Reed

Ant Kingdom, Commercial

[Checking entrance to Underground Tavern, first time]

Kabbu: Hmm? What is this place?

Vi: Heheh. Check THIS out!

(minibubble) Knock knock…

Reed: Entry Code.

Vi: 2 - 4 - 0 – 5!

Reed: Last month's code is no longer valid after... the incident. Please use the new code.

Vi: WHAT!?

Leif: That was great, Vi.

Vi: Shut it!

Vi: Hey! Let me in! It's me, Vi! Ask Shades about me or something!

Reed: There's no one here, unless you know the code. Scram.

Kabbu: This place seems...shady.

(minibubble) Knock...

Kabbu: Excuse me, what is this place?

Reed: ...! Vi, you brought others with you!?

Vi: Ha! So you do know me! Open up now! Or I'll tell everyone about this place! Seriously, I'll RUIN you!

Reed: Try it, Vi. You won't last a night after you do.

(minibubble) Vi: E-Eep!

Kabbu: Seriously, what is happening here?

Reed: If you know what's best for you, you better stay away. All of you.

Leif: Well, that was a fun detour. Thanks for the good time, Vi.

Vi: Hmph...I guess we'll have to find the new code somewhere.

Vi: Maybe someone we help out comes here too!

Kabbu: Err...sure. But let us not get too sidetracked.

Ant Kingdom, Underground Tavern

Reed: Hmph. Behave, Vi. My work's daunting enough without having to keep my eye on you.

Leif: Yeah, Vi. You better behave.

Vi: Shush. I'm not going to do anything.

Kabbu: Worry not, bouncer. We will make sure to stay in your good graces.

[Quest: In Search of Paint...]

[first talk]

Vi: Hey, Reed.

Reed: Vi... What do you want?

Kabbu: A-are you Artia's boyfriend?

Reed: Yes I am... What is that to you? Looking for trouble, chubby?

Leif: We are doing a request for her. She asked us to get the blackest paint.

Leif: But the guy that has it doesn't want anything to do with us.

Reed: I see. I know she wants the paint, but...

Reed: I really didn't want her to get involved with that guy.

Reed: I may be a tough guy, but she is my soft spot. Wouldn't want to get her into trouble.

Reed: But since you're going in her place... I suppose I could assist you.

Reed: I used to know the guy but we have had a...falling out. So I couldn't get the paint from him anyway.

Reed: He'd probably do something horrible to me if I went by myself. But he still owes me a favor from long ago…

Reed: So here, give this to him.

Reed: Don't you dare open that, it contains sensitive info. Info for his eyes only.

Reed: Just give that to him and don't ask questions. He will give you the paint.

Leif: You know, just saying that makes us even more curious.

Vi: Uh, Leif, don't. Alright? Wouldn't want to never be able to sleep again knowing something could happen to us.

Reed: Listen, just do this and everything will end without issues.

Reed: I can trust you with that, can't I, Vi?

Vi: Yeah, yeah. I know, Reed. Just leave it to me.

Reed: Good.

Kabbu: (This is sooo shady...)

[talk again before delivering]

Reed: Deliver the note and everything will be fine. Don't you dare open it though.

Vi: We know, we know.

[talk after completing quest]

Reed: Vi, don't think that this favor makes me forgive you for your past deeds.

Vi: You tell me every time, Reed.

Reed: ...Still. Thanks.

(minibubble) Vi: ...!

Npc Spy

Vi: Ugh, can we not deal with Reed? I'm allergic to bouncers.

Leif: We shudder just thinking what you did to get on his bad side…

Kabbu: ...Indeed. Given the nature of this place, it's actually quite impressive that you had to be thrown out.

Vi: I didn't do anything! I just forgot the code!

Leif: Sure thing, Vi. Sure thing.
