Prologue
Welcome to Reveria!
Welcome to Reveria! This is Castele, the largest town in all of Reveria. Why not pay the king of Castele a visit?
Script (285 lines)
YueliaReveria.
It is a land of peace, magic...and dreams.
I used to look down on Reveria from the clouds.
But now I look up to that same sky.
The moon lives behind the dream-filled haze of night.
Reverians refer to the moon as Lunares.
When the curtain of shadows falls, Lunares
bathes all of Reveria in pools of its shimmering, silver light.
At the break of dawn, a call will go out for a new hero.
A hero who now tosses and turns in an uneasy dream...
This hero will choose between the sword and the wand.
Perhaps this hero will select the needle over the axe,
or the rod over the bow.
A hero may forge legendary weapons, wield
an epic blade, or brew magical potions.
The choices are many...
Perhaps this hero will sew. Or saw. Perhaps the hero will
sew and saw while on a seesaw.
HA! ...Sorry. I thought that was kinda funny.
All of this grand speech weighs on me after a while...
Anyway...I think I see the first light of the sunrise!
Let's find out if our hero is ready to awaken...
I think it's time for your story to begin.Pam[Player]?PamOh, my stars! Are you OK?! What happened?! What's
going on up here?! Should I call for someone?!PamI was dozing downstairs when I heard an awful
ruckus up here. Are you hurt?PamI'm sorry I just came barging in, but I thought maybe
one of those falling stones crashed into the roof!PamBut it looks like everything is OK... Did you fall out of
bed? I bet you were having an intense dream!
[Choice: $$Yeah, I guess so / $$I don't remember]PamYou poor thing. Was it scary? Whenever I have a
scary dream, I'm up for weeks. Don't get me started!PamWell, I just had a funny dream you fell out of bed and
bumped your noggin! Tee hee!Pam...It was only funny because I see that you're OK
now, of course.PamOh, congratulations, by the way! I heard you finally
chose a Life for yourself! How exciting!PamHave you checked the mailbox? I don't think you
got your letter from the king yet! Not that I peeked...PamI don't mean to be nosy. It just kind of goes with the
Life of being a landlady, I suppose.PamPop outside and check the mailbox, dearie.(no English text)
RolandST-eeeeeee-RIKE! A perfectly placed letter!PamOver here, dearie! It's right here in the mailbox. I saw
the royal seal there on the envelope!(no English text)

Pam*GASP* I need to get ahold of myself. And you need
to get a license before you report to the king!
[Choice: I've got one / $$How do I do that?]PamOoooh, listen to you! What a terrible fibber! Just
terrible! I can read you like a pamphlet, you!PamPop into the Guild Office and pick up your license
before you make your way to the castle.PamThe Guild Office is just over there. See?PamYou should be able to make it that far without getting
lost, but I'll mark it on your map, just in case.PamAre you going to be OK? You seem nervous. Or...
well, maybe it's just me. I'm so excited for you!PamHere. Take a piece of my candy. No, I insist. It will
help you keep calm in front of the king.PamJust pop it in your Pouch, dearie. That way, you'll
have easy access to it no matter where you are!Pam(no English text)Pam(no English text)Pam(no English text)PamGo on! The king won't wait all day, you know!
Don't forget to stop at the Guild Office first!(no English text)

