Chuck

Snakemouth Way, Outside Chuck’s

Kabbu: Excuse me, bug of old complexion. Is everything alright?

Vi: Hey! Kabbu! We're supposed to be adventuring! Snakemouth Den? Endless riches?

Kabbu: Sorry, Vi. I cannot ignore an old bug in distress.

Chuck: First of all, name's Chuck. And I bet I'm younger than both of ya! But if you've gotta know...

Chuck: I'm almost done arranging my cozy rest space for travelers going to Snakemouth Den. I just can't pull out this darn weed!

Vi: You call this cozy?

Kabbu: Chuck, Snakemouth Den is more dangerous than rain on a wedding day. Shouldn't you be warning travelers?

Chuck:...Look, will you help me or not?

Vi: I'm not doing any pulling. At least not for free.

Kabbu: Hm. Watch this, Vi. If I press |button,5| near small bushes or rocks...

Vi: Woah! Nice.

Kabbu: Something like this is no match for my horn!

Chuck: I'll be! You actually helped me! This made my week!

Vi: You've got a reward ready, right?

Kabbu: But Vi! Helping others is already its own reward.

(minibubble) Kabbu: And you didn't do anything.

Vi: It's really, really not.

Chuck: Hohohoh. No worries. Helpful bugs deserve gratitude! I ain't got much, but please take this.

Vi: Berries, so many berries!

Chuck: Use 'em to buy something nice later, alright?

Kabbu: Thank you, we surely will. We'll be going now. Make sure to warn others of the danger!

Textbox: If you are near something that can be interacted with using the horn, a ! will show up over the party leader’s head.

[Talk again]

Chuck: Good luck, ye two!

Snakemouth Way, Chuck’s Abode

[First discussion with Chuck]

Chuck: Hey. It's good to see ya again. You've made a friend, too!

Leif: We're friends?

Vi: Of course we are!

Kabbu: Indeed. After all we've been through, we can trust and depend on each other.

Leif: ...We can get used to that.

Chuck: Hohoho. I'm only glad that you didn't get hurt exploring. Found any treasure?

Vi: Yup! As expected from me!

Chuck: Now nobody can tell ya you're just a little rookie. Stay proud!

Kabbu: Thank you, Chuck. Your hut is progressing nicely as well.

Leif: The hammock looks nice to sleep in.

Chuck: Drop by anytime, and you can sleep for free!

[Talk again]

Chuck: Hello there! Come for a nap?

Textbox: You bet.

Maybe later.

[Quest: I Want a New Taste]

Chuck: *Grumble...*

Kabbu: Chuck, we saw your posting on the quest board.

Chuck: Oh! It's you guys. Ya did? Any luck? I'm starving!

[give something else]

Chuck: This isn't a hearty breakfast at all! That's meant to be cooked mushrooms and eggs!

Chuck: Go visit Fry in the commercial plaza. I can't wait much longer!

[exit out]

Chuck: Well? Where is it? Don't leave a hungry bug waiting!

[give]

Chuck: Oh, my dear goodness. It's beautiful!

Chuck: *chomp chomp*

Chuck: Whew. Thanks, you all. Yer always helping me out.

Chuck: I was so desperate I ate a raw Mushroom. Never really liked them…

Leif: No problem. The breakfast platter is one of our favorites.

Vi: A bit too savoury for me…

Chuck: I've got a better reward for ya this time!

Chuck: That might look like a plain rock, but it packs a punch!

Chuck: Just like me when I don't have food…

Kabbu: Thank you, Chuck. It was nice to see you again.

Chuck: Be safe, now! If you ever feel tired, I'd be glad to lend my place to you!

[End quest]

[Quest: Card Masters of Bugaria]

[Talk with Card Masters Quest but not having picked up I Want A New Taste quest]

Chuck: Hm! Spy Cards, huh?

Leif: You know about them?

Chuck: I sure do! But I'm starvin'... Can we duel after ye do me a favor?

Chuck: I posted a request in the old board in the city... Get that sorted out, and we can talk cards.

Chuck: Scratch my back, and I will scratch yours!

Chuck: Hey hey! Are those Spy Cards you have there?

Leif: Indeed. We are looking for the Card Masters.

Chuck: Ho ho! Been a while since someone came by to challenge me.

Kabbu: Wait, really? You're a card master?

Vi: Carmina did call him old…

Chuck: She best get her eyes checked! I fight like a young champ!

Chuck: Back in the day, they called me the Flash Summoner!

Leif: We're eager to see the "Flash Summoner" duel.

Chuck: Really? Are you ready to face an old champ?

Textbox: Indeed we are!

Not yet.

[lose]

Chuck: Oho! I've still got it!

Vi: Come on, Leif! Just try again!

(minibubble) Kabbu: You can do it!

[win]

Chuck: Oof. Could I actually be getting old...?

Kabbu: Nonsense, you fought like the best of them!

Chuck: It was good. Best I've had for a long time. I wouldn't give this to just anybody!

[at least one Master remaining]

Chuck: You've still got some Card Masters to go though, don't ya?

Vi: Got any good hints?

Chuck: Patience, ye lot! Here's a good hint for sure: "Happy, in a bountiful village."

Leif: Um, anything more specific?

Chuck: Card Master protocol! I'm sure ye'll find her, though.

Kabbu: Thank you, Chuck.

Chuck: No problem, yer always helping me out! Come back for a rematch, will ya?

Leif: When we settle this business. For now, we must go.

[All Masters beaten]

Chuck: Look at that, folks! You defeated all of us masters!

Leif: Mhm. It was pretty fun.

Chuck: Show that card I gave ya to the gent at the pier. You'll get a good price to travel to Metal Island.

(minibubble) Vi: Discount!

Chuck: Come back for a rematch, ye hear? Gets a bit lonely here…

Leif: When we settle this business. For now, we must go.

Chuck: Back so soon? What can this fellow help you with?

Textbox: We've come to rest.

Card rematch!

Just saying hi.

Chuck: Hey, folks. I wanted to try entering the eating competition, but I don't think my old stomach's going to keep up...

Chuck: You young'uns did it! You've come so far!

Kabbu: Hehe. Thanks, Chuck! Enjoy the feast!

Questgiver

Living far away from people is hard, and someone as old as me has trouble gathering food.

Can someone bring this old bug a Hearty Breakfast?

Meet me at my hut in Snakemouth Way.

[Snakemouth Way, Chuck’s Abode]

Leif: It's some old bug.

Vi: Yeah, whoever that is.

Kabbu: Vi, you know fully well that's Chuck!

Kabbu: His hut has been coming along well, we should say hi.

Vi: Before he takes a nap.

Leif: Or he croaks.

Kabbu: *Grumble.*

[Golden Settlement, Farms]

Kabbu: Goodness, it's impressive to see Chuck walk all the way over here.

Leif: Bet his legs felt super young when he heard about the festival.
