## Dialogue

Previous: "Dreamwalking, Dreamtalking"
(*Talking to Joan Locke in Billabong Resort*)

 **Joan Locke:** What are these monsters? Where are the guests? The hosts? Where-
 **Hostess:** Welcome to the Billabongs at Wobbegong. My name is Maeve and I'll be your guide to the best luxury, food and entertainment Wallaru has to offer.
 **Joan Locke:** Yes, dear, I know. I founded the blasted-
 **Hostess:** Founded by Mr. Cane and associate-
 **Joan Locke:** Associate!
 **Hostess:** This resort is packed with amenities for the Frogs and Frogs-at-heart. Follow me to the back for a tour of our wonderful facilities.
 **Joan Locke:** No, I just need to know where- she's gone. Come, Wizard, she'll know where to find a Judge to explain what's happening here.
(*Talking to the Hostess further into Billabong Resort*)

 **Hostess:** Here, you'll find our unique Boomerang Range. It is undergoing a temporary pyrotechnic event. Everything is completely fine.
 **Joan Locke:** Madam, there are literally monsters standing out front. Do you know-
 **Hostess:** Did YOU know some of the water in Wallaru helps dreams come true? It can. One dip in these ponds can inspire art and invention.
 **Hostess:** Unfortunately, they are currently off-limits due to a minor security issue.
 **Joan Locke:** The monsters, I take it?
 **Hostess:** But let me show you to our main resort hotel where elegance is on demand.
 **Joan Locke:** Is she seriously leading us back out front?
(*Talking to the Hostess again at the front*)

 **Hostess:** You may have noticed the local fauna: Phantasmanian Devils we call the little rascals. Don't worry, they may look scary and ghostly...
 **Hostess:** ...And, yes, there have been malicious complaints from escapees about being swallowed whole, but they're harmless.
 **Joan Locke:** Escapees?
 **Hostess:** Now let me show you the luxurious-
 **Joan Locke:** Enough! Enough of this insipid pageantry. I am Joan Locke, your founder and employer. Where is Mr. Cane?
 **Hostess:** Ma'am, I'm afraid Ms. Locke ran into the forest to be eaten by Pingouins. This joke is in very poor taste. There's nothing funny about-
 **Hostess:** Oh no, no, nooooooooooooooo!
 **Joan Locke:** Eugh! One of those monsters swallowed her whole! Hurry, Wizard, there may yet be time to rescue her!
(*After defeating 2 Phantasmanian Devils*)

 **Rescued Guest (A):** That was disgusting. Hostess? No, I'm a guest. And I am not paying for this.
(*After defeating 2 more Phantasmanian Devils*)

 **Rescued Guest (B):** Can't believe I paid a million gold to be eaten by monsters.
(*After defeating 2 more Phantasmanian Devils again*)

 **Hostess:** Did you save me last? Of course you did. Everybody always saves me last. I need a rest.
(*Talking to the Hostess again near the entrance to the Resort*)

 **Hostess:** What? Yes, it was only three of us that got eaten. You're good. And I quit.
 **Joan Locke:** Quite understandable. Before you do, these creatures... what are they really?
 **Hostess:** They started popping out of the lagoons a while ago. We were told to ignore them and that anyone who was eaten should've been less tasty.
 **Joan Locke:** I see... the monsters came from here, not the Pink Lake? You mentioned those lagoons make dreams come true. They aren't real Dream Water, are they?
 **Hostess:** Between you and me... no. It's food coloring or dye or something to make them look dreamy. Seems like fraud to me, but that Mr. Cane's a piece of work.

## Trivia

* As of November 30, 2023, the Quest Goals are bugged and fighting 4 Phantasmanian Devils at a time (with 3 or more Wizards) leads to you skipping the dialogue with the second Rescued Guest entirely.
