Can You Hear Me Now
Can You Hear Me Now is a quest obtained by talking to Midnight in Cantermore. She is standing next to a tree on the southwest side of the Cantermore University courtyard. She asks the player to listen to her voice for a moment.
This quest can only be done if the player is still a foal.
Client
Midnight is a young foal who wishes to be a singer at the Cantermore Theater when she grows up, and to do so she wishes to practice, practice, practice. She would like the player's help. If the player agrees to help, she will have them listen at different spots to make sure she is able to be heard properly.
- Note: The player may choose to end the conversation in each of the first three dialogue choices. Doing so will not start the quest and it will not be logged into the journal. Once the quest has actually started, there are several opportunities to stop helping, but the quest will remain unfinished in the journal until the player fully helps Midnight.
Journal: Midnight Breeze asked me to help test her singing skills. She wants me to stand a bit further and listen to her from a distance.
- Stand on marked spot and listen
First attempt
Walk towards the quest marker. When close enough, the conversation will automatically initiate. Midnight will sing a tune and ask the player how it sounded. Regardless of how the player responds, Midnight will ask for more assistance. The player may reject her and still reinitiate the quest at this point.
Will continue to help
The quest advances to the second attempt.

Won't continue to help

Journal: I listened to Midnight Breeze once, but she wants me to do it again. I refused, but if I change my mind...

Second attempt
Midnight will sing again and her voice will crack. Either dialogue results in her drinking some water and then getting it right. She asks the player to return to her.
Journal: Midnight Breeze asked me to help test her singing skills. She wants me to stand a bit further and listen to her from a distance.
- Return to Midnight Breeze
Midnight will again ask how her performance was and either response will prompt her to ask for more help. The player may express concern about Midnight overextending herself, but she remains determined. The player may chose to continue to help or not.

Third attempt
Midnight will sing a third time, but something goes wrong. The player will need to talk to her again to find out what.
Journal: Something went wrong. I need to ask midnight if she is all right!
- Return to Midnight Breeze
Whether or not the player chooses to be supportive in the first dialogue choice, and regardless of all other dialogue choices, Midnight will eventually ask for help one more time and the quest advances to the fourth attempt.
Journal: After some reassuring, Midnight thinks she can perform better than she did last time. She wants me to return back to the previous spot and give it another try.
- Stand back and listen to Midnight
Fourth attempt
Midnight will sing the note successfully this time.
Journal: Sucess! Midnight sang pretty well. I need to return back and congratulate her with that.
- Talk to Midnight Breeze
Talk to Midnight one more time and she will be grateful for the player's help.
Journal: I helped Midnight Breeze to test her singing skills. There were some difficulties, but after I reassured her, she sounded pretty well even at a great distance. To show her gratitude, she gave me some of her allowance money.
Rewards
Midnight rewards you 10 Bits and 150 XP in all talents.
- BUG: This quest might break after the second interaction, and interacting with Midnight in this case would not close the quest.
- BUG: A room reset may cause an issue where the journal narrative goes missing. It is unknown if this will break the quest or not.
