A Lemon a Day
The Beginning
You can find Margaret in Ren'Takal at the entrance to the Upper Level. If you then go left under the passage and into the left building, she is standing next to the desk.
Scribbling from a pen is heard inside the captain's office paired with some grumbling from a woman's voice.
Inside, an armored lady stands behind a sturdy desk. She's writing on some parchment with a quill.
-> Excuse me
The armored woman stops writing and peers up to you. ''Yeah? What? Who are you?''
-> Give Name?
''Hrmg...'' The armored woman rests the quill in an ink well. ''Captain Margaret of the Guard. Now, what do you want? I swear to all the gods if you mention fucking lemons...'' Outside, you hear muffled voices. One of a male's, one of a female's... You're not able to hear them, unless you listen closely and ignore the Captain.
->Listen...
You decided to ignore the Captain as they start rambling and ranting about lemons. Instead, you listen to the man and woman outside speak...
Woman: I'm so glad - I'm so glad our lemon tree finally grew.
Man: Me too.
Woman: And sprouted fruitful lemony lemons.
Man: I know, me too, I mean imagine we can make lemonade, key-lemon pie, lemon meringue pie.
->...
W: I think its the most valuable property that we have.
M: I do agree, I think we should go to the bank and get a loan. Actually I think we should get lemon tree insurance.
W: I think you're right.
M: And then get a loan and use the lemon tree as collateral because it is now insured. I truly do love our lemon tree.
->...
W: Just imagine a life full of lemon trees.
M: I know. And all and our beautiful lemons. There's--
W: Endless possibilities.
M: Endless possibilities. They're so beautiful.
W: I wish I were a lemon.
M: You wish you were a lemon? If you were a lemon, I'd put you on my shelf and cherish you like I cherish all our lemons.
W: That's so beautiful!
M: I try.
->...
W: Like, I only hope that horse aren't stealing our lemons. You know, that naughty lemon horse always... steal... lemons.
M: We do have a couple of those lemon horses in this... in this community.
W: That damn lemon stealing horse.
M: I hate them. Because now, no one will take our prized lemons form us.
->...
W: Hey has it been about ten seconds since we've looked at our lemon tree?
M: It has been about ten seconds till we've looked at a lemon tree.
W: Gosh--
The captain starts snapping her fingers in front of your face. ''Were you even listening you absent-minded buffoon?''
->Huh!?
The captain sighs, ''Anyway, if you're looking for a job, I'm sorry, I don't have anything--''
There's screaming heard outside.
''HEY'' a woman is heard yelling.
''HEY, WHAT THE FUCK!?'' a man yells.
''ITS A LEMON STEALING HORSE!''
Margaret's eye twitch, ''Nevermind, I got a job for you. Go out there, see what the hell's going on with that lemon tree.''
->Gotchya!
