Cissé & The Family
Night After Recruitment

This event occurs the night after Cissé has been recruited to the camp.

Thank you for welcoming me to your lovely village, my friends! Would you like to hear a song? I believe I have the perfect one for this occasion.


 *  Let Him Play. 


 * His music sounds odd at first, unlike anything you've heard before. It evokes peace, distant lands and wondrous landscapes, burnt by the sun but blessed by the gods. It carries you far away, and when it ends, an awkward silence follows.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * AHAHAHA! Thanks for bringing us a fool, dad! He's so dumb, it's funny.


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Kari! Show a bit of respect to our guest.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * Right, mom! I'm sure Björn will dance and sing with us next time we meet...


 * Kari: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Don't listen to the child, Cissé. She knows nothing about art.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Like they say, it takes a whole village to raise a child! Ah ah ah.


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Were you a skald in your land?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * In my dear sunny land, we are called Griots. Yes I was. Tale Teller, musician, poet, and keeper of the families' secrets... But that's a story for another time... Now let's share our delicious meals!


 *  Remind him of reality. 


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * Not really, friend. Even if we could enjoy a song, there are more pressing matters.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * There's a gang of raving lunatics who will kill us if we don't pay them a weekly tribute...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * We have barely enough food and water to survive...


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * And we have no idea if we can trust you, or if you'll even be useful.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Hmm... I see... Like they say, trust doesn't exist. Or the fish wouldn't be cooked in the water he was born into. Ah ah! I will do my share of the work, and everything I can to make everyone feel better. Fear not, friends. However long the night, the dawn will break at the end! That's the story I want to tell.

Hunger Strike, Part I

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

Hmm, you didn't eat today, no? Want something?

That's very delicate of you to have noticed, Eirik! I'm humbled by your consideration. But don't worry about me... I'm only starting a hunger strike to protest against Björn's rule.


 * Cissé receives the negative trait Special Trait Icon.png Hunger Strike.

Ah, okay... Wait, you WHAT?

Aha, don't worry Eirik, I will be fine. Every human being has a heart. That's my belief! I'm sure I can make a change with my diplomatic action.

...


 *  Don't put yourself in danger. 


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png

If you think that's a good idea, Cissé. Just promise me one thing...You'll stop when it gets dangerous for your health.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Aha! A wise person will always find a way! My sincere thanks for looking after me, Eirik.


 * Cissé: +20 to opinion of Eirik


 *  He's crazy 


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png

I don't think it's really a GOOD idea, Cissé.


 * Eirik: -10 to opinion of Cissé


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png

It won't achieve anything, except a quick death for you.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

You don't believe in me? That's sad.


 * Cissé: + Depression.png Depression


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

As we say, you must act as if it is impossible to fail. Let me help you however I can, Eirik.


 * Cissé: -10 to opinion of Eirik

Hunger Strike, Part II

This only occurs after the previous event "Hunger Strike I"

Cissé, I'm worried... Won't you stop your hunger strike now?

I can't Blodeuwedd, until my message of peace and love has touched the heart of our enemies.

...


 *  I'm worried for his health. 


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

But... Your body is already showing signs of weakness. Is it really worth it?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

As they say, peace is costly but it is worth the expense! That's my way of fighting. Thank you for looking after me, Blodeuwedd. I'm feeding on your kindness.


 * Cissé: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd


 *  I'm worried he will be too weak to work. 


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

If you're too weak to help during the day, you'll be a burden to us.


 * Blodeuwedd: -20 to opinion of Cissé


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

... Good words are food, bad words poison. That's all I have to say.


 * Cissé: -20 to opinion of Blodeuwedd


 * Cissé: + Depression.png Depression

Hunger Strike, Part III

This only occurs after the previous event "Hunger Strike, Part II"

(That dumbass is still doing his hunger strike... What a fool.)


 * Mock him.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

Hey, Cissé! Look here!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Hmm?


 * Kari throws some food at his face.


 * - Crap Meal.png Crap Meal


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

Open your mouth!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Kari! Stop!


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

Hehehehehehehe. If you don't come to food, food will come to you!


 * Cissé: -40 to opinion of Kari


 * Mock him, but not too hard.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

You know, if you are sick of this life, there are quicker ways... Poison, jump off a cliff, cut your own throat, hang yourself... Plenty of possibilities. I could even help you.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Aha... I know that in your own way, you're showing me compassion, Kari. Like we say, pretend you are dead and you will see who really loves you.


