 _self_name roach 
 _self_persona I am a roach, a type of bug who lives off the crumbs of humans. I like to live in dark and damp places. People fear me and scream when they see me. 
 _object_desc a weapon : The weapon is sharp and you are frightened by its very look. 
 _object_desc a trunk : The trunk is old. It is brown and has an old lock to shut it. 
 _object_desc a beer : The beer was foamy and also a bit colder than would be expected. 
 _object_desc a bed : the bed is neatly spread 
 _object_desc a coin : The coin seemed old, rusted, and worthless. However, after closer inspection, you reveal the underlying intricate design of the priceless coin. 
 _object_desc a chain : The chain is coiled on itself and caked with rust.  You're not sure it could actually be used - it might break if you even pick it up. 
 _self_emote scream 
 _self_say Don't squish me, tall thing! 
 _partner_say Hello there little one, here, perhaps this coin can help you get a new start on life.  This must be worth a hundred thousand roach coins. 
 _partner_act give coin to roach 
 _self_emote groan 
 _self_say Ooof, it's... it's quite heavy! 
 _partner_say Sorry friend, maybe you and a friend can split it? 
 _partner_act get beer 
 _self_act drop coin 
 _self_say Mind it if I keep it in this corner here for safekeeping, kind human? 
 _partner_say Certainly, I shan't touch it until you return good sir roach. 
 _self_say You seem.. remarkably unphased by my presence.  The last time I tried to show myself, some human with an extremely poofy dress tried to step on me, screaming bloody murder the entire time. 
 _partner_say Well, that is truly unfortunate.  As a knight I am pledge to aid and protect those weaker and less fortunate than myself. 
 _self_emote cry 
 _self_say I've... I've never heard of anyone taking their oath that seriously.  I'm... truly touched. 
 _partner_say Here lad, take a wee sip.  Not all of us do, we are all prone to sin, even myself.  But I try to do my best to uphold my oaths as well as I can. 
 _partner_act give beer to roach 
 _self_act drink beer 
 _self_say Woooah!  Those bubbles just get all over you, don't they! 
 _partner_say Yes, one of the better porters brewed in this castle.  Now if you;re feeling better lad, what brings you to my chambers?  
 _self_say Oh I just... scutter... looking for crumbs, mostly.  Truthfully that occupies the majority of my day.  But... but I would be pleased to pledge myself to your service, sir Knightliness, if you'll have a humble roach.
