Free City, Truce - Fountain
A tiered fountain marks the center of the city Truce, water gushing from
its summit and trickling down to quench the masses. Benches surround it,
and a stone plaza in turn surrounds them. Roads flow like rivers from the
plaza, one in each cardinal direction, and houses sprout like weeds around
them. Not far to the east, the ocean softly roars in the city harbor.

(] Exits: north east south west [)
A very tall building juts out of the ground here.
The fountain of Truce pours streams of drinkable water here.

Imbibobot staggers into the room, trailed by a couple of rabites.

Snoozewolf looks at you.

You drink nectar from a water bottle.

You say 'Ahem.'

Snoozewolf coughs loudly.

The nerdy rabite leaves north.

Imbibobot sounds like he's clearing his throat, but it's really just a canned sound effect.

You say 'Hey. Back in line!'

The nerdy rabite has arrived from the north.

Snoozewolf raises an eyebrow.

You rear back and slap the nerdy rabite cruelly for her stupidity, sending her sprawling to the floor.

The nerdy rabite salutes you.

You say 'Now, where was I.'

Snoozewolf says 'Something about alcohol?'

You drink nectar from a water bottle.

You nod in agreement with him.

You say 'People of Truce!'

You say 'Do you find you are missing something in your life?'

You say 'Does existence ever feel hollow?'

You point at him accusingly.

Snoozewolf jumps in surprise!

You say 'That is right. You!'

You say 'Your existence is hollow like a bell. I could ring it.'

Snoozewolf says 'What will fill it?'

You say 'I am glad you asked.'

You drink nectar from a water bottle.

You say 'For countless years, people have toiled under the yoke of sobriety.'

Darnin bursts through the wall, into the game.

You say 'I am here to offer you a new option.'

You say 'A drink to fill your hollow existence to the brim.'

Snoozewolf listens intently.

> point rabite
You point at her accusingly.

Kolem blinks, folding his arms.

The nerdy rabite salutes smartly.

Snoozewolf looks at the nerdy rabite.

The nerdy rabite digs into the ground a few inches and pulls on a root with her teeth.

The fountain of Truce gradually dries up.

Snoozewolf watches, enraptured by the specatcle before him.

Kolem startles.

Kolem says 'What the...'

The area starts to rumble.

Kolem blinks in utter disbelief.

Snoozewolf starts looking worried.

The fountain of Truce starts flowing again, but something's different.

Snoozewolf says 'YeeEEashch IiI uuUnkDEerScHtAunDt NAooOWh.'

Kolem says 'iI dooonn't Feel sSzzsssaOoo Gaooood...'

Snoozewolf hiccups.

Imbibobot says 'And now we bring it to you. All we ask...'

Imbibobot says '...is that you pledge your faith to God!'

Kolem says '...'

Imbibobot says 'To lend him a Buck when He's Broke, and to let Him Sleep on your couch.'

Snoozewolf nods in understanding.

Imbibobot says 'Who will accept our gifts?'

Snoozewolf slowly and solemnly raises his right paw.

Snoozewolf says 'I will.'

You clap at his performance.

Kolem says '...'

You point at it accusingly.

Kolem says 'buhhut doEsNn'T aalcjOoohoL... ClOooUhd YouhUr jUhDGehmmmehnT..?'

Snoozewolf looks at Kolem.

Kolem looks a little.. green around the beak.

Snoozewolf says 'Only for those who do not understand.'

Imbibobot says 'Nonsense.'

Imbibobot says 'You have a choice. Freedom or slavery.'

Imbibobot says 'What will it be?'

Snoozewolf says 'Alcohol does not cloud your judgment- it '

Snoozewolf says 'ENHANCES IT!'

Kolem blinks in utter disbelief.

Kolem says 'waOooooOof... .. uhUH...'

Kolem says 'iI'm NnooOot ZSssSuhhureh ii zjahhhhN.. HhhaNdleh tHhHeh iINTehNnzzZzssZE ZSssSPIirituaL EkspErIehnnsje--'

Imbibobot says 'A stomach...?'

Kolem looks a little greener.

Snoozewolf 's eyes begin to glow with a strange resonance...

Imbibobot whispers over to one of his rabites 'What's a stomach?'

The nerdy rabite opens her mouth REALLY wide. Oh, there's a stomach. Ew.

> look snooze
Class: Warrior Innate: none Proficencies: melee longslash shortslash One
look at this moogle says all- he does NOT like to be irritated... Though he
is hard to irritate, watch out when he is! He typically is seen wearing
(when he's not wearing armor) a simple vest of canvas, lightly padded with
goose-down for warmth and protection from the elements. Snoozewolf also
wears blue jeans (however odd that may seem) and the boots he wears are
plated with a strange, light blue metal. His gloves ahave the fingertips
missing, and his natural claws are poking through, sharpened to needles.
Lastly, on his back, there is a shoulder scabbard for the Masamune, and
acting as his belt is a vorpal energy-infused whip, which isn't necessary
for holding up his pants- it just looks cool.

