Dialogue
A Storm in the Night
???: ...
???: H-hello?
???: Oh no no no!
???: What have I gotten myself into this time?!
A Shocking Discovery
???: And so I have, yet again, deftly maneuvered my way out of a precarious predicament, with an elegance so befitting of only a Prince of the Manufactory!
???: Well, peons? Will you not humble yourselves before my presence?
???: Hmm. Yes, yes. That would make sense. I assume I have traveled into The Beyond, after all.
???: Very well, let me introduce myself.
Eulin Verriton IV: I am Prince Eulin Verriton the Fourth, second heir to the Manufactory, and your better!
Eulin Verriton IV: Those ruffians whom I so swiftly dispatched earlier were assassins sent to kidnap me and prevent my return home.
Eulin Verriton IV: Ah yes, The Beyond has, as of yet, likely not been graced by the ephemeral form of the Lagohmorph!
Eulin Verriton IV: Or Lagohm, for short.
Eulin Verriton IV: We are the occupants of the Manufactory, the largest city in the Energy plains!
Eulin Verriton IV: That's what I said!
Eulin Verriton IV: Aha! You underestimate a Prince, sparkly one! I have had only the best tutors, and thus I speak fluent 'Beyondspeech'!
Eulin Verriton IV: A dragon!
Eulin Verriton IV: This explains much! You are all in servitude to this one, then?
Eulin Verriton IV: I've always wanted to practice my 'Drahrspeech'!
Eulin Verriton IV: Ahem!
If you have a Dragon Amulet:
Eulin Verriton IV: Thank you, I am an effervescent pineapple!
If you don't have a Dragon Amulet:
Eulin Verriton IV: *Confusing yet definitely draconic growls*
Eulin Verriton IV: I didn't pay much attention during Draconic class.
Eulin Verriton IV: *Hiss!*
Eulin Verriton IV: Ah yes, I was fleeing from captors sent after me by, I can only assume, one of my many brothers or sisters...
Eulin Verriton IV: ...when I strategically came upon this massive tear in the world!
Eulin Verriton IV: And so, intrepid and brave explorer that I am, I made my way through, into The Beyond!
Eulin Verriton IV: And I can only assume the Seekers followed me.
Eulin Verriton IV: Of course! You dare doubt my superior memory?
Eulin Verriton IV: It was a dark room, with very little light. I made a few turns, I remember, and kept going in various different directions...
Eulin Verriton IV: And then, I stumbled upon numerous points of interest that weren't particularly interesting.
Eulin Verriton IV: In fact, you could say they were points of... insignificance!
Eulin Verriton IV: Aha!
Eulin Verriton IV: But I'll know them when I see them!
Eulin Verriton IV: Oh, but there's so much of The Beyond to explore! I would perhaps be receptive of your servitude.
Eulin Verriton IV: That is, if the dragon is willing to share.
Eulin Verriton IV: But at some point, I should return home.
Eulin Verriton IV: The Manufactory isn't going to run itself, after all!
Eulin Verriton IV: Yes, I do believe we can be of assistance to each other.
Eulin Verriton IV: Is that the... Moon?
Eulin Verriton IV: It's... beautiful.
Eulin Verriton IV: Greetings, <Character>!
If you joined the Rose Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: While not my... usual lodgings, Raven has done her best to keep me comfortable, and dare I say, pampered! I've had a few pokes and prods, but nothing too invasive.
If you joined the Golden Hand Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: Ostromir has been distant, but hospitable, although, likely out of politeness than any real care or respect. But I've encountered such before! This won't be the last.
Eulin Verriton IV: Vseslava has been kinder, and these lodgings are quite comfortable, indeed. I also ingested a bottle of their 'Murshrom Brew'. Surprisingly not undelicious.
If you joined the Vind Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: I'm certainly quite used to better, but as a stranger to The Beyond, I suppose I must temper my expectations somewhat. Kara has been most kind, at least.
Eulin Verriton IV: I'd prefer asking you more about The Beyond! But I understand. The allure and majesty of the Manufactory calls to all. What would you ask of me?
About Humans
Eulin Verriton IV: Humans are quite rare, but do exist. They are the premier scholars of Beyondspeech, although I don't think many, if any, have been to The Beyond themselves.
