Najuma

Auni's always going on about wanting to leave the valley

Sometimes I don't understand that kid...

His family is EAGER to teach him their trade.

So I don't get what the problem is.

Najuma

I finally caved into Auni’s Bug Scouts, and it ended up being way more fun than I thought.

He gave me some smoke bombs to tinker with, and I think I can make them twenty percent more effective at catching mantises!

Najuma

I try to avoid Auni when I’m working because he’s soooo distracting.

But there was one time he wouldn’t leave me alone. He just had to deliver a carrot to me!

Tish said he might have a crush on me. Ew!

But it turns out, he was delivering it for my dad who just trying to make sure I was eating right.[sic]

Najuma

Ugh! Dad keeps telling me it isn’t safe for me to go into the mines.

But how do I learn proper safety techniques if he doesn’t even let me try!!!!

Najuma

You know, I never went to school for making explosives.

My mom taught me the basics and the rest of the ideas just came to me, I guess.

Missing Earth dialogue.

Najuma

You might want to stand back.

I’m working on my latest invention and I’m not entirely sure this thing is stable.

Player

What does your invention do?

Najuma

Hmm... good question.

I’ll let you guess. What do you think it does?

Player

It lets you breathe underwater.

Najuma

Interesting answer, but no. It’s a new kind of firework.

Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll actually get to test it out without my dad freaking out...

Player

It makes you fly.

Najuma

Interesting answer, but no. It’s a new kind of firework.

Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll actually get to test it out without my dad freaking out...

Player

It communicates with ghosts.

Najuma

Interesting answer, but no. It’s a new kind of firework.

Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll actually get to test it out without my dad freaking out...

Player

Why don’t you just tell me?

Najuma

Najuma

I made a timed explosives system for last year’s Midsummer pageant.

That way all the pyrotechnics are in an automated loop. This year, they won’t even need me!

Najuma

There was this one time I was trying to work on this new explosive.

But I couldn't find my goggles anywhere!

I had to resort to asking my dad for help. Sheesh, that was embarrassing.

He tracked them down though! That thieving chapaa didn't know what hit him!

Najuma

Sometimes I get tempted to make something like the stuff I see in the ruins.

The ancient Humans had so many cool inventions!

But they ALL required Flow to work. And I am not ABOUT to get my butt hunted down by the Order.

I have way too much stuff I want to accomplish before I die than to risk that.

Najuma

Right now I’m working on a new kind of firework.

One that sings a song when it gets detonated.

You wanna see how it works?

Najuma

I’m so tired of people being weird about my leg! It doesn’t mean I’m useless!

I get it. They’re just concerned about me. Like, sometimes the stump will hurt, or I’ll feel like I still have my old one.

Even on good days, it’s a lot of work to maintain a prosthetic, even just putting it on and taking it off.

But I want everyone to know I’m not afraid of hard work! The leg is proof, see?

Najuma

I mined and smelted every piece of ore in my leg.

It feels more like my leg than the one I was born with sometimes.

Najuma

I don't really have a "best friend" in town. I'm not really into labels.

But I like going in town to visit Jel and Tish. They both have such cool things in their shops.

And...they talk to me like a grown up, unlike everybody else around here.

Missing Air and Earth dialogue.

Najuma

You know, an inventor's job is to make stuff to help people! Maybe I could help you out one day...

Player

I want to try that glider you made earlier!

Najuma

You bet!

I just need to work out a few bugs...

Player

I could use some help around my house.

Najuma

You bet! I just need to, well...

What do you do around your house, anyway?

Player

I'd like to talk to animals.

Najuma

Player

Don't worry about me.

Najuma asks The Player Questions

Missing dialogue for second option.

Najuma

Do you ever fight with any of your family like I fight with my dad?

Player

My mom.

Najuma

Me and my mom used to fight all the time too.

But now that she's gone, I wish I could take back every harsh word I ever said.

Player

My dad.

Najuma

Information Needed

Player

A sibling.

Najuma

Well, I wouldn't know what that's like. I'm an only child.

You should feel lucky you even HAVE siblings.

Player

I don’t have any family.

Najuma

Oh. I-I’m sorry.

As much as I get annoyed, I don’t know what I’d do without my dad.

Specific Time

In the early morning

Najuma

It is way too early... or did I stay up too late?

But you know, sometimes you get a brilliant idea and you just have to write it down.

And then it takes a couple more hours to draw it accurately...

In the morning

Najuma

My dad said you were pretty good at fishing.

It's not for me. Way too much waiting around, doing nothing!

But you're my friend, so I want to help you out as much as I can!

Have you seen the Dawnrays? I hear they're super rare fish that only come out at this hour, great for a fisher like you!

In the evening

Najuma

Every day, by the time the sun goes down, I am always so, so, so hungry!

When I was little, my mom always had an apple ready for me, just in case.

My dad sometimes had nuts, but I think it was just leftover chapaa bait. He'll never admit that, though.

I can't wait for dinner! Using this much brainpower requires a lot of energy!

Najuma

I'd love to show you my new firework, but it's too loud. My dad'll be so mad if he catches me out this late.

But what do you think of these sketches? I'm working on a new shoe that'll let me sneak in and out of the house whenever I want!

At night

Najuma

My dad might not like when I'm up late, but I just love the lantern bugs!

I think it's one of the best things about living in Bahari Bay.

Auni wanted me to catch one for him, but I think they're so much prettier when they get to fly wherever they want.

Friendship Level 3-4

Friendship Level 3 or Higher

Najuma

Sometimes, my mom would go into the mines to look for Flowstones.

My Dad didn't like it. He thought it was more dangerous than looking for regular ol' copper and flint.

Never stopped my mom, though! She even brought me a pebble once that was filled with Flow. It was so pretty!

Don't tell anyone, but I keep it in my pocket when I need a bit of good luck.

Najuma

I know me and my dad will be okay eventually.

We always are.

I just wish I could get him to trust me.

Friendship Level 4

Najuma

I'm glad we're friends. Things could get a bit lonely before you Humans came along...

Najuma

Wow, it feels like I can tell you anything. My mom listened to all my ideas when I was a kid.

Pretty sure my dad was only pretending to listen. He still gets a glazed look in his eyes if I say the word, "blueprints."

It's fine. I mean, I was a kid, so I’m sure a lot of what I said wasn’t exactly interesting.

But my mom said listening to me inspired her to develop a new kind of dynamite that she ended up using almost every day.

Can you believe it? I was an inventor already, and I didn't even know it!

I-I'm not really in the mood. Me and my dad got into a fight. But I don't really feel like talking about it...

Najuma

Sorry to bug you about this, but have you talked to my dad yet?

I feel really useless right now and I HATE feeling useless.

After Najuma's Friendship Level 4 Quest Survivor's Guilt

Najuma

Can I tell you a secret?

Don’t tell my dad! But after the funeral, I snuck out to check the cave-in where my mom died.

It was mostly rubble, but I found something. It was real beat up, but I knew it was the pin my dad gave her when they first fell in love.

At first, I thought maybe I should bring it to him, but then I decided it was better to leave it there.

I hope it’s still there for him to find one day. I think it’d help.
