Elouisa: Dialogue: Gifting

After First Gift

At the Player's Housing Plot

Elouisa
I have found you, my paranormal pal! Initially I had feared Creepees had absconded with you, given how quickly you left our last conversation.
After you gave me that wonderful gift, I just knew I had to give you something in return. So I went home and got this aquamarine wallpaper that Caleri bought.
She gave it to me because Aquamarine is our shared Starstone...but, uh, don't tell her, but I just don't subscribe to any of that astrology nonsense.
Though I do think this shade would look lovely with your Fish collection.

+ Sea Aquamarine Stucco Wall

Starstone

Given Aquamarine

Elouisa
This is an aquamarine!
While I don't subscribe to that starstone astrology nonsense, aquamarines are still VERY useful!
Inserted into glasses, these stones can allow one to see the FOURTH realm, a place made entirely of maple syrup!
I will use this gift wisely, (Player)!

Requests

Requesting Ancient Amber Beetle

Elouisa
If you see an Ancient Amber Beetle, let me know. I have been searching for one.
I would very much like to question one!

Requesting Bahari Bee

Elouisa
If you see a Bahari Bee, let me know. I have been searching for one.
I have a theory that the bees we know today were replaced by mechanical ones in the VERY recent past!

Requesting Beluga Sturgeon

Elouisa
If you see a Beluga Sturgeon, let me know. I have been searching for one.
I'm quite suspicious of this so-called "caviar" they make!

Requesting Blobfish

Elouisa
You know...I have been looking for some new blobfish for my pond.
I feel so sorry for those poor souls trapped under all that muck.
...between you and me, the cave water used to be clear as a mirror.
Caleri thinks the change is due to the introduction of a new algae species.
But I think...The Order is using that place as a magical waste dump!

Requesting Bluebristle Muujin Mane

Elouisa
If you get your hands on a Bluebristle Muujin Mane, please let me know!
There must be some secrets hidden within- why else would it be so large?

Requesting Cantankerous Koi

Elouisa
Have you heard the legend of the cantankerous koi?
Word on the street is that way back in the Human age, an evil witch transformed all the old men of the village into fish.
They still inhabit Emerald Lake to this day in the form of a very grumpy looking koi.
I mean to collect all the koi and transform them back into Human men.

I have never seen a flame that comes from one's tongue, but the ability sounds quite fascinating.
And suspicious!

Requesting Giant Goldfish, Scarlet Koi

Elouisa
You know...I have been looking for some new (giant goldfish / scarlet koi) for my pond.
I feel so sorry for those poor souls trapped under all that muck in Emerald Lake.
...between you and me, that lake used to be clear as a mirror.
Caleri thinks the change is due to the introduction of a new algae species.
But I think...The Order is using that place as a magical waste dump!

I believe they have been specifically engineered to destroy the local raspberry population!

If you could confirm my suspicions by bringing me fragments of one of the ill-fated crafts, it would help my research.

Requests For Other Villagers

• For Caleri:

Requesting Blueberry Jam, Bouillabaisse, Cream of Tomato Soup, Grilled Mushroom

Elouisa
My sister, Caleri, may have you believing she cares for nothing besides intellectual pursuits.
But that is only because you haven't seen her wolf down (a whole jar of blueberry jam / bouillabaisse / a bowl of tomato soup / a plate of Grilled Mushrooms)!
She likes comfort food just like the rest of us.

Requesting Coral, Shell

Elouisa
When Caleri and I were little, our favorite thing to do was to go to the beach.
In fact, I have it on good authority she still has a collection of (coral / shells) we found hidden behind her desk.

There has to be some reason WHY this was here!
