Mother 3 part 16

[cockothenorth]

Pfffhahaha titiboo










Different, isn't it?







Yokuba! D:


Here's Lucas!

He certainly looks older.











Aww.




Hey look, he got dressed!
...he still wears the same clothes.





Sheep: Mehehe

(Us wild animals are afraid of the lightning, but the livestock don't seem to mind it.)

Boney: Roof!

(Lucas, I want to go for a walk. Can I go with you?)



Charred Sheep: Meh!

(The lightning is scary-----!)
So much for them not minding it.


Their old shelter is gone!




Frog: Hey, you over there.
Hang on, shouldn't you be talking in brackets? Do the other frogs do this and I've just missed it until now?

Please come talk to me.

I have something really important to tell you.

Then he hops off screen. THAT FROG MUST BE LURING US INTO A TRAP


Frog: From today, you'll be able to save all the rewards that your hard work bring.

This is called DP (Dragon Power).
:O I get the power of the DRAGON!? Awesome.

DP can be used at stores for merchandise or services.
what
...so I don't get fire breath?

Now you have 30 DP saved up.
This is such a rip-off.

Talk to a frog when you want to withdraw or deposit DP.

There are some frogs in special places which won't be able to help you with that, though.

Do you want me to explain it again? (YES/NO)

Well then, let's try it out.

Ah, time passes so quickly, doesn't it?

Can I help you?

Do you want to save?

Or, is it DP related?

So here's the deposit/withdraw thing. I have a pathetic amount of DP right now, but I'll fix that.


I might as well withdraw a bit. I can't buy much with 10 DP, though.


Might as well save my game, too. We're on chapter 4 now, so we're catching up to that old save!


Man: This is one of the lightning destroyed houses that Tazmily is famous for.
Come to Tazmily! We have lightning!

It really is cool.

I came here just to see this.

Pig-Mask: Your house gets hit by lightning but you still refuse the Box of Happiness.
Happiness is EVIL.

Does that mean you like to be unhappy?
I just don't like being EVIL.

Old Man: Oh, this place is so boring and it stinks of salt air and livestock.

That's the only thing that hasn't changed in the last 3 years.


It's so different!

Man: I think the Inn that was here up until 3 years ago felt newer than this one.



Man: Tamekichi, the bass player from the band DCMC, gives good performances I hear.

Even if he does look poverty-stricken.
Stop rolling your eyes, mister.

what

Pig-Mask: You're the kind of person who likes to approach other people.

No,no. I'm not saying it's bad. I think it's important.
Rule of RPGs: talk to everyone

Pig-Mask: I heard that there used to be pigs and cows on the training ground to the south-east.

. Yokuba was the one who bought the land.

Bessie: I can't believe how much our Inn has changed since Yokuba came here.

We have more customers now, too.

Old Man: Just to think, this village didn't have the Happy Box until three years ago.

Boy: There's a girl here who is soooooo hot. I wonder what her name is?

Punk: I'm in a luxury hotel but I'm feeling really jittery.

It's because all the money I earned in Gohba is in my butt pocket.
Don't just tell random people where your money is, man. For all you know Lucas could be a pickpocket.

Old Man: I'm going to go on a walk with my grandkid to Ooroco

Grandpa on the beach. Hahaha.
Hilarious.

Girl: I was going to change into my bathing suit and go to the beach with my grandpa, but I can't take my eyes off the Happy Box.
nooo the evil




Nicole: My father is working in Gohba, so I'm watching the store.

How can I help you?


aaagh everything is too expensive


How does a paper fan cause strangeness?
That's just...strange.

Hey, a little frog in a car!

COME BACK I WANT TO SAVE MY GAAAAAAAAAME

STOP ALREADY!

Victory!

Mapson: Do you have business with the map-loving, map-holding Mapson?
You haven't changed, Mapson.

I can also talk about things besides maps.
Hey, you couldn't do that before!

For example, Wes is going bald.
Just put a mark on my map already. Come on. For old time's sake.

Yep, sure is. You can count on it.
;_____;

Man: Is there one of those things we put the money in around here?
You mean a frog? You'll have to catch it first, I'm afraid.




Pusher: Hey, Lucas. The lightning loves to strike your house, doesn't it?
It's been burned and charred but you still live there.
It's taking its toll on the image that the village has going here.
But the tourists love it!

Your grandpa is living in that brand-new Silver House. Where is it? Well, it's over there behind that thing.

Elmore: Lucas.

Try not to get in Yokuba's way, OK?

Colonel Pig-Mask: So, you want to join our army?

First, you have to eat a lot and put on some weight.



Hi Fuel! Yeah, he's untranslated. But still! It's Fuel!

I don't think this guy is translated, either. But it's nice to see people we know!


Everything's much more like Earthbound now, isn't it?

Me and the translator are so out of sync. I should have looked at the NPCs translated before going around talking to everyone.

Brenda: So, you're father is still off in the mountains searching for Claus, huh?

You should tell him that it's a waste of time and he should give up.

Lisa: Well, if it isn't Lucas.

As lifeless as usual, aren't you?

If you had the Happy Box, your whole life would change.

Ally: Lucas, Cheese!
What? Does this kid have a camera or something?
REAL photographers say "fuzzy pickles."

Jill: I listen to Yokuba's talk and I start to want everything.
Don't listen to him!

He's like a magician.
An EVIL magician!

He's busy, I guess.






We still have the old bomb stash!

