Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Vyell: I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but might I ask a small favor? I just saw the gleaner I'd hired for a job, and he seemed awfully...well, “jittery,” I suppose is the word.
Vyell: And when I tried to ask him what the matter was, he met my eyes for a moment then bolted out of the room...
Vyell: I should like to catalog the items he was meant to bring and get them safely stored, but I refuse to play this ridiculous game of coeurl and mouse.
Vyell: Would you mind tracking him down for me? The last I saw of him, he was dashing off towards Passemerrant Pasturponics.
(Optional)
Vyell: Most curious behavior for a gleaner. I do hope he's not unwell...

Speak with the jittery gleaner

(Optional)
System: This large pot is clearly of Far Eastern origin.

Jittery Gleaner: Gah! Gods and scholars, don't sneak up on me like that! Can I help you...?
Jittery Gleaner: Ah, my employer sent you, did he? Well, he'll be pleased to know that I was able to purchase all his requested Far Eastern items of cultural significance.
Jittery Gleaner: That pot there was one of them, but I was leery of simply handing it over. I think...I think there's something alive inside...

Voice from the Pot: You tell me where this is, yes, yes?

Jittery Gleaner: There! You heard that, didn't you!? I knew it wasn't my imagination!
Jittery Gleaner: You seem a well-traveled sort─what sort of creature might we be dealing with here?

< What will you say? > 
< It's a Namazu. Trust me. >
< The sort you shouldn't keep trapped in pots. >
< One which will feed the whole family! >

< It's a Namazu. Trust me. >
Voice from the Pot: Oho, you know your Namazu, yes, yes! I crawled into this comfy looking pot for a nice nap, and before I knew it, I was whisked away on an adventure!

< The sort you shouldn't keep trapped in pots. >
Voice from the Pot: Wait! Before you spill me out, would you mind pouring in a generous splash of water? I couldn't bear for anyone to see me so dried out, no, no!

< One which will feed the whole family! >
Voice from the Pot: Oho, very funny. You are one of those who like to make jests in a serious tone of voice. It... was a jest, yes, yes?

< Both >
Voice from the Pot: Well, now that I'm here, I might as well make the most of my misfortune! See the sights, try the food, that sort of thing... Convey my pot to the nearest inn, if you please!

Jittery Gleaner: Seeing as our, uh, “guest” is so eager to stay, the least I can do is sponsor his visit and help fill out the paperwork. Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could explain the situation to my employer.

Optional Dialogue

Voice from the Pot: When I closed my eyes, I did not expect to wake up in a different country, no, no!

Jittery Gleaner: This may be the oddest thing that has ever happened to me...but please be assured that I will take good care of our unwitting traveler.

Report to Vyell

Vyell: Did you catch up with the gleaner? What did he have to say for himself?
Vyell: ...Are you telling me that Namazu are real!? By the Scholar, I thought the stories of such beings were just that─stories.
Vyell: And now we have the chance to speak with one in the flesh! We really must house this visitor here in the Archeion, and record the conversations for posterity!
Vyell: ...Hm? Oh, yes, here, you've been very helpful. Now, if you don't mind, I have preparations to make!

(Optional)
Vyell: The vaults here house almost any specimen or sample that one might imagine, yet there still exists much in this world that remains unfamiliar. Uncatalogued. Thus does our vital work continue unabated...
