Tch... Another filthy poor... No, I won't give you any money.@
# Businessman
I don't care if you're struggling to get by. In this world, you've gotta put in some work to make it through.@
# Businessman
Besides, I've talked to enough of you hobos for one day. I'll be glad to take the Subway out of here.@
# Businessman
...Heh... That look on your face... You don't know about the Subway?@
# Businessman
Wow, I thought taking a ride on that thing was the dream of every peasant around here, what with the way my proles are always going on about it.@
# Businessman
Well, it's an underground transport system that goes all over the province... Not that that matters for a beegar like you, of course. You'll never be able to afford a trip! Ha!@

Now, if you'll excuse me, my train to Auburn arrives in a few minutes. I have important business there. Nothing for you to worry about. Toodles!@

Probably shouldn't leave the station when the train gets here soon.@

Alright... I'll stamp your hand to mark that you're allowed on the train. Give me a moment.@

Eheh... I must have had you all wrong. Let's, er, put aside our past grievances.@

Say, buddy, could you do your friend a favor? I've got a meeting in Auburn soon, I need to get on this train.@

What do you say you... Give me your space? Just tell the clerk over there that you'll sacrifice your spot for me.@

Oh, hey, stranger. Looking for a chat? Sure, it'll help kill some time, I guess.@
# Malic
The name's Malic, nice to meet you. I'm guessing you'll be taking the train to the same place as me? To Espren?@
# Malic
I'm pretty excited about it. Around these parts, people never really get the opportunity to travel the Queen's Line. Too expensive for us, typically.@
# Malic
It's always been a dream of mine to see what other parts of Fruma are like, though, so I... well, I saved up for a long time.@
# Malic
Don't really know what the Auburn Forest'll be like... I can't wait to find out. If it's anything like its Sovereign, it should be pretty great.@
# Malic
Heh. Enough yammering from me, though. You probably have your own stuff you wanna talk about, right? (After Malic's introduction)@
# Malic
Anything else you wanna talk about? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Malic
Hey again! Anything to say? (Subsequent conversations with Malic)@
# Malic
Enough of this, though, or I'll get too excited. Anything else you wanna talk about? (After asking about the Auburn Forest)@

Sigh. Anything else you wanna talk about? (After asking about Soda)@

Oh, shoot. The train's here. I'll catch you later, I guess?@

# Maddison
Oh, hi! Are you from around here? My name's Maddison, I'm a tourist from Aelumia.@
# Maddison
I've been travelling the Queen's Line all around Fruma to see what the rest of the province is like! It's been a fun time so far! ...Well, mostly...@
# Maddison
This region has been... It's not quite what I expected. There's quite a unique culture here, though! Check out the cool wall art! You never see that back home!@
# Maddison
I'm really looking forward to seeing what makes Espren different- that's where I'm headed next. So far, everywhere has been really unique!@
# Maddison
I'm just sad I'll miss their festival... The one here went... bad.@
# Maddison
...Anyway, is there anything you'd like to talk about? (After Maddison's introduction)@
# Maddison
...Anything else you'd like to discuss? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Maddison
Hi again! Want to talk? (Subsequent conversations with Maddison)@
# Maddison
Oh, well... Anything else you'd like to discuss?(After asking about Maddison's trip)@
# Maddison
Roughworks? Oh, right, that's what the people here call it. To me, it's the Industrial District.@
# Maddison
I always imagined this place being a bit... cleaner. Maybe the people here are just used to it being messy, though?@
# Maddison
A lot of the people I tried talking to were, well, not very nice. They didn't seem to like tourists all that much...@
# Maddison
Overall, this... has probably been the low point of my trip. I think it's just not for me, really. But there were some parts I liked!@
# Maddison
I already mentioned the pretty murals, but there was a bunch of other cool stuff, too. Did you know the people here fight to resolve disputes?@
# Maddison
...Or, wait. You would, since you're from here, right? Or... no, you're dressed pretty different. Where are you from?@
# Maddison
...I guess I shouldn't pry. Sorry.@
# Maddison
Aelumia Citadel's beautiful. I've lived there my whole life, it's my home, it's precious to me.@
# Maddison
It's just... When you've lived somewhere for that long, it starts to feel... small. Samey. Especially when you're boxed in by those towering city walls.@
# Maddison
Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to live in the Queen's royal city, but... I needed something new. A change of pace. That's why I decided to go on this trip!@
# Maddison
I'm lucky enough to be the daughter of one of the University's best-paid professors, so I was able to afford such a privilege. Those tickets aren't cheap...@
# Maddison
...Anyway, sorry, that was a bit of a tangent. Overall, Aelumia's great if you enjoy the city life, it just... gets boring, eventually.@
# Maddison
So far, the trip's been pretty great! It's been really refreshing to see how different each region of Fruma is!@
# Maddison
I've only been to the Highlands and here, though. Both have been enlightening, in their own ways.@
# Maddison
The Highlands may be the most beautiful place I've ever seen... Not that that's saying much. The landscapes were incredible, and oh, the flowers!@
# Maddison
This place? It's... I guess I've come to learn that some people live by different standards to me, which is... interesting.@
# Maddison
I'm a little sad the trip's coming to an end after the next stop... Fruma is so big, yet so small, isn't it?@
# Maddison
I hear people used to live in the Mistwoods and the Penitence District, but they were moved out. I wish I could go back in time and experience their culture, too.@
# Maddison
I think this might be the stop I'm most excited for!@
# Maddison
My dad teaches biology, and he's been all over the place studying the province's wildlife. His travels honestly inspired me to go on this journey.@
# Maddison
Growing up, he told me stories of his trips... Auburn Forest was always the place that stood out the most, of the ones he described.@
# Maddison
It sounds like nothing you'd ever see anywhere else. Golden leaves, beautiful traditional architecture, and the kindest people...@
# Maddison
Needless to say, I've dreamed of going there my whole life. Of course, I also dreamed of going everywhere else, too. But Auburn most of all.@
# Maddison
Ah, them. I've not really spoken to either.@
# Maddison
I tried talking to the one with the funny shirt, but they didn't seem much for conversation.@
# Maddison
The other guy? He seems to be from around here, and, well...@
# Maddison
...I don't have anything against the people of this District, but their attitudes differ from mine, and...@
# Maddison
...I'm just a little tired of being berated by them for coming here, okay?@

