Chips for Dinner: Bad Idea

midlife_crisis_ricky

Hey, how’s it going? Do you feel rested and ready? You don’t have any aches and pains from working out, right?

Pfft. Of course I don’t have any aches and pains… I’ve got a really bad stomachache though, perhaps it’s all the chips?

I ate tons of chips last night, they’re so tasty! But you were right about how it might not be the best diet, because I never get properly full from just chips. In the future I won’t bother with chips for dinner.

Now it’s almost time for the qualifiers for districts! I’m starting to worry a little about how I should probably have trained more. If I do this, I swear I’ll practice my technique every day.

Are you sure you want to come along with me to district qualifiers?

Thanks so much!

You’re right Rita, we need to get going right away so that we don’t turn up late.

Come on, let’s go. It’s not far, just in the same place we trained over by the Bulldogz clubhouse.

Objectives: Follow Ricky to the competition area.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Where Should We Start?

midlife_crisis_ricky

Okay, what should I get started with? Should I warm up or drink water? I guess I could eat something… Or what do you think I should start with Rita?

Registration? Yes of course! You’re right. I need to sign up for the competition…

Ohhh, I can hardly hold the pen! This is like my third try at writing my name and I’m so nervous I can barely remember how to spell Ricky! Right. It’s R-I-H… No. R-I-K…?

You’ll sign me up, you say? Oh gosh, thanks haha!

What a great idea! If you sign me up, I’ll go and try to calm myself down. Sounds good.

Of course! Think Nathalie’s going to arrive any minute. If you see her, could you say I’ve gone to warm up?

Thanks! Sign me up first so that I’m registered for the competition. Here, you can take this pen.

Objectives: Sign Ricky up for the competition.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Hey Rita!

How nice of you to come along with Rick. I think he needs your support. 

Quest competed

______________

As Nervous as a Guy Can Be!

nathalie_moonriver

I also came here to be supportive for Ricky. I think he needs it! I hope it goes well for him, but win or lose, he needs us on his side cheering for him!

We should probably go over to him now before he faints from all the nerves.

Objectives: Talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Head into the paddock and find Ricky near the fight ring that has been constructed in the middle.

______________

What If My Best Isn’t Enough?

midlife_crisis_ricky

Rita! I’m so worried that I’m not gonna be able to do this. Just imagine, what if it’s like my last competition? What if I lose? What will I do then?

What do you mean just do my best? You mean, if I just do my best, it won’t matter whether I win or lose because I’ll be a winner anyway? What are you talking about? What use is it to do your best if you don’t even win?

You mean it’s a victory in itself that I’m even trying to get back into it?

But the stables? And Nathalie? The debts? I need to win to be able to help out!

(You should maybe try to calm Ricky down, otherwise there’s a risk he’ll never get focused enough before the competition begins.)

Objectives: Calm Ricky down.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Ricky Winterwell

Give Ricky a hug and assure him that it will be all okay.

Match 1 : Round 1

midlife_crisis_ricky

Okay, there’s the first bell, that means it’s time for e to get up into the ring When the second bell goes, that means the first round of the first match will begin!

I’ll do as you said Rita, just get up there and do my best!

Promise you’ll stay and watch for the whole match? Thanks Rita! Now I know you and Nathalie are here to support me, I’ll have some extra fire in the ring!

I need to go now, but keep your fingers crossed for me! I won’t let you or Nathalie down!

My Throat is Totally Dry!

I’m in nowhere near the shape I was before, and my throat! It’s as dry as a bone!

Tactic Talk: Talking Tactics

midlife_crisis_ricky

Hey, I need to ask you something before the next round begins.

As I’m sure you saw, not much happened during the first round. Feels like we’re pretty even and I don’t quite know how I should push ahead in the next round to get the winning edge. 

Exactly! It’s a tactic talk I want! You’re almost like a coach to me, haha! Well except for I’ve won a little more often than you and Summerblaze…

You don’t need to look at me like that. What do you think I should do next? How about we set out the tactics? Quick, I need help on how I should be thinking…

Objectives: Talk tactics with Ricky.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

The First Signal

midlife_crisis_ricky

Oh! Did you hear? There goes the first bell, that means I need to be up in the ring again before the second bell.

Could I ask you one more favor?

Thanks Rita! Wish me luck!

Match 1 : Round 2

nathalie_moonriver

The second bell’s gonna go any second. Oh I’m so worried for Ricky, imagine if he gets injured! I should never have made him do this.

You think he’s gonna do well?

You’re right Rita, we need to believe in Ricky. If we stop believing in him, how’s he ever gonna make it through the whole contest? Thanks for reminding me, you and me need to stay strong for Ricky!

Eeeep! The second bell!

Thanks for coming to stand with me during the match. I don’t know what I would have done on my own.

Come on RICKY!!

Jessica Lunar

midlife_crisis_ricky

Nathalie!! I won!! I’m so happy!! I made it through the first match!

Did you see that? I’ll never forget this. He was just standing there like… And I was totally… And then, like…

Haha, you’re right Rita, you saw it all for yourselves.

Now there’s just one match left, and if I can make it through that, I’ll have qualified for the championships. Can you imagine? I’m just one match away from being in the district championships!

Thanks Rita for all your help. The training has really shown results! Haha! I might not be in as good shape as before, but I still won! HAHA!

Wait! Who’s that? That’s not who I think it is, is it? Can that woman on her way over to us really be Jessica Lunar?

Objectives: Talk to Jessica Lunar.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Ricky Winterwell

Who could this new person be?

jessica_luna

Hey Ricky! It’s been a while… Nice match!

Quest completed

______________

Welcome Back Ricky!

jessica_luna

Never thought I’d see you in a Jor-jistu match again after you disappeared, Ricky… How long have you been away?

Way too long if you ask me. Happy to see you back.

I’ve wanted to tell you for so long that I’m really sad you lost your paddock and that Epona Kai was shut down. I’d have to you earlier, but you disappeared completely!

I’m happy to see you back though, because now I can get my revenge on you. You’ve got no idea how long I’ve waited to get you in a real match, Ricky. Ever since you beat me in that match a few years ago, I’ve always promised myself that I’d meet you in a match one day and win.

I swear to you Ricky, the match we’ve got now isn’t gonna be easy, and I’m counting on your giving it your all.

Good! One thing though. When I win, I promise you I’ll defeat Ivan Drake for us both. You’ve got no idea how much that man dishonors our beautiful martial art. I’m not alone in thinking that, so for everyone everywhere who practices Jor-jitsu, I swear I’ll defeat him.

That sounded like the first bell. See you in the ring! And don’t hold back, because I certainly won’t.

Objectives: Talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Ricky Winterwell

Nothing like some good-natured smack talk before a match!

midlife_crisis_ricky

Absolutely Jessica! See you in the ring!

You’re not gonna win though! HA! Ricky’s BACK!

Quest completed

______________

Match 2 : Round 1

midlife_crisis_ricky

That was Jessica Lunar. I met her ages and ages ago during some kind of contest way back when I was training under Master Lucia. She’s a worthy competitor, even if her tactics and technique can’t be compared to Master Lucia’s and mine.

So now I feel pretty relaxed ahead of this match, I’ve already beaten her once, so how hard can it be to win again?

Don’t look so unsure Rita! You don’t need to look at me in the same way as you did when we discussed Summerblaze and pushups. Take a seat instead and watch the match with Nathalie, because the first bell’s already gone and I need to get into the ring.

You’ll see, Jessica’s not gonna be a problem for me. 

Objectives: Watch the first round, then talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Ricky Winterwell

Hope you haven’t finished your popcorn just yet.

midlife_crisis_ricky

HA! See how well that went?! I’ll went the next round and get to the district championships!

Quest completed

______________

Can’t Be a Wet Winner

midlife_crisis_ricky

Whew.

This feels good! You saw yourself how easy it was to win the first round against Jessica. Hey, listen tough – I’m sweating like a pig! Could you pass me my towel?

Why do I want my towel? Come on, I can’t be soaking wet when I win, can I? You don’t think I should be so cocky? HA! Don’t worry Rita, you saw it yourself, I’m gonna win this easily.

My towel is over there by the bench, next to my bag.

Objectives: Fetch Ricky’s towel.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Ricky Winterwell

When will you learn to trust my mystical feminine intuition?

midlife_crisis_ricky

Get Ricky’s towel from the same bag as you got his water bottle, then return to him with it.

Thanks!

Nice to be able to dry off some of this sweat. I wanna look my best when I win!

Quest completed

______________

Film Me When I Win!

midlife_crisis_ricky

Haha! I can hardly believe it Rita! I’m gonna be the district championships!

Huh? You don’t think I should count my chickens before they hatch? Come on! You’ve become so negative all of a sudden! Suppose you’re just gonna stop doing pushups just like Summerblaze, just because you can’t do them… Pfft.

Relax Rita, the first round against Jessica was super easy. I’ll definitely win the second round now.

Tactics? Pfft! We don’t need to talk tactics now Rita! Haven’t you seen how well I’ve been doing?

If there’s one thing I do need, it’s my phone. Or at least that Nathalie gets my phone.

What she needs my phone for? So she can film me when I win of course! What else? We need to record the moment when I, after a long break, come back and wipe the floor with my opponents and go straight to the championships!

So you’ll grab my phone from my bag and give it to Nathalie? Great.

Objectives: Fetch Ricky’s phone and give it to Nathalie.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 30 with Ricky Winterwell

There is something as being TOO confident…

nathalie_moonriver

Umm, what? Ricky asked me to film him when he wins?

Wow, that’s pretty cocky…

Quest completed

______________

Match 2 : Round 2

nathalie_moonriver

Hmm, well it’s pretty good that Ricky is a little more confident, but I agree with you Rita. It’s risky to be too cocky, he hasn’t won yet…

You’re right though! We need to support him, doesn’t matter how it goes…

Oh Rita, I’m so worried for him. I don’t know if you’ve heard about this, but the reason he lost the final to Ivan was because he was too overconfident. Master Lucia said before she died that Ricky wasn’t ready for the Jorvik championship by a long way. He applied for it anyway, and since everything was going so well for him, he thought he’d win.

Even at the beginning of the final against Ivan, Ricky was totally in the lead and everyone thought he was gonna win it all after the first round… But then it all changed.

You’re right though Rita, there’s nothing we can do. We just need to hope for the best for Ricky and that he can win.

Oh! Did you hear that? The second bell! Thanks for staying with me Rita. I don’t think I could watch this all alone. Oh, please let him win!!

Come on Ricky! We’re here for you! You’re the BEST!!

Objectives: Watch the next round then talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Ricky Winterwell

Can’t help eat the popcorn nervously as this round doesn’t go as well.

midlife_crisis_ricky

Ouch! What happened? How did she come back so fast and so strong? I thought I was gonna win it…

If she’s like that in the next round, I’ve got no chance…

Quest completed

______________

First Loss

midlife_crisis_ricky

Whew.

Ouch. Rita, did you see what happened?

Gasp. Gulp.

How could I lose? It was going so well, this is impossible…

(You should maybe grab some water for Ricky while he processes what just happened…)

Objectives: Fetch water for Ricky.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Ricky Winterwell

It seems hubris got the best of him…

Bring him his water bottle again from his bag.

midlife_crisis_ricky

Umm? Water? Okay thanks Rita. Gulp, gulp, gulp.

Quest completed

______________

It’s Not Over Yet!

midlife_crisis_ricky

Thanks Rita, I needed to rehydrate!

But I don’t understand, how could I lose? Everything was going so well! What am I going to do now? The bell’s gonna go soon and Jessica and I are completely level. She just needs to win the next round to take the whole match!

What do you mean that the match isn’t over yet? Come on Rita, you saw how good she was.

