Enter antique shop (main)

statue
Look at statue element (main)
nigel: I think the building is late Buccaneer Style...
nigel: The first floor is held in place by a statue of a bearded pirate.
Talk to statue element (main)
nigel: Darrrgh!
nigel: No reaction ... not even my vilest pirate sounds can make this statue flinch.
statue2
Look at recovered statue (main)
nigel: It's the statue Uncle Slappy and I recovered from the river.
nigel: She's beautiful.
Talk to recovered statue (main)
nigel: Welcome back.
Carry away recovered statue (main)
nigel: I think the statue is right where it belongs.
Look at recovered statue (known)
nigel: Timothy Caro's final work ... even if Lilly had been just half as beautiful I can understand why he ended up heart—broken.
Talk to recovered statue (known)
nigel: Welcome back, Lilly.
stephan
statue (main)
caro: There he is!
caro: Dr. LeMue-LaFayette told me that you found the statue and asked him to bring it to me.
nigel: Well, I could not have done it without his help.
caro: I can't thank you enough ... the Castle men must have dumped it into the river after replacing it with that horrible statue of Baron Northwest.
caro: Please, follow me into my shop. You deserve a reward for saving this wonderful statue for the future generations of Ravenhollow.
nigel: That isn't really necessary ... but if you insist!
caro: I do.
cecily
Look at starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: She looks very thoughtful ...
Talk to starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: Good evening!
cecily: Oh ...
cecily: I thought you might be Stig.
cecily: My dear Stig. He asked me to marry him ...
nigel: So what are you going to tell him?
cecily: I want him and only him. I love him so much ...
nigel: That sounds like a yes.
cecily: Well, I don't know. In each and every one of these romantic books that my uncle gives me, star-struck lovers always get a sign from the heavens.
cecily: A sign that tells them that their love is true and their decision is right.
nigel: So you are waiting for a sign?
cecily: I'll sit here in my favorite of all places right under the stars and I'll wait for a sign. I know it will come.
cecily: I'm sure that there'll be a sign. For I love Stig and I want to be his bride, but I need the stars to tell me my decision is right ...
Push starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: That would be a very unfriendly thing to do.
Give #item# to #noun# starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: In its current state, this broken telescope won't show Cecily the sign that she's looking for ...
nigel: Maybe I could change that.
Give #item# to #noun# starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: Hey look! What's that up there?
cecily: What? Where!?
nigel: That must be your sign!!
nigel: Wow, I have never seen anything like it before!
cecily: What is it!? Oh please, where do you see our sign?
nigel: Here, look through this telescope ... it should help you see the stars better.
cecily: Oh, oh Stig!!
cecily: It's SO beautiful. Look how the tiny glowing specks dance and pulse!
cecily: I knew it would come ... our sign! The stars are on our side.
cecily: I have to tell Stig how much I love him. We will marry! Yes! Oh, I am so happy!
cecily: Would you give this to Stig, please? I wrote this letter on the very day that he asked me to marry him. Now he shall have it ...
nigel: Sure!
cecily: Okay, then in the meantime I will set the fireflies free you trapped in the telescope.
nigel: Fireflies? Errr ... what ... are you talking about??
nigel: Oh boy, how embarrassing!
Offer #item# to #noun# starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: Dearest Cecily, while we've only known each other a short time ... would you consider me a suitor if I offered you a ring?
cecily: Absolutely not! My heart belongs to Stig alone, and I know he'll be offering me a ring very soon.
nigel: Shucks. Well it was worth a try ... Apparently my fortunes with women have not changed much.
Show #item# to #noun# starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: Look! I've captured starlight in a bottle! This is clearly a sign!
cecily: Hmm... those "stars" aren't very heavenly.
cecily: I think I'll keep looking toward the night sky for my sign.
nigel: Drat. Well it was a good idea anyway.
Give #item# to #noun# starry-eyed girl (start)
nigel: Here, drink this magic potion ... it's guaranteed to make you see a sign!
cecily: No, I don't drink, thank you very much!
Look at Cecily Caro (aftertelescope)
nigel: Cecily looks happy now. And all it took was a bit of that good old Nigel Trelawney magic.
Talk to Cecily Caro (aftertelescope)
nigel: Naw, I should head over to the river and deliver her message to Stig.
