[Quest Start Text Message]
JANITOR
MP, is that you? You can call me Janitor. I’m on a mission for some… Good, clean fun. Meet me on the Promenade. Don’t slip and fall on the way!
[Quest Info Dialog]
JANITOR
Hey, watch it! I just spit shined that floor. Wait, are you MP? THE MP? Well, color me… underwhelmed. Let’s not get too chummy. You can just call me Janitor. Listen, I don’t really care much for this Base-ket-ball balderdash you play. But if it gets you off my beautiful, newly cleaned floors, I’m all for it. Do they score points in this game of yours? 40 Points sounds like a big number. That’ll keep you busy, I’m certain.

Quest 3: “WORKING HARD OR HARDLY WORKING”
[START OF QUEST]
[Quest Info Dialog]
JANITOR
Eh, I don’t care if you scored 40 Points in your silly game. That’s nothing compared to cleaning up the kids’ ball pit after a day in the sun. Now that requires stamina… that should be a sport! I guess the scoring points part of your game is too easy. So how about instead winning 5 games in a row? You’ve got plenty of time to kill… not me, I have an ACTUAL job.

Quest 5: “TOTAL CAKEWALK”
[START OF QUEST]
[Quest Info Dialog]
JANITOR
Pfft! Seems like winning 5 games in a row was a total cakewalk. Now, that’s a sport, right? Cakewalking? Well, if it isn’t, it should be – THAT is a sport I’d watch. Well, as long as I didn’t have to clean up after it. Sounds messy. Clearly, I have no idea what poses a challenge in this sport you’re SOOO obsessed with. They must have some sort of trophies or awards – maybe something like “Player of the Game”. Go do that…

JANITOR
Poppycock! I’m still unimpressed. Seems like I’m handing goodies over to you for doing nothing. Goodies I’m sure you’ll discard in the nearest trash receptacle, even though it’s full. Ugh, this ship and its passengers… okay, Mr. Smarty Pants! If you can get Player of the Game once, why not 3 times?

HAH! I’m prepared this time. I told a fellow Janitor about our little games at the last Janitor Soirée, and dang that guy is annoying and really, really bad at his job! But he gave me a hot tip on how I could ruin your day. So, I’ll just spit it out instead of wasting my breath. Score 1,000 Points total! Not saying I’ll be impressed. But whatever – I got toilets to clean and floors to mop…

Well, I guess you are pretty good at this sportsball thing… what's it called? Oh right, basketball, that thing you are so obsessed with! Don't hold your breath for me to become a fan or attend any games, or even remember your name. I've got work to do, and I love my work… who needs basketball when I've already got buckets? AHA! I got that one right! I think…