Kolem hiccups.

Snoozewolf whispers to in your ear 'A stomach is what us organics use to process fluids and solids during digestion.'

Kolem says '...oog.'

Kolem says 'That stuff kicks harder than a mule..'

You nod.

You say 'Ah. I understand. A reactor.'

You say 'I am sure we can find you a lead acid battery to consume. No worries.'

You pat Kolem on its back.

Snoozewolf says 'Similar. It uses a combination of acids and bases to digest food, without destroying the organic from the inside.'

Snoozewolf says 'I could go on and on, but that's the basic picture.'

You say 'We need to extend our offer to the masses.'

Imbibobot turns up his volume dial.

Kolem says '..um.. wh--'

You shout 'Who will be baptized at the Fountain of Truce?!'

You shout 'Who will partake in God's gifts?! Who will drink the endless rivers of alcohol?!'

Snoozewolf says 'You're going to need an amplifier, Prophet. The world must know of these wondrous happenings!'

The Truce Banker has arrived from the south.

The Truce Banker says 'What's all this ye -'

Snoozewolf produces an amplifier chip and hands it to you.

The Truce Banker looks at you.

The Truce Banker says 'Oh god! It's you! I detest you!'

Imbibobot accepts the amplifier chip.

Kolem looks at The Truce Banker.

Imbibobot plugs it into his back.

Snoozewolf looks at the Truce Banker.

The Truce Banker is knocked to the ground by all the volume.

Dusk appears in the room.
A seasoned crab appears in the room.

>point banker
You point at her accusingly.

You say 'You donated Bucks to God. You have demonstrated your loyalty.'

The Truce Banker says 'Donated bucks? You mean when you robbed me?'

A seasoned crab collapses into a heap on the floor and mutters softly, "M..ust...find...something to drink...so..thirsty..."

You say 'Baptism time!'

Snoozewolf grins evilly.

Imbibobot grabs the banker about the collar and dunks his head in the fountain.

You say 'You there! I see you.'

You say 'You love God, do you not?'

Snoozewolf looks at Dusk.

Dusk says 'What is God?'

Dusk says 'This is a question we all must find ourselves.'

You say 'No. That is a dumb way of thinking.'

You say 'I can tell you who is God.'

You say 'He is a nice guy.'

Snoozewolf nods in agreement with you.

A seasoned crab says 'E..someone...please...'

Dusk says 'Assuming he is of a material being.'

Dusk says 'I find that 'God' is an existance we choose to place meaning in.'

A seasoned crab says 'Can't...reach....fountain...'

The nerdy rabite notices the poor crab.

Snoozewolf looks at a seasoned crab.

Dusk says 'A meaning which we must find so powerful to place it into something so loose.'

A seasoned crab says 'Can't....go on...help...'

The nerdy rabite wedges herself under the crab and offers a boost to reach the fountain.

You say 'Material... existence... huh, what?'

You scratch your head.

Dusk says 'Perhaps someday you'll understand, or even find it yourself.'

A seasoned crab says 'Ohhh...thanks little buddy, just over here...'

Imbibobot is out of his depth, spiritually speaking.

You say 'Are you saying God is a place?'

Kolem is clutching his head off to the side. "How did you find this... uh... miraculous beverage, anyway?"

You say 'Can we go there? Will it take a long time?'

Snoozewolf gets a shot of Deneb's Dragonsbreath from a Christmas tree.

Snoozewolf says 'I believe this is one of his best creations.'

Snoozewolf drinks firebreather from a shot of Deneb's Dragonsbreath.
Empty, a shot of Deneb's Dragonsbreath magically recycles itself into thin air.

You point at him accusingly.

You say 'You are not God, are you?'

A seasoned crab says 'Just a little mor--oh crap, yes sir!'

The moogle trader leaves north.

Snoozewolf freezes in shock!

Dusk grins evilly.

Dusk says 'Not yet.'

Mpoppybros says 'Did... Did I just hear someone drink alchohol from a fountain?'

Mpoppybros says 'Man, they do some crazy things with fountains.'

Kolem says 'You've got an awfully specific sense of hearing--oog...'

Snoozewolf looks straight into Dusk's eyes and sees.... something.

A seasoned crab says 'Ohhh, must be my imagination again. Why back in the first war...'

A seasoned crab drinks vodka from the fountain of Truce.

Mpoppybros says 'Yeah I do. Someone keeps shouting all of our actions and it annoys me.'

Rabite Forest - Secret Rabite Plumbing
You stand within a giant, hollowed-out taproot, running laterally
underground like a pipe. A series of tubers, such as carrots and potatoes,
are lined up single-file along the base of the taproot. They have been
chewed and gnawed in a precise way, letting them interlock seamlessly. The
tuber tube is spliced onto some more traditional plumbing that leads up and
out of here.

