Dialogue

Upon talking to Elouisa.

Player
Did you... bury a lightbulb?
Elouisa
Oh. Which one did you find?
Player
How many did you bury!?
Elouisa
How else would I recycle them? There was Juuno... Jermaan... Jaanis...
Hmmm... about 17 of them?
Let me see that one..
Oh... this was not mine. It must have been from...
Florentine~

Player
It was in a wooden box with odd markings.
Elouisa
Let me see that one..
Oh... this was not mine. It must have been from...
Florentine!
Player
The guy who lived on my housing plot?!
Elouisa
Yes... one and the same.

Player
Is that a human name?

Player
Why do you seem worried?

Player
Oh, yeah! That guy! Who I totally, definitely know!
Elouisa
Yes. He was Majiri, but was so interested in human ways that he changed his name.
This... was a Flow lightbulb he invented to see ghosts.
Player
G-G-G-GHOSTS!?
Elouisa
Calm down, ghosts are not real.
Cryptids, definitely real. But ghosts...
Who believes in that kind of stuff anyway?
Unfortunately, by digging this up you may have unleashed a teeny tiny curse.

Player
Ghosts aren't real.
Elouisa
I agree. Cryptids, definitely real. Ghosts... not so much.
Unfortunately, by digging this up you may have unleashed a teeny tiny curse.
One that might, you know, turn everyone in the village into fish.
Player
F-F-F-FISH!?!
Elouisa
Fish are not so scary when you spend time talking to them.
But being turned into one would impede my research...
Together, I believe we can find a solution.

Player
Curses aren't real.
Elouisa
You literally emerged from a magical void... and you do not believe in curses?
Either way, it is still your responsibility to stop this.
Together, I believe we can find a solution.
Player
What can we do?
Elouisa
I will inspect this object here, but I need you to go to Caleri and get me a special book...
It's called "Forbidden Romance Curses and More". She will know where it is.
And if you are wondering, it's in the "And More" part of the book.

Upon talking to Caleri.

Player
Do you have "Forbidden Romance Curses and More"?
Caleri
... Why?
Player
We need to uncurse Kilima!
Caleri
...
You know curses aren't real, right?

Player
Secret reasons.
Caleri
Ugh, you sound just like...
Oh.
Caleri
Elouisa is just trying to check out another romance novel from the library without returning her last one, isn't she?
Player
I don't know about that.

Player
No, curses are real!
Caleri
Sure, sure. You tell her if she wants to save the town, she needs to return "Cryptid of Love" first.

Upon talking to Elouisa again.

Elouisa
I am glad you are back! Did Caleri give you the book?
Player
She said you need to return your other one.

Player
Is this curse even real?
Elouisa
Alright... you caught me. There is no curse...
I lost "Cryptid of Love" while trying to read it up on the cliffside.
It bounced off some rocks and into the lake.
This lightbulb, while unique, only shows traces of Flow, not ghosts.
And that curse was something I made up...
Unless it's real.
Player
Why did you lie to me?
Elouisa
I was worried you would not help me if I told the truth.
Maybe one day we can fish up "Cryptid of Love" and return it...

Player
I am leaving now.
Elouisa
That is fair.
If you find "Cryptid of Love" out there, let me know...

Player
Maybe we can find the book someday!
Elouisa
Perhaps! And then we'd have to find out how to dry it out...
Maybe I should just come clean to Caleri.

Player
So... was "Cryptid of Love" good?
Elouisa
The best! If I were not lost in it, perhaps I would've held on tighter.
Maybe one day we can fish up "Cryptid of Love" so you can enjoy it...
