===Oh wow, the train...===
;(Idle quote)
:Serval: The carriage is so cool!
;(Initial interaction)
: Serval: Oh wow, the train carriages are so cool. Can we put a little stage there?
: No problem. Leave it to me.
: Um, I'll have to ask around first.
: Serval: Haha, I'm only kidding.
: Serval: But if you like, I could give you all a small private show any time.
: Serval: The sofas here all look tailor-made — perfect for VIP guests!
: Looking forward to rocking out in space!
: Serval: Thanks for inviting me, (Trailblazer). I've got my hands full right now, but I'm looking forward to the Express tour!

===(Trailblazer), can I borrow...===
;(Idle quote)
:Serval: Another look at the phonograph...
;(Initial interaction)
: Serval: (Trailblazer), can I borrow the Express' phonograph for a few days?
: You're not going to take it to pieces, are you?
:: Serval: Who do you take me for...
:: Serval: Alright, I admit that for a few seconds there, the thought may have crossed my mind.
: I understand. The music here is pretty good, huh?
:: Serval: And not only do you have Belobog music, but music from other planets, too...
:: Serval: I'd love to know where you picked this thing up.
: Serval: *sigh*, I'm not sure you guys will agree, but...
: Serval: ...would you mind if I made a trip to the Astral Express one time, just to listen to music?
: No problem, it'd be nice to hang out.
: Serval: I should've known you'd be cool with it, (Trailblazer)!
: Serval: It's a deal then. Next time you need something done in the workshop, I'll do it for free!

===Hey (Trailblazer)...===
;(Idle quote)
:Serval: Mr. Yang asked me about it all day...
;(Initial interaction)
: Serval: Hey (Trailblazer), how would you describe Mr. Yang?
: A wise and cautious mentor.
:: Serval: Oh? Seems you haven't seen his other side...
: A child at heart who loves adventures.
:: Serval: He doesn't look like the type, but that sounds about right.
: Fanatical fan of big robots.
:: Serval: Exactly! You won't believe this, but...
: Serval: I was talking to Mr. Yang about my career as a mechanic and my time in the Silvermane Guards. Somehow, we got onto that so-called Engine of Creation...
: Serval: As soon as I started talking about it, he jumped out of his seat in excitement — scared me half to death. He wanted to know everything there was to know about its technical specs and whether I'd ever had the chance to ride in it... Sadly, I had to tell him I never saw the robot myself.
: Serval: You know what? He's got me excited too... Let's find a time to head into the northern valleys and check it out!

===Right on time, (Trailblazer)!===
;(Idle quote)
:Serval: Chatted with Himeko...
;(Initial interaction)
: Serval: Right on time, (Trailblazer)! I just finished chatting with Himeko.
: What were you two talking about?
: I knew you two would hit it off.
:: Serval: Haha, of course! Himeko and her... collection — more than enough reason to come visit the Express.
: Serval: We talked about a lot of things — how she repaired the Express, all about her adventures, a certain resident fluffy conductor, and you guys...
: Serval: Oh, and she showed me her masterpiece too. I gotta say: Soooo cool! It was hard to resist the urge to open it up and see what was inside, but I managed to control myself...
: Serval: If I'd known there were so many high-tech wonders on the Express, I probably would've insisted on going with you guys.
: Serval: Haha, only joking — I'm needed in Belobog. Still, if I ever forget how to play the guitar or fix things in my workshop... there'll be a spot for me here, right? It's a deal!

===Tsk... Think, Serval...===
;(Idle quote)
:Serval: What's a good name, then...
;(Initial interaction)
: Serval: Tsk... Think, Serval, think...
: Serval: Hey (Trailblazer), if you were to write a song about the Express, what would you name it?
: The Night Train?
:: Serval: Hmm... not bad. Sounds like something one of those old bands would play at the beginning of their sets...
: The Hype Train?
:: Serval: Haha, love it, but I bet there's a lot of songs with that name. It sounds like something Randy would play — he's one of my favorite legendary guitarists. May he rest in peace...
: Highway Star!
:: Serval: Um... not quite my taste. "High speed" doesn't quite do the Express justice.
: Serval: Anyway, thanks for the suggestions! They all have something about them. I'll have to think about it...
----
;(Subsequent interactions)
: Serval: Still can't decide which name to go for...
===*sigh* I've had a lot...===
;(Idle quote)
:Serval: Argh, this writer's block...
;(Initial interaction)
: Serval: *sigh* I've had a lot of free time recently, so I was thinking about writing some new songs. Sadly, that's about as far as I got...
: Serval: But at least I have time to come visit you guys! Did you miss me?
: You have no idea.
:: Serval: Ha! I knew you'd say that. Here, I've got a gift for you...
:: Serval: ...aaaand where did I leave it?
: Meh.
:: Serval: For real? Hmph, never mind the GIFT I got for you then...
: You sure you're not just ignoring your writer's block?
:: Serval: You can't work your way out of writer's block! A short break is a good way of refreshing the mind.
:: Serval: Hmph! Didn't think you'd accuse me of goofing off... Never mind the GIFT I got for you then...
: Serval: Ha, just kidding — here you goooo~
: Serval: A gift from Belobog's number one rock star — you're not allowed to dislike it! Or at least don't tell me if that's the case...
;(Obtain )

