[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.

Common Stratos and Delilah bounty spy
[first talk]
Stratos: Oh, Team Snakemouth. Taking a short break?
Leif: It's doing us much good. Are you vacationing as well?
Delilah: Nah. We're trying to get a boat!
Kabbu: A-A boat? What for?
Stratos: There is more to Metal Lake than this resort.
Stratos: We've heard a powerful monster lies hidden in a nearby island's cave.
Delilah: Anyone who's gone after it ended up missing!
Vi: Woah... As if lakes weren't bad enough already.
Leif: Thanks. We'll keep it in mind while traveling.
Kabbu: If you find a boat, please be safe!
Stratos: That we will. If you find a boat, be safe as well.
[talk again]
Stratos: The sea may be dangerous, but something about it is so alluring...
Delilah: Maybe we should finish a quest or two sometimes. Then we could buy the boat...
Metal Lake, Mystery Island
[Overworld Spy, before beating Peacock Spider]
Leif: What's that?
Vi: What's what?
Kabbu: A...beat? Music? How alluring…
Leif: Let's see if we can find its source.
Vi: I really can't hear anything…
Note: "Everyone left on the rescue ferry...but I chose to stay."
Note: "There's such a soothing beat… How could I leave this place behind?"
Note: "I've gotta find where it comes from...I've...gotta..."
[Overworld Spy, after beating Spider]
Kabbu: Such a fearsome monster hid in this cozy island…
Vi: Now that it's gone...maybe they can set up a resort here!
Leif: You don't miss a beat, huh.
Kabbu: Well, it'd be better than turning this into a graveyard...
[Let’s talk]
Venus: Climbing that water's pretty rough! You sure you have the right skill?
Metal Lake, Mystery Island Inside
[Overworld Spy, pre-battle]
Kabbu: The beat comes from here! We must climb to the top!
Leif: We might need a special ice move for this…
Vi: (Bleh...Why can't I hear it!?)
[Overworld Spy, post-battle]
Kabbu: If...if we weren't explorers, we might have met our end to that spider.
Leif: We were completely baited by it…
Vi: Not me. I couldn't hear it at all!
Kabbu: What matters is, no other unfortunate soul will meet its end here.
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 Peacock Spider…
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…
