A Lemon a Day
The Beginning
You can find Margaret in Foxsong at the entrance to Guard Tower and the way up to the Hill.
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!