You’ve got an idea for how to win? Tell me!

You think we should talk tactics like last time? Hmm, yeah… It went well last time. 

Okay! I’m listening! Tell me what to do, coach!

Objectives: Talk tactics with Ricky.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Ricky Winterwell

Again choose which tactic you like the best; the outcome is the same.

Quest completed

______________

Match 2 : Round 3

midlife_crisis_ricky

No, now the first bell has rung! I need to get back up into the ring, but I’ll definitely do what you just told me to do.

I’ll do my very best Rita, I promise!

You’re right, I’ll think positive, I’ll think like a winner, because I wanna be a winner!

This match is the one…

Objectives: Watch the third round then talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Ricky Winterwell

He has finally found some true, good confidence. Go Ricky!

midlife_crisis_ricky

I can’t believe it. I won.

Rita… I’m going to the district championships!!

Quest completed

______________

Next Stop: District Championships!

midlife_crisis_ricky

Rita, I can hardly believe it. It’s really true. I’ve won and I’m in the district championships! I’m finally there!

The chance for me to save the stables is now bigger than ever! How good are we?! What a team! We need to carry on training so that I’m ready for the districts, even if I should be able to get through to it now anyway.

Yeah yeah, calm down Rita. I promise I’ll train every single day. I don’t want to be in that position again like I was with Jessica, where everything’s hanging on one round.

Oh there’s Jessica now. Hope she’s not too angry about losing.

Objectives: Talk to Jessica Lunar.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Ricky Winterwell

She is full of good sportsmanship, I hardly think she would be angry at losing fair and square.

jessica_luna

Congrats, Ricky.

______________

A Promise to Win

jessica_luna

Just came by to say thanks for a good match.

I honestly thought I was gonna win, but you came back. Nice job!

Thanks for such a good match Ricky. I’m gonna train even more now so next time we meet, you’ll have an even tougher time against me.

You need to promise me something now Ricky. Now you’ve beaten me, you need to promise me you’ll get to the final and beat Ivan Drake. He’s been harassing lots of members of my club and he’s trying to buy the clubhouse from underneath us. Promise me you’ll beat him and crush his club Total Destruction.

I need to get going now, but congrats again and good luck! I’ll come and cheer for you at districts and hold you to your promise to win! Haha!

Objectives: Talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Ricky Winterwell

Sounds like a deal, ma’am!

midlife_crisis_ricky

I promise Jessica! I’m gonna do this. Not just for my sake, but also for Master Lucia, Nathalie, and for the honor of our sport and all that Ivan Drake does to disgrace it.

Quest completed

______________

A Rumbling Stomach

midlife_crisis_ricky

Yeah… What do I do now I’ve won? Suppose we may as well go home, right?

Woah, my legs are shaking, I feel so tired… I dunno if I’ll make it home right now, I think I need to rest for a while. At least until my stomach stops rumbling.

If I should eat something?

Hmm, you’re probably right! Smart girl! I’ve got some chips in my bag I think… Not the best, but they’ll have to do for now. Could you grab them for me?

Thanks Rita.

Objectives: Grab some chips for Ricky.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Ricky Winterwell

Well, I’ll let it go this one time but you have to start eating like a champion if you want to be one. Chips alone is just lame.

midlife_crisis_ricky

Omnomnomnomnom, that was good.

Quest completed

______________

What Does He Want Now?!

midlife_crisis_ricky

You were right again Rita! I really needed to eat something. To be honest, I should go home and fix up some proper food, but now I can at least get there thanks to you!

Oh no, is that Ivan? Looks like he’s heading towards us…

Ugh, wonder what he could want?

Objectives: Talk to Ivan Drake.

The Excavator

ivan_drake

I must say you impressed me there… Or not HAHAHAHA!!

Your dotty old bat Master would turn in her grave if she saw your pathetic performance up there. Thanks for giving me and Luke a good laugh though!

Of course, I don’t know if you’ve met Luke… Luke Excavator? He’s one of the best in my club, under my mastership of course.

Luke and you are gonna meet in districts, where he’ll turn you into mashed potato! Hahahaha!

Objectives: Say hello to Luke Excavator.

Anyway, I’m Luke Excavator! I dig up everything in my way. Hehe. I’m gonna dig you out of the ring, Ricky. Hehe. You’ve got no chance against me.

Quest completed

______________

A Cocky Bet

ivan_drake

Ricky, let me be completely honest here. Man to man. We both know you’ve got no chance, so if I were you, I’d just go home. I’d eat some… Chips and just give up. I mean, what do you think is gonna happen? Or do you WANT to make a fool of yourself again? Think of your poor old crazy cat lady master. Do you want to disappoint her again beyond the grave?

Haha! What? You really think you’re gonna win. Oh my word, well if you’re this cocky then how about a bet?

Objectives: Talk to Ricky.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

A Dangerous Bet

midlife_crisis_ricky

You’ll see Ivan! I’m gonna beat you down and when I do, I’ll take back Master Lucia’s paddock! You’ll promise to leave the other clubs in peace as well, like Jessica Lunar’s club for example. If I lose? Well then, I’ll leave Jorvik forever.

Objectives: Talk to Ivan.

You Can’t Leave Jorvik!

nathalie_moonriver

Ricky?! What did you just bet on?! What were you thinking?!

Yeah, obviously you believe you can win Ricky, but leaving Jorvik?! Forever?! You really have to win now Ricky, you can’t leave Jorvik!!

You promise you’ll win? Hmm, okay Ricky, I believe you.

Oh, I would have loved to stay and celebrate with you but I really need to get back to the stables. Ricky, can’t we go out and eat later this evening to celebrate? Great, see you later!

Thanks for all your help Rita, we’ll see each other again soon!

Last Run of the Day

midlife_crisis_ricky

Suppose we’d better head home now. Or at least I need to get home. If I’m gonna head out with Nathalie later, I need to shower and maybe sleep a little during the afternoon. I’m so tired right now that I could pretty much just fall asleep anywhere.

But hey, listen, come with me to my place because I’ve got something for you! I guess you could say it’s kind of a thanks for all the help. I’ve been thinking about giving it to you earlier, but all this stuff with the competition made me so nervous that I totally forgot it.

Come on, let’s run back to my house!

Objectives: Go to Ricky’s place.

You can run along with Ricky or ride ahead and meet him at his house.

Finally home! Whew!

______________

Active Wear, Active Wear…

midlife_crisis_ricky

Now I can just take it easy for a while before I go out and meet Nathalie later. I can hardly believe I actually won! Just think, it’s the district championships soon! This means you and I need to train hard ahead of it! If you’ve got some spare time, you just need to drop by so we can carry on training together. Summerblaze is always welcome too, of course even if he does’t actually do anything. Horses really seem to be pretty bad at exercise…

Anyway, I’ve got a little present for you as a thanks for all your help in the run up to qualifiers! Here’s a really nice piece of active wear that you can have on while we train together. I expect you’ll still want to help me with my training ahead of the district championships right? I need all the help I can get!

Objectives: Talk to Ricky.

You wonder why it’s looking a little chaotic in the camp here? Hmph. Well at least you can see properly if nothing else. Since you can see so well, you’ll be able to see I’m busy trying to avoid all these shards of glass on the ground, which is something you should be doing as well.

I’m not always grumpy, Rita! But when I am, I’m one hundred percent grump. Big difference.

What’s happened here at the camp you ask? Hmph.

Meh, it’s not really anything. I should have been studying my swamp cockroaches when Alberta jumped up and knocked the jar they were in. It fell and smashed and my little six-legged friends scurried away in every possible direction.

I tried to shoo away my little princess out of harm’s way but she got it into her head that she should help round up the cockroaches for me… I yelled at her to stop but then, well, she got mad at me… She knocked the rest of the jars over and ran away… She’ll be back soon though, I’m sure.

Hmph, I suppose I’ll just be sleeping in the cold tonight since the tent collapsed. We can at least hope it rains. If I’ve got no tent to sleep in, then I can at least try my best to live just like Diogenes. 

Hmph. You want to set up the tent again for Alberta’s sake? Hmph… Okay then.

So you know how to put up a tent, do you? Well, aren’t you the genius. Kids these days… Hmph.

Well, what exactly are you waiting for? Get going and set up the tent again!

Chop chop!

I Call It Living!

professor_hayden

Hmph. So you think I’m grumpy all the time? Weeeelll… What can I say? Plenty of people seem to think that if you don’t like other people, laughter, and sunshine then you’re grumpy. I call it living! Like when people say that you should make a wish when you see a shooting star… Nonsense! When you see it in the sky, the star has already been dead for millions of years and wishes only end in disappointment.

So now there’s nothing left for you to do here. Hmph. Unless you’d like to stay and eat with me and Alberta?

Hmph. Light the fire then, or did you have some other way you thought we might cook the food?

She’s a Little Long-sighted…

professor_hayden

ALBERTA?! PRINCESS! DINNERTIIIIME!

Hmph. Where’s that little angel got to?

We’ll have to wait before we eat, we need to find Alberta first. She shouldn’t be that far away, she usually stays nearby. She’s probably just a bit irritated and she’ll no doubt be sitting in a tree somewhere, sulking.

Hmph. Well, well. You’ll have to help me look for her if you don’t mind. You could ride to my house in Crescent Moon Village and see if she’s there. It wouldn’t surprise me if she was just sitting in front of the door, sulking. 

What are you waiting for? I shan’t be hugging you goodbye… If you want a hug, then you should go hug a cactus. Chop chop! Off you go and see if Alberta’s there in Crescent Moon Village.

Objectives: Check if Alberta ran off to Professor Hayden’s house in Crescent Moon Village.

Raging Bees

pamela_moonriver

Sorry, what was that? You’re looking for Alberta?

Yeah, you just missed her. Have you seen the state she’s left the place in? I saw her in the garden here and told her not to mess around with the bees, but do you think she listened?!

It’s about time Hayden started raising that little madam properly. This time she’s gone too far, have you seen all this chaos everywhere?!

The bees are so angry that I don’t know if I even dare go near them to try and calm them down with sugar water.

You’ll give it a go, you say?

Whew! Thanks! Here, take this sugar water and set it out in the garden. Be careful though, when they’re as angry as this they’ll attack whatever gets in front of them.

Objectives: Set out some sugar water for the bees, and be careful not to get too close!

Rewards: 45 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Rita, did you find Alberta?

Quest completed

______________

Once Upon a Time There Was A…

professor_hayden

Oh, so Pamela’s bees are angry? Hmph.

Rita, let me tell you a little story now that you’ve told me yours. Once upon a time there was a professor who had way more important things to think about than a few angry bees in some village he’s almost never in. 

Especially when his only family member has gone missing. In other words: I DO NOT CARE.

ALBERTA?! SWEETIE?! PRINCESS?! Where are you?

What? Pamela’s bees are angry because Alberta was scaring them? Complete nonsense. Again. I’ve already told Alberta quite clearly that she shouldn’t do that. She wouldn’t hurt a fly… Or… Hmph.

Yes, yes, I’ll help. Ugh. Not because of you or Pamela but for the lovely little bees. I don’t like the thought that they’re stressing themselves crazy like this. My sweet nectar mixture should hopefully help calm them down! Hmph.

Nothing in this life comes for free. It’s just as well you learn that now that if you want something in this life, you have to do it yourself. So you can mix up the nectar mixture. Stand here next to this table and follow my instructions. 

Objectives: Follow Professor Hayden’s instructions as you blend together his nectar mixture.

I Stopped Listening

professor_hayden

Are you still talking about angry bees? I stopped listening ages ago.

Hmph. Don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t like you or anything, but just because it’s you, I’ll give you a hand with the next step. Hmph.

You’ve got the nectar mixture, right?

