* “Good morning! I heard from Coco we'd be seeing a new face today. / My name is Mayor. I'm the leader of the Forest Colony. I'm here to give you a warm welcome. / I hope you found your den comfortable enough. We were keeping it nice and tidy in case someone like you came along. / You'll find that we're a pretty friendly bunch of cats around here. You'll want to go around and introduce yourself to everyone when you get the chance. / Make sure you get to know Ember, our shopkeeper. You should also say hello to Doc, our healer. / I live just behind your den on a little island in the middle of town. Come and see me if you get lonely! / Oh, we're also preparing for the Summer Festival. We hope you'll join us for the festivities. / Cats of every colony come together to the Sacred Temple at the end of each season for the festivals. There's usually fun games and prizes you can win. The Summer Festival takes place on the 10th of summer. / Anyway I'll be taking off now. Welcome to the Forest Colony, (Name)!”

* “I have important business to attend to. Get out of my way! / I don't want to talk to you. Leave me alone.”

> ***- Zero stars***

>

* “Ugh, what could you possibly want from me? / What do you want from me?”

> ***- One star***

>

> ***- Two stars***

>

* “Hello again! I'm rather busy, but we can chat for a bit if you'd like.”

> ***- Three stars***

#### 2 Stars

* “I have a lot of power around here, but my authority stems from the community. / Becoming the leader of the Forest Colony requires an election, and many years ago I was chosen to show our kindred the way. / I hope to be remembered well.”

* “The fence of thickets that guards our home was built up over the course of many years. / It has repelled invaders, floods, and predators on more than a few occasions! It serves our colony well.”

* “The Forest Colony is an established government here, but that was not always the case. / Many years ago, as my mother told me, our people came from the far west to settle here. / According to the rumors, the original settlers who founded our home liked this place much better than their previous dwelling in nearly every way!”

* “The Forest Colony is strong, and has been that way for a long time. / We have lived beneath the trees for many generations. We have great respect for the woods that we call home. / I hope you will share in our proud tradition.”

* “What a glorious day! Make good use of it, (Name).”

#### 3 Stars

* “Days like today make me feel like I could accomplish anything. There's a fire of passion in the hearts of all of us!/ Learn to stoke the flames, and you will be unstoppable!”

* “I am sorry if I'm distant today, there's just a lot on my mind.”

* “I'd like to talk sometime, but I have an important meeting to attend soon and should really be preparing. / Don't be a stranger, stop by again soon!”

* “I know it gets a little hectic out by the border sometimes, but our guards do a great job of keeping us safe. / We've got a great a plot of land to live on, and the other colonies know it. They'd like to have our little spot in the forest if they could! / Make sure you say thanks to those that defend us from time to time. They deserve a lot of respect!”

* “Phew, I'm famished. I could really go for some fish right now. / Have I ever told you how much I like the taste of fish? Everybody's got their thing, and those delicious little water-dwellers are mine!”

#### 4 Stars

* “I mean to take a walk out east to the Riverspan soon to assess its structural integrity. We rely greatly on that aging old bridge! / Some say the humans built it over a hundred years ago. If it were to fall, we would have to travel all the way south to the the Rumbling Stones to cross the water!”

* “(Name), I'm glad you came by. Talking to you is a part of my day that I find myself looking forward to! / With so much going on in the forest, it's nice to be able to kick back and just talk with a friend every now and again.”

* “Some day I'd like to make a pilgrimage west to visit the original land that our forefathers owned and lived on. / I believe it would give me a better appreciation for the trials they went through when they moved here. / But there are more important, more pressing matters to attend to. Maybe in the future I'll have time in my schedule, but certainly not today!”

* “You seem to have a knack for politics, (Name). Ever considered getting more involved in our local government? / You would make our colony very proud, I believe. ”

#### 5 Stars

* “Always trust in truth. It is the one thing that cannot lie. / The foundations of a successful government must be rooted in that simple principle!”

* “It seems you've found your place in the Forest Colony successfully. It has been a delight to watch you grow! / Our community is made much better by your involvement here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a great friend and such a grand neighbor!”

* “You know, (Name), I wasn't always called Mayor. / That's a word I stole from the humans, of course. They call people who have authority 'Mayors'. / When I was younger, I traveled far and met many cats, (Name). Some of the finest came from a human town. I knew from that moment on that we could do with a good 'Mayor' around here.”
