Akaz Location: Hey Al'nold, The Plot Thickens, Heavy Lifting, Green Thumbs, Growing Wiser Quests given None Shops owned None Dialogue Hey Al'nold Akaz: You...are...not...wel...come...aaaa...round...these...parts... Akaz: Ob...taining...candy...by...any...other...means...spoils...the...recipe... Akaz: Ha...ha...ha...ha... Akaz: He...is...in...his...room... The Plot Thickens Akaz: We... heard... you... out... when... you... came... to... us... Akaz: Al... nold... has... told... me... good... things... aaa... bout... you... so... I... thought... Akaz: Ugh, fine. Akaz: It was just part of my marketin' image, ok? Akaz: Whatevs. Akaz: Listen. I wouldn't've come here if it weren't for Al. Akaz: He said you helped him last year. Akaz: And now I need help too. Akaz: Your help. Akaz: Listen, listen. I'm not a bad guy, a'ight? Akaz: In fact, I was tryin' to find ways to substitute humans in our recipe. Akaz: And I did. Find a way, that is. Akaz: Um... Akaz: It would be easier if I showed you. Akaz: Follow. Akaz: They're my experiments. I told you, I was lookin' for a substitute! Akaz: No. Of course not! Akaz: I... might've made a mistake. Akaz: What I was goin' for was transmutin' animals into humans, so that we can use their succulent meat instead! Akaz: Listen, I need your help with makin' an antidote! I know you're good at that stuff! Akaz: These beasts are wreckin' this place! I can't have Majji—uh, "M" find out about this! Akaz: He's scary! Akaz: He's currently lookin' for humans who've wandered into Apsaydaaun this year, but he'll be back in a few weeks. Akaz: Yeah yeah, just please, help me out here! Akaz: Here. It's the oddest thing. Instead of transmutin', they just... swell up. Akaz: And the rage! The rage, man! I didn't expect for the potion to induce such rage! Akaz: My very first voluntary subject got the worst of it. Since then, I've managed to tweak the recipe so that the other subjects were more docile. Akaz: The cat? Oh, it escaped. Right through the ceiling. Heavy Lifting Akaz: No... no no no! Akaz: This won't work! Akaz: Plants aren't conducive to being meat... Akaz: Ugh, why humans have to be so... delicious!? Akaz: I... I must do this! I have to prove it to "M"! This— Akaz: Huh? Akaz: *Gasp* Akaz: Cat!? Akaz: Oh. Akaz: So you're the cat that Al borrowed. Akaz: Hello kitty... Akaz: Uhh. Akaz: What do ya want? Akaz: Bubble? Akaz: Oh, I see. Akaz: But... why would I help you? Akaz: NO! Akaz: No, please, DON'T!!! Akaz: I'll help you! Just... don't, please... Akaz: *Whimpers* Akaz: A human? Akaz (thinking): Into... A... Human!!! Akaz: Yes! Akaz: Yes... yes, this could work! Akaz (thinking): This is brilliant! Why didn't I think of this earlier?! Akaz: Hold on, kitty, give me a while! Akaz: Mhm, mhm. Akaz: I am pretty sure I don't need to specify what kind of animal, yeah... Akaz: It'll be universal, that's right! Akaz: Yes... yes, this is it! Akaz: Here, kitty, drink it! Satisfy your thirst! Akaz: And there's that. Akaz: Sure. Akaz: Whatever helps you sleep at night... Akaz: No. He trashed the place, then jumped out the ceiling. Akaz: I haven't seen him anywhere either. He might be long gone... Akaz: I just— Akaz: Listen, it... it ain't easy. Akaz: It ain't easy, running this enterprise. Akaz: "M"... he expects a lot out of me. Out of us. To be completely candid, he's not just scary, he's terrifyin'! Akaz: We have to comply, because our parents left us this family business, and he's the eldest. Akaz: He knows best. Akaz: Nope. Nope. Nope. Akaz: ... Akaz: A'ight. Akaz: Oh. Okay. Akaz: You aren't as bad as "M"... as Majji made you out to be. Akaz: Now... I have to fix all the mess I've caused. Green Thumbs Akaz: Ey there, Cauldron Sisters, <Class>. Akaz: Hello kitty! Akaz: We were just mindin' our own business, when these weird plants appeared and started eatin', uhh, the ground. And everythin'. Akaz: You're tellin' me! We could use your guys' help. Akaz: Well actually, I once thought about using plants... but no, it ain't me! Honest! Akaz: He's the oldest, so... Growing Wiser Akaz: Fine then. "M", you need to stop! What you're doin' is far too extreme to help the business! Believe me, I've been down this path. As has Al. Akaz: Plants may be challenging to grow... Akaz: Or we can just sell the powder itself! Akaz: Oh, cool. Akaz: Our family business is saved, thanks to ya! Akaz: Together!
