Cameron Conner

## Voice Actor

Messenger Cameron Connor (34) is the leader of the League of the Conscious Mind. He's charming, attractive, and... are people like this even allowed to be Messengers?

He believes every community needs a place to gather but doesn't seem to approve of Damon's Bar being an appropriate place to do that. However, he has a bit of a sweet tooth and enjoys Seton's Bakery.

## Life Before Fairhaven

Before moving to Fairhaven, Cameron was an actor in Hollywood whose show got cancelled. He has implied he did hard drugs and partied while there, basically living a life at odds with the way he encourages his congregation to behave. He earnestly believes that the League of the Conscious Mind has changed him for the better, and he worries that he can't live up to the expectations of both the Fairhaven league members and his superiors.

## Relationship Cutscenes

**New Acquaintances** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: After gaining 1 full heart, visit Cameron on a Saturday morning inside the League of the Conscious Mind.
Dialogue:

Cameron: Welcome! I’m glad you stopped in. Your choice to move here signals a longing for a fresh start, am I right?

Tara: I guess…

Cameron: Our Consciousness Center is a great place to start your new journey. Listen, I can relate. I came here looking for a new beginning myself.

--[Choice: Tell me about you]

--[Choice: I’m open to new ideas]

-Tara: I did come here to try a different way of life. I’m open to new ideas.

-Cameron: Wonderful, so glad to hear it! I think you’ve come here at just the right moment.

--[Choice: I’m starting over]

Cameron: I was living the Hollywood lifestyle, partying all night. One morning I woke up on the sidewalk, right in front of the League’s founding chapter. I can’t explain what made me go inside that morning, but I’m so glad I did! Sometimes the universe nudges us on the path that we’re meant to go, and other times fate is more direct. After I learned more about the teachings of the League of the Conscious Mind, I knew my life would never be the same. I really hope to see you here again.

**Casual Friend** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: After gaining 2 full hearts, visit Cameron at the Town Center in the morning.
Dialogue:

Tara: Hi Cameron! What are you reading?

Cameron: Oh, the Book of the Mind, of course. I just love to sit in this spot. It’s so quaint, it looks more like a movie set than the real movie sets from my childhood. Not that I miss Los Angeles. It’s beautiful, but the people here in Fairhaven… they feel more “real.”

--[Choice: You seem real to me]

-Tara: Hey, you may be from Hollywood, but you feel pretty “real” to me.

-Cameron: Well, thank you, that’s very flattering. I try to make authentic connections with people.

--[Choice: What does “real” mean?]

-Tara: I don't really know what it means to be "real." I like the people I've met in Fairhaven so far, though!

-Cameron: You're right, all I meant was when I was in LA, I felt like there was a big focus on superficial accomplishments.

-Cameron: It's nice to get away from that, is all.

--[Choice: People here are guarded]

Cameron: I didn’t mean to imply judgment of people in LA, or here, or anywhere. People have to walk their own path, wherever they are. All I meant was that out there, I felt like I was all on my own in my search for life’s true purpose. It’s better to have company on one’s journey, don’t you think?

**Good Friend** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: After gaining 3 full hearts, visit Cameron inside Natalia's shop.
Dialogue:

Cameron: So do you really think you’ll be able to get these medals done in time for the ‘leveling up’ ceremony, Natalia?

Natalia: You bet! ‘Course, houses of worship usually play host to other types of ceremonies, if you know what I mean! Perhaps as messenger, you ought to set an example and go first!

Cameron: Erm… uh… I’m too committed to the work I’m going with our members to focus on my own personal life, Natalia.

--[Choice: Don’t be a martyr]

-Tara: Cameron, the League doesn't have martyrs, so why make one out of yourself? You deserve to find someone and be happy too.

-Natalia: She's right! A happy shepherd would only be an inspiration to his flock, after all!

--[Choice: Take your time]

-Tara: I admire your dedication, Messenger. I’m sure when you’re ready, you’ll be equally committed to your partner.

-Natalia: Oh, I’m sure of that! She would be one lucky lady!

--[Choice: Not now]

Natalia: ‘Scuse me, I’ve gotta go see if the first batch is cooled!

[Tara and Cameron exit the forge]

Cameron: I hope you won’t think I’m being egotistical, but I suspect that Natalia’s ribbing is disguising a bit of a crush. Unfortunately, I’ve already got my eyes on someone else. Well. I better be going. I’m needed back at the Consciousness Center. Hope I see you soon, Tara.

