you lDlOTlC MORONIC STUPID DOG!



...And now you're eating it all... Perfect.

 * I guess you're starving too... Just like all of us.


 * Kari: +5 Wisdom


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Wait here, I'll see if I can find something else for you. Hmm...? What's this? Who spilled water on the shelter floor? But... That's... Not water...!!! Filthy dog!! Urrghhhh!!!


 * Let it go


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Pant> <Pant> <Pant>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * And you're proud of yourself...


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Sigh> You're a lost cause... But well... I guess we could all be dead tomorrow, so... No need to get upset over a little pee.


 * Kari gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Knowledge of dogs permanently.


 * Vallhund-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * <Woof!>


 * Let the anger out
 * (Skip to I'm going to kill him!)


 * Scold him


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * You're a BAD dog! A VERY BAD ONE! Come here, I'll show you...


 * Kari chased the dog all around the camp, but never managed to catch him... She lost track of him after a while.


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Pff... COWARD!


 * Kari: + Fatigue


 * Kari-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Now I'm hungry AND tired... Urgh... I will have to eat some crap meal again... What the...?! Who spilled water on the shelter's floor? But... That's... Not water...!!! Filthy dog!!! Urrghhhh!!!

I'm going to kill him!

Kari grabbed a stick and repeatedly hit the wall like Thor bashing giants' skulls.

Persevere.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Spilled Meal".

Pffff... That freaking DOG! I swear, he's SO useless! All he does is sleep and eat our food. And pee everywhere. Urgh!

... It takes time to educate a little dog. You need to persevere, child.

See how long it took my sister to educate you... And see the result... It takes a VERY long time.

Ah. Ah. Very funny. Can't we just abandon him in the forest? I don't want him anymore...

NO WAY. You've committed yourself, child. You have to take care of him until the end.

But mom...!

End of the discussion.

Pfff... That's SO unfair...

Look at the bright side... It's a good training for you to learn how to take care of babies...

... And you, did you ever learn?

AH! I'm-... err... (Damn, she has a point...)


 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Kari

Ravine.

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

Where is that stupid dog? Still peeing in the shelter I presume... Hmm... Not there? HEY DOG, COME HERE! I HAVE SOME TREAT FOR YOU! ... Hey Moira, have you seen the dog today?

No.

Hmrpf... I'm starting to get worried. This dumb dog could have fallen into a ravine or whatever.

''Kari started looking for the dog, nowhere to be seen in the camp. Her heart began racing as she was calling for him in the nearby forest.''

Valur! Where are you, dummy? It-... it's not fun anymore, come back now! WHAT THE-...!!!

''Kari slipped on some moss and fell into a ravine. She tumbled multiple times between rocks and thorny branches...''


 * Kari: + Injury

''She suddenly got stopped by a large tree trunk, which then fell onto her legs. She fainted from the pain, and once she recovered her senses, she soon found out that one of her legs was stuck under the trunk!''

(By the gods, my entire body is aching! And my leg...) AAAAHHHRR!!! (Nothing to be done, I’m fucking stuck under this damned tree! And my leg must be broken. Great.)


 * Kari gains the wound Fractured Leg for 4 days.

(Don't tell me that how I'm going to die?! Oh Hel no! Odin, you can't do this to me!) (What the... I saw something move over there! Could it be...) (Wolves... Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck... If they notice me... Of course they did... They're coming!)

<Hrrrrrrr> <WOOF!> <WOOF!>

Valur?! Don't attack them! You'll die!

At Kari's great surprise, the dog attacked and repelled the wolves with frenzied barks, bites and claws!

Wow... Good job! You're a good boy! Good boy!

<Woof!>

Come here my little-... Aaaand of course, he left. Great, I won't be eaten by wolves. I'll just die here from starvation in a couple of days instead. Perfect.


 * Kari: + Depression

''Time passed... Kari soon fell asleep as she was cursing the gods and her fate. Then she felt something viscous on her cheeks...''

<Woof!> <Woof!>

Hngnr? You're back again? That's nice, but...

KARI! KARI! Is that you over there?!

Mom? Mom... MOM! DAD! HERE! You went back to the camp and led them here? You did that, my good doggie?

<Woof!>

Ahaha! Stop licking my face, you dummy! You're the best!

''Blodeuwedd freed Kari from the tree trunk and Eirik carried her back home. They also took the wolves' corpses with them.''
