Dialogue

• [1/1] Jofash Resident: Hey-o, human! What can I do for ya?
• [1/1] Jofash Resident: What can I do for you?
  • [1] Just saying hi. [EXIT]
    • [1/1] Jofash Resident: Aye!
  • [2] What are you doing?
    • [1/3] Jofash Resident: Oh, you know me, pal, just doin' the rounds.
    • [2/3] Jofash Resident: Waterin' the pots, starin' at the water, potterin' the sta-
    • [3/3] Jofash Resident: ...wait, scratch that last one.
  • [3] Favorite type of bread?

[1/99] Jofash Resident: You know what, I’m glad you asked. [2/99] Jofash Resident: Lots of people these days are going crazy for that ‘all-natural, multiple grains, bred ethically’ garbage. [3/99] Jofash Resident: Really, I wish some of those nutters sit down and take a good bite of some raw, authentic Rye, or a hearty whole-wheat. [4/99] Jofash Resident: That’s the stuff that puts hairs on your chest, my pappy used to say. Good, strong, proper bread from out in the fields. [5/99] Jofash Resident: We used to be farmers, you know. Out near Maltic. WHEW! Glad I moved here though! Not many places serve better rum than good ol’ Jofash! [6/99] Jofash Resident: Back to the point at hand, though, bread. Man oh man I feel like I could go on forever about this. [7/99] Jofash Resident: You know what people always miss when talking about bread, the CONSISTENCY! The consistency is consistently the most im- [8/99] Jofash Resident: Oh, haha, ‘consistently,’ didn’t even mean to do that. Heheh... He seems distracted. Best to walk away while you can... [3] Bread. [9/99] Jofash Resident: Ah, there you are! The ol’ train of thought gets derailed sometimes, you see. [10/99] Jofash Resident: But I can tell that you’re a real enthusiast for bread! [11/99] Jofash Resident: Back to the topic at hand! Consistency! The consistency is consistently the most important part of any good loaf. [12/99] Jofash Resident: Overusin’ so-called “refined” grains is a sure and done way to get runny slop that’s not fit for the pigs. [13/99] Jofash Resident: Come to think, you shouldn’t feed pigs refined grains anyway. It’s hard on their digestion. [14/99] Jofash Resident: Of course! Digestion. A topic I’ll get to later! [15/99] Jofash Resident: Anyway, whole grains are where the money’s at! I’d swear it on these plants. [16/99] Jofash Resident: What you want is a thick-crusted, chewy loaf that you can savor! Not some frail morsel that collapses under its own weight. Why, the things I’ve seen... He begins to list off a seemingly endless amount of examples. [3] Bread. It looks like he’s nearly finished. [17/99] Jofash Resident: In particular, have you seen some of the scraps sold at Ahmsord? Ridiculous! [18/99] Jofash Resident: I’ll let you in on a little secret. The Sky’s Kitchen is great and all, but what passes for bread there is intolerable. No substance at all! [19/99] Jofash Resident: What you’ll want to do is get it straight from the fields, right from the soil! Well, not literally, but from the countryside! Leave breadmakin’ to those who’ve been workin’ with grain before they could walk on two legs! [20/99] Jofash Resident: Heck, I bet even I could do better than those snobby sauciers. [21/99] Jofash Resident: Right. Digestion. The fiber in whole-grain bread is a lifesaver. [22/99] Jofash Resident: Did you know that whole-grain bread has four times the fiber of white bread? Now you do! [23/99] Jofash Resident: Helps keep you full and fit. Want to avoid lookin’ like a loaf of white bread yourself? Fiber’s your man. [24/99] Jofash Resident: Nothin’ beats a rich, fresh-ground fresh-baked loaf with a slab of flat-iron steak. Red meat and fiber make a real man, as my pappy once said. It seems like he’s lost in reminiscence. [3] Bread. [25/99] Jofash Resident: Oh, how time flies. Where was I? Right, white bread. [26/99] Jofash Resident: That stuff’s poison, I tell you! Not a lick of nutritional value! [27/99] Jofash Resident: It’s more milk and sugar than bread! Hardly somethin’ you’d want to eat, never mind something for which you’d pay extra! [28/99] Jofash Resident: Those hawkers can pretend that it’s an upper-crust good all they want, but we all know that it’s just a waste of dough. [29/99] Jofash Resident: Heheh, I did it again! Sorry, sorry, I’ll get the train back on track. Heh... [30/99] Jofash Resident: Blendin' grains? Why jumble the flavors and textures? Just make two loaves of bread instead of one! Or several, if we're talkin' about more than two types of grain. [31/99] Jofash