Cecily Caro (aftertelescope)
cecily: As a suggestion ... you may try incorporating romance into your approach.
nigel: I'll keep that in mind.
exit_antique
Look at antique shop door (night)
nigel: Mr. Caro has closed his shop for the night.
Talk to antique shop door (night)
nigel: No, if someone is already asleep in there I do not want to wake them up.
Open antique shop door (night)
nigel: The door is locked.
well2
Look at dried up well (dry)
nigel: There's no water ... the well seems to have dried up.
nigel: Hmmm ... I can just barely make out the shape of a ball lost in darkness at the bottom.
Jump into dried up well (dry)
nigel: That would be a surprising but not very satisfying end for this adventure ...
dried up well (dry)
nigel: I neither believe in wishing wells nor in simply throwing away perfectly good coins.
Look at well (water)
nigel: Look at that ... the well is filled to the brim with cool water.
nigel: The well must somehow be connected to that broken water pipe that I fixed underground.
Drink from well (water)
nigel: The well water looks refreshing and tasty, but I am not really thirsty.
nigel: Maybe after I've had some more Pretzeljax.
Take water from well (water)
nigel: I don't think carrying around well water in my cupped hands would be much fun ...
well (water)
nigel: I'll fill the kettle with water.
shopwindow
Look at shop window (main)
nigel: Antique shop windows are always exciting to look at, don't you think?
nigel: That old phonograph they have on display is a beauty.
ring
Look at spectacular diamond ring (main)
nigel: Wow. That diamond ring must be worth a fortune ...
nigel: It's amazing how the diamond catches the light.
Talk to spectacular diamond ring (main)
nigel: Oh, diamond! Will you be mine? I will be good to you.
Take spectacular diamond ring (main)
nigel: Diamond theft might not be the wisest thing to do right now.
nigel: Around here you get locked up in boathouses for doing nothing at all... and I still have a headache from that.
nigel: ... I should keep a low profile.
flowerbed
Look at flower bed (main)
nigel: These flowers are still in full bloom.
nigel: They smell fantastic ...
nigel: No wonder this yard is so overgrown with plants ...
nigel: The sign on the shop door identifies the owner as a member of the NFS: the Nature Friends Society.
Sleep on flower bed (main)
nigel: I am a bit tired and the flower bed does look comfortable...
nigel: ... but I should find a real place to sleep instead of lying in the dirt.
nigel: My days of waking up in some antique store's front yard every other morning are over.
stars
Look at starry sky (main)
nigel: It's a clear night and the stars are beautiful.
Make sign in starry sky (main)
nigel: Hmm ... I can't change the stars themselves, but maybe I can change the way Cecily sees them.
Look at #noun# with #item# starry sky (main)
nigel: In its current state, this broken telescope doesn't reveal any heavenly signs ...
Make sign in #noun# with #item# starry sky (main)
nigel: Oh boy, Cecily has got to see this!
nigel: Those dancing fireflies make the sky look like a heavenly ballet!
Throw #item# into #noun# starry sky (main)
nigel: I don't think fire and brimstone is the type of sign that Cecily is looking for.
Make sign in #noun# with #item# starry sky (main)
nigel: Good idea, but the fireflies will probably just fly back into the woods if I release them ...
nigel: Cecily will need to see their dancing glow as part of the night sky before accepting them as a sign.
sign
Look at antique shop sign (main)
nigel: Nice handcrafted metal sign ... almost an antique itself, it seems.
rosebush
Look at rose bush (main)
nigel: Who painted the roses red!?
nigel: ... just a joke!
nigel: I love that book.
Pick rose from rose bush (main)
nigel: No, the rose would die a slow painful death if I tore it off the rose bush ...
nigel: I only kill flowers in that cruel fashion in personal romantic emergencies.
ball
Look at red rubber ball (main)
nigel: There's a red rubber ball floating in the well ... someone must have dropped in there while the well was dry.
Take red rubber ball (main)
nigel: That pipe I fixed underground must have filled the well and brought this ball to the surface!
nigel: Now you're coming with me, red rubber ball.

cecily: But I'll sit here in my favorite of all places right under the stars and I'll wait for a sign.

nigel: No! No! I'm sorry. That was just a stupid joke.
cecily: Don't you play with a woman's feelings!
cecily: Your mother should have taught you that.
cecily: My Stig knows that ... oh my Stig, how I love you.
cecily: I wonder when the stars will send me a sign to say that we can be together?

nigel: Hey, was that a shooting star!?
cecily: Where!?
cecily: Oh drat, I missed it ...