Rabite Forest - Forest Springs
A small oasis in the forest labyrinth, the springs quench the thirst
of travelers, gurgling as liquid spurts out and pools within the marble
basin. The trees around the fountain have been cut down, surrounding the

Kolem says 'Don't be dumb!'

Kolem says 'For one thing--'

Snoozewolf snarls.

Kolem says '--where are we, anyhow? Isn't this Rabite Forest?'

Dusk says 'I don't believe this! Why?! Is this your form of 'judgment'?! Have I not been faithful?! Have I not spoken down the lesser believers, the fools who follow such blind paths?! What did I do to deserve this?!?'

You say 'He looks like he is having a great time.'

Kolem says 'Well...'

Snoozewolf laughs.

Kolem says 'Why aren't you sharing god's love instead?'

Kolem says 'Go on, true believer.'

A seasoned crab says 'Ohh, so what's where it came from. Why, it's a liquid of life! Saved me life more than once.'

Dusk says 'Because it is not meant to be taken, only given.'

Kolem looks at rabite springs.

You say 'I think it is clear what needs to be done.'

Kolem says 'Where does it come from? Why does it flow so easily here?'

Kolem hiccups a little.

You say 'No fountain, no spring. We must make a geyser of alchol for the people!'

A seasoned crab says 'Doesn't bother me none! I've been trained not to question orders, among other things!'

Kolem looks at Dusk.

Kolem says 'Hey... here, pal. Don't drink it all, but...'

Kolem gives the kitchen sink to Dusk.

Dusk says 'I don't think I will drink another liquid for the rest of my days.'

Kolem says '...sounds like a local boozester.'

A seasoned crab says 'If the Pub can hold someone his size, I'd like to see it!'

Kolem says 'Uh, y'know, little robot guy...'

Kolem says '..there are pubs all over the place. You do know that, right?'

Kolem gives Dusk a look.

Dusk says 'A Pink being of perfection residing in a low earthly place? Interesting.'

You say 'Of course. I have seen many of them!'

You say 'But among many pubs, there is only one Pub.'

Kolem blinks in utter disbelief.

A seasoned crab says 'One..pub?'

You say 'Now that you are mentioning it, I have not seen God in a few weeks.'

You say 'I have a few Bucks for Him.'

Kolem says 'Does, uh, this.. god...'

Dusk says 'When you say Pub...is he the name of he who is most high to you?'

Kolem bends over, and scrawls something in the dust.

Dusk says 'Oh, forgive my impatience. I'm a Scholar, you see.'

Kolem First he draws a circle. Then he dots the eyes. Adds a great big smile, and HEY--it's a Popstarian!

Kolem says 'Look something like this?'

Imbibobot brightens up.

You say 'You have seen Him!'

Dusk scratches his head in confusion.

Kolem says 'I've seen... something like this before.'

Kolem says 'I think there's a whole species of them.'

Dusk says 'I wouldn't have imagined such a supreme entity to look so...small.'

You say 'I do not recall if it blasphemous to make a graven image.'

Kolem says 'The ones I talked to were all a little...'

Kolem says 'odd...'

You say 'I think He would let it slide, as it captures His Figure quite nicely.'

Kolem says 'But they were all decent folks.'

Imbibobot looks worried.

You say 'A whole species of them?'

A seasoned crab says 'Yeah, I'd drink it up with a jolly god like that.'

Imbibobot checks his wallet.

You say 'I believe I will need more Bucks, then.'

Kolem says 'I don't know this Pub guy, but, uh, I'm sure he's different.'

Kolem says 'Don't worry about the others.'

Kolem says 'That's his name, right? Pub?'

You say 'He did not tell me His Name.'

You say 'He came, He bought a Round, and He left'

Kolem hums to himself, glancing at Dusk.

You hear something's death cry.

Kolem says 'I.. see...'

Kolem leans in close to Dusk, and mutters something into their ear.

Imbibobot looks curious.

Kolem says '...what's your name, fella?'

Kolem looks at the robot.

You say 'Drinkman!'

Dusk says 'As a Scholar, I must research every possibility of higher existances. I would be interested in meeting your God, if he is in an earthly form as described here.'

You nod.

A seasoned crab drinks nectar from rabite springs.

You say 'I would like to meet Him again, too.'

You say 'Perhaps we should put on a search.'

Kolem says 'Have you tried a posting?'

You shake your head.

Kolem says 'You might want to put up a note at the pub.'

Kolem says 'Maybe a description, or something like that... a picture...'

You say 'That is a good idea.'

Kolem says '...offer a free drink?'

Imbibobot points at the drawing in the dust.

You say 'And we already have one of those.'

A seasoned crab says 'Did somebody say 'free drink'?'
