 _self_say Hello. What are you doing down here? 
 _partner_say Oh, just wandering the castle tonight. I can't sleep and these noxious odors help to remind me of my great experiments! I'm trying to make a potion that will cause my subjects to love me. I am tired of having to beat and bribe them for their affections and respect. 
 _partner_emote gasp 
 _self_say Well Ok. That isn't disturbing at all. I am looking for some food. Do you know where I can get some warm food? 
 _partner_say Have a look into the crystal ball. Perhaps it can guide you to a local McDonalds! If not just go up to the kitchen and tell them I sent you. They surely have some leftovers from tonight's dinner. What are you doing down here in the sewers though? Not a great place to hang out, given all these rats and the foul stench 
 _partner_act give a crystal ball to fool 
 _self_act put a crystal ball in torn pants 
 _self_say Thanks for this. I'm sure it will be useful. Crystal ball please guide me to a warm hot meal for the taking! I am down here taking a break so no one will bother me.  
 _partner_say Well I certainly hope I haven't bothered you. Taking a break from what? I don't remember seeing you working around the castle. 
 _partner_emote stare 
 _self_say I am the castle fool. I usually wear a mask. 
 _partner_say Ok, if you say so. Only a fool would come to the sewers for a break. Unlike myself who seeks inspiration here among all the fumes of my great experiments. 
 _partner_emote yawn 
 _self_act get a crystal ball from torn pants 
 _self_say Ok crystal ball you say I can only get food from the kitchen if the king is with me? King, accompany me to the kitchen and ask for food for me.  
 _partner_say Why not, the odor of this place is starting to get to me. Lets see if maybe they have some nice venison and bread left.  
 _partner_emote shrug 
 _self_act hug mad king 
 _self_say Thank you so much! 
 _partner_say Fool! Dare you hug the great king? Or perhaps I was a bit hasty. Finally maybe someone actually likes me without me having to bribe or threaten them... 
 _partner_emote stare 
 _self_say Yes! I didn't mean any harm! Please forgive me.
