Time - SpillianQuest

Compass
I knew it!

Forest
Knew what?

Compass
That they'd choose Time.

Forest
How very predictable of you.

The Forest turns to you.

Forest
What was it about this bargain that caught you?

Compass
Take your time! Just let us know when you're ready.
We'll see you on the other side.

Next?

Forest
So, time. Not having enough of it is a marvelously convenient way to avoid people or responsibilities you want to avoid.

Compass
Yes! Perfect. I’m so sorry, but I just don’t have the time!
I so wish I could…

Forest
But, it’s also how we most efficiently convince ourselves out of what we most want to do.

Compass
Oh. Yeah. I just don’t have the time. I so wish I could…

Forest
That’s not nearly as marvelous.

Compass
That’s time all covered in Gottadoos. Oof.

Forest
And as much as I’ve tried, we can’t change the nature of time.
Time is obstinate that way.

Compass
And if you think you’re putting things out of time’s reach, you’re actually putting them out of your own.

Forest
You have to instead choose to pull them in.

Compass
And let the Gottadoos go.

They turn to you again.

Forest
What Gottadoos do you need to banish out of time? Can you do that?

Compass
And what is the thing you want to pull in?

Onward!

Forest
Well. I wonder what they'll do with all that.

Compass
Shall we give them somewhere to begin?

Forest
A declaration, then!

Compass
Must it be a declaration?

Forest
Certainly. We don't get many.

They turn to you.

Forest
Are you ready? Are you willing?

A QUEST DECLARATION

How might you dare to make time for something you've been longing to do?

Declaration

Declaration Written Button

I Do Declare.

Compass
Oh, well done!

Forest
Every quester finds something we haven't seen before. It's delicious.

Compass
The Claviger would want to know. There's a Ledger of Quest Beginnings in the Imaginarium, you see. And the Rumpus Court will insist on the appropriate ceremonies.

Forest
They have already granted a rosette...

Compass
May we tell the Claviger? And alert the Rumpus Court that there are party plans to be made?

Forest
And we'll send your words back to you. So you can remember your choice, and your daring.

Compass
I expect we'll have more questions.
And perhaps even point you in a new direction.

Compass That they'd choose Time.

Forest How very predictable of you.

Forest What was it about this bargain that caught you?

Compass Take your time! Just let us know when you're ready. We'll see you on the other side.

Forest So, time. Not having enough of it is a marvelously convenient way to avoid people or responsibilities you want to avoid.