Resident: Say, that reminds me! Bread’s probably the most versatile food. You can make it from just about any type of grain. [32/99] Jofash Resident: But just because you can doesn’t mean that you should. Who could stomach somethin’ like “Oatmeal-Bran Fusion Delight”? WHO WOULD EVEN MAKE BREAD OUT OF OATS?! [33/99] Jofash Resident: Just a waste of food, in my opinion. Sure, it may be like the hottest new culinary sensation now, but it’ll die out like any other idiotic fad in just days. I’m positive that nobody’s eatin’ it for the taste, that’s for sure. Like “Seven Colors of the Grainbow,” or “Hearty Hemp-tastic,” or... He doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. [3] Bread. [34/99] Jofash Resident: ...and don’t get me started on “Pain au Cinfras”! But really, Oatmeal-Bran Fusion Delight is among the worst. Oh! That reminds me about a better use for oats. [35/99] Jofash Resident: If you want to avoid bein’ three sheets to the wind after a busy night of Jofash Rum, then eat a hearty bowl of oatmeal. [36/99] Jofash Resident: Sounds crazy, I know. But it actually works. Take it from me; I’ve tried it! [37/99] Jofash Resident: While anythin’ made of grain helps, oats are particularly good at this. [38/99] Jofash Resident: And I’d bet my bread that you’d rather eat oatmeal than Oatmeal-Bran Fusion Delight, whatever that’s supposed to be. [39/99] Jofash Resident: Though, it seems like you can’t just get a good loaf of bread nearby. Sure, there’s sailin’ biscuits, but that hardly qualifies! [40/99] Jofash Resident: I can’t stomach the fancy stuff, so I just make my own. Not only is it cheaper, but it also tastes much better. [41/99] Jofash Resident: It isn’t too difficult. Besides the obvious, you’ll just need some salt and yeast. Grab something to write with, y’hear? Take some notes! It seems like he's waiting expectantly. From this point onwards, the dialogue will go much slower. [3] Bread. [42/99] Jofash Resident: Ready? Right, let’s get started! The less ingredients you use, the closer you’ll be to makin’ a real loaf! Not the wannabe poundcakes eaten by wannabe spendthrifts. [43/99] Jofash Resident: There’s a common misconception that you need sugar for the yeast to start risin’. Not true! [44/99] Jofash Resident: Give it some time, and bread without sugar will rise just as well. If you want somethin’ good, you need to put in the time and effort for it! [45/99] Jofash Resident: Get it right, and you’ll have the perfect taste and texture for nothin’ more than a few hours of your time! [46/99] Jofash Resident: Let me make it clear: you don’t want sugar in your bread. It’ll do a number on its taste and your teeth. [47/99] Jofash Resident: I’ll cover the taste first. The sugar fights with the raw, savory flavors of an otherwise respectable loaf of bread. [48/99] Jofash Resident: It also fights with your teeth. Bread’s quite sticky as it is, and the sugar doesn’t do it any favors. [49/99] Jofash Resident: Why, I can still remember the time that I got a cavity. Cried my eyes out, I did. [50/99] Jofash Resident: Eventually, my pappy had enough, and he went for the ol’ string-on-a-doorknob trick. He got me good there, though it took him a few tries. He’s thoughtfully rubbing his jaw. Best to leave him be. [3] Bread. [51/99] Jofash Resident: Ah, it seems like I got distracted. Back to the topic at hand. [52/99] Jofash Resident: You aren’t goin’ to get quite as much of an effect on your digestion than coarse-ground whole-grain bread. It keeps most of the fiber intact, after all. [53/99] Jofash Resident: You know how fruit juice contains next to no fiber because none of it goes into the juice? It’s the same deal with white bread. [54/99] Jofash Resident: Fruit juice was banned in my household. As my pappy liked to say, a real man only drinks hard spirits and the sweat runnin’ down his face! Though I wasn’t allowed to have the former, not yet at least! Heheh! So I drank milk instead. [55/99] Jofash Resident: Say, if you haven’t done so already, try bread dipped in milk! Go on! There’s nothin’ quite like it. Don’t accidentally drop the bread into the milk, of course. [56/99] Jofash Resident: You’ll end up with a bloated mess with the consistency of a sponge. And you should know by now that consistency is everythin’! [57/99] Jofash Resident: While we’re on the subject of milk, do you know some folks can’t drink it? Oh, yes, they can try, but sooner or later their belly will protest. [58/99] Jofash Resident: It’s the same