Elouisa

Did Caleri tell you why we never visit anymore? It has to do with the last time we were out in the field.

I...thought I found a device that ancient Humans used to fly.

Caleri did not believe me and I got angry, so I tested it.

I do not know what would have happened if Chayne had not found me.

Elouisa

The healer, Chayne, says fresh air is good for my mental wellbeing.

I am not sure what is so bad about my mind the way it is, but still, I do not see any harm in going for a walk every once in a while, do you?

Elouisa

The electricity went down in my house, so I am trying to harvest an electric eel to get everything going again.

Player

Don't hurt yourself!

Elouisa

It would not be an adventure without a little risk!

Learning something new is so invigorating.

Player

I bet I can catch one for you.

Elouisa

No need! Learning something new is invigorating.

Einar said I was the worst fisherman he had ever seen. What an accomplishment!

Elouisa

Have you spoken to Einar recently?

I think he may join us for our next excursion.

He cannot pass up the chance to catch a rare fish!

Elouisa

My house is so full of all the whosits and whatsits I have been collecting over the years, I could really use a place to put them all.

The whole community should be able to learn about this stuff…

Elouisa

I cannot talk long - I am just moments away from finding out what is really going on here.

I will let you know what I learn.

Elouisa

With so many cryptids lurking around, I feel like somebody needs to log them...

Good thing you are here!

Missing path for Water dialogue.

Elouisa

You never know what you'll find by the old ruins.

Why the other day I found an old piscephone...

Player

What's that?

Elouisa

TBA

Player

Blub blub blub.

Elouisa

You speak fish?! Guess you do not need this piscephone!

Elouisa

When I was younger, we used to get all sorts of merchants passing through to the Capitol.

Now that boats can get around the island so fast, there is hardly any need to stop.

It is a shame though, they are missing quite the view.

Elouisa

Do not let Zeki fool you with that "Flow detector" nonsense.

If there were really surges of Flow throughout the valley, I think we would all notice.

Player

Would we?

Elouisa

I have all sorts of sensors calibrated to Flow, and nothing has really changed in the valley...

Although some of my sensors in the Elderwood went haywire last month.

I wonder if that is related to the bridge to get there being destroyed...

Player

What surges?

Elouisa

Zeki said something big is happening in the Flow in the Elderwood. I doubt it!

Although the bridge to get there was destroyed recently...

Maybe it is worth an investigation.

Elouisa

I cannot talk now! There is a rare bug nearby, I just know it!

Elouisa

Auni is great at catching bugs, but sometimes I worry he scares away all the cryptids...

I do not want to discourage him, though!

He is so excited about his discoveries... he reminds me of myself when I was little.

Missing path for Water dialogue.

Elouisa

Have you ever seen a lifeless looking Galdur over by the ruins?

Most people say they have been deactivated.

But I think they are just biding their time...

Waiting to strike.

Player

Like... in an evil way?

Elouisa

Einar and Hekla have been nothing but helpful.

Whatever they are waiting to strike against, I believe they are on our side.

Player

That's just a statue.

Elouisa

Information needed

Elouisa

Sometimes thinking about the village keeps me up at night...

There are so many unknowns out here, and nobody else is watching for them.

If any cryptid wants to hurt someone in this village, they’ll have to go through me!

Elouisa

When I was young, my parents would often take Caleri to the Capital without me…

They knew I wanted nothing to do with the Academy, but it was still lonely.

I would come out to spots like this at night, and try to focus on the face that we were still looking at the same set of stars.

Elouisa

My father used to be a local historian. He actually wrote a book on the ruins in this valley.

Of course, his work tended to stick with the academic status quo.

Like Caleri, he was trained by the Academy not to think outside the box.

Player

Who trained you?

Elouisa

He and my mother. I like to think I got the best of both of them…

And if I am the one saying that… well, I only subscribe to a logical amount of superstition.

They… used to fight a lot…

Elouisa

…People often ask why I spend so much time researching my theories.

I suppose if I can prove what I believe is true, then people will not always look at me as if I am crazy.

