“Well we all know the Balzer hoard all the money…” Frowns Obber, “They run all the industry to the North, more or less, no conspiracy <span class="mu-i">there</span>, nope… the Vaan-Mok and the Hiin historically lived in the South, but if there’s one thing Vaan-Mok and Hiin can agree on, it’s that they hate each other… those settlements were long gone before Mikk moved in.”
And uh, why’d they start fighting again?
“Because it’s in their nature, if ya’ ask me!” Obber explains as if giving a college lecture! “People give me flack about it all the time, but I’ve read the literature–did you know that Vaan-Mok and Hiin neighborhoods here in Crossroads are <span class="mu-s">TWO</span> times more violent than Balzer ones? Granted, that’s nothing compared to Skog areas, but-”

You’re uh… a World Citizen too, you stammer! Yep, just trying to get along…
Obber’s friendly gaze suddenly turns deathly serious. “... you sayin’ we should all get along, friend?”
Well uh, yea, you nod, strength in unity, right?
Obber's stare slowly brightens as an idea takes root in his eyes! “Hey… yea… strength in unity… That’s good. That’s a good idea…”
