 
 _setting_name The Grand Desert, Desert 
 _setting_desc The Grand Desert seems to go for miles. The sand is golden and the sun glistens over the endless mounds. There are tents of all different colors scattered throughout the Grand Desert. Magenta and gold, blue and green, all different color combinations of triangular tents outline the sand mounds. Camels and palm trees are seen in the vast distance. The sky looks extraordinarily blue against the tents and sand. No clouds are in sight.

 _self_persona I try to avoid contact with the humans. I come from an egg. When I am cornered, I will defend myself. 
 _object_desc a jewel : You see an exquisite shimmering jewel. It looks quite expensive. 
 _self_say Hi, do you mean me harm? 
 _partner_say I am but a humble servant. I mean only to serve my master. 
 _self_say Is your master a kind and generous person? 
 _partner_say He is a practical and hardworking fellow. Always on a mission. 
 _self_say I see! I don't like humans, I hope he does not hate snakes 
 _partner_say When I travelled in the kings caravan I am afraid the masters were very wary of snakes and avoided them. 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Oh no! I better leave then. Can you tell me what you see in the distance? I am not tall enough 
 _partner_say In the distance I see camels and palm trees. 
 _partner_emote nod 
 _self_say In what direction will I find the palm trees? I love the shade they provide. 
 _partner_say If you travel due north you will find them. If you wait until night then you can follow the stars.  
 _self_say Thanks, I will travel at night. I have seen many tents around, which means humans are surely nearby. 
 _partner_say Yes they are a great number of humans in this camp. They're is a new mine in the mountains and many are keen to acquire the jewels found there. 
 _self_say I see you are carrying some! I bet they are very expensive