Player

I don’t think you’re crazy.

Elouisa

That... means a lot.

Thank you.

Seriously.

Player

People are afraid of things they don’t understand.

Elouisa

That is why my work is so important.

I only do this research to protect the village and the people there.

If I can help them learn the truth, they will not have to be afraid anymore.

Elouisa

Thank you for coming around to listen to me ramble. I know it must not be easy all the time.

Elouisa

Someone once told me I was so focused on secrets because I did not want to deal with my own…

One day I will find out what happened to my parents.

First, I need to make sure the village is safe.

Elouisa

I saw Caleri peeking in my notebook the other night. I know she is judging me for what is in there...

The contents of those notes are just theories... I have not proven them out yet.

Elouisa

I just saw the most glorious Proudhorned stag beetle fly away.

I was going to give it to my sister, Caleri.

She could really use some friends...

Elouisa

People say the old well is haunted, but I am convinced the "ghosts" are really just Smallfeet.

I have heard ruckus coming from those wells that sounds like an underground party.

*Sigh* I wish I were invited.

Elouisa

I am looking for a Leafhopper.

I heard you can teach them to chirp in harmony with the proper training.

An entire Leafhopper band! That sure would be something...

Elouisa

So, the insects and the fish around here sensed something was amiss at 10:24pm yesterday.

What is it they sense? Why is it happening? And who is behind it all?

Elouisa

We cannot talk long here, something is watching us.

Player

... What is?

Elouisa

More like who is. You may want to head home while I investigate.

Missing path for Water dialogue.

Elouisa

Caleri and I grew up in this valley, you know.

Some things have changed so much since we were young, and some things remain the same..

Player

What changed?

Elouisa

The neighbors, mostly...

Not that I mind!

New people means fascinating new theories to research...

Player

What's the same?

Elouisa

Information needed

Elouisa asks The Player Questions

Elouisa

Auni got a Bahari Boyz song stuck in my head, and I was up all night.

I cannot stand their music, but simultaneously cannot get enough of it.

What kind of music do you like?

Player

What's music?

Elouisa

Oh, uh...

I would hum you something, but I am not very good...

Player

Anything classical.

Elouisa

You have the same taste as Caleri.

She told me to stop playing her records backwards, but what if there are hidden messages!?

It is for her own safety!

Player

Anything loud!

Elouisa

Nothing drowns out intrusive thoughts like a good ruckus!

Wait... could music be a form of magic mind control?

Player

Anything I can dance to.

Elouisa

You will have to teach me sometime!

There hasn't been much dancing around here recently... you would think Kenli banned it.

Missing path for Fire, Water & Earth dialogue.

Elouisa

What is your favorite constellation? The stars hold so many secrets...

Player

The Lonely Sernuk.

Elouisa

I suppose it is easier to appreciate lonliness [sic] from afar.

That constellation is older than Kilima itself... it was named in Human times.

I often wonder if the sky looked different back then.

Player

The Phoenix!

Elouisa

Information needed

Player

The winking chapaa.

Elouisa

Information needed

Player

One you probably haven't heard about...

Elouisa

Information needed

Missing path for Fire, Water & Air dialogue.

Elouisa

This may sound crazy, but there is no way some ruins around here came from the same period as all the others.

I think the Order must have built them to trick us. But why? What could they be hiding?

Player

Who's the Order?

Elouisa

Information needed

Player

How can you tell it's from a different period?

Elouisa

Information needed

Player

What do you think they're hiding?

Elouisa

The Order does not need a reason to hide things. They think they are helping people...

They are only keeping them in the dark. That is why my work is so important.

Player

Maybe there's a cryptid in there!

Elouisa

Information needed

Elouisa

Have you noticed the dense system of tunnels underneath the village?

Player

The... WHAT?!

Elouisa

You ever notice Zeki disappearing? He goes down there sometimes...

I asked him about it, and he said he would take me exploring!

For a price, of course...

Player

Definitely. Yep.

Elouisa

Well, the book I am reading says they were likely made during the late Human period when life on the surface was considered uninhabitable.

