Artis

Artis: Would ya mind coming back a bit later? Look at all this darn paper work!

Kabbu: (Hm. I shouldn't disrupt his work.)

[first talk after getting permit]

Artis: Phew...finally done. Sometimes work just doesn't stop coming!

Vi: Uh, okay. Who are you again?

Artis: Excuse ya! I'm Artis, and I keep this place running.

Kabbu: Oh? Thank you for all your hard work.

Vi: Uh, yeah. Thanks.

Artis: So you two faced Maki, eh? Bet ya found it a tad too easy?

Vi: You know it!

Artis: Heh. I see you lot like challenge. One sec, I have this one thing......please take it.

Kabbu: What is this...? A medal?

Artis: Let's say it should make things more interesting for ya. The higher the risk, the higher the reward, as they say.

Artis: If you defeat any powerful enemies while wearing it...come see me, alright?

Kabbu: Suspicious…

Vi: But I won't say no to free stuff!

Kabbu: Indeed, thank you for entrusting us with it. Take care, Artis.

Artis: Safe exploring, folks. Remember to check in now and then.

[subsequent talks]

Artis: What're ya waiting for? Go explore! I gotta deal with the work coming in…

[Post-completing prologue]

Artis: Hey! You're back. Let's see how you have been doing with that medal of mine…

[Beat Spider on Hard Mode]

Artis: Hmmm...! Good job, folks! You defeated |string,0| with my medal! Was it too challenging for ya?

Artis: You deserve a reward. Here, take this!

[Didn’t]

Artis: Hmmm...you haven't really defeated any hard headed foes yet, have you?

Artis: Fret not, though. Nothing is lost in this world, only found in different ways.

Artis: That's how life works, eh?

Artis: Come back later when you've bonked some extra hard heads with that medal, will ya?

Kabbu: That's Artis the Mantis. He is the accountant of the association, and someone who loves challenges.

Kabbu: I've heard he gives prizes to members that have accomplished difficult tasks recently.

Vi: By the time we're done, he won't have any prizes left to give out!