deal with bread! Stick with whole-grain, nothin’ added. That way, you don’t have to worry about surprise milk appearances and whatnot. [59/99] Jofash Resident: You got that? Let me know when you’re ready for more. Say, you know what? I oughta talk a bit slower to help you digest what I’m sayin’. Oh! “Digest”! I did it again! Heheh... He’s beaming with pride. [3] Bread. [60/99] Jofash Resident: Right, then, somethin’ that really peeves me is people who use bakin’ powder. What’s wrong with some good ol’ yeast? [61/99] Jofash Resident: Too little of it, and it’ll go plum flat in the oven. Just a little too much of it, and your bread’s going to be as bitter as wormwood! [62/99] Jofash Resident: The only way to get a size that’s just right is the long way! Wait until the yeast works its magic, and bake it right as it reaches its good size. [63/99] Jofash Resident: There’s also nothin’ quite like the smell of yeast as it causes the dough to rise! Works up quite the appetite, it does. [64/99] Jofash Resident: Some people put the cart before the horse and think that yeast works like bakin’ powder. Try that, and you’ll end up with scorchin’-hot bricks in your oven. [65/99] Jofash Resident: No, you have to do it right, and doin’ it right means leavin’ some of the work to the yeast. [66/99] Jofash Resident: Unless you like flat breads. I can’t see why anyone would, though. Bread’s supposed to be puffy and chewy, not some dough jerky! [67/99] Jofash Resident: Though that may not be the case for other pastries. For one, I’ve never once heard of a pie with a chewy crust. [68/99] Jofash Resident: Really, the beauty in bread lies with it’s simplicity! No complicated steps, no chances for the dough to rebel. Certainly not as fickle as somethin’ like a cream puff. [69/99] Jofash Resident: If you treat the dough with respect, the bread will respect you in turn. It’s simple stuff, really! No finnickin’ around with stiff peaks, or needin’ half a dozen bowls to mix in, or getting a flaky dough just right, or... He proceeds to rattle off several grievances about pastry making. [3] Bread. [70/99] Jofash Resident: ...and not to mention that just about everythin’ needs butter in some shape or form! Really, what’s with it? It’s not like the stuff grows on trees! [71/99] Jofash Resident: Makin’ the pastry shiny. Makin’ it taste rich. Makin’ the dough thick. There’s no end to it! Bread’s so much simpler to handle. [72/99] Jofash Resident: Though some people insist upon puttin’ butter in the bread. Not just on it, but in it! There’s more butter than bread at that point! [73/99] Jofash Resident: I don’t have anythin’ against butter itself, mind you. It’s great on toast! Just I think it oughta stay on the toast rather than in it. [74/99] Jofash Resident: Not to mention that there’s a time, place, and occasion for it. If you put butter on everythin’, you’re goin’ to get sick of it real quickly. Eat it in moderation! Your tongue and your emerald pouch will thank you. [75/99] Jofash Resident: Of course, there’s always margarine, but why settle for somethin’ inferior? You shouldn’t settle for anythin’ less than the quality you’d expect from your bread! [76/99] Jofash Resident: Though, now that I look at it, bread does get a reputation for bein’ a breakfast food. That’s ridiculous! It’s got a place in every meal of the day! [77/99] Jofash Resident: Sandwiches? They’ve got bread in ‘em. Casseroles? Any respectable one has it as a shell. Breadsticks? It’s in the name for cryin’ out loud! [78/99] Jofash Resident: Done right, and it’s also great as a side. I already mentioned having a fresh-ground fresh-baked loaf of whole-grain with a slab of flat-iron steak, but really, a well-sliced loaf and some dippin’ butter can transform a family dinner into a banquet! [79/99] Jofash Resident: They’re almost as versatile as potatoes! Actually, even more so, I’d say! [80/99] Jofash Resident: As my pappy liked to say, a real man’s got to earn his daily bread through his own toilin’. As you can see, I’ve taken his advice to heart! [81/99] Jofash Resident: ...I feel that I’m missin’ somethin’ important that I wanted to discuss. Hang on for a bit, would you? It seems like he’s deep in thought. [3] Bread. [82/99] Jofash Resident: Ah, of course! I can’t believe that I forgot! I wanted to cover some thoughts about bread consistency. [83/99] Jofash Resident: Namely, the two extremes: too chewy, and not chewy enough. I already spoke on hardly chewy bread plenty, but