I now have an index for all my screencappy antics. Here! Now you can access the previous...which you could already do since they're not that hard to find. Oh well!

Aaargh, drago is tough.

You're going down, Drago.

Here are Flint's current stats.

I really could have done with this before.

All I have now is a lousy +2 stick for a weapon.

...and now the new lumber! I'm in love. I couldn't care less about that speed drop.

I don't need you any more.

I did alot of beating up stuff before my second drago attempt.

Yessss.

Why does everyone keep leaving bits of their clothing behind?

ROUND 2

FIGHT!

Take that, drago!

Ow fire.

Blah blah blah fighting.

Oh boy look at that damage.

Woooaaah!

Hurrah!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Flint's ready to finish drago off. But look, it's Baby!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Alec: Flint, don't...

...that baby is Claus's and Lucas's friend.

He's no threat to us...

Flint you can not resist that cuteness.

Let's randomly go over here for a second.

Wait wha-

Claaaaauuuus. D:

"The people of Tazmily Village had never known grief like this. On days either rainy or sunny, people greeted each other with a smile.

They were friends with all the living creatures in the forest. The strong helped the weak and anything necessary was supplied.

This was life how they knew it. However, now they all shared the grief and the same feeling that things were going from bad to worse.

But since when? From where? What and why? Why were things changing? The creatures of the forest now look like strange robotic toys.

The humans were being pounced upon. There was even a family that had been severed apart.

What were the things behind the pig masks?

What were those odd UFOs flying through the beautiful sky?

The riddles lead to only more riddles and this story opens with a tragedy."

Claus ;______;

Now this is familiar.

Duster: I'm not sure really what to say. But, I'm really sorry about Hinawa. I can't say I know what you're going though.

Hinawa's burial is finished. Lucas has been constantly crying in front of her grave.

I think his little heart is going to break apart
He's a poet and he doesn't even know it!

If I can ever do anything for you again, don't be afraid to ask.

Flint can TALK!?

Flint: Duster...thanks.

Why didn't we hear this before?

Wes: Duster, my son. No...my apprentice.

Listen up! The time has come.

Not like I was particularly waiting for this moment. Actually, I hoped it would never come.

In any rate, this is the time we've have been preparing for.

It is time for you to try out all those skills I taught you.

I'm still not sure who the enemy is, but it's up to us to face it.

Do you feel ready? (YES/NO)

Duster, I am going to give you a job to do. I want you to sneak into the Osohe Castle.

I want you to find "THE IMPORTANT THING" and bring it back here.

THE IMPORTANT THING is...well, there's no need to tell you what it is.

A thief must be able to sense the worth of that which he is going to steal.

If you can't, well...there's nothing more I can teach you.

Do you want to hear a little more? (YES/NO)

The thing is supposed to be incredibly valuable. Maybe it...shines a little?

Possibly.... That's all I can tell you for now.

I've prepared some things for you in the basement.

Some thief paraplegics... no, I mean paraphernalia.

How many were there again? Oh well, it makes no difference.

They'll come in handy during battles.

Finally, Wes. Stop talking.

If you say "no" to Wes' first question, he says something quite interesting.
Duster...
It might've been better if we'd been born in a different time.
I pushed you in your training when you were young, and the limp in your leg, as well as the fact that you don't fit in with the other people in town, is all my fault...
at least, that's what I think.
If you want to resent me, then by all means, resent me.
If that makes you feel better then resent me all you want.
However...you cannot decide your own answer.

Duster, listen carefully!
This is not a test. It is a command.
What is this mysterious training incident that limp'd Duster? We'll probably never know.

Anyway, time to get those thief paratroopers or whatever.

These thief paragraphs are items that we can use in battle. Infinitely. They're like PSI abilities only they don't need PP.
The pendulum makes enemies fall asleep. I believe it also lets you listen to their heartbeat, making combos easier. Didn't work for me, of course.

This decreases the enemy's defence.

This decreases the enemy's offence.

This makes enemies cry more than someone playing Chapter 1 of this game while chopping onions. Which makes them less likely to hit you.

The Siren Beetle makes an enemy turn around, making them unable to attack for a few turns.

Anyway, on with the show.

Hey look, a present!

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEESE

Stray Dog: WOooo!!!

It's my instinct to bark and bark. I know it's really loud.

Could it be that your job is a...

Mapson: Do you have business with the map-loving, map-holding Mapson?

Oh, Duster. You always did like to go out walking at night.

So, you want to go to Osohe Castle? I'll mark it on your map for you.

I'm not going to ask why you're going there in the middle of the night.

But, you do know that the drawbridge is raised, right?

There is, however, a rumor of an underground passage that leads into the castle.

Tutoriole: Tweet!

(In the heat of battle it is easy to forget to use items.

Has this happened to you?

If you want to know more about your items, open the menu and read the descriptions. And now, in parting...) Tweet!

Mystery Man: Oh...I wasn't looking where I was going. Please excuse me. Salsa, let's be on our way.

Sorry, sorry. I apologize again but I am in a hurry.

Please excuse me. Salsa, let's be on our way.

We'll see more of these two later.

Salsa leaves reluctantly.

Butch: Oh, Duster! I want to tell you something but you can't tell anyone else. Look at this. This bag!

What do you think is in it? It's money. MONEY!!!! Do you know what money is?

What? You don't even know what money is? To tell you the truth...I'm not really sure myself what it is.

It's something that was never in Tazmily Village. I think that it's going to be come the Money Age.

You just wait and see. Huh? What is the Money Age? Well, I exchanged my pig for this.

With that traveler. He took a great interest in my pig. You cried and begged me to trade him for this bag of money.
...what? Maybe that "you" is a "he"? That was probably a weird translation error.
