Hive
0. Elevator
[Story, ch3]
Vi: …
Leif: Look, Vi. Even if you don't like them, it can't be THAT bad.
Kabbu: Indeed, we'll protect you if they speak poorly of you.
Vi: Hahahaha... That's...not really going to happen, ya know?
Leif: Huh. So they don't tease you?
Vi: Just uh, a little bit.
Kabbu: Vi...could it be the Hive has done nothing to you?
Vi: …
Leif: Nonsense. Why would she be so unwilling otherwise?
Vi: He's right.
Kabbu: I am?
Vi: The Hive didn't do anything. I did.
Leif: Vi. What did you do?
Vi: My sister kept teasing me, okay? Saying exploring's a job for other bugs.
Vi: That it was too dangerous, and that I couldn't do it!
Vi: So I got really mad and said a lot of mean stuff to her…and ran off.
Vi: Told my boss to shove it. Told the Queen she had no idea what I'm capable of!
Kabbu: Vi…
Leif: So in this story, you're the mean one?
Vi: Kinda. They had it coming, though.
Leif: That's great.
(minibubble) Kabbu: It is?
Leif: All you have to do is say you're sorry. And it'll get fixed.
Vi: No way!
Vi: Even if I was super mean, they still teased me all the time! I'm not gonna say sorry!
Kabbu: Not even to your close sister? It's your family!
Vi: She can say sorry first! I'm not gonna lose after making a big scene!
(minibubble) Leif: ...
Vi: Look. The mission's most important, okay? I don't wanna talk about this anymore.
Leif: We're almost at the top...you're not off the hook, Vi.
1. Outside
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: The Hive's gigantic!
Vi: Mhm. Most bugs just see the main area though. Most of it's just honey and housing.
Leif: So most of this Hive is honey? We'll have to investigate…
Vi: That honey's for bees!
Bee Guard: Going down to Defiant Root?
Textbox: Yes
No
[No]
Guard: Enjoy your visit to the Hive!
2. Scanner Room
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: What a peculiar room.
Vi: This is the scan corridor. So they know we're clean or whatever.
Leif: That's weird.
Vi: Yup…
[Story]
Bee Guard: Greetings, visitors. Please hold still as we scan for impurities.
Kabbu: Um, what?
Guard: Huh.
(minibubble) Kabbu: What a scare...
Vi: "Huh"? You saying we're not clean or something?
Guard: It's not that… Hmm, well... Yes. Okay.
Guard: Alright. You've been cleared to pass.
(minibubble) Leif: ...
3. Main Area
[Story, ch3, first entrance]
Kabbu: Goodness, what a grand welcome!
Leif: Vi, is this normal?
Vi: Uh, not really...
H.B.: Hold it, folks!
H.B.: The scanner picked up something weird from one of you…
Vi: W-What?
Leif: Was it us?
H.B.: Most definitely.
Kabbu: Is Leif okay!?
H.B.: Dearie me. We've caused a scene. Could you come with me? I'll check it out ASAP.
Vi: You sure you wanna trust her, Leif?
Leif: Yeah. We don't have any leads right now. Nothing to lose.
Kabbu: Guide the way, doctor!
[Overworld Spy]
Vi: Still feels weird to be home…
Kabbu: Despite everything, surely you're a little happy?
Vi: Well...I did miss the honey fountain.
Leif: We'll miss it too…
Guard: The Queen is the epitome of grace and beauty! Please mind yourselves around her.
Guard: The Queen is the light that shines upon us all! Do mind yourselves around her.
[in front of Jaune’s, before factory]
Sign: Out For Lunch.
Artia: Jaune's art is...beautiful. But is art meant only to be pretty? We should explore our inner hideousness…
Leif: Good luck getting someone to buy THAT portrait…
Kabbu: At least wait till she draws it before judging!
[Spy Artia]
Kabbu: My, these paintings are quite... unique.
Vi: Artia really needs to add some color sometimes.
Leif: We agree, but maybe she won't be happy if she does.
Kabbu: Someone who's happy in a gray world... is that truly possible?
Vi: You're really overthinking this...
Guard: This path leads to the Honey Factory. Please watch your step.
Bib: Oho! So dashing... Explorers are so interesting!
[Spy Bib]
Kabbu: What a fluffy bee!
Vi: Bumblebees are pretty cute. Not cuter than me, though!
Leif: We don't dare to disagree...
Guard: Prof. Honeycomb and Dr. H.B. are the last bees from the old generation.
Guard: They sure managed to outlive even some of the new generation. Is this the power of science?
[Spy Zasp or Mothiva]
Vi: It's them!
Kabbu: Let's get the meeting underway. Maybe they've even repented!
(minibubble) Leif: Doubt it.
[Story, ch3]
Mothiva: Ohohoho! Now now, there's enough Mothiva for all!
Crowd: Mothiva! Mothiva!
Vi: Ugh! How can she be so popular while being such a jerk!
Leif: Ignorance is bliss for this crowd…
Kabbu: Um, Mothiva?
Mothiva: More fans? Ohoho-
Mothiva: What are YOU dorks doing here!?
Crowd: Huh?
Crowd: Mothiva?
Crowd: Hm?
Mothiva: A-Ahahaha! Sorry, show's over! I hope you'll join me in my next tour!
Crowd: Aww...
Mothiva: Thanks for ruining a perfectly good tour, jerks.
Vi: We didn't do anything! And you're the jerk!
Mothiva: Your mere presence ruins my vibe, can't you tell!?
Leif: Maybe you can steal some of ours when we're not looking.
Mothiva: Why you…
Kabbu: Enough! We're not here to fight you. We have a mission, can't we cooperate?
Kabbu: We need not hog the glory. If we work together, we will all be recognized!
Mothiva: Sigh. So naive. What good is fame when shared with the likes of you?
Kabbu: U-Urk…
Vi: Look, just go to the darn meeting point. We can settle this later.
Mothiva: Hmph. I'll go, but not by your barking. See if you don't keep me waiting too long.
[If haven’t talked to Zasp yet]
Mothiva: And get Zasp to go too, okay? I can't be bothered after seeing you three.
Vi: What a jerk! I really really don't get how no one sees it!
Kabbu: It's a shame her defeat didn't humble her one bit…
Leif: We'll have to be careful, we never know what they'll be planning...
[Story, ch3]
Zasp: Just my luck. Team Snakemouth.
Vi: You've got some nerve walking into the Hive!
Zasp: Hmph. Pipe down. I'm here on explorer business, just like you.
Leif: Come to steal some more credit, we assume?
Zasp: If you expect an apology, you won't get it.
Kabbu: Ngh. So you're proud of your actions?
Zasp: I don't operate on pride. I'm commited to Mothiva's rise to the top.
Zasp: We saw an opportunity and took it. It didn't work out, but it's not the end of the world.
Zasp: As you can see, even without the artifact, she is still respected.
Vi: Who's gonna respect someone so petty! Bet they wouldn't if they knew the truth!
Kabbu: Vi! We're not going to start badmouthing others!
Zasp: It wouldn't matter. See if they'd believe some bumbling fools over the great Mothiva.
Leif: Hmph. Look, we don't care. Can you just move it to the meeting point?
Zasp: That, I can do. Business is business, after all. My interests are not petty banter with you three.
Vi: Yeah, yeah. Just go.
[If already talked to Mothiva]
Zasp: Mothiva must be waiting, anyways. See you there.
[if haven’t talked to Mothiva yet]
Kabbu: We'll notify Mothiva as well. You won't wait for long.
