What do you think of Carderock Pass?
Carderock? I've lived here all my life, and I suppose it's not a bad place... (May leans in close.) Don't tell anyone, but this place is a dump. No fancy shops or cafes, no culture, no wealth, and don't get me STARTED on the people...
What the hell, May? That's a terrible thing to say! (+?.?? Aversion)
Hmph! Don't think you can judge someone as talented and sophisticated as me. My opinions are just too complex for you to understand, I guess. Geez, {user_nick}...I thought you knew me better than that.
I wonder what others would think of your...insight... (+?.?? Aversion)
Wha-? No! You-You can't tell anyone what I said! That was in confidence, {user_nick}! I mean, I'll lose all my customers! Please, forget I said anything. (May looks embarrassed and angry.)
This place is nothing without you, May. Carderock needs you. (+2.00 Fondness)
I know, I know... But I think I've sacrificed plenty for the filthy masses here. The people of Carderock have had years of my company to enjoy. It's time for me to spread my wings and live my life, you know?
You hate it here? I thought this place was perfect for you. (+1.00 Fondness)
Ha! What? A luxuriant, opulent, and superfluous woman like myself is just too magnanimous for a small town like this. Saint's Haven is the place for me! (May looks very pleased with herself.)

You really like Divine Flirtations, huh?
I don't just "like" it, {user_nick}. To me, Divine Flirtations was the magazine that really opened my eyes to the wider world. I found my first issue under some boxes when I first took over the store. It must have been fate...
It's just some trashy magazine, not words to live by. (-?.?? Fondness, +?.?? Aversion)
(May shakes her head sadly.) I feel so sorry for you, {user_nick}. Clearly, you are too close-minded to understand the importance of this publication. How can you expect to dress or feed yourself without something to tell you what's fashionable? How can you live like that?
So, are all your ideas from that old issue you found? (+0.50 Fondness)
O-old issue? What are you talking about? This is definitely the most recent... (May stops waving the magazine at you and checks the cover.) H-heh heh. This is, er, just part of my vintage collection. My new one is around here somewhere...
I guess that magazine was your destiny calling. (+1.00 Fondness)
(Her eyes sparkle at you.)
Yes, {user_nick}, oh yes! I'm so happy you understand! Diving Flirtations showed me that I don't have to waste awawy in this bumpkin town. I can make something of my life, if I just spend all my money on high fashion! It's so simple!
That makes sense. Your style really does NOT fit in here. (+2.00 Fondness)
Ha! You noticed too, eh? Yeah, I guess I'm just too sophisticated for this backwater town. That's why I stand out so much. I hope all the frumpy country girls around here aren't too jealous to learn from my example.

What do you think of Adeline?
Adeline is the one woman I really respect around here. She's so beautiful and athletic, and refined, too! I'm not afraid to call her my role model. I wonder if I should get my ears done, to be pointy like hers...
I think you're perfect just the way you are, May. (+2.00 Fondness)
My, my, you really DO have an eye for beauty, don't you, {user_nick}? You're right, of course. Anyone as beautiful as me should just leave well enough alone... (May takes out a hand mirror and admires herself.)
With pointy ears, you'd look like a hamster or something. (+?.?? Aversion)
H-hamster?! How dare you! I mean, I'm certainly as cute as a hamster, but to imply that I actually LOOK like a rodent... Hmph! You're terrible!
You can't really be just like Adeline, y'know?(+?.?? Aversion)
Why don't you think I can be like Adeline? You saying I'm not pretty enough? Or fit enough? Why, I'll show you, {user_nick}! Right after I get my ears done...
Yeah, Adeline is a really good person. (+1.00 Fondness)
She is, isn't she. So sweet and kind. I really do want to be just like her... (For a moment, you see genuine kindness and inspiration on May's face. Then...) I know! I should get an outfit just like hers. Then people will think I'm just as nice! Which I am, of course...
35.00 Fondness[ | ]
What do you think of Chandler?