Right. Mix it up with the sugar water. Do it carefully though, otherwise it’ll spill and be a smelly mess instead.

You’re right Rita! No time to be angry at Alberta now, not when we’re surrounded by chaos!

What? You think this sugar mixture will calm down the bees? How on earth are we going to give it to them?

What a clever idea Rita! I hadn’t thought we could put it in a spray bottle and spray the bees!

Are you sure you want to risk riding out and trying to calm them down?

Thanks! Take the spray bottle with you and spray the bees, we just have to hope it works and they calm down!

Well yes of course I believe you. Don’t get me wrong, but even if I don’t like her very much, I have to say I never thought she’d attack anyone.

Alberta’s always been naughty and gets up to so many shenanigans around here that it drives me crazy… She’s many things but she’s never been aggressive. 

You want what’s left of the sugar spray?

Of course, what do you need it for?

That really does sound rather serious. Excellent that you managed to make it here so quickly! It could well be an abdominal aortic aneurysm, cholecystitis, or if we’re really out of luck it could be a mesenteric ischemia… Hmm…

Sorry, you don’t need to know what all of that means. I’ll hurry out to the Professor right away. 

Thanks, but I know where he camps in the swamps, so you don’t need to show me. If you’d like to help me though, you could ride to The Cauldron and gather seed pods from a Heliconiaceae plant. Or at least it belongs to that family of plants…

I’m sorry, in regular Jorvegian it’s called a green lobster-claw plant and it’s quite uncommon. I’ve only seen it growing in The Cauldron.

The plant can usually help ease most stomach and intestine problems, and I’m sure it can work for Alberta… At least until I find out what’s really wrong with her.

Could you ride to The Cauldron and gather the fruit from the green lobster-claw plant? It grows inside the seed pods.

Thanks Rita! I’ll meet you at Hayden’s camp soon.

Quiz Trail Questions

Poor Star Stable tried to make the quizzes challenging but it seems that the questions are either worded badly (both saddle pads and blankets are something you can use on horses) or the answers given aren’t correct, even if you Google them (horses CAN drink up to 12 gallons a day but that certainly isn’t typical). I myself have gotten frustrated with these quests so I am breaking my rule about posting special event information.

Each character has a yellow exclamation point quest in which they tell you they have a quiz trail. Click on them again and the trail itself becomes a daily quest. You can only do a trail successfully once. If you fail, you can try again tomorrow until you answer correctly. You will not be told if your answers were correct until you return to the quest character to end the quest and you will not be told which answers were incorrect if you fail.

Preparing for a Little Adventure

jonas

Hello there Rita. Nice to see you! What brings you this way today?

Everything’s just fine here! Business is improving fast now that other people can get here easily. Actually, now I come to think of it, there’s one thing that’s not quite right. Since the boat sank, we’ve not been able to enjoy all the delicious fruits of the sea!

You wonder why I don’t just fish from the land instead of on the boat? Hmm. Yeah, I suppose I could, especially since it’s been forever since I was able to offer the family some really tasty seafood… We’re so lucky down here in South Hoof, the fishing is so excellent. It’s the perfect environment to hose a wide range of sea life, and you can even fish for crayfish and oysters right there on the beach. Oh, Sigrid really loves oysters. 

You think we could do something about it and try our fishing luck? Right then! Let’s do just that! Go take a look in the box just here to see if we’ve got any crayfish traps left.

Objectives: Fetch Jonas’ crayfish traps then return to him.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Go into the storage shed near the house and find the basket traps, then return to Jonas.

jonas

Looks like you found the crayfish traps!

Quest completed

______________

To the Sea!

jonas

Perfect, Rita! Now we’ve got all the crayfish traps and they’re even looking in pretty good shape, which is lucky! Now all that’s left to do is head to the beach so we can set them up.

You’ll give me a lift so we can set them up together? Sounds like a fine idea, I won’t need to make that long trip on foot! I’ll show you where we can set up the traps when we get there.

One more thing… Here on South Hoof, we spit three times in the water when we set up crayfish traps. It’s mostly superstition, but it’s said to bring good luck and a good catch, hehe!

Objectives: Ride with Jonas to the beach outside the harbor and set up crayfish traps in the water.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with South Hoof

Ride down to the ferry station and turn right onto the beach to get to where the crayfish are. When you get to the fishing area, ride out into the shallow water and place all of the traps down.

jonas

That’ll be just great.

Quest completed

______________

On a New Adventure with Jonas!

jonas

You handled the setup of those crayfish traps like a true fisher! Great work! Now it’s just down to patience and a little bit of luck.

You’re wondering if we can go collect oysters in the meantime? Absolutely! We need a couple of things before we can go gathering oysters. I think I’ve got all we need at the harbor so we can head over there. 

Objectives: Ride to the harbor with Jonas.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Return to the ferry station area with Jonas.

jonas

Right. Good.

Quest completed

______________

Misplaced…

jonas

This place always makes me happy and calm. Can you feel the wind on your face? Close your eyes and listen to the chatter of the seagulls, what a glorious sound…

What? You think it sounds like I miss being out at sea since my boat sank?

No, no, no. I’m just as happy on land as a fish in water… Heh.

Ah well, there should be a couple of knives nearby which are perfect for cutting oysters loose from the seabed. Without the knives, there’s no point even trying to gather oysters.

Wonder where I put them though? Can you see them anywhere?

Objectives: Fetch the knives that should be somewhere around the harbor.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

The knives are on a pile near the stairs to the ferry station. Return to Jonas when you have found them.

jonas

Ah there they were! Good that you brought your eyes with you.

Quest completed

______________

Where Did They Go?

jonas

Now we’re equipped with good knives, we’ll also need a good bucket to keep the oysters in. There should be a couple of blue buckets around here somewhere that I used to take out with me on the boat, but they don’t seem to be here… I use them for other stuff too so I suppose they could be pretty much anywhere.

You’ll have a ride around and look for them? I like your enthusiasm! I’ll stay here and hold the fort in the meantime!

Objectives: Go looking for the two blue buckets. Sounds like they’ve been left at the roadside on the way up to the village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

The buckets are laying on the side of the road; you should have passed them on your way to speak to Jonas at the farm. Return to him when you have found the buckets.

jonas

Wow! You found them, I’m impressed!

Quest completed

______________

A Ride Along the Beach

jonas

Right! Good. We’ve got all we need to be able to gather oysters. Let’s go to the beach, that’s where Jorvik’s best oysters are to be found. I’ll lead the way!

Objectives: Ride with Jonas to the beach where the oysters are – just a short distance from the harbor.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Ride the opposite direction on the beach from where you set the crayfish traps. The oyster beds are a short distance away from the harbor.

jonas

Here we are!

Quest completed

______________

Peace and Quiet with Jonas

jonas

All we’ve got to do is get started and gather oysters from the seabed. Use the knife I gave you to cut them loose.

Objectives: Collect the oysters from the seabed using the knife you found.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Dismount your horse and use the knife to collect oysters, then return to Jonas.

jonas

What’s that you say? You think it’s going too slowly to collect oysters?

Quest completed

______________

Quiet Time is Over

jonas

So you think it takes ages to collect oysters. Right! Good. I’ve shown you how to do it, so I suppose it’s down to proving whether you know exactly what you’re doing with a little race to see who can get oysters the fastest. Umm, shall we say seven each?

Right! Good. The first one to get seven oysters will be named South Hoof’s oyster master!

Objectives: Beat Jonas in a race to see who can pick up seven oysters in the shortest time.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 35 with South Hoof

Thus begins the race!

The quest may be difficult if you play on a laptop track pad. A mouse and good keyboard skills are recommended. 

Race to each oyster bed and use the knife to pick up seven oysters before Jonas does. If he collects them all before you do, you will lose and have to try the quest over again.

jonas

Wow, that was fast! I never thought you’d be able to beat me. After all, I’ve raced against my granddaughter Madison a few times and she’s never beat me yet! Heehee!

Quest completed

______________

The Winner!

jonas

Now I officially leave over to you the title of South Hoof Oyster Master! What an incredible technique you’ve learned in such a short time!

We’ve gathered so many oysters that we’ll have a great supply for ages! I might even need to sell some since we got so many. In any case, they’ll need to be washed and we’ll need to bait the crayfish traps before we’re done for the day.

Hmm? You’ll give me a ride down to the harbor so that I can wash the oysters while you bait the crayfish traps? Sounds like a plan to me! Let’s go!

Objectives: Leave Jonas at the harbor.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with South Hoof

Return to the ferry station with Jonas.

jonas

My most humble thanks for the ride, master!

Quest completed

______________

Lucky Crayfishing!

jonas

We’ve still got to see if we’ve managed to snap up any crayfish. Ride out and check the traps!

Objectives: Ride over to the crayfish traps you set up with Jonas earlier and check if you’ve caught any crayfish.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 25 with South Hoof

Ride out to where you set the traps, check each of them, then return to Jonas with your catch.

jonas

Greetings to you, South Hoof Oyster Master. Heehee! Did we get any crayfish?

Quest completed

______________

Thanks for a Nice Day!

jonas

Woooow! We’ve been lucky little fishers today! It’s been a long time since I’ve had such luck with fishing, perhaps you’re a lucky charm?!

Objectives: Jonas give you a gift to say thanks for helping him out.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP, Blue Sea Shirt

Reputation: 40 with South Hoof

It was my pleasure, sir.

You’ve done a great day’s work Rita. Now the whole family can enjoy these delicious gifts of the sea again. Thanks for all your help and your great company!

Amnesia – Chapter 2

‘Keri’

The voice wavers in and out of my hearing.

‘Keri sweetie, wake up’

There it comes again. The voice is kind and sweet, a light in the darkness.

‘Keri, open your eyes honey’

I become aware of my body, lying on hard, cold, tiles. I open my eyes and see a concerned Sandra hovering over me.

‘What happened?’ I croak.

‘You fainted’ Sandra says, concerned. ‘How come?’

I close my eyes and wonder back into the murkiness of my memories. The last thing I remember was standing in front of a mirror.

I remembered something

A jolt of excitement rushes through my body.

I remembered something important

I struggle harder, determined to save the memory before I lose it again.

It was a name of someone…..

With a final effort I think harder then I ever had before.

‘Justin’ I say, sitting up.

‘What was that honey?’ Sandra asks, completely missing the importance of the word.

‘I was trying to remember something before I fainted’ I say, full of hope. If I can remember one thing, then I can remember another.

‘What did you remember?’  Sandra asks, blue eyes twinkling.

‘A name. Justin’

‘Justin’ Sandra says, thinking. ‘I think Thomas Moorland had a son called Justin. Justin Moorland’

I feel my heart beating faster.

‘Justin Moorland. Now why does that name sound familiar? Oh, I remember now, he disappeared a week or two ago. It was all over the news….’

My head starts pounding and I know that this is no coincidence. I remember one name and it has to be a guy who disappeared a week ago.

‘Okay honey, I’ve my shift is over now but you press the buzzer whenever you need someone’ Sandra says.

I smile at her and nod, my hair falling across my face.

Sandra flashes me a grin before walking out of the room leaving the faint scent of perfume behind.

With a loud sigh, I lean back against the pillows, my head buzzing full of unwanted thoughts. I look at the curtains which are billowing in the breeze. A warm ray of sunshine falls directly on the window seat and I decide to relax and bathe in the warm sun. I sit and the warm leather squeaks. I smile and close my eyes and let myself relax in the warm sunshine.

‘Knock, knock’

The bright, cheerful voice wakes me up. I look up and see a girl with blonde hair.

‘Umm, hello?’ I say, confused as why she’s here.

‘How are you Keri? Are you feeling better?’

Her loud voice is familiar but I can’t remember who she is.

