Rubber Prison
1. Pier
[Overworld Spy]
Vi: So many bridges! This prison is huge!
Kabbu: Are there truly so many wicked in Bugaria?
Leif: Well...if they're all here, we wouldn't notice.
[Story, first entrance]
Kabbu: W-We made it! I trust the Termites, but I'm glad to leave the submarine.
Leif: Your fears aside, could you tell us a bit more about Rubber Prison? It's new to us.
Vi: Oh, I know this one! It's the prison where they put aaaall the bad bugs!
Leif: Things got that bad after Elizant went to sleep?
Kabbu: So it seems. It's quite the secure facility, yes? The Wasps taking over is quite troublesome.
Vi: Meh. We'll just snoop around and beat 'em up. It's what we do!
Leif: Heh, that's a good plan.
Kabbu: Let's go, team! We must clear the way for the others!
Sign: -> Library
[post-ch6]
Ant Guard: Oh no! It is as I feared! The old bridge fell!
Guard: How are we supposed to reach the office now!? I can't fly!
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
2. Checkpoint Corridor
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: Not one. Not two. THREE gates.
Vi: It's a prison, what'd ya expect!?
Kabbu: Being an upstanding citizen has its perks...I'd loathe to be imprisoned here.
Sign: The prison's gates are all controlled by the grey switches.
Sign: Please ask management for access, to prevent getting trapped inside.
Sign: Explorers and Visitors, do not lose your permit.
Sign: Otherwise, we must assume you are a prisoner. Have a good day.
[Post-ch6]
Ant Guard: Well, we managed to retake control of the prison…
Guard: We must now retake the Queen's trust.
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
3. Spike Room
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: H-Hovering cages!? Even for criminals, isn't that a bit excessive?
Leif: We don't want to think about what one must do to earn such a cell.
Vi: Good thing I can fly...
4. Cells Horizontal
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: Being here makes me so uneasy…
Leif: Why? It's not like someone like you would ever end up behind bars.
Kabbu: Just from the idea of it...!
Sign: < - Cafeteria -> Giant's Lair Bridge
[Let’s talk]
Venus: The King's got his whole army up ahead! You'd best heal up!
[post-ch6]
Ant Guard: Phew. All prisoners are back in their cells! Sure hope they don't break out again!
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
5. Cafeteria
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: This is the most hardcore cafeteria we've ever seen.
Vi: The food fights here have to be awesome!
Kabbu: With those cannons, I don't think anyone would dare...
[post-ch6]
Ant Guard: Cafeteria... Safe!
Ant Guard: Those cannons are used to keep order around here! You never know when a fight will break out!
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
6. Cells Vertical
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: This security is impressive! Yet it couldn't stop the Wasps at all…
Vi: Well, duh. They fly.
Leif: We've got magic shields, too.
Kabbu: S-So I am the only one stopped by it, huh…
Sign: < - Cafeteria, Cells ^ Gym, Security -> Giant's Lair Bridge
[if completed Explorer Check]
Pisci: You put us here, so...don't expect us to be happy to see you.
Cenn: ...Look, we're just waiting for this to blow over. Let us be.
[Spy Cenn or Pisci]
Leif: We've got to respect these two not taking the chance to run.
Kabbu: Perhaps they've truly taken our words to heart!
Vi: Wonder if Maki'll give 'em a second chance...
Sign: When will someone fix the 3rd floor bridge? That thing looks like it could break down at any moment!
Burglar: My sentence is over in two days, no way I'm escaping now, go away!
[Spy Burglar]
Vi: It's kinda weird to not have to fight.
Kabbu: Some people do regret their actions. We must allow them to make amends.
Leif: ...At least while their crimes are small enough to forgive.
[post-ch6]
Cenn: That was some ruckus... Anyways, just leave us alone.
Pisci: Wasps or guards... We'd have stayed here anyways.