The old folk's home.

Nobody here is translated, so I'll leave this place be. We'll be back!


Stray Dog: Woof!

(I swear the lightning only strikes me.
You should see our sheep.

It must know that I peed on the Happy Box.




Dancing pork.


Pig-Mask: This is our training ground.

What do ya think? Aren't we manly?




Looks like this jail is getting more popular.

As well as better guarded.

Policeman: Don't look at my face from the front.

It'll make me want to arrest you.

Policeman: Huh? There didn't used to be any policemen in this town?

You lie.

Policeman: Long ago some idiot named Flint broke the lock on this door.

That's why I have to stand here and push the door closed.
Haha, wow. Just get a new lock, guys.

Boy: All I did was pick up a doorknob and they charge me with larceny.

Huh? Where is the doorknob?

I don't know.

Maybe they sent it to the lab.

Policeman: Outta my way. Nothing to see here. Annoying kid, go away.

Pig-Mask: All right? Have a good look.
You and that policeman have such conflicting messages.

The wrongdoer's house was judged.

It looks kind of on fire, but it isn't. Those are just the remains of this yellow and red house.

Reggie: The lightning used to be on my side.

But, this lightning is doing bad things to the Reggie.


Ooh!


what was that

A-a bone?

That's just strange.



These people have nothing to say but weird Japanese madness.


A pig who isn't evil or a soldier!


A pair of shoes.

More dolphin bones. Is there any point in these?

Running!






Boy: Are you Lucas?

I heard you were a crybaby.

Please don't look at me that way.

Policeman: I'm the policeman.
THE policeman? There are more than just you, pal.

I'm going to see DCMC's concert at the Club TitiBoo.
It doesn't sound like the sort of place bands perform at.
...I guess it depends on the kind of band, though.

I hope this shift ends soon.

Boy: Over there is a house that can move. It was built to suit any occasion.

There's a guy there always wearing a knit cap. That person can hold on to any items that you don't need for you.

It's better to leave behind items that you don't need instead of walking around with them. He does it out of kindness and takes no money for it.

Keeper Dude: I am your friendly neighborhood Keeper Dude.

I'll take anything you don't need off your hands free of charge.

When you want them back I'll give them right back to you.

What would you like to leave?


I've got plenty of space right now.

I might be wandering around, but if you need something, don't hesitate to ask.




Let's check the forest!




Isack: Regular mice and conventional snakes and common Drago...

..this forest was pretty boring three years ago.
Those animals weren't boring. They were painful.

Hang on, what's this?

S-Slitherhen?


Haha, it died before it even turned around.
That was definitely not a conventional snake.

Anyway, let's do what we're supposed to be doing.


Bronson: What are you talking about, Jackie?

There's no way what you're saying is true.

Jackie: Duster disappeared three years ago, right?

Nobody knows where he is.

No doubt about it.

Bronson: I doubt your no doubt about it.

Hey, Lucas.


Hmm? It's nothing.

Well, at the Club TitiBoo in Gohba there was a bass player who looked just like Duster.

Jackie thinks it is Duster.

Jackie: He really looks just like him.

I think we should tell Wes about it.

Bronson: If it's true then great, but if you're mistaken, you'll get Wes's hopes up for nothing.

Who we saw was a man who looks like Duster.

That's it.

Let's hurry home and watch our Happy Box and eat dinner.

Jackie: I second dinner.

I'm starving.

Bronson: See you, Lucas.

Say hi to Flint for us.

Lady: I heard a rumor that someone was walking around with a lot of food, but wasn't eating it.

Was that you?

You have to eat your food.

It's a benefit of youth.
But all my friends do the same!




Wes: Yokuba!

Stop messing up this town more than you already have.

Today's lightning was very suspicious.

I've watched you control the lightning.

Get out of here!

Don't get involved with this town ever again.

Yokuba: Wes, that blue vein in you forehead is popping.

Why do you run from happiness?

Do you want to go bald?

I have no idea what it is you came here to say.

Now be careful not to fall down and hurt yourself, or go even balder.

Wes! :O

Wes: Stop this insanity!

I'm a man, not a bug.




Gah! Where did the rest of the world go?
Yokuba: Lucas, stop trying to sniff me out.

Stay out of my way!


Lucas, if you would just put a Happy Box in your house, you could become as happy as these folks here.

How long must I wait for that day?

Hey, I want to save!

No, I don't want to race! Stop moving!

Phew.




Nan: Oh, it's Lucas.

Nice to see you too, Boney.

If you're here to see your grandpa, he's on the second floor on the left.


Alec: Lucas, my boy, how are you?

Just now I was having a nap and Nobo from over by the crossroad, was in my dream.
The tall bloke?

You know who I'm talking about, right?

Where is he and what the heck is he doing there?




Wes: Lucas, I'm embarrassed you had to see me like that before.

That Yokuba....I'm not a bug, you know.

He tries to treat me like I'm a stag beetle or something.



Huh? Someone who looked just like Duster?

That turkey...


Lucas, I'm going to lower my voice and tell you a story.

I'm sorry but, could you go and check whether that person really is Duster or not?

I've been marked by Yokuba's henchmen and can't move freely.

Please. Look for the dolt.



If you find Duster, release this pigeon as a sign.

Pigeon: Ooooooo!

(The time has come for me to make my mark on the world.)


Wes: Thanks Lucas. Like I said before, I've been marked.

Well, we've got our mission. Let's go find Duster!