‘Uh, do I know you? I’m not sure if anyone told you but I have amnesia’ I say to the girl.

‘I’m Maggie. I’m your best friend? Remember? Amnesia can’t hold back your memories of me! I mean, we’re the best of friends!’ Maggie’s hazel eyes glow as she speaks.

‘I’m sorry Maggie but I don’t know you’

Her face falls visibly at this but she still tries.

‘Do you remember anything? Like when you first arrived here and you met me. You fell off your leased horse…….Firegazer I think?…..and landed in front of me. I burst into laughter and then we became best friends. Do you remember your beautiful horse Mystery? He was a Morgan, the best you ever had. We were all jealous of you as he could outrun all of our horses’ she pauses desperately.

Her words run through my head. I had a horse, a Morgan.

‘Did I have any parents?’ I ask, curious.

Maggie’s face pales.

‘No…..no you didn’t. I remember you crying one night and you told me that they had decided to keep you here’

My heart sinks. Parents that didn’t want me?

‘Tell me everything about me. Please’ I beg.

Maggie takes a seat on my bed, more than happy to oblige.

‘Well I first met you, like I said, when you fell off your Jorvik Warmblood, Firegazer. He was a dun gelding, a perfect beginners horse. Justin had picked him out especially for you. You became a great horse rider and eventually you outgrew Firegazer. Me, you and some of the other riders from our club all went over to Firgrove and you picked out a Morgan. He was a beautiful golden colour with a gorgeous white mane and tail. You called him Mystery. You and that horse were soul mates I reckon. You went everywhere with him and spent so much time training him. All that training finally paid off when you won the Moorland Championship with him. All of our club was so jealous of that gorgeous, gold ribbon.  You and Mystery especially loved the Riding Hall because they held weekly competitions. I can’t remember if you ever won something but you certainly tried your best. Then a week or so ago, you were out doing something, I don’t know what, when you just disappeared. I go out looking for you and the next thing I know, your in Epona and in a hospital. Crazy’

Maggie’s words stir up memories. I remember a golden horse who I loved, who I adored. I remember friends, all the drama and fights we had. I remember the thrill of winning the Moorland Championships, me in the newspaper the next day. I remember so much yet I can’t seem to remember anymore about Justin or how I ended up in this hospital.

‘Well when you get let out of hospital, I’ve set up a riding club here. You’ll find me at New Hillcrest stables, okay?’ Maggie says. She smiles at me before opening the door and leaving my room.

‘Okay’ I say to an empty room.

I’m Still Alive!

Hi, all!

First off, I owe you all an apology. Shortly after the release of Jorvik City, my laptop struggled to support the game. It was playable but with the amount of lag and wonky physics I experienced, the game slowly lost it’s interest to me. I had stopped posting because of that. I’m sorry for not updating you all sooner. But in other news, barring unforseen computer meltdowns, I am back for good. My awesome boyfriend gifted me a (mostly complete) gaming PC for Christmas. He still had to source a hard drive and OS. We also were waiting on some changes to our apartment to be able to allow room for two computers. We’ve gotten things up and running on mine and today I logged in to the game for the first time in a long time (I was still wearing my Christmas outfit, oh dear!)

I am working on getting caught up on messages and quests on my main account and then will be updating the blog. My first order will be to update the horse guide, since that is the most frequently viewed page on the site. My plan is to have that done by this coming week. I do have family coming in to town this weekend but I have plenty of free time on week day evenings, so it shouldn’t take too long to do.

After updating the guide, I will be returning to regular quest updates. I also will be writing a section about the SSO Horses app.

I want to thank all of you for your patience and for sticking with me though this. I’m sure if my favorite site stopped updating after two months, I might give up hope for it, but many of you haven’t. And I want you all to know that has not gone unnoticed or unapprciated.

You all are the reason I do this and you really are the stars of this site.

As always, much love and happy riding!

Maggie ❤

Edit: I have gotten several questions about how to be a contributor. If you are interested, please send me an email to [ssoridethrough@yahoo.com] with a synopsis and short sample (700-1000 words) of your story. There is no age or style requirement, only a basic grammar ability. You will also be required to make an account on WordPress, as that is how you will be able to access and post on the blog.

[Of course the day I left off on has to be really freaking long! Regular posts should continue more frequently from now on.]

The following quests will unlock Jorvik City. They are a set of many short, unrelated stories, and can be done in any order once all of the areas of Jorvik City are unlocked.

To begin these quests, visit the Janitor at the Jorvik City Mall.

A Flowery Janitor

janitor

Oh, so you noticed the flower?

Humph! It’s actually a reward for all my hard work here at the mall. How else do you think the floor gets so shiny?

Who did I get it from? Bah! Don’t worry about it!

Sigh. Okay, since you ask so nicely… I got it from Iris the florist. She traveled all the way from Aideen’s Plaza to visit the mall. 

Where is Aideen’s Plaza? Here in Jorvik City of course! Hah! How could you not know?

Iris was really impressed by how clean the floor is in here. Unlike some, she even took her shoes off before she started walking around. Luckily some people have manners! 

No, I’m not in love with her! Stop it!

I want to give something back to show that I really appreciate the gift, but my work here in the mall takes up all my time!

I know!

I have a plan. Go talk to Clementine at the cafe here in the mall. She owes me a favor.

Ask her to bring out the best they have. Then come back over here to me!

Objective: Talk to Clementine in the cafe in the mall.

Well, it will have to do.

As I said before, I have a plan…

You don’t seem very busy. Here, take these chocolate hearts and give them to Iris at Aideen’s Plaza.

Why don’t I do it? I told you already! I am much too busy here at the mall to have time for this. Humph!

Come on! Take this map of Jorvik City. I’ve marked Aideen’s Plaza for you. Go there and give my gift to Iris!

(Iris’ cheeks blush bright red.)

Maybe if he took me to Leonardo’s ice cream parlor… It’s so cozy there.

Where is Leonardo’s ice cream parlor?

Do you have a map of Jorvik City? If you get it out, I’ll show you where it is!

(Iris points to the map.)

Here’s Leonardo’s ice cream parlor. They have the best ice cream in all of Jorvik and it’s real cozy inside!

(Iris looks a little embarrassed and points to a new location.)

See this area here? Stay away from it! It’s Pier 13 and it’s full of nasty types…

Oh well, I really must get back to my flowers. 

I hope you have fun exploring Jorvik City!

See you later!

Hey you! Did you do that?

What I’m talking about? All the graffiti that’s started showing up here in the square, of course!

Oh, so you say it wasn’t you?!

You don’t know? I don’t believe you…

All right, I’ll give you a chance to prove your innocence. Paint over all the graffiti here in the square! You can start with this wall beside me!

Here’s a can of paint and a brush.

You did a good job removing the graffiti from the wall, but we’re not finished yet!

I was out on a nice, peaceful walk today. When I walked through the alley leading to the square, I was upset to discover even more graffiti!

You almost look surprised… Do you mean to say you didn’t know about the graffiti on the wall in the alley?

While you were busy painting in the alley, I went to the cafe to buy a bun. To my great dismay, I saw the worst graffiti I’ve ever laid my eyes on it! It was slightly hidden behind a trash container, but I could still spot it!

This is the worst graffiti so far! If you paint over it, you will have proven that you’re innocent once and for all.

You know the drill. Here’s the paint…

Go on, go up to the cafe right away and make that graffiti vanish without a trace!

The air just became much fresher and the atmosphere is nice and peaceful again!

Thanks a lot… Ehm, what’s your name by the way?

Rita… What a nice name for a young lady!

This isn’t over yet, Rita! One day I’ll find out who’s behind all this!

At the moment, I don’t have any use for this can of paint, so you might as well keep it. 

See you again, Rita! And keep an eye out for that graffiti punk!

Find Konrad sitting at the fountain in Aideen’s Plaza.

Birdseed

konrad

Sigh…

(The old man appears to be deep in thought. Try carefully to greet him again.)

Whaaat? AH!

Excuse me young lady, I was sitting here thinking at my place at the fountain and did not see you at all. 

Perhaps you also want to sit at Aideen’s fountain for a while? It’s good when you have lots on your mind, you know.

What do you say, young lady? You wonder what I’m thinking about?

Sigh…

It’s the pigeons! When I was the city gardener I always made sure that there was plenty of food for them and there were birds everywhere.

Now that I am retired, I thought that perhaps the birds would at least want to hang out when I couldn’t work anymore, but there are so few pigeons here!

The whole square used to be filled with pigeons that were so friendly and ate birdseed out of peoples’ hands when you fed them.

Young lady, I really can’t do any city work anymore, but you might be able to help me so the square will be full of flapping life again?

What did you say? People have started to talk so quietly nowadays.

Aha, you want to help me! You know, you are making an old happy!

Take these bags of birdseed and spread them in different places around the square and you’ll see that the pigeons will soon be back!

Objectives: Sprinkle birdseed in five locations around Aideen’s Square.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Use the birdseed from your inventory to place bird food down around the fountain, then return to Konrad as the pigeons come flocking in.

It was so nice to have all these pigeons back in the square, I can sit and watch them all day.

Whaat? Excuse me, I think I got caught up in my thoughts again.

I get a little worried about the pigeons, but I don’t really remember why.

I remember that people often complain that the pigeons make everything very dirty.

Young lady, could you get a bucket and brush to tidy up a bit after the pigeons, just so that people don’t get so angry at the beautiful birds?

Objectives: Find cleaning equipment and clean up after the pigeons.

The Pigeons’ Flight

The Jorvik vermin control department doesn’t like it when too many pigeons are gathered in the same place. They can be really scary when they get tough.

A few small pigeons are nothing to worry about so I don’t see why people should get so upset.

But I heard that Yvonne complain loudly that she certainly would make sure someone did something about this ‘pigeon problem.’

Young lady, I’m terribly sorry that I’ve caused so much trouble for the little birds. Can you help them once again?

What you have to do is scare them away before the Jorvik vermin control department get here. 

Pigeons are easily frightened, but it doesn’t last so long, and if they see that their pigeon pals are still here, they will come back again.

Young lady, you’ll have to scare the pigeons away quickly so they don’t come back.

It’s just a matter of running around and waving your arms a little so they fly away, but make sure that all the pigeons have flown away before any others can land again.

I’ll be sure to treat you to some fresh fruit as a thanks for your help.

Objectives: Run towards a group of pigeons to scare them away. Pigeons come back after a minute if they are not all frightened away, so be quick.

Run around the square and chase the pigeons away. Now that Konrad has had his fun watching them, it’s time to haze them for good. When you have scared all the pigeons away, return to Konrad.

konrad

Now there is nothing to complain about and the pigeons can fly away to safety.

It’s sad not to be able to see the square full of birds, but at least a couple of pigeons stayed and they are so nice to look at.

Find Adam and Johanna on the west side of the square in Aideen’s Plaza.

A Darned Sofa

adam

Hi there, neighbor! Sorry about the noise level, my girlfriend and I are having a heated discussion!

Oh, you’re not our neighbor? All right then, who are you?

I see! Nice to meet you, Rita! My name is Adam!

You see, my girlfriend Johanna and I have just moved into our new apartment, and it’s the first time we’re living together. I think it’s going to go fabulously!

The thing is, there’s just one problem left before we can live the dream, and it’s this darned sofa – it weighs a ton!

Now Johanna, my girlfriend, is as angry as a bee since she thinks it should be a piece of cake dragging the sofa up all the stairs and into the apartment…

Maybe you can help me persuade her to find a better solution than dragging the sofa up all the steps? My poor hands are aching after a day of hard work…

Objectives: Talk to Johanna.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Johanna seems all to keen to criticize her seemingly useless boyfriend. But I wonder how much work she has done herself? Or is Adam over-reacting? Prepare to get involved in some drama.

