Welcome

 * Hey!
 * I'm the guy that never stops talking
 * All I do is say stuff
 * I'm not entirely sure why but I can't help it
 * There really is no point talking to me
 * I won't give you anything
 * I won't even say anything interesting
 * I just talk about random things
 * Like for example
 * The other day I met some kind of wizard
 * And they told me to come back in 3 to 5 business days
 * That was over a year ago
 * Still nothing
 * What kind of people do that?
 * Tells you to come back in a few days for no reason
 * Really makes you think
 * Also this guy, Crappox or something
 * Told me to kill enemy monsters for him
 * I asked him how much he'd pay me
 * He said I had to pay him instead
 * Makes no sense to me
 * I met a guy called Jerry too
 * Smart guy, he's going places
 * Met him a few times in fact, he's always around
 * Not the best for conversations but
 * At least he's a good listener
 * And I like that, good listeners
 * But you know what I don't like listening to?
 * People who play that harp
 * You know the one I'm talking about?
 * Always people playing it, but terrible music
 * Sometimes they even stop in the middle of the song
 * And they restart, just like that
 * Go figures
 * There's also this guy who's asking me to race him sometimes
 * He's acting like he's the best
 * But I always beat him first try
 * What's his problem?
 * At least he's an original
 * Most people always talk about coins around here
 * Everything has a value, and time is money
 * People don't take their time to enjoy the little things
 * Even you I'm sure
 * You really think I'm going to reward you with something
 * But I'm not, I swear
 * You can leave at any time and it won't affect anything
 * I just like to talk, I can go on for hours
 * Someone told me I was interesting once
 * Didn't believe them one bit
 * So many people lying and trying to be your friend
 * They all have a motive
 * Especially those mayor candidates
 * All they want is your vote
 * But do they really care about me?
 * Doubt [x]
 * It's always so black and white with them
 * Mining, fishing, they never mix
 * Why is that? What if I like mining and fishing?
 * But there is no point arguing
 * They are always right
 * And the people, sheep I say
 * They always vote for the same
 * It's always a landslide
 * Everyone wants to do like everyone else
 * Not me, I'm a free spirit
 * I'll tell you why
 * My home is clean and beautiful
 * Is your island beautiful?
 * A proper island is the key to success
 * Healthy island leads to healthy life
 * Also, remember those island we could place?
 * Like the sand one and forest one?
 * What happened to those, why not more?
 * So weird, it looked promising
 * Instead you have me
 * Sometimes I wonder
 * If I wasn't talking, what would people do instead
 * Am I a waste of time and space
 * Is that why I'm here, on this world
 * Maybe it's time I do something with my life
 * I could run for mayor
 * I wonder if people would vote for me
 * What would my program even be?
 * I would reward people for talking
 * But not those who talk about their auctions, yuck
 * I would reward people who explore and walk around
 * I would fill the village with friends with amazing stories to tell
 * But who would vote for me
 * Maybe instead I should stay there and keep talking
 * Talking is my favorite event
 * I like events but I prefer uneventful days
 * That way I can keep talking
 * I can't believe you are still listening
 * You are one of a kind
 * I have many more stories up my sleeve
 * Like that time I found a fairy soul
 * I went to Tia after because she asked me to
 * So I asked her, what are fairy souls?
 * And she said they are the remains of dead fairies
 * Isn't that terrible?! So many dead fairies everywhere!
 * She also said that all those fairies didn't die a peaceful death.
 * They were all killed! A long time ago.
 * But why would anyone do that? And who did it?
 * The strangest part is, Tia really didn't seem phased about it.
 * Just thinking about it I have a chill down my spine.
 * Those fairies are so strange.
 * But you know what else is strange?
