Dialogue[edit]
- Interacting with Moa Trainer Kappa
- I know they come through here. I've got them well documented. I just have to wait for the next batch to come through, and BAM! Easy money. You should help me catch them. It'll be fun!
OK, I'll help you out.- What comes through here?
- Pygmy moas! Don't you know anything? They always come through here searching for food about now. Rather predictable, but that just makes them easier to exploit. They're like a mobile gold mine.
- OK, I'll help you out.
- What are "pygmy moas"?
- A pygmy moa, as the name implies, is a smaller racial variant of normal moas. They're disgustingly cute, just as fast, and perhaps a bit smarter. Natural selection removes the stupid ones, you see.
- OK, I'll help you out.
- Why do they come back when you're around?
- What do you do with the ones you catch?
I hate cute. I'll just excuse myself.
- A mobile gold mine? Really?
- Why do they keep coming if you keep taking them?
- Likely because they're just animals that don't know any better. Or they enjoy my moa call. Or maybe the food here is delicious. I don't care, really, but I'm glad they do.
- OK, I'll help you out.
- So what makes these moas special?
- What's this special training you mentioned?
- Through the advanced regimen of behavioral demonstration, positive reinforcement, and group competitiveness I brilliantly designed, I'll teach these birds to dance on a professional level.
Explain again why you're training tiny moas to dance?- Must be quite a show. Maybe I'll see it sometime.
- Well, sounds like you've got this covered. Bye.
- Sure, and skritt invented the printing press. Bye.
- "Easy money"?
- These little guys are cute enough to fetch high prices on their own, but with my special training, pygmy moas can perform a coordinated dance that makes them worth their weight in gold!
- OK, I'll help you out.
- OK, I'll bite. What makes them "pygmy moas"?
- Sounds like you've taken a lot of them. Why do they keep coming?
- Dancing moas? Ha! Good luck with that.
- Have fun with that.
- Before event
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Moas love living in the flora. But they're fauna, fauna for me to exploit.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Watch. I'll demonstrate. A simple sound device fools them out every time.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: We'll lure them into the open, then shove them into the pen.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Ready? Here we go.
- During the event
- Moa Trainer Kappa: It's not difficult, but pygmy moas are quick. Just get them in the pen. I'll take over from there.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Thankfulness is really not in my nature. I appreciate this, though.
- Event success
- Moa Trainer Kappa: It's too bad I couldn't do it alone.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Someday I'll be a better inventor. I'll invent everyone out of a job.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: I wonder if I can invent something that makes inventions?
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Wish I had an invention to train moas. Oh, well. I'll just have to do it the old-fashioned way.
- Moa Trainer Kappa: Lift! No, lift, dammit, lift. Lift that leg, you brainless bird!
- Moa Trainer Kappa: This is worse than herding moas.
