Parts Unknown XXIII
The rest of your journey is uneventful. ROOMBA is mercifully silent as long as you give him corn at regular intervals, George continues to play music at your campfires, and Vincent dutifully scouts and protects the camp from any wayward brigands or animals.
You arrive in town one evening and are taken aback when Vincent leads you towards Cecil’s house. Surprisingly, Cecil is waiting at the window and rushes out to greet you. He invites you all inside and asks you to recount your tale.
Cecil’s eyes grow wide at the story of ROOMBA and he smiles knowingly at Star Meerif’s sudden appearance. After you've finished your tale, Cecil is wrenching his hands in barely contained excitement and asks for the energy stone.
Vincent produces the energy stone and gives it gently to Cecil, whose eyes shine brightly. Unable to take his eyes from the stone, Cecil motions to the table and you see a letter and several hundred gold on the table. He waves his hands absently, a clear dismissal.
Vincent immediately sweeps his share of the gold and leaves; George follows and takes some gold as well, ignoring the letter clearly addressed to “Star Meerif” and some gold behind. Wondering what the letter could be, you take the gold and letter, unsure when you’ll be able to give it to Star.
As you turn to leave a voice pierces the room, “I REQUIRE A PLACE TO STAY. I PROMISE TO CLEAN AND BE A GOOD MAINTENANCE BOT WHILE I STAY.”
You jump, remembering ROOMBA is in the room and accept his proposal as a short-term roommate. Hopefully you have time to discuss his apparent inability to control his volume with someone.