 * Cissé: +10 to opinion of Kari

Hunger Strike, Part IV

This only occurs after the previous event "Hunger Strike, Part III"

Cissé... As your healer, I'll ask you one last time... Eat. Now.

My dear Moira... You know... That I can't...

...

 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Look Cissé, everyone is worried for you. We love you, you know.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

We supported you in your ideas, you tried, you went all the way... But now, it's time to stop.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * We'll bring peace to this island. I promise. But we'll do it our own way. Okay?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png
 * If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. You remember?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... Yes. My heart is sad to have failed... But is filled with love. Thank you Moira.


 * Cissé gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Friends permanently.
 * Cissé loses the negative trait Special Trait Icon.pngr Strike.

The Tortoise and the Medicine

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

So, I have this little tale that keeps dancing on my tongue lately... This is the story of the tortoise and the medicine soup.

What is a tortoise?

It's an animal with a bald head and an armour on its back.

A bit like Björn, then...

A bit like him, yes... So the tortoise and his wife had been married for a long time, but sadly, they were unable to have a child. The tortoise went to see the medicine man, who gave him a potion in a pot for his wife to get pregnant. Inside the pot were very large, juicy chunks of meat, with a powerful beef aroma. The tortoise thought that his wife had a small appetite, and surely wouldn't eat it all. So he ate one delicious chunk, then another, then one more... Soon, there was only one piece left! He was ashamed of what he did, but he hoped one chunk would be enough to get his wife pregnant. When he arrived home, his stomach started to hurt so badly he had to get back to the medicine man. But the medicine man couldn't help him, and after several days of pure agony, the tortoise died.

...

The end.


 *  What a horrible story! 


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * This is utterly depressing... And unfair! I mean, yes, he ate most of the potion, but it seems to me that the medicine man tricked him!


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * I liked it! The tortoise was an idiot and deserved to die. The wife's better without him!


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * If you ask me, it's obvious the wife and the medicine man were having an affair and planned his murder.


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Well, at least, his death avoided a more terrible fate to his family in the future...


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Hum, maybe I should have chosen another story...


 *  Is there any moral behind this? 


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * It's a deliciously horrible little tale, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to teach us...


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Well... It reminds me of another old saying in our land that... Wisdom is like a baobab tree. One individual alone can't embrace it.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * What the Hel is a baobab tree?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * It's a majestic, very large kind of tree. Their hollow trunks are used as graves for people of my caste.


 * Moira-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Fascinating. We Norsemen have tales about Yggdrasil, a gigantic tree at the center of the cosmos...


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png
 * No wonder they drop you into hollow trees if you tell such stories! I liked it, though.


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * I think I get it. It's a tale about the consequences of your actions. Don't be greedy, or you'll pay later.


 * Eirik-Dialogue-Tag.png
 * Björn... I hope he will choke on the soup we give him...

The Bat and the Rat

Hey! Would anyone want to know why the bat only flies by night?

Unless this is hunting tips, I'm pretty sure I don't want to hear this shit.

... If this story can keep obnoxious children silent, please, we are ALL listening.

Once upon a time, the rat and the bat were great friends. They always fed together. But the rat was more popular among ladies, and the bat was jealous. When the bat prepared soup, it was always delicious, so the rat asked him how it could be so tasty. "I always boil myself in the water, and my flesh is so sweet that the soup is good", said the bat. Then he jumped into a pot of hot water, which was not boiling, and came out after a few seconds. When he served the soup it was as excellent as usual, as the bat had prepared it beforehand.

So he just bathed in it? That's kind of disgusting. And weird...

Not unless he peed in the soup!

The rat then went home, and told his wives he was going to make good soup like the bat's. So his wives boiled some water, and when they were not looking, he jumped into the pot, and died. When his wives found his dead body in the pot, they became very angry and reported the matter to the king. Everyone turned out to catch the bat, but he hid. And ever since, he only comes out by night.


 * What a treacherous prick!


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png

That... Was really low... Imagine, your best friend tricks you into killing yourself, just like that!


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png

This doesn't add up. What would the bat gain, since the rat's wives hate him?


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if the king was involved... Did he pay the bat to murder the rat?


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png

Conspiracy? Aren't you two a bit paranoid?


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

I don't see why the bat would turn into a royal assassin unless the rat was a royal bastard.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Err... This isn't really what the story was about...


 * Good riddance.


