Unnamed Wasps
Golden Path, River
[Story, ch2]
Neo: SOMEBODY, HELP!!!
Neo: I-I told you, you savages... I don't know anything...
Wasp 1: Hmph! The renowned Professor Neolith doesn't know anything!?
Wasp 2: Spill the beans about the artifacts or pay with your life!
(Minibubble) Neo: Oh gods...
Kabbu: Stop! I will not allow this injustice any longer!
(Minibubble) Neo: K-Kabbu...
Leif: Assaulting someone who can't even fight... You have no dignity.
Wasp 2: Stay out of this. We will eliminate any who get in the way!
Vi: Who do you think you are!?
Kabbu: You've made your choice. To protect my friend...I'll take you down!
(minibubble) Leif: Friend?
Wasp 1: You only have yourselves to blame for the pain you're about to suffer!
Levi: Halt!
Levi: Those crooks are soldiers from the Wasp Kingdom!
Celia: We'll help out!
Wasp 2: It doesn't matter how many of you appear! We will complete our mission, for the Wasp King!
Levi: Focus your efforts on one of them, we will handle the other one!
Vi: We didn't need your help! ...But thanks! Let's go!
[post-battle]
Wasp 2: Blast it all... We underestimated them...!
Wasp 1: We must report this at once! Count your blessings, explorers! You won't be so lucky next time!
Kabbu: Thank you. It would have been a steep fight without your help.
Levi: Think nothing of it. Explorers must support each other.
Neo: What a scare... Thank you all so much!
Neo: I really thought I'd croak before finishing my research…
Kabbu: Neo! I am so glad you're alright!
Neo: Kabbu, it was thanks to your timely appearance! This has to be fate!
Vi: So uh, who's this Professor Neolith guy?
Celia: You don't know?! Professor Neolith is the leading authority in archaelogy!
Vi: Oh! Nice to meet you!
(minibubble) Vi: (...Archaelogy?)
Neo: Aw, shucks! I'm not that famous!
Kabbu: Neo and I met in the Lost Sands while I...travelled to the Ant Kingdom. He helped me find my way.
Neo: It was nothing, compared to saving me from that ambush!
Neo: Coincidentally, I was examining this tunnel, linking the outskirts to the Golden Path.
Neo: I never expected to get assaulted! Although a less visited path does lend itself to it.
Celia: From what I overheard, they seem to be looking for artifacts as well?
Levi: I'll have to make sure to report that upon our return…
Neo: The wasps have behaved for a few moons, but they can't be planning anything good.
Neo: If it's going to be this unsafe, maybe I should cancel this trip and head back…
Celia: Professor, we're on a journey to the Golden Hills. We would be glad to escort you.
(minibubble) Kabbu: There goes my chance...
(minibubble) Vi: Phew...
Neo: Oh! Thank you!
Leif: We're on our way there as well, so we'll catch up to you eventually.
Neo: Heheh. It'll be a fun festival with everyone there!
Vi: Let's play some of the games later, Neolith!
Kabbu: Neo, stay safe. Let's hang out later!
Lost Sands, Caravan
[Story, ch3, walking up to group]
Cricketly: Oh, if it isn't those peppy explorers!
Vi: Hiya!
Eri: Hey, Team Snakemouth. How's it going?
Leif: Well, it's a bit hot…
Kabbu: You're traveling to Defiant Root as well?
Gen: Yup. We're on a mission to protect these merchants!
Cricketly: Specifically, our dear Snail. We could fight or run, but this one's pretty wimpy.
Eri: It's been a super good day, though. Easiest mission we've ever had!
Burglar: EHEHEHE! YOU JINXED IT!
Gen: Dangit, Eri!
Vi: Bandits!
Cricketly: You've got some NERVE trying to mug us!
Huscada: D-Dear, it's okay. We can make the money back. Don't get hurt fo-
Cricketly: As if! I'd rather go down fighting than yield to these scoundrels!
Wasp: You speak brave words, for a powerless merchant.
Wasp: This is your last chance to surrender to the Wasp Kingdom!
Gen: L-Like we'd let you take anything!
Eri: Yeah, it's time to s-show what we can do!
Burglar: Bleheheh. Merchants are so greedy. Can't share just a few things. Now we're gonna have to take it all!
(minibubble) Huscada: Oh no, oh no!
