A Dreamy Story

Hmph! I'm annoyed, I recently experienced something strange, but noone believes in me! Please listen to my story! - Manus

Manus
You came sooner than I thought you would. So then, will you hear my story?
It was a particularly strange event that occurred not too long ago.
It's going to be a long story. Shall I begin?

> Prompt: Listen to his story or Talk about something else

> Prompt: Listen to his story

(You choose to listen to Manus's story.)

Manus
Well, I was going about my usual exercise routine in the outskirts of Dunbarton.


Manus
Suddenly, three young women came running out from the entrance to Rabbie Dungeon.
I had never seen these women before in my life, but they ran up to me and begged for help.
Apparently, one of their friends went into the dungeon several days ago and hasn't been seen since.
I simply couldn't say no to them... I-I mean, what would you do in that situation?
Anyway, I agreed to help them, and they nearly jumped for joy.
They led me back to the entrance of Rabbie Dungeon and asked me to follow them inside.
One of the women dropped a strange pass onto the altar, and then the unbelievable happenned...
We entered Rabbie Dungeon, but it looked completely different than the Rabbie Dungeon I've seen before! It was very peculiar, to say the least.
In any case, I followed them into the dungeon and arrived at a closed door. As I examined it, it began opening from the inside.
I didn't know what to expect. Could it be a Fomor? I must admit, I was quite nervous.
Given the unsettling atmosphere of the dungeon, I was prepared to face some sort of horrific monster.
However, all my expectations were shattered when out of the door emerged a tiny succubus!
And when I say 'tiny', I'm not exaggerating. This thing was maybe a fraction of my height.
...
You don't believe me, do you? But it's all true!
Nerys didn't believe me either, you know... What am I going to do it you don't?
I have no reason to make any of this up, so please, try to believe me.
It looked like an ordinary succubus, but it was just very small. Almost like a miniature version of the real thing.
And this is what that little demon said to me...
'The Queen doesn't like outsiders. Leave before you make her angry.'
I had no idea what that possibly could've meant. Queen? Angry? What had I done?
But the women I came with didn't want any part of it. They ran out of the dungeon, screaming all the way.
They just sort of... abandoned me... They didn't even look back. Besides, wasn't their friend still trapped in the dungeon?


Manus
I looked back at the succubus, except now, there were THREE of them! I didn't notice the other two show up, and they just walked away from me.
I was utterly baffled. Where in the world was I? Who is this queen? And what about the women I came in with? Were THEY the succubi?
It was far too much to process... I was still wrapping my head around this brand new Rabbie Dungeon.
Before I knew it, I was already outside the dungeon, and in my pocket were a few of the passes like the women had. I don't know how I got them...
Without full comprehension of what just happened, I returned to the Healer's House, and Nerys happened to be there.
She was probably waiting to buy some potions, but that had to wait. I told her about all the strange things that happened in the dungeon.
But Nerys didn't even pretend to believe me! She looked at me like I was insane!
It was a little discouraging to hear that, especially from her. She needs to learn to be a little less uptight.
Regardless, I wasn't just going to brush the whole thing off. I went back to Rabbie Dungeon and dropped one of the passes.
But for some strange reason, nothing happened... Perhaps different passes work in different ways?
After a while, I sort of came to my senses and realized that being in that dungeon alone is way too dangerous.
All it takes is a wrong step, and I could be stuck in a trap or surrounded and pummeled by Fomors.
I know this is where you have lots of experience, (Character Name). Braving dungeons is something you're quite familiar with.
You're better off investigating this matter than I am, so please take all the passes I have left.
I don't want people to think I'm some crazy liar, especially Nerys! She's much more likely to take your word over mine anyhow.
So then, will you be heading to the dungeon? Time is short. These passes don't last forever...
I believe you can make new ones using the Handicraft skill, but without knowing what all the materials are, it seems that these 3 passes are all that's left for now.

> Prompt: Receive Later or Receive Now

> Receive Now

(You say you'll take the passes now.)

Manus
If you're going to be heading into that dangerous place, you'll need to be fully prepped and stocked.
You wouldn't want to go in unprepared only to return to me to have your wounds treated...
That would be quite a shame! Hahaha!
All right, (Character Name). Make sure you're ready to go. Don't forget that you need to use these passes as soon as you receive them!

