- "We had an agreement, don't you remember? I'm trying to build a skyboat and you are supposed to bring me calipers and tongs. It all happened tomorrow. I'm sure this conversation will all come back to you in a day or two."
- ―Tove the Unrestful[src]
Tove the Unrestful is a Nord commoner living in Bliss. He is trying to build a "skyboat."
Personality[]
Tove lives in a different time, whenever he talks to the Hero he is either a week ahead or behind. When he first meets them he will ask why they are taking so long with getting calipers and tongs.
If they explain that they have no idea what he is talking about, he will apologize and remind himself that people don't remember what hasn't happened yet.
Interactions[]
Work is Never Done[]
Tove is always looking for calipers and tongs, to build a boat that he believes will fly on water. He pays five gold for each caliper or tongs the Hero finds.
He will pay the Hero for all the calipers and tongs they bring him. Once he has received around one hundred of them he will state he has finished with that project and that he no longer needs them.
Dialogue[]
Work is Never Done[]
"Do you have any yet? (or "Lord Sheogorath! Have you found any yet?" if the Hero is Sheogorath)"
- Uh...no, not yet. "We had an agreement, don't you remember? I'm trying to build a skyboat and you are supposed to bring me calipers and tongs. It all happened tomorrow. I'm sure this conversation will all come back to you in a day or two."
- What are you talking about? "Sorry. I keep forgetting that most people don't remember when we'll meet in the future. Wait, this is yesterday's future. I'm the one that's confused. Anyway, you're going to help me find calipers and tongs. No point in denying it. You've already agreed tomorrow."
- Calipers and tongs "I'm using them to build my skyboat. Just between you and me, the hardest part has been getting the water to not fall out of the air."
- (If the Hero carries some calipers or tongs) "I see you found some. Frankly, I could use all of them. Are you willing to sell them? Five gold each, just like I told you next week."
- Yes, right here. "Excellent. Here's your money. I should have paid you last week. I'm dreadfully sorry about the delay."
- No "You don't want to sell them? I'll have to get you to sign a no competition writ a few days ago. Can't have you building your own skyboat."
- (If the Hero carries no calipers nor tongs) "None? The world is devoid of calipers and tongs? What a sad state of affairs."
- (If the Hero carries some calipers or tongs) "I see you found some. Frankly, I could use all of them. Are you willing to sell them? Five gold each, just like I told you next week."
- Skyboat "A marvelous contraption. I've gotten it to float in water perfectly. Now if I can just get the water to fly through the air. That's what the calipers and tongs are for. I need them to keep the water airborne."
- Calipers and tongs "I'm using them to build my skyboat. Just between you and me, the hardest part has been getting the water to not fall out of the air."
"I'll talk to you some more yesterday. (or "I return to work, Lord. Farewell." if he Hero is Sheogorath)"
After bringing him over a hundred tongs and calipers:
Calipers and tongs "Calipers? Tongs? What would I need those for? Oh! You must be thinking about the skyboat. Yesterday's news. I'm working on a collapsible fork now. I just have to tear apart the boat to get to the hinges."