...What. What do you want.@

You want to talk? Sigh, fine. Fine, I guess.@
# Flinn
I'm Flinn.@
# Flinn
Ugh. Well, see, I'm from Auburn Forest. I... don't like it there. So I wanted to see what the Industrial District was like.@
# Flinn
Having been here yourself, I'm sure you understand well how that turned out. Now, I'm heading home.@
# Flinn
Really, at this point, I don't know if anywhere in this province is worth seeing. It must all be like this.@
# Flinn
...But enough about me. What do you want to say? (After Flinn's introduction)@
# Flinn
Anything else? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Flinn
What? (Subsequent conversations with Flinn)@
# Flinn
Sorry about that, I got... Madder, than expected... Anything else you'd like to discuss? (After asking about the Auburn Forest)@
# Flinn
I chose this place because it was the cheapest ticket... I had to exchange so many materials for those weird emeralds they use here.@
# Flinn
I had high expectations, thought seeing another part of the province might restore my hopes... It didn't.@
# Flinn
I hoped, at least, that the Festival here would be cool, and instead, it was a complete disaster. On top of that, I missed the one back home...@
# Flinn
I'm just heading home. I guess I'll have to just... learn to like Auburn. Ugh...@
# Flinn
This shirt? Ugh... I forgot about this stupid shirt.@
# Flinn
On the way here, some guy came up to me and begged on his knees for me to buy his shirt. It was hard to refuse... I felt bad...@
# Flinn
I guess "TC" stands for Timasca City. For the record, I do NOT love Timasca City.@
# Flinn
In fact, this shirt doesn't even hold any value to me as a souvenier. I don't want to remember this trip.@
# Flinn
I'm going to have to destroy it, or perhaps trade it for something. I never want to see it again.@
# Flinn
I just... Sigh.@
# Flinn
It feels like we're living in squalor for no reason! You always hear these wonderful stories about other regions, like that the Highlands have beautiful, huge lakes.@
# Flinn
If that's even true, why can't we get some of that water? Why must we put up with the pathetic trickle we get from the dam?@
# Flinn
And yet, everyone back home is just so... Okay??? With it??? They think the government couldn't wrong them. They build shrines to the Queen in their homes!@
# Flinn
It's just so... Frustrating!!! Why can't they see things the way I do??? The region itself is mostly fine, it's the people I can't stand!@
# Flinn
I don't even believe those stories anymore though... I think everywhere is just awful in its own way.@
# Flinn
We were always sold this idea of the Industrial District as this beautiful place where proud workers labored for the Queen amidst beautiful crop fields... You've seen it, haven't you?@
# Flinn
I bet everywhere is just as bad. I just don't know what to think of anything anymore. It all feels like a lie. But maybe I'm just asking for too much, I don't know...@
# Flinn
Other people? The girl tried talking to me, but she left me alone when she realized I didn't want to talk.@
# Flinn
And that other guy? I didn't notice him until just now.@
# Flinn
...Train's here. Stop talking to me, please...@
# NOTE
Yes@
# ???
Make way!!!@
# ???
Step aside, citizens. We're here on important business.@
# Malic
The general of the Constables Division..? I wonder what's going on...@
# ???
Keep your nose out of our matters, citizen. Our activities will have no impact on your trip.@
# ???
Hey! What's the holdup? All aboard! Come on!@
# ???
Hello passenger! I hope that the subway experience has been to your liking.@
# Telati
I am Telati, the attendant for your journey today. I am sorry I did not say hello when verifying your stamp, I was a little, uh, shocked by how many people were taking the train today.@
# Telati
We don't get passengers often, to be honest with you, so to have even this many... That was a surprise. Not to mention General Levi being here, too.@
# Telati
Anyway, we should be arriving in Espren in an hour or two. Until then, feel free to talk with your fellow passengers, or take a nap.@
# Telati
I hope you have a good trip! And, if there's any issues, do not be afraid to speak with me.@
# Telati
Oh, hello there, passenger. Is something the matter?@
# Telati
...You just want to chat? You know what, sure, it could be a nice break from my busywork.@
# Telati
As I told you before, my name's Telati. I'm... the only staffer on the train today. Besides the driver, Cusef, but he's busy, well, driving.@
# Telati
That means I'm the only person here to attend our many passengers today. Again, we don't usually get this many.@
# Telati
It's... It's okay though. Everyone seems fairly content. Besides that Cemor guy, at least.@
# Telati
Enough about that though. What would you like to talk about? (After Telati's introduction)@
# Telati
...Anything else to say? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Telati
Anything wrong? Or do you just want to chat? (Subsequent conversations with Telati)@
# Telati
...It's okay. I can handle it... Anything else to say? (After asking about the Other staff)@
# Telati
...Whatever... Anything else to say? (After asking about Cemor)@
# Telati
...Perhaps I shouldn't have let that slip... Uhm... Anything else to say...? (After asking about his Thoughts on the train)@
# Telati
There aren't many of us, really. Each train usually has only 3 staffers- a driver and 2 attendants.@
# Telati
The team for this particular train is Cusef the driver, plus Zathie and I.@
# Telati
This is typically enough, as the trains aren't very busy. Frankly, I don't know why they bother having this many carriages.@
# Telati
It's usually only Aelumians and Highlanders who can afford trips, and, well... Most of those guys don't seem interested in seeing other regions.@
# Telati
This time of year is actually the exception, since the Festivals are on. But, having spoken to a few passengers, none seem to be travelling for that at all.@
# Telati
For today's trip to have so many people - and such a diverse set too - is an anomaly. It's unfortunate timing, too, since Zathie's on break.@
# Telati
We were dealing with all the expected extra traffic from the Auburn Festival being on, and she burnt herself preparing a meal, so she got a couple days off.@
# Telati
I thought it'd be fine since the Auburn Festival's wrapped up, but... I guess there's still a lot of interest in going there?@
# Telati
Ah, my home. It may surprise you, but I'm from the Roughw- er- Industrial District.@
# Telati
I'm lucky to have a job such as this, living where I do. The conditions aboard the train are heavenly compared to where my neighbors work.@
# Telati
...I do wonder why they can't share this quality of life. I suppose there must be a reason for it; I trust Her Majesty's judgement.@
# Telati
Ah, him. Yes, he's the Highlander sat in the dining carriage.@
# Telati
He seems... needy. No- maybe that's just selfish of me to say.@
# Telati
He keeps asking me to prepare him some specific meal, and... listen. The customer is always right, and all, but...@
# Telati
I'm not the chef on this train. That's Zathie. I'm scared of messing up the recipe, and also just generally dislike cooking.@
# Telati
So... I'm hanging out here as far away from him as possible, hoping he just... forgets about it.@
# Telati
Sigh... Maybe that's immoral of me, I don't know.@
# Telati
The train's like a second home to me. Maybe more of a home than my real home...@
# Telati
It's the most comfortable place I've ever been. I love it here.@
# Telati
Getting to travel all over Fruma for free is such a privilege, too, I've seen some beautiful stations...@
# Telati
Yes, just stations. They never let me go beyond. But there's some gorgeous sights to see from there alone up in Hyloch or at Fort Torann.@
# Telati
...I've only been to Fort Torann a couple of times. It's military-only and they typically use their own trains to travel there...@
# Telati
...But sometimes, there are urgent matters that require the use of civilian trains. Today seems to be one such instance of this.@
# Telati
Oh! I'm so sorry! I must've forgotten to give you that.@
# Telati
I- I was in such a hurry to accomodate everyone, it must have slipped my mind... I sincerely apologize.@
# Telati
Here it is.@
# Telati
Oh, alright then. Have a good trip!@
# ???
I TOLD you, idiot, ya need to wear Aelumia purple! Since we're not assigned to the Roughworks anymore!@
# ???
Lighten up, Maury. At least I used the right colour for my sword's hilt.@
# Maury
NO, Harvin, that is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. We're already on thin ice after the sewage incident.@
# Maury
Bein' assigned to the General is a BIG DEAL! We can't screw it up, or we're OUT.@
# Harvin
I still think the sewage incident was way overblown, but whatever.@
# Maury
I agree, but that's not the p- Oh, hey there, citizen.@
# Harvin
Drop the act, Maury. They were there for like half the argument.@
# Maury
WHAT? Why didn't ya tell me???@
# Harvin
Well, I though you knew.@
# Maury
Ech... Whatever. You. Whaddaya ya want. You wanna chat? Got a problem to report? What's goin' on. (After Harvin and Maury's introduction)@

Got anythin' else you wanna say? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Maury
Ugh, what is it now? (Subsequent conversations with Harvin and Maury)@
# Maury

Me too, bud, me too... Ah, right. You. Anythin' else to say? (After asking about Any stories)@