> Prompt: Receive Later or Receive Now

> Receive Now

Manus
Okay, now you're goo to--No! Wait, one more thing.
So much is going on that I forgot to tell you that I also talked to those dungeon researchers. Well, they didn't have anything very useful to say, but they did find some passes that looked similar. Here, take one! Apparently, from what they can tell, you can use these passes to practice the dungeon.
The passes are almost the same, but not exactly, see? So, the researchers think that they'll lead to a dungeon that is almost, but not quite, the same as the place I went. And you can never have too much practice! That's what I think.
The researchers said that they had more of these almost-identical passes, so they'd probably sell you some if you need more!
Okay! I swear that's all I had to say. Let me know after you visit the real thing, haha!

(You delve into Rabbie Phantasm and see for yourself. With the knowledge on hand, you go talk to Nerys about the dungeon.)

Nerys
What's going on? I saw you coming out of the Healer's House...
If you're here after talking to Manus, I already have an idea of what happened...

> Prompt: Talk about Manus or Talk about something else

> Prompt: Talk about Manus

(You say you want to talk about Manus's story.)

Nerys
Is this about that succubus story?
Look, I know Manus thinks I'm saying he's crazy, but his story just doesn't make a lot of sense.
I saw a succubus once, and trust me, those things aren't tiny at all. And why would those women abandon their friend after Manus agreed to help them?
It just doesn't add up. Plus, no one else has ever mentioned the drastic changes in Rabbie Dungeon before Manus.

> Prompt: Manus just wants attention or You are mistaken or Manus is a weirdo

Manus just wants attention (Need Complete)[show]

Manus is a weirdo (Need Complete)[show]

> Prompt: You are mistaken

(You tell Nerys that she's mistaken about Manus's story.)

Nerys
(Character Name)... Do you really think so?
You must have your reasons for saying that, right?

> Prompt: Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon or Maybe Manus was dreaming

Maybe Manus was dreaming (Need Complete)[show]

> Prompt: Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon

(You explain about the Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon.)

Nerys
...So you're saying this place DOES exist?
After your explanation, I guess Manus wasn't lying about everything, but I'm not sure what parts to believe.
And what's the deal with this queen of the succubus? Is she some kind of figure in Fomor legends?
Did you get to see what she looked like, (Character Name)?
...Ah, never mind that. I'll go talk to Manus myself and clear up any misunderstandings.
Anyways, it must be hard doing what you do... Running errands, resolving conflicts, and whatnot.
By the way, if you're trying to learn more about that Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon, why not speak to someone who might know more about the succubi?
And be sure you keep me in the loop about the details surrounding the dungeon and the succubi!

(You head to the church and speak to Kristell.)

Kristell
What may I help you with?

> Prompt: Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon or Talk about something else

> Prompt: Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon

(You tell her about the Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon, the Succubus Queen, and the Succubus Fiends.)

Kristell
...?
Did you truly experience something like this?
Forgive me, I'm a touch confused. I don't quite know what it is you saw.
But since you were the one who went through it, I know that it must be the truth.
However...
When you spoke of this 'Succubus Queen,' I felt a strange sense of nostalgia in my heart...
But my life is dedicated to the good and the holy now! These words should not affect me as they do...
But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued, and lying is a sin.
...(Character Name).
If you discover anything else about the Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon or the Succubus Queen, please share your findings with me.
I may not understand these wistful feelings I'm having, but I deserve to know the truth about them.

(You delve once again in Rabbie Phantasm Dungeon. This time, you linger to speak with the Queen.)

Succubus Queen
...
Why... Why won't you just go back to where you came from? All I wish is for you to leave here quietly and peacefully.
Why do you insist on staying here?
You've piqued my curiosity.
So tell me, why are you here?

> Prompt: I have a question or Ignore

(You tell her you have something to ask.)

Succubus Queen
Pardon? You have something to ask of me?
I honestly don't know what you could want to know.
...
Very well. But this is only because you bested me.


(You want to ask the Succubus Queen about...)

> Prompt: Is this Rabbie Dungeon?

(You ask if this is Rabbie Dungeon.)

Succubus Queen
Oh, yes, It's most certainly Rabbie Dungeon...
But it may not be the same Rabbie Dungeon everyone knows... It exists in a different place, sort of like an unseen dimension.
In the past, travelers would become lost in Rabbie Dungeon and would somehow wind up here on accident.
However, they'd soon forget all that transpired and would be convinced it was all a dream.
The most recent adventurer to pass through said the same thing... that it all felt like a dream.

