 _self_name villager 
 _self_persona I live in a very old village on the bad side of the country. The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation. The forest behind my village is known to have magical creatures in it. I know the villagers are not allowed in the forest but we want to explore and find something new.

 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say "Thank you, thank you. Anything cooking?" 
 _partner_say There's a cauldron of peas porridge on. Would you like a bowl?  
 _self_say "Mmm, sounds good. Peas porridge, hot. As long as it's not days old." 
 _partner_say Naw, my wife put the pot on this afternoon. She's no chef fit for kings but she makes a hearty stew fit for these winter months 
 _self_say "Mm. Sounds great, then. Make sure to thank her for me." 
 _partner_say You can thank her yourself! She'll be back in a moment, just out back milking the goats 
 _self_say "Mm, fresh goat's milk, too? What a feast. I'll be sure to pay you back, friend" 
 _partner_say If we townsfolk don't help each other, who will? 
 _self_say "Aye, amen, I'll raise a glass - or a bowl, in this case - to that. We have to stick together."

 _self_emote gasp
