>>MARK: Alright, we gotta think of a way to bust outta here and clear our names.
>>SAMMY: Yeah, I mean, I'm a fan of new experiences but jail is kind of boring.
>>MARK: Ok, um, you distract the Jailor and I'll try to--
>>JAILOR: So, uh... you boys are actually my first prisoners... ever... and it's about
quitting time... uh, you don't happen to know how long you're supposed to be in here do
you?
>>SAMMY: Well, arson is a pretty serious--
>>MARK: Uh, I think maybe like... ten, fifteen minutes?
>>JAILOR: Oh, well you've been in there way too long then!
>>JAILOR: See you boys! Feel free to visit!
>>SAMMY: Thanks! We'll try not to!

>>NARRATOR: Tucked away in the corner of lonely server is a quaint little NPC town, so remote
that it has hardly ever interacted with human players. The Townsfolk go about their lives
in harmony and all is well in the virtual world... well... sort of...
>>MAYOR: Alright everyone settle down, settle down. Sad news, sad news. I never thought
this day would come but one of our own is dead. As you know the Librarian has passed
back into the seed. Planter did I say that right?
>>PLANTER THADDEUS: Eh, Close enough.
>>MAYOR: We also had a pretty substantial fire in the library
>>BAKER: You mean Mark and Sammy burned it down.
>>MARK: No we didn't! We were attacked by a man with strange markings floating above
his head. He killed the librarian and tried to kill us too!
>>BAKER: Ghost stories! You have no proof! You're on some kind of burning spree!
>>ROSAURA: They didn't do anything! I was there we were chase by a strange man! He shot
arrows at us and when we found Mark the-- >>BAKER:I won't have you burn my bakery next!
Or the flower shop!
>>MAYOR: Alright now, let's just remain civil here. Everyone just settle down. Settle down
>>MAYOR: Oh fine listen to him...
>>DR. THEODORE: These boys are innocent. This was found in the library.
[gasps]
>>FLOWER LADY: Gasp!
>>BAKER: I've never seen a sword like that before.
>>MAYOR: Is that made of...?
>>DR. THEODORE: Diamond.
>>EVERYONE:Oooooooo.
>>DR. THEODORE: Oooo indeed. This is a very rare and powerful weapon. I don't know who
or what would have or even use such a sword--
>>PLANTER THADDEUS: Yes you do.
>>DR. THEODORE: Please Thaddeus, I am in no mood for your myths and legends.
>>PLANTER THADDEUS: There's no other explanation. This was the work of a Marked One.
>>SAMMY: A who what?
>>DR. THEODORE: Even if your mythical Marked Ones exist why would they come here?
>>PLANTER THADDEUS: All things are part of the seed. Just because we do not understand
doesn't mean--
>>DR. THEODORE: They are random generations of the universe like anything else, meaningless
and above all random!
>>MAYOR: Hey Fellas?
>>PLANTER THADDEUS: They serve a purpose, Theodore, whether we know it or not.
>>DR. THEODORE: What purpose!? To kill our librarians?!
>>PLANTER THADDEUS: Brother, try to keep an open mind.
>>DR. THEODORE: Me an open mind!?
>>MAYOR: Careful with that sword there Doctor.
>>DR. THEODORE: My mind is more open than you could even dream!
>>MAYOR: Alright, well they'll be at this all night.
Hey boys, how was your time in Jail?
>>SAMMY: Boring.
>>MAYOR: Oh, I'm sorry. I'll have a talk with the Jailor.
>>SAMMY: Please do.
>>MAYOR: Now, I know, that the library wasn't your fault, but the Pumpkin Festival is just
around the corner and I was wondering if you all could maybe pitch in and fix it in time
for the event?
>>ROSAURA: What? That festival is in two days!
>>MAYOR: Right. And if there's a giant hole in the library it won't be perfect and throwing
festivals is pretty much all I do around here and I won't have it not be perfect just because
some Marked One or who ever decided to play firebug with my town! K?
>>MARK: Whoa, ok. We'll fix it.
>>MAYOR: Thanks! There's a stack of wood by the wheat farm.
>>SAMMY: There is?
>>MAYOR: Oh settle down you two!
>>MARK: Hmmm... I'm reading the Great Seed and there's not really anything about Marked
Ones at all. It just says that they exist.
>>ROSAURA: Existing is good... All these potion books have strange notes written in them by
someone named 'Tim.'
>>MARK: Potion books? You're supposed to be helping me look into the Marked Ones. Don't
mess with me Rosaura, I'm a hardened criminal now. I've done time.
>>ROSAURA: Sorry, I got distracted. These potion books are really cool! Did you know
if you mix warts and sugar you can run really fast?
>>MARK: What are warts?
>>ROSAURA: I don't know!
>>MAYOR: While I'm glad that someone is actually reading... and sleeping...
...in the Library for once. I can't impress upon you enough the amount to which I will
freak out if the library isn't--
--ready-- Hey, they've got books about Festivals!
[music]
>>MAYOR: Ooo, the Pinetree Festival! I love that one! Ah, the Egg Festival! I love that
one! Oh, the Snow Festival! I love that one!
