{% hint style="danger" %}
*If an **NPC** isn't online (their discord account isn't online) or their status on discord is set to **Do Not Disturb** (small red circle) then speaking with that NPC is temporarily disabled!*

\
*The reason for an NPC not being available is either due to an error in the code being fixed or a new feature being implemented for that specific NPC.*
