Janessa

Janessa is an Alfiq who wound up in the possession of Brokk the Smuggler after a night of merriment, trapped in a sack. After killing him and opening the sack, she will ask you return her to her sister in Black Heights. She is the third cousin of Sereyne (see note below).

Quest-Related EventsEdit

When you open the sack, Janessa will appear in front of you:

Janessa: "Wah! Who—where? Huh? Ugh, not again."

Speak with her to learn what her story is:

"Look, whatever happened last night was just the wine talking. That's not who I am. A little too much to drink and these things happen. Let's not make it weird."

Excuse me?

"I didn't leave Senchal with you last night? Whew, well that makes this easier. You mind taking me back to Black Heights? My sister's probably worried and I'm really in no shape for hiking right now."

First, could you explain to me how you wound up in that sack?

"Sometimes I have a little too much to drink when I'm enjoying a night out and I get picked up by someone who thinks passing out in their lap after rubbing against their legs is so cute. I get it. I'd want to take me home too, but I'm not some stray."

So they toss you in a sack?

"Ew. No. Usually I wake up on a pillow in someone's room and have to explain that I'm not going to be their pet. Sometimes I have to claw my way out of a window, but that's preferable to the talk.
So, can I go home now?"

Right. I'll get you back to your family.

After returning her to Juisa in Black Heights, Janessa has a choice few words:

Janessa: "Ow! Hey! I said carry me home, not toss me!"

Juisa: "If not for them, you'd be in a gutter, or buried in a pile of potato sacks more likely. What did you do this time?"

Janessa: "Don't talk down to me. I mean—you know what I mean. Cutting loose once in your life would do you some good."

Juisa: "Juisa is glad you think so. Thank you for volunteering to take over her chores while she takes the week off."

Janessa: "Ugh... kill me."

Janessa can be then be spoken to to learn about another of her misadventures:

"Chores... this is almost as bad as the time I woke up in some old ladies junk shop and she tried making me wear these ugly old doll clothes. She didn't care for my backtalk and tossed me in the basement with a dozen other Khajiit stuffing packages."

She kept you prisoner?

"Can you believe it? I was trapped there for a month before I slipped into a delivery and got shipped out with a pile of musty coach cushions.
That old bag was crazy. Talking to us like we were her babies. The cream and cookies were good though."

Do you remember who this person was?

"Granny garbage, or something. I'd prefer to forget.
I thought I'd wind up stuffed and on her mantel with her other precious darlings. Better that than the ones still in the basement. Half of them were just zombies stuffing parcels day and night."

Juisa wasn't kidding. You really do get into a lot of trouble.

"I do not! I'm just too beautiful for my own good. And where do people get off picking me up and dragging me off wherever they want? That's abduction any way you look at it. That's who you should be frowning at!"

NotesEdit

• Sereyne's commentary makes it apparent that the two are cousins:

  • "I have a third cousin, twice removed, who woke up in a bag the other day. She gets carried away with her drinking—not like me—and then gets carried away. In a bag.
    Maybe I'll chaperone next time. Drink her wine. For her benefit, of course."