Kabbu: See you there.
[After talking to Zasp and Mothiva]
[If already talked to Gen and Eri]
Vi: Okay, that should be everyone. Let's go to the meeting!
[If not talked to Gen and Eri]
Kabbu: We still need to find the other explorers. Let's look around.
Beil: Welcome, welcome! Mothiva's famous accessories are on sale! They'll bring the best out of you!
(minibubble) Leif: Doubtful.
[Spy Beil]
Vi: That scarf is so pretty!
Leif: Mothiva's a crook, but her clothing brand is pretty high quality.
Vi: Wait, what? Isn't it only those red balls?
Kabbu: It seems any item she helped create has a small icon... Look at the scarf's corner!
Vi: Ugh, that sucks... No way I'm going to buy it.
Leif: You could just cover her logo up.
Vi: Nuh uh! She ain't getting one berry from me!
Sasha: My...I've always been a bit plain. But clothing works wonders, doesn't it? Hohoh!
[Spy Sasha]
Kabbu: Hmm…
Vi: What's up?
Kabbu: It's nothing. I'm just thinking about clothing…
Leif: Gonna buy some?
Kabbu: No, no. I'm happy with how I look.
Kabbu: I'm not sure how to feel about others wishing to change their image…
Vi: Bugs can do whatever they want. If they wanna wear a big hat they can do it!
Leif: Can't say we oppose that view.
Kabbu: You're right. It's not my place to judge others, even if I'm not going to wear clothing myself.
Vi: Geez, it's not like you cut the scarf off of her. Stop apologizing!
Vilma: Heeeey! How're you liking our wonderful Hive? Have some honey, it's on me!
Leif: Thank you. We won't forget this.
(minibubble) Kabbu: S-So kind...!
Vi: Y-Yeah, thanks...
[Spy Vilma]
Kabbu: What a nice bee. It warms my heart!
Leif: So tall. Cheerful, too.
Vi: Even I can't get mad at Vilma…
Kabbu: I feel bad, though. All that honey for free…
Leif: Not us. We intend to keep eating.
Vi: How are you two not fatter!?
Guard: If you head down this path, you will reach the Residential Zone and the Balcony.
Huni: This ball is really cute, right? I look just like Mothiva!
[Spy Huni]
Kabbu: Ah. Children are so pure!
Leif: Vi is right here.
Vi: Not in the mood.
Leif: It's not funny if she won't react…
Kabbu: Leif, you should take it easy on her while we're here.
Leif: Fine...
Yap: Hmm...It's been so boring lately. I wish there was some gossip, at least.
[Spy Yap]
Kabbu: (Psst! Leif!)
Leif: (What? Why are you whispering?)
Kabbu: (Don't tell Vi, but... Doesn't that little bee look like her?)
Leif: (Ohhh... yeah. She does, doesn't she? She looks so annoyed, too.)
Vi: You suck at whispering!!!
H.B. projection: Hello there! Welcome to Dr. H.B.'s lab! Your number one stop for any weird gadgets!
[Spy anyone waiting at the throne room]
Kabbu: Let's gather everyone so we can get the meeting started!
Eri: Maybe I can sneak out and eat some more fountain honey before the meeting…
Gen: Seriously, Eri. Just stay still!
Mothiva: Why would you look for me now? Don't you know my time is berries?
Vi: Shut up, or we'll take even longer!
Zasp: Despite everything...I must say, runt. The Hive is quite nice to be in.
Vi: It's nowhere someone like you should be in!
[Story, walking to the throne room door with everyone gathered]
Kabbu: It seems only Kina is left…
Eri: Oh, nah! She gave us the parts. So we're good to go.
Gen: She's shameless, that's what she is!
Guard: Then, if these are all the explorers, we shall open the throne room.
Guard: Be on your best behavior, for even glancing upon our Queen is a privilege.
Mothiva: Oh, of course miss guard! We adore the Queen, and would never dream to upset her Ohohoho!
(minibubble) Vi: !?
Leif: Are you the same Mothiva...?
Guard: Be silent, and go in.
[Quest: I Want a Souvenir...]
Beil: Welcome, welcome! You're eyeing that souvenir cap, aren't ya? It's the perfect gift for Bee Kingdom lovers!
Beil: And this one's on sale, too - only 40 berries! Will you be its lucky buyer?
Textbox: Gimme! Gimme!
No way!
[No way!]
Beil: Just remember - the sale won't last forever!
[Insufficient funds]
Beil: Whoops! Sorry dears... You'll have to remember this trip with something cheaper.
[Gimme! Gimme!]
Beil: This is one purchase you won't regret!
Beil: Thank you, thank you! Please visit Fashion Bee again!
[end quest dialogue]
[After buying bee cap]
Beil: Welcome back! We have a new accessory! This precious Ribbon which you can wear or give to your pets is on sale!
Beil: Now only 50 berries!
Textbox: Gimme! Gimme!
No way!
[No way!]
Beil: Just remember - the sale won't last forever!
[Insufficient funds]
Beil: Whoops! Sorry dears... You'll have to remember this trip with something cheaper.
[Gimme! Gimme!]
Beil: Thank you! Here you go!
Beil: Thank you, thank you! Please visit Fashion Bee again!
[Quest: In Search of Paint...]
[first talk]
Artia: ...You'll take my request, Vi?
Vi: Yup. Don't make a big deal out of it, ok?
Artia: ...Alright. I'm looking for the blackest, darkest of all paints.
Artia: I need it to complete my masterpiece. To challenge Jaune's reign as the best artist of the Hive.
Artia: You sure you can handle that?
Vi: ...A job's a job. Where can I find it?
Artia: Your soul is a dark grey... But anyways... I've heard it's with someone in the Termite City.
Artia: He hates being around in the open, a lover of the darkness. So cool…
Leif: Sounds like you two would get along pretty well.
Artia: Don't speak nonsense...I simply admire him. I would meet him myself, were it not so far.
Artia: Get it done, Vi. The pay's good.
Vi: Better be. It really IS far away...
[talk again]
Artia: Procure the blackest paint from the Termite City.
Artia: If you don't know where to start, search the darkest parts of the city…
[after talking to Tennent]
Artia: ...Found it yet, Vi?
Vi: Yeah. He won't budge, though. Sorry…
Artia: ...Drat. I feared this would happen. Listen up…
Artia: My boyfriend lives in the Ant Kingdom. Knows his way around...certain groups. He'll know what to do.
Kabbu: Boyfriend's a pretty vague description…
Artia: We have...similar tastes. You will know when you see him. Now go, your pay's waiting…
Vi: I'm charging extra for the double trip.
[talk again]
Artia: My boyfriend lives in the Ant Kingdom. Knows his way around...certain groups. He'll know what to do.
[talk after getting paint]
Artia: ...Found it yet, Vi?
[incorrect item]
Artia: ...Don't waste my time.
[exit out]
Artia: Don't take too long. I must reveal my next piece before Jaune...
[give paint]
Artia: Aaaaah...so that's the blackest, darkest paint...!
Artia: Yes...I can feel it. It's like I'm staring at a deep abyss!
Vi: Hope it's worth the pay!
Artia: Jewelry is for denizens of the light. I have no need of it, after having seen such darkness…
Artia: Seems like a fair trade, the brightest object for the darkest one…
Artia: Hehehe… soon, Jaune's art reign will be over and Artia's will begin…
Vi: Yeah, I doubt that!
Kabbu: I'm just glad we didn't end up in trouble for this...
