Dialogue[edit]

Listen to the Prison Warden[edit]

Prison Warden
Good morning, prisoners! How are you this fine morning?
It's a good day to show gratitude to your jailers! We let you keep your criminal lives, least you can do is work till you die!
Them wot don't work, don't eat! And so, without further ado, here's your work details for today.
Prison Guard
Today's food-gathering duty is in the Perimeter Woodland. You're to team up based on your assigned cell.
First, gather 20 each of Carnomiles, Gold Burdocks, Peachy Truffles, and Honey Plums. That is all.
Anton
Phew, sounds like another breezy one today!
Cory
Oh, for sure. Might even be able to sneak in a napperoo, dontcha think?
Eunie
Bleh... Seems plenty rough to me.
Lanz
Same. I don't even wanna think what a hard day's work looks like here...
Mio
Something wrong, Taion?
Taion
Those foodstuffs that the guard named...
It's the exact same food that the Castle distributes to us.
Sena
Hey, does that mean... The food the colonies receive, it's all picked here?!
Taion
It would be the natural conclusion...
Noah
So they're using the Lost Numbers as free labor...
Mio
...
Prison Guard
We're now opening the gate to the Perimeter Woodland.
And no funny business, you hear me? Anyone acts suspicious, they get taken out. End of.
Mio
We're supposed to keep our heads down until we can execute the plan...
Noah
Let's just head for the woodland.

Talk with the Prison Guard[edit]

Talk with the Prison Guard once:
Prison Guard
Oh, you're pretty new here, are you? Well, I don't snuffing care. Ask some of the other prisoners if you need anything.


Talk with the Prison Guard twice and more:
Prison Guard
You're not done yet, are you? Back to work, you reprobates!

Head for the woodland[edit]

Mio
Was it just me, or did the guard back there say "first"...?
Taion
There might be more to this job than we bargained for... I think we're in for a rough day...

Talk with Ghondor[edit]

Noah
Ghondor, I wanted to talk strategy. About this plan in two days' time...
Ghondor
Strategy, shmategy. I already told you yesterday.
If we keep nattering, the guards'll give us grief. Just keep your heads down and do some work.
Noah
Work? OK, fine, but what should we do...?
Ghondor
Huh? Why're you asking me? I look like a model prisoner to you?
If you're so keen, go chat at some of the other losers slackin' about.

Talk with Anton[edit]

Noah
Is this what prison work is always like?
Anton
Yeah, man. Some days, instead of picking food, it's mining for resources.
Either way, a full hard day's labor.
Noah
I see...
Anton
You haven't picked your share yet, right?
Here, have this.
Noah
Are you sure?
Anton
We don't want you too tired when the breakout happens, yeah?
Noah
Thanks. This will definitely help.
Item(s) Obtained: Honey Plum x8


Talk with Anton again:
Anton
Even if they kill us, they won't get any of those life motes out of it, huh? That's why they're working us like beasts of burden.
We'll show those Agnian bastards that we've no intention of being their little playthings for much longer.

Talk with Brenda[edit]

Noah
Have you lived here long?
Brenda
Not as long as I spent fighting, before.
I heard you lot are planning to escape. Guess you'll be going back into battle? That's kinda impressive.
Noah
Why?
Brenda
I haven't been here too long, but long enough to work out one thing.
I was tired of having to fight for my life.
...Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to keep you. It was just nice to have someone to talk to.
You've still got more stuff to pick, right? Here you go, then.
Good luck getting the rest.
Item(s) Obtained: Carnomile x7


Talk with Brenda again:
Brenda
You know, I wanted to be a soldier. I wanted to do my part for the City...
Never thought it'd end with me here, though...

Talk with Cory[edit]

Noah
Did you guys grow these?
Cory
Yeah. The soil's decent to begin with, so it wasn't too much of a hassle.
But it does piss me off to think they're filling up the guards' stomachs too...
Here, you guys can grab a few. It's those same Gold Burdocks they had you picking.
Noah
Thank you, so much.
Cory
Can't quite believe I'll be seeing the back of this place in a few days. Wish I could take this soil with me when I go...
Item(s) Obtained: Gold Burdock x10


Talk with Cory again:
Cory
Much as it hurts to admit, it'll never make much difference whether I fight or not.
But the food I grow will serve to keep folks alive, and that's no small thing, either.

Talk with Dana[edit]

Noah
What were you looking at?
Dana
Just noting the guards' positions.
I want to be of use when you're breaking Ghondor out of here.
Noah
Right, OK...
Dana
Anyway, that's what I'm doing, and it'd serve my purposes to be inconspicuous.
Not to be rude, but would you please go work somewhere else?
Noah
We'll be sure to do that.
Dana
...Oh, hey, wait. Take these.
Whenever there're prisoners talking, it's just a matter of time before guards show up.
We don't want them twigging on to our plans, now do we? So go.
Item(s) Obtained: Peachy Truffle x10


Talk with Dana again:
Dana
The guards here are somehow surviving without stealing lives on the battlefield.
Maybe that explains why the level of discipline is so vastly lower here than in other outfits...
Still, we can't afford to get complacent.

Gather items[edit]

Sena
Phew, there's so much you can gather around here...
Mio
To think this is how they keep the colonies fed... I honestly don't know how to feel.


Eunie
Queen's heels, am I sick of all this gathering!
Noah
Well, how about we inquire about our new digs along the way?


Lanz
Oh for the love of sparks! How can there still be more to do?! Unbelievable!
Sena
Stop whining and get to it already! You're just dragging this out!


Get help from other prisoners:
Mio
Everyone's doing the same work, but they're still happy to share with strangers...
Taion
Let's hope we can get them out without a hitch.


Gather all requested items:
Eunie
Ugh, are we finally finished?! Let's get this report done!
Lanz
Doing this day after day would definitely get old...

Report to the Prison Guard[edit]

Noah
We've collected our quota.
Prison Guard
Let me be the judge of that.
All right then, here's the list for the next batch...
Lanz
Wha-?! We worked our arses off, and now you want more?!
Prison Guard
You got a problem with that? Feel free to die if you prefer.
We're keeping you alive outta the goodness of our bleedin' hearts. You wanna stay that way, you work.
Lanz
What did you just-
Noah
Hey, we need to lay low until...you know.
The scene skips to the end of the work day.
Prison Guard
Right, that'll do it. Work's over for today.
Back to your cells, you animals.
The guard leaves. The party heads for the cells.
Eunie
Eugh... I stink of dirt...
Sena
We gotta stay patient. Just two more days.
Mio
It's inconceivable... All the people here have had to work like this every day...?
Taion
They're being seen as expendable labor. I imagine the overseers don't even consider them human.
Noah
...
We need to keep our strength up for tomorrow. Time to call it a night.
Mio
Yeah. You're right.