I'm not into guys who are all about muscles, and Chandler never talks about ANYTHING besides fighting and getting strong. He's loud, brutish, and violent. I prefer my men handsome, sweet, and rich. Ohh, I just know my prince is on his way now, on a great big horse...don't you think?
I think you'll have a better chance with the horse. (+?.?? Aversion)
The horse?! You're the worst, {user_nick}! I mean, I'll admit that my beauty turns even the heads of animals, but still!
He's probably on his way as we speak. (+1.00 Fondness)
Of course. I can see it now...he strides into town, right up to my shop, falls to his knees, and presents me with a HUGE diamond ring. Then we ride off to the city to live together in wealthily married bliss...
You should stop reading those terrible romance novels. (-?.?? Fondness, +?.?? Aversion)
Huh? Wh-what novels? Why, I would never read something so low-class. I only read the classics! (May kicks a trashy romance novel under her stand when she thinks you're not looking.)
I think Chandler might hear you because you're so loud. (+2.00 Fondness)
Oh crap, was I speaking that loud? Man, the last thing I need is that meathead to come lecture me again about strength or whatever. He's worse than Germaine about that stuff...
45.00 Fondness[ | ]
What do you think of Germaine?
So, I hear Germaine is from a noble family. If I was born in such a family, I would get the most beautiful silk dress, with silk stockings and matching jewel-studded slippers... (May talks like she's daydreaming.)
I thought we were talking about Germaine... (+?.?? Aversion)
Well, I thought you wanted to talk to ME about things that interest ME. Don't you know it's rude to change the subject so abruptly in polite conversation? Honestly, {user_nick}, I thought you were better than that.
I think an outfit like that would suit you just fine. (+1.00 Fondness)
Oh, wouldn't it just? I suppose when I meet my soulmate, they'll be rich enough to buy me an outfit like that. Or, maybe if my friend has some extra money, and really wants to prove they're my true friend... (May looks at you expectantly.)
What you're wearing right now looks good. (+2.00 Fondness)
Pfft, I know that. A rose doesn't just turn into a stinkweed by putting it in a plain pot. But a fine, expensive, jewelled pot really brings out the rose's natural beauty even more, don't you think?
That would look amazing, especially with a fine silk summer parasol. (-?.?? Fondness, +?.?? Aversion)
A silk parasol?! What is wrong with your fashion sense, {user_nick}? A silk parasol with a silk dress is total overkill. You might want to go back to fashion school before you embarrass yourself.

What do you think of Tiana?
I really think Tiana's dress is so beautiful. Maybe I should try that whole sultry, slashed-up look.
You'd look like a signpost covered in rags. (+?.?? Aversion)
Why, I never! That's just rude, and I don't EVEN want to know what you're implying. Some friend you are, {user_nick}!
I'm sure you look fine in the clothes you have now. (+?.?? Fondness)
Well, of course, {user_nick}! You don't have to keep telling me things I already know. I just wish there was a way for me to get the modern, sophisticated clothes I deserve...
I really don't think it's your style. (+?.?? Fondness)
Yeah, you're probably right. I'm probably more the cute, youthful, energetic type, right? Maybe a super lacy dress would suit me better...
I don't think such clothes are suited for a modest lady like yourself. (+2.00 Fondness)
(May blushes.) Erm, yeah, of course... Such extreme clothes aren't really suited for a refined, elegant lady like myself. I was just kidding, of course.
65.00 Fondness[ | ]
Do you have anything you want to ask me?
Ooh, yes! According to Divine Flirtations, knowledgeable women are what all the rich men are looking for. Since you've travelled so much, maybe you can tell me about the things you've seen.
(Talk about your hometown.) (+?.?? Fondness)
(May shows a little interest.) Wow, I had no idea you came from a place like that, {user_nick}. It must have been really nice growing up there...nicer than growing up in this dump for sure.
(Talk about Carderock Pass.) (+?.?? Aversion)
re you kidding? I know more about Carderock Pass than you ever will. Thanks for wasting my time, {user_nick}.
