 	 	 	Oh, I agree. 	Playful
 	 	 	The offer's always open. 	Enticing
 	 	 	You have only ever seen me in the distance. Never up close. Look in any direction, and I will be there. What am I? 	Asking a riddle
 	 	 	Yes, the horizon! Forever in the distance. No matter how far you walk, you will never reach it. 	Happy
 	 	 	That which is taller and older gives this gift in exchange... what is the "gift"? 	Asking a riddle
 	 	 	I make you beautiful, I make you sly. What am I? 	Asking a riddle
 	 	 	The more of me there is, the longer I'll stay. What am I? 	Asking a riddle.
 	 	 	Correct yet again! We give carbon dioxide, and in return receive oxygen. Trees are taller and older, are they not? 	
 	 	 	You got it! Pick a lock, or use it to style your hair. It's the perfect multipurpose tool for getting exactly what you want. 	
 	 	 	That's right! The more radiation there is, the longer the half-life. Guess we've got a long ways to go around here, huh? 	
 	 	 	Ah, I believe in your language it is simply Italy. I was born there. I remember very little of it. 	A slight sadness
 	 	 	There's still a connection. I think there's something that binds you to where your ancestors are from. 	Genuine
 	 	 	It may not make sense if you've been raised in the place your family has always had roots in. 	
 	 	 	Ah, don't mind me. I'm just rambling at this point. 	A tinge of embarrassment, moving on
 	 	 	What makes it worse is knowing I can never go back. That, and not knowing what Italy's fate was after the bombs. Who knows what it looks like now? 	Sadness, longing
 	 	 	Do come back. 	A little sly
 	 	 	Let's just say I'm looking for some things I've lost that may be found again. I don't know if I can find them definitively, but it is worth the risk.	Keeping at arm's length
 	 	 	I have books upon books of riddles. They keep a man entertained. Besides, it's a good conversation starter. 	Friendly
 	 	 	Fame and fortune. Or maybe just fortune. Perhaps neither. It's easier to earn money than to search for what you're really looking for. 	playful but mysterious, ending on a blunt note
 	 	 	Yes, we are friends. You're probably the most reliable person I know of. I suppose it is only fair. Well, you see, my mother died back in New York. 	Bringing down the defenses
 	 	 	She was all I had. And now...now I'm back in Appalachia looking for any family I might have. 	Hurt but determined
 	 	 	My family immigrated to Clarksburg from Italia before the war. So I might just have some surviving relatives here. If I'm lucky, that is. 	Hopeful
 	 	 	Of course, this all stays between us, capiche? I don't need every single soul and their mother in the Whitespring knowing my business. 	Drying the tears, returning to normal playfulness. Pronounced "capeesh"
 	 	 	You walk past and see a sparkle at the edge of your vision. Maybe it's a dusty mirror, or a long-forgotten urn. A decades-old music box. 	Painting a picture for the imagination
 	 	 	That's a curio. 	With importance
 	 	 	I've called many places home. Clarksburg, New York. Now Appalachia again. But none ring truer in my heart than the homeland. 	Nostalgia
 	 	 	Italia! 	With love
 	 	 	Buy, sell, trade, and count. I'm a collector of oddities and eccentricities. And I sell those eccentricities. For the right price. 	Pride
 	 	 	Perhaps I might have something to your liking. 	Enticing
 	 	 	Nice try, but that's incorrect. Take a night to think it over, and I'm sure you'll get it tomorrow! 	Poor you
 	 	 	Apologies, my friend. You've exhausted all of my best ones! 	A bit impressed
 	 	 	Wonderful! Here it is. 	Excited
 	 	 	You sure can. 	Excited
 	 	 	Skippy should live by his name and "skip" on down to my store. 	A thought to self
 	 	 	Ellison's a good kid, but that Brotherhood gig of his isn't going to make him any money. 	A thought to self. The Brotherhood are soldiers-- Giuseppe doesn't understand the appeal
 	 	 	Discount? Not in this damn bottle cap economy. 	As if reflecting on a previous conversation, to self
 	 	 	Haven't been sleeping well lately. Maybe I should try counting sheep instead of stamps. 	To self
 	 	 	Curios and curiosities! Uh, do they mean the same thing? 	Carnival barker, then an aside to self
 	 	 	I bet Rucker could use a trinket to cheer her up! Poor girl always looks exhausted. 	To self
 	 	 	There are far worse places to set up shop than the Whitespring. Far worse. 	To self. Definitely remembering a bad time.