Burglar: Great, because of that ruckus my sentence got extended! And I was about to get out too...
7. Third Floor
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: Working in a prison isn't glamorous at all.
Vi: You think the Queen sends the lazy guards here?
Kabbu: Mantaining this prison is not a game! She must send her best!
Leif: (Why not both?)
Sign: < - Gym - > Security Room
Sign: Remember to put equipment back after using it! Others will use it after you!
Sign: -> Warden's Office Warning! The bridge shows signs of weakness, careful when crossing!
[post-ch6]
Ant Guard: Can't believe this happened... So humiliating!
Ant Guard: No means no! Until you pay off the machine you broke, you can't go back in!
Burglar: Are you serious!? Community Service doesn't pay well at all!
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
[Spy Burglar]
Vi: So prisoners can earn berries, huh.
Leif: Cheap labor for the good of those they've wronged.
Kabbu: Well, something good's come out of villainy...
8. Gym
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: A training facility?
Leif: A gym, Kabbu.
Kabbu: They allow prisoners to stay fit and healthy!?
Vi: It's not like that'll help them break out…
[post-ch6]
Ant Guard: Ugh. Making sure no one steals this equipment all day... I hate this job.
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
Burglar: Hehe. You look like fresh meat. What are you in for?
Burglar: Huh, what? You're explorers? Uhhh... I said nothing, I'm innocent. I swear!
[Spy Burglar]
Leif: Didn't we meet this one in the Bandits' Hideout?
Kabbu: Hm? We didn't turn any of them in, though…
Vi: Wonder what he did to end up here…
Bandit: All I wanted was just to eat good food for no effort. Joined the bandits, then ended here.
Bandit: And you know what? This is much better than I imagined. I wish I was arrested sooner.
[Spy Bandit]
Kabbu: S-Someone who enjoys prison!?
Vi: Well, there's free food!
Kabbu: How could that possibly be a good enough reason!?
Leif: Uh oh. Kabbu's having a crisis…
Thief: I was sure I'd get beaten up for being a pushover. I mean, it definitively happened, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd would be.
[Spy Thief]
Vi: Prison's rough for the weak villains, huh.
Kabbu: Sadly, not many think about that before ending up here...
Ant Guard: O-Oh! Team Snakemouth! T-This isn't what it looks like, I swear!
Ruffian: ...
[Spy Guard or Ruffian]
Leif: So love can bloom between chaos and order.
Kabbu: ...Let's go.
9. Office
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: Sometimes it's easy to forget even a prison needs a normal office.
Vi: Bleh.
Leif: Sitting here processing paperwork...this is just as much of a prison as the other cells.
10. Security
[Overworld Spy, ch6]
Vi: Why's this the security room? It doesn't seem special at all…
Leif: There must be something hidden around here.
Terminal: Warning: Main Power Generator is damaged. Please turn on backup power to continue...
Ant Guard: I know we're in a difficult situation, but this here is the backup generator room.
Guard: The Wasps damaged the computer, but the only way to turn the backup power on is to spin that crank.
Guard: Do you have any way to do it?
Ant Guard: Argh! The Wasps trapped us here! Something is blocking the door and we can't get out!
Security Chief: I'm the security chief here, or at least I WAS. After this, I am totally retiring. What a humiliating situation.
[Spy all guards]
Leif: Oof. Must suck to work here and be trapped in a tiny room.
Kabbu: Let's beat the Wasps so we can save these Ants!
[spin crank]
Textbox: Backup Power Online.
[after spinning crank]
Guard: Nice. The computer should be working again.
Guard: It's an old piece of junk, though. If it doesn't turn on even with the power, just smash it until it works.
[inspect terminal with power not active]
Vi: Isn't the power on? Why's it not working?
Leif: Eh. Just kick it.
Kabbu: This is valuable government property! We can't just-
Leif: ...Just kick it!
[hit terminal]
Vi: Woah, it actually worked!