Talk about somethin' else instead. (After asking about the Sewage incident)@

ZIPPIT!@
# Harvin
Every division of the Guard has a General leading it; she's ours.@
# Maury
She's scary, I tell ya.@
# Maury
We were just mindin' our business, roughin' up some... miscreants, and then she comes along an' drags us into bein' her guards for this whole shabang.@
# Maury
...Between you an' us... I don't think she woulda made us come along had she not been in a hurry...@
# Harvin
Yeah, more likely, she would have just fired us on the spot.@
# Maury
SHHH. What if she overhears? Don't give 'er any ideas.@
# Maury
Stories? What am I, yer mother at bedtime? Why would I tell you sto-@
# Harvin
We could tell them about the time we were assigned to Hyloch!@
# Maury
Ohhh, yeah! I love that story. Great thinkin', Harvin.@
# Maury
So basically, there's this guy who comes up to us, an' he's all like "ooh i'm from house blahblah you must respect me..."@
# Maury
Us, bein' from the Roughworks, don' give a damn about any 'a that. So he gets mad when we laugh in 'is face.@
# Maury
He throws a fit, and...@
# Harvin
...accidentally knocks over a stall and gets himself totally covered in dyes!@
# Maury
YEAH, haha, his fancy clothes were ruined! It was awesome.@
# Maury
Sadly, I think he actually had some influence, cause we've not been assigned to Hyloch since...@
# Harvin
Man, the Highlands were beautiful, wish I could see them again.@
# Maury
Nope.@
# Harvin
The sewage incident is not to be spoken of.@
# Maury
We are NOT tellin' you about that, kid.@
# Maury
Then go away, kid. We have important things to do.@
# Harvin
Uh, no we don't?@
# Maury
SHUT IT, HARVIN!@
# Flinn
...You again? Was it not clear enough that I wanted to be left alone?@
# Flinn
...Fine. We can talk more.@
# Flinn
Having been there yourself, I'm sure you understand well how that turned out. Now, I'm heading home.@
# Flinn
Really, at this point, I don't know if anywhere in this province is worth seeing. It must all be like that.@
# Flinn
...But enough about me. What do you want to say?@
# Flinn
What do you want to say? (After initial dialogue)@
# Flinn
Ugh... Anything else? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Flinn
...I have a lot of thinking to do, basically. It would be easier to do that if you left me alone... (After asking about the Military)@
# Flinn
It's the same experience as before, just... different.@
# Flinn
The first time, I was amazed... It's so comfortable and nice... I was so excited to see what awaited me in Timasca...@
# Flinn
Now? It all just feels like a facade. I can't enjoy it the same way.@
# Flinn
Oh, yeah, they're here, I guess.@
# Flinn
I don't really care, as long as they don't find some way to make my trip even worse...@
# Flinn
They're agents of the Queen, and I don't really know what to think of that anymore. I can't tell if she hoards all the wealth for herself, or if she tells us everything's good just to make us happy.@
# Malic
Oh, hey again, friend. Nice to see ya!@
# Malic
The train's pretty nice, isn't it? If a bit... empty.@
# Malic
I do wonder what was going on with the military presence... It's not every day that you see a General, after all.@
# ???
Oh, hey, stranger. Looking for a chat? Sure, it'll help kill some time on the ride, I guess.@
# Malic
The name's Malic, nice to meet you. I'm guessing you'll be going to the same stop as me? To Espren?@
# Malic
I'm pretty excited about it. In the Roughworks, people never really get the opportunity to travel the Queen's Line. Too expensive for us, typically.@
# Malic
Heh. Enough yammering from me, though. You probably have your own stuff you wanna talk about, right?@
# Malic
...Anyway, what do you want to talk about? (After initial dialogue)@
# Malic
...Let's move on. (After asking about the Train)@
# Malic
It's, uh, a lot different to the trains back home. Nicer.@
# Malic
See, I commute to work on the Industrial Sector Loop, for which I am fortunate enough to have a free pass.@
# Malic
The trains there are... not like this. The seats are uncomfortable, it's usually packed with people, and it's never as clean.@
# Malic
Why... Why are ours different? Why can't this quality be afforded to us..?@
# Malic
I'm very curious about their "important matters," it's highly unusual for them to travel with this amount of urgency.@
# Malic
Typically, the military travel on their own trains, for safety and security. But for someone so important- the General of the Constables Division- to use a civilian train...@
# Malic
...the Constables Division... I'm... not fond of them, to be honest. I'm sure you've seen, but they patrol all over the Roughworks, and they're just... such bullies.@
# Malic
They're always going around, roughing up people for not paying their rent, or stepping even slightly out of line...@
# Malic
I know the General said her activities wouldn't impact the trip, but... I'm not convinced. I hope it'll be okay.@
# Malic
I've not spoken to anyone else on the train, but maybe I should. Could hear some interesting things about their regions.@
# Malic
Besides the attendant, Telati, I seem to be the only Roughworker here. To be expected, of course, since none of us can usually afford such a privilege.@
# Malic
Hm. I'll think about socializing in a little bit. But for now, I'm pretty comfortable, honestly.@
# ???
Oh, hello. Looking for a conversation to pass some time? Sure thing.@
# Demma
My name is Demma, and I'm a student from the Aelumia University.@
# Demma
I'm traveling to Auburn for my study project... I can't wait!@
# Demma
See, I'm from the Blossom House. We study biology, and one of the highlights of the course is getting to travel and do fieldwork.@
# Demma
I'm conducting a study of Fruma's snails- they've always fascinated me... They come in so many different shapes and sizes...@
# Demma
Auburn forest has some of the greatest... I can't wait to see a Gigastropod in person!@
# Demma
Goodness, I must stop myself before I bore you with one of my rants. I do that all too often. What do you actually want to talk about? (After Demma's introduction)@
# Demma
Got more to talk about? (Subsequent conversations with Demma)@
# Demma
...Let's move on. Anything else to discuss? (After asking about the University)@
# Demma
...Ah, sorry, I'm trailing off into tangents. Let's change topics. (After asking about the Auburn Forest)@
# Demma
Gah! I need to stop going into tangents. Sorry. Let's change topics. (After asking about Biology)@
# Demma
...Let's just... Move on to another subject. (After asking about Snails)@
# Demma
Have you not heard of it? It's the most prestigious educational institution in the province!@
# Demma
For those who like learning, it's the best place in the world to be... We've got a huge library with books on just about any topic you can think of!@
# Demma
You can only really study one set of topics at a time though, sadly, unless you're super dedicated.@
# Demma
It's split into 4 different houses- Order, Crystal, Blossom, and Star- each with their own handful of subjects. I'm in Blossom, as previously stated.@
# Demma
I chose Blossom for the biology, specifically. We also study history and fashion, but I care less about those.@
# Demma
Almost no-one has ever taken two courses at once. The only exception I can think of is Sovereign Majin, who studied in Order and Star.@
# Demma
He really can back up his big talk, huh...@
# Demma
Honestly, I could care less about the culture there... It's cool and all, and learning the history of it has been fun, but...@
# Demma
The fauna is what I'm really interested in seeing! There's so many fascinating creatures in the region!@
# Demma
Snails aside, I've read so many interesting things about the region's wildlife. Elk that mimic trees, Beetles that hide amongst leaves, even fox-sized bats!@
# Demma
It's been a joy reading about it, but it'll be even more amazing to see in person!@
# Demma
You know, I'd love to go on a field study to the Mistwoods too, someday. My teacher, Professor Pestal, has been there a couple times.@
# Demma
Apparently, it's so dangerous in there that you need to be constantly guarded by military professionals... But it would be so cool! I'd love to see a Kivaraptor in person!@
# Demma
From a young age, I've always loved animals. so joining Blossom House at the university just made sense.@
# Demma
I grew up in Aelumia Citadel, so I've not seen much wildlife besides the limited amount that live in the city, plus some from travelling zoos.@
# Demma
It's been wonderful having the opportunity to go out and see more of it in person. We already did a field study in the Highlands, which was amazing.@
# Demma
Professor Pestal - my teacher - has been all over the place studying the province's fauna. I'd love to be like him someday.@
# Demma
Hey... On that note, see that girl sat over there? That's actually his daughter, Maddison. It's crazy running into her here.@

Oh, do NOT get me started on snails. I've always loved those little guys. They're so cute, and so interesting!@
# NOTE
Demma's dialogue will progress extremely quickly.@
# Demma
Did you know that they're not bugs as commonly ascribed, but rather, more related to aquatic creatures?@
# Demma
It's really fascinating! They're also so different to creatures as we tend to understand them.@