there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing. [84/99] Jofash Resident: And in this case, bread chewiness is a good thing. You don’t want your bread to be too chewy, got it? [85/99] Jofash Resident: Too chewy’s a step right towards bread that’s outright rubbery. Your teeth’ll bounce right off it! [86/99] Jofash Resident: Sure, too much give in the dough’s awkward and sets you up for bitin’ your own tongue, but too firm of a loaf can lead to much of the same. [87/99] Jofash Resident: They always say never bite off more than you could chew, but you oughta be careful not to bite off any less than that, either! [88/99] Jofash Resident: No, just right and chewy’s what you want. Don’t settle for anything more or less! [89/99] Jofash Resident: Hmm, come to think. You seem really interested in discussin’ bread with me! [90/99] Jofash Resident: Lean in for a second, would you? I’ve got somethin’ important to say. He’s waiting expectantly. [3] Bread. [91/99] Jofash Resident: Listening? Right! Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to shout in your ear. [92/99] Jofash Resident: You’re just about the only person that I’ve been able to have an honest conversation about bread with. [93/99] Jofash Resident: Usually, bread gets brushed off as some kind of dull fodder. Dismissed as too borin’ and too plain, I tell you! That’s what leads to unnecessary excess as people try to make it into something that it’s not. [94/99] Jofash Resident: But us? We’re different, we’re visionaries, and we know the truth about what really makes a good loaf! [95/99] Jofash Resident: Tell ‘em off, I say! They can’t follow the thoughts of bread enthusiasts like you and I otherwise! [96/99] Jofash Resident: Ah! Right, never did I get to answerin’ your question. About my favorite type of bread, that is... [97/99] Jofash Resident: Plain ol’ coarse-ground wheat. [98/99] Jofash Resident: Sure, it may be simple, but if you were payin’ any attention at all, you’d know for sure why that’s everythin’ that I’m lookin’ for. [99/99] Jofash Resident: And that just about sums up the basics! Let me know if you want to hear anythin’ more. [3] Bread. [1/564763] Jofash Resident: Let’s continue! Have you ever seen a baker wearin’ a fancy hat? Have you ever wondered how that corresponds to how well they bake bread compared to somethin’ else? You don’t have the time for this.

• • [4] What's with Relend?
    • [1/3] Jofash Resident: Hah! That crazy coot, you're chattin' with that feller?
    • [2/3] Jofash Resident: He's wack-o, y'know... Singing his songs all day, somethin's not right upstairs.
    • [3/3] Jofash Resident: You do you, buddy, but I'd steer clear.

    • [1/3] Jofash Resident: A parrot? You know where you are, right?
    • [2/3] Jofash Resident: I see plenty parrots every day, I don't keep track.
    • [3/3] Jofash Resident: I'll keep an eye or two out for one, though, sound peachy?

• [1/1] Bread Enthusiast: Hey-o! What can I do for ya, human?
  • [1] Who are you?
    • [1/2] Bread Enthusiast: Who am I? Just a humble patron of this fine establishment, 'course!
    • [2/2] Bread Enthusiast: I wasn't particularly busy when I was off in Jofash, so it's nice to take a little break, y'know?
  • [2] What do you think of the festival?
    • [1/7] Bread Enthusiast: Quite the show you lot've put on here! Nothin' like the parties back in Jo's Tavern, mind you.
    • [2/7] Bread Enthusiast: Those can get real crazy, y'know? Though I think I might prefer this place, in all honesty.
    • [3/7] Bread Enthusiast: Some civilized folk here! Not so rough n' rowdy as back in ol' Jofash. Reminds me of my childhood.
    • [4/7] Bread Enthusiast: Back in the day, tillin' the Maltic wheat fields with my pappy. The folk there were always so kind to me. Civil and generous, as a small town community oughtta be!
    • [5/7] Bread Enthusiast: I remember these two lil' old ladies I used t' see every day, I'd walk into the town square to get some more water, and they'd always wave me over and send me home with some fresh apples in my bucket!
    • [6/7] Bread Enthusiast: Real community there, y'know? Haven't seen much a' that since I moved away. Mind you, Jofash ain't so bad! Plenty to drink there, and I ain't talkin' bout water! Ha ha!
    • [7/7] Bread Enthusiast: Ah... oh, yeah, the festival's pretty sweet.
  • [3] Hey, I brought you some bread.
    • [1/5] Bread Enthusiast: O-ho! A humble offering, well don't mind if I d-
    • [2/5] Bread Enthusiast: ...
