Seam

Hee hee...
Welcome, travellers.

Seam: Hee hee...
Welcome, travellers.
You: Greetings, what is your name?
Seam: Name's Seam. Pronounced "Shawm."
And this is my little Seap.
Ha ha ha ha...
Over the years, I've collected odds and ends.
'Course, I've no attachment to any of it.
It's just a hobby of mine.
Around here, you learn to find ways to pass the time...
... or go mad like everyone else.
You: Tell me about CARD KINGDOM.
Seam:Historically, this land was ruled by the Four Kings, from CARD CASTLE to the East.
But, recently, a strange knight appeared...
And three of the kings were locked away.
The remaining king put him and his strange son into power.
This land hasn't seen THIS much chaos since...
Ha ha ha...
Well, you don't need to know about THAT.
You: There's a strange prisoner in the basement of Card Castle.
Seam:Eh...? What are you talking about...? A prisoner with an odd manner...?
...
No, you couldn't possibly be talking about HIM...?
... I see.
After all the trouble I went through to lock him up, you want to release him?
...
Hmm, now that you mention it, it could be troublesome if he was left alone...
Yes, perhaps it's better if you heroes dealt with him now...?
After all, it's not as if whatever happens, will matter in the end.
Perhaps a little chaos might be fun.
So then, take this.
(Seam gives you Jevil's Cell Key.)
Go release that little man. Maybe you can have some fun...
You: I go to the cell and release Jevil
Seam:Jevil, the little jester of cards, having gone completely insane from some otherworldly revelation, cackles madly as he attacks you. He's ridiculously powerful, but eventually, you manage to pacify him, and he respectfully admits defeat.
You: (I return to Seam.)
That clown tried to kill me!
Seam: So you managed to best Jevil, eh?
He... was a funny little man. Once, the court jester. I, the court magician.
A friend...? Could I consider him a friend...? Perhaps, perhaps not.
But he was the only one who matched me in the games we used to play.
One day, he met a strange someone... and since then, he began to change.
He started saying bizarre things that didn't completely make sense -
But didn't completely not make sense, either.
Soon, he began to see the world as a game, and everyone as its participants. He went mad.
As the court mage, and his only companion, I was forced to lock him away... but the strange words he said have stuck in my cotton ever since.
And I wonder, if I hadn't been asked to lock him up...
Would I have found a little more purpose in my life...?
You:Fine... can I see your wares?
Seam: Take your time...
Ain't like it's better spent.

What would you like to buy?
You: Darkburger please
Seam: Hee hee. Thanks for that.
You: Seam, I love you.
Seam: I'm but an cynical old man wasting away in his shop. Go find someone else. (chuckling)
You:Thanks for the items. I'm leaving now
Seam: See you again...
Or not.
Ha ha ha ha...