They're hermaphrodites, which means that any two snails can breed! And, they-@

Actually, maybe that's not an appropriate topic of conversation. Well, okay, I can think of something else...@
# Demma
Did you know they have thousands of little teeth? They also can't hear!@
# Demma
Yet, despite these differences, they like, understand us! They show signs of enjoying human contact!@
# Demma
There's also so many different species of snail, like the one I'm studying, the Gigastropod!!!@
# Demma
Did you know that Gigastropod shells are tougher than concrete? You can stand on them and the creature will be fine!@
# Demma
...Though, I don't advise doing that- it's probably really scary for the poor snail.@
# Demma
Apparently, back in the horrible Great Auburn Flood - you know - the one that kickstarted the New Age...@
# Demma
...People survived by clinging onto the Gigastropods, because despite their hardy shells, they're also buoyant!@
# Demma
Speaking of the dam, isn't it fascinating that Gigastropods are so closely related to the Murex Mollusc despite the sheer cliff between them?@
# Demma
Don't stand on Murex Molluscs though, they're toxic! Plus, their shells aren't as strong.@
# Demma
Did you know that their slime-@
# NOTE
Demma's dialogue stops progressing automatically.@
# Demma
OH, GOODNESS! I'm so sorry! I... I got carried away.@
# Demma
I've got a really bad habit of just... infodumping. I'm so sorry.@
# Demma
Oh, alright then.@
# Maddison
It's you again! Hi!@
# Maddison
Gosh, we're going to arrive in Espren soon... It's quite exciting, isn't it?@
# Maddison
I do wonder what was going on with the military activity back in the station... It was cool to see, but...@
# Maddison
I just hope it doesn't ruin our trip, somehow...@
# Maddison
...Anyway, is there anything you'd like to talk about? (After initial dialogue)@
# Maddison
The train's really cool to ride around on. The spectacle of it hasn't worn off on me, and this is my third time experiencing it!@
# Maddison
In this area, I'm noticing a bunch of murals in the tunnels... It's fun to watch them, I just wish I could catch the details better.@
# Maddison
Can you imagine how beautiful it would be if the train was on the surface instead of underground? You'd get some amazing views of the province, I bet...@
# Maddison
I do wonder why the train only runs underground. Safety, maybe?@
# Maddison
Having grown up in Aelumia, I'm pretty familiar with the Guard's upper ranks. There's military parades all the time, you know!@
# Maddison
That scary lady we saw back there? That was General Levi, the leader of the Constables Division.@
# Maddison
She took on the role a few years ago, when the previous General, General Daimyo, stepped down. She's pretty cool, it was a nice surprise seeing her here!@
# Maddison
I do wonder what calls for such urgency though... Usually, she has her Commanders handle most things. For her to need to handle something personally, and on a civilian train...@
# Maddison
...Well, she did ask that we stay out of it, so I guess I shouldn't get too curious.@
# Maddison
I talked to a few people when I first boarded, but now I'm just going to relax. I'll probably talk to more people later when I get bored.@
# Maddison
The first person I tried talking to was the attendant, Telati, but he seemed... stressed, so I just let him be.@
# Maddison
Then... See her over there? The girl with the glasses? That's Demma, one of my dad's students. We spoke for a bit, it was nice to see her!@
# Maddison
Lastly, I tried speaking to the posh guy in the canteen, but... he said he was at a good part in his book, so I just left him alone.@
# Cemor
Sigh, what is it? You want to talk? To me?@
# Cemor
...Fine. I suppose I can indulge. But you had better leave me to read my book in peace when you're done.@
# Cemor
I am Cemor, of House Efelu, a noble house of small repute, though soon it shall surely rise.@
# Cemor
I'm travelling from my home, the Highlands, to Auburn. Why? Well, I booked a ticket to go to the Festival of the Queen, but... for the wrong date.@
# Cemor
I didn't want that money to go to waste, so I'm going to go and visit Espren anyway. There's probably some festival left to experience.@
# Cemor
But enough about little old me. What do you want to talk about? (After Cemor's introduction)@
# Cemor
What is it now? (Subsequent conversations with Cemor)@
# Cemor
But let us move on from that. What else have you to discuss? (After asking about the Book)@
# Cemor
Let us move on. What else would you like to speak about? (After asking about the Auburn Forest)@
# Cemor
Moving on. What else is there to speak of? (After asking about the Highlands)@
# Cemor
...Anywho. Anything else? (After asking about the Train)@
# Cemor
Ah, yes. The book. It's very good, I'm glad I chose to bring it with me.@
# Cemor
It's called "The Long-Winded and Painful Death of Greenie S. Sweenville," which, I hope, speaks for itself.@
# Cemor
One of the members of my book club back in Hyloch recommended it to me. I'm glad they did- it's a beautiful story.@
# Cemor
It's a shame... The Auburn Festival is usually quite good. A few of us Highlanders go down to Auburn to see it.@
# Cemor
They have games, beautiful cuisine, and a band... Who knew Auburn could put on such a wonderful show.@
# Cemor
I think it's that Sovereign Zhiraok- I hear he busies himself trying to atone for his family's failures. I'd feel bad, if not for him being a Nasin.@
# Cemor
Our own festival is quite a sight to see, too. I'd recommend visiting, but they make those tickets too expensive for the lower regions, don't they?@
# Cemor
...Unfortunate.@
# Cemor
Ah, the Highlands. Gorgeous place, perhaps the real crown jewel of Fruma.@
# Cemor
I question why the Queen doesn't come and live amongst us. Perhaps she fears the people, hence her home being a fortress.@
# Cemor
Our Sovereign, Majin... He spends far too much of his time trying to outcompete that Nasin, as would a Thalas.@
# Cemor
He should keep his sights on his own region... The Nasins are already disgraced; what does he have to prove?@
# Cemor
It's... alright, I suppose. I've had worse train rides.@
# Cemor
I've also had better train rides, though... Usually, there is another caterer.@
# Cemor
We'll see how the one caterer does preparing my meal. It's my favourite, whole roast Grookiva, and that's not particularly hard to prepare, so...@
# Cemor
Ugh. Then leave me to my book in peace, please.@

...Oh, Harvin, GODDAMNIT HARVIN... We're NOT gettin' let off the hook for this one! We're SCREWED.@

# Maury
...Er. No I don't.@
# Harvin
...Oh, I thought you did.@
# Maury
This is YOUR fault, ya idiot! Where the hell were YOU when I was takin' a nap?@
# Harvin
Yeah? What were YOU doing napping on the job? What else was I supposed to do when I needed the bathroom?@
# Maury
Ach... What're we gonna do...@
# Maury
Ah! ...Maybe..!@
# Maury
If we catch the perpetrator, we'll be... redeemed! Yeah!@
# Harvin
Good idea, but how the hell're we gonna catch them? That sounds... hard.@
# Harvin
...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?@
# Maury
...Yeah.@
# Maury
Ye're under arrest for the murder of General Levi, punk!@
# Harvin
Oh, but you did!@
# Maury
Evidence? Heh, They'll believe it - ye're suspicious-lookin', and have some oddd tools on yer person. Don't think we haven't seen 'em.@
# Harvin
Yeah, what region are you from, anyway? The Secret Mistwoods Civilization? Ha! NOBODY goes around dressed like you.@
# Malic
Hey! You can't just accuse them without evidence! That's not fair!@
# Maury
Do ya wanna be put down as an accomplice in the murder? Shut yer trap!@
# Malic
But- but they were asleep the entire time! I saw it!@
# Maury
...Egh... Fine... Tell ya what. New idea.@
# Maury
You n' I... We're gonna play a little game.@
# Maury
If you can prove yer innocence before the train reaches the station... Ye're free to go. Otherwise? We go with Plan A.@
# Maury
All of you, out. This is private business. Get back to yer seats.@
# Maury
Alright. Uhh. The best way to prove that ye're innocent would probably be to figure out who actually did it.@
# Maury
If yer gonna be playin' detective, you're gonna want somewhere to jot yer findings, right? Where are we gonna get ya somethin' like that...@
# Harvin
Don't worry, Maury, I have just the thing!@
# NOTE
[+1 Harvin's Notebook]@
# Maury
Yer notebook? The one you were supposed ta use for documentin' suspicious activity?@
# Harvin
Yeah, I never bothered with it.@
# Maury
...Me neither.@

Uh. Anyway. You. Yeah. A good place to start yer investigation would be the scene of the crime, probably.@