Wasp: Hmm? Those three! They're the ones from the report!
Burglar: That'll pay a pretty penny! Let's capture 'em!
Kabbu: You will keep your vile limbs away from my friends!
Vi: Let's kick their butt!
(minibubble) Eri: L-let's go!
[Post-battle]
Wasp: Blast! We've got to go back and report this!
Burglar: I'm, uh, still getting paid, right...?
Wasp: Shut it! Let's go!
Wasp: You... We won't forget this!
Huscada: Uff... That was terrifying. Thank you…
Gen: Yeah. Thanks, Team Snakemouth!
Cricketly: Hmph. We were going to be fine. They were weaklings.
Vi: You're welcome.
Vi: ...Those wasps are showing up more, huh?
Leif: It's worrying indeed. We should report this as soon as we're able.
Huscada: We're just humble merchants. We can't help too much…
Huscada: But we are so very grateful for your help. This isn't much, but take it.
Vi: Woah! I didn't even need to ask this time!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Oh, Vi...
Cricketly: Of course. You won't find merchants in debt. With this, we're even.
Eri: We can keep the merchants safe from here. We're almost at the town!
Gen: Yeah. Don't let us slow you down!
Kabbu: You would never! But thank you. We'll keep going now.
Huscada: Safe travels!
Bandit Hideout, Storage
Thief: Oi, oi. What ya mean ya haven't got no berries yet?
Wasp scout: You will be paid when the job is completed.
Thief: We snuck you in, and helped you secure materials.
Bandit: You think we're dumb? The job's way past done!
Wasp trooper: Watch your tone, thieves.
Thief: You want to fight here? It ain't gonna end well for you!
Wasp scout: Tch. We'd best go report this.
Bandit: Wait! We ain't finished here!
Ant Kingdom, Main Plaza
[first wasp invasion]
Mothiva: This is MY stage! How dare you even get near it!?
Wasp Trooper: You dare oppose us!?
Zasp: Don't underestimate him, Mothiva!
(minibubble) Mothiva: I know!
Wasp Kingdom, Prison
Futes: Hehehehe...I got thrown here on purpose. So many Wasps~!
(minibubble) Wasp: (Help…)
Wasp: Everyone's gone nuts. Even my best friend wouldn't listen to me…
Leif: So they threw you in here?
Wasp: Mhm. It's so frustrating...
Npc Spy
Vi: Why's a Wasp in prison?
Kabbu: The best way to know is to ask the fellow, I believe.
Far Grasslands, Lake
[postgame]
Wasp Trooper: Team Snakemouth…
Wasp: ...Enjoy your time in the Wasp Kingdom.
Wasp Kingdom, Outside
[postgame]
Wasp Trooper: Hey. Queen Vanessa's authorized others to pass, so...
Wasp Driller: I know there's no need to patrol, but I can't help it...
Wasp Driller: Team Snakemouth! I thank you on behalf of all of my comrades!
Kabbu: I-It was nothing, good soldier!
Wasp: Nonsense! We are free once more! We will never forget it!
Npc Spy
Vi: A Was- Oh, right.
Leif: Old habits don't just leave, huh.
Kabbu: I hope the Kingdoms can leave this past struggle behind and form a bond!
Wasp Kingdom, Main Hall
[postgame]
Wasp Driller: The usurper caused unmeasurable damage to our community. We must stay united if we're to recover.
Wasp Driller: Those prisons held so many innocent...I hope we can make amends.
Wasp Trooper: We can only let you access these halls for now...but make yourselves comfortable.
Wasp Driller: The usurper left our structures very uncared for. It will take time to make them presentable.
Wasp Trooper: Queen Vanessa would be most pleased to see you!
Wasp Trooper: We owe you so much...but do behave in front of the queen!
Npc Spy
Vi: So what's Wasp culture like?
Leif: Y'know, we're not sure…
Kabbu: Because they've been closed off for so long, I figured they were very violent…
Vi: Doesn't seem like it, right?
Leif: Hopefully we can learn more about them, now that there's peace.
Wasp Kingdom, Throne Room
[postgame]
Wasp Trooper: Team Snakemouth! The queen's friends are our friends!
Npc Spy
Vi: I can't get used to them being all nice now…
Leif: Eh, give it time. Took us some to get used to you too.
