This page lists the dates and events the player has with Xyla.

Hangout Event

This event triggers from the cycle 9 dialogue. Xyla will ask the player to show up at their house the following day at 5pm.

:	So, here we are. I remember you saying that there was more to you than I thought. I'm ready to find out now. Go ahead, impress me!
Player:	Impress you how?
:	Well, I don't know, sewer rat. Are you telling me there's nothing more to you? What I see is what I get?
Player:		You haven't even scratched the surface! +2 Points
:			Is that so? Well then I can't wait to dig deep!
Player:		At least I don't have to act tough all the time. -1 Points
:			It's not an act, outsider. Keep talking like that and you'll see firsthand.
:	Still, you are the first outsider from Sun Haven to have reached Withergate. That still amazes me, you know. After the rumors started, we worked hard to make sure Withergate was near-impossible to reach from Sun Haven for our own safety.
Player:	What do you mean?
:	Oh, it's boring to get into. Just that once the Humans started spreading rumors about Withergate, we realized that Sun Haven was a dangerous place for monsterfolk. We cursed the forest with fog and left that nasty old dog to guard the boat. I never thought somebody would actually ask the dog for a ride!
Player:		It was a really clever puzzle, though. +2 Points
:			It can't have been that clever if you figured it out. Then again, you've shown that you're not completely useless. Maybe you're the kind of person we want to find Withergate after all.
Player:		Your defenses are weak. -1 Points
:			Our defenses are perfect. Don't turn this into something ugly, outsider.
:	I guess, in a way, I'm glad you broke our defenses. It's been fun messing with you, at least! And maybe I'm actually starting to like you. Maybe.
Player:		I'm just glad I got to meet you.
Player:		Look at that - you're being nice!
:	Okay, that's enough nice talk. Is everyone in Sun Haven like this? How do you stand it!?
Player:		You're not very good at dating, are you? -1 Points
:			I have some trouble, but only when the date is a complete flop - like with you.
Player:		Don't worry, we can go back to trading insults whenever you want. +2 Points
:			Thank goodness... All those Humans in Sun Haven, no wonder they're so soft. Being nice is exhausting.
:	Well sewer rat, it's getting late and I have work to do. Somehow, this wasn't all that bad!
Player:		"Not all bad" sounds like the perfect night to me. +2 Points
:			Heh, I agree. Thanks for the fun, sewer rat. I'll see you around!
Player:		Okay Xyla - this was fun!
:			What are you, a child? This wasn't some playdate, you know! Anyway, I'll see you around, sewer rat.

Date

This event triggers from the cycle 11 dialogue. Xyla will ask the player to show up at their house the following day at 5pm.

:	So? Aren't you going to compliment my apartment?
Player:	It's really nice.
:	Hah! Sure, okay. That didn't sound rehearsed at all!
Player:		No really, I love how it looks in here! -1 Points
:			Now you're just trying too hard, [Player].
Player:		Fine then, your apartment stinks. Big time. +2 Points
:			There's the sewer rat I know! Thanks from the bottom of my heart, truly.
:	You know, these apartments are some of the nicest rooms in Withergate - outside of the castle, of course.
Player:	Would you want to live in the castle?
:	What, like a queen? Queen Xyla? Xyla, the Genius Demon Queen? Uh, no, no I've never even thought about it before.
Player:		You wouldn't be good at it, anyway. -1 Points
:			You better hope I'm never queen, or you're going right into a dungeon.
Player:		Sure, it totally sounds like you've never even thought about it... +2 Points
:			All right, you've got me. Do I fantasize about it before I go to bed sometimes? Sure. Have I planned out exactly how to overthrow the Demon King and take his throne? Of course. ... Wait, what was the question?
:	As fantastic as I would be as Withergate's queen... Queen Xyla... it's not really the job for me. The power is totally appealing, but the actual work is not really my speed.
Player:		I'm surprised you think so.
Player:		Don't you think you could do it?
:	It's not like I think I'd be bad at the job, but the everyday work is actually quite boring. A looot of paperwork. Besides, trying to make a city of people happy doesn't sound like my kind of fun. My whole life I've been good at one thing, and that's making myself happy.
Player:		I agree, I don't need to be a ruler to make myself happy. +2 Points
:			I think anyone that needs power to be happy is psychotic... Don't get me wrong, power is a ton of fun! But there's a difference between having it and needing it. Anyways, this was fun, but it's getting late. I'd invite you to stay the night, but... nah. Talk to you tomorrow, sewer rat.
Player:		That's a pretty low bar. -1 Points
:			If you think making yourself happy is a low bar, then I don't know what to tell you, sewer rat. You should talk to someone, I guess. Anyways, this was fun, but it's getting late. I'd invite you to stay the night, but... nah. Talk to you tomorrow, sewer rat.

Late Night Event

Xyla Late Night Event
:	Right now? Hah, I'm game. Sit down. You look tense. Are you second guessing your little impromptu date?
Player:		(option 1) Not at all.
:			That's what I like about you. Sometimes, you say exactly the right thing. Sometimes. Most people never do.
Player:		(option 2) Well...
:			What I like about you is that sometimes, you say exactly the right thing. Sometimes. Most people never do, so you're slightly better than the common rabble.
Player:		So, the drink bar in here...
:	What? Thirsty?
Player:		I could go for a drink.
Player:		Thirsty for you, maybe.
:	Clever. I think I know something you'd like, actually.
Xyla throws her arms around you, embracing you. She kisses you, growling slightly as she does, before releasing you.
:	What's wrong? Can't handle a little kiss? You're really going to lose it when I tell you that I love you, bwahahah!
Xyla prepares a couple of drinks. She hands you a glass of black, fizzing liquid. She downs it in one gulp, you can barely tolerate just smelling it. It tastes... really horrible. Xyla makes fun of you for awhile, before showing you a shred of mercy and changing the topic. You decide it's best to leave before it gets too late.