I believe they lived in the tunnels because their skin was so sensitive to light they would die if they were exposed to the sun for more than a few hours.

That or it was a sewer.

Missing path for Fire & Air dialogue.

Elouisa

What do you think the ruins nearby used to be?

Player

A teleporter?

Elouisa

Oh yes, you are right that the early Humans would need some sort of transportation.

And why walk when you can travel instantaneously via Flow?

Player

A theater?

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

A restaurant?

Elouisa

Information Needed

Elouisa

Are you hunting for any cryptids?

What am I saying, of course you are!

Looking for anything in particular?

Player

A rare bug!

Elouisa

Rumor has it, an ancient beetle from your time emerges in the Bahari forest… but only when it rains!

Player

A rare fish!

Elouisa

Einar told me that one afternoon he reeled a unicorn out of the ocean using glow worms...

I never saw it though.

Player

A rare forageable!

Elouisa

There is apparently type[sic] of peat that can hatch drakes early.

Someone told me that mature drakes rub it off in bogs or on beaches...

If you find some, maybe we will not have to wait another 100 years for a hatching!

Missing path for Water dialogue.

Elouisa

I was just thinking about cryptids. Which do you want to know more about?

Player

The Flothman.

Elouisa

Ugh... the Flothman. Half Flothinger, half Majiri.

If you find any broken bridges around here, that is likely his work.

Player

Dawnstumblers!

Elouisa

Have you ever seen a shadow in the corner of your eye during a sunrise?

My sister just calls it "sunglare", but I know better.

That is a dawnstumbler trying to communicate! Make sure to say hello back.

Player

Creepees.

Elouisa

Creepees only nest in dark places, and hate the light. That is what gives them their name!

If one ever chases you, be sure to drop any fish you are carrying.

Creepees love eating fish!

Player

Rasquells.

Elouisa

Information Needed

Missing Water dialogue.

Elouisa

If I do open a museum, what should I put in it?

Player

Great Works of Art!

Elouisa

I do not know...culture is more my sister's thing.

BUT I could be on board with an art exhibit devoted to artist [sic] who hid hidden messages in their work.

Player

Human Relics. You already have a bunch of those.

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

Fish and Bugs

Elouisa

It could be an aquarium and insectarium all wrapped into one wonderarium!

Missing Fire, Air dialogue.

Elouisa

What is your favorite Cryptid?

Player

Flothingers.

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

Coelacanths.

Elouisa

A cryptid in your time, maybe, but they are extinct now. Unless maybe Humans hid them somewhere...

But that would be crazy, right?

Player

The Beast of the Elderwood.

Elouisa

Did... you make that up? I have not heard of this creature. I must find a route to the Elderwood posthaste!

Player

Me!

Elouisa

Information Needed

Elouisa

Have you seen any Duskwings about?

Player

Aren't Duskwings only out at dusk?

Elouisa

I know it is daytime, but I am looking for the rare daytime Duskwing.

Player

No sign of any.

Elouisa

Let me know if you see one, I am looking for the rare daytime Duskwing.

I just love creatures who play by their own rules.

Missing paths for Air dialogue.

Elouisa

I’m doing a survey!

What is the weirdest creature you have ever seen?

Player

A giant flaming bird!

Elouisa

Wait… you… actually saw the Phoenix?!?

I need to know what she was like!

If you remember more about her, please come chat with me.

Player

A chapaa wearing a hat.

Elouisa

Information needed

Player

A living triangle with an eyeball.

Elouisa

Intriguing. I have only seen a living triangle that could dance.

Perhaps they are two of the same species...

We will call them... Triangulus Rex!

Player

A platypus.

Elouisa

Very funny. I know the platypus is Human myth.

A creature with legs that do not match, a duck bill, and the ability to glow in the dark?

That is out there, even for me.

Missing path for Fire dialogue.

Elouisa

I am searching for a Paddleflop. Have you seen one around here?

Player

Why do you ask?

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

How will I know?

Elouisa

If you see something odd rummaging around a chapaa den, that may be it.

Paddleflops are known to pilfer stolen trinkets back from them.

