Dialogue *Somewhere in Apsaydaaun, Verlyrus appears to be trapped in some kind of extraction contraption.* Verlyrus: Meow! Miau nya mroow!! Verlyrus: Hisss! Al'nold: I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry, but I have to do this! Al'nold: It's the only way! Al'nold: Please, forgive me! *Meanwhile, back in Lataraji, Bubble begins to interrogate Majji and Akaz.* "M": Didn't we have a deal? Akaz: You...are...not...wel...come...aaaa...round...these...parts... Bubble: I stopped caring as soon as you made this personal, Majji! "M": Ugh, I told you to stop calling me by the name assigned to me after my creation. Bubble: Where is Verlyrus?! "M": Verwho? Bubble: The cat. "M": I know naught of any cat. Bubble: Don't lie to me! He's been kidnapped by one of you! Bubble: Having a cat would mean a boost in sales. Bubble: And I know you. "M": ... "M": While you're not wrong, having a cat would certainly be beneficial to our establishment... "M": ... I don't resort to such plebeian cheating methods to get ahead in business. "M": Our clients get only the freshest, lost candy, who stumbled upon this domain by themselves. This allows for a better taste of fright and wonder. Akaz: Ob...taining...candy...by...any...other...means...spoils...the...recipe... "M": Well said, Akaz. *You stare at Majji and Akaz with a look that expresses your disbelief, shock, and horror in regards to their statements.* "M": So, as you can see, we had nothing to do with this alleged kidnapping. *Bubble scorns, clearly unsatisfied with Majji and Akaz's responses, but can't deny their alibi is sound.* <Character>: If I may... "M": Oh. I didn't see this here! "M": You should have told us in the first place that you were bringing a gift. I apologize for my behaviour. "M": I might even forgive you for trespassing— Bubble, Bubble, Toil, Trouble (in unison): This is not a gift! Bubble: <Character> is our friend! "M": You are... friends... with candy? "M": Oh, Cauldron Sisters... how low can you fall... <Character>: IF I MAY! *Majji and the Cauldron Sisters quieten after you raise your voice.* <Character>: Thank you! <Character>: Let me be the voice of reason here. Surely, we can all reach some sort of a... consensus— "M": Akaz, look, the food is talking to me. Akaz: Ha...ha...ha...ha... <Character>: Ok, I've had enough— Bubble: You are missing someone. Where is Al'nold? "M": I don't bother to occupy my mind with that pathetic hare. Akaz: He...is...in...his...room... <Character>: Why am I being ignored!? *Bubble ponders everything Majji and Akaz have shared with them.* Bubble: If these two don't have him, then Al surely has. Bubble: You were a little hard on them... Trouble: I didn't mind. Bubble: Let's go, guys! <Character>: No. *You have a look of disapproval on your face, and the Cauldron Sisters are uncertain as to why.* Bubble: What?! <Character>: These people! We can't leave them! *At least half a dozen innocents are shown to be trapped in a cage, looks of fright and hopelessness on their faces.* Toil: <Character>... the moment they ended up here, they became property of the Baleful Brothers. <Character>: I'm... <Character>: This is sick!!! <Character>: They will be eaten! <Character>: And you're all fine with this?! Bubble: Lower your voice! Trouble: Things... are different here. <Character>: I... I don't believe this! Myx: You better. <Character>: I'm setting them free, whether you like it or not! Bubble: FINE! Bubble: We can do this AFTER we find Verly! He is our priority! <Character>: And MY priority are people in distress! Bubble: I said we'll go back for them! Right now, whatever Al'nold is planning to do with Verly is more important. <Character>: Why?! Bubble: Oh, because, you know, he could theoretically be able to kidnap even MORE people!? <Character>: ... <Character>: Very well. <Character>: But I'm cross with you. All of you. Bubble: Fine! Bubble: Let's go! *After your heated argument with Bubble, you, Myx, and the Cauldron Sisters head to Al'nold's room; Verlyrus still appears to be trapped in the extraction contraption, and a link between Apsaydaaun and Falconreach's Pet Shop appears to have been created.