# Maury
Go on, inspect the body.@

Hm... Alright.@
# NOTE
[New "Evidence" Gained]@
# Maury
Interestin' evidence... this seems highly premeditated, if ya ask me...@
# Maury
Well, anyway, that ain't for us ta worry about. You're gonna figure out who did this.@
# Maury
Ya should go around an' talk to yer fellow passengers, see if they got any dirt. Ya might also spot some physical evidence along the way...@
# Harvin
Hey, Maury... How are we gonna stop them from just accusing someone random? There would be no point to any of this, and we'd might as well just arrest them instead...@
# Maury
Hmm... That's a good point...@
# Maury
Ye're gonna have to find some compelling pieces of evidence, I guess. We'll say 3.@
# Maury
Once ya have 3 pieces of strong evidence, come back ta us and make yer accusation.@
# Telati
Oh, it's you again. You... Those guards were wrong, right? ...Would they accuse someone randomly..?@
# Telati
Well... I guess those guards are having you hunt for who else could've done it, so I suppose it is my duty as a citizen to assist.@
# Telati
Besides, taking questions from you might help me not think about certain things. Like that I'm going to have to clean up that body later.@
# Telati
Sigh. I'm stressed, alright?@
# Telati
Oh, you're the one from the murder scene, aren't you? The one those guards accused?@
# Telati
...You didn't actually do it, right? ...Would guards accuse someone randomly..?@
# Telati
As I told you back when you boarded, my name's Telati. I'm... the only staffer on the train today. Besides the driver, Cusef, but he's busy, well, driving.@
# Telati
That means I'm the only person here to attend our many passengers today. And... The only person here to deal with this horrible crisis. To clean up the mess.@
# Telati
It's... It's... Sigh. I'm stressed, alright?@
# Telati
...What questions do you have?@
# Telati
...What questions do you have? (After initial conversation)@
# Telati
Anything wrong? Or do you have more questions? (Subsequent conversations with Telati)@
# Telati
Any more questions? (After asking about what Telati saw before the murder)@
# Telati
Anything else to say...? (After choosing any purple dialogue option)@
# Telati
Ah, of course. Staffing the train, I've seen a lot today. Let me recount.@
# Telati
Well, for starters... I was loitering in this carriage, just trying to avoid Cemor. I... didn't want to make his meal.@
# Telati
Yes, it was wrong of me. I ought to apologise to him... Anyway, he showed up here to go to the bathroom, so I quickly left before he could talk to me.@
# Telati
I headed down to the passenger carriages and spoke to everyone I saw. I was a little stressed, so I don't remember the specifics.@
# Telati
Well, not everyone, I suppose. You were asleep. Malic and I had a chuckle about it.@
# Telati
I also didn't speak to the guards... One was asleep in the same carriage as you, and the other started walking towards the back carriage when I came by.@
# Telati
I made my way back to the back and encountered Demma and Cemor on the way back to their seats. I made sure to dash by Cemor.@
# Telati
I was going back to loitering when suddenly, the purple guard came barging in shouting for his compatriot, who was in the bathroom.@
# Telati
Concerned, I followed the two of them, to find that they has found Levi's corpse. Before I could ask questions, they were off running through the train yelling.@
# Telati
That's the whole story.@
# Telati
Sure, I do have a master key for all rooms I can lend you. Let me find it...@
# Telati
...W-Whuh? Where is it? I always keep it somewhere in my pocket! Perhaps I dropped it somewhere?@
# Telati
Oh no... Maybe the killer stole it! Maybe that's how they got into the room!@
# Telati
...Oh, no no no no... It can't be my fault... It can't...@
# Telati
Please, you must find that key. It must be on the train somewhere.@
# Telati
Wait, You did? But I have it right h-@
# Telati
...W-Whuh? I guess I must have dropped it at some point.@
# Telati
Feel free to use it as needed for your investigation... You're free to enter the janitor's closet.@
# Telati
Oh, thank goodness you found it. Thank you so much.@
# Telati
Feel free to use it anywhere you need. You may even enter the janitor's closet, if you'd like.@
# Telati
A book? In the closet? Hm, I'm not much of a reader, so I doubt it was mine...@
# Telati
...It was used to hide the knife, you say? That's... worrying.@
# Telati
Perhaps the murderer used the closet as something of a staging ground for their attack...@
# Telati
Oh, no, did he really not forget? Damnit. Damnit damnit damnit.@
# Telati
...Listen. I'm- I'm really quite stressed, alright? I didn't think I'd be able to make that recipe before, let alone now.@
# Telati
I'm... I'm so sorry to ask you this, but... Could you please make the meal for him? He wanted whole roast Grookiva.@
# Telati
My absent colleagu, Zathie, left a recipe book that you can use. I'm sure you can follow it better than I ever could.@
# Telati
I give you my full permission to enter the kitchen for this task, it's in the canteen carriage. Thank you for this.@
# Maury
Ugh, what is it now? (Initial conversations with Harvin and Maury)@
# Maury
None of it matters now, though. Anythin' else? (After asking about What were you doing on the train)@
# Maury
Sorry, kid. Anythin' else to ask? (After asking about General Levi)@
# Maury
Uh... Anythin' else ta say? (After asking about Where were you during the murder)@
# Maury
's'all we got, though. Any other questions? (After asking about the Passengers)@
# Harvin
Anyway, Got any questions that'll actually help ya with the case? (After asking about the Deraj)@
# Maury
...anythin' else to say before ya get back to it? (After asking to make an accusation)@
# Maury
Well, it was supposed to be a secret, until this dope let it slip. I s'pose we can just say it now, though.@
# Maury
We were travellin' to Fort Torann, to investigate some sort of incident.@
# Harvin
Apparently, someone got in and killed all the soldiers, plus Commander Lilles... Serious stuff.@
# Maury
She was called there because a lot of the people killed were Constables. That, and Sovereign Zhiraok was apparently desperate for some extra hands.@
# Maury
Must be bad, if even he needs to ask for some help...@
# Harvin
Tch, you think we studied this stuff? We don't know much about her.@
# Maury
Yeah, all we knew was that she was our highest-ranking leader, aside from the Marshal, Majin.@
# Maury
Well. Er. y'know, I got... tired. So I... took a nap.@
# Harvin
I TOLD you it would be a bad idea, Maury. There's a reason she brought two of us!@
# Maury
Well- listen! Bein' made to come here in the morning right after workin' the night shift is a lot!@
# Maury
Also, we had a deal. You were supposed ta keep watch while I slept, idiot!@
# Harvin
Yeah, well... I needed the bathroom, alright? What was I supposed to do, go right there in my armor?@
# Maury
Knowin' your smarts, I'm surprised ya didn't just do that anyway...@
# Harvin
...You were the one worried about screwing it up! Just think how that would have looked, dude, we would have been so fired!@
# Maury
OBVIOUSLY, I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT, HARVIN. By the Queen, you really tire me, sometimes...@
# Maury
But... Ya know... Ya coulda made some effort to... hold it in..?@
# Harvin
You realize we're saying all of this in front of our detective, right..?@
# Maury
Whuh? Oh, yeah. You. Uh. Uhhh.@
# Maury
Moving on..!@
# Maury
We've not spoken to any of 'em, so we don't really know a whole lot.@
# Harvin
I can vouch for the Highlands guy. He was in the bathroom while I was waiting outside.@
# Harvin
Took his sweet time in there, I tell you... Maybe I would've been able to protect the General if he had been quicker.@
# Maury
I noticed that the one with the white shirt and red dress was weirdly quiet back when everyone was gathered around... I'm suspicious of 'em.@
# Maury
Pal, you must really be kiddin' me. Are ya really tellin' me you've lived in Fruma yer whole life, and haven't heard of Deraj?@
# Harvin
It's the big prison down in the aptly-named Penitence District to the south. Come on, everyone's heard of it...@
# Maury
Not many people know it like we do, though... Not that we know much at all about it either.@
# Maury
They say the prisoners there live an alright life, that they're just kept out of the way of Fruman society fer everyone else's sake...@
# Maury
But, we've had several, er, acquaintances... who've ended up there. They never came back.@
# Harvin
You NEVER want to go somewhere nobody ever comes back from. Never!@
# Maury
It's hard to know anything beyond that about it, in part because the guy in charge, Sovereign Oru, is never seen in public. Too busy with 'is duties, supposedly.@
# Harvin
I hear he's a scary guy, so honestly, I'm glad...@
# NOTE
If not every passenger has been talked to:@
# Maury
Kid, you've not even talked to everyone on the train yet. Come back when you've done that, then we'll talk.@
# Maury

...Good for you, I guess. Me? I didn't think this trip could go worse, but somehow it did!@
# Flinn
Now, there's a rogue murderer on the train! What if that general was only just the start??? It's like someone cursed me, I swear!@
# Flinn
...You're looking for the murderer, right? I guess I should help. It might end the trip on a marginally positive note if they're caught.@
# ???
...Oh. It's you. The one from the murder scene.@
# Flinn
Ugh. Well, see, I'm from Auburn Forest. I... don't like it there. So I wanted to see what the Industrial District was like. It was bad.@

And now, if the trip wasn't already horrible enough, someone's been murdered! Why can't anything be nice? Why can't anything good happen?@

What if the general was only the start??? We might all die!!!@

Any more questions? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Flinn
No, I didn't see much at all. I've just been ignoring everything.@
# Flinn
The one thing I can recount is that the attendant came by and asked me if everything was to my liking. I ignored him.@
# Flinn
I've just been sat right here for pretty much the entire ride. Just thinking.@
# Flinn
...Gosh, sorry. I know I said I'd help with the case, but, thinking on it, I've not actually seen much that could help you. huh.@