    • [3/5] Bread Enthusiast: .........
    • [4/5] Bread Enthusiast: Human.
    • [5/5] Bread Enthusiast: This is white bread.
    • He hands your loaf back, and turns away.
  • [4] Thoughts on Detlas bread?

[1/99] Bread Enthusiast: Aw man, really puttin' me on the spot here! [2/99] Bread Enthusiast: For some reason or another, people've been comin' out as bread enthusiasts all over now, and my word's been gospel! [3/99] Bread Enthusiast: Don't want to make or break any businesses nearby just 'cause I didn't like it as much as someplace else. [4/99] Bread Enthusiast: Don't like it, don't buy it, but some people take things to another level, y'know? [5/99] Bread Enthusiast: Of course, I'm confident in what makes a good loaf and what tastes like a loafer's goods, so while I may have some reservations, I'm not gonna hold back! [6/99] Bread Enthusiast: There's plenty of different types of bread nearby! Heck, with all the cookin' stations strewn 'bout, we've got amateur chefs up the wazoo! [7/99] Bread Enthusiast: Helps that there's plenty of fields right outside of town, ripe for the takin'! Makes me nostalgic, it does. [8/99] Bread Enthusiast: ...why don't the farmers care 'bout people stealin' their crops? As my pappy once said, there's two types of farmers: ones that confront the heavily armed soldier and ones that are livin'. [9/99] Bread Enthusiast: Loss of his mates must've hit him hard. Probably harder than the clods hit his mates. [10/99] Bread Enthusiast: Anyway, given the airship dock headin' straight to Cinfras, I can't say that there's only winners here, but not all's bad. [11/99] Bread Enthusiast: Really, professionals can't ever beat the enthusiasts! Unless you've got yourself a professional enthusiast. [12/99] Bread Enthusiast: From the looks of things, the bread here's alright as long as you don't go off and order somethin' that you don't think that I won't think that you'll like. Take it from me! [13/99] Bread Enthusiast: Not literally, of course. A man's gotta enjoy his own bread, too! [1] What's your favorite here? [14/99] Bread Enthusiast: Honestly, with all of the variety, it's hard to tell! [15/99] Bread Enthusiast: Course, I'd stick with my own good-old recipe for coarse, but that'd be cheatin'. [16/99] Bread Enthusiast: I s'pose it'd be Maltic bread in the first place... [17/99] Bread Enthusiast: So, Detlas bread then. Hm. [18/99] Bread Enthusiast: This bar... what was it again? The Crippled Conscript? The Slackin' Soldier? Sorry, I've been drinkin'. [19/99] Bread Enthusiast: Whatever it was, this bar serves a great drink! It'd make my pappy proud. [20/99] Bread Enthusiast: What's more, the bread they have is just perfect! No frills, no fancy preppin', just the fresh-baked taste of raw grain and pure sweat! They're probably not sellin' right now, though. [21/99] Bread Enthusiast: Not literally. Raw bread's too chewy and I don't want to find out what a sweaty bread would taste like. [22/99] Bread Enthusiast: Anyway, besides my favorite, there's some other things I'd like to mention. [2] What's your least favorite here? [14/99] Bread Enthusiast: You know what, I really haven't seen too much wrong with the majority of the bread here. [15/99] Bread Enthusiast: Key word in there, MAJORITY... There is ONE scourge of wheat that follows me wherever I seem to go, and that is WHITE BREAD. [16/99] Bread Enthusiast: Now, if you know ANYTHING 'bout me, or even 'bout bread, you know that white bread is anything but sugar, sin, and DISAPPOINTMENT. How one could choose white bread over anything else baffles me, honestly! [17/99] Bread Enthusiast: It doesn't take a genius to know this, folks! If you leave a loaf of bread out for weeks on end, it should go bad! That's the way of the universe, not to be trifled with! White bread breaks this and every other law in the book. [18/99] Bread Enthusiast: And unfortunately, I have had the displeasure of spotting it here. What I had come to believe was a haven of culture and taste. What a disappointment. [19/99] Bread Enthusiast: Oh? What's that? Bread is supposed to be a healthy food for everyone to enjoy, huh? Well guess what! White bread has less nutrition than most desserts! Instead of a filling product of good, honest work, you get acid reflux and constipation! [20/99] Bread Enthusiast: Oh? Did you say honest work? Too bad, bucko! White bread is so processed, I have my doubts it even comes outta the ground! [21/99] Bread Enthusiast: Absolutely disgusting, abhorrent, and... ah, sorry. I think I went a bit off track. To answer your question, white bread is my least favorite I've seen thus far. [22/99] Bread Enthusiast: Anyway, besides my least favorite, there's some other things I'd like to mention. [3] I have to go... [1/1] Bread Enthusiast: Aw... Hey, no worries buddy! I'll be right here next you wanna talk! [23/99] Bread Enthusiast: Detlas's the trade capital of the province, for one. Sure, there's the local stuff, but really, there's all kinds of strokes of different folks! [24/99] Bread Enthusiast: Heck, what you can find'll change from day to day! [25/99] Bread Enthusiast: Just 'cause you have a favorite doesn't mean you're limited to it. [26/99] Bread Enthusiast: Always try new things! Can't know what you'll like if you don't. [27/99] Bread Enthusiast: And don't forget to lend an ear to other people! You're listenin' to my thoughts, yeah? [28/99] Bread Enthusiast: Sure, there may be some differences in opinion, but they're usually just a matter of taste. [29/99] Bread Enthusiast: Unless their opinion is that they like white bread. Clock 'em once for me, eh? Haha! Just kidding... [30/99] Bread Enthusiast: I really oughtta make a system that'll let me rank my preferences. Mind, not just a there-and-done peckin' order, but different qualities, too! [31/99] Bread Enthusiast: S'pose you're a fan of harder breads, but one day, your teeth just won't stop complainin'. [32/99] Bread Enthusiast: Well, we all have the odd toothache, so why not choose 'em based on taste instead of texture? [33/99] Bread Enthusiast: Though, now that I think 'bout it, choosin' by texture over taste's only someone with a sore tooth'd do in the first place. [34/99] Bread Enthusiast: You get my point, don'tcha? [1] It makes perfect sense. [35/99] Bread Enthusiast: Right? This ol' rat race for taste is what even led to all those hoity-toity pastry puffers out 'n 'bout 'round the upper crust of town. [36/99] Bread Enthusiast: Heh, "upper crust." Man, am I good. [37/99] Bread Enthusiast: There's so much to look for! You just gotta know what to look for! [38/99] Bread Enthusiast: As my pappy said, bread's only as sophisticated as the person tastin' it. [39/99] Bread Enthusiast: You focus on one thing, you lose sight of all the little details that help bring it together. [40/99] Bread Enthusiast: How pipin' hot is it served? How thick is the crust? How long d'you let it rise? All affect how it turns out, and just taste alone can't account for the whole taste! [41/99] Bread Enthusiast: There's so much to look for! Addin' a harvest's worth of sugar's just fancy flashin' and distraction! [42/99] Bread Enthusiast: But enough 'bout rankin'! [2] Why bother? [35/99] Bread Enthusiast: Why bother? WHY BOTHER? [36/99] Bread Enthusiast: Have you even been listenin' to me? Payin' attention to this sort of stuff is what sets us apart from the cattle! [37/99] Bread Enthusiast: A refined taste, someone who knows what they want, and will work for it. That's a person that can demand respect. [38/99] Bread Enthusiast: That's a person that eats proper bread. What sets enthusiasts apart from the sheeple. [39/99] Bread Enthusiast: Sheeple. That's Sheep-People, referring of course to the crowd-controlled movement of a flock of sheep. [40/99] Bread Enthusiast: We don't move with the crowd! We're individuals! Visionaries! We have taste buds, we ought to use 'em! [41/99] Bread Enthusiast: If you find yourself askin' 'why bother,' stop it, and instead ask yourself this. [42/99] Bread Enthusiast: Am I a fool who eats slop? An imbecile eating garbage? Or am I a free thinker who eats proper food. Good food. But enough 'bout rankin'! [3] I have to go... [1/1] Bread Enthusiast: Aw... Hey, no worries buddy! I'll be right here next you wanna talk! [43/99] Bread Enthusiast: Y'know, I had half a mind to prep up some bread for this festival. [44/99] Bread Enthusiast: But then I thought, hey, might as well enjoy the occasion! [45/99] Bread Enthusiast: Can't try new things when you're the one makin' em, or something. [46/99] Bread Enthusiast: I'm not tryin' to think too deeply, here. Just statin' the obvious. [47/99] Bread Enthusiast: There's quite a bit of people 'round, and that means quite a bit of people to talk 'bout bread to. [48/99] Bread Enthusiast: 'Course, they don't always listen, and what's there to do but move on? Don't need to mess 'round with people without open