* Al'nold: YES! Al'nold: Yes yes yes yes!! Al'nold: I was right! Extracting the subcatomic purrticles did it! Al'nold: I'm not useless! This will show them! Al'nold: I'm sorry, kitty, but... I have to make it bigger. Verlyrus: Mrrrooow... Bubble: AL'NOLD! Al'nold: AAAH! *Al'nold is visibly shocked at the sudden appearance of you, Myx, and the Cauldron Sisters.* Al'nold: The Cauldron Sisters?! Al'nold: W-what are you doing here? <Character>: Is this... Falconreach?! Bubble: Verly! Verlyrus: Myoooou... Bubble: You... Bubble: Youuuu littleeee... Bubble: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM! Al'nold: I'm sorry! I had to! <Character>: Release him this instant! Al'nold: No! Al'nold: I can't! I... Al'nold: I have to do this! Al'nold: I'm s-sorry!! *Al'nold blasts a large beam of dark energy from his horn which transforms the Cauldron Sisters into chocolate bunnies; to Al'nold's shock, you (and Myx) appear to be unaffected.* Al'nold: AAAH! Al'nold: Why didn't you— <Character>: What just happened!? Myx: They were turned into bunnies. Chocolate bunnies. <Character>: I CAN SEE THAT! Al'nold: Leave! Go away! <Character>: Not before you turn them back and release Verlyrus! Al'nold: I won't do it! I won't! Al'nold: I will not be ridiculed! Al'nold: I AM NOT USELESS! Battle! - begins battle with Al. Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. Run Away! - returns to Mogloween Storybook. *Defeated, Al'nold cowers from you in fear.* <Character>: Turn them back, now! *A bright light momentarily blinds you, and suddenly the Cauldron Sisters have all returned to their original forms.* Bubble: Al'nold! Bubble: Release the cat, or— Al'nold: Take it... Bubble: ... *Bubble holds Verlyrus up after having freed him from the extraction contraption; the link between Apsaydaaun and Falconreach's Pet Shop shatters.* Verlyrus: Meeeeow... Bubble: Are you alright? Verlyrus: Purrrrr. Al'nold: You've ruined me... you've ruined everything! Bubble: Al'nold, what were you trying to do? Al'nold: I just wanted to be useful. I wanted to merge Apsaydaaun and Lore together, so that we could give out all the candy to people here... <Character>: Humans!! Al'nold: It doesn't matter anymore... Al'nold: You, a candy, took my dream and stomped on it and kicked it and— <Character>: Again, human! <Character>: Also... sorry for beating you up, I tried to be as gentle as possible... Al'nold: I just wanted to prove to my brothers that I can run the business too!! Al'nold: You took it away from me! Al'nold: They always make fun of me, never include me in the celebrations, tease me... Al'nold: I... I don't even like candy! <Character>: Humans! Al'nold: I just wanted my brothers to finally see me as equal! Bubble: Al, if your brothers are jerks, you don't have to please them! Bubble: Bubble? Bubble: Do whatever you want! What makes you happy. Bubble: If you try to make them happy, you'll be the one who is miserable! Al'nold: I am miserable... Bubble: No you're not! Don't say that! Bubble: Come on, let's take a walk! *You, Myx, the Cauldron Sisters and Al'nold all take a walk outside through Apsaydaaun.* Al'nold: I'm sorry... <Character>: It's ok, little dude. Thanks for talking this out with us. I'm also sorry, again, for... beating you up. <Character>: It was a very dire situation! Al'nold: I'm sorry, kitty. Verlyrus: Mrrrow miau! Meow nya! Bubble: I... Bubble: I'm sorry too. For... jumping to conclusions. But you have to understand, you kidnapped my friend. Al'nold: Mhm... Bubble: Yay! All's well that ends well! Trouble: You were very mature, Bubble! I didn't expect this from you! Bubble: I'm full of surprises! Toil: Alrighty then! With the crisis averted, I believe it's time for trick or treating! <Character>: Hold up! <Character>: We're not trick or treating! <Character>: We're freeing the people! Bubble: Oh... right... Al'nold: Freeing...? <Character>: The people your brothers have in cages. Al'nold: Oh... oh no. If you do this, they won't be happy... <Character>: I don't care. Your people are eating my people. To the Void with "tradition". I'm doing this! Al'nold: Oh, I'm not saying I approve of what people of Apsaydaaun are doing... I'm just saying that my brothers will... retaliate in the future. <Character>: I'll cross that bridge when I get to it! <Character>: Alright Sisters! Trick or treating is cancelled! <Character>: Let's free these people! Complete Quest Quest Rewards - opens HA Loot for DCs shop.