W-what? A key? Behind me?@

# Flinn
Maybe the attendant..? No... He didn't stick around...@
# Demma
Oh, nice to see you again...@
# Demma
I'm... I'm still in shock about what happened. And, frankly, afraid. There's a murderer in our midst! And I'm stuck in this train!@
# Demma
What if they... what if they...@
# Demma
...It wasn't you, was it..? No... No, a guilty person wouldn't react the way you did. I trust you.@
# Demma
It wasn't right of those guards to throw the blame on you like that... I'll tell you anything you need to know to figure out who really did it...@
# Demma
...For the General's sake, and for ours.@
# ???
Ah, you... The one from the crime scene, yes?@
# Demma
I'm... I'm Demma. I'm a student from the Aelumia University.@
# Demma
I'm travelling to Auburn for my study project... I was excited, but with all that's happened, it's a little hard to keep that optimism...@
# Demma
...You're not the murderer, are you..? No, I don't think you are... Your reaction to their accusation was too... innocent, yes...@
# Demma
What those guards did to you back there... It wasn't right. I'll tell you anything you need to know to find the real culprit.@
# Demma
So, let's get right to that, shall we?@
# Demma
So, let's get to the questionining, shall we? (After initial conversation)@
# Demma
Got more questions? (Subsequent conversations with Demma)@
# Demma
...That should be everything. I'm sorry I didn't catch all the details. Any more questions? (After asking about what Demma saw before the murder)@
# Demma
Well? (After asking about the Slime)@
# Demma
...Would you like to talk about anything else? (After asking about Helping with the bag)@
# Demma
...Let's just... Move on to another subject. (After asking about the Book)@
# Demma
Not much, but I can recount some events. The man in the canteen carriage came through here and took a while to come back. Not sure why, though I think it's likely he in the bathroom at the back of the train.@
# Demma
Shortly after, I wanted to get my notebook from my storage to write some thoughts I was having in regards to my research. On the way, I didn't pay attention to where anyone was sat.@
# Demma
In the storage room, I encountered the attendant, Telati, who seemed to be walking from the back of the train to the front. He asked me if I needed anything, and moved by.@
# Demma
Then, as I was on the way back here, I encountered a man named Malic, who was walking towards the back of the train, and we had a chat. He's now sat over there, with Maddison.@
# Demma
I didn't see where he ended up going, because it was none of my business, and I had no reason to suspect foul play.@
# Demma
I got seated, and then the man from the canteen came back... And then...@
# Demma
...Shortly after that, those two guards came in panicking, and brought us to the scene of the murder.@
# Demma
Purple slime..? Hm. Interesting. I have an immediate thought, but you'd need to check yourself, just to make sure my hunch is right.@
# Demma
Give me a second to go grab my luggage, I left the book in there...@
# NOTE
The camera fades to black while Demma gets her luggage.@
# Demma
...Oh, geez... I wasn't expecting to have to unpack this much...@
# Demma
It was so hard to get this all to fit in there to begin with...@
# Demma
Sorry, but... I've done you a favour, so I'll ask that you do me one in return.@
# Demma
Help me put my luggage back. Until you do, I'll not let you read that book. I think that's a fair deal.@
# Demma
So you're taking my deal, then?@
# NOTE
Nah.@
# Demma
Okay... Until you do, you're not reading that book, sorry.@
# NOTE
Demma's normal dialogue options reappear.@
# Demma
Thank you. Let's get to work, then.@
# Demma
Interesting, right? It's got info on all the snails in Fruma! Such fascinating creatures...@
# Demma
You should read more about the Murex Mollusc than just the bit I showed you. There's so many interesting facts about them.@
# Demma
I still find it incredible how they're the Gigastropod's closest relative, despite the sheer cliff between them.@
# Demma
It makes you wonder- how did they get down there? Or up there? There's actually an interesting query about which came first, the Gigastropod or Murex Mollusc?@
# Demma
Personally, as someone knowledgeable about the subject, I believe that the Gigastropod would have came first. Why? Well...@
# Demma
...The Murex Mollusc's special adaptations would give the Gigastropod a great biological advantage, obviously!@
# Demma
Think, toxins strong enough to bring down even Wooly Rhinos, in the Auburn Forest, with all its bugs? It'd be so strong!@
# Demma
But then, you know, there is also the argument that the Gigastropod's impenetrable shell would be useful to the Murex Mollusc, too...@
# Demma
That's why modern researchers, like my professor and I, tend to believe that there used to be other megasnails that served as a missing link between the two.@
# Demma
It's believed that they would have lived across the whole province, but went extinct in the Industrial District and Mistwoods, leaving 2 groups to evolve apart.@
# Demma
It's sad, really... If only those snails still lived... A happier world we would have...@
# Demma
It's speculated that the similarly-large Banana Slug of the Mistwoods may hold answers, but it's highly elusive, only living on the branches of massive trees, so...@
# Demma
...we've little data on them to determine the truth. It's dangerous enough to enter the Mistwoods, let alone climb those vast redwoods!@
# Demma
I'd love to study the Banana Slug... It's a dream of mine, for sure. If only the Mistwoods were not so deadly...@
# Demma
Did you know that the Mistwoods has huge creatures speculated to be the missing link between bird and-@
# Demma
OH! Oh, I'm so sorry... I got carried away...@
# Demma
It's just... So fun to share these facts with people... Sometimes, you just don't realize how little they actually care...@
# Demma
Couldn't manage? Sigh. Alright. Well, I'm still not letting you read the book until you do.@
# NOTE
The dialogue ends here.@
# Demma
I'm not letting you read that until you've helped me with my luggage, sorry.@
# Demma
Oh, thank you so much! It took me hours to pack this the first time, you know.@
# Demma
You're free to read the book now. I'll show you the page I have in mind.@
# Demma
Alright, here. Murex Molluscs. Take a read.@
# NOTE
[Strong Evidence Gained]@
# Demma
Please, hurry and find that killer. For everyone's sake.@
# Malic
Ah, they let ya go, huh? Nice, I'm glad they saw some reason.@
# Malic
Being from the Roughworks, I've seen more than enough corrupt antics from dastards like them. It's really tiring.@
# Malic
What a generally... horrible turn of events. Until that killer is caught, we might all be in danger. I'm nervous, to be honest.@
# Malic
I'm still looking forward to my vacation, but... it's definitely been soured by what's happened.@
# Malic
...Whatever. You're here to take questions, right? To figure out the actual killer? Alright.@
# ???
Oh, hey, it's you... The person from the murder scene.@
# Malic
The name's Malic, nice to meet you. I'm glad those guards saw some sense and let you go.@
# Malic
It'll be nice to get a break from all that. I'm heading to Auburn for a vacation, see.@
# Malic
It's a pretty special thing. In the Roughworks, people never really get the opportunity to travel the Queen's Line. Too expensive for us, typically.@
# Malic
It's always been a drea of mine to see what other parts of Fruma are like, though, so I... well, I saved up for a long time.@
# Malic
It was all going pretty nicely until that murder took place. Now? I'm... a little shocked, a little nervous, but I'm gonna try to keep a positive outlook.@
# Malic
Right. They're making you play detective, right? So you'll want questions from me. Well, go ahead, then, I'll do my best to answer.@
# Malic
Well, go on, then. (After initial conversation)@
# Malic
Anything else you wanna ask about? (When the dialogue options reappear)@
# Malic
Got more questions? (Subsequent conversations with Malic)@
# Malic
I've seen a few people, but nothing necessarily suspicious. Let me recount.@
# Malic
To begin with, it's important to note that I was in the seating carriage- the one behind me right now, for much of that time.@
# Malic
The first thing I saw was some posh-looking guy walking to the back, with a book in hand. Seems he was going to the bathroom, so I didn't bother him.@
# Malic
I then got up to go grab my puzzle magazine from the lockers, and, on the way, encountered the attendant, Telati, who I briefly talked to.@
# Malic
During this conversation, I also noticed you, sleeping in your seat. You were muttering something about a snotty businessman, I think. We chuckled about it.@
# Malic
On the way out of the carriage, I noticed the purple guard taking a nap in one of the seats. Didn't pay attention to anything else going on in there.@
# Malic
When I entered the storage carriage, I encountered Demma, who was walking towards the front, and we talked for a little while. It was nice getting to chat with someone.@
# Malic
As I was getting my newspaper, the posh guy passed by behind me, and then I bumped into Telati again as I was walking back to my seat.@
# Malic
Then, just when I thought I had a chance to relax and solve some crosswords, the guards came barging in asking everyone to gather around. And now you're filled in.@
# Malic
Ah, her. So, I was headed back to my seat after we all gathered around the scene of the murder, right? And then I notice Maddison, looking quite distressed.@
# Malic
I thought it might do her some good to have some company. So I went over and we spoke for a little while, and now we're just hanging out for the rest of the ride.@
# Malic
...You know, typically... when people from the higher regions come visit the Roughworks... they're rude. They treat us like filth. But...@
# Malic
Maddison? She's been nothing but respectful and kind, even if it meant... viewing some things in a questionable manner. She's cool.@
# Malic
You're welcome! As I said, 'round where I'm from, those guys are a constant problem. ALWAYS being jerks to people.@
# Malic
Most of us have come to deeply dislike them. A lot of them are just local troublemakers who joined the Guard for a position of power over everyone else.@
# Malic
...Maybe I shouldn't be expressing these kinds of thoughts to you, knowing that you're looking for the person who murdered their division leader.@
# Malic
Eh. I'd rather tell a dangerous truth than lie to get out of potential trouble.@
# Maddison
Oh, hey... It's you! Ha... ha...@
# Maddison
Uhm... To be perfectly honest with you, I'm a little... rattled about what we just saw.@
# Maddison
I'm really nervous... What if the murderer isn't done? What if they're a cursed one?@
# Malic
I wouldn't worry. Given the covert nature of their previous kill, they wouldn't do it in a room with four people. Besides, the train's not too far off now.@
# Maddison
...Thank you, Malic.@
# Malic
If you wanna alleviate your worries completely, I'd suggest helping our friend here with the investigation. Tell 'em whatever they need to know.@
# Maddison
Oh, yeah. You are doing that, aren't you? Right. Okay.@
# ???
Oh... Hi. You're the... the...@
# Maddison
...Sorry. I'm a little... rattled, after what's gone down...@
# Maddison
...Those guards were wrong, right? It wasn't you?@
# Malic
Oh, calm down, Maddie. I've talked to them; they definitely wouldn't kill someone. Besides... I don't think they'd hurt you with people around, even if it were them.'@
# Maddison
...Thanks, Malic... So, you. You're here to take questions, right? To figure out who did it?@
# Maddison
...Oh, I hope it'll be okay... I'll help you however I can. Levi's killer needs to be found...@
# Maddison
It could be any one of us! What if they're not done? What if they're a cursed one??? Oh...@
# Maddison
...I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Maddison, a tourist from Aelumia Citadel.@
# Maddison
I'm travelling the province using the Queen's Line, and was about to reach my final stop, Espren, before this disaster happened.@
# Maddison
Uhm... Ask me any further questions you need, I guess.@
# Maddison
Well, ask away, then. (After initial conversation)@
# Maddison
Got more questions? (Subsequent conversations with Maddison)@
# Maddison
That's all I remember, sorry. (After asking about what Maddison saw before the murder)@
# Maddison
Anything else you'd like to discuss? (After asking about Malic)@
# Maddison
Anything else to talk about? (After asking about General Levi or the Crossword)@
# Maddison
I've been in this carriage for almost the entire time, so I haven't seen too much. I've just been... staring out the window.@
# Maddison
That's not to say that I saw nothing at all, though. Here's my recollection of the events:@
# Maddison
The first thing I remember is that the guy from the canteen passed by on his way towards the back of the train... Not sure where he went.@
# Maddison
Then, Demma got up and walked away in the same direction.@
