Part I
Imperial Guard Nome Gratuito is on guard at the Imperial City gates when he decides to exchange pleasantries with a lowly wanderer, Molloy Mund. This is their 'story'.
Setting: Imperial City gates
Enter Nome and Mund
Nome: Good afternoon to you sir.
Mund: Howdy!
Nome: Beg your pardon?
Mund: I said howdy. Is there a problem with that?
Nome: What is this howdy you speak of? I haven't heard of it in my time here in Cyrodiil.
Mund: Cyrodil?! Can you try making sense my good man?
Nome: Do you not know where you are sir?
Mund: You know what; I don't think I have the slightest idea. What's your name?
(Awkward Silence)
Nome: My?name? You want to know my name?
Mund: We've exchanged words for this long. I might as well know the name of the armored gentleman I'm speaking to. Got to put a name to a face you know.
Nome: My name is Imperial Guard Nome Gratuito.
Mund: (laughing) That's your name? Seriously? Isn't that Italian for?
Nome: (quickly interrupting) Italian? Now what are you describing boy?
Mund: (offended) Boy? How old do you think I am Mister Nome?
Nome: Judging by your maturity or lack thereof, seven.
Mund: Now would that be in elf years?
Nome: What does that even mean?! You're pushing my tolerance kid.
Mund: Am I really?
Nome: Do you need to go anywhere? Directions maybe to the nearest inn?
Mund: I've never in my life been on my way anywhere but simply on my way good fellow.
Nome: Here, have you heard of the recent assassination of the Emperor?
Mund: Which Emperor are we talking about here?
Nome: The recent one. You seriously don't know about this?
Mund: Bah. I've never liked monarchies, especially ones with emperors that like to capitalize said noble status. Who gives them the right?
Nome: Don't you realize that with his death the world might plunge, hell, even plummet into darkness?!
Mund: Let it. The heat has been unbearable this past month. If this darkness you speak of can make things a bit cooler then I'd be a happy man.
Nome: (frustrated, rubbing eyes vigorously) I should seriously have you arrested.
Mund: And for what would be my charges oh Imperial Guard? Enlighten me with your omniscience of the law.
Nome: Forget about it! By the gods, you are a strange one. I'm hungry and in need of health. Excuse me for but a moment.
(Slab of venison appears in Nome's hand )
Mund: What?! Where did that come from Nome?
Nome: This piece of meat? Why from my inventory of course.
Mund: But?but it just materialized in your hand without warning! I need to know this magic.
Nome: (chuckling) It isn't magic you silly boy.
Mund: Then what would you call such proficiency and skill?
Nome: Uh?grabbing items out of your inventory?
Mund: Brilliant. So are you going to eat that meat raw? Do you have a fire pit nearby?
Nome: Raw? You know what; I never thought of that. I've always just ate venison on the fly and no cooking precautions have ever come to mind. Maybe this is why I feel I get no health benefit from it.
Mund: And rightfully so Nome. I mean if you can butcher a deer then you should surely know what it takes to cook the meat.
Nome: Who's to say I butchered the meat off the deer?
Mund: I am. What are you suggesting?
Nome: Well I'll go through the process with you. I fancy this deer in the woods yeah? I'm like, 'this would probably give me some experience points and health.' With arrows and bow I slay the beast. I simply walk up to it and 'search' it first. And what would you know?venison.
Mund: So all you did was pat down a dear and you, by the will of the gods, found its meat?
Nome: Easy as that. I'm going to eat now. Are you sure you won't mind?
(Begins to devour venison)
Mund: Not now I suppose. How's the venison?
Nome: It's venison.
