Heiku's Six Week Program gains a new client

[Anume]

---I'm in Tarandue, teaching a bunch of wuss gnomes the meaning of proper bicep extension when a Knight contacts me and asks for more information on my six-week program---

(Charmed) (White Aura) Tyberidis's Demon Hunter stands here.

(Translucent) (White Aura) Tyberidis is here.

The sun slowly disappears in the west.

You are hungry.

As the sun sets, the churchbells of the Temple of Darkness announce the onset of night.

Tyberidis closes his eyes momentarily.

Tyberidis's eyes are filled with serenity.

Heiku flexes every muscle in his upper body, almost busting right out of his flesh, his veins

bulging to maximum capacity.

Heiku strikes a bodybuilders pose.

You say 'HEIKU HERE!'

Tyberidis offers his tiny hand.

Tyberidis says 'My names Tyberidis.'

Heiku reaches out and takes your hand in a mighty strong handshake.

The night has begun.

Tyberidis says 'I am sure I am probably too small to train.'

What first appears to be a small child reveals itself to be something

more. A rather short and slender halfling stares curiously in every

direction with his huge hazel eyes. He obviously shaves the crown of his

head, which leaves an odd horseshoe of curly brown hair to ring the back of

his head. His seemingly large ears protrude and dominate each side of his

head. Thin brown eyebrows wrap slowly over his big eyes before curling up

on the ends. While thin, his face somehow retains that cherubic nature his

kin are known for. A round little nose casts only the slightest shadow

across his kind smile. His slightly puffy cheeks have a natural pink color

as does his rounded chin.

His narrow shoulders slump and his shabby orange robes only grow thinner as

they descend. His skinny arms fail to fill the sleeves of his robes in

length or in girth. They look akin to the striker arms of odd orange bells.

His tiny hands barely reach the ends of his sleeves, somehow they seem the

largest part of him. A simple broach clasps his robes across his left

shoulder and a worn pack rests heavily on his back. A narrow weapons belt

cinches his robes at the waist, on his right hip dangles a tiny mace, where

a small buckler rests on the right. A clean pair of white trousers covers

his stick like legs below the tattered hem or his orange robes. An odd

little pair of tan boots adorns his feet, only rising half way up his calf

the tiny boots curl up and backward at the toe.

He is a master explorer.

Tyberidis is in excellent condition.

Tyberidis is using:

stuff

You say 'BROTHERR, NO ONE IS TOO SMALL!'

You say 'THE BASIC PRINCIPLE IS TO TAKE YOUR BEST AND MAKE IT BETTER!'

Tyberidis sits down and thinks deeply.

Heiku starts running in place. 'YOU GOTTA KEEP THAT HEARTRATE UP!!'

Tyberidis mimics Heiku but is obviously winded from the start.

You nod at Tyberidis.

You say 'KEEP THOSE ARMS PUMPIN BROTHER!'

Heiku jogs around you in a circle offering positive mental support.

Tyberidis gasps 'How, how long? How long do I run?'

You say 'UNTIL IT BURNS...AND THEN ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES! YOU'VE GOTTA DIG DEEP BROTHERRR!'

Tyberidis tries vainfully to lift his knees as he runs in place.

Heiku starts running twice as fast, his face turning red. 'YOU'VE GOT WANT IT! YOU'VE GOTTA TAKE IT!

Tyberidis says 'This is awful hard, when may we have a snack?'

You get a bottle of milk from a sturdy backpack.

You give a bottle of milk to Tyberidis.

You say 'THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF RIGHT THERE BROTHERR!'

Tyberidis says 'Milk?'

You get a bottle of milk from a sturdy backpack.

You drink milk from a bottle of milk.

You agree absolutely.

Heiku drops down and executes ten flawless push-ups.

Tyberidis takes a drink of milk and begins to run harder.

Tyberidis closes his eyes momentarily.

Heiku watches you running and nods in approval. 'NOW QUICKLY! DROP DOWN AND WORK AS MANY PUSHUPS AS

YOU CAN!!

Heiku starts doing some jumping-jacks while continously watching you work.

Tyberidis drops to his knewws and pukes.

You slap Tyberidis on the back on a job well done.

Tyberidis says 'This is way hard.'

You say 'NO PAIN, NO GAIN BROTHERR! SWEAT IS SUCCESS! VOMIT IS VICTORY!'

Heiku wraps a hand around your bicep. 'GETTIN STRONGER ALREADY, I CAN FEEL IT!

Tyberidis does a push up asking 'Why do you help people like this?'

Tyberidis does another pushup.