[talk after giving paint]
Artia: Soon Jaune's reign will end and my era of darkness will begin... and it's all thanks to you...hehehe...
Kabbu: ...Are you sure this was alright, Vi?
Vi: Jaune's not that easy to beat. She'll even like the competition.
Leif: Huh...Guess you were helping out Jaune too, then.
[end of quest-related dialogue]
[Quest: Vi’s Request, teleported out of Jaune’s after initial convo]
Vi: GRRR! What the heck! That's no way to treat family!
Leif: Just what did you do to her?
Vi: I told her she drew like a weevil.
Kabbu: Vi! What in blazes! You can't just go around saying that sort of thing!
Leif: We're assuming this is a new type of insult…
Vi: Well, she called me stuff too! Weak, short, coward…
Vi: I couldn't talk about exploring without her talking down to me!
Kabbu: Exploring is extremely dangerous. Many lose someone dear to a bad trip…
Kabbu: Couldn't she simply have been worried?
Vi: Whatever.
Leif: If you still want to fix things, we have an idea. We, uh, don't want you sad.
(minibubble) Kabbu: R-really!?
Vi: Y-Yeah?
Leif: She mentioned some red paint, right?
Vi: That's pretty hard to get. It's out of season or something.
Leif: Let's get it for her.
Kabbu: That is a fantastic idea!
Vi: Y-You're right! She'd be too happy to get mad!
Vi: Maybe then we can have an actual conversation. Hmph.
Kabbu: Where could we start searching? I know little of paint.
Vi: I dunno either, but uh... it's made in the Golden Settlement, right?
Vi: We could just take the tunnel and check it out when we're free.
Leif: Then let's keep that in mind. Jaune seems to need it quite badly.
Vi: Alright. Let's get a move on!
[after giving paint]
Kabbu: A-Are you okay?
Vi: Yup. Let's go back in whenever!
Leif: That's a relief... Let's meet your sister properly, then.
[end of quest-related dialogue]
[postgame]
Mothiva: Ohohoho! My clothing line's profits are off the charts!
Mothiva: That's what helping defeat the Wasp King does to your brand!
Leif: ...Good for you.
(minibubble) Vi: Uh huh...
[Spy Mothiva]
Vi: Bleh. It feels like everyone learned something...EXCEPT Mothiva! Even Zasp's cool now!
Leif: She's probably learned something. She's just too proud to admit it.
Kabbu: She DID help us cross the Giant's Lair…
Vi: She did it for the fame! Not to be nice!
Kabbu: Such shallow motives would not have been enough to face those beasts.
Leif: You could be right...
Zasp: It's not so bad...enjoying calm days like this alongside Mothiva.
Zasp: Thank you, Team Snakemouth. I owe this peace to you.
Kabbu: Zasp… You're welcome!
[Spy Zasp]
Leif: Zasp's a cool dude. He could do better.
Kabbu: Could he? He looks quite content.
Vi: I dunno...Mothiva could be nicer to him, or something…
Leif: Eh, it's their personal life...Let's leave them be.
4. HB’s Lab
[Story, ch3, from main room]
H.B.: So that's what the readings meant…
Kabbu: Doctor, is Leif okay?
H.B.: According to the tests, ancient crystal fragments lie within you. If I'm not wrong, you can use magic?
Leif: Yeah. After we woke up in Snakemouth, it just suddenly came to us.
Vi: So that wasn't a super bad lie?
Leif: ...You still doubted us?
Kabbu: Given the weirdness of it, I'd tally it to healthy skepticism.
H.B.: Magical powers are a common side effect of a body being linked to these crystals.
H.B.: Although there's still something our scanner couldn't identify. Something else may be inside your body.
Leif: Something else?
H.B.: ...If you'd let me put you under for a while, I could look into it.
Leif: Er, put us under?
H.B.: You know. Fast asleep.
H.B.: Then we explore your insides after cutti-
H.B.: W-What!?
(minibubble) Vi: Woah!
Kabbu: Leif, you had this sort of power?
Leif: N-No. It's weird. We just moved on our own…
Leif: ...Sorry. We don't know what happened. We're not too keen to be put under, however.
H.B.: An involuntary self-defense mechanism…
H.B.: Leif, was it? Give it some thought. Your condition is fascinating.
Vi: I'm starting to get worried…
Leif: Don't be. We feel fine.
Kabbu: We're getting closer to the truth, although there's much left to answer…
H.B.: Well, I think we'll leave it at that for today. Sorry for distressing you.
Leif: It's okay, really... Thanks.
Vi: Welp... We're going to be late to the meeting, aren't we?
H.B.: Ah, yes. The Ant Kingdom brought the materials for the key replacement, right?
H.B.: I've heard there's four other explorers looking around the Hive.
H.B.: Could you round them up in front of the throne room? I'll meet you there when I finish some things up.
H.B.: Crow!
Crow: C-called me, doctor?
H.B.: Round up the data! We have work to do.
Crow: Ah! Y-Yes, doctor!
Vi: Great... A walk around the Hive.
Leif: Can't be the worst thing. We'd like to get to know this place.
Textbox: Leif can now use Bubble Shield Lite in battle!
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: H.B.'s lab is impressive, but we'd rather not be here…
Kabbu: Her proposition was quite startling, but at least she didn't press the issue.
Vi: Maybe she can open you up Kabbu, to find out why you're so nice!
Kabbu: Not in a million moons!
Crow: There's so much data to sort through...It feels like I'll never finish!
[Spy Crow]
Kabbu: H.B.'s running poor Crow ragged!
Leif: Science looks like a lot of hard work.
Vi: It's like uh...the thinking version of exploring!
[Inspect medal]
Vi: Woah! That medal looks cool!
Leif: Let's snatch it.
Kabbu: No! Let's see if we can convince H.B. to give it to us somehow.
[pre-gathering all the explorers]
H.B.: I still need some time to process the data, could you find the other explorers?
H.B.: They should be around the Hive somewhere.
[pre-factory]
H.B.: I will meet up with you soon, just head to the factory.
[Spy H.B.]
Leif: So Professor Honeycomb's not the only prestigious researcher around.
Vi: Those two are always fighting...if they're so smart, they should act more grown up!
Kabbu: (C-Coming from you, Vi!?)
[before giving permit]
B.O.S.S.: Invalid User. Access Denied.
[Talk after ch 3]
H.B.: Ah, you're here!
H.B.: Thanks for the help in the factory.
Kabbu: It was nothing, doc.
H.B.: Anyway. I wanted to show you something…
H.B.: You see this big machine behind me?
H.B.: This special machine lets you refight old foes you've met on your journey!
Leif: Is that possible?
H.B.: Yes! As long as we can get a crystal which recorded your fights.
H.B.: You know ancient crystals have the ability to record their surroundings, right?
H.B.: The roaches used them all the time to store data.
H.B.: My machine can read said data to recreate certain moments of the past.
H.B.: All that is needed is to find a crystal that recorded what you have seen on your journeys.
Kabbu: Where would we find said crystal?
H.B.: Well, you're explorers, right?
H.B.: You probably already have something that has crystals in it.
H.B.: Fufu...I will be waiting for you to figure it out!
Vi: Can't you just tell us...?
[Talk again]
H.B.: So? Have you found something with crystals that recorded your fights up to now?
[Incorrect Item]
H.B.: That won't do. Don't you have anything with crystals in it?
[give Mysterious Piece or Peculiar Gem]
H.B.: Hm. That is indeed a crystal, but it hasn't recorded much battle data.
H.B.: Do you not have something every explorer earns at the start of their journey?
