: I didn't steal anyone's goat!
: Oh, of course you didn't, mate!
: We never do them things. I'm sure that goat just wandered off by herself!

: I'd better go clear this matter up.






: But... I... I don't understand.


: I know, I'll ask the local tavernkeeper if she has seen any suspicious-looking Avatars around here lately.




: Mystery? Why mystery?
: He's been seen running about with an attractive pirate girl from Buccaneer's Den.
: No!
: Aye, and who knows what he'll get himself into next?

: Gossipers.




: What are you talking about?
: When you were in here the other night: you were drinking to beat the band! And buying drinks too, for everybody!
: And not paying for any of them.
: Oh yeah, running out on the tab like that was not at all like you. I guess you were pretty drunk.
: I never did that!
: Oh sure, Avatar, whatever you say. Don't worry, I won't tell anybody!




: That little binge is going to cost you 75 gold.
: Really, I never did that and I'm not going to pay. Goodbye!
: You'd better not come back around here, thief!


: I don't understand. I mean, theft is something I do every day... but buying someone drinks? This doesn't make sense. Hey... wait just a second.







: Evidious!

: When I find him I will give him quite the stern talking-to! But where did he go? Nobody knows, they all think it's me. ...Unless....




: Yes! When I was writing in my journal I accidentally wrote down information I was never given!




: *huff* *huff* I need to get some lighter armor.









: Yes you do, you gigantic douche.
: I wanted to be more virtuous, so I made these clothes and have been helping people just like you do. Isn't that great?
: How have you been helping people?
: Okay, there was this one fellow who needed milk and so goats give milk and they eat all kinds of trash and stuff.
: So anyway, I thought that a goat would be good for him so I got him a goat. Neat, huh? Only I couldn't find him later, I don't know where that man went.
: Anyway, then I came into the tavern and lots of people were there, but they didn't seem happy and so I thought that I would make them happy.
: So I bought them all drinks. Lots and lots of drinks, and then they were happy.
: I figured that's what you would do, right? You make people happy. Well, and you kill monsters and stuff.
: I haven't killed any monsters yet, but I'm going to try to do that soon. Maybe tomorrow. Yeah, I think that tomorrow I'll go to Destard and kill a dragon.
: You've killed dragons, right Avatar?
: Wait, wait, slow down. Evidious, I know that you mean well, but you're not helping people.
: What do you mean? I made those people happy, right? That's helping.
: And I got that man a goat. I mean, okay I couldn't find him later, but I was trying.
: Yes, I know that you're trying but you're accidentally hurting people. You see that goat that you found belonged to a farmer.
: You didn't mean to, but you stole his goat. And those drinks that you bought?
: Yeah?
: You didn't pay for those drinks. That hurt the tavern keeper because she lost the money for those drinks.
: Oh no! I thought that I was doing something good. I'm just stupid! I'm no good! I can't do anything right. Go away, Avatar!
: I don't want you to see me. I just want to go jump off a cliff and kill myself!
: No, don't kill yourself, Evidious.
: Why not?
: Because you're a good person. You're trying to do good things, you just need a little guidance, that's all.
: Really?
: Yes, really. Now look, you've got to stop impersonating me. You can be a good person just being yourself.
: From now on when you want ot help, stop and think if what you're about to do will accidentally hurt someone.
: Do you think that I can do it?
: I know that you can.
: Well if you think I can, then it must be true. I'll stop being you and just be me. Thank you, Avatar!






: Stupid assholes.