You say 'THIS WORLD NEEDS TO WAKE UP TO THE DILEMMA IT'S FACING BROTHERR! THINK EVERYONE WANTS TO

SEE FAT BODIES AROUND TOWN?!'

You say 'FAGETTABOUTIT!'

Tyberidis's protective shield dissipates.

Tyberidis attempts a third push up and his feeble arms give out sending him flat on his face.

Tyberidis rubs his nose.

Heiku helps you up. 'GOOD WORKOUT BROTHERR!

Tyberidis says 'You are different than other black knights I have observed.'

You say 'WELL OF COURSE, I'M HEIKU BROTHERR! I'M AMAZING!'

You say 'THOSE OTHER WIMPS ARE ALL ABOUT THE NEGATIVE.'

You say 'YOU GOTTA STAY POSITIVE IF YOU WANT TO REACH YOUR DREAMS!'

Tyberidis says 'Your sense of purpose is impressive.'

Tyberidis says 'Ohh, what do you dream about?'

Tyberidis says 'I dream of pipeweed cakes and fried tubers.'

You say 'GIVING BACK TO THIS WORLD THAT HAS HELPED ME BECOME WHAT I AM, THAT'S MY DREAM!'

You say 'BROTHERR, YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT! YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK IT OFF LATER!'

Tyberidis looks respectfully at you.

Tyberidis says 'Impressive.'

You say 'MY DREAM IS TO LEAD PEOPLE TO SELF-REALIZATION AND HELP THEM FIND THE PATHWAY TO THEIR

DREAMS!'

Tyberidis looks at his lunch on the ground.

Tyberidis says 'I think I may have over done it for my first time.'

You shake your head.

Tyberidis rubs his belly.

You say 'IMAGINE THAT AS WEAKNESS BROTHERR!! THAT WAS WEAKNESS YOU JUST CAUSED TO LEAVE YOUR BODY!'

You say 'LEFT IT RIGHT THERE IN THE GROUND! NOW YOU'RE STRONGER!'

Tyberidis says 'Really?'

Tyberidis sits down and thinks deeply.

Tyberidis beams broadly at nothing in particular.

You slap Tyberidis on the back on a job well done.

Tyberidis says 'I like this program.'

Tyberidis sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'I'M OFFERING IT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS IT, BROTHERR! ANY OF YOUR KNIGHTS, ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS

'

Tyberidis says 'Does the program cost much to complete?'

You shake your head.

You say 'FOR A SMALL FEE OF 200,000 COINS, YOU WILL GET ALL THE NUTRIONAL SUPPORT, FITNESS GUIDANCE,

AND WORKOUT OUTFITS IN MY SIX-WEEK PROGRAM!'

Tyberidis says 'I see.'

You say 'WE OFFER GROUP-RATE DISCOUNTS AND FREE INTRODUCTORY CLASSES!'

Tyberidis says 'Well thats a lot of money but one could not expect you to aid people for free.'

Tyberidis sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'THERE WAS A FREE OFFER PERIOD FOR SOME TIME, AND I'M SURE SOMEDAY SOON AGAIN WE WILL OPEN

THAT DOOR!'

Tyberidis says 'How many forty twos is that?, well I will just tell people a bunch.'

You say 'BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT OFF YOUR HEALTH!'

Tyberidis says 'So you will aid anyone regardless of race or religion?'

You nod.

You say 'AS LONG AS THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE, I'LL HELP ANYONE BROTHERR!'

Tyberidis says 'Provided they pay the proper fees of course.'

Tyberidis sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE AWAY A PROGRAM OR TWO, TO THOSE IN DIRE NEED.'

Tyberidis says 'Perhaps accompany me to the bank sir, I would pay the fee and get started as soon as

possible.'

You beckon for Tyberidis to follow -- sure hope they do!

The Grand Bank of Rheydin

[Exits: south]

Denethar the banker is here to take your money.

Tyberidis flies in.

Tyberidis's Demon Hunter walks in.

You have 10277 gold, and 422276 experience (16924 exp to level).

Tyberidis gives you 200000 gold.

Tyberidis says 'A ninja is about.'

You say 'BE CAREFUL BROTHERR! I'LL REVIEW OUR WORKOUT AND FORMULATE A CUSTOMIZED ONE FOR YOU!'

Tyberidis thanks you heartily.

Tyberidis says 'I will see you soon sire.'

You say 'I GOTTA GO PUMP SOME IRON NOW!'

With a barbell in each hand, Heiku lays on his back and begins pressing both weights up into the air

, completing a set of eight perfect bench presses