Marriage

Pre-Ceremony

:	This is the happiest day of my life!
Player:		I can't wait to start our lives together. (This starts the ceremony.)
Player:		I want to meet with our guests a bit longer.

Ceremony

:	Quiet, please! Thank you. Now, let us begin. We gather here in order to celebrate the sacred bond between two radiant beings - [Player] and Xyla, of Withergate. Today they join together as one and enter into this most intimate commitment. In marriage, they will find comfort and safety as they journey through a life made more beautiful by their love. To our soon-to-be-wed, I say this: make not a bond of love, but let your love carry you as the sea carries a ship, and let your happiness show as clear and visible as a white sail filled with wind. Xyla, would you like to say a few words before the exchanging of vows?
:	Yeah, yeah. Really lovely setup. Too many flowers for my taste, but whatever makes my lucky little spouse happy. I didn't think I'd ever find someone who could tolerate my venom, most people cower and scurry away when I sink my claws into them. I'm not above admitting when I've met my match, though. Let's seal this deal with a kiss already and get on to things that are actually important.
:	Well spoken! So do you, Xyla, take [Player] to be your wedded partner?
:	[Player], what words do I have to say that you shouldn't already know? This is the start of an incredibly powerful union that will rock the foundations of Withergate - and the world - to its core. Many have tried and failed to stand beside me. In you I find not just love, but someone worthy. Let me cut right to the chase... ...I do!
:	And now, [Player], I ask: Do you take Xyla to be your wedded partner?
Player:		I do.
:			Xyla, [Player], before these witnesses you have pledged to be joined in marriage. With the power granted to me by the officiating office of the Great City, I hereby declare you joined in matrimony. You may now seal this ceremony with a kiss!
Player:		I do not. (This will end the ceremony.)
:			Oh dear! This is ... very, very unfortunate.And awkward! Emmett, quickly... take everything down, get the guests out of here... ((Emmett, quickly! Pour the memory loss potion in the punch bowl... Make sure everyone has a drink before they leave... No one will have to remember a thing...)) ...Oh, um, excuse me, everyone! Let's all have some refreshments before we leave...!

Post-Ceremony

If the player talks to the various NPCs after the main ceremony, they will have different responses congratulating the player on their marriage.

:"It seems like just yesterday I was barging through your door for the first time... Now look at you!"

:"This is such a beautiful wedding, I told myself I wouldn't cry, but..."

:"Congratulations on the marriage. I couldn't imagine standing up in front of everyone and getting married like that."

:"So this is how they celebrate marriage in the Human town... Consider me unimpressed."

:"Hey, good job on getting married. Hope you have lots of happy years together, and all that. So is there going to be any food, or..."

:"This is so different from an Elven wedding... Oh - still nice though!"

:"Oh, [Player]. I'm so happy for you! If you ever need any advice, you know where to go."

:"Fantastic ceremony! The love in the air is practically palpable."

:"Congratulations, congratulations! You make such a cute cute couple, nya!"

:"Emma and Elizabeth weren't too bothersome during the ceremony, were they? They were both so excited, they wouldn't stop fidgeting... Oh, and congratulations!"

:"Watching two of Sun Haven's citizens joined in matrimony is truly heartwarming. Congratulations, [Player]."

:"May your marriage be as beautiful and eternal as the moon!"

:"This is the biggest wedding I've ever been seen. It seems like half the town is here!"

:"W-what? Cry? I can't help it... I always cry at weddings...!"

:"Don't worry, I was on alert through the whole ceremony."

:"This is the start of a union between you and yours, [Player]. May it be a blessed and happy one."

:"Human ceremonies are so much more practical than Elven ones. It's funny how our cultures differ, even in celebration."

:"That's it? No one is even going to start a fight? Boooring."

:"Is that the end of the ceremony? Hm."

:"What a wonderful ceremony! It's good to have nice things like this to focus on. It's not just a special day for you, you know. The whole town is celebrating."

:"Well, [Player]. Here's to happy years with the person of your dreams."

:"You finally tied the knot, [Player]! I hope you have a happy marriage!"

:"Don't worry about the chairs, I'll gather them all up."

:"Looks like you landed the big fish!"

:"Days like this remind us what it means to be part of a community."

:"The best thing about marriage? Permanent workout partner! Hm, when is the last time Giuseppe joined me on a jog..."

:"Tonya ran a marathon the day after our wedding... I slept in."

:"Farmer! Are you going to have a baby now??"

:"Hello, farmer! Liam told us to say congratulations...... Congratulations!!"

:"Can we play games now?"

:"Do I have to get married like this someday, too?"

:"Here's to many happy years together!"

Wishing for a Child

Wishing for a child cutscene
Player:	I want to have a child.
:	I was in the middle of some important city planning when an urge I couldn't ignore took over me. Why am I not surprised you were behind it, love? You're wishing for children, aren't you? You actually think I'll settle down and have a kid, [Player]? Well... It WOULD be nice to have a little version of myself running around. The world had better beware!
Player:	Let's do it.
:		I hope you're ready to be the second favorite parent, my dear.
Your wish has been made. The magic of the wish will make your house ready for the new baby! Next time you sleep, the magic's powers will take hold…
Player:	Actually... I'm not ready yet.
:		Then why are we wasting our time here? Let's go. We can come back when you're ready.
