Town Events

When you initiate a Town Event, very often you must complete it before the Characters involved will accompany you on Adventures again.  You only need Love/Affection of 3 or higher, but not if an Event is in progress.

Town Event: Running Sign
Participants:  Dolce, Pico, Nancy, Jones, Kiel, Forte, Xiao Pai, Lin Fa, Porco, Margaret, Arthur, Doug, Dylas

Town Event:  Don't forget your physical!
Participants:  Jones, Margaret, Porocoline, Arthur

Porcoline:  Arthur doesn't spend much time eating.  He works so hard, I'm concerned for his health...
Freya:  Porcoline...
Porcoline:  Freya, will you deilver this dish to Arthur?
Freya:  Sure!
Porcoline:  Mmm, that was scrumptious!
Freya:  ... You're a monster!

Go to the Clinic where you will find Jones alone and experience an event.

Jones:  Now what am I to do?
Go up to him and choose the chat option.
Jones: ...
Freya:  What's the matter, Jones?
Jones:  Ah, hello.  I was just wondering about this year's physicals.
Freya: Physicals?  Like physical exams?
Jones:  Ah, I haven't mentioned them to you yet, have I?  Every year or so, I ask every one in town to visit me so I can check on their health.  That way I can nip many common ailments in the bud.
Freya:  That makes sense.
Jones:  REcently, I asked a few people with lopsided daily habits to come see me.  Foremost among them were ARthur and Porcoline.  However, neither of them have yet come.

Your choices:
Can I help?
Oh, that's too bad.

Can I help?
Jones:  Hmm?
Freya:  I can go remind them to come and see you.
Jones:  Oh, would you mind?
Freya:  Nope!  It's fine.
Jones:  Thank you.  That would be a big help.

Speak to Porcoline.
Freya:  Hi, Porcoline.
Porcoline:  Ah!  Freya!  Have you finally come to propose your undying love for me?
Freya:  Nope.  Jones asked me to remind you about your physical exam...

Procoline:  Physical exam?!  La la laaah!  I can't heeeear you!
Freya: Procoline?!
Porcoline:  La la la la la laaah!  I'm nooot liiistening!
Freya;  Drat.  This isn't going to work.  Maybe I should ask some one for help.

Find Margaret:
Margaret:  What's up?
Freya:  I ncame to tell Porocoline about his yearly physical.
MArgaret:  What, he still hasn't gone?!
Freya:  Uh, not yet.
Margaret:  Geez, I can't believe him!
Freya:  He's ot listening to me at all.  Can you help?
Margaret:  Definitely.  Let me handle this.

Speak to Porco:
Procoline:  La la la la laaah!  I'm nooot liiustening!
Margaret:  Proco!
Procoline:  Ooh la la!  Hello, Meg!
Margaret:  I heard you haven't been to your physical yet, but that' can't be true... CAN IT?
Porcoline:  Er... I-I'm not listening?
Margaret:  You obviously are, beause you just answered me!
Porcoline:  La la laaah!  I can't heeeear you!
Margaret: ...  Oh!  That's right.  I forgot that I have an extra cookie I wasn't going to eat.
Porcoline:  Yaaay!  *GRAB* ... Oops?
Margaret:  Thanks for letting me know, Breya.
Freya:  Um, no problem.  Now I just have to go and remind Arthur.
Margaret:  I heard Arthur left on some errands earlier.  Porco asked me to deliver him his lunch, but he wasn't in.  He had some letters left on his desk.  Maybe his errands have to do with what's in them?

Look at the letter:

Dear sir,
I have received your letter in regards to a renewed inquiry into the Selphia Plains: East Cave... which collapsed in an accident several years ago.  In my humble opinion, previous investigations have already proven more than sufficient.  Accordingly...
Freya:  The Selphia Plains, Eart Cave?  Maybe that's where ARthur went.

Go to the screen to the right of the first save point and you will find Arthur feeding a Buffamoo.
Freya;  Arthur...
Arthur:  Hello, Freya.
Buffamoo:  Moo!
Freya: Um, why is there a Buffamoo here?
Arthur: Oh, you mean him?  I fed him some grass earlier, and he has followed me ever since.
Buffamoo:  Moo.
Arthur:  Isn't he adorable?
Freya: I-I guess...  By the way, what are you up to all the way out here?
Arthur:  Ah, I was just investigating a thing or two.
Freya: Investigating?
Arthur:  have you heard the legend that surrounds this cave?
Freya: Hmm?
Arthur:  Look here.