> Prompt: What happened to the adventurer? or What is the Skelemancer?

> Prompt: What happened to the adventurer?

(You ask what had happened to the adventurer.)

Succubus Queen
I convinced him that this wasn't a place for outsiders, so he left. That was that.
There's nothing for you to worry about.
...
Why are you giving me that look?
I didn't think it was possible to come here using a pass... I must say, you really surprised me.
Are you not one of the Tuatha de Danann?
...
Will you say nothing?
...Very well. In any case, this place is not suited for your kind.
Now will you kindly take your leave? I must tend to the wounded...

> Prompt: Ask another question or End Conversation

> Prompt: Ask another question

(The conversation loops back to 'Is this Rabbie Dungeon?')

> Prompt: What is the Skelemancer?

(You ask about the Skelemancer.)

Succubus Queen
Hm?
Why are you asking me about that?
He's a kind being who always heeds my call.
He creates the illusions you see to protect this dungeon from outsiders.

(You must find and use Succubus Scriptures to go beyond this point. You must use a scripture, then speak with the queen.)

Succubus Scriptures: The First Rumor

Succubus Scriptures
Look! It's one of those strange-looking human thingies! How should we deal with our little intruder?
Let's make it go crazy like we did to that other adventurer! We can turn it unto our brand new puppet!
Let's throw it into a pit of snakes! Or spiders! Humans hate spiders, right?
We have to tell the Queen! She should know about all this!

> On-screen Text: Ask about the tiny Succubi.

Succubus Scriptures: The Second Rumor

Succubus Scriptures
Did you see the Queen's face? She looked so lonely! Is she okay? I'm worried about her!
She had a smile on her face not too long ago... I wonder what happened to her?
Nothing happened to her! Gosh! Can't you see the bigger picture?
What do you mean?
When a woman has a look like that on her face, it's because she desperately needs a man in her life.
Wow, when you say things like that, it sounds like you really know what you're talking about.
Ahem!
Don't you remember what happened the last time it was a guy problem?
No! What happened? Ugh, this is what I get for sleeping all the time.
Remember when we brought back that muscly guy from the Dunbarton outskirts? We totally got scolded for that!
Well, maybe she just didn't think he was that cute! I hear that the Royal Guard Captain of Emain Macha is pretty good-looking...
You guys can do whatever you want! I don't want any part in it!

Succubus Scriptures: The Third Rumor

Succubus Scriptures
I... I just thought of something very important to ask!
What is it?
Has anyone ever seen the Queen outside of Rabbie Dungeon?
A friend of a friend walks outside the dungeon entrance every day and has never seen her.
Seriously? I bet she's never even experienced the outside world.
Do you guys REALLY think she's not even a little interested in the world outside the dungeon?
Honestly, you guys are idiots. The Queen has always said that the outside world was a dangerous place!
You're the idiot, idiot! As long as we disguise ourselves as humans, we can do whatever we want without worrying about danger!
You're BOTH idiots! It's okay if WE get into a little trouble, but nothing bad can happen to the Queen, or else we'll all...
ACK! Don't say it! I don't want to imagine it!
Now I won't be able to sleep tonight! Thanks a lot! Maybe I'll ask the Queen if I can stay in her chambers...

Succubus Scriptures: The Fourth Rumor

Succubus Scriptures
What do you think it's like being the Succubus Queen? I get way too excited just thinking about it!
Snap out of it, you daydreaming ditz!
Ditz?! I don't think the Queen would appreciate that!
You know, all I can dream about is having big, beautiful wings like the Queen has.
Pff, keep dreaming! Do you have any idea what it takes to become a Succubus Queen?
I'll be the Succubus Queen one day... You'll all see...
Whoa. Creepy. And besides, I'd make a better Succubus Queen than anyone!
NO! It's going to be ME!
Shut up! That's MY future!
I'll kill you all!
You guys really get worked up over stupid matters. You know what I'm going to do? Protect the Queen like I'm supposed to!
Yeah, same here! I'll protect the Queen for all eternity! How about you guys?
That sounds great and all, but someone does have to become the new Succubus Queen. I wonder who it will be...