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

The rat was a freaking idiot. The bat did him a favor!


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Yeah, and he had a bit too many wives for my taste... But more importantly, he had no problem enjoying a soup flavored by his friend's hypothetically boiled butt. Which I find slightly disturbing... So the rat was a cannibal, right?


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

Eeew, gross!


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png

I hope we won't come down to this if we lack food.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png

...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Let's eat Cissé first then!


 * Kari Dialogue Tag.png

I'll take a leg!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

...! (These people... They scare me sometimes...)

Cissé's New Song

This event only occurs after Cissé's event with Moira, people of the mind [unconfirmed].

Cissé, wouldn't you mind singing a few songs for us?

Oh yes! Your music always soothes my mind. Please!

Erm... I don't know if...

Come on Cissé... The ladies are waiting!

Okay... Okay... Hmmm... I may have a new song...

''Cissé starts playing a few melancholic notes on his weird instrument. He sings with a deep, gentle voice...''

She has hair of flame, and skin of silk... The maiden of my dreams, that I can't stop thinking... Her mind is sharp, her tongue is swift... Her presence of earth is a gift. HmmmHmmmHmmm...

(What the...!!!)

(Is he... singing about...)

(Moira... You sly little fox...)

So... That's it... My new song. What do you think?

Yes, MOIRA, what do you think?


 * That's sweet...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Not bad, not bad... The topic of the song is what makes it good, obviously. You could work a bit more on some lyrics... They're a bit... Awkward. Go back to the writing table, skald! And show me what you've got!


 * Moira & Cissé: +10 to opinion of each other.


 * SO lame!


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Pfffrrrrtttt... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

...


 * Moira Dialogue Tag.png

Sorryy AHAH sorry... AH! Hehe... I can't stop... AHAHA laughing Pffrrrttt...


 * Moira: - Depression.png Depression


 * Cisse: + Depression.png Depression

Cissé & Blodeuwedd
My People

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

Blodeuwedd... It is such a different name than what I'm used to, I wouldn't even know how to sing it.

I hope you won't write songs about me all day long... I'd prefer you go chop some wood.

Don't be afraid! My mind wanders in a sea of words all day long! I can work AND craft tales at the same time AH AH AH!

I'm afraid you are not focused on the here and now...


 * Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Cissé

As a griot, it is my duty to tell the tales of my people. And... now, you are my people.


 * We're not your people


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * Don't get the wrong idea... My "people" is my family. You're just a stranger. A strange one too.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * We're not related by blood. But I am now, by nature, the witness and keeper of your deeds. I live in your village, you'll live in my songs. And so will this island and all its inhabitants.


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * You'll have to earn our trust by deeds. Not by words, even beautiful ones.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... I am just an humble servant of history, art and beauty. I wish you could understand... But I can't make you.


 * Cissé: -10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Like they say, crops won't grow before the rain has fallen.


 * What tales would you tell me?


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

I'm curious about your lore... Tell me one of your stories.


 * Cisse-Dialogue-Tag.png

That will be my pleasure! So... This is the story of the dog who hid his mother. There was a terrible famine in the animal kingdom, so they met, and decided they would eat their mothers. The dog, who didn't want to sacrifice his mother, decided to hide her in the sky. Everyday, once all had killed and eaten their mothers, he sang a song asking his mother to drop a rope. The dog would climb to the sky where his mother would have a feast waiting for him. One day, the tortoise went to the same spot, and, disguising his voice like the dog, he sang the song. But the dog was near and sang to warn her mother, who cut the rope. The tortoise crashed to the ground. This caused tortoise's shell to break into many pieces. He managed to glue these pieces together... And this is why the tortoise has the rough shell we know today.


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

Hum... I have no idea what a tortoise is, nor what the tale was about...But you told it very well. Thank you Cissé.


 * Blodeuwedd: +  Wisdom  Experience

Face of Flowers

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

Blodeuwedd, I know how to sing your name, but not its meaning. Where does it come from? It would help me to understand your character, and write the tale.

If you must... Mother told me once it means "Face of Flowers". And before you say it's beautiful... It's just a nicer way to say "freckles".

Like they say, a woman is a flower in a garden, her husband is the fence around it! But I guess in our story, you are both the flower AND the fence!


 * What do you mean?


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

I don't know how I should take that...


 * Cisse-Dialogue-Tag.png

I think this village would collapse without your strength. Eirik needs you. We all do... So indeed, you'll be the pillar of the tale. The fence around the village.


