Rocque | Fantasy Life (3DS)

RocqueThat sound when your pickaxe strikes rock... Boy! There ain't nothing better in all Reveria! That TINK! TINK! is music to my ears! But then...THEN there's a loud TONK. You know what that means, don'tcha? It means you've struck ore...and sweet, sweet gemstones!

RocqueExcuse me, waitress! One Barley Juice, if you please!

RocqueWhoa, whoa! Don't sneak up on me like that! Say, you look familiar... OH! Hey! Long time no see there, [Player]! How've you been? What's with that look? I totally recognized you! Boy, do I have much to tell you! So much has happened since we last met. But before we catch up, here's a little something to commemorate our meeting up again!

RocqueHow's my bro doing? He and Ruby are getting along fine, I hope...

RocqueOh, yeah! I was wonderin' if you wanted to head off on another adventure again, ya know, for old times. You remember, right? Back when you were just a Fledgling, how we teamed up and found that Topaz? If that wasn't the pickaxe point of excitement, then I don't know what is! Except for maybe a pickaxe... Anyway, it'd be great to team up with you again!

RocqueBro might look real tough, but he's surprisingly delicate on the inside. It's amazing how worried he can get over the tiniest things.

Rocque*sigh* What a bummer... I'm still not married... How sad is this? Me sittin' here drinkin' Barley Juice until my bladder explodes...

RocqueYou're an Expert Miner now? Th-that was...fast. You know what? You remind me of my bro when he was younger. I remember those days... Bro, Daniel, Ruby, and her brother Manuel. Oh, yeah! And me, too, of course. Times sure were tough back then, you know? But we had a blast!

RocqueI've been thinkin' back about this crazy shiny gem I once saw. Never managed to get my hands on it... Guess there ain't a thing I can do. It's just been so long since I've even mined a single gem... Oh, uhh...sorry about that. Didn't mean to be a total mood killer there.

RocqueYou're a Master now? No one told me! Sheesh, talk about the odd ore out! Guess that's the way the rubble crumbles... Wanna know what my dream has always been? In the Ancient Ruins, there's a crystal made of pure magical energy. They call it the Dark Heart. I've tried to mine it more times than you can swing a pickaxe, but I just didn't have it in me. But, hey. That's fine! Sometimes it's good to aim beyond your abilities, ya know?

RocqueThe Dark Heart is one tough rock... I wonder if you'd be up to mining it...

RocqueHey! I heard, I heard! So you actually went out and fulfilled my dream! I...I don't know what to say. That dream of mine was no joke. Maybe now Angela will... H-huh? N-no! N-nothing! I was, uhh...just admiring the shine of that gem! ...Er, anyways! Probably borin' ya! Boy, you sure went through a lot of trouble! But thanks to you, things worked out! Nothin' like a good ol' happy ending!

RocqueHuh? Wh-what do I want with that gem?! Heh. All right, all right. You win. I really wanted ya to get that gem so I could give it to Angela! ...There! I said it! Boy, this is embarrassin'. L-look. Keep this private, all right? Don't go telling Bro or Daniel about this!

RocqueCongrats on becoming a Legend! Looks like you and I are swappin' roles now, huh? Now maybe you'll be the one showin' ME some rockin' mining techniques! Way I figure it is, yer a lot like a gem that's been sittin' in the sunshine of my minin' wisdom. Now that you've soaked up all that sunshine, yer ready to keep shinin' for the next hundred years! Hmm... This sounds kinda familiar. Did I tell ya this already? Oh no! My memory's gettin' like Bro's!

RocqueYa know, every Life has its tough moments. That's just sorta the way of things. But, ya see...that's why I'm a Miner! I just dig through those tough times and uncover those shiny gems of happiness!

RocqueIt's all about diggin' those shiny gems of happiness whenever you can, ya know? Ah, don't mind me. I'm just sorta thinkin' out loud. We've both gotta give it our best! Just remember... Ya gotta have fun too! We should get together for a good ol'-fashioned rock party!

RocqueAll play and no work will dull your pickaxe! Gotta get back to diggin', diggin', and diggin'! Uh-oh. I sounded an awful lot like my bro just now, didn't I? He's always spoutin' off stuff like that. I remember gettin' plenty of that back in Castele. "Dig, dig, and dig s'more!" Kinda like that.

RocqueI heard the news. Creator rank, huh? I'll be honest with ya, I had no idea there was a rank higher than Legend. Weird... Anyway, all's well that ends well! Congrats!

RocqueHmm. I'm sure that wasn't a rank before... Did I imagine it? I-I can't remember! I'd better ask Bro and Ruby about it the next time I visit 'em in Castele!