If you joined the Rose Faction / Vind Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: Of course, others like myself study Beyondspeech for its similarities and roots in Ancientspeech. Drahrspeech as well!
If you joined the Golden Hand Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: I've definitely never seen or heard of sparkly humans like The Golden Hand. But the Plains are a big world. Anyway, back to the topic at hand:
Eulin Verriton IV: There are those like myself who study Beyondspeech for its similarities and roots in Ancientspeech. Drahrspeech as well!
Eulin Verriton IV: Although, from what I understand, humans have trouble with Drahrspeech. Tis a pity. It is a beautiful language.
About Dragons
Eulin Verriton IV: Not in the Manufactory itself, no. We would not deign to compete with such savage creatures! But they are certainly not uncommon elsewhere.
Eulin Verriton IV: I've not seen one for myself before, though. From the stories, I'd have expected them to be bigger. Maybe the dragons of The Beyond aren't as scary.
If you joined the Rose Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: Er, no, that's quite alright! Thank you!
If you joined the Golden Hand Faction / Vind Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: I'm sure the dragon that rules over you all is a most wise and benevolent ruler. After all, size isn't everything, as evidenced by myself!
Your World
If you joined the Rose Faction / Vind Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: We call it The Plains. The more uncivilized parts are sometimes referred to as The Wastes, but there are those of us with power who wish to see the lands united. As The Plains.
Eulin Verriton IV: Maybe. Beyondspeech can be an imprecise language at times.
If you joined the Golden Hand Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: Excuse me?
Eulin Verriton IV: None taken, gracious hosts. As I was saying, regarding our world...
Eulin Verriton IV: We call it The Plains. The more uncivilized parts are sometimes referred to as The Wastes, but there are those of us with power who wish to see the lands united. As The Plains.
Eulin Verriton IV: Who knows? Beyondspeech can be an imprecise language at times.
The Manufactory
Eulin Verriton IV: The Manufactory is the crown jewel of the Energy Plains! A massive city and factory, the center of innovation. And also my almost birthright.
Eulin Verriton IV: Yes. I am the second prince. Unfortunately, that means my older brother is in line to take over before I am. And it also means there are quite a few siblings behind me!
Eulin Verriton IV: My older brother is content to allow the Manufactory to continue its current course of isolation- but I disagree.
Eulin Verriton IV: I believe that only through trade and exploration can we gain knowledge and innovate as we did in the early days of the Manufactory.
Eulin Verriton IV: But of course, not everyone agrees. I doubt my brother was directly behind the assassins, but perhaps another sibling among his allies.
Eulin Verriton IV: Hmm. While I don't miss the politics of home, I hope everything is okay while I'm here in The Beyond.
See You Later!
Eulin Verriton IV: I was happy to speak with you! I myself must continue my investigation of The Beyond! There's so much to see and learn.
Eulin Verriton IV: Worry not. I have no intent on betraying the trust of my subjects. Especially when they've been so useful!
If you joined the Rose Faction:
Eulin Verriton IV: And to be quite honest, I'm not sure if Raven will let me out of her sight. I don't suppose I could take her with me when I return?
Eulin Verriton IV: Only a jest.
Eulin Verriton IV: Although, she does often offer to carry me around. I may have to acquiesce to that demand some time...
Ambition's Crossroads
Eulin Verriton IV: Greetings, <Character>!
Eulin Verriton IV: How goes the watch?
Eulin Verriton IV: Hmm. A few measly stray bolts of lightning is hardly a storm!
Eulin Verriton IV: Why, back in the Manufactory, the rolls of thunder herald the hammers of the forges!
Eulin Verriton IV: Now that is a true storm! The heartbeat of the city, harnessed and rhythmic!
Eulin Verriton IV: The ticking of infinite gears... and the whirs of machinery...
Eulin Verriton IV: I... I can't let down my subjects. They trust me. Believe in me. Depend on me.
Eulin Verriton IV: It is my responsibility. My burden to bear, for none else can, or will.
Eulin Verriton IV: Oh yes. The Manufactory demands much, and in return, the Lagohm and other denizens prosper.
Eulin Verriton IV: Only the best could ever hope to pull the right strings, turn the right cogs, and keep the Manufactory from crashing into a grinding halt.
