Ant Kingdom, Underground Tavern
[First talk to Doppel]
Doppel: ...Howdy, look what the wind brought back.
Vi: Hi, Doppel.
Leif: Another ladybug? We thought…
(minibubble) Doppel: !
Kabbu: What are you saying, Leif? This Doppel sir is a fine Beetle.
Leif: ...Kabbu.
Kabbu: What?
Leif: ...Nothing. It's nothing.
Vi: A-Ahahaha, anyways... Um, this is Doppel! He runs the bar.
Doppel: That I do. Give the folks a bit more space to be free. Rowdier.
Kabbu: Err... What do you mean, Doppel?
Doppel: We handle jobs no one else can, pardner. Those too dangerous for the regular explorer.
Doppel: And in exchange, we get some nice favors with the Queen's folks…
Vi: And a big bunch'a berries!
Leif: Sounds interesting. What kind of jobs, then?
Doppel: Monsters. The type that wipe out squads by themselves.
Kabbu: …
Doppel: Scared?
Vi: As if!
Doppel: If you want to know more, mates...check the board here.
Doppel: And come see me if you complete any of them.
Kabbu: ...We will. Team, let's get rid of those pests.
Leif: Someone's pumped…
Vi: Agreed! Let's go get rich!
Vi: Er...carefully!
[Check quest board]
Doppel: Interested in that quest?
Textbox: We will do it!
Not now.
[We will do it!]
Doppel: Alrighty. I'm counting on you.
[Not now.]
Doppel: No rush.
Golden Settlement, Entrance
[after talking to Doppel]
Common Stratos and Delilah bounty spy
[First Talk]
Delilah: Heya. Great festival this year, eh?
Vi: I know, right?
Stratos: We heard some interesting rumors during it.
Stratos: You know of the windmills leading to this settlement?
Kabbu: Yes. They help provide power to Bugaria, do they not?
Delilah: Seems they tried to build one in a pretty dangerous place, and some workers got hurt.
Stratos: An incredibly cruel monster haunts the way to the Golden Settlement!
Vi: Really? We didn't see anything on the way here…
Delilah: Apparently it's a pretty high up area. Does it ring any bells?
Delilah: ...But yeah, it'd be nice if the area got reclaimed. Maybe they could build the windmill then.
Leif: We'll scout around if we're nearby.
Kabbu: Thank you for the information. Be wary of traveling there as well!
Delilah: No worries. Have safe travels, everyone!
[talk again]
Stratos: You seem like you plan to do something about it.
Stratos: It was a warning, not an invitation... Be safe.
Delilah: I'd be pretty stoked to meet the monster. Fighting it though? Nah…
Golden Path, Pitcher Plant Arena
[Overworld Spy, pre-beating Devourer]
Kabbu: This thorny surrounding...it reeks of danger!
Leif: That's a little dramatic.
Vi: It's fine! Let's load up on items and look around!
[Overworld Spy, post-beating Devourer]
Leif: Sorry, Kabbu...We didn't heed your warning.
Kabbu: It's alright...we're all safe, and that's all that matters.
Vi: Phew...I'm gonna think twice next time Kabbu feels danger...
Ant Kingdom, Underground Tavern
[talk after taking quests]
Doppel: Back already?
[if no new defeats]
Doppel: You haven't defeated the remaining bounties yet. When you do, we can talk about a reward.
[if defeated something]
Doppel: Ah...I see you defeated that nasty Devourer…
Doppel: May I have that crystal it dropped?
Doppel: ...Yes, this is a genuine deal. Here is your reward.
Doppel: Nice doing business with you. Please find the other bounties and your reward will be waiting.
[beat last bounty]
Doppel: Well, would you look at that. You actually did it.
Vi: Yup! All the baddies are down!
Leif: You weren't kidding, Doppel. They were quite troublesome to deal with.
Kabbu: Knowing Bugaria is safe from those monsters is a great relief!
Doppel: ...Ain't that the truth. I'll give you something extra, for all the trouble you've gone through.
Vi: Neat! Thanks, Doppel!
Doppel: Take care, you brave bunch.
[talk again]
Doppel: You've done Bugaria a great service. Let's see if the Queen takes notice…
