Gravedigger
Dialogue
Hello there, Stranger! Mind the open grave there!
Watch your step: you don't want to go into a grave before it's necessary!
Hello! Welcome to the graveyard. Will you be staying long?
Hello! Bringing me some new business, are you?
My name's Dax. Dax Treebill. I'm the Reverie Hollow gravedigger.
Family's been digging graves here for nigh on a hundred years.
Heck, I dug the grave for my father, and he dug his pop's grave.
Business is slow lately, but it'll pick up, you'll see! Always does.
Well, back to work! These graves ain't going to dig themselves!
I'm fine, fine. My back is a little creaky these days and my left knee hurts when it rains.
But I'm still alive, and that's what counts. These dead folks here don't feel no pain at all.
Business is slow, though. Real slow. It's odd. I know Biddy Swoon passed, but where's her body?
And she ain't the first to go missing. Well, maybe her people took her body away. I don't know.
But I'll keep digging graves. It's a family tradition.
This is Reverie Hollow's graveyard.
It's the most popular place in the village. Folks have been dying to get in here. Heh. That's my one joke.
Business sure is slow. I don't know where the dead are going, but it's not here.
So I wait here, with my Dad and Grandad for company. They don't talk much, but they bring me comfort.
If you're planning to stick around, I'd go see that Pastor Fazool fellow. He seems to run things these days.
Why yes I do! Thank you for offering!
Yes. I do need help.
I will take you up on your kind offer.
Well, you look trustworthy enough. Sure.
No thank you. I'm fine.
Not today, but thanks.
Try back tomorrow. Something might come along.
I'm not one for asking favors. No.