(Talk about the latest fashion trends.) (+2.00 Fondness)
(May is deeply drawn into your story.) Incredible... I had no idea you had such an eye for fashion, {user_nick}. I mean, our styles are a bit different, since mine is more sophisticated and attractive, but still! I'm so glad we had this talk!
(Talk about your training.) (+?.?? Aversion)
(May puts her fingers in her ears and shouts at you.) No, no, NO! Cut it out! I've heard ENOUGH about fighting and training to last a lifetime! Do you have ANY idea how much of that crap I have to listen to, living in a place like this? I'm done with you for today. Just go.

What's your most recent interest?
I've really been getting into dancing lately. I've taken a few lessons, so I went ahead and scheduled my first audition! My natural talent is sure to wow the agents, and I'll be a bigger star than Seliana before you know it.
Hey, do you know how to do that dark elf dance? (+?.?? Aversion)
Dark elf dance? I don't think I've ever seen that one. Is it cool? Can you do it for me? (May looks really excited. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...)
Well, you'll certainly be in a league of your own... (+?.?? Fondness, -?.?? Aversion)
I know, right? I'll be a superstar like no other. Humans, elves, and even monsters will line up to see my performances. Maybe I'll be the key that brings everyone together in peace. I mean, I'm talented enough for a little thing like that...
Do you even have any rhythm? (+?.?? Aversion)
What kind of a question is that? Rhythm and dancing come to me as naturally as breathing! (May sucks in a big breath, and chokes on it.) *Cough* *Hack* Wh-what are you staring at?! That *cough* was just a coincidence...
You sure have some interesting dreams. (+1.00 Fondness)
That's all you have to say? Hmph! I expected more support from you, {user_nick}. You of all people should know how far my natural talent can carry me.
85.00 Fondness[ | ]
So, who's your favourite person?
My perfect soulmate is my favorite person, wherever he is. But until I meet my handsome, sweet, rich prince...I suppose King Cassius at Saint's Haven is the closest. I've never seen him, though, but I assume he's handsome. Kings have to be handsome, right?
You realize you're going to die alone at this rate, don't you? (+?.?? Aversion)
I know you're jealous of my beauty and my fashion sense, but it's not nice to say things like that, even if it is an impossibility. I'm very patient and very forgiving, but even I have my limits.
You might want to consider lowering your standards just a bit. (+?.?? Aversion)
How could I possibly lower my standards any more? MAYBE I could settle for a baron or a duke, but that's REALLY pushing it.
I really haven't met anyone that could handle you. (+?.?? Fondness)
That doesn't surprise me. I've never met anyone handsome or wealthy enough. Guys just don't try hard enough these days...
Well, if I ever meet the king, I'll tell him about you. (+1.?? Fondness)
Oh, that would be great. I mean, I'm sure he hasn't come here yet because he doesn't know I'm here. Please let him know that a beautiful maiden named May awaits his attentions.
95.00 Fondness[ | ]
What's your greatest wish?
Aside from having my Prince Charming whisk me away? I just want to get out of Carderock Pass! Nobody here understand the depths of my genius and beauty. They just see May, the simple country shop girl. I'm destined for so much more!
Does this place really offend you so much? (+2.00 Fondness)
Honestly? Yes. I'm just so sick of the boredom and the lack of class around here. I mean, there's nothing here but adventurers and monsters! Nothing exciting ever happens!
I suppose a change of location can be good for some... (+1.00 Fondness)
I think you understand me, {user_nick}. Lots of things can change the way people see me. Here, I'm just a shop girl. But if I dress up and attend a fancy ball, why, I could be a rich baroness! Or a famous actress! That's all I want. Fame and riches. Is that so much to ask?
People are still people, no matter where they are. (+?.?? Aversion)
That might be true for you, {user_nick}. You sound just like the other poor peons of Carderock Pass. I guess I'm the only one here that has any talent or vision... *Sigh*
I'm sure Saint's Haven is full of girls like you with big dreams. (+?.?? Aversion)
I can't believe you would say that! I'm not just any starry-eyed floozy! I'm May! And when I'm famous and rich and you're still whacking poochums for pocket change, you'll wish you had been nicer to me!
