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.

Common Stratos and Delilah bounty spy
[Talk to Stratos, before Delilah]
Kabbu: It's Stratos and Delilah.
Vi: Wonder what they're doing here...
[First talk to Delilah]
Stratos: Hello there.
Vi: Hiya! Fancy meeting you here!
Delilah: Indeed! Seems you are also curious about this mountain over here?
Leif: Somewhat. What can you tell us about it?
Stratos: This is Stream Mountain. Called that because of this very oasis here, as the water comes from it.
Stratos: We've heard a powerful monster lives in here, so we are investigating.
Kabbu: A monster?
Delilah: Yeah, don't know much of it yet but it seems pretty nasty!
Delilah: Be careful if you explore the mountain, lots of strong creatures live inside!
Leif: But we bet it is full of treasure. Thank you either way.
Vi: Mhm! Treasure!
Stratos: Just stay safe, alright? Wouldn't want us to be blamed if you went missing.
[talk again]
Stratos: Be careful, alright? We don't know what the monster is but locals says it is powerful.
Stratos: Don't go blaming us if something goes wrong.
Delilah: Seems like this place is full of water. Horrible! I don't want to get my wings wet!
Stream Mountain, Tidal Wyrm
[Overworld spy, pre-boss]
Vi: Stream Mountain's depths are super lame! Where's the treasure!?
Leif: Be careful, everyone. We feel extremely powerful magic!
Kabbu: If even Leif is wary, we'd best be on guard. Watch your step, Vi!
[Overworld spy, post-boss]
Kabbu: With the beast defeated, this is nothing more than a puddle.
Leif: Mhm. Let's go back. Might as well raise the water and drown this place in history's waves.
Vi: Why're you two being all sappy...?
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 Tidal Wyrm…
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…