A Solution to the Problem

johanna_jc

I heard everything that you and my dear boyfriend were saying, Rita…

Adam thinks I’m being hard on him for thinking he should be able to carry more than two moving boxes up a few stairs!

(Johanna glares at Adam.)

We hired some movers to help us move the furniture. They must have forgotten the sofa, so now it’s up to us to get it into the apartment.

Lifting a small piece of furniture can’t be that hard, can it?

Alright, if my dear boyfriend is going to laze around, you and I will have to solve this on our own, right Rita?

You seem to have your wits about you. How would you get the sofa upstairs, into the apartment?

Hoist it up with a rope? Brilliant!

Then we can get the sofa into the apartment! Easy as pie!

It’s lucky that someone here can come up with a solution to the problem instead of just whining about their poor hands…

(Johanna looks accusingly at Adam.)

I think I remember seeing someone throw away a rope in one of the garbage bins around the corner. If you run and get the rope, I’ll get Adam to tie it around the sofa!

Objectives: find a rope in the garbage bins on the side of the building where Adam and Johanna are standing.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 8 XP

Search the bins in the alley behind Johanna. You’ll find the rope in the last bin. Return to the sofa dilemma.

One Last Try

adam

Let’s see…

I think there was something about rabbit ears and the rope going around…

Ehm…

What’s that? Of course I know how to tie a rope around a sofa! I’ve done it thousands of times!

(Adam starts whispering.)

Okay, I have no idea how to tie a knot, but don’t tell Johanna!

Could you please help me? She already thinks I’m pretty worthless for not being able to carry the sofa up the stairs.

If you help me out, I’ll give you a really cool reward!

Here, take the rope and tie it around the sofa. I’ll distract Johanna so she doesn’t notice that you’re the one tying the knot!

Objectives: Tie the rope around the sofa.

So maybe he is actually useless.

Your knot holds up and Adam hoists the sofa up.

adam

Darned sofa!

It won’t fit through the window!

Your plan was brilliant, Rita, but now we’ve really tried everything!

I give up… We’ll just have to do without the sofa. We still have a wonderful armchair where you can sit like a king while watching TV!

Oh, I can’t wait until I can sit down and watch today’s match in my new apartment!

… Oh, that’s right! A reward…

Hmm… I know! You can have the sofa! We don’t have room for it anyway, so you’re welcome to it!

Thanks a lot, Rita!

Hello there! And what is your name, if I may ask?

Rita! Nice to meet you Rita.

I see that you seem to be interested in one of our beanies?

I have plans to open a shop here in the square and sell beanies but I’d need an assistant to get started.

If you are interested in a beanie maybe you could help me get the store started?

The beanies I’ve received are samples and I have a couple of boxes of beanies I would need help to move over here.

Could you go and get the boxes from the tram station?

Objectives: Collect three boxes of beanies from the station.

I’m sure they are going to be a hit, they are really comfortable and in style. Rita, can you place the boxes that you picked up next to the stand here so I’ll have enough beanies to open the store and start selling?

Objectives: Place the boxes next to the stand.

anni_the_beanie_merchant

Now that we have enough beanies, we have to make sure that people know that a store will be opened here.

A store is nothing without customers and until now, nobody knows that the best beanies in Jorvik City are out here in an alleyway at Aideen’s Plaza.

It would be a shame if no one was able to find them.

I’ve printed flyers to be placed around the square. Could you put up the flyers in some different places here? Make sure that you spread them out so that they are not all in the same place.

Objectives: Put the flyers around Aideen’s Plaza.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

The Best Advertising

anni_the_beanie_merchant

Now there’s only one thing we need to get ready for the beanies to start selling like hotcakes, although sunshine is not the best weather for beanies. It would be unfortunate if any customers might feel like melting butter. 

The best advertisement is a satisfied customer, Rita, so if people start talking about the store in a positive manner, customers will flock here.

Let’s see… Which ones should we choose… Yes! The pink one will be good!

Here is a beanie, Rita, think of it as a sort of sample.

It would be really good if you could take this beanie with you and walk casually around the city a little and show off the beanie for everyone to see, and if anyone is curious, you can tell them about the beanies!

Objectives: Show samples to people in the city.

Hey, excuse me, have you seen two girls walking around and looking a little lost on the way here?

No? You haven’t seen anyone?

Sorry to bother you, but I was supposed to meet two friends here, but it’s been almost an hour and I’m worried that they might be lost.

Neither of them are from Jorvik city and it can be hard to find. Could I ask you for a favor?

I don’t want to leave here and go look for them in case they turn up while I’m gone, but it would be really nice if you could look for them? I’ll buy you some ice cream in return.

She is a little shy and wouldn’t have the courage to ask for directions, so if I know here well, she is wandering around here somewhere.

But if you’ve searched through the whole neighborhood for Jessica and have not found Abigail, could she have gotten off at the wrong station?

There are a couple of cafes, one at Aideen’s Plaza, and one in the Jorvik City mall, but I didn’t think that you could mistake them for Leonardo’s ice cream parlor!

Can you please try to find Abigail?

Dust Bunnies the Size of Cars!

health_inspector_harry

Hold it right there! Don’t come any closer!

Did you know that bacteria can travel several meters through the air? Did you? Highly dangerous!

Dust bunnies, how rude of me not to introduce myself…

Health Inspector Harry, the best health inspector in town!

No need to applaud! I’m only doing my job. 

Oh, you weren’t applauding…

Who are you then?

Wait! Please cover your mouth before talking to me. I don’t want to catch any nasty cooties!

(You cover your mouth.)

Rita? Look at that! Almost as clean as my name; Harry!

You know what, I have an idea! I could use a health assistant. How about it? Interested?

What does it mean to be a health assistant? Good question! A very good question!

I’m here to inspect Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor. The assignment is too big for just one person, that’s why I need your help!

The ice cream parlor has been here a long time, probably ever since the 1950s! Just think how many bacteria have collected there over all these years! And dust! Dust bunnies the size of cars, surely!

Ewww, just the thought of it makes me shudder.

Enough said about that! Are you ready for your first assignment, Rita?

First, I need to know if the ice cream parlor is clean and tidy.

Use this camera. Take a few photos inside the ice cream parlor.

I’ll stand guard here to make sure no dust bunnies try to escape!

Objectives: Use the camera to take pictures inside Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor.

Strange… No large dust bunnies…

It looks clean, but we all know appearances can be deceiving!

Did I mention the ice cream parlor is most likely from the 1950s?

Then you can probably guess how old the ice cream is!

It’s a mystery how the ice cream can still look this good, but as I said before, we can’t trust appearances. We must investigate this thoroughly!

The next step is to take some samples. Then we will know for sure if the ice cream is old and full of nasty bacteria!

Here, have some test tubes. Fill the test tubes with ice cream from the parlor and I’ll send them to the lab once you’re done!

Don’t forget to take a sample of the strawberry ice cream! It’s well known for collecting lots of bacteria!

Objectives: Fill a test tube with ice cream from Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor.

Sound, a Public Hazard

health_inspector_harry

The test tubes are now on their way to the lab!

You’ve been working as a health assistant for a while now, Rita. During this time you have probably seen the dangers lurking around every corner! And bacteria is the biggest of them all.

Can you guess what comes after bacteria?

No, not fire…

Sound!

Rita, have you ever noticed that socks sometimes disappear when you wash them in the washing machine?

Why do you think that is?

That’s right! Loud volumes!

Loud volumes are said to be the reason why cats often fight with each other at night.

Therefore, it’s of utmost importance that you control the sound level of every piece of equipment used in public spaces!

Leonardo’s has a jukebox that’s used every day. It’s time to see if it is a danger to the public!

Play a song on the jukebox!

I’ll stay put to check if the sound can be heard all the way out here.

And everyone in the ice cream parlor is feeling alright? No one has passed out from the loud music?

Absolutely perfect, Rita!

My assignment here is done. I just heard from the lab that they have tested the ice cream. Apparently it’s in excellent condition.

Personally, I think that’s amazing! After all, the ice cream is over fifty years old! Incredible!

Well, the lab would never lie. and you can be sure of one thing Rita, that a health inspector always tells the truth!

I must admit that you are a gifted health assistant, Rita.

Unfortunately, the role of health inspector has already been assigned to me. Otherwise you would have a bright future in the field of health inspection!

My assignment is now complete, but before I leave I want to give you a small reward for your impeccable work!

Everyone in town is blind to most of the weird things going on around them.

They don’t know how a few heroes risk everything to protect them!

But of course, it’s TOP SECRET and you can’t tell anyone. You seem to have your wits about you anyway. If you absolutely want to know what’s going on, meet me in the darkest port area at Pier 13. 

But I’m warning you! Once you accept, you can never go back to how it was before ever again! Make your choice and meet me at Pier 13!

______________

In the Jorvik Secret Service

double_o

Naturally, you’ll be wondering why we are meeting here. You are about to be initiated into something so TOP SECRET that we can’t be too careful! I’m talking about some seriously secret stuff. Things that are hiding in the shadows! Things that common people in Jorvik never notice.

Are you totally sure that you’re ready?

You have to whisper, someone might hear you!

I belong to the super secret police force of Jorvik City. I’m so secret that neither the regular police nor the Jorvik Council know about me. The fact is that you are the first person I’ve told about this!

Now that you’re involved, I don’t think we have any choice but to make you a secret agent as well.

No, there won’t be an initiation ceremony, it’s too risky! You won’t get any medals either. I only award invisible medals, just to be on the safe side. Now that you are going to be a secret agent, you must learn a couple of rules.

The first thing that you need to understand is that you are part of the self-appointed super secret police and you must constantly be on guard against anything!

Everywhere there are spies, enemy ninjas, and sinister conspiracies to take over the world. Of course, I manage fine as I’ve seen so many spy movies, but you still have a lot to learn. 

Moreover, it’s risky for us to be seen together.

Someone could see us, and if they figure out that we’re secret agents, then we’re in trouble! That’s why we can only meet at night, here in the shadiest port area where hardly anyone comes, and we can only talk briefly every night.

You will also need a code name.

No, don’t tell me your real name! It’s too dangerous! We’ll have to think of something good. You can call me Double-O. You see, I’m so secret that I can’t even disclose my full 00 number. 

If you’re ready, we’ll start with your training to become a real self-proclaimed agent in the Jorvik Secret Service, appointed by me!

Agent, are you ready?

Objectives: Accept initiation as a “secret agent.”

Sneaking Around Like a Spy

Before you can become a proper agent, you have to go through a training period.

I’ve put a number of markers around the harbor to make a training course that you can follow.

This will be hard, really hard, I’ve made sure of it, but if you succeed you’ll be assigned real missions.

I have my own training course at home that I run through every morning, but I’m sure it’s too hard for you.

In due course, you’ll be able to learn to bungee jump from helicopters, hack secret satellites, and fight ninjas.

Follow all the markers you can find throughout the harbor and make sure none of the dock workers see you!

Objectives: Sneak through Double-O’s course without being discovered by any dock workers.

Hidden Camera

double_o

Remember, you have no one who can come to the rescue, so it might be dangerous if you do not exercise the HIGHEST caution!

At Leonardo’s Ice Cream Parlor, you witnessed my ongoing mission to expose a particular individual and her racketeering business!

I didn’t succeed at the time, but a little bird has told me that this is a person who has something to hide. 

YOUR mission Triple Z, is to take this top secret spy camera and catch the culprit with her fingers in the cookie jar!

You must secretly buy a ticket to Governor’s Fall and without her noticing it, you must follow and photograph her. 

You’ll see that there is something fishy going on, I’ll bet my magnetic watch on it!

Follow the suspect and photograph her when she stops at some points, all without you being discovered.

