- The Bad Actor
"Hello, my friend! What a glorious day it is. Perhaps I can interest you in one of my fine wares. All magical, all for a low, low price! A man in my line of work must find a way to make a living!"
- line of work "I am an actor! Or at least I hope to be. I am the poor player who struts and frets for a while on a stage and then has lunch. I am full of sound and furiousness! Oh, if there were but a good theater troupe in this town, I could give up selling these baubles. Oh! Woe is me!"
- You should leave this area. "Leave here? I could not! It is the finest spot in all Vivec from which to sell my wares. Otherwise, I'd have nothing upon which to support myself. Dear friend, neither a borrower nor an honest tradesman be--that's what my father always told me."
- Leave here now or die. "Slay me? No, kind friend. For who would slay a talent such as mine? All I need is an outlet for my art so the people will adore me! Although, there lies more peril in your sword than in twenty of their eyes.... No! I must stay here, friend. Slay me if you must, but it would be a loss to the world."
- theater troupe "Ah, but to have a company of players. For only then will I be able to showcase my arts! Yes, all the world's a stage...but no one wants to pay me to act on it."
After speaking to Crassius Curio:
line of work "Oh, to be an actor. To act, perchance to earn some money!"
After mentioning a theater troupe to Crassius Curio:
theater troupe "You've found a troupe forming? Then I must go to see the noble patron! Thank you my friend; you will not be forgotten! Yes! Yes! The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the pure strings of...that guy!"
