"death_chat_1","[speed30]Uhh... [longpause]Hello?[/]"
"old_crow_death2","Are you...?<br/>[anim][shake]<i>Death!?</i>[/]<br/>I thought the tales of The Original Reaper were just the mad ramblings of the free crows..."
"death_chat_2","Yeah,[pause] well,[pause] I guess that's me...<br/>So...[break] If you didn't know I was real that means you're not here to rescue me, huh?"
"old_crow_death3","I...[beat] No,[beat] I'm sorry, [beat]we're here for another purpose... <br/>In fact, [beat]you might be able to help us?"
"death_chat_3","Wow, [pause]rude...<br/>But alright,[beat] I mean, [beat]what's a few more minutes after several centuries?<br/>So, why are you here?[beat] Actually, how did you even get here?"
"old_crow_death4","We seek souls that have passed through Death's... [pause]<i>Your</i> Door...<br/>We are service bound reapers. <br/>We require those souls to finish our tasks and restore our stature with the Commission,[beat] otherwise we will die..."
"death_chat_4","Oh... [beat]Awkward...<br/>If you're looking for a soul here then you're out of luck.<br/>Any non-corporeal souls that pass through The Door are absorbed into the Aether.<br/>Soul energy has to be recycled to create new life.<br/>That's why my job was so important...[beat] [anim]Not that the living didn't hate me for it..."
"death_chat_5","I used to go around, reaping souls myself,[beat] then pick them up and take them beyond the veil...<br/>But...[beat] it was <i>so</i> depressing...<br/>Not for the souls - they don't care -[beat] but for the living ones they left behind.<br/>I wish I could let them know dying isn't scary.[beat] It's just the cycle of life."
"death_chat_6","Thing is, over the vastness of time,[beat] I got <i>very</i> tired of that cycle...<br/>But then one day,[beat] a strange being came to me with a proposition...<br/>This being could create Portals...[beat] Doors... [beat]to any place or world."
"death_chat_7","They offered to outsource the collection of souls to an automated system using one of their Doors.<br/>While it was open it would draw in the souls of the dead.<br/>A lighthouse on the shores of the Aether, if you will...<br/>In return for this, [beat]they asked for their lives to be extended..."
"death_chat_8","Well, [beat]actually,[beat] they asked for immortality,[beat] but that's <i>impossible</i>.<br/>If souls stick around too long past their expiry date,[beat] then with nothing left to tie them to mortality,[beat] they decay into [wobble]demonic[/] forms...<br/>All Life <i>Must</i> End...<br/>Well...[beat] eventually."
"death_chat_9","So while I kicked back, several generations of these self-proclaimed Lords of Doors came and went, [beat]enjoying their unnaturally long lives.<br/>Each one agreeing - in the end - to submit to the limitations of life and go willingly into the Aether."
"death_chat_10","Until one didn't.<br/>Which brings us to your current Lord of Doors.<br/>Towards the end of what should have been their life span,[beat] your Lord betrayed our long-standing agreement...<br/>They said there had been some kind of incident...[pause] That the Door had malfunctioned and needed to be remade anew.<br/>For the Door to be reconstructed,[beat] it would require the Touch of Death to link the Door to the Aether."
"death_chat_11","But, after this new Door was created and opened,[beat] the Lord kicked me inside and sealed it shut.<br/>No way for me to escape.<br/>No way for stray souls to pass on to the Aether.<br/>No Death among the living..."
"death_chat_12","I've been here...<br/>Alone...<br/>Ever since."
"old_crow_death5","But...[pause] my assigned soul...[pause] It must be here... [beat]It <i>has</i> to be here...<br/>I tracked it to this door!<br/>It must have entered here somehow, [break]are you sure you haven't seen it?"