[Exit out]
H.B.: Bring me a crystal, and the machine will do the rest!
[Give Permit]
H.B.: Bingo! Authentic permits given to exploration teams house crystals in them!
H.B.: It must be overflowing with combat data!
Vi: I don't get how that works…
H.B.: You don't need to understand. Fufufu... Just check the computer behind me to start the B.O.S.S. program!
Leif: Technology has advanced at an incredible pace…
H.B.: Indeed. I've registered you all under the B.O.S.S. terminal already.
H.B.: If you have any questions about it, just come and ask me! I'm so eager to see it in action!
[after giving permit]
H.B.: Hey there folks! Any questions about the B.O.S.S. program?
Textbox: B.O.S.S. program?
How does it work?
Do we get anything from it?
We're good.
[B.O.S.S. program?]
H.B.: Yes, what B.O.S.S. stands for is…
H.B.: "Battery Operated Super Simulator"!
H.B.: With it, you can simulate old battles you have recorded in the crystals on your permit.
H.B.: I still don't know how the crystal works, but just being able to read this data is fascinating!
H.B.: In return for letting me test and study the crystals, you are free to use the B.O.S.S. any time you want.
H.B.: And should you do well in Rush Mode, I'll give you prizes! It's a great deal!
H.B.: Just check the computer over there to start it.
[How does it work?]
H.B.: B.O.S.S. will read the crystals on your explorer permit and load data from strong foes you have faced in the past.
H.B.: With that, you can refight old battles at any time you want!
H.B.: The HoloMachine is not perfect, though. It flickers a bit way too much for my liking... But it works well enough.
H.B.: You will keep items you had at the start of the run, so you won't lose any after the session.
H.B.: But used items stay used in Rush Mode until you either finish it or quit, so watch out for that!
[Do we get anything from it?]
H.B.: Yes! You will get some EXP from battles, but since those are simulations, the amount you get is very reduced.
H.B.: But if you do well in Rush Mode, I can give you some Medals and goodies I have stored. Tempting, right?
H.B.: Losing battles won't penalize you, so there is no risk involved as well.
H.B.: It's a safe way to see how much you've grown!
[We're good.]
H.B.: Very well. If you want to try it out, check the computer over there.
[post-giving permit]
B.O.S.S.: Reading Crystal Data...... Done. Logging in...
B.O.S.S.: Welcome, Vi, Kabbu and Leif! This is the B.O.S.S. terminal!
B.O.S.S.: How can I assist you today?

H.B.: Oho! Good work!
H.B.: Awesome work! Seems like you're just breezing though huh?
H.B.: Guess I'll make the EX Mode option available!
H.B.: Just start another session with the B.O.S.S. after this one is over to try it out!
[finish all available rush battles]
H.B.: Good job everyone! That was a fierce battle.
H.B.: Here is something for your trouble!
H.B.: If you want to try again, just start up the B.O.S.S. once more! Can't wait to see how you will perform next time!
[finish single battle]
H.B.: Good job everyone! That was a fierce battle.
H.B.: If you want to retry any of your battles, just come back and check the B.O.S.S.!
[lose]
H.B.: Well, you can't always win, can you?
H.B.: Maybe rearrange your Medals or train a bit more and try again later?
[Quest: Card Masters of Bugaria]
[if you talk to her before the factory]
Crow: ...! Y-you're card players?
Leif: Yes. You know any Card Masters?
Crow: Well, I'm a bit busy...I-I can help you find them later.
[first talk after factory]
Crow: ...! Y-you're card players?
Leif: Yes. You know any Card Masters?
Crow: Y-yes, I do. The Card Master is, um...
Crow: It's me!
(minibubble) H.B.: Not this again...
Kabbu: This dueling aura!
Crow: When it comes to cards...I won't hold back! I won't be defeated!
Leif: We expect nothing less of a card master!
(minibubble) H.B.: Please be quiet...
Crow: Prepare as you must. This will be a duel for the ages!
[talk again]
Crow: You ready for a real duel!?
Textbox: Bring it on!
Not yet.
[Not yet.]
Crow: W-well... Come back if you change your mind.
[Bring it on!]
Crow: Do your worst!
[Lose]
Crow: You're no match for me at all!
Vi: I liked her more when she was quiet.
Leif: That really was a great duel, we can't deny it.
Crow: Come back when you have better cards! T-That should help a little.
[Win]
Crow: Ugh... How could I be defeated...
Leif: You're the strongest opponent we've faced.
Crow: ...Sigh. The doctor's gonna make fun of me later…
(minibubble) H.B.: Yup.
Crow: But that was a great duel! U-Um, I'll upgrade your card now.
[Final Master]
Crow: And that's it. You've got a full card!
Crow: Show it to the old sailor at the pier. He'll take you to Metal Island for real cheap!
Vi: Really? That's awesome!
Leif: We can finally test our mettle against the tournament's best.
Crow: Good luck! You're strong, Leif. B-but you're gonna need it!
[Masters Remaining]
Crow: Huh? You're missing some Card Masters? Did you confuse Chuck for me?
Kabbu: Not exactly... Don't worry about it.
Crow: Well, um, if you're up for a rematch... Just talk to me, ok?
(minibubble) H.B.: Nooo!
[talk again after beating]
Crow: Hey Leif. Come for a rematch?
(minibubble) H.B.: Dangit, Crow!
Textbox: Bring it on!
Not yet.
[Not yet.]
Crow: W-well... Come back if you change your mind.
[Bring it on!]
Crow: Now we're talking! Time for you to lose!
[Win]
Crow: Darn, I lost again...H-Here, you won this!
[Lose]
Crow: You're no match for me at all!
Vi: I liked her more when she was quiet.
Leif: That really was a great duel, we can't deny it.
Crow: Come back when you have better cards! T-That should help a little.
[End of quest-related dialogue]
5. Balcony
[Overworld Spy, corridor area]
Leif: So all the Bees live here?
Vi: Yup. And it's super duper off limits!
Kabbu: First the ants, now the bees...I cannot help but feel excluded.
Vi: It's just how stuff is. Sorry!
Jud: Leif, it's good to see you again. Your performance was very pleasing.
Jud: It would be great to have you at next year's festival.
Leif: You can count on us.
[Spy Jud]
Leif: Ah...we want to join another eating competition.
Kabbu: The Golden Festival is the only one, though.
Leif: That's impossible. Eating is the best. How can it be once a moon?
Vi: Don't be such a glutton, Leif.
Kabbu: Indeed. You must watch your figure!
Leif: Don't act like you don't sneak in Honey Drops mid-mission! We've seen you!
(minibubble) Kabbu: S-Sorry...
Guard: Only bees allowed past this point.
Leif: Can you get us in then, Vi?
Vi: Noooope.
[Spy Guard]
Leif: Vi, can't you convince this guard to let us pass?
Vi: Noooope.
[Overworld Spy, balcony area]
Kabbu: Astounding. We can see everything from here!
Vi: Look, there's the pier!
Kabbu: Oh, there's the Golden Hills! Can't see Venus, however.
Leif: And there's Snakemouth. Wonder why we feel so drawn towards it...
[first talk]
Kenny: Hey again. The Bee Kingdom's quite fantastic.
Vi: Uh...you think?
Kenny: The air is clean, and the people are nice. There's a great view and good food.
Leif: Think you'll stay here?
Kenny: ...No, I don't think I will. I want to see what else the world can offer.
Kabbu: May we meet again, explorer!
Kenny: May we meet again, indeed.
[talk again]
Kenny: May we meet again, indeed.
