In-Game Description[]
Well, that's one way to stay sane out here: go stark, raving bonkers. I wonder what happens if I go to the place marked on my map and get him his doll?
This is without a doubt the ugliest doll I've ever seen.
I do feel a bit bad for stealing these people's star puppet.
I hope Johnny Bolton, Special Agent isn't really going to waste this first aid kit on his doll. I wonder how deep the madness goes? It's probably turtles all the way down.
Now things are getting interesting. What exactly is "ephemeral linen"? How is it ephemeral? And what's this Mystery House I'm supposed to find it in?
Very odd stuff, this ephemeral linen. It looks like any old cloth, but it's hard to focus my eyes on it.
I wonder what he's going to do with this? Seems a shame to waste it on a doll.
A Suit of Blending? I wonder if it would actually make someone harder to see.
Why am doing this lunatic all of these favours? I suppose because it's more fun than scrounging for food. And I'd never have known about that Mystery House otherwise.
You know, I bet I could make one of these blending suits for myself.
That could come in awfully handy.
That was all terribly odd. Johnny's stark raving mad. But he seems to be enjoying himself more than anyone else I've met out here. I'll have to remember that. If nothing else works out, I shall simply become a raving lunatic.
Walkthrough[]
The player had to go to the Avon Puppet Theatre and steal Peachy from there, and bring the doll back to Johnny. Then they had to craft a First Aid Kit, and give that to Johnny too.
Johnny would then inform the player to get Ephemeral Linen from the Gardner House, however, instead of getting in using histoplasma mushrooms, the player had to be on Joy.
The Gardner House spawned on Lud's Holm, so the player had to find a way to cross the bridge to get there.
After the player had gotten the linen, they would've had to return to Eel Pie Holm and give the linen to Johnny. The player would then be given the blueprint for crafting the Suit of Blending, which they would also have to craft and give Johnny.
Once all of this was completed, the player would get a Suit of Blending in their inventory.
Transcript[]
First Encounter[]
Johnny: Welcome to the Special Operations Executive! You're the new agent, aren't you? Alfie Wossname? Great. Here are the other agents. This is Charlie Croker, Jack Carter, J.O.E Vandelour, and Nigel Powers. But we're missing Peachy. Peachy Carnehan. He's been kidnapped, and you have to rescue him. All right? Brilliant. Here's everything you need to rescue Peachy.
Conversing without Peachy[]
Johnny: Where's Peachy? You have to bring Peachy! ... We can't play without Peachy! ... If you won't play, I won't play!
Returning Peachy to Johnny[]
Johnny: Brilliant. Knew we could count on you, Alfie. Hey, everybody, Peachy's back! But look ... Charlie Croker's been wounded. He needs a first aid kit. Can you get one? I knew you could. Here's the top secret blueprint for making one. And you can find the ingredients on this map.
Conversing without a First Aid Kit[]
Johnny: Where's the first aid kit? We need a first aid kit! For Charlie!
Johnny: Go out and get a first aid kit, all right?
Returning with a First Aid Kit[]
Johnny: Okay, here's the mission we've all been training for. You have to find the Secret Invisible House, and bring back the Ephemeral Linen. Now listen carefully. You can only see the Secret Invisible House at night, and only when you're very, very happy. It's somewhere around here. Once you've got the Ephemeral Linen, we'll be able to construct our secretest weapon. It's called a Suit of Blending for Peachy. We can use it to sneak into Dr. Verloc's secret lair and stop his evil plans for good! All right, Alfie! Don't come back without the Ephemeral Linen!
Conversing without the Linen[]
Johnny: Well, where's the Ephemeral Linen? We need it to stop Dr. Verloc! Where's your sense of professionalism, Alfie? Now go back out and get it!
Johnny: If you won't play, I won't play!
Returning with the Linen[]
Johnny: Alfie! You're back! Did you bring the Ephemeral Linen?
Johnny: Brilliant! Now we can make the Suit of Blending. Here's the secret instructions.
Conversing without the Suit of Blending[]
Johnny: If you won't play, I won't play!
Returning with the Suit of Blending[]
Johnny: Fantastic! Now, you and Peachy can sneak into the secret lair of Dr. Verloc. You'll need this to get in. Good luck! We're all counting on you. -- Oh. You probably want a Suit of Blending yourself. Peachy can't do it all by himself.
Talking to Bolton after the quest[]
Johnny: We're running out of time! You have to stop Dr. Verloc! Okay, go, go!
Changes[]
A major issue with this quest was that even if the player had taken Peachy, the objective would not complete, nor could they give the doll back to Johnny.
Reloading the save with the doll out of the player's inventory fixed the issue, but it was eventually fixed later on so that the player wouldn't have to do so.
Currently, the entire quest line got separated into Treehouse, Get the Dolly, and Mystery House.