There is a stone to the right of the entrance.
Freya:  There are a lot of people's names carved there.
Arthur:  Years ago, couples would carve their names here and then enter the cave holding hands.  They would walk to the back end of the cave, touch the wall and walk back out.  If the couple could do so holding hands the whole way, they would be bound together forever. ... Or so the legend says.  It was quite a popular one with besotted couples.
Freya:  hmm.
Arthur:  But some years ago, theere was an accident that caused a cave-in.
Freya:  Uh-oh.
Arthur:  Many people were buried alive.  But thanks to the efforts of Lady Ventuswill and the castle staff, every one was rescued.  I was among the ones caught in it.  I was visiting the cave for a tourism enterprise.
Freya:  What...?
Arthur:  Even after I had been pulled from the rubble, I was unconscious for days.  It was Jones who saved my life.  Later, Jones told me that Nancy was very concerned for me.  She stayed by my bedside the entire time I lay unconscious.  She said it was all she could do for me.  It may not have been much to her, but it was greatly uplifting to me.
Freya:  Arthur...
Arthur:  Oh my, I'm sorry.  Is tarted to ramble, didn't I?  What can I do for you?
 Freya:  Oh yeah, that's right.  Jones asked me to remind you about your physical exam.
Arthur:  Oh, I had almost forgotten.  Could you please let him know I will stop by in a few days?  It will be difficult for me to find the time before my project here has been completed.
Freya:  I can do that.
Arthur:  Thank you.  That is a great help to me.

After:
Arthur:  Unfortunately, the accident ruined our plans for a tourism enterprise at the cave.  There were so many before, but now... Now it is as you see.  I didn't partiuclarly mind that legend before, but now I'm not very fond of it.
Freya:  Arthur...
Arthur:  Ah, my apologies, it was not my intention to gripe.

Go back to see Jones and chat to him.

Jones:  Procoline stopped by for his physical just a moment ago.  Thank you for your help.
Freya:  You're welcome.  I've talked to Arthur.  He said he'll stop by in a few days, after his current work wraps up.
Jones:  Ahh.  I see he's as dedicatede to his job as ever.
Freya:  Oh, he told me about the cave-in at the Selphia Plain East Cave too.  He said you saved him when he was caught in it.

jones: (...)
Now new event music.
Jones:  My, that is an old, old story.  Even then, even while he lay unconscious, all his mumblings and mutterings were about work.  Nancy and I coudln't help but laugh about it a little.
Freya:  He said he was thankful to Nancy too.
Jones:  Ahh, yes.  She stayed by his bedside, whispering encouragement while he was out.  That's the way it shoudl be for any one who is caring for the life of another.  However... In order to save the most lies, sometimes it's necessary to make very difficult decisions.
Freya:  Oh...?
Jones:  Better instruments help save lives.  But to buy those instruments, doctors need money.  But even with the finest instruments...  The doctor still needs to spend the time needed to save his pateints' lives.
Freya: ...
Jones:  You always need more money and more time to save more people.  Growing too close to patients may lead to biased judgments on how to use those limited resources...  So in the end, the best thing we can do is perhaps to be nothing more than concerned strangers.  At least, I cannot help but think that sometimes.
Freya: ...
Jones:  And that is why I need her.
Freya:  Hmm?
Jones:  She always helps me remember the things I'm about to forget.  All she wants is simply to help any one she sees who needs it.  That isn't exactly the correct thing for a doctor, but it isn't exactly wrong either.
Freya: ...
Jones:  Ah, I'mafraid I've talked your ear off.  I should get back to my work.  Thank you again for your help today.  This is just a small token of my gratitutde.  Please accept it.  I'll see you later, then.
He gave me a stack of REcovery Potions.

Porocline:  My physical is finished. Jones told moi that I need to eat more.
Freya;  Really...?
Porcoline: That is what I choose to believe, and I'll believe it to my dying day.

Margaret:  Geez, that Porco!  I keep telling him and telling him to watch it.  I'm going to have to step it up!

Wait a day or so, then speak to Athur:

Arthur:  UI have finally wrapped up that project.  Now I can go for the physical exam I have been putting off for so long.