I will come to Governor’s Fall with you and keep a lookout at the tram station to make sure no one else starts following us while you are following her!

Good luck Agent Triple Z!

Objectives: Follow the suspect in Governor’s Fall and take three pictures without being seen.

When you have enough photos, return to Double-O in front of Leo’s.

double_o

You say that you didn’t see anything weird? Hmm.

And in these pictures she is behaving perfectly normal.

Hmm…

That is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS!

______________

Conclusive Evidence

double_o

It’s obvious that we’re dealing with a highly skilled enemy spy who manages to cover all her tracks.

Don’t you think that’s right, Triple Z? Do you think that maybe she is innocent?

It would be safest for Jorvik if that was the case, but a little bird told me that things appear to be different.

Who are my little birds? They are Polly and Palle, my budgies. 

If you think she’s innocent, we have to know for sure that she isn’t bluffing, just waiting to steal Leonardo’s ice cream recipes and sell them to a foreign power for lots of money so they can create a rival ice cream company that could threaten all of Jorvik!

The suspect has been moving around the area, so your mission, Triple Z, is to look through every green recycling bin in Governor’s Fall and find some conclusive evidence that we can use against our subject. 

Good luck Agent Triple Z!

Objectives: Look for evidence in the green recycling bins at Governor’s Fall.

Agent Triple Z, you have been of great help for the Jorvik Super Secret Police and you deserve a reward.

First, I want to hand over the large iron medal for a well-executed mission on behalf of Jorvik!

As I’ve made all the medals myself, and have the right to hand them out, they are invisible and unrecognizable so that no enemy spies can come to learn your true identity.

If we’re still going to Fort Pinta to take the bus from there, how about a little race? Between us Bobcats?

Why today of all days?! So typical! This is a total disaster!

Sorry girls. I know Jarlaha was meant to be opening today… But unfortunately it’s not the case. I have to call the locksmith and get her to come fix this.

Me and My Bird Phobia

marten

What happened? Sigh.

Well, I was stupid and threw away the key to the store.

I know, I know! It was really stupid but you know, I have a real bird phobia.

I was going to open the shop a few hours ago, but when I got to the shop, there was a bunch of magpies at the front door. I first tried screaming at them to scare them away, but they just stood and squawked at me. It was like they knew I was scared!

Without thinking, I threw the key at them. It made them fly away, but unfortunately the key got stuck on one of the bird’s legs…

Without the key, I can’t get into the store…

Did I see which direction the birds flew? Ha, those bad birds usually sit and hide in the trees outside Leonardo’s ice cream parlor. They’re just waiting to scare the poor innocent people. 

Did you say you’ll get the key back for me? Ha, I don’t know if you’ll be able to, but if you do, I’ll be a happy man.

Objectives: Shake the tree so the key falls down.

Find Mr T Cray at Pier 13.

Crayfish House!

mr_t_cray

Look, a land crab!

Ha!

Does this crab have a name, by any chance?

Rita? Nice to meet you! The name’s Mr T Cray.

Hey, speaking of crabs, did you know that this harbor once used to be run by crayfish?

It’s true! Finally the mayor had enough and banished the crayfish here, to Pier 13!

Since I’m a true crayfish friend, I offer the crayfish a new home – in the form of crayfish cages placed in the water. You could almost call them houses for crayfish…

A crayfish house! Ha!

Oh! The crayfish cages!

It’s lucky you’re here, Rita!

You see, I’ve injured my back, which makes it hard for me to lift the crayfish cages out of the water…

If you stand on the quayside right beside me and look down, you should see them floating around down there!

If you help me lift up the crayfish cages, I’ll tell you more about the harbor when you’re finished!

Objectives: Go pull up three crayfish cages from the quayside closets to Mr T Cray.

Quest completed

______________

Even More Crayfish Houses!

mr_t_cray

Did you know that Pier 14 was built by ants?

Ha!

Did you fall for that one, Rita?

Actually, it was a Frenchman known as Pierre Quatorze who was visiting. He felt that something was missing, and as fast as fish, a new pier was ordered! Legend has it that it was flown here with a zeppelin.

Oh that reminds me! I forgot to put out new crayfish cages at the quayside across from Pier 14!

Would you be so kind as to do it for me? I really don’t want to over-exert my back…

When you come back, I’ll tell you something incredibly interesting about Pier 12!

Objectives: Set out three crayfish cages by the quayside farthest away from Mr T Cray.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Jorvik City

Now we’ve taken the full crayfish houses, it’s time to set out empty ones so more crayfish have a place to live, until we eat them.

Fishtastic, Rita! You’ve got a talent for this!

Perhaps there’s a little fisherman in you after all…

Quest completed

______________

Crayfish Storage!

mr_t_cray

Without Pier 12, the harbor wouldn’t be around anymore…

That was where Kai Zwolf slipped and fell into the water. On him, he had a contract allowing the harbor to be torn down and replaced by a huge garage for the land crabs. Luckily, the contract was destroyed by the salty water!

Rita, I just realized I don’t have anywhere to store the crayfish!

Could you go and get a steel barrel for me? I would have liked to help you carry it, but I think it’s best for my back if I don’t. Also, the crayfish might get lonely if I leave!

There should be a steel barrel by the fence near the old warehouse building!

Objectives: Go to the fence by the old warehouse building a fetch a steel barrel. Then put the barrel beside Mr T Cray.

Fishtastic, Rita!

Hey, have you ever wandered along the quayside and felt these huge cravings for salmon?

You haven’t?

Strange…

Rita! While you were away getting the steel barrel, something incredible happened! My back! Suddenly it feels much better!

Hey Rita, how about you keep this barrel with the crayfish in it? Now that my back feels better, it’s once again time to go out to sea and catch some salmon!

Ship ahoy, Rita!

Since you’ve got Summerblaze with you, might you be able to ride out and meet Madison? Then you can attach the transmitters to the horses.

Umm… It’s… Eh… Rather tricky. To be able to get the transmitter… Eh… Attached… You need to keep up the pace with the horse you’re trying to attach it to.

The Chosen – Chapter 1

Whispers filled my head, I felt a strange sensation as if I was being lifted up and thrown around.

‘Natasha wake up!’ a sharp voice cut through my dreams and I woke up with a start.

‘Huh?’ I wiped my eyes groggily as I tried to get my bearings on where I was.

‘Get up! You’ll be late for your riding lessons!!!’ the sharp voice screeched from my bedroom door. I sighed, my step-sister Jasmine King, she didn’t ride but she was determined to make a fool of me so that she could show off how much more stylish she was than me.

‘Yeah, Yeah, coming , don’t get your tail in a twist’ I grumbled hauling myself out of bed and stumbled around the room trying to gind my riding clothes in my messy room.

‘Tasha!’  A pebble tapped my window and I turned to find my best friend Millie Starr, already in her riding clothes her chestnut hair in a sleek French Braid waving at me frantically.

‘Hey Lil!’ I opened my window welcoming the fresh Jorvik air.

‘Isolde is cross again, can I come in?’

‘Let me guess, issues with Loke again?’ I rolled my eyes and stepped back, letting my immaculate friend climb gracefully over the windowsill.

‘You’re not dressed yet?’ Millie eye my room with caution as she stepped over my muddy Jodhpurs and stained polo shirts.

‘Errr, yeah, Jas just woke me up’ I grinned sheepishly and found my new pair of beige jodhpurs, throwing them on I paired them with a navy blue polo shirt with JSA on it and corralled my hair into a messy high ponytail. I looked like a slug compared to immaculate Millie.

‘Let’s go!’ I cheered charging through the house into the kitchen where I grabbed an apple and a piece of bread without stopping and raced outside.

‘Echo!’ I waved my apple at a sleek Friesian stallion who was romping in the paddock with Millie’s Lippizaner.

‘Ever, quit it’ Millie giggled as Evermist lipped at her hair, her smoky gray hide shining with the morning dew. A sudden pain filled my head as I staggered backwards. My mind flew and I was suddenly standing in a strange stone circle with a strange lady, a dark-skinned girl with a brown pony tail, a fairs-skinned girl with her hair squashed down with a beanie, a weird hooded figure, and some strange squirrel with weird markings on it’s fur.

‘Ummm, hello?’ they didn’t seem to hear me and kept talking in hushed voices, gesturing here and there.

‘Tasha!’ a rough hand jostled my shoulder and my mind jolted back to the paddock. I saw a concerned Milliw with worry written on her face.

‘Tasha? Tasha, what is going on’ Millie asked gently.

‘I… I don’t know, c’mon, it’s over now, let’s just go get ready, Uncle Bob would never forgive us if we were late for a riding lesson. Millie looked at me sideways as we lead out horses over to the hitching rail where several girls where already tacking up.

‘You better tell me what’s wrong soon’ Millie hissed at me before turning away to adjust Ever’s bridle. I saw her pretty brown eyes were shiny with tears and hurt had replaced concern. This was the first time either of us had not told each other something. Echo nickered at me and nuzzled my hair, turning to him I concentrated on wrapping Echo’s legs with blue leg wraps. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Millie mount and canter away, we never left without each other.

‘Friend issues? I knew it would happen, you’re such a weirdo’ I turned to see Melissa smirking at me, her expensive Morgan, Opal, tugging on the reins anxiously as Melissa looked down at me from her high perch.

‘Get lost I growled swiping a towel across Echo’s rump, cleaning off any sticky grass. This was going to be a terribly long year…..

Sigh. I don’t have time for this. Where can it have gone?

Not here, and it wasn’t in the kitchen either.

Hmm…

Oh sorry! I didn’t see you. Hi Rita! Are you here again?

You’re wondering whether I lost something?

Well, I can’t find my computer. I have some documents on it that I was going to send, but now the computer seems to have vanished into thin air.

I beg your pardon Rita, I don’t want to bother you with my problems.

Wax Off

holly

Oh, you were going to see Madison? How nice of you! I think she would be delighted to see you. I know that she really wanted to meet up with you yesterday.

Hey listen, can I ask you a favor? Usually Madison likes helping me prepare for my surfing course, but right now I don’t know where my little sunbeam has gone.

Thanks a lot for wanting to help me out, Rita! I was frankly a little worried that I wouldn’t be finished in time. 

Could you start off by scrubbing the old wax off the surfboards?

Haha, you don’t have to worry. It’s not hard at all. Just make sure you get ride of all the old wax.

A Future in Surfing

holly

Hmm… It’s a bit strange that Madison isn’t here. She always wants to be home before I leave for my surfing courses, since I’m usually gone for a few days.

But I guess she’s just out playing with her horses somewhere. Haha, that kid is just full of imagination.

Do you have time to give me some more help? Oh, thanks! We should see if we can find a date that works for both of us, so I can teach you how to surf.

But now, back to work. Now that the boards are clean, we need to give them some fresh wax so our feet get a good grip.

 We’ll start off with the base wax. Just take this base wax and rub it carefully onto the boards – it’s going to look great!

Objectives: Help Holly apply the base wax to the surfboards.

My Little Assistant

holly

Now that you’ve applied the base wax to the surfboards, we just need to give them a layer of top wax. Then they’ll be all ready for my surfing course.

Do you think you can manage that?

You just have to do exactly the same thing that you did with the base wax. You apply the top wax by rubbing it in nice small circles.

Thanks for helping me out with everything, Rita!

Sorry, but I’ve got to get going. I have to be there when all my students arrive.

It’s pretty strange that Madison isn’t here… Maybe you can check with Erik when he has time, and see if he knows where she is?

I don’t think you need to worry. I’m sure nothing’s wrong, Madison’s probably just lost track of time while out playing somewhere.

But could you check with Erik anyway?

Thanks! See you later then, Rita! Bye!

