Dialogue

I dreamed about the prince last night! We were holding hands, and he said he LOVED me, and...EEE! Anyway, I'm in a great mood now. The prince is my soul mate!

Philia
Ohmigosh, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I dream about Luccy every. Single. Night. So I wake up happy every single day! Tee hee! I love Luccy sooooooooooo much!

Chelsea
I'm sure he dreams about me too—he's just too shy to say anything. He probably mumbles in his sleep, like "Chelsea, my love, don't ever leave me..." or "Of course you can smell my feet..." Oh, I'm sure the prince dreams about me too. I can practically hear him now! "Philia, you're my truest of true loves..." Tee hee... Tee hee hee! TEEEEEE HEE HEE HEE HEEEEEE! All right! I'm gonna keep my ear pressed to Luccy's door every night from now on. No winks, just eavesdropping! Girl, that would be murder on your complexion. Lucky for you, there's a better way.

Verica
Let me make sure I understand your request. What you wish to know is— Every word that Luccy and the prince say in their sleep! Forgive me, but such feats are beyond the reach of even my auguries. Awwww... Should you seek a glimpse into the future, however, I would be most happy to oblige. Ooo, yes please! Tell me about me and Luccy's wedding day! Good idea! Then you can plan ahead for bad weather or party crashers or whatever. Apparently you consider the marriage itself a foregone conclusion... But perhaps that means I'll be able to see something. Now, orbuculum, show me the future... Hm?! No... No, it cannot be! Too cute, right? Is Luccy in a tux? How does his butt look? I see only you, Chelsea. Stalked by the shadow of death. Uhh... Come again? Especially today, you must stay far away from Luca. If you do not, you will no doubt meet your doom. Oh, I believe it! I swear, when I'm next to him my heart beats so fast I feel like I'm gonna keel over right then and there. Tee hee! Uh... Chelsea? This sounds pretty serious. Maybe just play it safe for today, yeah? Luca's off training in the mountains, anyway, so— Oh, right! I better hustle up there and bring him some lunch. Are you TRYING to die?! Chelsea, you will be placing yourself in grave danger if you seek Luca out now. You're right... Seeing Luccy all sweaty and swole is BOUND to get me in trouble! Oh jeez, I'm drooling... Chelsea, we're talking about LITERAL DEATH here. Let's you and me just hang out here today. Oh, Philia. How can you say you love the prince if you're afraid of a little death? I... It would seem our appeals have gone unheard—but we must not allow death to claim her. You're right. There's nothing more sacred than love. It's what makes life worth living, so we can't let some stinky shadow muck things up! Let's go, Verica! O-okay, but I'm not sure we're on the same page...

A lunch box full of love! Hmm, or maybe a love box full of lunch...? Following her like this feels rather underhanded. Yeah, well, suck it up! We need to make sure she lives to see Luca again, even if it means getting our sneak on. I suppose. ...Hm? What's that sound? Ack! Those rocks are rolling straight for Chelsea! Luccy's gonna be so happy to see me! I made all his favorites, and I'm gonna feed him each bite myself. What manner of sorcery...? She's walking through the barrage as if it weren't there! Hey! Watch it, you dumb rocks! This basket is full of goodies for my honey bun! She seems more concerned about the basket than her own body. This must be the power of love... Wait! Oh no! GRRRRAAAWWWRRGGHH! She may have danced through those rocks with ease, but that fiend looks ready for a meal of its own! Grarg?! Hush! I'm checking on Luccy's lunch right now. You just sit there and wait, got it? ...Grrrrgh... Whoa, the fiends backed off! Guess there really is no stopping a lovestruck maiden on her—huh?! The forest is ablaze! Even Chelsea must realize it would be folly to— Aw, this mutton's gone cold. Guess I better warm it up real quick... She's using the forest fire to reheat the food! Even now, she thinks only of Luca... Her flames of passion are burning hot! We're about to be burning hot ourselves!

Almost there, Luccy! Looks like she's gonna make it. Guess she didn't need us after all, huh? Indeed. If anything, she has emerged in better shape than us. Yeah. If I were the shadow of death or whatever, I'd probably throw the towel in at this point. I do hope that you're right, but... I'd better look into my orbuculum to make sure. Luccy! There you are! Aw, man... Hey, Chelsea. What are you doing here? What do you think, silly? I brought you lunch! BWAAAAAAARRRRRGH! Holy crap... Chelsea?! Come on, stay with me! Did she just get struck by lightning?! Oh my... Philia, look at Chelsea through my orbuculum! Wh-what the heck is that black shadow? It's death, here to claim her soul. What?! There's gotta be a way we can stop it, right?! Alas, we mortals are powerless against the will of death. But then... Chelsea's gonna...? Hey... Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can come between me and my Luccy, huh? Did YOU make him lunch? Did YOU bring it up here? Yeah, didn't think so! So you better step off, or I'm gonna get stabby. You hear me? STABBY! She... She just chased off death itself. Luccy! How are you, baby? How am I?! How are YOU?! Oh, I'm great. I never feel more alive than when I'm with you! Tee hee! R-right... No mortal can best the power of death, and yet... Don't you see, Verica? Death might be strong, but love is stronger! *sniff* It's so beautiful... Love, you say? Hmm... Powerful emotions HAVE been known to alter destiny. So long as Chelsea harbors such fierce love, I suspect she'll be able to endure any number of fate's cruel twists. Here comes the mutton train, Luccy! Open wiiiiide!
