Dialog
Maru: One of our new recruits has been takin' his sweet time with his delivery...
Maru: He ain't irresponsible, just...not the best conversationalist. You think you could check in on him an' make sure he's alright?
Maru: He's probably loiterin' nervously around the Great Work somewhere. Give him a nudge in the right direction if he ain't makin' progress.
Frightened Alchemist:
(Optional) Frightened Alchemist: B-By the Sisters! This man just snuck up on me and started shouting! What does he want? I'm terrified to ask!
Nervous Rider: Er! Erm!...Aaah!
Frightened Alchemist: S-Stop shouting at me! Just tell me what you want and leave me be!
Nervous Rider: N-No, I didn't mean--! Th-The boss always says to s-speak up, so I just--! Er!
What will you say?
- You: Pause. Now take a deep breath.
- Nervous Rider: D-Deep breaths? O-Okay...That...Oh, that feels better...Whooo...
- Nervous Rider: I think I can take it from here, <gender title>! Thanks for your help -- an' tell Maru that I'll be back soon!
- You: You must speak confidently, man! From your diaphragm!
- Nervous Rider: Y-You got it!
- System: After several uncomfortable moments, it becomes clear that this method isn't working. Try advising him again.
- You: Eye contact is key. Steady, unblinking eye contact.
- Nervous Rider: Y-You got it!
- System: After several uncomfortable moments, it becomes clear that this method isn't working. Try advising him again.
(Optional) Wary Alchemist: This man has been standing here, squirming in silence for some time. Is he in distress?
Nervous Rider: Er...Errrrrr...
Wary Alchemist: He appears to be in deep thought, but I'm not certain why he wishes I bear witness to it...
Nervous Rider: I-I knew what I was gonna say...But now I can't remember nothin'...Er...
What will you say?
- Remember, man! Remember with sheer willpower!
- Nervous Rider: Y-You got it!
- System: After several uncomfortable moments, it becomes clear that this method isn't working. Try advising him again.
- Have you a written list of your objectives?
- Nervous Rider: Oh, th-that's right! I wrote it down, didn't I? 'Cause I knew somethin' like this might happen! Ha! I got so nervou, I even forgot that I remembered that I'd forget!
- Thanks, <gender pronoun> -- I think I'll be alright! Tell Maru that I'll be back soon.
- Just start talking until you figure it out.
- Nervous Rider: Y-You got it!
- System: After several uncomfortable moments, it becomes clear that this method isn't working. Try advising him again.
Maru: So that's what he was up to...Thanks for steerin' him true.
Maru: His nerves can really get the better of him, but he's been downright stubborn about helpin' out with deliveries.
Maru: We'll keep him runnin' errands closer to home, but I hope you won't be averse to helpin' him out again, should he need it. I know it'd mean the world to him...