A chapaa took off with my prototype electroflowmometer yesterday, and I am hoping to find it.

Missing path for unmarked, Fire and Air dialogue.

Elouisa

You caught me at a good time... I was about to go set a trap for the Wyworm.

What do you think I should bait it with?

Glowworms.

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

Me!

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

What's a Wyworm?

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

A good book.

Elouisa

I have heard the Wyworm is an avid collector of ancient tomes...

Maybe I can slip something out of Caleri's library!

Missing path for other option.

Elouisa

Heads or tails? Do not think, just answer!

Elouisa

Information Needed

Elouisa

I agree, I am always envious I do not have a tail of my own.

Elouisa

Do you want 100 carrots?

Player

Where did you get them?

Elouisa

You would be surprised what you can find in people’s trash.

Badruu just put a bunch of carrots in the dirt and called it a day.

He is lucky I found them and pulled them out before someone tripped on one.

Player

...What?

Elouisa

I got them for a project, but I think I need to use turnips instead.

Zeki will not buy them...

Maybe I will just give them to the chapaas around the village.

Missing path for Fire dialogue.

Elouisa

If you were cursed, what kind of curse would you want?

Player

A weird one.

Elouisa

I once read about a curse that caused any blanket the victim slept under to turn into cheese…

I do not think I would mind that one so much.

I would certainly save a lot of money at Ashura’s…

Player

A scary one!

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

An unlucky one.

Elouisa

Sometimes I feel like I already have one of those on me…

I just try to remind myself that we make our own luck.

Player

Uh... no curse?

Elouisa

Well if you ever do get cursed, I have plenty of artifacts to remove them!

Stop by if you stumble into the wrong ruin.

Elouisa

You are just in time for the hunt!

Have you heard of the Doomcrumbler?

Player

Yes, it’s my friend.

Elouisa

Your friend? You must be very lucky indeed!

The last person I know who befriended a Doomcrumbler wound up… crumbled.

If you see it around, ask if it will help me against the Brightfiends…

Player

No, what’s that?

Elouisa

The Doomcrumbler is a creature from the Elderwood that tries to clear away evil by crumbling it to bits.

If you have good intentions in your heart, you have nothing to fear.

I was hoping maybe I could enlist it to fight against the Brightfiends...

Elouisa

Have you ever learned something you wish you did not?

Player

Yes.

Player

No.

Wisdom is a blessing and a curse.

I still do not believe the Academy or the Order should be hoarding it.

It should be everyone’s choice whether to know something or not!

Elouisa

I can not tell you why I am asking this, but…

Are you afraid of the dark?" [sic]

Player

That’s a suspicious question.

Elouisa

I am just making sure! Our research may require extensive night work.

I made a mistake once not asking... one I do not want to repeat.

Player

Yes.

Elouisa

There is no reason to be afraid!

It is the things that hide in the dark that you should worry about.

Player

No!

Elouisa

Excellent! The best of the supernatural hides in the shadows.

Together, I believe we can uncover any mystery!

Player

Depends.

Elouisa

Well, always feel free to tell me you need to turn back.

Just... do not leave me out there alone, ok?

Elouisa

Caleri and I cannot be in a room together for 5 minutes before we start bickering.

Do you ever fight with your siblings, (Player)?

Player

Who doesn’t?!

Elouisa

I suppose so. The important thing is trying to understand their viewpoint, even if you disagree.

I just wish Caleri put a little more effort into understanding me…

Player

I don’t have siblings. Just amnesia.

Elouisa

Lucky you!

If you see Caleri around, tell her I am sorry about yesterday.

Missing path for Earth, Air and Water dialogue.

Elouisa

If someone around here had a secret, who do you think it would be?

Player

Elouisa

Ha! Secrets are for the closed minded.

If I learn something, I make sure everyone knows about it.

Elouisa

Tell me, what was it like living underground?

I never lived underground!

Elouisa

Of course, we will talk about it when you are ready.

Player

Elouisa

(TBD)

Missing path for Fire dialogue.

