Increase your Hearts The Determined Doctor has read widely. |
A distracted lesson "Eyes! What I could tell you about eyes!" As the subject bounces from that to politics, to the intricacies of sunlight, to the complex breeding cycle of sorrow-spiders, it becomes impossible to keep up. Still, he is a man who intimately knows all of his subjects. You definitely leave feeling that you have learned something important, if perhaps not exactly what. |
||
Dine with the Determined Doctor He will bring the wine, he tells you. Do you happen to have any more of that delightful zee-trout? No matter! |
Your sorbet slowly melts, untouched "...and no, they are not restless elements!" He slams his hands down on the table. "Do you not see, Addressed as! Every year, the Bazaar... she devours us! From within! The rich dream honey-dreams, while the poor shovel lacre with their bare hands in the streets - just to earn a few Echoes to buy food... and above it all the Masters and the - " He never does get around to answering your actual question, of whether he enjoyed his main course. |
||
Check on the Determined Doctor He has not caused any more trouble, but remains a cause for concern. |
A man distracted The crew grumbles. A word must be had. |
||
A Long Talk: Cold Reality His problem is that he lives in a fantasy world. A glimpse of life's complexity might show him his folly. |
|
A realist is born... He looks up. Pushes away the offered intelligence... which of course still has to be burned, as protocol demands. Something in his eye has gone, possibly forever. "You are right, of course. I will return to my duties. There at least I can still hope to serve." "Here. They gave me this in the Shadow. It is not fitting that I keep it. May you use it better than I would.\"
|
|
A Long Talk: Inner Emptiness His problem is caring too much. In the blackest reaches of the zee, he will learn that such frivolities as hope and purpose are just night-lights for the naive. |
|
A nihilist is born... He looks up. Something in his eye has gone, possibly forever. "You are right, of course. I will return to my duties. There at least I can still hope to serve." "Here. They gave me this in the Shadow. It is not fitting that I keep it. May you use it better than I would."
|
|
A Long Talk: For London! His problem is that he keeps choosing unworthy causes. Perhaps he can be pushed to a worthy one for once. |
|
A patriot is born... He looks up. Something in his eye has gone, possibly forever. "You are right, of course. Perhaps I shall put about inquiries the next time we are in port. For now though, I will return to my duties. There at least I know that I can serve with a measure of honour." "Here. They gave me this in the Shadow. It is not fitting that I keep it. May you use it better than I would."

Enough! His services are no longer required He leaves the ship at the next suitable port. |
