Ant Kingdom, Residential
Ali: Oh, hello there! I don't have much to offer, but make yourselves comfortable.
[Quest: Book Return!]
[first talk]
Ali: Oh, hello there! Are you explorers?
Kabbu: Indeed, good sir. We've taken your request.
Ali: Oh, thank you! I really, really need you to return this book to the palace library for me.
Ali: It's...quite past the return date!
Vi: Huh? You're not an Ant though, right? How'd you take it out?
Ali: Oh, I asked Gen and Eri to get the book for me. They seem to be busy, so they can't return it.
Ali: Here's the book. You're really helping me out here!
Vi: Bleh, I hate being an errand Bee…
Ali: The reward will be quite worth it! So please make haste, for the sake of my record…
Ali: Oh, and, deliver it to Libren, ok? Brooke's scary enough without turning in late…
Leif: Sure thing. Leave it to us.
[talk holding book]
Ali: Please deliver it promptly! The wait worries me…
[talk post-delivery]
Ali: Oh, you delivered it! Thank you!
Leif: It was a walk in the park.
Vi: Now you get to deliver our reward!
Ali: Of course. This should be enough, I think!
Vi: Nice! Hard, cold berries!
Ali: By the way...I-I do have another book I need returned... I kinda forgot…
(minibubble) Vi: Seriously!?
Vi: This is like, super inefficient! We're charging double!
Ali: S-sorry! I gave you all the spare berries I had, though…
Kabbu: It's alright, Vi. We can return it after a briefing!
Vi: That's not the point!
Leif: Just this once, Ali. We'll definitely charge next time.
Ali: T-Thank you... I'm very grateful!

Textbox: --Status Effects and You--
By Ali.
Textbox: In battle, there are many different status effects. The most common are: Poison, Numb, Sleep and Freeze.
Textbox: Poison will hurt you at the end of your turn, but you can fight normally.
Textbox: The other 3, however, prevent you from doing an action in battle.
Textbox: Numb paralyzes you, but your stiff body gains 1 defense point!
Textbox: Sleep gets cured when you get hit, and you'll recover HP as you rest.
Textbox: Freeze stops you from acting and lowers your defense by 1. Being attacked will thaw you out!
Textbox: Every being resists statuses in different ways. Plants don't fall asleep, for example!
Textbox: Mastering status effects is the key to becoming an expert fighter!

Someone, please deliver this book for me. I am too busy to go myself!
My house is in the Ant City Residential Area. Meet me there!

Leif: We're getting a huge nerd feeling.
Kabbu: Don't judge a bug by his cover, Leif!
Leif: It worked with you two, so...