Bub: You can see where we used to stay! Good old times.
Rob: Look, the Golden Settlement! Can't wait for next year's festival!
[Spy Rob or Bub]
Leif: These two seem to be together a lot, don't they?
Kabbu: Two friends traveling across Bugaria...not that unlikely, right?
Vi: They should become an exploration team already!
Leif: Shame. They don't seem like they can fight.
Elias: The Bee Kingdom was generous enough to let me conduct my research here.
Elias: The least I can do is lend others my " Eliascope"! Give it a go with |button,4|!
[Spy Elias]
Leif: We've been thinking for a while... what are those things some bugs wear on their eyes?
Vi: You mean glasses?
Leif: Never heard of them.
Kabbu: They're this fascinating gadget that helps bugs with poor eyesight see better!
Leif: Really? That small trinket improves eyesight?
Vi: Really cool huh? They started being sold a while ago.
Leif: It's good to see some things do get better with time.
[Spy Gen and Eri]
Kabbu: We've found them! Let's make sure they get to the meeting.
[Story, ch3]
Gen: Heeeey! Team Snakemouth!
Eri: Thanks again, we owe you for back in the desert…
Kabbu: It was no problem. You would do the same for us.
Leif: They would try, at least.
Gen: We'll make up for it, you'll see.
Eri: Mhm. Hey, Vi? You're being real quiet.
Vi: Oh? Uh...sorry. Just thinking.
Eri: The Hive is SUPER cool! We have to come back together when we're not on the job!
Gen: Everyone's really nice. And they let us drink from the fountain for free!
Vi: Y-Yeah... Glad you like it. You ready to meet up?
Eri: Shoot! We forgot!
Gen: We'll see ya there, Team Snakemouth!
Leif: Well, at least they're having fun.
Vi: Hmph.
Leif: Vi.
Vi: What? If it's about earlier, drop it. I don't want to talk about it.
Leif: Look at us, Vi. This is serious.
Leif: You're mad over petty things. You're acting like a child.
Vi: Seriously? THAT'S what you wanted to tell me!?
Leif: We're not finished.
Leif: Something may happen tomorrow, or even today. And then, you won't be able to say sorry.
(minibubble) Kabbu: Leif...
Leif: Instead of acting so proud, won't you be happier if you fix things?
Vi: …
Kabbu: Vi, Leif is right! We never know what can happen. Friends are so precious to lose over nothing…
Vi: ...But what if she doesn't forgive me? I was really mean…
Kabbu: If you really mean it, and show it, she'll forgive you. You're sisters!
Vi: ...…
Vi: F-Fine. I'll try.
Leif: Hmm. You're more mature than we expected.
Vi: Shut up!
Vi: We're on a mission now, but…
Vi: W-When we have time, I'll try and apologize. Okay? Are you happy now!?
Leif: You promise?
Vi: I'll do it! I don't need to promise it like some kid!
Kabbu: Heheheh. Alright, Vi. We believe you.
Leif: We hope it goes well. Life's too short to have dumb fights.
Vi: Sigh...I feel all tired now.
[havent got everyone]
Vi: Let's go find the other explorers, okay?
[got everyone]
Vi: Everyone should be at the throne room now so... Let's go, okay?
Kabbu: Yup. Let's go, team.
Leif: We'll be rooting for you, Vi.
Vi: ...Thanks.
[Spy Beette]
Vi: It's her.
Kabbu: Come on, Vi. Let's see what she has to say.
[First talk]
Beette: Oh dear, what to do…
Vi: Okay. I can do this. Huff...here I go!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Hang in there!
Vi: ...What's up? Can I help you?
Beette: Dunno. Can you?
Leif: Tell us your issue. We'll see.
Beette: I thought buying a house in the Ant City would be great, but I didn't enjoy it at all.
Beette: I just get too homesick for the amazing Bee Kingdom...I dunno what to do with it now.
Kabbu: Homesick, huh. I understand how you feel.
Vi: Uh, that sucks. C-Can we help?
Beette: Are you interested in the house? It's right in the main plaza…
Leif: You mean the red house near the inn? We could use a place…
Beette: Yeah. How about 150 berries? It's cheaper than I got it for…
(minibubble) Vi: 150?!
Leif: Goodness. The housing market's gotten rough.
Beette: Won't blame ya if you don't want it. It's nothing compared to here.
Vi: We...will...think...about it.
Kabbu: (We're proud of you, Vi!)
(minibubble) Leif: (Aye.)
Vi: (Let's just go…)
[Talk again]
Beette: So...? 150 berries for the house. You in?
Textbox: Hand over the keys!
That's too expensive!
[That's too expensive!]
Beette: 150's the lowest I'm going to go. I've already lost money on it.
[Hand over the keys!]
Beette: Hey... Thanks a ton. Here's the key.
Beette: You really helped me out...I can fund my next project with this…
Vi: It was nice helping you.
Beette: If it gets off the ground, you three can come in for free... For real.
Vi: Really?
Beette: Yeah...I never forget a favor. Take care, okay?
Leif: Mhm. It's good to not be homeless anymore.
Vi: Yeah! See you around!
[Spy Beette, post house-buying]
Vi: ...She gave us a really good deal, huh.
Vi: And I've only said bad stuff about her…
Leif: ...Well, at least she didn't hear you.
Kabbu: And you helped her in the end! You've made up for it!
Vi: ...Yeah. I'll watch the stuff I say a bit more now...
[talk after buying]
Beette: Mmm... Maybe I should try buying a house in Defiant Root.
6. Honeycomb’s Lab
[first entry]
Honeycomb: WHO IS IT!?
Honeycomb: Oh, it's you. How's the A.D.B.P. been treating you?
Vi: It's awesome! It really helped us out!
Honeycomb: Heheheh. Of course. My tools are the best there is!
Leif: Um, we seem to have forgotten your name.
Honeycomb: Oh. Hmm... Right. I'm Professor Honeycomb. Renowned scientist of the Bee Kingdom!
Honeycomb: ...Or I was, until that Doctor H.B. took my spot!
Honeycomb: H.B.'s creations all use weird tech she found studying the old roaches, you see.
Honeycomb: Disgusting. While I do use ancient crystals, the roaches didn't create them. I'd never use borrowed technology for my experiments!
Honeycomb: I'll create the perfect A.D.B.P. through my own superior intellect.
Vi: What? The Beemerang isn't good enough yet?
Honeycomb: Yours is nothing special. It's just one of many in the A.D.B.P. Mk II series.
Honeycomb: When I finish the Mk III... They will seem like children's toys!
Vi: What? Can't you upgrade mine again?
Honeycomb: I'd consider it, if only because of the data you've helped me round up.
Honeycomb: If I manage to harness the crystal energy into the prototypes... the A.D.B.P. could spin forever, generating infinite energy!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Incredible!
Leif: That's really not how physics work.
Honeycomb: And then I'd reclaim my spot as the Bee Kingdom's lead scientist!
Kabbu: You have a noble goal. Won't you let us help you? In the name of science!
(minibubble) Vi: Free upgrade!
Honeycomb: Maybe later. But for now, begone! You're getting in the way of my research!
Vi: Yikes. Fine. Let's come back later.
[talk again, nothing else to get from her at the moment]
Honeycomb: I'm busy! Shoo, Shoo!
Honeycomb: HACK HACK COUGH!
Leif: We should go before we make her faint...
[Overworld Spy]
Vi: Woah, look at all these Beemerangs!
