Dialogue

There it is! The Aquapolis itself— Saint Lotier. This road should lead straight to the city's center. We can— Halt! You may not enter Saint Lotier! Er, isn't the Aquapolis a hub of free trade? My understanding is that people could come and go as they liked. Aye, innocent people are free to enter. You lot are anything but. You'll not set foot past this gate, Ranzal! Ugh. They had to go and hire guards with good memories... Ranzal, just what kind of shenanigans did you pull here? Hey, it ain't my fault! I didn't do nothin' what any hot-blooded young guy ain't done once or twice. All I did was go on a little rampage and break some stuff. ...Er, includin' a couple'a buildings. Ha ha! This is no laughing matter! Do you even comprehend the trouble your mindless destruction is causing us now? Regardless, we'll need another way in. Oh, you can leave THAT to me, darling! I'll have every last drop of water around the city evaporated with my flame in no time. One crispy Aquapolis, coming up! Mym, the goal is to get inside, not to make Mercury cry. Oh. Yes, she IS rather sensitive, isn't she? Then what IS the plan, exactly? The guards seem quite adamant about keeping us out. We do it the hard way—circle around the city till we find the swamp. It's rough, but if we can push through, it should lead us inside. So more walking? And MORE fighting?! We JUST got a city! With beds! And baths! And pillows and musicans and guys who feed you grapes and wave palm fronds— Baths will have to wait, I'm afraid. Ranzal, lead the way!
