Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Beck and Chris
Base conversations
Beck and Chris 1
Beck:
Yo, 'afternoon.
Chris:
Good afternoon, Sir Beck.
Beck:
Oh, just call me Beck. Also, quit the formalities. Being formal makes you sound so cold and distant, don't you reckon? So, let's talk in a more natural way.
Chris:
I see... Alright, got it. Then I'll do just that, Beck. Nice to meet you.
If Chris is male
Beck:
Yes, Sir Chris. I'm honored to make your acquaintance.
If Chris is female
Beck:
Yes, Dame Chris. I'm honored to make your acquaintance.
Chris:
Er, weren't you being formal...? Oh well. I heard from Prince Marth. You used to be a ballistician, correct?
Beck:
Yeah, I was originally a member of an army. Even after the war was over, I travelled the world with my ballista, but it eventually stopped movin'...
Chris:
An accident?
Beck:
No, actually... In order to move a ballista, we need the oil from a special fruit. However that fruit disappeared after the last war, see. So you can attack with a ballista, but not move it and therefore, you can't travel with it either. Gettin' it to places would be just too hard, see.
Chris:
Ah, so that's why... Indeed, none of the enemy ballisticians we've faced in this war moved at all.
Beck:
Yeah, that's why I decided to choose this guy to keep me company during my travels, instead of my old ballista. I call 'im Pony.
Chris:
I see you've grown attached to him. He's a good horse.
Beck:
A pony among ponies you could say.
Chris:
I see.
Beck and Chris 2
Beck:
Pony is really nice, see. He's a great listener, always listenin' to everything I say. I talk to 'im when I'm feelin' lonely.
Chris:
You talk to him?
Beck:
Yeah, Pony can understand what people say.
Chris:
Really?
Beck:
'Course he can. Oh right, you want to try it out? Go on, say something to 'im.
Chris:
Eh? Do I really have to?
Beck:
'Course you do.
Chris:
Oh well... H-hello, Pony.
If Chris is male
Beck:
Look, Pony. He said "hello" to you, so, go on, greet 'im back. There, look. He made a "hello" face, didn't he?
If Chris is female
Beck:
Look, Pony. She said "hello" to you, so, go on, greet 'er back. There, look. He made a "hello" face, didn't he?
Chris:
R-really?
Beck:
Go on and talk more to 'im.
Chris:
Eh, um, alright. For how long have you been with your master?
Beck:
Look, didn't he make a "'Alf a year, I s'pose. A lot has 'appened in this time. He rescued me, when I was gonna be thrown away for being too old. And now he's my master. He gives me carrots three times a day, they're my favorite." ...face just then?
Chris:
I-is that so...?
Beck and Chris 3
If Chris is male
Beck:
Yo, Mister Chris. Good afternoon. I was just talking to Pony about you.
Chris:
R-really?
Beck:
Isn't that right, Pony? Look, isn't that an "Exactly" face?
Chris:
I think that's just how you're feeling, but... Oh well. I brought a carrot for Pony today.
Beck:
Thank you. Aren't you glad, Pony? Eh, Pony!? How could you...! That was just mean...
Chris:
...What did Pony say?
Beck:
Please don't mind 'im. Pony is a bit foul-mouthed, but he's a nice fellow.
Chris:
How long do you intend to continue with this act...?
Beck:
I used to get food with this act when I lacked money during my travels, see.
Chris:
So it really is an act!
Beck:
Well well, your present is very appreciated nonetheless, Mister Chris. Look, isn't this a "thank you" face?
Chris:
Pony's?
Beck:
No, mine.