A Safer Day with Jarl’s Insurances

jonas

Rita, sorry to interrupt you. But I have fantastic news! I’m going to get a new fishing boat! So Madison and I will be able to go fishing again soon. We’ll definitely avoid Cape Sorrow from now on, though. Ho ho!

Unfortunately it will take a while for the new fishing boat to arrive, but until then Jarl’s Insurances will lend me a temporary boat. I’m going off to get it today! I know Madison wanted to come along to Fort Pinta and watch the buses that pass through there. Ho ho! That kid is always up to some kind of game.

Right, back to that boat I’m about to get. It looks as though it’s really big. Not at all as cozy as a small fishing boat, but I’ll only be using it until my new one is ready.

Ho ho! Let me know if you need to travel across the water with a bunch of horses or friends. I can take you, which means I’ll have some use for this big boat from Jarl’s Insurances.

(growl)

Oops! That must have been my stomach. I haven’t eaten much today. Maybe I should make an omelet? Could you check the henhouse and see if there are any new eggs?

Objectives: See if there are any eggs in the henhouse.

Oh, so you’re looking for Madison?

Hmm… She should be here somewhere. As I told you, she wanted to come along to Fort Pinta and look at the buses or something.

But if you see her, let her know that we need to go soon, to get my boat.

Was someone checking out a cafe outside the City Plaza, did you say?

You’re looking for Madison? She hasn’t been here since yesterday. Isn’t she at the farm?

I’m afraid you’ll have to ride back. But before you go, can I ask you a favor?

I must have slept in a bad position last night, because my back really hurts – otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you to help. But do you see the sack lying here? Could you help me carry it up to the top of the lighthouse? It’s pretty heavy, but I think you should manage it.

Mr Anwir is a dangerous man, Rita… Ehm… You have to promise me to keep Madison away from him.

Mr Anwir… Eh… He isn’t afraid of consequences… Uhm… You have to be careful around that man.

Sorry. Mhm… Madison… Madison… She left me a letter that I found this morning…

Suddenly Madison looked startled and asked for the newspaper back… Eh… I didn’t understand then…

Ehm…

She said she needed to go home… Eh… At first I thought she wanted to be… Alone… I’m… Also… Ehm… Like that sometimes.

Anyhow, she ran away with the newspaper…

Eh… What do you think Rita? Ehm… Do you think she found something?

You want to look in the newspaper? Eh… Okay…

Reputation: 25 with Hermit on the Heath

Read each page of the newspaper closely and select the answer at the bottom of the screen the points to the clues that Madison found. When you piece all the clues together, maybe you can figure out where Madison went.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Page 1

With it’s central position and beautiful building, you can’t call Cafe Harp anything but the heart of Aideen’s Plaza. Everyday it attracts all kinds of visitors, locals as well as tourists.

Recently the cafe owners made a brave decision when they chose to renew its already delicious menu. Apart from adding a few new pastries, you can also buy yummy ice cream from their little ice cream counter. I, Delores Staunton, reporter at The Jorvik Gazette, set off to try the new menu and to find out what the visitors thought of the changes. 

Clue found: The Harp Cafe

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Page 2

The visitors’ opinions varied more than expected. While some embraced the changes with open arms, other seemed tow ant the old and less varied menu back. One of the guests who wholeheartedly supported the new menu was Eijnar Alderson. He couldn’t wait to try out the new flavors. Something else that really mattered to him was how this was going to affect Leonardo’s. If the selection were to remain the same, or if Cafe Harp would offer new flavors which Leonardo’s doesn’t currently offer. 

However, among the guests who did not share Eijnar’s enthusiasm, was Mr Anwir, a not to chatty businessman. When he was given to opportunity to describe his feelings for the new menu at Cafe Harp, he chose the expression “Get lost!”.

Clue found: Mr Anwir

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Page 3

On the other hand, Mr Anwir’s friend, Carl Delman, was of a totally different opinion. When he was asked the same question, the answer was “I love ice cream! I’m going to eat ice cream here every day of the week!”.

After having been given the opportunity to talk to all these different, but generally happy ice cream enthusiasts, who had gathered to enjoy the new menu at Cafe Harp, it was finally my turn to try it.

Kudos goes to Cafe Harp’s ice cream, but Leonardo’s is still the place to visit if you want to eat ice cream, with Cafe Harp trailing not too far behind. So if you’re in town, you should definitely visit Cafe Harp and check out their new menu. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Clue found: Carl

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

When you have finished reading the newspaper, speak to the Hermit again.

Eh…

Everything Falls Into Place

Ehm…

Rita, this doesn’t look good…

EH! What’s that Rita? You recognize the cafe in the newspaper?

Ehm… This doesn’t sound good… Madison must have… Eh… Seen Mr Anwir and this other guy… Eh… Sorry, what did you say? You know who the other man is, that Carl guy?

Hmm… Eh… So they’ve taken a horse together before?

Eh… What’s that Rita? You thought of something?

EH! Is Madison’s grandfather taking her with him to Fort Pinta?!

Ehm… She must be up to something, Rita! We have to… Or you have to… Ehm… Stop her.

Eh… I can’t handle this…

You have to talk to her parents, or someone else… Eh… If we’re lucky they haven’t gone off yet… Ehm… You should talk to her dad… He might listen…

The Pirate Who Threw Her in the Water

Rita, I can assure you that Madison is quite alright.

My little girl may have more than her fair share of an imagination, but she wouldn’t run away to – sorry, why would she be running away?

To save that horse Nightdust, you say?

Sigh.

Rita, you shouldn’t let her get you mixed up in her games. Just recently she came home soaking wet, saying that a pirate had thrown her into the water when she was trying to  save her horse, Nightdust.

You see, Rita, we don’t have any horses on our farm, and Madison certainly doesn’t have a horse of her. She’s just making things up.

Of course I have a computer Rita, why are you even asking?

If you can show me something? Well… Sure, of course you can.

(If you show Erik that Madison was checking out The Harp Cafe from the newspaper, together with everything else, he might believe you.)

Where Madison is right now?

She just left with Jonas to take the ferry to Fort Pinta. Jonas is going to get his new boat from Jarl’s Insurances, and Madison wanted to look at some buses or something.

Wait – you don’t think she’s going to take the bus from Fort Pinta to Jorvik City?!

Guardian Angel – Chapter 12: Closer

Even I’m shocked by my newly discovered confidence. I no longer mope around; instead, I make myself useful by doing the laundry, getting groceries or washing dishes. The hotel room is eerily quiet. (Rachel went to run errands.) Bored, I plop down on the couch and close my eyes, hoping to have a vision. But the only thing I see is Chase’s face. Frustrated, I sit up. Every time I close my eyes, he’s there, and he’s distracting me. I now only have two days left and no time for being distracted. My confidence wavers a little.

I need to focus.

For ten minutes, I lay with my eyes closed, hands clasped, whispering, “You can do this, Jamie. Concentrate.” However, because I have never tried to have a vision before, my attempts yield only a headache. I sit up, head throbbing, wondering what I’m going to do. I only have two days left, and I have had no visions recently. I have no new clues for where I need to be. Just as I’m about to give up, my vision is blackened and I find myself in the most vivid vision I have ever had. I’m in the car. I see the billboard, the calendar, the hedge, and an oncoming truck, swerving as if he has lost control of the two-ton vehicle. The usual screams fill my ears, and my instinct is to panic.

Realizing I have only a few seconds to gather clues, I take a deep breath and scan my surroundings. After only a split second, I’ve spotted a building that I recognize. I saw it in a magazine Ms. Ashton had.

Just as I am pulled out of my vision, Rachel enters the room.

“Jorvik City!” I yell.

“What?” she looks startled.

I stare at her, wide-eyed. “I need to go to Jorvik City.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, we’re in the car and on our way. My head is swimming with anxieties and the lurking knowledge that I am going to die sometime the next day. As I stare out the window, watching the scenery pass and knowing that this is only the beginning of our day-long drive, I can’t bring myself to think of my life outside of this. Miss Ashton, Rachel, Chase, Rose, the farm… For the first time I can remember, I don’t care if there’s a family and a life I’m missing out on. All I want is what I had. But I’ll never have it again.

A tear rolls down my cheeks. Tomorrow, I’ll cease to exist. I’ll still be living somewhere, but that’s not me. It may look like me, and she may have the same personality and lost memory as me, but she’s not me. What I have realized is that I stopped existing in two places as soon as I started making new memories. If that girl – the one who’s still alive – is me, then she’d have the same life and memories as me. She doesn’t. She has a family, a family that belongs to me but I will never know. She has dreams, dreams that may have once been mine but are now lost.

I no longer want my old life – her life… I just want this life.

My life.

Hey all!

I have been getting a lot of questions asking about the game not loading, corrupted files, failed payments, etc. and I just want to reiterate: This site is only a walkthrough of the quests. I cannot help with technical issues with the game. I feel bad having to constantly repeat myself with the same response to these comments. Please understand that there are so many variables to technology not working. I am in no way knowledgeable about the workings of computers. I cannot, and will not help with tech issues because, one, I most often do not know the answer, and two, even if I did, I am not a tech blog and will not be liable to any further issues that may be caused by a reader following my advice. This is also a main reason why I will not advise on the use of glitches, namely the wild horse glitch. It is a glitch that is caused by tampering with the game files on your computer and can cause the game to crash. I’m sure all of you are good people but in the off chance someone wants to be a dick and blame me for their game crashing, I do not want to be involved with that, so all I can do is cover my own ass and make sure none of that could come back on me.

I understand that the official game support can be very slow in responding to emails, but unfortunately it is what it is. I apologize that I cannot be more helpful in this regard. Please understand that there are limits to the amount of assistance I can provide.

Hope you all are having wonderful springtime, and happy riding!

No, no, no. Where’s the wallet… That’s right! Cellphone! I mustn’t forget to bring it with me!

Rita!! I can’t talk right now, I have a ferry to catch.

What happened? Madison is gone! She disappeared when she and Jonas were in Fort Pinta yesterday. I’m sorry I didn’t take you more seriously Rita. Sorry.

But now I have to try and find Madison. I hope nothing has happened to her. She should have known better than to run away from Jonas like that. When I find her, I will make sure she is grounded until she’s 35!

You want to help me look for Madison, you say Rita?

Thanks! I appreciate it. But we will talk more about this later. I have to leave now. I’ll go ahead and we can meet up later at the mall.

Rita, where do you think Madison could have gone? Jonas said he last saw Madison sitting at the bus stop when the bus to the mall arrived. When he checked again to see where Madison was, she was gone, so she must have taken the bus here. But where could she have gone then?

Would you say you have any idea of who may have seen Madison?

The janitor there? Hmm… He doesn’t look like he’s in the best mood. I think we should probably not disturb him.

Your daughter? Do I look like a babysitter? I have a job to do here, you know.

See this mess? There is soda all over the floor! And this is the kind of stuff I have to clean up, all because young people today have no manners. I’ll give you an example – I had just finished cleaning the floor when a small girl with big headphones came rushing in. She didn’t even wipe her shoes off and she wanted help to find a bus. Without even saying thank you, she rushed off and spilled a lot of soda.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Large headphones? Did she have brown hair and a pink dress?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hmph! You bet she did. I hope she didn’t spill soda on you as well. But now I must clean this up.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

That must have been Madison! Do you know which bus she took?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Bah! I don’t have time to check which buses the kids get on. Not when I have so much to clean up.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Rita, what should we do? It must have been Madison that the Janitor saw.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

If you helped the Janitor clean up, maybe he would be in a better mood?

Use the rag from your inventory to wipe up all the spilled soda, then speak to the Janitor again.

Huh? Have you already cleaned everything up?