 * Accessories, I mean what are those
 * I have an entire bag full of accessories
 * I'm basically a garage sale at this point
 * My favorite one is the cat one
 * I love cats
 * I want a cat pet but not the black one, bad memories
 * Cats are the best, they listen to me
 * I think they are learning, one day they will take control
 * But be my guest, a cat mayor is all I need
 * My second favorite activity is sleeping
 * But even in my sleep, I dream of talking
 * Sometimes I dream that I'm talking to myself
 * A whole table with 10 clones of me around it
 * All of us pretending to be more interesting than the others
 * But how could we? We are all the same
 * I guess my dreams are not very creative
 * I don't have a great imagination, that's why I never lie
 * I wonder though, do you think there will be another world like this one day?
 * Somewhere else, not exactly the same, but better in some way
 * Also it sounds crazy but, do you think we could exist without cubes?
 * Ender Pearls are my favorite items
 * Not because of what they do, but because they are circles
 * I wish the world was a circle too, it's so much prettier
 * I'd love to be in a circle world
 * Maybe there is a circle world somewhere, with someone just like me
 * In their circle world, dreaming of a cubic world
 * You really are a great listener
 * Now I regret saying I wouldn't reward you
 * But I swore, and I am a man of my words
 * But thank you for listening, I appreciate it a lot
 * I hope that you are happy and that everything is good in your life
 * There are ups and down sometimes but there is always a shinning light
 * My shinning light is you, a beam of hope in this dark cave
 * I'll tell you the story of my life
 * Once upon a time, on an island far away
 * I used to live in a small town, we had a house, 2 floors and an attic
 * Back then I was quite shy and reserved
 * I liked reading and listening to birds
 * There was always a cat around the house, sometimes killing the birds
 * I hated that cat with a passion, but my parents seemed to enjoy its presence
 * One day the cat gave birth to 3 little devils, and decided to hide them in our attic
 * They were making so much noise, right above my room
 * I never understood the reason we had to leave them be, I wanted them out
 * One day after sundown, a fire started spreading in our house
 * Quickly we understood it was too late to stop it, and exited the house with our valuables
 * I was asked if I knew whether or not the kittens were still inside the house
 * When asked that question, I remained silent, but I knew the answer
 * Soon after, the flames were engulfing the house
 * Suddenly the mom cat appeared from the shadows of the night and ran into the house
 * This creature usually so afraid of the fire, rushed into the infernal flames
 * About 20 seconds later, the cat passed the front door again, holding one of their cubs
 * And immediately after, dashed back inside the fire to save the rest of their litter
 * After the second trip, the cat was burning, but still went back in, right after making sure the cub was safe
 * I waited 30 seconds, my eyes fixed on the front door, holding my breath
 * Finally it came out with the last kitten
 * The cat was in terrible shape, but the kittens were safe
 * It looked one last time at them, and died next to the 3 little bodies
 * I was in shambles, never in my life had I been so wrong
 * Later on I buried the cat under my favorite tree, and adopted their cubs
 * I loved those 3 little devils with all my heart and gave them all the care in the world
 * They became beautiful and happy cats, their mom would have been proud
 * This event changed me to my very core, everything about me had to change
 * From that day I never hated anything anymore, and never stopped talking
 * But having said this story, I'll exceptionally need to take a break
 * I haven't told that story to many people
 * Thank you for listening to me

Coming Back

 * Oh you came back!
 * For a moment I thought you wouldn't
 * I'm sorry if I spooked you a little bit last time
 * Sometimes I get carried away too much and tell personal stories
 * I apologize
 * You can call me Tal, some people call me TK
 * I don't actually live there, I'm just visiting
 * Maybe one day I’ll show you my place
 * I think I had dwarves somewhere in my family tree
 * That's why I look like one
 * I like visiting islands, some more than others
 * Golden Mines, Blazing Fortress... haven't been there in ages
 * I used to go to the End a lot, not anymore
 * The dragon heart corrupts everything, even the people
 * I like it better down here, there are people like you
 * The story of these mines is old, older than the End island for sure!
 * You do know the story of the End island right?
