B) ... run...
You see everyone but Haschel unsheathe their weapons and go running towards Doel. You life up your foot, jerk it around and run in the other direction. You look back and Haschel is following you.
Haschel: "DART?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
You leave the Throne Room and you stop right outside. Haschel runs up to you.
Haschel: "What the hell are you doing?"
You: "I have no IDEAD!!" O.O;
Haschel: "You really are an idiot... Let's go back. We can't let them take Doel on by themselves..."
You: "Yeah... you're right."
You turn around and head for the door when you trip over a large wooden box.
You: "SON OF A *****!! WHO WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT A BIG WOODEN BOX IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY?!"
Haschel: "Dart... It's a chest..."
You: "Well in that case..."
You open the chest and get the PHYSICAL SHIELD!!
Now you...
A) Go into the Throne Room B) Use the Physical Shield and go in

B) Use the Physical Shield and go in
You decide to use the Physical Shield. You feel an aura come from the object you are holding. You feel... INVINCIBLE!!!
You: "Haschel! I want you to do something for me..."
Haschel: "No, I will not do your hair again..."
You: "Not that... I want you to punch me..."
Haschel: O.O "GLADLY!!"
Haschel gives a swift punch to your face and his fist bounces off an invisible wall. A yellow light comes from the epicenter of the punch, radiates like sounds waves, and slowly diminishes.
Haschel: "WHOA!!! OWWWWW!!!!"
Haschel feels a sharp pain in his hand.
You: "HA!!! Just as I suspected..."
Haschel: "How did you do that?"
You: "It's this thing from the chest."
Haschel: "Is it some sort of shield?"
You: e_e; "No... it just says PHYSICAL SHIELD ON IT!!!"
Haschel knows you were trying to make him look more stupid than you already are so he punches towards your face again. Again, the same thing happens as before. All damage was nullified and Haschel's hand hurt again.
You: "I already told you that it doesn't work."
Haschel: "Will it work this time?"
Haschel punches you again and nothing happens again.
You: "I guess it did."
Haschel: "Wow that thing's tough... Is there a bandage in that chest?"
You walk back into the Throne Room and you walk right up to Doel.
Everyone: "What are you doing, Dart? You'll get yourself killed!!"
Doel: "What are you doing, boy?"
You: "I dare you to punch me in the face, you piece of crap!"
Doel rears around and punches you right in the face. You see the Physical Shield shatter in front of you and you are hit in the nose. You fly 20 feet back and land on your ass, your nose bleeding.
You: "WTF HAPPENED??!?!?!"
You look down at the object and read the instructions.
-*~PHYSICAL SHIELD~*- 1 use per day Only good for three turns (hits)
You: "Ahhh... uh-oh..."
You get up and start running again and hide behind Albert.
Albert: -_-;;
Now you...
A) For the love of God, turn into a Dragoon B) Get Shana to tend to your bloody nose C) Run around Doel

C) Run around Doel You suddenly have a huge burst of Courage and you charge out from behind Albert. You: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!" You go up to Doel and he swings at you, and misses. You run around him in concentric circles eventually going in and punching him in the gut. He doubles over and you pull away from him and continue in your circles. Doel is pissed. He turns around and around until he gets dizzy and stumbles. He falls on one of his swords and it impales his leg. Doel: "UGH!!! DAMMIT!!!" You: "That's right, *****!!" Doel: "You move pretty fast for a moron!" You: "A moron? You'll pay for that!" You continue in more concentric circles. You run a little faster and give him more punches. Now he can't follow your movements because of his injured leg. Eventually you... run out of breath... You stop and take long, hard inhalations. Doel sees his chance and lunges at you with swords drawn. You: "EEP!!" o.o; Albert comes rushing in and blocks the strike with his lance. Albert: "You may be an idiot but you're still my friend!" You: "Albert?" Albert: "RUN!!" You: "But..." Albert: "JUST GO!! THIS IS MY FIGHT!!" You look at him, his teeth gritting with anger as he holds Doel's attack at bay, and you get up and run across the room the the rest of the group. Albert remains in front of Doel and pushes him backward. Doel: "You are foolish, young nephew. You should accept help when it is offered." Albert: "I'm not the one who's foolish. You killed your own brother, my father!! Now you tell me who is foolish! The man who kills others or the man who kills his own family?!" Doel: "That's a trick question, isn't it?" Albert: " " Doel: "You want me to say other people but the truth is the man who kills family. Well they are both wrong! I know it is wrong... what I am doing is not for me but for the good of Serdio! THE NEW SERDIO!!! GUAHAHAHAHA!!!" Albert: "WRONG!!" Doel: "Wha?!" Albert: "You are wrong, Uncle! And I'll tell you why! There are two different types of men, the pure and the spotted! The spotted just kill for their own good or for wrong causes... The pure always kill for what is best for not just yourself but for the safety of everyone and everything around you! Whether it includes other people, or family, I DO WHAT IS RIGHT!!" Doel: "We'll see about that... if you want to take me down, it will take a lot more than a pure heart to win..." ::ROLE SWITCH:: to Albert!! (there hasn't been one of these in a while... >_>) You(Albert): "I have more than I need!" A) Charge with Lance B) Use the Physical Shield (now enabled once more) C) Turn into a Dragoon