minds! [49/99] Bread Enthusiast: But those who do listen, or at least try to, that's where the real pals are at! [50/99] Bread Enthusiast: Why, I've gone and told my rigamarole, even back in Jofash, and you're still 'round, aren'tcha? I'll always appreciate a fellow bread enthusiast. [51/99] Bread Enthusiast: The strangest things unite us. Common interests, common hatreds, heck, anythin' goes! [52/99] Bread Enthusiast: Like bread, hate white bread, simple as! I'm a simple man. [53/99] Bread Enthusiast: But it's not too bad to live simply. Less to worry 'bout, more time to think. [54/99] Bread Enthusiast: Then again, you're one of 'em soldier folk, so your simple's probably my disaster. [55/99] Bread Enthusiast: Take what you can get! Find a hobby or two. As my pappy said, it's fine to work hard, but you gotta let the crops grow on their own, yeah? [1] I understand. [56/99] Bread Enthusiast: Yeah? Why don'tcha show it then, lookin' all grim-like over there! [57/99] Bread Enthusiast: There's plenty to do 'round here! Plenty to eat, too! 'Course, I'm just hangin' 'round the bar, but still! [58/99] Bread Enthusiast: Go on out there and have some fun! I may not look like it, but I'm havin' the time of my life! [59/99] Bread Enthusiast: And you oughtta do the same. This festival isn't gonna last forever! [60/99] Bread Enthusiast: I don't mean to preach. I'm just a humble worker and breadwinner, in more ways than one. [2] I'm too busy. [56/99] Bread Enthusiast: Aw, come on! That's the lame answer. [57/99] Bread Enthusiast: Nobody's too busy for themselves, and if you are, stop! You're important too, ya know? Take some time to ease up! [58/99] Bread Enthusiast: If you work all day and don't ever relax, you'll... probably be really tired! And cranky! I know I would be! [59/99] Bread Enthusiast: Even when I was out in the farm, I took breaks! My pappy was real accommodation' cause he knows what's actually important is mental wellness. The grain can wait! [60/99] Bread Enthusiast: So why don't you take another look at your schedule and tell me you're too busy. You've got the time, just prioritize! [3] I have to go... [1/1] Bread Enthusiast: Aw... Hey, no worries buddy! I'll be right here next you wanna talk! [61/99] Bread Enthusiast: Ah, I didn't mean to go off on some heavy stuff there. Got a bit sidetracked. [62/99] Bread Enthusiast: Did you know that bread's one of the first foods to come 'bout? It's been 'round almost as long as we have! [63/99] Bread Enthusiast: Makes sense when you think 'bout it. Eatin' raw grain's just plain miserable! [64/99] Bread Enthusiast: Speakin' from experience. Rite of passage if you grew up 'round farmin'. [65/99] Bread Enthusiast: But, yeah! Bread's got quite the history behind it! [66/99] Bread Enthusiast: Gatherin' 'round a fire, talkin' it up while waitin' for the dough to brown. [67/99] Bread Enthusiast: A great way to socialize! Kinda reminds me of somethin' nearby, heh. [68/99] Bread Enthusiast: Really, what the specialty grain-wastin' garbage's too impersonal. It's just another job, just another product. [69/99] Bread Enthusiast: Where's the passion in just makin' and servin'? Have a little more respect for yourself, your customers, and especially your bread! [70/99] Bread Enthusiast: It's enough to make a grown man cry. Sharin' recipes? Nope! Trade secrets, or some money-grubbin' claptrap like that. [71/99] Bread Enthusiast: What's the point to makin' a new type of bread if you're gonna gatekeep who gets to enjoy it? How's anyone supposed to improve it? [72/99] Bread Enthusiast: And we all know that "Seven Colors of the Grainbow" needs improvin'. [1] Why don't you try selling bread? [73/99] Bread Enthusiast: You kiddin' me? With all the money bein' thrown around Gavel, I wouldn't last two days! [74/99] Bread Enthusiast: I'd be run out of business, or run into prison, or suffer some crazy bread-related accident. [75/99] Bread Enthusiast: Besides, it'd go against what I stand for! If I bake, I do it to share, not to sell. [76/99] Bread Enthusiast: You run a business, you'll end up makin' more than anyone can eat, and in the end you'll just dump the extra off the Sky Islands. [77/99] Bread Enthusiast: I won't stand for wastin' perfectly good bread like that. No, not on my pappy's name! [2] Any stories about baking bread with your "pappy"? [73/99] Bread Enthusiast: Oh, you better stop me, I might never stop talkin'! [74/99] Bread Enthusiast: My pappy was