2 Hello, madam. Might I ask who you are? |
3 Greetings, Ms. Beston. Might I speak with you a moment? |
4 Please, madam! Our first meeting, and already harsh words? |
5 Ms. Beston! Such language from a lady! |
7 Uh, hi lady! Who you? |
8 Hey, Beston lady! I ask you questions? |
11 [This woman looks at you, wide-eyed, then seems to regain her composure.] Yes, of course. I am Delores Beston, spirit medium and teller of future things! I live here to serve the good and noble citizens of Tarant...to make things clearer when they are dark, to call for help when it is needed. How may I help you? |

12 Could I ask you a few questions, Delores? |
14 Hi Delores! I ask you questions...? |
17 [The woman seems frightened to see you.] I'm sorry...I didn't mean to offend you. Perhaps this is a testament to the unreliability of first impressions...please, forgive me... |

18 It's already forgotten, madam. Might I ask who you are? |
21 Oh...I'm so sorry. You've been here before! Please...forgive the outburst... |
21 Oh...I'm so sorry. You've been here before! Please...forgive the outburst... |
22 Don't fret over it, Delores. Have a moment to spare? |
25 Of course... |
25 Of course... |
26 What is it you do here? |
27 Can you tell me about my future? |
28 I've come to talk about your offer to find the crystal ball... |
29 I may need your help in finding that crystal ball... |
30 I'm still looking for the crystal ball... |
31 I've returned with the crystal ball... |
32 I've returned with the crystal ball... |
33 I have something for you, Delores... |
34 What you do here, lady? |
35 You tell me my future, lady? |
36 Mebbe I help you find crystal ball? |
37 I need help finding ball! |
38 Still looking for ball! |
39 Found ball, lady! |
40 Found ball, lady! |
41 I got sumthin' for you, lady! |
44 I talk with spirits, look into the far-flung future to see what it holds for those who dare to look! I am a guide in the nether-realms, a mistress in the medium of the mysterious! |

45 Who are some of your clients? |
46 Could you read MY future? |
47 Sorry to say so, but I think the whole business is rubbish... |
48 A few more questions... |
50 Uh...you see my future, lady? |
51 More questions! |
54 [She seems a little put off with you.] I suppose it's natural to feel a little skeptical of our profession, but there's no need to be rude... |

55 I'm no skeptic...I just think YOU are a fake... |
56 Forgive me. Please, tell me of some of your clients... |
57 A few more questions... |
59 Well...I've never...how dare you! I serve some of the most influential ladies in all of Tarant! You know nothing of me! |
59 Well...I've never...how dare you! I serve some of the most influential ladies in all of Tarant! You know nothing of me! |
60 I'd sooner consult a plate of shepherd's pie. You're a hoax. |
61 I'm sorry. Who did you say your clients were? |
62 A few more questions... |
64 I'll not say another word to you! I don't need this sort of abuse! |
64 I'll not say another word to you! I don't need this sort of abuse! |
65 You've worn out your welcome here, madam. Find company elsewhere, please. |
65 You've worn out your welcome here, sir. Find company elsewhere, please. |
67 Oh, I serve most of the affluent families here in Tarant...the Willoughsbys, the Garringsburgs...the ladies all trust me, and I do what I can to lead them away from troublesome waters... |

68 Could you read MY future? |
69 A few more questions... |
71 I'm very sorry, but currently I'm having a problem with my crystal ball. I dropped it the other day, and my visions have been foggy and unclear ever since. I've looked into finding another one, but, as you might guess, a crystal ball is a rare commodity... |

72 I'd assume so. Perhaps I could assist you in finding another? |
73 A few more questions... |
75 Mebbe I find you one! |
76 More questions! |
81 [She smiles, mysteriously.] Yes, I thought you might say that. I have a feeling for such things, you know. From the moment you walked in here, I knew you were something special... |

82 Let's not get carried away, madam... |
83 Uh...whatever you say... |
85 I understand...not everyone is a believer. In any case...I would very much appreciate your help. If you were to find me a new crystal ball, I'll pay you 200 gold pieces. What do you say? |

86 Interesting. I happen to have a crystal ball right here... |
87 Of course...I'd be glad to assist you. |
88 I'll think about it. A few more questions...? |
90 I have crystal ball! |
91 Yeah! I help you lady! |
92 I think about it. More questions! |
95 Splendid! Now...I may be able to assist you in finding one. As I told you, my crystal ball is not working correctly, but sometimes a physical piece of the person I am viewing helps to clear the vision. Might I have a lock of your hair? |