(minibubble) Leif: See?
Kabbu: ...Whatever. Let us see what we can do with this terminal…
[inspect terminal, functional]
Terminal: Toggle positions of the cafeteria tables?
[Overworld Spy, post-ch6]
Kabbu: A machine that can show what occurs in another location! Incredible!
Leif: It's impressive, but kinda creepy. Imagine a room where you can see everywhere at once.
Vi: That's just Venus with eyes, right?
Leif: ...Well, yes.
Ant Guard: We need to improve the surveilance systems, this tragedy must not repeat!
Ant Guard: I can't believe it! The door is still busted! We have to inform the capital to send a technician immediately!
Security Chief: Next time I go back to the capital, I'm definitely handing out my resignment letter...
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
[postcanon]
[Spy Tectec, before talking]
Kabbu: What could a Termite be doing here?
Leif: He seems about done tinkering with that machine. Let's find out.
[first talk]
Tectec: All seems to be in order now!
Tectec: These devices are similar, yet so different to Termite computers…
Kabbu: Machines never cease to impress me!
Tectec: ...Huh, what's this?
Tectec: Some prisoners should've been let out already…
Security Chief: *grumble* Management ignored me on that…
Tectec: One, two... There. Clean record!
Leif: Yay.
Tectec: It seems this place could use more of my help, so I'll stay a while.
Tectec: ...And it pays like 80 berries an hour.
Vi: WOAH! Tech pays a LOT!
Leif: Gonna pick up science, Vi?
Vi: ...Nope.
Kabbu: Well then... Let's get going, team!
[subsequent talks]
Tectec: These really aren't that different. I wonder if it's just a coincidence...
[Spy Tectec, after talking]
Leif: How nice of him to stay. Perhaps he's curious about the technology.
Vi: I'd never leave with THAT salary…
Kabbu: How much does the Hive pay, Vi?
Vi: ...Not enough.
11. Library
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: This is quite the collection. It rivals the palace's.
Vi: Having to read all of these's such a mean punishment!
Kabbu: They're...most likely not meant to be a punishment...
[inspect bookshelf]
Textbox: This bookshelf feels a bit wobbly, and it looks like there is an empty shelf.
[add book, need more]
Textbox: Looks like more books could fit here...
[put in incorrectly]
Textbox: ...Nothing happened.
[first failure]
Vi: ...What? That's it?
Leif: It was just a bunch of books, so…
Kabbu: Nonsense! There must be some sort of order we're missing!
Vi: Ugh. Are we gonna have to read them!?
[post-ch6]
Ant Guard: I've always wondered why they made those moving bridges to get here.
Guard: Maybe it's to prove that knowledge is hard to get and you must work for it?
Guard: But that just makes no one ever come here! It feels really lonely...
[Spy Ant Guard]
Leif: It's back to normal for the guards.
Kabbu: I must commend them! I'd need a vacation, at least!
Vi: Paid vacation!
Leif: They've earned their hard-worker fame, for sure.
12. Giant Lair Bridge
[Overworld Spy, pre-battle]
Kabbu: ...! Everyone! The Wasp King's up ahead!
[Let’s talk]
Venus: The King's got his whole army up ahead! You'd best heal up!
[Story]
Kabbu: ...! Everyone! The Wasp King's up ahead!
Hoaxe: Such poor defenses. This is to be expected from those Ants!
Vi: Stop right there! You're done!
Hoaxe: How many times must I knock you down before you learn?
Leif: Third time's the charm, eh?
Hoaxe: I don't have time to deal with vermin.
Hoaxe: ULTIMAX!
Kabbu: What in the sideways Bee's stinger is that!?
Vi: Oi, that's cheating!
Fuff: MY KING! I am here to carry out your will!
Hoaxe: Make it quick, and painful.
Hoaxe: Do not let anyone cross this door!
Leif: Tch. Let's follow his advice. Quick and painful.