# Maddison
The attendant, Telati, arrived shortly after, to ask if everything was alright, and then made his way towards the back again.@
# Maddison
Soon after that, Demma came back, and the guy from the canteen soon followed.@
# Maddison
Malic's so nice... You know, back when I visited the Industrial District, I found the citizens to be... intimidating, unkind. But Malic? He's different.@
# Maddison
...To be honest, I was feeling a little... negative, about the way things were over there. But... I think Malic has given me a new perspective.@
# Maddison
I'm glad to have met him.@
# Maddison
Uhm... I did know her, a bit. Not personally, but I was familiar with her as a person, you know..?@
# Maddison
Back home in Aelumia Citadel, they do military parades all the time. I saw her there a lot.@
# Maddison
She was the leader of the Constables Division, and, and...@
# Maddison
Wait.@
# Maddison
MALIC! I think I... No... Uhmmm...@
# Malic
Ah, the crossword? You got one, finally?@
# Maddison
I... I don't know! I don't know!!!@
# Malic
Maddie here was telling me of her visit to the Roughworks, and her thoughts on our culture, so I thought I'd give her a quiz, see.@
# Malic
It's a crossword from my favourite magazine, Puzzle Factory. Thought it might, y'know, help take her mind off things.@
# Malic
...Doesn't it look easy..?@
# Maddison
HEY!!! Well... if it's so easy, SOLVE IT!@
# Maddison
You know, I was going to say something else, but now I forgot!!!@
# Maddison
Uhhm. Uhhhhh. Um.@
# Malic
Maybe it'll clear your head if our friend here solves the crossword. Proves it's easy.@
# Maddison
I promise you it isn't!!!@
# Maddison
Alright, fine! Go on! do the crossword!@
# NOTE
Maddison will offer the option to solve the crossword.@
# Maddison
Ready to try the crossword? It's not easy!!!@
# Maddison
DO IT.... NOW!!@
# Maddison
SEE??? It's not easy, they're too intimidated to do it.@
# NOTE
Maddison's normal dialogue options reappear.@
# Maddison
Hahahahahaha.... You will see..!@
# NOTE
The crossword puzzle starts.@
# Malic
...Yep.@
# Malic
As a subscriber to this paper, I'm honestly getting a little tired of the riddles that just talk about how great the province is... Some variation of this question's in like, every single issue.@
# Malic
Ugh.@
# Maddison
DAMNIT!!! That was so obvious! I had it, I swear!!!!!!@
# Maddison
Wait, that wasn't allowed? I thought it was cool...@
# Maddison
Hey! That's not how you spell his... oh, whatever, it doesn't actually matter.@
# Malic
I've always thought it's, uh, really stupid that they named those trees that. Maddison loves it though?@
# Malic
Yep, and then it takes even more to hold on to it!@
# Maddison
Oh, goodness, crossword... Don't make me think of that again...@
# Malic
Man... heard that didn't go super well this year...@
# Maddison
SEE??? They couldn't do it. It was too hard!@
# Malic
Have you remembered what you were thinking about?@
# Maddison
Uhm ...no. Not yet.@
# Malic
There we go!@
# Maddison
UGH, what????? Damnit! I guess I didn't pay good enough attention on my trip...@
# Malic
Honestly, don't worry. Given what you've told me about your own home, I can't imagine the Roughworks are really worth knowing about, for someone like you.@
# Maddison
Oh, right! I just remembered what I was going to say.@
# Maddison
General Levi came from the Highlands, specifically a noble house called House Takshah.@
# Maddison
Apparently, some people have it out for that house in particular... That's all I know though, sorry.@
# Cemor
...That blasted attendant... He better give me m-@
# Cemor
...Ah, you! You again. They let you go, hm?@
# Cemor
Lucky. Those Constables... Majin has them stationed around Hyloch for our safety, but they're always causing trouble. I don't trust people like them.@
# Cemor
Still, I suppose Levi would have been different, given her high role. How cruel it is that someone cut her life short...@
# Cemor
You are looking for the perpetrator, yes? I'll tell you anything you need to know.@
# ???
...Oh, it's you. You from the murder scene. They let you go, hm?@
# ???
You are looking for the perpetrator, yes? I'll tell you anything you need to know. I suppose the first thing would be an introduction.@
# Cemor
But enough about little old me. You are here to ask questions. Go on.@
# Cemor
Go ahead, now. Ask away. (After initial conversation)@
# Cemor
What is it now? More questions? (Subsequent conversations with Cemor)@
# Cemor
What else have you to ask? (After asking about what Cemor saw before the murder)@
# Cemor
But let us move on from that. Any more questions? (After asking about Constables)@
# Cemor
Any more questions? (After asking about what Cemor is mad about)@
# Cemor
Anywho, thank you for the food. Now, ask me questions if you have any, leave me to my meal otherwise. (After giving Cemor his meal)@
# Cemor
I didn't see much at all, because I was in the bathroom for much of the time. There's only one thing I saw that could be of note.@
# Cemor
When I reached the back of the train, where the bathroom is located, I noticed the attendant, Telati.@
# Cemor
He was just stood around, up to... something. When he saw me enter, he seemed to panic and left the carriage. How suspicious.@
# Cemor
Ech. Constables. Always a pain.@
# Cemor
They're supposedly stronger than the regular divisional soldiers, but at least those divisional soldiers knew respect.@
# Cemor
The Constables are often from other regions, so they're not part of the local community- they're less friendly. This makes them HORRIBLE town guards.@
# Cemor
I speak from experience. Our Sovereign, Majin, replaced the Hyloch guard with Constables a few years ago. Supposedly to better protect us.@
# Cemor
Given his lack of improvements to the town besides that, I doubt that's the real reason. He just did it for the praise.@
# Cemor
If he REALLY wanted to please us, he should have had some of those spangly Wings guard us. They don't do anything but stand around looking cool, anyway.@
# Cemor
They're the best of the best, and I'm sure they would serve us better than those unruly Constables. They have the decorum not to scoff in our faces.@
# Cemor
Yes, that's right- scoff in our faces. That's how little respect these Constables have for the nobility. It's ridiculous.@
# Cemor
A friend of mine, from House Krisa, was humiliated by a pair of rude Constables in Hyloch a while back. His handmade clothes were ruined! Covered in dye!@
# Cemor
He had one of his friends in House Liftal contact Majin about it, so I'm sure those fools got what they deserved... Heh.@
# Cemor
...Anyway. All of this to say: Constables are no good. I am not fond of them.@
# Cemor
Ugh. It's that attendant, Telati. I asked him for a meal hours ago, and he STILL hasn't even STARTED on it!@
# Cemor
...Could you do me a favour go and ask him to get a move on? I'm tired of waiting here.@
# NOTE
The camera fades to black. The meal is placed on Cemor's table.@
# Cemor
You..? You made it? He reallu had you do it for him???@
# Cemor
Goodness... I'm going to be leaving a poor review of this train in the paper, and telling my friends of this disappointment...@
# Cemor
...Speaking of gossip, I thought of something I heard recently that might be useful to you...@
# Cemor
Yes, I heard from some friends that General Levi was being called to Fort Torann by Sovereign Zhiraok.@
# Cemor
Of course, I'm sure you already knew that. My point is this- word was out about what was happening, so I bet whoever killed her had this insider information.@
# Cemor
Truly curious... Who might know about that?@
# Cemor
Good luck.@
# Maury
Hm. I suppose it makes enough sense. They were awfully quiet when we found the body.@
# Harvin
I dunno, Maury. Something doesn't seem right about this.@
# Flinn
...it wasn't me, but...@
# Flinn
...having seen what other parts of Fruma are like, maybe prison would be... an improvement...@
# Maury
Works for us, I guess. Just uh, go along with what we tell 'em, alright?@
# Maury
Good timin', too. The train's about to arrive in Espren.@
# Demma
Huh?@
# Maury
Yeah, I suppose a university student could get their hands on the weird substances that were involved here. I see it.@
# Demma
But- but why would I kill a general? I don't want to hurt anyone!@
# Harvin
Yeah, Maury, I don't really see a motivation here...@
# Maury
Hm... Well, whatever, we never were goin' off of actual guilt, anyway.@
# Harvin
Yeah, true, I guess this works.@
# Maury
You're under arrest. We're about to arrive in Espren, and we'll be takin' ya straight to the local guard!@
# Maury
The Highlands guy? That's who ya think did it?@
# Harvin
Yeah, what the heck? He was in the bathroom the whole time. This doesn't make sense...@
# Cemor
Hahaha... HAHAHAHA...@
# Cemor
They are right...! It WAS I, Toxic Thistle of the Blossoming Blades, Fruma's deadliest vindicators!@
# Maury
...???@
# Cemor
Behold, lapdogs, the beginning of our glorious revolution!@
# Cemor
Even in arrest, I have won... My brethren who stand against the Queen shall be mobilized by this glorious act of violence...@
# Cemor
The troubled people of Fruma shall wake to the fact that their rulers are not infallible gods; they shall at last understand that they alone bear the bridles of their own destiny...!@
# Harvin
Hey-@
# Cemor
And executed so poetically, too! Think- a titan of House Takshah, slain by merely the poison of House Efelu- even a small Murex Mollusc takes down the mighty rhinoce-@
# Demma
Well, actually, Murex Molluscs are noted for being quite large for a sn-@
# Cemor
Silence!@
# Cemor
Before you take me away, you must admit... my exploits are impressive, no?@
# Maury
Er... No. I ain't paid enough to care about whatever revolution thing ya were just talkin' about.@
# Harvin
Yeah, do you really think any of this is gonna make a difference? Nobody cares about some general. None of this matters.@
# Cemor
...Huh?@
# Maury
What does matter, though, is that you just made our job REAL easy fer us.@
# Maury
C'mon, punk, the train's arrivin' now. We're takin' you to the slammer.@
# Telati
W-what?@
# Maury
I guess a guy like him could grow jaded against the system. He's a Roughworker, after all.@
# Harvin
Yeah, and he's the only guy who could possibly have unlocked the door to the private cabin, so it makes sense, really.@
# Telati
But... I would never kill one of the Queen's servants... Or anyone for that matter! Please! Have mercy!@
# Maury
Heh. I don't think ya did it. But I don't care. We never were specifically lookin' to arrest the actual perpetrator.@
# Harvin
Yeah, you're believable enough. We'll go with you.@
# Maury
Good timin', too! We're about to arrive in Espren.@
# Malic
What? It wasn't me!@
# Maddison
No! He couldn't have...@
# Maury
Yeah, I uh, don' see the angle on this one, pal..@
# Harvin
Eh, Roughworkers are pretty disobedient. I think it makes enough sense.@
# Maury
True... We never were arrestin' based on real guilt anyway, were we? We'll just go with this.@
# Malic
But... I'm innocent!@
# Maury
Heh. Tell it to Oru, bub.@
# Harvin
...Is that something Oru does? Take questio-@
# Maury
I DON'T KNOW, Harvin. It just sounded cool to say. And now you've ruined the moment.@
# Maury
...Ech. Whatever. Train's about to arrive in Espren, let's get this guy to the slammer.@
# Malic
What? No! It couldn't have been her!@
# Maury
Uh... Yeah, I don' see how it could've been her, bud.@
# Harvin
Do we care? We were going to arrest our detective here without evidence, anyway, Maury.@
# Maury
I guess yer right, though it might be hard to spin an Aelumian as guilty... They're pretty well-behaved.@
# Malic
...This is ridiculous! You can't do this!@
# Maury
Must I repeat myself? Do ya want to be put down as an accomplice? Quiet, you.@
# Harvin
Hey, Maury... What if we arrested HIM instead. It'd be easier to explain, no?@
# Malic
...you know what? Yes. Take me instead.@
# Maury
That works fer us!@
# Maury
Hands behind yer back, bub, the train's about to arrive in Espren.@
# Harvin
Come on, idiot. We're not going to let you accuse US, obviously.@
# Maury
Even if it WAS me, there'd be nothing ya could do about it. We're the ones with power here. Now go and select one of the passengers, come on.@
# Maury
...You mean to suggest she... No, that's just not possible.@
# Harvin
Yeah, why would she? She had important business to do...@
# Maury
Well, Harvin, maybe she got tired of her job? That Majin bossin' her around all the time's gotta get tirin'...@
# Harvin
Hm...@
# Maury
You know what? Even if she did do it, I don't care; we need someone to blame. Now COME ON! Accuse someone already, preferably alive this time!@
# ???
Hey! You!@
# Harvin
That guy we just arrested? He was STACKED! LOADED! We're gonna be vacationing in the Highlands with this kind of money, haha!@
# Harvin
Don't tell Maury, but I felt like you deserved a small cut of the profits, Y'know, for figuring it out, and all.@
# NOTE
[+5 Liquid Emeralds]@
# Maury
HEY! HARVIN! Didn't I tell ya not to go and give 'em anything? Idiot!@
# Harvin
...Shoot. Guess that's my cue to leave.@

