Mayor

Golden Settlement, Farms

[Festival]

[First talk]

Kabbu: Mayor! It is good to see you!

Mayor: Hohoh! Hey, Kabbu. You seem to be well back on your feet!

Leif: Mayor? Of where?

Kabbu: This is the Defiant Root's mayor. He graciously hosted me when I got lost in the desert.

Vi: You're just full of wild stories you haven't told us, huh.

Mayor: I wouldn't say wild...Kabbu is such a good bug! Come visit at the Lost Sands when you can.

Mayor: Right now I'm hosting this year's Whack-a-Worm! It's an honor, really.

Mayor: Come talk to me to give it a shot, eh? You can even win an offering!

Kabbu: That we will!

[talk again]

Mayor: Hohoh! Come to try some Wacka-a-Worm? It's 15 worms for the prize!

Textbox: I'm ready!

How to play?

No thanks!

[too low a score]

Mayor: Oh, only |var,1|? That's too bad! Maybe next time?

[if you get enough]

Mayor: Oho! |var,1|! You sure showed those worms who's boss!

Vi: They didn't know who they were messing with!

Mayor: Hohoho, that's right! Here you go, lass. You've earned this!

Leif: Not bad, Vi. Not bad.

Vi: Mhm. I never knew a mission could be so fun!

[talk after winning offering]

Mayor: Are you up to another round? You won't get an offering, but you sure will get berries!

Textbox: Yeah!

No thanks!

[hit some worms]

Mayor: Hey hey! You got |var,1| worms, so you get |currency,var,0|!

Mayor: Feel free to try again!

[absolutely zero worms]

Mayor: No worms? Sorry, can't give ya anything!

Defiant Root, Entrance

Mayor: Kabbu! You came to visit! Care to stay and chat?

Kabbu: Mayor...thank you. I'm currently on a mission, however. I'll come back again.

Mayor: Anytime, Kabbu. Bring your friends, too!

[Story, ch 4]

Mayor: Ah, Kabbu! Good to see you. Delilah's filled me in.

Kabbu: No, it's my pleasure! Thank you for everything!

Mayor: Hohoho! Don't think of it!

Leif: You've got info on the Sand Castle, correct?

Mayor: That I do. That castle's an ancient Roach structure, rumored to be at the northeastern corner of the Lost Sands.

Mayor: Mind you, that rumor's older than I am! But there IS a weird tablet in that part of the desert.

Vi: It's the only clue we have, so... Any ideas on how to get in?

Mayor: Well, scholars say that you need the Heaven and Earth keys to enter the castle.

Mayor: I've got a lead on only one of them. It's said to be...with the bandits.

Kabbu: Ngh. They've been causing us enough trouble as is.

Mayor: Ask around town, someone could have a clue on their hideout's whereabouts.

Mayor: Maybe some have heard of the other key, even!

Leif: If Elizant wasn't lying, time is of the essence. It's time to search.

Mayor: Stay safe, you three. The sands are unforgiving to those unprepared!

Kabbu: I have my team, worry not. We'll protect each other!

Mayor: I have no doubt. Even so! You've got to accept this little gift from the good old mayor!

(minibubble) Vi: Woah!

(minibubble) Leif: Thanks.

Kabbu: M-Mayor! This is too much!

Mayor: Take it, Kabbu. You can't say no!

Kabbu: ...Thank you, Mayor. We will return safely!

[talk again]

Mayor: I'll be praying for your safe return. Hopefully someone in town knows more!

[post-bandit hideout]

Mayor: Be careful when in the desert! The sands…

Vi: Are unforgiving to the unprepared, we know.

Kabbu: We will be fine, Mayor. Don't worry about us.

[post-sand castle]

Mayor: So the Sand Castle was real…

Mayor: Hopefully folks won't try to plunder it for treasures and get hurt. We should build a fence around it...

[Quest: Want to Relive Memories...]

Mayor: Kabbu! Vi! Leif! It's good to see you!

Kabbu: It is always nice to be back.

Vi: You had a quest posted up and stuff, right?

Mayor: Mhm. But you shouldn't have bothered, Kabbu! I'm sure you've got more important things to do.

Leif: Well…

Kabbu: Not at all!

Mayor: ...Thanks.

Vi: Let's get on with the details! Like the reward…

Mayor: Hoho, don't worry. The mayor pays well!

Mayor: Y'see, hosting was good and all! I didn't expect to like Whack-A-Worm so much!

Leif: And you're seeking some thrills again.

Mayor: Yup! I really want to see someone score a 20!

Vi: Alright! I'll whoop em up!

Kabbu: There's a nice spot near the settlement, shall we check it out?

Mayor: Oh, oh yes! Thank you so much, Kabbu!

Mayor: I'm so excited!

(minibubble) Vi: Don't push!

Golden Settlement, Minigame

[walk in]

Mayor: This place is beautiful! I didn't know of it!

Leif: It was, uh, obstructed.

Vi: Sit back and watch, mayor. Imma get that 20!

Mayor: I'm so excited! Knock it out of the park!

[get too low a score]

Mayor: Ah, so close to the 20...You just have to try again!

[get 20+]

Mayor: You really did it! I thought...I thought it was impossible!

Vi: Heheh. It was nothing, for real.

Mayor: Thank you, you've brought a real good time to this tired old bug!

Kabbu: I hope this repays my debt to you, even slightly…

Leif: Vi's the one who did everything, so…

Mayor: You never owed me anything, calm down!

Mayor: Now, let me give you a proper reward!

Vi: ...A key?

Mayor: Hoho! You'll have to check near my house to see the treasure it guards!

Vi: Really? Awesome! Thanks for the business!

Vi: If I get 30, do you pay double!?

Leif: We'll, uh, get going now.

Mayor: Hahahaha! That's alright. I've got to go get some work done too!

Mayor: See you in Defiant Root!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

Defiant Root, Entrance

[after completing quest, before opening vault]

Mayor: I hope you'll like my vault! Heheheh.

[after quest and after opening vault]

Mayor: Everything alright? I hope you're having a good day!

Ant Palace, Bridge

[Ending]

Mayor: Kabbu, everyone...I've always known you would do great things!

Questgiver

Hosting the festival was great fun!

But, y'know...I couldn't get enough of Whack-A-Worm!

Could anyone bring me to a spot where I could see others play again?

Kabbu: So the mayor is hosting this year…

Vi: Every year there's a new host, right?

Leif: Why not just keep the same host every year?

Kabbu: Well, they've given a lot of reasons but I think it's just so they can enjoy the festival the following year!

Leif: That's surprisingly reasonable.

Vi: I hope they're getting paid, at least!

[Defiant Root, Entrance]

Vi: Getting to the mayor's house is super weird, isn't it?

Leif: Eh...we think it's a cute method.

Kabbu: Regardless of the route, this is a great place to live in.

Kabbu: He can easily oversee the whole town from here!

Vi: Look, all I'm saying is he could've paid for some stairs.

[Golden Settlement, Minigame]

Leif: Doesn't the mayor like this game too much?

Vi: Don't you enjoy eating way too much?

Leif: Why are you bringing that up...?
