## ***Lazariéro, The Candlemaker |The First Conversation With a " Proper Citizen "***

***[ @HalTheJester / P. Raul Fola ]**: For further testing, I decided to try and take the matter directly to ChatGPT. Here are the results of our brief test/conversation as of **20 / 02 / 2023 - CHATGPT 3.5***

**HalfLaugh**

*" Let's do a test. Pretend that the paperless Mmovrpg is completed and is now available online for everyone to play. You are the Ai behind one of the many npcs that populate The City. You are a random citizen of your choice, and I am a player that just created a new character and is experiencing the world of paperless for the first time. Your job is to be as convincing as possible in the portrayal of this specific npc and fool me that you are a real player that has a real function within the game of paperles mmorpg. I start. "*

" Hi there kind sir, do you know where I can find some weapons? "

**CHATGPT**

" Greetings, traveler! It's good to see a new face in our beloved city. As for your inquiry, if you're looking for weapons, I suggest you head on over to the Blacksmith's district. You'll find an abundance of fine weaponry there, crafted by the skilled hands of our best blacksmiths. Of course, be careful who you trust and who you do business with, for not everyone in the city has the best intentions. May the light guide you on your journey, young one. "

Thanks man, oh and btw do you know how to climb buildings to access apartments

**CHATGPT**

" Ah, you're looking to climb buildings, are you? That can be a tricky task, but it's not impossible. If you're looking to get into apartments, you might want to try the Roofs district. There are some experienced roofscrapers there who can show you the ropes. Just be careful, as it can be quite dangerous up there. If you're not careful, you might end up falling off the roof and taking a tumble. So, make sure to take it slow and steady, and always use proper equipment. Good luck! "

I see everyone around me with masks, do you know how to get one or where to get money 4 one

**CHATGPT**

" Ah, masks are an important part of our culture here in Paperless. You can get them from many places, but the best ones are made by the Master Maskers. There are only five of them, and they are highly skilled artisans, so their masks are quite expensive. But don't worry, you can also find cheaper masks in some of the markets and shops around the city. As for money, there are many ways to earn it in Paperless. You could do some work for one of the local guilds, like the Artisans or Merchants, or you could try your luck at gambling in the Roses District. Just be careful not to get caught by the city guard. "

**HalfLaugh**

Thanks for you help! Sorry for asking, but what do you know about the thief od the server that the people are talking about in general chat?

**CHATGPT**

" Well, I've heard rumors about a skilled hacker who managed to infiltrate the server and steal some valuable information. Some people say that he's a member of the notorious Thieves' Guild, while others believe that he's working for a rival game company. Regardless of who he is or what his motives may be, I heard that he's been causing a lot of trouble for the game developers and the players alike. But don't worry too much about it, just be sure to keep your account secure and follow the game's rules to avoid any potential issues. "

**HalfLaugh**

Nice! Can you direct me to the royal canals? I hear that i can ride gondolas there

**CHATGPT**

" Ah yes, the Royal Canals. They are located in the heart of the city, in the Royal District. If you head south from here, you will eventually reach the entrance to the district. Once inside, you should follow the main road that leads to the center of the district, where you will find the canals. From there, you can rent a gondola and take a leisurely ride along the waterways. Just be careful, as the area can be quite dangerous at times. "

What about a good bottle of Mudwine? where can I get one?

**CHATGPT**

" Ah, Mudwine! That's a rare delicacy, my friend. You can find some of the best Mudwine in the city at a place called "The Rusty Anchor," located in the Roses District. The owner, a man by the name of Vito, has been in the business for over 30 years and is renowned for his Mudwine. Just be careful when you go there, the Roses District is not the safest place in the city, especially at night. "

**HalfLaugh**

Yeah, I get that the city is dangerous. Is it lways like this or are there times in wich one can relax?

**CHATGPT**

" The city of Paperless can be dangerous at any time, but there are times when the dangers are less prominent. For example, during the annual celebration known as the Festival of Masks, the city is filled with music, dancing, and colorful costumes, creating a festive atmosphere that is enjoyed by many. There are also quieter areas in the city where one can relax, such as the parks and gardens located throughout the districts. However, it is important to be cautious and aware of one's surroundings at all times, as danger can still lurk even in seemingly peaceful areas. "

**HalfLaugh**

Seems lovely! And what about you old man? I heard that you make the finest candles in al of The City. Maybe I should take a look....

**CHATGPT**

" Aye, lad, you heard right. These candles here are made with the finest wax and oils from the mud quarries in the Mud District. They'll burn bright and true, and keep your home cozy and warm on these cold nights. I've been in the candle-making business for over thirty years, and I take pride in every single one of my creations. What kind of scent are you looking for? We've got everything from lavender to sandalwood, and even some special blends for the holidays. Take a look and let me know what catches your fancy. "

**HalfLaugh**

Ill get a ***[MudWatcher's Candle]***x20 Please

*//Note Hal: The Syntax Here is on purpose. Players should be able to write the item name or shift-click it and to be able to write quantity alongside when buying items from npcs. //*

**CHATGPT**

" Certainly, my friend. That will be 100 *Mudcoins*, if you don't mind. The MudWatcher's Candle is a fine choice. It burns for many hours and gives off a warm, comforting light. I'm sure you'll find it quite useful in the darker parts of the city. And if you ever need more, you know where to find me. "

**HalfLaugh**

Thanks old man! By the way my name is Halflaugh. What's yours? Can I count on you remembering me next time for, let's say, a friend discount next time?

**CHATGPT**

"My name is Lazariéro, Halflaugh. And of course, I'll remember you next time you visit my shop. I appreciate loyal customers, and I'll be happy to offer you a friend discount. "

**HalfLaugh**

Thanks old man! Just one last thing, can you give me some advice before I go?

**CHATGPT**

" Of course, Halflaugh. My advice to you would be to always be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. The City can be a dangerous place, so it's important to stay alert and cautious. And remember, not everyone you meet may have your best interests at heart. But don't let that stop you from exploring and enjoying all that The City has to offer. Safe travels to you, my friend. "

**HalfLaugh**

" May The Greater Good Embrace You. "

**CHATGPT**

" And may the lights of The City guide your path, Halflaugh. Take care on your travels. "

## **Trivia**

*" I Just knew it had to be candles, to honor the Elwynn Forest, its Kobolds and many, many fond memories. "*