**Intimate Friend** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: After gaining 5 full hearts, visit Cameron in the morning at the League of the Conscious Mind.
Dialogue:

Cameron: Hi Tara! I’m so glad you stopped by. I have a bit of a conundrum. Leon Corne, the founder of the League of the Conscious Mind, has offered to stop in town to give our chapter a boost. Sure, our growth has been slow, but all of our new members are very enthusiastic! I want to prove that I can make this chapter flourish on my own, but I don’t want to insult Messenger Corne, either! What do you think I should say?

--[Choice: He needs to have faith in you]

-Tara: I think you’re doing a great job. Messenger Corne needs to have faith in you and let you fly on your own.

-Cameron: Wow, thank you. I think you’re right. I’m going to tell him that we’re fine on our own.

--[Choice: No harm in getting advice]

-Tara: You're doing a good job, but some advice from the founder couldn't hurt, right?

-Cameron: I suppose you're right. I was being proud. Thank you.

--[Choice: Could be a celebrity boost]

Cameron: It means a lot to me that the Fairhaven membership has placed their trust in me thus far. I’m going to keep working hard to prove myself worthy of it. And I appreciate… feeling that there are people here who I can really trust too. Like you, Tara.

Dialogue:

Cameron: I’m really glad to see you today, Tara.

Tara: Really? What’s up?

Cameron: It’s been so nice getting to know you since you moved to town. I’ve been wondering if you’d be interested in joining me for dinner sometime?

Tara: Sure, I’d love that!

Cameron: Wonderful! I’ll arrange something special.

Cameron: Sophia, it smells heavenly in here! Tara, when I moved here, I had no idea if the community was going to welcome me or just reject me and my ideas outright. But now my Consciousness Center is a safe haven for my members. And I find myself wanting to put down roots too. I don’t want to freak you out, but I could really see myself having a future with you. I just need to know how you feel.

--[Choice: I feel the same way]

Tara: I might not fully understand your mission, but I feel a real connection with you, Cameron.

**Partner** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: After gaining 6 full hearts, Cameron will send a letter asking to meet in the Consciousness Center at night.
Dialogue:

Darling,

Meet me in the Consciousness Center after sunset tonight, I have a surprise for you!

--Cameron

Tara: Cameron, this is beautiful! If… kind of a fire hazard!

Cameron: Is it too much? I just wanted it to be special. When I first started climbing the Mountain of Consciousness, I always assumed I would be alone. I never imagined I would meet someone with whom I could walk the path. I want to be by your side always, both of us working to better ourselves while supporting each other in our journeys. I would really like for you to have this. [Gives Lizzy’s Necklace]

Tara: This is gorgeous! It doesn’t look like the other level-up medals you’ve given out.

Cameron: No, this isn’t from the League. Right now, I’m not Messenger Conner. I’m just Cameron. That necklace was my mother’s. But now I want you to have it.

Tara: Wow. I don’t know what to say. Other than I love it. And you.

Cameron: I love you too, Tara.

**Engaged** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: After gaining a seventh full heart, a letter will arrive in the mailbox that starts a quest line to get engaged.
Dialogue:

Tara: Cameron, I have a gift for you.

Cameron: Oh! I… don’t know… well, who would perform the ceremony? It can’t be me, can it?

Tara: First things first! Will you marry me, Cameron?

Cameron: I’m sorry! I mean yes! Of course I’ll marry you!

Tara: Gloria could marry us.

Cameron: Oh, that’s true. Okay, I’ll set everything up for next week!

**Spouse** *(expand)*

**How to initiate cutscene**: 7 days after proposing, Tara and Cameron will have a marriage ceremony in the woods.
Dialogue:

Gloria: I haven’t been home in a long time, and missed Tara and Cameron’s arrival to our island. But I’m so glad they each decided to make Fairhaven their home, and that in so doing they found each other. I’ve asked Cameron for some guidance in his faith’s wedding traditions. He’s told me that the couple will simply join hands, turn, and then walk down the path to their new life together. So, I invite Tara and Cameron to do so, when they’re ready.

Cameron: I love you, Tara.

Tara: I love you too, Cameron.

Cameron: Will you join me on this journey of life?

Tara: I will. Will you join me?

Cameron: You know it. Come on, let’s get started!