Eulin Verriton IV: And I... I am the best!
Eulin Verriton IV: As I should be! And as I endeavor to stay!
Eulin Verriton IV: ...
Grinding Gears
???: They suspect nothing, although with my absence, I think–
???: With all due respect, you underestimate their defenders. If we don't pursue a more diplomatic route, the Beyond may end up, well, beyond us.
Eulin Verriton IV: ...Understood, father.
Eulin Verriton IV: Yes, father.
Eulin Verriton IV: And then, I deftly spun through the air, creating an opening for the dragon and Raven, while Ostromir cowered in the corner!
Eulin Verriton IV: That was my doing! I told my soldiers to uh, capture you three.
Eulin Verriton IV: You were the ones who cared about me the most, so I knew if I got into trouble, you wouldn't hesitate to help!
Eulin Verriton IV: Sure, sure. You couldn't keep your eyes off me! The dragon too!
Eulin Verriton IV: My plan was flawless!
Eulin Verriton IV: Wasn't it magnificent?
Eulin Verriton IV: You found a hero who led you to safety! It was I, Eulin Verriton the–
Eulin Verriton IV: It was an intricate path to avoid the guards!
Eulin Verriton IV: Er, well...
Eulin Verriton IV: So, my father, ruler of the Manufactory may or may not be planning to invade the Beyond, that is, here, with a massive force in a colonization effort to extend our influence and power outside of our region.
Eulin Verriton IV: And I may or may not have brought him three unnamed prisoners in an attempt to gain favor to stop him from doing that but now that I've told you all this, I think I'm a traitor and I think that means my birthright is forfeit but that's okay because I mean...
Eulin Verriton IV: Who really needs to be a prince anyway? It's not like I had people counting on me or plans for the Manufactory or a twenty-part diplomatic process planned for establishing trade and dialogue between us and the Beyond and now those plans are probably all a mess and now the Beyond will be colonized and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
Eulin Verriton IV: It's okay, I'm fine!
Eulin Verriton IV: Yes, please.
Eulin Verriton IV: Oh, no, I'll be okay...
Eulin Verriton IV: I wouldn't dream of it!
As original dialogue, with one additional option:
How are you doing?
Eulin Verriton IV: I'm um... stressed.
Eulin Verriton IV: I don't want to disobey my father, but I also don't want to see the Beyond colonized.
Eulin Verriton IV: Well, first we induct the populace into Lagohm society. Sometimes that needs violence. I think here, that would be a necessity.
Eulin Verriton IV: Next, we gather resources. All of them. The Manufactory demands a constant influx of fuel, after all.
Eulin Verriton IV: And finally, terraforming. Using Energy magic and elementals, we change the climate and area to better fit the Lagohm, and it joins the Manufactory.
Eulin Verriton IV: And I don't think it's worth trying to convince you all that it is. Instead, something more sustainable may be in order. But my father refuses to listen.
Eulin Verriton IV: I was already on the run, since my first expedition here wasn't exactly authorized. I had to bring something back to show for it.
Eulin Verriton IV: But my father was unimpressed. And well, I couldn't leave my friends locked up! So when I saw my opportunity, I led them to the portal to The Beyond.
Eulin Verriton IV: I wouldn't have let anything bad happen to them! My father may be strict, but he isn't cruel. Your friends would not have been harmed.
Eulin Verriton IV: Consider your advice heeded! I have big ideas, but I clearly have much to learn.
Direct Current
Eulin Verriton IV: I resent that!
Eulin Verriton IV: I'll have you know that I, Euli–
Eulin Verriton IV: Mmmph!
Eulin Verriton IV: ...
Eulin Verriton IV: Yeah...
Eulin Verriton IV: I'm just... thinking about what might happen when we reach the rift.
Eulin Verriton IV: To me, I mean. I'm sure you all can handle yourselves.
Eulin Verriton IV: Powerful as you are.
Eulin Verriton IV: Don't worry, I'll be okay!
Eulin Verriton IV: I... I wouldn't dream of it!
The Spark of the Soul
Eulin Verriton IV: They knew they couldn't stand before a prince- er, former prince- that is...
Eulin Verriton IV: Most certainly! And with my brother at the lead, it's probably quite defensible and extensible!