96 Of course. |
97 I don't think that's necessary. I'll rely on my wits. Good day... |
98 Sure! |
99 I need no magick! I find ball by myself! Buh-bye! |
101 [She laughs.] Still an unbeliever? Oh well...I wish you luck on your search. Return here if you find you need some guidance... |
101 [She laughs.] Still an unbeliever? Oh well...I wish you luck on your search. Return here if you find you need some guidance... |
105 Wonderful! [She takes out a scissors and cuts a small lock of your hair.] Now...we look into the ball, see what is to be seen. [She stares intently, waving the lock in front of her face.] Cloudy, but something is coming clear...yes! I see where you might be able to procure a ball...! |

106 Where? |
107 Where ball? |
109 In the warehouse district...I see the bordello...there! A small shop just beside it...I see a sign...Madame Toussaude's! Within that shop is a crystal ball! Find Madame Toussaude and you will find a crystal ball! |

110 Madame Toussaude? Do you know anything of her? |
111 Who Ma-d-da-a-me To-o-sow-w-de? |
114 I can't say I've ever heard of her myself...there are so many self-proclaimed soothsayers in Tarant. More than likely she's some fly-by-night gypsy, out to make a quick buck. BUT! Be careful...you never know what to expect from these nomads... |

115 My thanks. A few more questions... |
116 I will, dear lady. Thank you for the advice. I'll return later... |
117 Okay! More questions! |
118 I will lady! I come back later! |
120 Well, I hope you find it soon...business has been bad since the old one broke. Is there anything else I can help you with? |

121 Yes...A few more questions... |
123 More questions! |
125 [She looks surprised.] That's...well, that's just grand! Here's the payment. [She hands you 200 gold pieces.] Where did you get it? |

126 Madame Toussaude, a medium in the warehouse district... |
127 Uh...some weird lady...To-os-s-ow-wde...? |
129 Hahahahahaha! The old crone! She knew absolutely nothing at all! I knew she was a fake from the very beginning...! |

130 I'm sorry...what do you mean? |
131 Uh...what? |
133 Oh, if you must know...I'd heard rumors about her around town...people saying she could actually see the future! Rubbish! No one can REALLY see anything...it's all an act! I lie to those old ladies all day long...tell them exactly what they want to hear! So, I went to this Madame Toussaude, and I told her I wanted her to see MY future... |

134 And what did she say? |
135 What she tell you? |
137 She told me that a stranger would walk into my store one day, and that he would be my death. Can you believe it? My death! So, when I saw you come in here, you can imagine my surprise...and my fears... |

138 Of course... |
139 Uh-huh... |
141 But don't you see the irony? You've gone and killed her! SHE was the one who needed to fear you...not me! I broke my own crystal ball, just in case someone did show up...and in the end, you kill HER, and I get her crystal ball thrown in just for good measure! HA! So much for old Madame Toussaude... |

142 Yes...well I'm glad it all worked out for you. Good day. |
143 Uh...okay! Buh-bye! |
144 Yes...but she cursed me on her death! And it's YOUR fault! |
145 Uh...she gave me curse! 'Cause of you! |
146 I never said she was dead, Delores... |
147 Uh...who said she dead, lady? |
149 Wh-h-at? How did you get the ball...? |
149 Wh-h-at? How did you get the ball...? |
150 She gave it to me. To give to you... |
151 She say she want YOU to have it... |
153 I don't...no...please...get it away from me...! |
153 I don't...no...please...get it away from me...! |
154 It's a gift, Delores. Just for you...[You hand it to her.] |
155 No...she REALLY want you to have it...[You hand it to her.] |
156 [Delores shudders at the touch of the ball. Then her limbs stiffen, her hands white-knuckled and grasping the sphere. Her eyes go wide, then a dull blankness washes over them--either from fear or otherwise, she falls dead.] |

159 [She backs away.] Cursed you? I'm so very sorry...really, if there was anything I could do... |
160 I'm sure there's not. And that's the problem... |
161 I just thought you should know. Good day to you... |
162 You GONNA be sorry... |
163 Uh, that's okay. Buh-bye... |
165 Get away from me! I've nothing to do with all of that...I was just watching my own back! It's not my fault! |
165 Get away from me! I've nothing to do with all of that...I was just watching my own back! It's not my fault! |
166 Madame Toussaude was right all along. I'm going to kill you... |
167 You might be right. Good day to you. |
168 I kill you now, lady. |
169 To-o-sowd-de right...I gonna kill you... |
171 Help! Help! I'm being attacked! |
171 Help! Help! I'm being attacked! |
