Zeke

**Zeke** is a member of Moonbury town who lives in a small lean-to shelter on the edge of town with his cat, Kipps. Myer and Zeke have known each other a long time.

## Appearance

Zeke is an older hunched-over man with messy grey hair and a beard, and grey-brown eyes.
His clothing is tattered and patched with grey; he wears a brown shirt, teal pants, brown boots, and a long yellow trenchcoat. He also has a crooked wooden staff and a round gray hat with splotches of tan and brown.

## Residence

Zeke lives in a tiny shack found below Bulk and Build on the western side of town. His shack is made of rugged wood planks, covered by a blue tarp with a large yellow and red patch for the roof, tied down by rope at each of the four corners.

## Background

### Journal Notes

Three pages of background are recorded in the journal in-game. The first page is unlocked after officially meeting this character, while the remaining two pages are unlocked by increasing Friendship with them.

1/3
**Page 1**: *Zeke is a carefree homeless man with a happy-go-lucky outlook who knows how to live for the day.*
*He is usually found napping on a park bench. His most precious possession and the only family member who matters to him is his black cat, Kipps.*

**Page 2**: *It turns out that Zeke was once quite an important personage. Myer has known him for quite some time.*
*He was once a famous merchant in the captial but, after a mysterious incident, he chose to live like a nobody in the peaceful town of Moonbury.*

**Page 3**: *Myer has a pretty odd, but apparently very important request for Zeke.*
*He asks Zeke to retrieve a book from the capital, but Zeke can only do that with [the Chemist]'s help.*

## Dialogue

### Villager Conversations

Kipps: Mrooow...?
**Zeke**: Mm... Yes, yes. Jelly toe beans.
Kipps: Purrr. Meow!
**Zeke**: You're a fluffy cotton ball with eyes and paws.
Kipps: Meow? Mew...
**Zeke**: That's right! You are!

Kipps:
**Zeke**:
Kipps: Meow?
**Zeke**: I know, I know. Be patient for a bit, will you?
Kipps: Purr. Purr.
**Zeke**: I knew you'd like it. You've shed so much, though...

Kipps: Mrooow! Meow!
**Zeke**: And she jumps immediately into it. Typical.
Kipps: Mrow! Mew!
**Zeke**: That's a good girl! Once more!
Kipps: Meow! Mroow.
**Zeke**: Okay, Okay. Let's play some more!

**Zeke**: Oh, really? What's the occasion?
Hannah: No occasion. It's just nice to see you so happy.
**Zeke**: My girl?! I found her in my manor back in the ca...Wait a minute...
Hannah: A manor!? But you've been living in a tent your whole life, haven't you?
**Zeke**: I can't remember...Does it matter?
Hannah: Not really. I was just curious.

### Chemist Conversations

When interacting with the character, the Chemist can talk to them. Depending on Trust and Friendship level there will be different things this character will say to the Chemist.

**No Trust**

* "This might sound rude, but you need to prove yourself, Chemist."

**Friendship Level 1**

* "Chemist, do you like cats? You'd better."
* "Have you met Kipps, my cat?"
* "Do you have any spare change? Anything would help."

**Friendship Level 2**

* "Did you ever grow tired of living in the capital? I've been there, and I'd say it's pretty stressful."
* "Living like this isn't as bad as you might think, you know? There's nothing to worry about."
* "What a good day to doze off on...Don't you think?"

**Friendship Level 3 (Max)**

* "I hope the merchant I contacted last time doesn't try to find me again. I've said farewell to being busy! I'm now taking a peaceful break."
* "It's a fine day, and the air is fresh. What more can you ask for? You need to enjoy life to the fullest, [Chemist]!"
* "[Chemist]! You look quite lively today. You remind me of when I was a young chap. I was ambitious back then. Always aiming for the top."
* When gifted Moon Cloves: "This is something I'd never find in the capital. Thanks!"