Kabbu: She seems to have been working on the A.D.B.P. somewhat obsessively…
Leif: And she's not even done yet. Her work ethic is admirable, given her age…
[Spy Honeycomb]
Vi: I knew I'd seen her somewhere before!
Leif: She seems to have a bit of obsession with the A.D.B.P.
Kabbu: I thought it was A.B.D.P.
Vi: I already told you it's the Beemerang!
[After doing Tardigrade and key half talks with Hawk in the desert]
Honeycomb: Oh. Hawk is back. Wonderful. He said you helped him.
Vi: Yeah! Do we get a reward?
Honeycomb: No way! You already have my (stolen) prototype and want more?!
Vi: Ugh.
Kabbu: Come on, Vi. Helping is its ow-
Vi: "Its own reward". Yeah, I've heard it before!
Honeycomb: Hm. You're so ungrateful, but I actually DO have something for you.
Honeycomb: As long as you're willing to gather some more data for me. Take this.
Vi: Ugh, more data stuff? That's so boring!
Honeycomb: Just be grateful I let you keep the prototype at all! Now get out before I lose my patience!
Honeycomb: It's time for me to take Chomper Research to the next level!
[Spy Hawk]
Leif: There's something about Hawk we just can't describe…
Vi: Really? He's just a normal dude to me!
Kabbu: As normal as a scientist Moth working in a Beehive can be…
Leif: It must be our imagination...
Hawk: Thank you for your help at the desert.
Vi: No problem! Now for th-
Kabbu: It was nothing special, Hawk. Just doing our best.
(minibubble) Vi: ...
Hawk: I have a lot of data to analyze about the Roaches and the old world now.
Hawk: But the professor is already looking into something else.
Leif: What would it be?
Hawk: Something on those plant creatures in Golden Hills, the Chompers.
Hawk: They reproduce quickly through seeds. But what if we could somehow harness that seed without it hatching?
Hawk: They seem to sprout instantly when touching a hard surface, but it should be possible to extract them if treated carefully.
Leif: Good luck with that. We wouldn't know where to start looking.
Hawk: If you manage to find one, please bring it here. Although the professor's been trying her whole life…
Hawk: Is such a seed truly hiding in the Golden Path...?
Kabbu: We will keep it in mind, Hawk. Keep up the good work!
[talk again]
Hawk: Chompers seem to have a place where they congregate hidden somewhere in the hills.
Hawk: We haven't been able to explore it since they are so vicious, but maybe you'd have better luck.
[talk with chomper seed]
Hawk: ...! That's…
Hawk: You must show it to the professor right away!
[have chomper seed; goes from end of either Hawk returning or nothing else to do dialogue to:]
Honeycomb: ...Wait, what's THAT?!
Vi: Uh, what?
Honeycomb: THAT! HAND IT OVER!
[exit out]
Honeycomb: I KNOW you have a bioform on you! Just hand it over!
Honeycomb: HACK HACK COUGH!
Leif: ...What's a bioform?
[give something else]
Honeycomb: This is useless! Give me the BIOFORM!
Kabbu: C-calm down! What's a bioform!?
[give chomper seed, hawk not back]
Honeycomb: That seed! Could it be...?!
Honeycomb: If only Hawk was here we could examine it! He is still at the desert, what is taking him so long?! Go after him!
[give chomper seed, Hawk back]
Honeycomb: As I thought! That's a Chomper Seed!
Kabbu: Indeed. It was left behind by a Mother Chomper…
Honeycomb: Fascinating! Do you know how uncommon it is for seeds to not bloom immediately?
Honeycomb: Hawk! HAWK! Come here! Quick!
Hawk: Have I heard correctly? You actually found an unhatched Chomper Seed...?
Honeycomb: Indeed! With this, maybe…
Honeycomb: Yes, YES! Maybe we can make it work!
Vi: What? What will work?
Honeycomb: Shut it and watch! Come here!
Honeycomb: I've been preparing this for YEARS!
Honeycomb: In front of you, you see what I call a "Chomper VAT"!
Leif: That's just a huge chunk of glass.
Honeycomb: Hush! This place is just a compact environment where Chompers thrive.
Honeycomb: With this, we can plant that seed right here in the lab.
Kabbu: ...So you wish for a pet Chomper?
Honeycomb: Pet?! I don't have time for that! This is SCIENCE!
Hawk: If we can somehow study how the Chompers are born and their lifestyles outside of chomping bugs…
Hawk: It would help us understand them more, and maybe even pacify them in the future.
Vi: Sure...I really don't get how, though. Is it worth it?
Honeycomb: Just getting them to stop attacking travelers is a huge boon to bugdom!
Hawk: We can't study them without great risks. But here, we can observe them easily.
Leif: We do find Chompers cute. Here's hoping this works.
Honeycomb: That's what I like to hear! It's the moment of truth!
Honeycomb: Success! It lives... IT LIVES!
(minibubble) Leif: Aw...such a cutie.
Kabbu: I-Impressive! This Chomper looks a bit different though doesn't it?
Hawk: Hm. My guess is that this is…
Hawk: You said that you got this seed from a Mother Chomper?
Vi: Yeah. It was a super big, super strong mama Chomper!
Honeycomb: I can only assume that this small one was supposed to be the next in line for that position!
Hawk: Chompers do have a weird hierarchy system, but it isn't too far apart from how us bugs do it.
Hawk: They have their Mother, we have our Queen.
Kabbu: Maybe it's because she is still young, but she seems very peaceful.
Honeycomb: Hm...I suppose there is some sort of imprinting in this Chomper too. It doesn't seem like it will turn violent.
Honeycomb: You brought the seed here. Would you care to name it?
Leif: Really? Can we?
Hawk: It's only fair. We owe this incredible specimen to you.
Honeycomb: I'm bad with names, anyways...Go on! Name it!
Honeycomb: |string,9|? Are you sure?
Honeycomb: Very well! Now I have another favor to ask you…
Vi: Ugh. You're gonna have to start paying!
Honeycomb: This task IS the payment!
Honeycomb: I want you to go out in the field with this Chomper and gather data on their behaviors.
Vi: How's that a reward!? You want us to babysit a dangerous MONSTER!
Leif: ...Don't call it a monster.
Hawk: She seems to have taken a liking to you three, and should be mostly harmless.
Hawk: Maybe if she lives alongside bugs, she could grow to become a peaceful Mother Chomper.
Leif: We don't even care if you don't agree, Vi. We're doing it. It's too cute to leave here.
Vi: ...Fine. I guess it IS a bit cute!
Kabbu: Isn't it!? I cannot wait to share stories with it!
Honeycomb: It's settled! Come on over and take her out for a walk when you can.
Honeycomb: Just bring her back into the VAT whenever, too.
Kabbu: Count on us, Professor. We will ensure a bright future for this Chomper!
Hawk: Treat |string,9| carefully… It's quickly earned my love.
Honeycomb: Take good care of that Chomper! We can't afford having to find another one!
Leif: You don't need to say it twice, we will protect her with all we got.
Hawk: |string,9| seems to really have taken a liking to you. Please watch over her.
Hawk: If you're interested, I can change the name that you call her by. Would you like to change it?
Textbox: Yes
No
Hawk: Alright. Take care of her.
[examine vat, after getting chompy]
[chompy with you]
Textbox: Leave |string,9| here?
Textbox: Yes
No
[chompy in vat, no ribbons]
Textbox: Take |string,9| with you?
Textbox: Yes
No
[chompy in vat, have at least one ribbon]
Textbox: What will you do with |string,9|?