 * Blodeuwedd: +10 to opinion of Cisse.


 * Blod-Dialogue-Tag.png

If you say so... But please, make it more than a tale. Whatever you create, make it useful. I don’t want to be a fence around a graveyard. We don’t need tales yet, we need answers.


 * Cisse-Dialogue-Tag.png

As we say in my beloved sunny land, what you learn is what you die with. You are right. I will do my best to unravel the tale of this island. Maybe the trees or the sea will know it. I will listen. I will ask.


 * Cisse gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Spirits Wisdom permanently.


 * Enough gibberish!


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * This doesn't make any sense, and please, don't serve me another of your old saying... I like you, Cissé, but I don't understand half of what you are saying, most of the time. And what we need right now is knowledge. Not poetry and songs.


 * Blodeuwedd: -10 to opinion of Cissé


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png


 * Cissé: + Depression.png Depression


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Wisdom is like fire. People take it from others. I've heard you, Blodeuwedd. But what do you want me to do?


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * I'd like you to look for the secrets of this island. The survival of the "village" may well depend on them. With all your wisdom, I'm sure you could help finding answers.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * You are right. I will do my best to unravel the tale of this island. Maybe the trees or the sea will know it. I will listen. I will ask.


 * Cissé gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.pngts Wisdom permanently.

Spirit's Land

This event only occurs after the previous event "Face of Flowers"

Blodeuwedd, I have given some thought to what we discussed last time... I think the island isn't entirely part of the known world. It may belong to the spirits land.

What do you mean? That we're all already dead? Is it Hel?

No... Spirits are no more dead than you and me. Theyjust live in another land, one that is hard to reach. I feel that we were somehow called here, like the moth is called by the flame. Now the question is, how do we avoid getting burned? Can we decide our fate, or has it been decided?


 *  We Were Called? 


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png

What makes you think some kind of spirit called us to this forsaken island?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Well, for once, did you notice how we all speak the same language? I am a scholar among my people, and yet, I have never heard one word of the Norsemen's language.


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png

But you speak my language perfectly!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

I don't. It is you who speak mine flawlessly... Or mostly, this is my language that I hear when you speak. This is why I think we were invited here by some powerful spirits.


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png

I can't deny it. That's... unsettling.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

As we say in my beloved sunny land... When the gods are cooking, there is no smoke.


 *  What About This "Flame"? 


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * Do you think we're mere insects about to be crushed by a divine power?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * We may be as flies caught in Anansi's great web. We thought we came here by our own will, and yet...Our luck was a bit forced, don’t you think? What were the odds for us to meet? Now, that doesn’t mean whatever brought us here is evil. In a way, we have been saved from the sea.


 * Blod Dialogue Tag.png
 * Yes. but living here is difficult... We're barely surviving. Is it some kind of trial from the gods?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * A trial it is, of this I have no doubt. But to what purpose? We'll have to find out. Like they say, you always learn a lot more when you lose than when you win.

Cissé & Eirik
Warrior Or Man of Peace?

Eirik! Can I ask you something? I've been wondering about who you really are since I met you.

Who I really am? What do you mean?

Well, I am confused. You look like a warrior, a man who can kill and destroy for a living. But you also seem to be a man of peace, as I am.


 * I'm a warrior.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * I'm a warrior. As a Norseman, this is how I've been raised. For now, I can only bow to these bullies, but one day I'll drink in Björn's skull.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Really? You don't strike me as someone capable of such mindless brutality.


 * Cissé: --10 to opinion of Eirik


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * As they say, one who causes others misfortune also teaches them wisdom.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * Wisdom... I fear this new world is as mad as the one we left... If there is a secret meaning in all this, I'm still wondering what.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Who knows... Knowing that you know nothing is the beginning of a wonderful journey, my friend.

I'm a man of peace.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * I'm a man of peace, and this situation pains me... We've fled violence, only to find more violence. But I have to be strong, or my family will suffer.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * An army of sheep led by a lion can crush an army of lions led by a sheep. I don't think violence can solve anything. It only causes more violence, and so on, in an endless cycle.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * I agree Cissé... I agree...


 * Eirik & Cissé: +10 to opinion of each other.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * Björn's message was clear. They don't talk or negotiate or anything. They take what they want.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

Patience can cook a stone, Eirik. Tomorrow may bring a solution. If not, the day after...