Go now to the clinic and speak to Jones.

Jones:  Hello, Freya.  What can I do for you?
Frey;  has Arthur come for his physical yet?
 Jones:  Not yet, though he told me he'd stop by sometime today...
Arthur:  ... y apologies for coming so late.
He walks in with a Buffamoo.
Arthur:  You see, I found an injured Buffamoo along the way...
Buffamoo:  Moo.
Arthur:  Could you look at him, first, please?
 Jones:  Of course.
Screen darkens. Buffamoo shows a heart.
Freya:  I'm glad the Buffamoo is going to be okay.
Arthur:  As am I.  Thank you, doctor.
Jones:  It's no problem.  This is part of my job as well.
Arthur:  a job well done, I say.  Here is your fee.  Now then, I will be on my way.
Freya:  Arthur, wait a second!
Jones:  Do you remember why you came here today?
Arthur:  Oh yes... !  I was to have my physical exam, wasn't I?
Jones:  Yes.
Arthur:  However, I'm afaid I no longer have enough money on hand to pay your fee...
Jones:  That's no problem.  I don't charge for this service.
Arthur:  But...
Jones:  Would you pleaase have a seat?
Arthur: ...All right.
Screen darkens, then:
Freya:  There.  Now all the exams are done.
Jones:  Yes.  However, in the last few days, I've found another person whose health concerns me.  Freya, have a seat please.
Freya;  Huh?
Screen darkens, then:
Jones:  There, that should do it.
Freya:  Thank you.
Jones:  As I mentioned to Arthur, I do not charge for this service.  This is meant a a preventative measure so no one gets sick in the first place.  I find having fewer patients to be ample recompense for the service.
Freya:  Really?
Jones:  Yes, let's leave it at that, shall we?  Well then, that should be all for today.  If you ever start to feel sick, come here straight away, okay?  Though at that time, I'll have to charge you my standard fee.
Freya:  I know, and I will.
Jones:  Please take care of yourself so that you won't need to come by for more than a visit.  Well then, I'll see you later.

After:  That will do for this round of physical exams.  Thank you for all your help, Freya.

End of Town Event sequence.

Too Much Free Time Event
Participants: Dylas, Doug, Vishnal, Kiel, Arthur, Leon

When I walk into the restaurant, all the lads are at table.

Doug:  Man, that was a tough one.  You should've seen the size of that monster!  It was huge!  I made short work of it, though.  Chased it right off!  Ha ha ha!
Dylas;  Hmph.  I would've squashed it in half the time it took you.
Vishnal:  Really?
Leon:  I could have defeated it without even touching it.
Vishnal:  W-wow!  Really?!
Arthur:  I suspect I could have defeated it as I worked.
Vishnal;  Oh my goodness, really?!  Every one is so incredible!
Dylas:  Uh, Vishnal?  They're just messing with you.
(An array of emoticons from every one)
Kiel:  Still, which of us do you think is the strongest?
Every one: ...
Leon:  Myself, likely.
Arthur:  All right then, we shall label Leon the strongest.
Vishnal:  So Leon is/  Wow...
Doug:  Whoa, whoa, whoa@  I'e got a different opinion over here!
Arthur:  yes, Doug?
Doug:  The stronest one of us is ME!
Dylas:  What are you goin on aout?  No way you're  the strongest one!
Dloug:  What, so you think it is you?  Don't kid yourself!
Dylas:  What was that, pebble-brain?
Doug:  Just what I said it was, nag!
Arthur:  Decorum, gentlemen.  Let us keep our decorum.
Dylas and Doug: (!)
Arthur:  If we are to decide which of you is stroner, I suggest an arm=wrestling contest.
Dylas: Arm-wrestling?
Doug:  I'm cool with that! Let's do it!
Dylas:  Yeah.  Bring it on, midget!

Both of them show hurt cross.

If you return to the restaurant, they will be arm-wrestling.  You have a choice:
Good luck, Dylas!
You can do it, Doug!
Leave them be.

If you choose Dylas, he will win, and if you choose Doug, he will win.  In either case, they will go for it again.

When you return to the Restaurant, you may be able to find Doug and Dylas in a corner on the ground.

Doug:  So... HUFF  HUFF  It's a tie... WHEEZE... not bad...
Dylas:  Not PANT PANT bad yourself.