;(Subsequent interactions)
: Serval: Hmm, I've been on the Express for a while but I still don't have any new songwriting inspiration. How strange...
: Serval: Could it be that... I've peaked already?
: Serval: (Trailblazer), how about you give me some ideas... and I get you some more gifts?
==Open-World==
After completing , Serval will appear in Neverwinter Workshop:
===Voice Lines===
;(Version 1)
:: "You're here! C'mon, let's gossip."
;(Version 2)
:: "Now, what am I gonna call this new song?"
===Dialogue===
;(First interaction)
:Serval: Hey, aren't you the outsider who helped me fix my stuff?
:Serval: What are you after today? Repairs, a chat, or just listening to music?
:Serval: Ah, so you've made up your mind about becoming my assistant, then? Welcome!
;(Continues to regular dialogue options)
----
;(Subsequent interactions)
: I just want to chat...
::Serval: Ahaha, just kidding. What's up?
:: What does the workshop actually do?
:::Serval: Just look at the decor — you can probably guess, right? It's a mechanical repairs shop, of course.
:::Serval: You can fix all kinds of machines?
:::Serval: Of course! There's nothing in Belobog that I can't fix.
:::Serval: Anything as small as a Geomarrow radiator to as large as a car engine — or even a Silvermane automaton — ah, but of course cars and automatons can't be dragged into this small room. I offer an outcall service for those.
:::Serval: As well as maintenance and renovations of everyday things, we also had a modding service — like fitting an external drill bit to a snowplow, or a ballistic computer to a toaster...
:::Serval: Put simply, the motto of our workshop is: Nothing is unfixable, as long as you can imagine it! Come see us if there's anything we can do, we'll give you a friendly price.
:: How's business normally?
:::Serval: Business? What's that?
:::Serval: Haha, just kidding. There's not much to say about our workshop's business. I make about as much as we spend each day.
:::Serval: But I don't plan on just working for a crust — life is short, so what's the point of just living to make money? If I've got the time, I'd rather be tinkering on my hobbies.
:::Serval: Ah, speaking of which... We sometimes put on rock gigs here at the workshop. Why don't you come check it out, if you like?
:::Serval: What else would you like to chat about?
:: I heard there are gigs here sometimes?
:::Serval: That's right. Who told you that? They must have great taste!
:::Serval: Not many people up in the Overworld consider our rock art a "gig"... Most people just call it "noise," haha.
::: What's your band called?
::::Serval: We're called Mechanical Fever — cool eh?
::: Who's in your band?
::::Serval: Ha, you've gotten straight to the point.
::::Serval: Guitar and vocals are handled by me, of course. The keyboardist is the youngest and cutest of us Landaus — Lynx.
::::Serval: On drums is Pela, one of the Silvermane Guards. She's always out on duty... These days, she should be out in the plaza watching over the kids.
::::Serval: As for the bassist, we don't have one...
::::Serval: And it's got something to do with Cocolia... I can't really say more than that.
::: When's the next gig?
::::Serval: Gig? Whenever we want~ If we want it, we do it — otherwise, we don't. That's rock music!
::: I understand.
::::Serval: It's pretty rare to have someone like you who's so interested in our band. What else would you like to chat about?
:::;(Returns to previous set of options)
:: That's all I have.
:::Serval: Cool, I'll be free to chat later whenever you want.
: Let's chat some other time.
::Serval: Alright, come back soon!

;(Subsequent interactions, after starting )
:Serval: Welcome to the Neverwinter Workshop...
:Serval: ...Huh? Aren't you that outsider who's wanted by the Supreme Guardian!? The guards are out hunting all over the place for you!
:Serval: I think you should stop strutting outside so brazenly, and keep your head down here in my workshop.
: I just want to chat...
::Serval: Chatting at a time like this... But that's okay with me. What would you like to chat about?
:;(Same dialogue as Version 1)
: Let's chat some other time.
::Serval: I can't protect you if you step out of the workshop, so please be utterly careful outside.
----
;(Subsequent interactions, after starting )
:Serval: Oh hey, it's the Trailblazer (Trailblazer). Welcome to the workshop!
:Serval: I'll hazard a guess that you didn't come looking for repairs... I'm not complaining. Don't get me wrong.
:Serval: Based on our friendship, you can just treat the workshop like your second home — come have a rest any time you're feeling tired.
: I just want to chat...
::Serval: Chatting at a time like this... But that's okay with me. What would you like to chat about?
:: What does the workshop actually do?
::;(Same as Version 1)
:: I heard there are gigs here sometimes?
::;(Same as Version 1)
:: That's all I have.
:::Serval: Cool, I'll be free to chat later whenever you want.
: Let's chat some other time.
::Serval: Alright. I'll be here any time if you want to chat later.
----
;(Included in subsequent interactions, upon completing )
: Looks like work is coming along well?
::Serval: Ah, when did you become such a caring ? It's nice that you'd express concern in my work.
::Serval: Honestly, this place suits me very well. All I'd ever fix back in the workshop were trivial things like watches and heaters. A big guy like this is something that I can really mull over for a long time.
::Serval: Plus, everyone is seriously counting on me now. I get so many people asking me things every day. It's like a crowd at a concert! It may not be rock'n'roll, but it's kind of cool.
:: Do you have any plans for when construction is complete?
:::Serval: When the giant robot is all fixed, this planet will be reborn, right? But I don't plan on sticking around here until then.
:::Serval: As soon as construction gets on track, I'll hand the reins over to Pela and find a place to enjoy myself.
:::Serval: I imagine by that time, I'll already be old-lady Serval with gray hair, hahaha~
:: You don't regret joining us?
:::Serval: Ah... Don't worry, my spirit can't be weighed down.
:::Serval: When the work on the ground is complete, I'll still be able to plan my own interstellar journey. Who knows, maybe by then you won't be carrying me, but advancing alongside me.
