## Lines of dialogue

### Main story

*"Hey, are you okay? You look kinda out of it. Ohhh, I know. You're the one Cres was talking about. You were found collapsed on the hill, right? Anyway I'm Van. This is Lethe Village. If you're looking for Cres, she's probably in her clinic."*

##### Where is her clinic?

*"Hey, I'm onto you. You want me to take you to the clinic, don't you?*

##### Can you show me where it is?

*"Oh you want me to take you?*

*Sorry, no can do. I may not look it, but I'm actually super busy right now! I'm right in the middle of a game of Princess and the Omen! And after this, I'm gonna play Conellu Catch with Vent and everyone. It's not hard to find, though. It's at the top of the hill in the square, you can't miss it. It's really easy to get there! Just follow this street and then climb the steps from the Village Square. Well, see ya later! I gotta get back to my game!"*

*"D-did it...land in the north square?"*

*"W-wait!"*

*"Are you serious!? You don't know Princess and the Omen? Whaaat! You're so behind the times!"*

*"Oh hey, Stumblebum!"*

##### What are you doing here?

*"Isn't it obvious? We're here to play!"*

##### How did you know I was here?

*"Oh, 'cause Cres told me!"*

*"CANDY!?"*

*"Forget Princess and the Omen! We're already at Bird's Eye Brae. Let's go to our secret hideout!"*

*"We built it aaages ago! Even before you came here, Stumblebum!"*

*"Well, Stumblebum is our junior, so we've got to be nice and show them around!"*

*"Well, we came to Bird's Eye Brae first. Doesn't that make us higher-ranking?"*

*"You're just bursting to see our secret hideout, aren't you Stumblebum?"*

*"You don't know what you're talking about! It's sooo super cool, you'll see!* *Next stop! The secret hideout!!! Follow me!"*

*"Check this out! Here is our secret hideout..."*

*"Monsters destroyed our secret hideout!"*

*"Oooh, this isn't good!"*

*"Stumblebum?"*

*"Yes! Thank you, Stumblebum! Avenge us! For the secret hideout!"*

*"You did it! Those monsters are toast!"*

*"I don't care who they are. Stumblebum! Get theeem!"*

*"You're so strong, Stumblebum."*

*"That's our treasure!"*

*"Thank you, Stumblebum! We owe you one!"*

*"Yikes!!! Cres!?"*

*"I know, Stumblebum was sooo cool! They took down those monsters like it was a piece of cake!"*

*"Oh... it is? Well, Ein! Thank you so much!"*

*"NOOO! Please, Cres!!! I'm begging you!"*

*"Wait, Cres! Ein was gonna give us some candy before we go home."*

*"Aww, shucks!"*

### Optional

*"Doesn't matter how many times we play. Princess and the Omen never gets boring!"*

*"If you're gonna be the hero, then I'll be the Omen! Firing my EYE BEAMS!!! PYOOOH!!!"*

*"I wanna play again tomorrow."*