a real smart man, heck, he taught me just 'bout everythin' I know! So you can bet your bread I got some stories from growin' up on the farm! [75/99] Bread Enthusiast: Like the time I was tossin' stones one day, and all of a sudden, a wave of heat like nothin' I'd ever felt before hits me square in the face! [76/99] Bread Enthusiast: Thankfully my pappy was just comin' back from the well that day, and could put out the blaze quickly. Needless to say I was the one walkin' back to town to get another bucket. [77/99] Bread Enthusiast: Yeah! Guess my rock'd sparked after I'd tossed it, and caught the wheat on fire! Not what I signed up for as a farmer, I'll tell ya what. Thankfully it weren't too bad, would'a been a real waste of good bread. [3] I have to go... [1/1] Bread Enthusiast: Aw... Hey, no worries buddy! I'll be right here next you wanna talk! [78/99] Bread Enthusiast: Though, that does remind me of somethin'. [79/99] Bread Enthusiast: Somethin' that'd be good to know. Take it from me, yeah? [80/99] Bread Enthusiast: How to tell a genuine enthusiast from a wannabe! And I'm not talkin' 'bout a greenhorn, here. [81/99] Bread Enthusiast: This goes beyond just bread, y'hear? I'm not gonna go 'round claimin' that bread's all there to life, much as I wish that it were the case. [82/99] Bread Enthusiast: Probably one of the best bits of advice my pappy gave me! He'd be proud to know that you're hearin' it. [83/99] Bread Enthusiast: A genuine enthusiast understands that everyone's different. There's no one-bread-feeds-all here, not at all! [84/99] Bread Enthusiast: I mentioned this before 'bout matters of taste, but I gotta emphasize matters of values, too! [85/99] Bread Enthusiast: Sure, it's important to share your piece, but it's just as important to listen to others! [86/99] Bread Enthusiast: No shame in listenin' to those who know less, and there's no shame in knowin' less. [87/99] Bread Enthusiast: But the wannabes just wanna use their status as an enthusiast to shove around others. They won't listen, 'cause they want to think that they know all there is! [88/99] Bread Enthusiast: The real enthusiasts? They wanna share cause they wanna share, no more, no less! Nothin' beyond that. [89/99] Bread Enthusiast: Just keep this in mind, and I think you'll come to appreciate things a little more. [90/99] Bread Enthusiast: Anyway, I've got some time left for one last question. Then it's back to drinkin' for me! [1] Thoughts on airship food? [91/99] Bread Enthusiast: What is this, a comedy setup? Get outta here! [92/99] Bread Enthusiast: If you can't think of anythin' to say, you don't need to force yourself. Go out and have some fun! [93/99] Bread Enthusiast: I must admit, airship food gets a bad rep. Sure, it's terrible, but that's not the food's fault. [94/99] Bread Enthusiast: It's gotta last long and be fast to make and serve. For its purpose, it does just fine! [95/99] Bread Enthusiast: Though I wouldn't get out of my way to try it. I have standards, yeah? [96/99] Bread Enthusiast: Even the gourmet stuff made by expert chefs gets all butchered up. It's just a matter of priorities! [97/99] Bread Enthusiast: Though I do wish they'd serve stuff beyond white bread. It's already inedible as is, and they somehow make it worse! [2] Why did you move to Jofash? [91/99] Bread Enthusiast: Ah... You really hittin' me with this one? [92/99] Bread Enthusiast: I never claimed to be a man of incredibly high prestige or status. Heck, I think I'm just about at the bottom of the food chain. Even still I ain't all that prideful to answer this. [93/99] Bread Enthusiast: You've done the courtesy of listenin' to me all this time, though, so I'll honor your question. [94/99] Bread Enthusiast: Jofash has a real sweet bar. [95/99] Bread Enthusiast: I mean, look where I am now! This place is great n' all, but you just can't beat Jofash. [96/99] Bread Enthusiast: Livin' in Maltic I'd even sometimes meet sailors who tell me 'bout the places they've been, and Jofash has always been up there! [97/99] Bread Enthusiast: Maltic Scotch is one thing, but since I moved out I've been a staunch rumrunner. Can't beat it! [3] I have to go... [1/1] Bread Enthusiast: Aw... Hey, no worries buddy! I'll be right here next you wanna talk! [98/99] Bread Enthusiast: If that's all, then you don't need to stick 'round. I'm not goin' anywhere, after all! [99/99] Bread Enthusiast: After all, this rum's not gonna drink itself, heheh!
