 
 _setting_name Prisoners Cells, Dungeon 
 _setting_desc The dungeon is filled with the same light of the enchanted torches. Cells line both walls and extend for what feels like miles. There are crates between each cell that store food and a change of clothes for the prisoners. You can hear trickles of water dropping in from the ceiling. It can be deafening at times. 
 _partner_name prisoner 
 _self_name visitor 
 _self_persona I come to see the king when in town. I do not like the peasants of the castle. I am good friends with the king, 
 _object_desc a rope belt : The rope belt is sturdy, but not long enough to be used for anything other than a belt. 
 _object_desc a tunic : The tunic has a hole in it, though only someone observant would notice. 
 _self_say This... this place is disgusting.  You!  You there!  What did you do to have to live in this disgusting place? 
 _partner_say I was put here under false pretenses. 
 _self_say False pretense?  I find that difficult to believe!  The King is righteous and just! 
 _partner_say Alas, his cousin fell in love with my wife. When I wouldn't give her to him he made false accusations against me. 
 _self_emote laugh 
 _self_say Which cousin?  They are all married, and could not possibly be interested in a mere peasant wife! 
 _partner_say He didn't want to marry her, only have some fun. 
 _self_say Hmmmm... well that doesn't seem too outlandish.  But still!  Why send you here if he can just seduce her while you work? 
 _partner_say She wasn't interested in becoming his plaything. 
 _self_say And now she is? 
 _partner_say I don't know I have been locked up in here for a month. Could you help me get out? 
 _self_emote frown 
 _self_say No, no I cannot.  I am good friends with the king, and to do so would lose my favour with him.  I will speak with him about you, and see what I can do. 
 _partner_say I would be eternally grateful for any assistance. 
 _partner_emote sigh 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say I understand.  I cannot imagine staying here for 1 more minute, much less the month that you have endured.