 	 	 	My curios are not junk. I'd like to think of them as refined junk. 	Pride. Emphasis on refined
 	 	 	That riddle is driving me insane. 	Self. a bit annoyed
 	 	 	Sometimes these days get so long I forget why I came here in the first place. 	Exhausted, longing for more
 	 	 	I could really use a day off. But this shop won't run itself. 	Tired, but trying to renew self
 	 	 	There must be some pre-war books lying around the Whitespring, ripe for the taking! 	Money in his eyes
 	 	 	You look like you could lose some weight... from your pockets! 	Playful
 	 	 	An abundance of trinkets for sale, available for your perusal! Well, maybe not an abundance. 	Enticing a nearby customer. Emphasis on second abundance
 	 	 	You don't look so good, friend... May I interest you in my all-encompassing miracle cure? 	Seeming genuine concern turning into a sales pitch
 	 	 	Try not to track all of that dirt into my shop. I already near broke my back trying to wash up the fallout. 	Friendly if a little snooty
 	 	 	Have you ever read a book so much its pages faded? I think I'll go crazy when I lose the answers to my riddle book. 	Slight worry
 	 	 	Need any help carrying all those stamps? 	Greedy for caps
 	 	 	Oh, you think I'm a good salesman? You should've met my mother. That woman could get you to sell the shirt off your back! 	Fond remembering, humorous
 	 	 	The world runs on caps. You'd do well to remember that. 	Friendly advice
 	 	 	Do you read much? It's about all that keeps me sane these days. 	Perhaps not actually caring about the answer-- more interested in expressing his own story
 	 	 	Ever been to Clarksburg? Why would you ever need to go when you've got everything you need at Giuseppe's Curios? 	
 	 	 	Here's an easy riddle for you: I am all around you, but you cannot see me. You know me, but have never met me. What am I? 	Playful, mysterious
 	 	 	You're very... jumpy, aren't you? Perhaps it's nerves. 	Maybe a little judgy
 	 	 	I made quite the profitable trade yesterday. Good things come to those who wait. Or those who survive a nuclear apocalypse. 	Proud, cheeky at the end
 	 	 	If you happen to see Giuseppe, tell them that no matter how much they call me "darling" they still owe me fifty stamps for the gold watch. 	A bit playful, but not joking
 	 	 	Salutations, my friend! Have you come to buy today? 	Friendly
 	 	 	Ah, my loyal customer! Returning once again with the desire to shop, I hope? 	Warm
 	 	 	I see you're up bright and early! I bet you needed to get some morning shopping done. 	Warm
 	 	 	It's a fine day, isn't it? And you're spending it inside of my shop. A little strange, but I'm not complaining! 	Friendly
 	 	 	Your lack of stamps brings pity to my Italian heart. Here, take this. It should get you started. 	Slightly condescending, but friendly
 	 	 	Consider it a customer loyalty program. When you have more money in your wallet, you know where to spend it, yeah? 	Money in the eyes
 	 	 	See anything you like? You might just be able to fill that emotional void in your heart with one of my wares! 	Playful
 	 	 	There are not many people I trust in Appalachia, but the Whitespring is a safe place. 	Peaceful
 	 	 	Those robots running the shops in the Whitespring? I wouldn't trust them. A bunch of racketeers, all of them! 	Distrustful of robots, but confiding in the player. Humorous tone
 	 	 	Ah, a customer! Here to peruse or buy? 	Excitement
 	 	 	Either way, prepare your eyes for a feast of the senses! A spectacle like no other! 	Drumming up anticipation
 	 	 	Oh, I got a bit carried away, didn't I? Forgot to properly introduce myself. 	A tinge of embarrassment
 	 	 	Giuseppe Della Ripa, at your service. Tradesman and curio collector. Welcome to Giuseppe's Curios. 	Dramatic but welcoming
 	 	 	I see we meet once again. Welcome to Giuseppe's Curios! 	Excitement
 	 	 	If you're someone who has called many places home such as myself, stamps become sentimental. 	Charming.
 	 	 	They remind you of places that have been and places that could be. As such, I collect them. 	Still quite charming.
 	 	 	If you don't want them, I'll gladly take them. I'll trade you for it. 	Trying to make it sound like a good deal.
 	 	 	Of course. 	Friendly and happy that the player asked.
 	 	 	Stamps you say? This conversation just got a lot more interesting, my friend. 	Interested for personal gain.