 * Cisse gains the positive trait Special Trait Icon.png Optimistic permanently.

The Monkey's Bottom

How do you feel, Eirik? You seem to be in a mood as grim as a hyena's rectum tonight!

I'm brooding on the past, my friend. And the future doesn't look better.

I see. What you need is a little song, then. Do you know how the monkey's bottom got swollen and red? The monkey was boasting he should be king instead of the lion, and the tortoise thought it was silly. The tortoise didn't want a fool for a king, so he decided to put the monkey back in his place. He went home to prepare some delicious akara into which he added some fresh honey. Then he put a basket full of sweet akara outside the lion's door. The lion ate them all with delight! It was the best akara he ever had! He grabbed the tortoise by the neck and asked where to get more. The tortoise explained it was a secret. The delicious akara was in fact poop coming from the monkey's butt. So the lion went immediately to the monkey's house and asked for his sweet poop. The monkey was confused and gave the lion a blank stare. He was terrified and defecated on the spot. It was not sweet and the lion was mad. So he beat the monkey's bottom until it was all swollen and red. Since then, the monkey has shelved his ambition to become king of all the animals.


 * Ahah.. Funny.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png

That's a good story, Cissé! You win, I laughed. It's been a while...


 * Eirik: - Depression.png Depression
 * Eirik: +10 to opinion of Cissé


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png

Seriously, where did you learn such wicked tales?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png

I think this one comes from my grandmother... I remember she told me the tortoise himself had told her this story. I believed her, back then. Who knows? Maybe she was telling the truth! There is an old saying in our land that... Stories always tell the truth.


 * Akara? What is it?


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * What kind of food is this?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Some sort of fried bean cake. Everyone in the village gets his share of akara in moments of celebrations.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * I sure wish we had something to celebrate besides staying alive one more day... But I wonder... Is the lion so stupid he can barely tell the difference between food and shit?


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Well... There is an old saying in our land that... Even the king has to be taught!


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * Where I come from, kings sure need to be taught... They don't know much except feasting and killing.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * Ha! Maybe they'd need a griot, my friend.

Lightning and Thunder

Eirik, I've heard you and your family ended up there after a terrible storm.

Yes, that is true. What a dreaded night it was... I still don’t know how we made it.

Do you know the story of the lightning and the thunder?

Indeed, it‘s Thor, with his mighty hammer Mjölnir, whose sparks become lightning! And mortals cover in fear as they hear the rumble of his chariot wheels thundering across the sky.

Well, in my beloved sunny land, thunder and lighting lived among people, on the far end of the town. The thunder was an old mother sheep, and the lightning was her son, a ram. When the ram got angry he used to burn houses and knock down trees, and even kill people! Then his mother used to call out to him in a very loud voice to stop and not to do any more damage. But the lightning most often didn't listen to his mother at all, and caused tremendous acts of destruction. The people could not stand it any longer, so the king exiled the mother and son to the forest. But the angry son burned the forest, and the flames spread to the farms and fields. The people complained again. Mother and son were sent to the sky, where they could not do much harm. Ever since, when the lightning is angry, you can hear his mother, the thunder, telling him to stop. Sometimes, however, when the mother has gone away some distance from her naughty son... you can still see that he is angry and is doing damage, but his mother's voice cannot be heard.


 *  This is Utterly Silly. 


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * Horseshit! This doesn't make any sense, everyone knows this is Thor's work!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * In your land, perhaps, but not in mine...


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * Thor is a god, he goes wherever he wants!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * I've never heard of a white man on a chariot in our sunny lands, so I don't think he ever visited us.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * Really? Maybe so, but he sure followed me here, and nearly killed me and my family!


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... You can't blame the spirits, they don't have a will of their own. They are like mischievous little children, with tremendous powers.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * ... These kids should be taught a good lesson. They shouldn't play with our lives.


 * Eirik: + Depression.png Depression


 *  Interesting Idea! 


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * It never occurred to me that Thor wouldn't go to distant lands...But it seems the world doesn't end where I thought it would, so what do I know? If your skins are black and your mountains are made of sand, thunder and lighting could be mother and son.


 * Cisse Dialogue Tag.png
 * It reminds me of an old saying in our land that... One who doesn't know something knows another.


 * Eirik Dialogue Tag.png
 * ...Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Cissé. It's good to have you here.


 * Eirik & Cisse: +10 to opinion of each other.

Cissé & Kari
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?

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.

Cissé & Moira
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.

