Looks Like Rain

**Looks Like Rain** is a side quest in *We Happy Few*. It takes place in Maidenholm and activates when the player passes by a big motilene spill and a crier jumping in the puddles.

## Objectives

* Talk to Mrs. Pankhurst
* Find Mrs. Pankhurst one Night Blooming Nonsuch
* Give Mrs. Pankhurst one Night Blooming Nonsuch
* Find Mrs. Pankhurst an old shredded raincoat
* Give Mrs. Pankhurst an old shredded raincoat
* Find Mrs. Pankhurst a sewing kit.
* Bring Mrs. Pankhurst a sewing kit.

## In-Game Description

What is she rambling on about?

Good Lord. That's a puddle of motilene! One spark and she's going to incinerate herself. How can I get her attention? I bet a nice bouquet would do it.

Mrs. Pankhurst promises to teach me how to sew rubber if I bring her an old, tattered raincoat. That could be useful. I could make myself a rubber suit, and then all those electrical traps wouldn't shock me.

Oh, it figures. She forgot that she needed a sewing kit. I better find her one, or I'm never going to learn how to sew through rubber.

## Walkthrough

The player needs to have a Night Blooming Nonsuch, Shredded Raincoat, and a Sewing Kit to give to Mrs. Pankhurst in order to complete the quest.

## Transcript

Pankhurst: Oh, hello love! Come stomp in the puddle with me! It's ever so much fun!

Arthur: Good Lord that's motilene! One spark and she's going to incinerate herself! I've got to get her attention somehow. Maybe a lot of pretty flowers would do it.

Pankhurst: Ooooh! Aren't you a dear.

Arthur: Are you sure you want to be stomping around in motilene? It's quite dangerous.

Pankhurst: Oh my goodness. This is motilene! What am I doing? I'd better get out of this pubble, hadn't I! The fumes must have gone to my head!

Pankhurst: It's just that I miss stomping around in the rain. You see, I don't have a raincoat. I used to have one. Do you know what happened to it?

Pankhurst: Neither do I, love, neither do I. I could make one, you know. I know the secret. To sewing through rubber. You have to know the trick.

Pankhurst: I know! You bring me an old raincoat, I'll make myself a new raincoat, and I'll teach you the Secret to Sewing Through Rubber!

Pankhurst: Oh, lovely! I can make something out of this! You are a dear. Oh, wait. I also need a sewing kit. Have you got one?

Pankhurst: Ooooh, that's exactly what I needed!

Pankhurst: I promised to teach you the secret, didn't I? Well, listen to this: You make the hole first. Then you put the needle through. Got that, dearie? Gloves, boots, another raincoat: you can make anything rubbery that way.

## Trivia

* The player can return to this location as much as they like to get free motilene, though they'll need the motilene harvester to be able to do so.
* In previous builds, the player needed a bouquet to give Mrs. Pankhurst. However, the bouquet has since been removed from the game, and cannot be crafted anymore.

Pankhurst: Ooooh! Aren't you a dear.

Pankhurst: Oh my goodness. What was I thinking? That's motilene!

Pankhurst: It's just that I miss stomping around in the rain. You see, I don't have a raincoat. I used to have one. Do you know what happened to it?

###  Changes

Unlike the final version, Mrs. Pankhurst was the only one who spoke for the entire quest, as Arthur remained silent. Interestingly, the line that Mrs. Pankhurst says when she's given the flowers is much shorter.

Instead of being given just one Night Blooming Nonsuch, the player had to give her a full bouquet.

Lastly, 'Talk to Mrs. Pankhurst' was added as the first objective of the quest, and a new description line was added alongside it.