Fuff: Your journey ends here! At the hands of GENERAL ULTIMAX!
[defeat tank]
Fuff: Agh! NO! My...my ULTIMAX TANK! How could you...?!?!
[post-battle]
Fuff: N-No! You won't pass! No one can pass!!!
Vi: Knock it off! You already lost!
Fuff: NO ONE WILL PASS! THOSE ARE THE KING'S ORDERS!
Fuff: I...I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE KING'S ORDERS!
Fuff: I...I MUST FOLLOW...
Kabbu: T-This isn't normal!
Leif: That Wasp in the kingdom said everyone'd gone nuts…
Leif: Could this one be controlled too?
Vi: Just let us pass!
Fuff: YOU WILL HAVE TO CRUSH MY BODY!
Vi: ...That works.
Leif: That king employs such distasteful tactics.
Leif: Let's leave this poor guy to the Ant Kingdom.
Kabbu: Indeed. Let's secure the area so reinforcements can come in.
Kabbu: Then, we'll have to give swift chase!
Kabbu: I will send the signal!
Mothiva: Ohohoho! The cavalry's here! Aren't you glad?
Celia: Great work clearing the way, Team Snakemouth!
Eri: Yeah. It's gonna be smooth sailing from here!
Maki: We cannot celebrate yet. The Wasp King is brutally powerful.
Kina: He's gonna pay for bruising you!
Yin: Muh muh!
Elizant: Indeed. But for now, we are fortunate to have gotten this far.
Vanessa: Are we sure it's alright with everyone having come?
Elizant: Queen Bianca has gracefully offered to protect the Ant Kingdom while we fulfill this mission.
Vi: Woah, I thought she was a super pacifist!
Zasp: Can't reason with a mad bug.
Elizant: My knights and trusted explorers! Make your final preparations. We venture into Giant's Lair - No Bug's Land!
Elizant: None have returned from it. We have no legends, no way to know what's inside.
Elizant: But if we do not face this challenge, we don't deserve tomorrow's freedom! Let us pray to Venus and charge!
Levi: What a magnificent rally! I'm pumped up!
Leif: Hmm. She's come far, hasn't she?
Kabbu: Even you were moved, eh Leif?
Vi: Time to kick some butt!
Vanessa: It's time...Bugaria will be saved today, but I too will reclaim my people. Let's go!
Mothiva: Idols first!
[Overworld Spy, post-battle]
Leif: Giant's Lair is up ahead. Is there really no info at all?
Kabbu: None. It had been sealed even before Elizant arrived, they say.
Vi: No wonder it fell with one swing.
Leif: Ancient doors are super high quality. We think the king's just a brute.
[if you started but haven’t finished Requesting Assistance and/or Explorer Check]
Ant Guard: Some explorers are out doing some business... Just wish they'd be done already, this is serious!
[no open explorer-relevant sidequests]
Ant Guard: Looks like everyone is here... Let's stop the Wasp King!
[Spy Guard]
Leif: It's gotta be rough working so close to the Giant's Lair.
Kabbu: We can only hope no monsters ever come out...
Yin: Muh muh muh!
Kina: Heh. I've been polishing my darts…
Kina: That jerk messed with the wrong family!
Maki: We cannot thank you enough for all you've done, Team Snakemouth.
Maki: Even before the Wasp King struck...I'm glad I gave you a permit.
Kabbu: S-Sir Maki...!
Vi: I told ya I was worth like 4 Bees!
Leif: We missed that whole thing. You'll have to share the tale over some food when we're done.
Elizant: Team Snakemouth. There is nothing left to say, as my orders are clear.
Elizant: ...But thank you, for escorting me through the Forsaken Lands.
Leif: Thank you, our Queen, for making the journey. It's thanks to you we got the submarine.
Elizant: It was my duty and honor. I hope you will escort me once more.
Vi: Count on it!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Certainly!