Textbox: Take With You
Give Ribbon/Take Ribbon
Do Nothing
[chompy left in other location]
Textbox: You left |string,9| somewhere else!
7. Entrance to Factory
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: We're... We're so high up. No fence, nothing...!
Leif: Just keep looking straight, Kabbu. It's not a long bridge.
Kabbu: Ngh... So high up...
Vi: Look. If you fall, I'll catch you, okay? Just get moving!
Kabbu: Vi...! ...Very well. I won't give up. Let's go!
[pre-talking to the queen]
Guard: Do you have a tour scheduled? No civilians or tourists allowed otherwise.
(minibubble) Vi: Ugh.
[Story, walking across after the meeting with the queen]
Vi: Wait!
Kabbu: W-WHAT IS IT!? TEAM, DON'T FALL DOWN!
Vi: Oi! Calm down!
Leif: A bridge's not the best place for sudden outbursts.
Vi: Look. Everything in the Factory's super expensive! And they don't let you leave mid-tour!
Kabbu: I see...We should shop beforehand, then?
Vi: Yup! Let's save some berries!
Leif: Or we could spend a little not to have to go all the way back...
Guard: Ah, the Queen's allowed you in. Go on ahead.
[Story, exiting factory post-chapter 3]
Kabbu: It's relieving to get out, isn't it? And nobody got hurt!
Vi: Mhm…
Leif: Something on your mind?
Vi: Kinda. Malbee and the Overseer never really approved of me... But they changed their mind!
Vi: So, I dunno. Maybe I CAN fix stuff with my sister!
Kabbu: Vi, you've mentioned her before, but what kind of bee is she?
Vi: Her name's Jaune. She's a painter in the Hive! We got into a really bad fight…
Leif: The crisis is over. We won't complain about a small detour, but it's up to you.
(minibubble) Kabbu: Indeed!
Vi: ...Thanks. I'll think about it. I'll drop by when I feel it's right!
8. Throne Room
[Story, first entry]
Guard: My Queen, the Ant Kingdom's explorers have arrived. The doctor's here, as well.
Bianca: Oh! Adorable, aren't they? Welcome!
Bianca: I hope the Hive has shown great hospitality and kindness towards you.
Kabbu: Y-Yes! We are grateful, Que-
Mothiva: Oh, most respected Queen! Your words humble our heart - we are truly blessed to be in your presence!
(minibubble) Zasp: (Mothiva... Don't overdo it.)
(minibubble) Mothiva: (Shut up!)
Vi: Uh, yeah. It's nice to be back…
Bianca: Vi! Is that you? You have grown so beautifully into a fine bee!
Vi: U-Um…
Bianca: We have heard of your exploits here. You have brought pleasant surprises to my days.
Kabbu: That's great, Vi!
Vi: T-Thank you, Queen.
(minibubble) Mothiva: (Grr!!!)
Eri: The Hive is wonderful! Makes me wish I was a bee!
Bianca: Ahaha! Now, now. We all have our wonderful place in this world.
(minibubble) Leif: (This Queen is something else. If only ours took note...)
Bianca: But now, the time for pleasantries is over. If you don't mind, let us get to the matter at hand.
Bianca: H.B.?
H.B.: Yes, my Queen.
Bianca: As we all know, the graceful Ant Queen has made a heavy request of our kind.
Bianca: The core of the Honey Factory, which we owe this great kingdom to, has turned out to be an artifact.
Bianca: Under normal circumstances, we would have to deny even the Queen her request.
Bianca: However, she has provided us with all we need to build a new core.
Gen: R-Right! Kina should have delivered them to the factory already…
H.B.: Fufufu... Yes, I have gone there and gave a quick examination.
H.B.: With my incredible intellect, I can quickly create a suitable replacement. All due to these materials' incredible quality!
Bianca: It's quite a simple ordeal, isn't it? Almost feels like we've gone through a bit too many formalities…
Mothiva: Never, Your Majesty! There is no request we would not acquiesce for thee!
(minibubble) Vi: Ac-squeeze?
Bianca: Ahaha! If you are true of your word, that would make me most happy.
Bianca: For I would like to invite you to accompany the doctor to the Honey Factory, and witness this pivotal exchange.
Bianca: You are not obligated to go, but it would warm our heart if you did…
Mothiva: Yes. YES!
Eri: Sure thing! We would love to see even more of the kingdom!
Leif: Yes. For one, seeing honey being produced sounds delicious.
Kabbu: Leif, you are not to eat any of it!
(minibubble) Leif: (Aww...)
Vi: Um, thanks. We'll go.
Bianca: Vi…
Vi: Q-Queen?
Bianca: Contrary to what I believed, it seems the outside world did you some good.
Bianca: You look so grown up! Your team has my thanks.
Kabbu: Ah! Um, you're welcome, Queen.
Vi: I...I haven't changed at all. I'm the same Vi!
Bianca: Ahaha... A mother knows best. Maybe you've yet to notice.
(minibubble) Vi: ...
Mothiva: W-Well! Shall we go?
Guard: The Queen is speaking! Shut your mouth!
(minibubble) Mothiva: E-Eep!
Bianca: No need to be so ruthless, my dear guard. Ahaha!
Bianca: But you are indeed free to go unto the factory. It's to the west of my throne's entrance.
Bianca: Vi, please take care of everyone as they explore. As sure as I am that there will be no issues.
Vi: ...Yeah. I will. You can count on me!
Guard: Dismissed!
Mothiva: Sigh...Let's go, Zasp.
Zasp: About time.
H.B.: Now, teams. I still have to pick up some tools. We'll meet up there.
H.B.: Don't let the wind blow you off the bridge!
Kabbu: Geez, Vi. You made bees seem so mean! When you have a graceful Queen like that!
Leif: Even we are disarmed by her words. They remind us of Elizant.
Vi: ...I was mad at everyone, okay?
Leif: Even so, you shouldn't have badmouthed them.
Vi: Fine. I'm sorry, okay!? And I'll, uh...I'll fix stuff. Slowly. Can we just do the mission?
Kabbu: Heheheh. Alright. Let's go, team.
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: This throne room is so pleasant, and the smell is fantastic!
Vi: That's what a bunch of honey and flowers will do to any place, really.
Leif: The Queen's demeanor also lightens up the mood. Shame we're here for business.
Vi: Eh...I'm sure I can get you both back in.
Leif: Oh? You're willing to come back?
Vi: ...Let's go!
[Spy Bianca]
Kabbu: Say, Vi. The Queen mentioned a mother knowing best…
Vi: Just a bee thing, really.
Leif: Do you think of the Queen as your mother?
Vi: Not really... She's the Queen before anything else.
Kabbu: I'm sure she does think of you as her daughter, though.
Vi: Dunno... Everyone's her daughter to her. Does it make anyone special then?
Leif: That's another way of thinking about it…
Vi: You two are overthinking this! Let's get going already!
[before the lockdown]
Bianca: The way to the factory is just outside, you can't miss it.
Bianca: Please enjoy your visit!
Guard: You heard the Queen! Head to the factory! It is through the west exit.
[post-ch 3]
Guard: A Code 32!? Were we under attack!?
Guard: I heard about the shutdown. I apologize in behalf of the Bee Kingdom! This will never happen again!
Leif: Um, no problem. What a passionate response...
[Quest: Power Plant Investigation]
Bianca: Excuse me!? How could you let this happen!?
Guard: I-I don't know, my Queen…
Guard: Reports say that something went wrong at the Power Plant, which caused the Code 32 lockdown!