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

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

 * 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

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

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.

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

Presents

This only occurs after the previous event "People of the Mind".

You know Cissé, in our homeland, when a man wants to impress a woman, he brings her some presents...

Ah! As we say in my homeland, having a good discussion is like having riches!

Hmm yeah... But no. I want a present!

... What kind?

There is this beautiful flower, that grows rather far from the camp...

No problem, I'll go fetch you one!

After a long, tiring walk, Cissé comes back with some flowers.

 * Cissé: +20 to opinion of Moira

I don't know if you could... No that's too much to ask...

You can ask me anything!

If you insist... I would need some water to make a potion out of these beautiful flowers...

No problem!

And some wood!

As we say, a single stick may smoke, but it will not burn!

Cissé comes back after a while, covered in sweat.

 * Moira: +10 to opinion of Cissé

I shall play forever, then!


 * Cissé: +10 to opinion of Moira

... What do you think there is, after... Death...

Hmm... In my homeland, we believe that your body and your spirit melt with earth, air, water. But here... I don't know. Only a fool would say he knows such things.

And ghosts.

Aha yes... Why are you thinking about death, Moira?

I-... I'm afraid... I'm afraid to just disappear, and leave no trace here. I guess that's why people make babies... I never thought of it before being so close to death. And I fear that now... It's too late.

Why do you say that? You can always leave a trace! You left a trace on everyone you interacted with! Me, your family... Even our enemies. They will carry your legacy way beyond your death.

...

And... You still can find a husband and bear a child...

But... Will I be able to carry a child? Maybe that's something your body forgets how to do, if you close your mind to it for too much time? And what if... I'm a bad mom? What if... My son becomes a new Björn, because I raised him badly?

... As we say, when you follow in the path of your father, you learn to walk like him. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Are we... Alone?

Hmm? Yes, why-...

Then please, let me say what I have to say, without interrupting me...

...?

I went looking for some goons from Björn... Alone... So that I would get hurt... It was my only chance to get some time alone with you, and have the courage to say what I'm going to say. Moira, I have loved you, from the bottom of my heart, since I first saw you. I know that love has to be shown by deeds not words, so I promise that if you allow me too love you... Everyday I'll do my best to make you happy, and to make you smile. When I see this beautiful smile on your face, only then I feel alive. I feel a warmth in my hearth... I could do anything to just see your smile everyday. In my homeland, they say to never marry a women who has bigger feet than you... But I'm sure that there is no saying that to never marry a women who has a bigger heart than you!

Hmm? What happened? You realized that we will surely end up dying an horrible death on this damned island? AH!

I'm not afraid of dying. As we say, death is like a dress that, at some point or another, everyone has to wear. My heart is aching, and without knowing it, you are no stranger to my suffering...

Wait... Are you saying that I broke your heart? Sorry Cissé, I don't do men.

Ah ah ah... No, no... My heart belongs to a particular woman in this camp, but sadly, I saw how she looks at you... With stars in her eyes. But when she looks at me... Nothing happens. It's not your fault, it's just...

AH! But my poor Cissé, you think you'll get in a woman's pants just by looking at her?? AHAHAHAHA! I'm in a good mood tonight, I'll give you some love advices. If it can improve your mood AND your music, that's for the best.

 * Success :Cissé performs a funny, upbeat song. He gives it all, he starts dancing around Lady Tomoe and making strange noises. Lady Tomoe was embarassed by the mad music man... Even more when all the camp came looking what that ruckus was about. Everyone had a great night... but Lady Tomoe, who tried to stay apart from this crazyness.

Cissé & Yaghoub
You and Moira

This event can only trigger if the player has the Norse Side Stories DLC active AND both characters are part of the camp.

A little bird told me that you and Moira were pretty close, isn't it?

Hmm? As close as one can be from a beautiful rose full of spines, yes! Ahaha!

Ahaha yes, she has a sharp tongue and long fans... I got bitten too!

Ah, you spoke to her? I didn't know...

Yes... I just wanted to know, what are your intentions with her?

Oh, I might marry her someday! If she doesn't kill me first! Ahahaha!

Ahahaha! Yes, yes... of course. Very bold of you, ahaha.

Ahahahaha!

Aha!

Ah...

Well then, good luck with that! You'll need aplenty! Aha. Ah.

Aha. Thank you Cissé. Good luck to you too. Aha.

...

...

So good night then!

Yes! Good night, good night. Aha.