Zasp: We're on even standing, Team Snakemouth.
Leif: You're too decent to tag along with Mothiva.
Zasp: That's for me to decide.
Vi: Look. Whatever. Just beat a bunch of baddies up!
Zasp: Hah! That's the plan. Break a leg.
Kabbu: B-Break a leg?
Zasp: ...It uh, it means good luck.
Mothiva: Ohohoho!
Leif: Have you chosen to laugh just because?
Mothiva: I'm just delighted. We're going to be famous!
Mothiva: The books will speak of the great Mothiva's valiant role in saving Bugaria!
Vi: Yah. In a little corner next to our portrait!
Mothiva: We'll see about that, runt.
Kabbu: We'll see indeed. But today, we are comrades.
Common Mines Ant Guard dialogue
[Spy Ant Guard]
Kabbu: T-They should install a fence here! What a terrifying post!
Vi: Or ask a Hive soldier! At least they can fly!
[didn’t do Explorer Check]
Eri: Well this is it! The final deal!
Gen: Geez...I still need to stock up on some items! Hold on!
[did Explorer Check]
Gen: Um, Eri...are we really strong enough?
Eri: Chin up, Gen! Remember when we set up that bomb trap?
Gen: Heheh, yeah. That was pretty cool.
Vi: Just set a trap behind the baddies too!
Leif: We'll be counting on you.
Gen: Oh gosh. No pressure, right?
Kabbu: Well, just a bit of pressure.
Eri: Let's do this, sis!
[didn’t do Requesting Assistance]
Levi: Hm... We still have something to do, but I suppose that can wait.
Celia: Let's get this over with, we have some more pressing matters to resolve afterwards.
[did Requesting Assistance]
Levi: Thank you for assisting us in defeating Scarlet.
Levi: We'll pull our weight this time, and repay our debt!
Kabbu: It was nothing! You helped us protect Neo, after all…
Celia: ...Hey.
Vi: Hey.
Celia: I'm a bit nervous…
Leif: We're a bit nervous too.
Celia: But Levi's super pumped up, so I won't let any fear show!
Kabbu: That's what true courage is, facing our fears!
Kabbu: Let's bravely face that tyrant and save the kingdom!
Vanessa: Lead the way when your preparations are complete.
[Spy any explorer or either queen]
Kabbu: Everybody's here!
Vi: Yeah! We're good enough, but this is great!
Leif: It's very reassuring. Heh. We've made good friends.
Kabbu: We cannot afford to lose, for all of their sakes!
Ant Guard: ...This is the entrance to the Giant's Lair. Team Snakemouth... Be careful!
[Story, walk to entrance to Lair]
Vanessa: Team Snakemouth.
Kabbu: May we be of service, Queen Vanessa?
Vanessa: While you ventured into the Termite Kingdom, I did some studying of my own.
Vanessa: I think the Wasp King is hiding something. The source of his strength…
Vanessa: It probably lies in his crown.
Vi: Huh? How's a crown gonna pump you up?
Vanessa: Before I explain, I want you to have this.
Textbox: The Wasp Queen has entrusted you with the Flame Brooch!
Leif: What is this amulet? It feels so...warm.
Vanessa: This is the Wasp Kingdom's royal heirloom. My mother gave it to me, and told me to protect it no matter what.
Kabbu: Queen! Is it really alright for us to have this?
Vanessa: Of course. See, this emblem's been protecting me all this time…
Vi: I don't get how this is gonna help.
Vanessa: This amulet's magical. I don't know how, but it always protected me against the Wasp King's flames.
Vanessa: I am not a fighter, but you will most likely need this more than I do now.
Kabbu: We will safeguard it. It is an honor to be trusted with a royal treasure!
Vanessa: Be safe. And beat the heck out of that usurper!
[postcanon]
Ant Guard: Thank you, Team Snakemouth. The entire Ant Kingdom is in your debt!