Eulin Verriton IV: Enemy. Right.
Eulin Verriton IV: ...Not to me.
Eulin Verriton IV: Hmm. They'll have lightning towers for sure, so you'll want to watch your step.
Eulin Verriton IV: And we'll have to make sure to watch our backs too! But you're all so strong, I'm sure it'll be fine...
Eulin Verriton IV: Stop! Wait!
Eulin Verriton IV: Lupin, you have to listen to me! We shouldn't be fighting! If we can only establish a dialogue, and trade, following my twenty-part process—
Eulin Verriton IV: I wasn't brainwashed! I told you before!
Eulin Verriton IV: And they definitely haven't tortured me!
Eulin Verriton IV: The Beyond is an incredible place! And their warriors are brave and strong!
Eulin Verriton IV: We'll get nowhere by just trying to conquer them by force. They're too powerful for that.
Eulin Verriton IV: It's not like back home.
Eulin Verriton IV: Father... will have to see for himself. And I expect he'll come around too.
Eulin Verriton IV: Yeah. Let's go, everyone!
Broken Circuit (Part 1)
Eulin Verriton IV: I've... given it some thought.
Eulin Verriton IV: It greatly saddens me to declare that you will be bereft of my glorious presence.
Eulin Verriton IV: Indeed, it's true. But this has been such a valuable experience!
Eulin Verriton IV: I've seen the Beyond with my own eyes! I've been proven right that war and conquest isn't the only way for the Manufactory!
Eulin Verriton IV: I've done more than I could have ever dreamed, and I've met all of you!
Eulin Verriton IV: But the Manufactory needs my leadership. And so, as much as it may pain you, I must go.
Eulin Verriton IV: My people need me.
Eulin Verriton IV: Don't worry, just let me do the talking!
Eulin Verriton IV: I... just... I don't want to see my new friends and my family fight. It's not right!
Eulin Verriton IV: I warned Prince Lupin, and I'm warning you now, father. The hero should not be underestimated!
Eulin Verriton IV: I just... I don't want to see anyone hurt, when we could just work together.
Eulin Verriton IV: They do, father.
Eulin Verriton IV: If we can find some way to maintain a secure passage, I'm sure we'll be able to come to some sort of agreement!
Eulin Verriton IV: But before then, there's much to do back home, right, father?
Eulin Verriton IV: Yes. Go ahead.
Eulin Verriton IV: No, I swear! I don't know what's happening either!
Broken Circuit (Part 2)
Eulin Verriton IV: So the connection between the Beyond and the Manufactory won't be closed?
Eulin Verriton IV: I don't see why not! This is the perfect opportunity to begin building connections between our lands!
Eulin Verriton IV: But... if there's no way to close it...
Of Duty and Dragons
Eulin Verriton IV: So... this is it, then. My grand adventure into the Beyond comes to an end.
Eulin Verriton IV: Tales and epics will be told of how I, Prince Eulin Verriton IV, prevented a catastrophe that would destroy the Beyond–
Eulin Verriton IV: Fear not, Raven!
Eulin Verriton IV: Somehow, some way, I'll find a way back to see you all again.
Eulin Verriton IV: Even you, Ostromir!
Eulin Verriton IV: As for you,
Eulin Verriton IV: <Dragon>,
Eulin Verriton IV: I will be practicing my Drahrspeech for when that day comes!
Eulin Verriton IV: Our rivalry will stretch to the moon, our competitions beyond that which the Beyond has ever seen before!
Eulin Verriton IV: And <Character>.
Eulin Verriton IV: Hero of the Beyond.
Eulin Verriton IV: You humbled my brother and father, and in doing so, showed them that their conquests are not the only way for the Manufactory.
Eulin Verriton IV: My honor has been restored, and I return to the Manufactory a changed Lagohm. A hero.
Eulin Verriton IV: Dare I say... a favored prince?
Eulin Verriton IV: Thank you. All of you.
Eulin Verriton IV: I... I...
Eulin Verriton IV: No, a hero and a prince of the Manufactory mustn't cry at what is only a temporary parting!
Eulin Verriton IV: Mark my words. This is not the last you've seen of Prince Eulin Verriton IV!
Eulin Verriton IV: Farewell, my friends!
