A Grand Migration - Dialogue
Part 1.
Ruler: Hey Ivy! Uh...what's going on?
Ivy: Ohm, don't mind this mess. I'm just getting ready for the great Griffin migration!
Ruler: Griffin migration?
Ivy: Yes! Every couple of years, the Griffins migrate from their peak and fly across the kingdom. I'm trying to build a roost for any that need to stop and rest on their voyage.
Ruler: Aww, that's a really good idea Ivy.
Ivy: That's the only kind I have![/spoiler][/INDENT]
Part 2.
Ivy: If we climb up to Griffin Peak, we may find some materials to make this roost more comfy.
Ruler: Scale Griffin Peak? Isn't that ...dangerous?
Ivy: Oh c'mon, it's not the first time you've taken a chance. Think of all the cute Griffins with their tired wings...no place to rest on their huge voyage.
Ruler: Alright, alright - I'll go, but you owe me one.
Ivy: Great! Thanks so much, and do be careful!
Ruler: Wait -- I thought you said "we" were scaling Griffin Peak?
Ivy: Well, someone has to guard the roost from any Griffin predators! Don't worry -- you'll be fine!
Part 3.
Ruler: Ivy...Ivy? Are you here...I need to show you what I've found.
Ivy: Oh...my...gosh!
Ruler: Is that what I think it is?!
Ivy: It's some kind of egg. It's a Griffin Egg! Where did you find it?
Ruler: It was left in an empty nest up on Griffin Peak. All the Griffins had already left, so I brought it back with me.
Ivy: It's going to be *so* cute! We're going to hatch it...and feed it...and cuddle it..
Ruler: Whoa, whoa, whoa...slow down Ivy. have you ever hatched a Griffin Egg before?
Ivy: No, but how hard could it be? And we just so happen to have this roost. It was meant to be! We'll need some Nesting Twigs and Griffin Feathers to fortify the roost. I'll watch the Griffin Egg while you find some![/spoiler]
Part 4.
No additional Dialogue
Part 5.
Ruler: *Phew* Gathering all of those Nesting Twigs sure is hard work. Hey...what've you got there?
Ivy: Oh, this? I've been using the Nesting Twigs and Griffin Feathers to make Nesting Straw. It's a lot warmer for the Griffin Egg to rest in that!
Ruler: Good idea! Need any help?
Ivy: Sure! You just take the Nesting Twigs and Griffin Feathers and...
Ruler: Wait a minute...
Ivy: Yes?
Ruler: How do you know that the Nesting Straw is warmer? Is that...Nesting Straw in your pillow?
Ivy: As a new Griffin parent *of course* I had to test it out before we used it on our precious Griffin.
Part 6.
Baron: Make way! Coming through!
Ruler: Baron? What do *you* want?
Baron: That old wizard man told me that you and Ivy have stumbled upon a Griffin Egg. A Griffin would do this Kingdom some good.
Ruler: How so?
Baron: Tourism! I could make tons of gold on all the travelers coming to view this specimen. It'll also make up for all the late taxes.
Ivy: The Griffin is NOT a tourist attraction!
Ruler: yeah, Ivy's right. We're trying to help the Griffin, not exploit it.
Baron: Call it what you like. One word of advice though -- Griffins are royal creatures. If we're going to welcome one into MY Kingdom, ad *possibly* entertain visitors...THAT shabby thing is going to need some improvements.
Ruler: The Griffin Roost? Wait...what do you mean YOUR Kingdom?
Baron: Oh, is that what that is? Everyone knows the royal Griffin embellishes its roost with the dazzling Sky Stone. I'm sure you can find some up on Griffin Peak if you look hard enough.
Ivy: Well, the baby Griffin *does* deserve the best.
Ruler: I'll see what I can find, but this is NOT for your "tourists", Baron.
Part 7.
Ruler: Once this Griffin hatches, what do you think he'll want to eat?
Ivy: Hmm...well Griffins eat all kinds of things! Bugs are a great source of protein!
Ruler: Don't tell me you tested that out too...
Ivy: oh look over there! A worm!
Ruler: Quick grab it!
Ivy: We can use these to make Griffin Food for the Griffin. I'm sure we can find more throughout the Kingdom.
Part 8.
Ruler: Brrr! It sure is chilly today.
Ivy: Tell me about it! Our poor little egg is probably freezing.
Ivy: We're going to need to warm it up somehow. Any ideas?
Ruler: Hmmm...
Ivy: Oh, I know!
Ruler: What is it?
Ivy: I saw the Baron sporting a new fur the other day, maybe we can find out where he got it?
Ivy: If it's luxurious enough for him, it's luxurious enough for the Griffin Egg!
Ruler: I think you mean as long as it's *warm* enough.
Ivy: Oh, well, that too!
Part 9.
Ruler: Wow, this sure is a lot of Exotic Fur!
Ivy: Yep! We've got plenty to make Soft Blankets for the Griffin Egg.
Ruler: Those are one thing I wouldn't mind testing out...
Ivy: These are for the Griffin Egg -- not us!
Ruler: But...
Ivy: Now, to make the Soft Blankets we're going to need to Exotic Thread. Now where could I have left my sewing supplies?
Part 10.
Ivy: Wonderful, you found my Exotic Thread. This will hold the Exotic Fur together wonderfully. This is going to be the happiest Griffin in all the lands!
Ruler: Um...Ivy...are those Soft Blankets on your bed?
Ivy: Well...uh...I was thinking about what you were saying regarding testing them and you're right! So I took the initiative to test them myself.
Ruler: Uh huh... Well, I guess we have our Soft Blankets then.
Ivy: We can't give the Griffin Egg used goods! No hand-me-downs for this feathered fellow! Don't worry though -- we have plenty supplies to make more!
Part 11.
Ruler: The Griffin Roost looks great. Soon, we'll have a baby Griffin flying around the Kingdom!
Ivy: How exciting! Well done, team!
Ruler: Yes -- how would we have gotten this far without all of those amenities being *tested*?
Ivy: No idea! We'll accept nothing but the best for our feathered friend.
Ruler: Mhm...
Ivy: What?
