Story Quests

Story quests can only be done once. They cannot be declined, but there is no time limit to complete them.

## Introduction

Use Book Item(s) - Use Toy Item(s) - Use Food Item(s)

*If completed:* Wasn’t that fun? Your Kith’s physical attributes - Power, Guard, and Speed - can be raised by playing Games with them or completing Quests. The two of you should Explore the town to meet everyone and see who has Quests for you to complete!

Note: Before they removed the option to decline Story Quests, the text when declining this quest read: "I hope you enjoy those experiences in the future someday. Your Kith’s physical attributes - Power, Guard, and Speed - can be raised by playing Games with them or completing Quests. The two of you should Explore the town to meet everyone and see who has Quests for you to complete!"

## The Family That Eats Together

*If completed:* Hm... Good, good. This gives me some excellent ideas, but it is no use cooking something the kids won't eat. Can you inquire with them? Here are shards to acquire any needed ingredients.

Play A Game

*If completed:* Dad is cooking tonight? Oh no! Well, obviously we need soda to sweeten the meal between bites! Mmmm...

*If completed:* Of all the silly m-mistakes... Th-thank you, (username)... That’s right, you, uh, came here for something? What...? Dinner? How... odd. Dad normally just cooks soup. I-it’s nice of him to ask after our interests. I present to you, the perfect meal: cereal! You can take this extra box to Dad.

*If completed:* Oh, (username). No, this won't do at all. Have you ever babysat before? You cannot simply give into requests for junk food! Go back and ask them again. Be firm! This is supper, not a snack!

*If completed:* Ouch! Fine, fine, I get it! Mayyyybe soda wasn’t the wisest choice. Still, it never hurts to see if you can get away with it! Hmm... flip... flip... How about a potato side? It's a vegetable, but starchy enough to still be delicious! Here, take this back.

*If completed:* A-ah! No need to shove this in my face! My cereal isn't healthy enough? Let me see... flip... flip... How... how about fish? I heard fish oil is... good for the brain. H-here, have this back.

*If completed:* You really pulled through, (username). This is simply delightful. Though, I can't help but feel I put quite a weight on your shoulders. Why don't you come over to join us for dinner too? I'll teach you the recipes myself!

Note: You'll receive one of each Reward item.

## Discovering The Enchanted Forest

This... is perfect, thank you. You seem rather bored... P-perhaps you can assist me with a bit of science? I am studying the threads. I would like to know their properties... I can offer you a bit of compensation for your time, of course. My father might know where to start. Why don't you speak to him, while I start reading? Flip. Flip.

Ah! I see, so Lycus is investigating the threads. I realize you wish to help my dear boy, but I must request you both use the utmost caution. Please understand, no one has ever returned from the Tatters. I may not completely comprehend the experiments that Lycus works on - do you? Perhaps more time spent studying history could help prevent you from repeating it.

I appreciate your serious attention in this matter. You know, I had a cousin who was lost to the Tatters. She had fanciful dreams that the threads might lead her to other worlds - to adventure. Her mother scolded her for such thoughts, but she continued to dream, as dreamers are known to do. One day she left home without a word, ignoring the few who saw her leaving Hope and called out to her. And like that, she was gone. I sometimes allow myself the wistful belief that she found her adventure… Sigh. Always remember, (username): the threads are not safe. Under no circumstances should you explore beyond Hope. It is the one rule I insist you obey above all others. You are too dear to us to lose, (username).

All right… I know this is a-a lot to ask, but, (username), might you be willing to acquire a sample of the threads for me? Certainly you shouldn't go INTO them... but if you lean close enough p-perhaps you can just, uh… pluck one off? H-here, take this to Iris, she’ll know how to do it safely!

Oh dear. Look at this - as soon as I step away from the Tatters, the sample evaporates, or dissolves, or something, right out of the jar. Hmm. No, don’t despair! There’s always hope. Perhaps you can ask around?

Aww, (username), aren’t you a sweet pea! What is it you're looking for, if I may ask? Hm… I’m no expert, of course, but I’ve heard that Miranda’s been asking a lot of questions about the Tatters lately. She’s a hard one to read, she is… Oh! I didn’t even realize that was a joke until I said it. ‘Cause she’s a librarian, hard to read… tee hee.

Keep your voice down, please. There are some history books - rare ones, with limited copies, that are kept out of circulation. Only advanced students are allowed access in the University, and only with special permission from the Headmaster. You’d have to study for years to even be allowed to ask. There are theories, really, really complex theories, about the nature of reality in there. I don’t.. fully comprehend it myself, if I’m being honest. But I think… I think it means that the Tattered Weave might someday be able to reform. It has to do with the “threads” that make up matter, and how they can be ripped or sewn… I mentioned it to Andre, and he had his own ideas.

Once fabric has been torn apart, it can’t ever be put back exactly the way it was. A good tailor can mend the damage, sometimes so well that you can’t see any trace of it, but it still isn’t the same. We think the reason no one returns from the Tattered Weave is because they start to unravel, and once it starts, you can’t undo the damage. Oppositely, it could mean that the edge of the Tatters could be used toooo-! Ah! Um! I-I gotta go! Shh!