On her way out of the wagon, she then encountered Malic, who entered from the seating room, though she did not pay attention to where he ended up going.

# NOTE
"This toxin is also known to incapacitate and paralyse those affected by it, a property which has made it desirable to crooks and murderers."@«Также известно, что этот токсин обездвиживает и парализует тех, на кого попадает, - свойство, сделавшее его желанным для мошенников и убийц.»
# NOTE
"However, it has almost never been used in crime, as it is extremely difficult to collect from the Mollusc's fragile darts, which break on impact."@«Однако в преступлениях он почти никогда не использовался, так как его крайне трудно собрать с хрупких дротиков моллюска, которые ломаются при ударе.»

# Веская улика
Demma's book describes Murex Mollusc slime, which seems to match well with the goo found on the blade. This slime contains a paralyzing toxin, possibly explaining why General Levi didn't struggle. The Murex Mollusc comes from the Highlands, but its slime is known to appear in black markets, too.@Книга Деммы описывает слизь моллюска мурекс, которая, похоже, хорошо совпадает со слизью, найденной на лезвии. Эта слизь содержит парализующий токсин, что, возможно, объясняет, почему генерал Леви не сопротивлялась. Моллюск мурекс водится в Хайлендс, но его слизь, как известно, появляется и на чёрных рынках.

After this, Telati came by to ask her if everything was okay, and then left, after which Demma returned, followed by Cemor.@Мэддисон сказала, что не особо следила за происходящим в поезде до убийства, но кое-что видела.

He suggested that whoever killed her was aware of this and boarded the train with the express intent of killing her.@Семор рассказал тебе, что перед посадкой на поезд слышал от друзей в разговоре, что генерала Леви вызвали в форт Торанн, а значит, эта информация как-то просочилась в народ. Он предположил, что убийца знал об этом и сел на поезд с прямым намерением убить её.