 * Hum, well that's awkward
 * I guess they don't really teach you much do they
 * Unfortunately I don't know enough details myself
 * I do know a few things, you remember the giant skeleton on the island nearby?
 * The heart of that creature is sealed on the End island
 * Not many people are left, who can tell the story of that day
 * Maybe Jerry saw it, when he was very young
 * And even he was probably born much later
 * The Calamity is the reason why the earth got shattered into many islands
 * I wish I knew more, it's a fantastic subject
 * The end of an era, and the beginning of a much darker one
 * Sorry if I'm boring you, I like history
 * I went to the Sky Academy, greater teachers there
 * You should go there someday, even greater adventurers need to learn a few things!
 * My parents always told me to focus on my studies
 * They were right, I'm a successful young man now!
 * Maybe not so young, but my point still stands
 * Studies on one side and fun on the other, both are very important
 * Yin and yang, one should not go without the other
 * The Academy was tough, but I met a few friends there
 * You know the banker?
 * He was in my promotion back then
 * He invented the bank!
 * I still have no idea where all that interest is coming from
 * A genius this guy
 * I like seeing the world evolve through time
 * What they did to the village a few years ago was great
 * I feel like we entered the modern age
 * The technology is progressing fast, who knows what's coming next!
 * I'm sure one day people will fly to the moon
 * I knew a time without adventurers, without banks and auctions
 * Not much was happening back then
 * And then it happened
 * One day hordes of people appeared out of nowhere
 * Nobody seems to know why
 * I have my theory but I won't tell you
 * You would think I'm crazy, maybe you already do
 * All those people at once
 * It was really overwhelming
 * It did create so many business opportunities
 * The economy is booming
 * That guy, Bazaar, he really took advantage of it
 * Bazaar isn't even his real name
 * He changed his name to Bazaar because it was better for business, he said
 * A real specimen
 * Lots of people think they understand the market
 * I gave up on it
 * I did buy some stocks of stonks when he opened
 * I still have a few
 * That Warren guy made a lot of money and disappeared
 * Another shark
 * Maybe I should sell my own currency and make people believe it's worth many coins
 * Like Talcoins?
 * The value of anything is in the eyes of the buyers
 * I'm sure I could raise the price of anything if I really tried
 * Some people do that all the time in the community
 * I like it though, it creates opportunities for everyone
 * I think a lot of what happens around here can serve as a life lesson
 * It's important to experience the right things when you are young
 * Even bad moments can be blessings in disguise
 * Someone scammed me a very valuable thing one day
 * They even got away with it, awful
 * But never again have I gotten fooled
 * If I could I would pay him double
 * A lesson for a few coins, a great deal
 * Always stay vigilant
 * Some people don't see it the same way
 * Do you know the origin of the word utopia?
 * It means a place that does not exist
 * Even the people who created the word knew it was a paradox
 * Some people are smarter than hundreds of other combined
 * Do you think they were born that way, or became?
 * I have my own view on the matter
 * My opinion is that it's a little bit of both
 * The smartest baby would become a monkey if it wasn't taught anything
 * Someone told me a story one day
 * Bird eggs are grey and dirty, snake eggs are white and clean
 * The bird decided to sit on the clean egg instead of his
 * The egg hatched and the snake ate the bird
 * He told me the moral of the story is that birds are stupid
 * But is that the moral of the story?
 * Maybe it's about appearances being deceiving
 * A clean shell can hide a dirty mind
 * Maybe it's about beauty being subjective
 * If the bird found dirty eggs pretty, he wouldn't have gotten in that situation
 * Maybe it's about planning ahead
 * Short term comfort can lead to troubles in the future
 * Maybe it's about trusting your family more than others
 * If you tell the same story to multiple people they might understand it differently
 * What do you think is the moral of the story?
 * I love talking, but I also think a lot!
 * I'm going to think for a bit, thanks for listening to me! See you!
