[fuckyou_chorus]

[Tonight the Mess Hall is filled with the smell of pumpkin and festive cheer! There are pumpkin pies, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice tea--it's all very cozy and warm and not at all ominous! ... Which in turn makes it kind of ominous, whoops. But, hey! Maybe this year will be different!]

[ You spot another one of those gray not humans. You hope this one is more polite than some of her brethren. Last last two you met were positively unmannerly!

She appears to be perplexed by the DELICIOUS FOODSTUFFS, so you decide to grab a nearby treat and consume it. Purely in the interest of demonstrating its edibility, of course.]

........
What the hell.
What is a Dersite doing here?

[waylaidvagrant]

[... It would seem she is another rude one.
You point your dashing MAYORAL sash to this girl to answer her question. Obviously you are here to be a mayor.

[trollplay]

Yeah, yeah, 8eauty queen, I see your sash.
I don't see what it has to do with anything.

[waylaidvagrant]

[You think this girl must either be uneducated or a complete fool, but you give her the benefit of that doubt and attempt to clarify by pointing out the window at the corn field, then back at your sash. You are sure that this will convey that you are the Mayor of Corn Town and that there is no possible room for misinterpretation.]

How did Jack not eat you alive?
Oh right, eating isn't what he does.
It's the sta88ing.

[waylaidvagrant]

[Why is this not human bringing up Jack? You'd really rather not think about him. At all. Ever.]

[trollplay]

Are you a sidequest NPC?
Do I have to talk to you to gain EXP?
Not that I need it, I already have it all.
But I'm 8ad at passing up quests.

[waylaidvagrant]

[NPC? EXP? This all sounds like complete nonsense to you, and you shake your head before disregarding it entirely.]

[trollplay]

So you can't talk at all?
Is this a mute escort mission?
Not that it'd matter 8ecause everything's 8een 8lown up.

[waylaidvagrant]

[Escort missions and explosions? More absurd babble! This poor girl is clearly a complete fool. You attempt to give her a sympathetic pat on the arm.]

[trollplay]

[ SHOOSH SHOOSH. She needs no pats or paps. ]

W8...
Are you the Dersite John traveled with?

[waylaidvagrant]

[Oh, does this girl know John? You nod. Indeed, you had some adventures with John long, long ago, not that you knew his name back then.]

[trollplay]

Let me introduce myself.
I'm a good friend of his. He's like a...
What did he call it?
Palhoncho.

[waylaidvagrant]

[John sure does keep some strange and often unmannerly company... But, since she is a friend of your friend you decide she can't be too terrible. You extend your hand to offer her a polite and civilized handshake.]

[trollplay]

[ You shake his hand in a firm grip. You come to the same conclusion that if he knows John, he can't be that bad. It is entirely possible he is VERY STUPID, though. You tend to keep that in mind for all new people you meet, John-knowing or not. ]

Got a name besides Mayo-r?
