Kali

Defiant Root, Commercial

[Quest: Stolen Item]

Kali: I can't believe it! My baby! My handmade, extremely high-quality silk!

Leif: That's gotta be Kali. Excuse us, miss?

Kali: Whatever could you want? Can't you see I'm devastated?

Vi: We're here to help!

Kabbu: You need not suffer any longer. Could you tell us what happened?

Kali: Aah...Explorers! Please excuse me, I've been very on edge.

Kali: I have ample reason to believe bandits have stolen my silk!

Kali: Not any silk, yes? This one costs both time and many berries to manufacture!

Leif: The bandits've really done a number on Defiant Root.

Kabbu: Leave it to us! You will be able to craft again soon!

Kali: So dashing! Please, return it before they ruin it!

Vi: You got it. Start getting that reward ready!

[talk again]

Kali: Oh, what great timing! Could it be you've retrieved my precious silk!?

[wrong item]

Kali: No, no, no! This isn't it. How distressing!

[exit out]

Kabbu: Sorry, not yet.

Kali: You haven't? I do apologize for jumping to conclusions. Would you please go? I need to grieve.

[give stolen silk]

Kali: Ah! My baby! My handmade, extremely high-quality silk!

Leif: It did feel incredible carrying it back here.

Kabbu: Miss Kali, did you truly create such an exquisite texture?

Kali: That's right. Silks and the wondrous items of fashion and leisure it can be woven into are my absolute PASSION.

Vi: They've gotta be worth a fortune! No wonder it got stolen.

Kali: A fortune? Hah! You cannot put a price on a masterpiece.

Kali: ...Though I'll have you know my prices are very economical, darlings.

Vi: This place is so cool though. I've never seen this big wheel before!

Kali: W-Wait! Do be VERY careful near that vase, my dear. It's a gift from a client very close to me.

Kabbu: Incredible. Your work touches the hearts of the wearer that strongly!

Leif: Shame we're not too much into fashion…

Kali: I'm itching to get back to work, so…

Kali: Please, let me reward you for all you've done for this shop.

Kali: And you all seem absolutely exhausted, you poor things. Breathe this in, my darlings, it should soothe and fix your wounds with ease.

Kabbu: Oh! Thank you so much!

Vi: Huh?! This smoke... I-I...

Vi: COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! HACK!

Leif: Vi, watch out!

Vi: ATCHOOOO!!

Vi: ...S-Sorry. This smoke makes me really dizz-

Kali: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Kali: That vase was a one of a kind design from…

(minibubble) Leif: Ah crud.

Kali: It's shattered, ruined, obliterated! Oh this is the worst day of my LIFE!

Vi: I...I'm sorry!

Kali: Sorry is NOT enough! It's time to show you the consequences of touching things that do not belong to YOU!

Vi: COUGH! COUGH! STOP IT! I SAID I'M SORRY!

Leif: What's this smoke...?

Kabbu: ...N-Nghh...Vi, Leif!

Kali: Come hither, my dear Beetle…

Kabbu: Hnnnng...what...is...going...on...? My...body...

Kali: A surprise you could resist my charms, oh blue one.

Kali: I digress, come, my Knight, let's give these two a proper thrashing!

Leif: Kabbu, what do you think you're doing?

Vi: You're gonna BETRAY US!? OVER THIS!?

Kabbu: I...can't control...my body...

Kali: A puppet on silken strings, now... Let's begin, shall we?

[first time defeating Kabbu before defeating Kali]

Kali: Oh no no, my valiant knight, do rise once more! Healing dust!

[battle]

Kali: A-Ah! I...I yield!

[post-battle]

Leif: This was unnecessary. We could've replaced the vase.

Kabbu: Extremely unnecessary! Please don't control my body!

Vi: I...I'm sorry. That smoke made me dizzy, I couldn't help it…

Kali: …

Kali: ...*Sigh* Alright. I apologize as well, my dears.

Kali: It was quite uncouth of me to lose my temper.

Kali: Let's put this behind us, hm? Water in the oasis as it were. I'll see if Butomu can fix the vase…

Leif: Fine with us. We're too lazy to press charges.

Vi: I'll stay super far from the fixed one, promise!

Kabbu: Despite the downward turn...we hope you make great things with that silk, Kali!

Kali: Oh. I assure you, I can and will, my dear knight.

Kali: ...Please remove yourselves from my shop, if you would be so kind.

[talk again after fight]

Kali: ...Out.

[come back]

Kali: Oh, that Butomu's a miracle worker! Please do keep your distance from this one.

(minibubble) Vi: Sorry...

Questgiver

Some bandits stole some rare silk from my store, I need someone to retrieve it for me.

Talk to me in my shop in Defiant Root for more information.

Npc Spy

Kabbu: Ms. Kali's made quite a name for herself in town! Her wares are very popular.

Vi: Eh, they're way too expensive.

Leif: And we're already beautiful.

Kabbu: Al...right?

Enemy Spy

A talented seamstress who owns a shop in Defiant Root, Kali came from a foreign land to Bugaria to sell her homemade wares.

They are very popular amongst tourists that pass through the settlement.

She is also well known for her exotic dancing, something she learned in her homeland.

This dance is able to boost people's morales no matter what, making her a dazzling partner who supports her allies with various boosts.

She tends to panic and surrender when she's targeted, though. She can't risk damaging her hands!

Vi: I'm sorry about the vase, but you're going too far! Give Kabbu back!

Vi: Maybe if I knock her around a bit, she'll stop dancing and start listening!

Kabbu: I'd rather not say much about her…

Leif: Vi's put us in a real jam. Kali's more formidable than we ever expected.

Leif: Doesn't help she's boosting poor Kabbu. We should put an end to that.