Bianca: And you found nothing in the Power Plant? Are you certain you looked through EVERYTHING?
Guard: Y-yes, Your Majesty.
Bianca: To think our honored guests were endangered! This must not happen again. Please do see to that.
Guard: We will continue our investigation with double the troops!
Bianca: You should have given it your all from the start!
Guard: S-sorry, my Queen...
[Talk again]
Bianca: Ah, Vi. I humbly commend you for your service at the Factory.
Vi: It was no problem!
Bianca: I hope that this incident doesn't make you dread coming home again…
Vi: N-no. Seriously, it's super fine!
Bianca: Oh hoho! I'm glad, Vi. ...I hope you can reconcile with everyone soon.
Vi: Y-yeah. I'm uh, working on it. Gotta go!
[talk again]
Guard: What could have happened at the Power Plant...?
[quest finished]
Guard: One Midge caused all of that? Well, I'll be…
Guard: Thank you! Thank you SO MUCH! We can never repay you!
Leif: Um, no problem. What a passionate response...
[end of quest dialogue]
[postgame]
Aebees: D-Don't mess with the queen, okay? Or you'll answer to me!
[Spy Aebees]
Vi: I don't remember her ever being so...uh, meek. Meek's the word.
Kabbu: Something quite traumatic must've occurred.
Leif: Well, she's still willing to keep going. That's worth respect.
Bianca: Vi...I knew since you were born you'd do something incredible.
Bianca: Your path may have been unconventional, but I am proud of you.
Vi: M-Mom...! You helped us out too!
9. Jaune’s Gallery
[Overworld Spy, before first talk]
Vi: C-Can we go?
Leif: Something wrong?
Vi: I just...don't wanna be here... Sigh.
[Spy Jaune, initial]
Kabbu: So this is Vi's sister…
(minibubble) Vi: ...
Leif: All bees are sisters, aren't they?
Kabbu: Well, yes. But even in a huge colony, some get more attached to others.
Leif: We guess so. No point in thinking about it too much.
[First talk]
Jaune: ...So you've finally come crawling back.
Vi: ...Jaune.
Kabbu: Miss, we-
Leif: Let's give the two of them some space, Kabbu.
(minibubble) Kabbu: O-Okay.
Jaune: What do you want? I'm busy. The Queen's commissioned me for a birthday piece.
Jaune: That horrendous art you hate so much is doing quite well!
Vi: T-That's uh, really cool. My team and I had this cool mission at the factory.
Jaune: The factory? You're the one who solved the lockdown? N-Not that I'm impressed.
Jaune: So you managed to squeeze your way into an exploration team. Color me shocked.
Jaune: Didn't expect it from such a petite child.
Vi: You're still gonna treat me like a kid!?
Jaune: Yes! If only I was crass enough to treat you with half the disrespect you've shown me your whole life!
Vi: I came to say sorry, but you're making it really hard!
Jaune: I do not want your empty apologies! You seem to be doing quite well anyways, ain't you?
Jaune: Just go. Play with your team or whatever. I've got my issues to solve.
Vi: S-Seriously? You're kicking me out!? I'm saying sorry!
Jaune: I've got to finish this piece, but I can't find any red paint.
Jaune: That's all I can afford to worry about now. I certainly can't waste my time…
Jaune: With a mean, greedy, selfish child like you!
Vi: FINE! YOU'RE DUMB ANYWAYS! I was even gonna say your art got better!
Jaune: You've said enough about my art for a lifetime, Vi. Just leave me alone!
Kabbu: T-This isn't going well…
Vi: WE'RE LEAVING.
Leif: Vi…
Vi: NOW!
[Overworld Spy, after first talk and before getting paint]
Vi: Let's go. No point coming back until we've got the paint...
[before getting paint]
Jaune: Shoo! I'm busy! Go play with your team or something!
[walk in, after getting paint]
Vi: Can you two wait here?
Leif: Are you sure you don't need backup?
Kabbu: We've got your back!
Vi: It's ok. I think I gotta do it myself. Just wait a bit!
Jaune: Vi! I didn't expect you to come back…
Jaune: It seems I wasn't clear enough during our last exchange!
Jaune: You've hurt me deeply, I'm busy, and someone uncaring like yo-
Jaune: Mother of all bees! That's...
Vi: Some super premium, Golden Settlement red paint!
Jaune: You've gone and gotten it to rub your riches in my face!?
Vi: Nope. Just gonna leave it here.
Vi: I'm sorry, Jaune. I hope your painting comes out good.
Vi: I'll get going now...
Jaune: Wait just one moment!
Vi: Y-Yeah?
Jaune: Red paint is off season, and hugely requested as it is.
Jaune: I know you didn't just walk into a store for it…
Jaune: Why make an effort after I've gone and shouted at you?
Vi: I woulda done it faster if you'd been nice and asked!
Jaune: …
Vi: I AM sorry I said you draw like a weevil. And all the other stuff.
Vi: You weren't believing me, so I had to go EVERYWHERE for the darn paint!
Jaune: Violet…
Vi: B-But if I can say something, you were mean to me too!
Vi: I had dreams and you stomped over them!
Vi: I'm doing great! I've gone to many places and beat up huge monsters!
Vi: If...if you had any faith in me I could've done it sooner!
Jaune: I…
Jaune: .......
Jaune: I was quite inconsiderate, wasn't I? My little sister…
Jaune: Please forgive me.
Vi: Only if you forgive me back!
Jaune: ...It's settled then. Welcome home.
Vi: Jaune!
Jaune: I missed you... But I felt if I let things slide it wouldn't be right.
Vi: I don't wanna be a jerk, but I didn't miss the Hive at all.
Vi: ...I did miss you just a little bit.
Jaune: Could you step out with your friends for a few minutes?
Jaune: There's something I've got to finish. And that I want to show you.
Vi: Oh, uh. Okay. I'll go tell them!
[reenter room]
Jaune: Welcome! It's good to see you all again.
Kabbu: Um yes. Let us leave last time behind us.
(minibubble) Leif: Pleased.
Vi: What's the thing you were finishing? The Queen's present?
Jaune: Not at all. This one will make her painting look dull.
Jaune: I've had this project for a long time, but not the heart to finish it…
Jaune: I'm grateful I get to show it to you.
Vi: Stop hyping it up! I wanna see it!
Jaune: Hehehe. Oh, what a great audience! Get ready!
Jaune: I call this... "A Bond Thicker Than Honey"!
(minibubble) Leif: ...A-Aww...
(minibubble) Kabbu: S-sniff...!
Jaune: Hohoho! Its beauty moves you to tears!
Vi: Jaune...
Vi: You're really the best artist in the Hive!
Jaune: And you its best explorer!
Jaune: Let's not fight again, alright?
Vi: Never!
Textbox: Vi can now use the Sharing Stash skill in battle!
[Overworld Spy, post-quest]
Kabbu: All's well that ends well!
Leif: You did it, Vi. We're extra happy for you.
Vi: Heheheh. It was worth every berry!
Jaune: Hey, Vi. I AM a bit busy with the Queen's Gift, but...If you want, you can all rest here!
Textbox: Thanks!
No Thanks!
[Thanks!]
Jaune: Just make sure not to knock anything over!
[No Thanks!]
Jaune: Alright. Stay as long as you want, if you wish to see me working!
[Spy Jaune, post-quest]
Vi: So...yeah. Jaune's my sis.
Leif: All bees are sisters, aren't they?
Vi: Well, yeah. But I grew up with her! So we're special sisters!
Kabbu: In a way, it seems bees do choose their family...
