Unnamed Ant Kingdom Bugs
Ant Kingdom, Residential
Ant: Heheheh! You like my outskirts Seedling hat? I made it myself with a bunch of leaves!
Ant: There's a LOT of Seedlings species. Not all of them have leaves, though.
[Npc Spy]
Vi: Ants can grow hair!?
Leif: Those are leaves, Vi.
(minibubble) Kabbu: (Really?)
Kabbu: R-Right…
Cicada: Woah. you're Team Snakemouth, right?
(minibubble) Vi: Yup!
Cicada: Be careful when heading out to the wild! Some flying creatures are so sturdy, it takes two hits to bring 'em down!
Vi: No probs. I'm the queen of multi-hit super smackdowns!
[Ch 5]
Cicada: Everyone's acting strong, but that invasion had us all crying…
[postgame]
Cicada: It's all over, huh? Thank you... We can enjoy life peacefully now.
(minibubble) Kabbu: No problem!
[Npc Spy]
Kabbu: Hmmmmmm…
Vi: You okay there?
Kabbu: Look at the middle green coating covering its chest!
Kabbu: Maybe I should stick some leaves on myself...and try to emulate the look?
Leif: Were you seriously thinking about that?
[first talk]
Ant: Oh hey there! Feel free to sit down and relax.
[talk again]
Ant: Just between you and me... There were some weirdos that used to hang around here in this spot some time ago.
Ant: I don't know what their deal was, but I'm glad they are gone. Though you can still feel their presence around, y'know?
[Npc Spy]
Kabbu: You know, this is a pretty good spot to sit in.
Vi: Perfect for some music!
Leif: Or for long team discussions... Let's enjoy it.
Bee: Huff ... How can any bug live here? The sun is so strong...
[Npc Spy]
Leif: Look, Vi. A Bee's come to keep you company.
Vi: Err, with how she's faring, maybe she should go back to the Hive...
Ant Kingdom, Commercial
Termite: Ah! You look like you like collecting Medals. Lemme tell you something…
Termite: Ever picked up a resistance Medal and thought "Pfft! I can just block. I don't need them!"
Termite: Well, they actually have a hidden effect! If you have them equipped and eat an item that causes a status effect…
Termite: Let's just say the results of that experiment should be obvious, huh?
[after buying all Merab’s medals]
Termite: You bought ALL Medals!? I've been waiting for someone like you…
Termite: " MYSTERY?" is the code...
Vi: Huh?
Termite: You'll have to figure it out on your own...
[Npc Spy]
Kabbu: What a fanatic! Some bugs truly live to equip Medals!
Vi: Medals ARE awesome! Wish they were cheaper, though…
Leif: Costing a bit less MP wouldn't be the worst, either.
Beetle: I...I'm not made for fighting, you see? So I keep losing berries running from scary things…
Beetle: It may just be me, but...the scarier the monster, the more berries I end up dropping...?
[Npc Spy]
Kabbu: Poor fellow. It must be rough being so preoccupied while traveling.
Leif: That's what explorers are for. Post an escort quest, or something.
Vi: But then you have to pay a reward!
Leif: As opposed to dropping berries all over Bugaria?
(Minibubble) Vi: Fair.
[first talk]
Purple Ant: Welcome to the Termacade.
Ant: You are new players, aren't you? Since this is our grand opening, here is something to get you started.
Ant: You can check how many tokens you have in the Key Item Menu.
Ant: Have fun in the Termacade.
[subsequent talks]
Ant: Please enjoy your time in the Termacade and have fun.
[Npc Spy]
Leif: They sure hired the, uh, peppiest Ant for this job.
Vi: You can't sell games with a frown!
Kabbu: M-Maybe she's really happy! Just...on the inside?
Ant Palace, Bridge
Ant: The castle is amazing... Isn't it?
Ant: Our antcestors built it, but I can't imagine where we would start if we needed another anthill...
[Npc Spy, with Maki]
Kabbu: What is this Ant doing?
Maki: She is always staring at the castle. Leave her be.
[Npc Spy, without Maki]
Kabbu: This Ant is always here, looking at the palace.
Vi: Doesn't she have anything better to do?
Leif: You're one to talk.
Ant Palace, Library
Ant: Oh! Hello! Are you explorers? You're writing down spies and team notes for everything in your library, right?
Ant: That's for the best. No need to spy the same enemy twice if you write your thoughts down, is there?
[Spy Ant]
Leif: Her reading speed's quite impressive.
Kabbu: "The Flower We Lived By." Oh dear, I'd been meaning to buy this one!
Vi: Ugh, that one's super sappy. You read that stuff?
Kabbu: It's that promising bee author's first book! Even if she hadn't polished her work yet…
Kabbu: I really want to know what her beginnings were like!
Leif: Hmm. If you vouch that hard for it, we'll give it a go.
Vi: Okay, okay. I don't like it, though.