Elouisa

Reth told me he thinks my sister Caleri and I are actually the same person.

Do you think this could be true?

Player

No way!

Elouisa

(TBD)

Player

Reth has some wild ideas...

Elouisa

Do you think he is just "messing" with me?

I suppose that means he may be... my friend?

That would mean I have two friends. Double the amount I had before!

Hopefully I can handle my newfound popularity...

Specific Time

At Night

Elouisa

"When things are at their darkest, your light shines brightest."

An old friend used to say that to me.

Kilima is so beautiful at night…

At Night

Elouisa

Be careful out there tonight.

When the moon is like this, the Brightfiends are twice as active.

Specific Location

Standing near the pond south of Mirror Fields

Elouisa

I am not fishing for fish, but for artifacts.

Did you know that I once found a pair of old boots that used to belong to the great Queen of Akwindu?

Yep, they had the letter M engraved into them.

Caleri thinks it was a "W," but I am convinced it was an upside down "M."

Player

What does the M stand for?

Elouisa

Queen Binti kept her last name secret to all...

Rumor has it, she never wanted anyone to know whether she took her suitor's last name.

Those boots may be the key to discovering his identity!

Player

What would the W stand for?

Elouisa

That is how I know Caleri was wrong.

According to record, the Queen's last name started with "M". It is just not possible.

Unless this boot belongs to the Wyworm...

I need to go look into something!

I am sorry to ask this, but…

Have you ever lost a friend?

<tabber>

Player

Yes, and it still hurts.

Elouisa

Perhaps we really are kindred spirits.

Letting people go is hard. When I was a kid, I always thought...

I guess I just thought more people would try to stick around.

Player

Yes, but I got over it.

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

Yes, but eventually I made another!

Elouisa

I guess I did too…

Thanks for being my paranormal pal.

Player

Not yet.

Elouisa

Well, for whatever it is worth, I am not going anywhere.

If you ever need anything, come let me know.

Elouisa

It’s nice to have a friend. Even if that friend is a 10,000 year old mutant from a boiling underground lake.

During Elouisa Friendship Level 2 Quest: Crawly Conundrum

Elouisa

If you are still looking for insects, might I suggest looking over by Bahari Bay?

I would go there myself, but sadly Caleri has forbidden me from going into the field.

Player

Why?

Elouisa

Something about how my last find out there almost got us killed.

Do not worry about it! I am sure you will be fine.

Missing paths for Water and Fire dialogue.

Elouisa

I have been thinking about the specimens you gave me…

If everyone could see them, maybe they would believe in our investigations.

We need a space dedicated to mystery... perhaps a shack of some sort...

If only someone opened something like that…

Player

You should do it!

Elouisa

Me!? I... I...

Do you really think people would like that?

Player

The Academy would be mad…

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

I really need somewhere to put my bugs.

Elouisa

That is simply the scientific process! Although a larger space would allow me to give them better homes…

Player

I bet Caleri would help you!

Elouisa

Information Needed

Player

People like museums, and mystery.

Elouisa

A museum! That would be perfect…

Perhaps I will consider this further…

Elouisa

I have not been able to decode any messages from our buggy friends just yet, but I can definitely sense they are trying to tell me something.

I wanted to let you know little Steve is doing well.

He is eating all the food I provide him. And he even seems to be forming a bit of a romance with Leif!

Apparently Zeki forbade his mother from selling me more of them, so we will have to make our own for everyone else.

I already asked Sifuu if she could put together a mold!

Player

No!

Elouisa

Hmmm....

Try asking Zeki, Tamala, or Kenli.

They all seem like potential Brighteyes targets! If one of them is replaced, Kilima could fall apart.

Elouisa

I heard you and Jina have been working on retrieving the bones of a supposed Glow Whale that died off the coast of Bahari Bay?

Pin Reactions

Any Pin

Elouisa

I see you are wearing a pin. My brooch used to be a pin.

The girl who made it is not around anymore though... she left to explore the world.

And I... I am far too sensitive to the Grimalkin's Flow based communication technology to leave this valley for good.

At least, that is what I told myself...
