Dialogue

Optional Dialogue

Weavingway: What do you think of our clothing? I'll have you know I'm the mastermind behind its design!

Accepting the Quest

Vacillating Loporrit: Oh! It's you! Uh... If it's not too much trouble, I could really use your help!
Vacillating Loporrit: We've been making clothes for your people, but after speaking with Livingway, I realized we've made a grave mistake!
Vacillating Loporrit: Considerable alterations must be made to our plans, and I was hoping you might join me to speak with the Loporrit in charge of garment adjustments.
Vacillating Loporrit: Thank you! They're not going to be happy about this...

Optional Dialogue, at upper levels

Vacillating Loporrit: I'm telling you, we're doing it all wrong! We have to fix these clothes before it's too late!

Speak with the Loporrit tailor

Loporrit Tailor: How are we supposed to resize everything when we don't even know what to base the alterations on?
Loporrit Tailor: Oh! You must be the model, then. I see... You really are like a baby carrot.

Vacillating Loporrit: Perhaps an explanation is in order... You see, we'd like you to help us redefine the style of the clothing we create.
Vacillating Loporrit: We believe comfort and familiarity are key to accommodating the people of Etheirys...which is why we thought masks and all-purpose robes would suffice.
Vacillating Loporrit: When Livingway claimed the fashion trends of Etheirys are far removed from what we were anticipating, I was incredulous, but meeting you made everything painfully clear!

Loporrit Tailor: Indeed. I see now that our plans won't do. Your garments are so vibrant and...unique.
Loporrit Tailor: We still need to decide what adjustments to make, so would you please stay a while?
Loporrit Tailor: Thank you. Now, be a dear and strike a pose for me, will you? I want to get an idea of how the fabric moves with you.

Optional Dialogue

Vacillating Loporrit: If you could pose for me, that would be a great help.

Loporrit Tailor: No need to be shy. There's no one watching but the two of us. Go ahead and give us a pose.

System: The Loporrit tailor watches you intently. Strike a pose to show off your garb.

/pose for the Loporrit tailor

Loporrit Tailor: Yes, just like that! Hmm... I see. May I ask why you chose to wear this outfit?

< What will you say? > 
< I like how it looks. >
< It's practical. >
< Not sure what I was thinking, to be honest. >

< I like how it looks. >
Loporrit Tailor: So people find designs like this aesthetically pleasing? I'll have to bear that in mind when I redesign our concepts...

< It's practical. >
Loporrit Tailor: Ah, so it's not only form that appeals to you, but function as well! A practical choice, I suppose, if you're to take to the battlefield...

< Not sure what I was thinking, to be honest. >
Loporrit Tailor: What, did you choose it with your eyes closed? Ugh... Well, I suppose it just goes to show how very routine clothing is to you.

< Both >
Loporrit Tailor: Might I see your battle stance next? If the people of Etheirys have need to fight, I'd like to be certain their clothes strike fear in the hearts of their enemies.

Optional Dialogue

Vacillating Loporrit: I'm fairly sure that if I were to wander onto a battlefield, I'd be turned into a pelt in no time...

Loporrit Tailor: Would you show me your most valiant battle stance? Your clothes must be stylish, but they must also strike fear into the hearts of your enemies! ...People enjoy that, yes?

System: The Loporrit tailor watches you intently. Assume a battle stance to show off your garb.

Assume your /battlestance for the Loporrit tailor

Loporrit Tailor: Yes... I believe I have a solid grasp of what our designs were lacking before.

Vacillating Loporrit: Truly, I never realized that one's choice of attire could make such an impression!

Loporrit Tailor: And that ensemble quite befits your personality, I must say.
Loporrit Tailor: ...Which means we can't just throw the same garb on everyone. What is that saying you have? Ah, yes─“variety is the spice of life”!
Loporrit Tailor: You have given me so many new ideas, I can hardly wait to get started! In fact, I cannot wait at all!

Vacillating Loporrit: Er... Right, then. Would you care to follow me back to my station?

Speak with the vacillating Loporrit

Vacillating Loporrit: I do believe that we have a much better idea of what we should be making now, and the necessary alterations should prove little trouble.
Vacillating Loporrit: Just you wait─someday soon, the people of Etheirys will be clamoring for the latest fashions from Bestways Burrow!
Vacillating Loporrit: ...Assuming I get back to work, that is. Thank you for your help!