6277 Shards

Thanks for helping me look around the shop! Andre must be even busier than Jay with the amount of times she runs his errands, and how many times his store is empty when I visit… Anyway! What are you up to? Learning about the Tattered Weave, huh? Not my style. But I bet Jay would have the right tool for you. If anyone would, it’d be her.

3329 Shards

Thank you, (username)! A little hard work can go a long way. Now, what can I do for you? Um… I don’t get along with the Kith. Don’t much care to, thanks all the same. You should ask Piper - she’s got the critters so crammed into the Arcade that the place might pop.

3236 Shards

Phew. The day is saved, thanks to you, me, and some creative fun. Haha! Kith can be a handful, sure, but after a while you learn how to tell what they really want: attention. Whether it’s eating, playing, learning, cooking, or whatever activity you prefer, they’re just looking to bond with someone. Hm? Did that give you an idea?

Use Toy Item - Use Book Item - Use Food Item

It worked! How delightful! You see, (username), the Tatters fell apart between us when you did that. Why? I don’t know why. It made sense to try, that’s all. Here is the sample you wanted to collect.

The sample vanished? W-well then... that is rather intriguing. And then what? Uh huh… Whuh… Er, okay… Gasp! You got it? You really got it?! Eureka!! (Username)! This is it! The last thing I needed to complete the Scanner! I-if my theory is correct, this can prove there IS something out there, beyond the Tatters! We’ll finally learn whether we really are the last Hope!

## To Catch A Thief

*If completed:* Hm? What’s that you’ve got? Oh… I haven’t checked on my account in months, so I’m not sure exactly when it happened. I mean, it could have happened late last year, sure. But why does that matter? Do you have a plan?

3120 Shards

*If completed:* Let’s take a look… Weird. These are.. tiny fingerprints. Like… Oh. No. NO. (Username), give me that kit.

*If completed:* The truth comes out. It was my little brother, Lee, all the way back in October. Apparently Iris doesn’t know about the 13-and-older rule - don’t worry, I asked Nic to pass that along to her so we can avoid this happening again. Lee got so excited about the Kith that he Allied with one and wanted to buy it a Gray Tattertint. Some shady character must have sold it to him, because Nic wouldn’t have sold it to a minor. Of course, Lee’s only seven years old, so when his attention span wore down.. he ended the Alliance. And there went my 500 Gems, with only some leftover dye to show for it. Sigh. He’s going to be doing extra chores for months.

*If completed:* That being said, Gems can be earned in many ways here without the use of premium purchases! We want our community to be welcoming to everyone, whether they are a premium or free player. Here, (username), please take this for your savings and always look for good and honest ways to have fun together!

*If completed:* How strange... This is what you found? What a mess! Why would a Kith have collected dyes and a drop cloth? (Username), did you see where these things were? Near the Tatters? I wonder...

## A Frayed Alliance

*If completed:* Fray says, “TAH DAH! Whaddya think, (username)? Thanks to you, I got all this stuff to make a replacement necklace for Andre! It's pretty good for a first try, isn't it? Do you think he'll like it?”

*If completed:* Hmm... (username), I’ve known Andre for a long time now. I can tell that he’s upset about the necklace, but, well, it’s not really about the necklace. He feels frustrated because he doesn’t understand why Fray wants to Ally with him so badly, AND now he feels guilty because the necklace was very sweet. But their personalities are just so different. Fray is loud and pushy and destructive, while Andre is quiet and withdrawn. How can they possibly get along?

10 Gems

*If completed:* Look here, at this page. He mentions how hard this pattern is without a partner. And this line: "With enough practice, lots of trial and error, and a few tears later, you can overcome the challenge without having to worry about asking for help." I wonder if, deep down, he’s lonely?

*If completed:* What do you think? Is this an activity that could curtail the impulsive behaviors toward less productive outlets?

*If completed:* WHEE! Wasn’t that fun!? Let’s do it again! You’ve just gotta learn not to cry over spilled soda! Kith are like little kids; they make mistakes sometimes. They can learn from it if you teach them!

*If completed:* Huh.. The Kith wants to clean up after itself? I guess that’s a good sign. Maybe it’ll be okay.

*If completed:* Since Fray seems rather destructive with those claws, maybe that can be channeled into a positive action for Andre’s Tailoring Shop! What if Fray were to tear up jeans for a rough-and-tough look?

*If completed:* Ohoho! There, now, what a clever solution, (username)! Give a hyperactive Kith some dye and some socks to create their own artistic vision! They can make a mess into something fashionable!

50 Gems

*If completed:* If it’s merely a matter of personalities clashing, there IS one simple solution I can offer. Changing a Heart can be done easily!

*If completed:* I… Thank you.. But.. I’m sorry, I can’t use this. I’ve decided to teach Fray on my own, and, and that comes with the ups and downs. I want to learn how to change, too. I-I don’t want to run away whenever something goes wrong… I want to try to fix it.

*If completed:* Now look at us! Andre finally talked to me about his nerves, and why he was so scared to hang out with me before. He even made me a Friendship Necklace of my own!! And my other friends chipped in their own Gems to help me afford that vacation I’ve been wanting! What would I do without my darling friends?