Guild MasterThat license there will get you started,Guild MasterCome and see me if you got any other questions.Guild MasterYou know the way to the castle, don't you?
When you leave here, just head north.???GET OUTTA MY WAY!???I don't want any trouble! Just let me fly by here!???I gots a better idea, little butterfly. Howzabout we
play a game????Dis is a game called "you ain't goin' anywherez."???Just leave me alone!Guild MasterSounds like trouble outside in the square. Yeah,
that's about the way of it these days...Butterfly(no English text)Now, don't worry. We won't hurt you...much.
ButterflyPlease! Just let me go!ButchThink you can just flutter away after whut you said?ButterflyWhat? What did I say?!ButchI don't remember now. But I think it was insultin'.ButterflyI was only responding to your little comment about
putting me in a display case. That wasn't very nice.ButterflyI'm not just some regular old butterfly you can turn
into a brooch or a hatpin!PierreYou probably shouldn't give us such ideas. We are
quite aware of how special a talking butterfly is.ButchYeah! We're gonna be eatin' good tonight!ButterflyWhat?! But...butterfly wings really aren't very filling,
you know. And they're high in trans fats!PierreDon't be a fool! We're not going to eat you. We're
going to sell you and make a tidy sum of Dosh!
With that Dosh, we shall purchase a grand feast!ButterflyNo! You can't do that!ButterflyHey! You there! Friend! Tell these guys, uh...y'know,
why they...can't do that.Help the talking butterfly?
[Choice: $$I'll handle this! / ((I'm just observing]
ButterflyWhoa, slow down there. I mean, I do appreciate
your bravery and all...ButterflyBut I think it's best if we could deal with these...Butterflyruffians in a civilized manner.ButterflyReally?! Well, I can't really blame you, I guess...ButterflyWhy get involved in the inconsequential affairs of
those in need of help...ButterflyI'll do my best, as a fragile butterfly, to deal with
these large and intimidating ruffians on my own.PierreOh my... And now this butterfly has the gall
to label us as ruffians!ButchYeah? You're gonna see how "ruffians" we can get!ButterflyOh, I don't like where this situation is going...ButterflyHey, you there! Actually, I think I could really use
your help...PierreMy friend, please just go along your business
and leave us to deal with this quarrelsome insect.ButchA squirrel's been shipwrecked?!PierreButch...please talk less in front of others.PierreAnd you! Nosy...observer type! I'll ask you once
more to leave us be. This doesn't concern you.PierreA man must be free to enrich himself as he sees fit.PierreEither through work, art, or the acquisition of Dosh!ButchSpeakin' of acquisitioning Dosh. If you're just gonna
watch, you should pay the price of admission.ButchSometimes we pick mushrooms or flowers and sells
'em to get by. Other times, we just take Dosh.PierreSo, friend, just as Butch here said. How about you
give us all your Dosh, and we'll be on our merry way.PierreButch, you have the honor of emptyingButchAw...how come I always have to get the honor?Butterfly(no English text)ButchHey, Pierre, I ain't never seen anythin' like it. This kid
is walkin' around with no Dosh!PierreWHAT?! I am incredulous. Incredulous, I say I am!PierreHow do you expect to get about this world with
no Dosh lining your pockets?PierreThis Doshless hobo and this chatty butterfly
deserve each other's company.ButchOoh! Lookit dis!PierreAha! I knew you must have something on you!ButchAin't no Dosh! It's just an empty candy wrapper!PierreI'm starting to feel sorry for the kid now.ButchAin't no Dosh! It's candy!PierreI'm starting to feel sorry for the kid now.PierreWell, I suppose it's better than nothing. Hand it over.PierreThis should teach you to mind your own affairs.
And for the love of Reveria, make some Dosh.ButchYeah. "Make some Dosh." Dat's my bro's credo. It's
pretty good. But I got my very own credo.
My credo is "Buckets." You remember dat one, kid.ButterflyWhew! Thanks for getting those guys off my back.ButterflyI'm doing research on all of the Life choices here in
Reveria, so I've been asking a lot of questions.ButterflyThose two were being so rude, so I asked: "Which
Life did you two select?ButterflyLemme guess...Nimrod? Or was it Nincompoop?"ButterflyGuess they didn't care too much for that. Ha!ButterflyMaybe I should've kept quiet, but I just couldn't help
it! Anyway, I really owe you one. Thanks again!ButterflyWell, I'm headed to the castle. I still have more
research to do! Maybe I'll see you around!ButterflyAnd the castle was...which way?ButterflyDue north, right?ButterflyOh, there it is up there!ButterflyFarewell, then!ButterflyAnd good luck with your Life!PaladinHalt! I'm sorry to inform you, the Royal Court has a
dress code that is enforced at all times.PaladinThank you for going to the great lengths of putting
on aPaladinFormal attire is required at all times. The king is in
there, for goodness' sake!PaladinYou can't go in there looking like you just fell out
of bed. There are rules, you know!PaladinAt least put on a tie or something. Show the king
some respect.???BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR!MinisterPlease keep your voice down...butterfly.ButterflyBut you just have to let me see the king!(no English text)
ButterflyOh, hello again!MinisterI see you two know each other...?ButterflyYeah, this is...my friend! See, when people help each
other out, they have things like friends, you meanie!MinisterI can assure you that I am no "meanie."MinisterI'm sorry, but we just do not allow insects at the
Royal Court. It simply isn't done.MinisterThe king is a very busy man. I'm sorry, but I must ask
you to leave now.ButterflyHe's prejudiced against butterflies! Can you believe
that? In this day and age?!ButterflyThey probably didn't let you in to see the king
because of the way you're dressed, huh?ButterflyMore prejudice! How can people get so uptight
about dressing formally?ButterflyYou even have a personal invitation from the king!
Oooooh, this all makes me so—ButterflyHey! Wait a second! I think I know how to get us both
inside the Royal Court!ButterflyWanna try something sneaky?
[Choice: Sure, why not? / I don't know...]ButterflyBut we can't just take no for an answer!ButterflyYou're here on, uh...official business...right?ButterflyAnd it's very, very important that I see the king!ButterflySo just trust me on this one, OK?ButterflyI haven't had much practice hitting a moving target,
so stand still...ButterflyVoilà!ButterflyYou've heard of a bow tie... Well, say hello to the
world's first buttertie!(no English text)
PaladinHalt in the name of the king! I will not tell you again
that your outfit is not—PaladinOoooh... What's that sparkly thing under your chin?
That's the prettiest bow tie I've ever laid eyes on...PaladinIt's so...fetching...PaladinYou should have worn that earlier! Such a splendid
piece of finery is a pass to roam the castle! Go on!PaladinThat tie of yours... It seems a little...lively.PaladinBut go on ahead.Butterfly*Psst! I can't believe it really worked!*Butterfly*Way to play it cool. Now just stride on in there like
you've belonged this entire time!*(no English text)

defying my orders. I told her to stay in the castle!ErikDoesn't she know that children are supposed to

should be a letter from the king inside!ErikI have said all I will. Be off now.ButchLittle busy right now, pal.OpheliaTee hee. Oh, Erik really can be quite a card.PamCareful not to offend the king. Remember to mind
your manners.RolandI tossed a letter for you in your mailbox earlier today.
That fancy envelope must be from the royal family!PierreIf you would like to engage in a staring contest,
then please let me know ahead of time.MinisterWelcome to Castele Castle. The king is currently
receiving an audience in the Royal Court.
His Majesty is most gracious to his subjects, but

He hates bugs.Guild MasterY'know,StaffWelcome to the Guild Office! Need a license?

the king laughing. He's not all pomp, you know.PaladinLook, I don't make the rules. I just enforce 'em.PaladinYou may pass freely. I don't suppose that fancy
bow tie of yours is for sale?PaladinWhat's beyond this door? Why, the Royal Court.
Wanna get in? Gotta abide by the rules.PaladinIf you wear something respectful, you can pass. If

through right now. Sorry about that.PaladinThis leads to the Castele Outskirts, but are you sure
that's where you want to go right now?
Sorry. I don't mean to lecture you. I've been doing
that ever since I became a father.PaladinContinue on this way to get to the Inner Garden.

yourself to your Master posthaste!You handed over