The Cafe from Jorvik Gazette

Rita, please say that you think she is alright. Why would she run away? She will definitely not be getting any Saturday candy for the next five years. 

Do you mean you have an idea of where we can start looking for Madison, Rita?

Do you say you recognize the cafe over there?

Yes, you’re right, of course! That is the coffee shop you showed me in the Jorvik Gazette!

It seems like a good place to start looking, hopefully, maybe someone there has seen her. Come on let’s go there.

Madison?! What are you doing in there? Come out from there, NOW!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I was going to save Nightdust! And when I got here to the square, I saw that stupid man’s friend who was in the newspaper too.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I don’t care what you are doing in the car, it’s not yours. So get out of there NOW! Otherwise, you will be grounded for… Well, a long time.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I can’t. I crawled into the trunk because that’s what they always do on TV. I was going to follow Nightdust’s kidnappers so I could save him. But somehow the trunk was deadlocked and now I can’t get out. Please help me! I can’t get out and it’s so dark in here.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Take it easy, we’ll get you out. We will have to go and find the owner. Did you see where he went before you broke into the trunk, Madison?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Nooo! You can’t talk to him, because he’s a horsenapper! I even found evidence to prove it when he went into the cafe! He is a horsenapper!

Rita, I know you believe me! The stupid man who kidnapped Nightdust, his friend is inside the coffee shop. He must not find out that we’re onto them and Nightdust’s whereabouts.

I Don’t Like the Idea but I’m Counting on You

Rita, I don’t like that Madison has broken into a strange man’s car at all and normally it would just be best to try to find the owner and apologize…

Don’t you think we should do that?

Madison’s wild imagination of a “horsenapper” is hardly believable? Or… How did I miss that?! There’s a risk he might try to sue us for unlawful entry into the car, or libel… This is bad, this is really bad. What should I do? Nope, the best thing is probably to just walk in and hope for the best. Apologize, and then I’m going to make Madison apologize. 

Otherwise, she will have to live on brussel sprout pudding and fish balls for the rest of the year.

Rita, do you have an idea?

Will you enter the coffee shop and distract the car owner? While I try to open the trunk?

Okay… I don’t know if I like this idea Rita, but I’m counting on your. I’ll try to get Madison out while you keep the owner of the car in the cafe busy.

The Worst Service in a Long Time

You look very familiar… Hmm… What is your name?

But it doesn’t matter, do you work here or what? You must do?

I have been waiting for ice cream for a really long time now. I have to confess that the service today is the worst I’ve seen in a long time. A duck could serve me faster than you. 

What are you standing there for? Off you go. I’m a customer and the customer is always right. So make me an ice cream or I will make sure your boss finds out what a bad job you are doing!

(The best thing you can do to keep Carl there is to make him an ice cream. You’d better improvise!)

First, some real life advice from the sage Maggie: The customer is NOT always right. In any job, don’t allow people to treat you worse than dirt. Don’t be afraid to politely stand your ground. If the customer threatens to leave because you won’t kiss up to their rude attitude, kindly point them to the door. Your dignity and self worth is worth more than the few dollars they might spend at your store. If need be, bring a manager in to help you. If the manager won’t stand up for you, then that’s not a job you want to be working!

Back in Jorvik, head over to the ice cream cooler and scoop out the color ice cream the Carl tells you he wants.

Nom, nom, nom, nom!

Even though you are a lazy worker, you sure know how to make ice cream.

Rita, I think it’s best if we just talk to him. Did you say his name was Carl? Why are we whispering?

An Acquaintance from the Past

Hey Rita! 

During the night I thought a lot about how we will find Carl and I think I have an idea. 

I got to know a lady called Anastasia Silverglade when I was working as a lawyer in L.A. She was one of my clients and if there was ever someone who knew how to get hold of something, it was her.

She was born here in Jorvik and I heard a few years ago that she was going to move back to her old apartment here.

But she knows everyone and as we don’t have anything to go on when it comes to Carl, aside from his name and license number, I think we should start asking Anastasia if she  can help us. 

Objectives: Talk to Erik.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 20 with Jorvik City

So how do we find the lady that will help us find the guy?

I tried doing a search on her name but it seems as if she’s still at her old apartment, so I suggest we go there. Hopefully she knows how we can do a search on the license plate.

______________

Governor’s Fall 

Are you ready to go Rita?

Anastasia will be living at Governor’s fall – if she hasn’t moved. But when I tried doing a search for her on my cellphone, it looked as if she was still living there, so I think we should go there and hope for the best. 

If there is anyone who can help us, it’s her.

Really? So you say you are looking for Anastasia?

Haha. Of course she isn’t home, she is probably shopping for shoes at the mall. 

Sorry, but I really have to hurry back to work with my boss’ lunch. But thanks for your help. If you are going to Anastasia, could you take Prince Charming with you so he doesn’t steal anyone else’s food.

I saw it in a spy movie. The spy had a password that was made of numbers, letters, and special characters! The movie was really exciting! We watched it together, Dad, remember?

Yes, that one, sure… But how does the GEMO work for this?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Dead easy! Just plug it in and then the program starts working, bypassing the security. But it is really hard… Rita, maybe you can help me? Here! Take the GEMO so you can connect it to Aaron’s computer.

GEMO will show on its screen which button to click on the control pad.

If the arrow shows green, click the same button.

If the arrow shows red, click the opposite button.

Click the arrows as they appear until you have discovered Aaron’s password and unlocked his computer.

How did you do that? I thought I would have to buy a new computer! Thanks so much Rita! Now I’m gonna try to change the password to something else that I will remember.

Summer is Fun

Hey all!

I haven’t abandoned you. Summer is great where I live, mostly because the rest of the year it is cold and snowy, and I don’t much care for it. So I’ve been enjoying the sunshine as much as possible. I have also gotten back in to my textile crafts and lots of reading and motorcycle riding. As far as my hobbies go, the computer based ones have taken lower priority for the moment.

I am happy to see you all are still visiting the blog. I try to remember to check comments frequently and continue to help even though I haven’t been posting much. As much as I wanted to make this an entirely happy post, there is one negative that needs to be brought up.

I have received some rather rude and impatient comments regarding the lack of updates on the horse page. To that I say, take a chill pill and get a life. There are more important things than hoarding pixel ponies. The horse page is just meant to be a general reference anyway. When new horses are released, their location is announced on the news. You don’t have to wait for me to add them. I have a life outside of the computer and sometimes I really have no interest in sitting inside working on the blog, when there are other things I would rather do. And if that bothers you, I don’t need you here.

For the most part, you all have been great, constantly supportive, and for that, I cannot send you enough love.

At the moment I write this, I have added pictures of all the new horses. I know that many older horses’ locations have been changed. I will be updating that soon as well. I still have not decided if I will update the pictures for the new body model of the original Jorvik Warmblood. I probably will not, if just for nostalgia’s sake. But if you have an opinion on the subject, feel free to give me your input!

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer, and happy riding!

A Special Horse Named Spirit

Star Stable and Dreamworks have teamed up and Spirit has come to visit Jorvik! You can learn more about him by visiting Tori near the Fort Pinta fountain.

Spirit has arrived in Jorvik and in the near future, you and your friends will be able to do quests with Spirit. By completing enough quests and achieving the reputation level Admired with Spirit, he will become your horse.

Good luck!

Spirit turns up at a new place in Jorvik every hour, on the hour. If you find him, he has a quest that you have to help him with.

Spirit moves between many different places in Jorvik, so get help from your friends to find him!

Spirit is on the go every day between times 0800 and 2100.

In Fort Pinta, you will find Tori and Sally. They have been fans of Spirit since they were little. they are selling clothes and gear with a Spirit theme. At their place, you can buy a special apple to give to Spirit to make him stay with you as your horse.

When Spirit likes you enough, you can buy a Miradero apple to give him to make him stay with you as your horse.

You can buy the Miradero apple in Fort Pinta.

Spirit is still a wild horse and doesn’t want a lot of gear weighing him down. You cannot put horse equipment on Spirit.

 

Spirit works like regular reputation quests. They are first initiated by speaking to Tori by the Fort Pinta fountain. Once done, you must find Spirit out in Jorvik once an hour. Spirit moves according to the server time, not the player local time. The server time can be found on the clock town in Silverglade Village.

You will be notified when you are in an area near Spirit. Follow the blowing leaves to narrow down his location. Once you find him, you can start a blue point quest for reputation with him. His quests involve finding a location somewhere nearby. You will be shown a preview of the area you need to find. Pay close attention, as it will not be indicated on your minimap. If you need to see the preview again, talk to Spirit.

Spirit can be found in the following locations:

  • South Hoof Peninsula
  • Sunfield Farm
  • Stormgarden
  • Everwind Fields
  • Hollow Woods
  • The Cauldron
  • Forgotten Fields
  • Jarla Cafe
  • Greendale
  • Valedale Lake
  • Seahorse Point
  • Nilmer’s Highland
  • Silverglade Acres
  • North Iron Gate
  • Jarlaheim
  • Goldspur’s Farm
  • Fort Pinta Road
  • Moorland Beach
  • Valedale
  • Moorland Road
  • Dew’s Farm in Epona
  • The Fire Trail
  • Apple Grove
  • Firgrove Road
  • New Hillcrest
  • Eastern Slopes
  • Moorland
  • Goldenleaf Forest
  • Doyle’s Abbey
  • Jarlaheim Fields
  • Riding Hall
  • Shadowy Hills

Spirit’s quests give 200 reputation points. You will need to help Spirit 30 times to reach Admired with him.

Just like regular reputation quests, when you reach a new level, you will need to speak to Tori to be able to continue with quests. If you do not, Spirit will not appear for you in new locations until you do. When you have reached Admired, return to Fort Pinta and purchase the Miradero apple from Sally’s shop for 699 Star Coins. You will then need to find Spirit again to feed him the apple. He will then travel to your home stable and function as regular horse you can ride.

Spirit is yours to keep forever. You can ride him as much as you want, though he will not wear tack. Even though he is a mustang, he is not able to perform the special move when you press spacebar.

Spirit Quests

A Wild Mustang

Hi!

Have you heard?

Rumor has it that Spirit is here in Jorvik! Me and my best friend Sally have come all the way here just to meet him. We’ve idolized him ever since we were little. 

You don’t know who Spirit is?!

Spirit is the best! He’s a wild Mustang who always wants to help those close to him. I bet he’s here to see what he can do to help the people and animals here in Jorvik. You should try to find him so you have the chance to meet him and get to know him. If you love horses, Spirit is a horse you must get to know!

Objectives: Talk to Tori again.

Rewards: Lucky’s Special Occassions Dress

Admired by Spirit

I’m impressed! I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who Spirit seems to admire as much as he admires you.

Hmm, would you like to give him something as a token of your friendship?

I’ve got an idea of what you can buy. In our store, we have a special kind of apple that only grows in Miradero, where Spirit is from. These kind of apples are really, really hard to get a hold of if you don’t live there. I bet that if you bring the apple to Spirit and let him have a taste of his home land, he will just love it!

Objectives: Talk to Tori again.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP, Horse Hat

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

But before you think about whether to give something to Spirit or not, Sally and I want to give you something! Just because we think you’re so cool that you managed to get even Spirit to admire you.

So we want to give you this!

I can’t believe that I didn’t believe Madison…

Thanks for all your help Rita. I know I don’t need to, but please accept this as a token of my appreciation.

Objectives: Talk to Erik.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP, Trendy City Top

Reputation: 10 with Jorvik City

Let’s save Nightdust!

I swear I will not rest until all the horses have been rescued! Nobody does this to my family, and especially not my daughter!

They must not get away with this. We’ll be in touch as soon as I have contacted the family. Together we can close down this evil lab.

Quest completed

Return to Erik tomorrow.