"death_post_dd_2","I'm sorry about your big feathered friend back there,[beat] it's always hard for the living to let go of the dead.<br/>Even more of a rough one,[beat] having to reap him yourself.<br/>I can sort of understand that feeling.<br/>Even if it wasn't your intention, you've done me a huge favour here, Crow.<br/>But this isn't over quite yet..."
"death_post_dd_3","Because, while the Door <i>has</i> been destroyed,[beat] my power is unfortunately still trapped in its remains.<br/>Forging The Door required a piece of my own soul,[beat] and I need it back before I can do my job again.<br/>That means, if we want to end this cycle, someone <i>else</i> has to take down the Lord of Doors...[pause] Have you guessed who, yet?"
"death_post_dd_4","I won't be making anymore deals again, that's for sure...<br/>Head back to your office and reap your boss's soul,[beat] Crow.<br/>And remember...<br/>[anim]Death is on your side..."
"death_post_dd_re","Head back to your office and reap your boss's soul,[beat] Crow.<br/>I'll be lurking here until the job is done."
"hobo_dd_speech_1","My fellow Crows!<br/>We have arrived at a moment foretold long ago!<br/>Today,[beat] Death's Door has been opened and Death themselves has been freed once more into the world!"
"hobo_dd_speech_2","Fear not,[beat] for this is not the end of days,[beat] but the beginning of a bright new future!<br/>The forces of life and death have been unnaturally thrown into chaos for a thousand years,[beat] and we Crows played a hand in that..."
"hobo_dd_speech_3","We must right our wrongs!<br/>We must accept our fates!<br/>We must reject those who lead us into a future with no hope!"
"hobo_dd_speech_4","It is time for the Lord of Doors' reign to end,[beat] and for us to return to a natural life-cycle.<br/>[anim]Even as our world teeters on the edge of oblivion,[beat] souls like these Forest Spirits still manage to emerge through the cracks!<br/>Soon a new age will begin,[beat] and the world will teem with <i>new</i> life!"
"hobo_dd_speech_5","For that to happen, the final hours of this foretold day must play out as ordained...<br/><i>The Crow that freed Death will have to end the Lord of Door's reign...</i>"

"truth_expo1","Atop a great tower, many centuries ago...<br/>A Door existed before the one you have known."
"truth_expo2","The First Door was opened by a human seeking the power of Gods.<br/>Their actions would come at the cost of their Soul."
"truth_expo3","The human fused with the Being known as Truth. <br/>They gained the knowledge of all things across all time. <br/>They escaped and returned to the living world, but their Soul was lost to the Aether."
"truth_expo4","The First Door was shattered and broken. <br/>With its destruction, the great tower collapsed into the mountains. <br/>Truth emerged into the living world, tethered to the ruins that once housed the door."
"truth_expo5","An opportunity was seized by the Lord of Doors, who retrieved the essence of The First Door. <br/>They would reconstruct the door in a new location, and trap Death beyond it. <br/>This would result in the world stagnating for many centuries..."
"truth_expo6","A Reaper was assigned the Soul of The Mortal Who Opened The First Door. <br/>An impossible task, as this Soul was already lost to The Aether. <br/>Without this knowledge, the Reaper would be lost, searching for many centuries..."
"truth_expo7","Truth would whisper to the Free Crows, offering them knowledge, and guiding them towards breaking the world free of its stagnation. <br/>It would convince them to tamper with the operations at the Commission - to assign a Giant Soul to the Foretold Crow. <br/>This would set the Foretold Crow off onto their journey."
"truth_expo8","The Foretold Crow would gather the Seven Tablets of Truth. <br/>They would enter and behold the site of The First Door...<br/>And carry the power of Truth out of its prison…"

"trinket_trowel_desc","An old garden trowel used for digging small holes in which to plant seeds.<br/>It has clearly been well used, a light coating of rust having formed on the blade. The finer details of the handle have now been worn away through years of happy use.<br/>Its previous owner took good care of it; they must have been a keen horticulturist.<br/>An inscription engraved on the metal reads: <br/>""In the Moon's light, I will appear bright, if a seed is within my sight""."

They often show loyalty by making and wearing a mask in their image.<br/>Such is the unwavering bond between grunt and leader that it almost resembles a cult."
"trinket_door_old_pickup","You found a scale model of an Ancient Reaper Door!<br/>It doesn't function,[beat] and was probably made long ago as a mock-up for the doors."
"trinket_door_old_name","Ancient Door Scale Model"

"trinket_door_new_desc","This scale model of a door has a note attached:<br/><i>""They’re slimmer, easier to use and more reliable. They no longer process raw souls like the legacy design. <br/>We will be introducing a Vault, which processes souls for the power grid that the new doors run on. <br/>Everything will be automated by the Commission, even minor souls used for purchases will be fed back into the system.""</i>"

"trinket_soulkey_name","Makeshift Soul Key"
"trinket_soulkey_desc","This appears to be a very rudimentary version of the Door technology used by Reapers.<br/>It could have been used to open a rift between two locations, but the passage would have been unstable, and certainly not up to Commission standards.<br/>Not that it matters, as large swathes of the workings have melted and the machine no longer functions..."

"sword_heavy_name","Reaper's Greatsword"
"sword_heavy_desc","An oversized Reaper sword, which weighs twice as much as a standard issue blade, and thus deals more damage at the expense of agility.<br/>The previous owner of this must have been very large..."
"sword_heavy_pickup","You found a Greatsword!<br/>This was clearly wielded by a very imposing figure once upon a time...<br/>You can equip it from the weapons menu."