B) Use the Physical Shield (now enabled once more)
You(Albert) see Doel charging at you with his swords. You enable the Physical Shield(it works) and stand there. Doel strikes you and the shield absorbs the attack. You take out your lance and lunge at him and he jumps backward. Doel charges again and you stick your lance underneath him and flip him over your head. You find a torch on the wall and light the end of your lance on fire, causing a double-blade effect. You run towards Doel and slash at him with both sides of your lance. He dodges the first strike but can't avoid the second and gets hit in the chest. His armor lessened the blow but was pierced in the process. You follow up with another strike and hit him in the chest again. Another follow up and Doel grabs the lance. He flips you against the wall and throws the lance like a javelin. You see it coming towards you and you quickly get up and jump. The lance gets stuck in the wall and you pry it out. You run towards Doel and you slash at him. You miss and he slashes with his sword. It bounces off the Physical Shield and you counter it with another strike. It lands and slashes his face. He doubles over and grabs his left eye. You run up to him on his left side and cut off his hand. He grabs his wrist and it spurts blood into the air. He holds it to his body, screaming in pain. His Dragoon armor disappears and he becomes normal Doel.
You: "Had enough?"
Doel: "Grrrrrrr! NOT YET!"
He picks up one of his swords and throws it. It bounces off the Physical Shield and the shield collapses. You can't see through the collapsing shield, and don't notice the second sword. You see it at the last second and move your head to the side and the blade cuts your cheek. Doel, bleeding and unarmed, collapses. He huffs and puffs as you walk toward him.
Doel: "How could you defeat me?"
You: "Your weak mind and heart, and your thirst for power."
Doel: "But I had all the power in the world..."
You: "Obviously not all of it..."
Doel: "Well... I am defeated... you win..."
You: "I'm glad you know limitations. I would have killed you if you kept going."
Doel: "You are just like your father. A great man, he was."
You: "Then why did you kill him?"
Doel: "He kept me from going on with my ambitions. I hated him for that. So I got him out of the way... permanently..."
You: "That's not good enough..."
Doel: "Why are you wasting your time with me? You have to stop Lloyd!"
You: "Lloyd? What does he have to do with this?"
Doel: "He's the contact to Emperor Diaz. He has all the answers. He's headed towards Tiberoa. If you leave now, you can catch him."
You: "Thank you, Uncle."
You turn around and walk to the rest of the group.
Doel: "WAIT!"
You face him and he walks over.
Doel: "I have a favor to ask of you..."
You look at him, puzzled.
Doel: "Kill me..."
You: "What?!"
Doel: "It's what you came here for, right? Besides... Serdio must be united once more..."
A) Take his swords and cut off his head B) Take your lance and stab him through the neck C) "I... I can't..."

A) Take his swords and cut off his head
You: "I... I understand..."
You take his swords out and put the to his neck.
You: "You shall be remembered, Uncle..."
In a scissor-like motion, you slice off his head. It rolls away and his body falls flat to the ground. You give him a military man's salute and you return to your group.
::ROLE SWITCH:: to Dart!!
You(Dart) watch Albert walk over, covered in blood and sweat, and he is exhausted.
Albert: "It's over..."
Rose: "You did great!"
Shana: "Good Job, Albert!"
Haschel: "You did good, kid!"
You: "That... WAS AWESOME!!!" O.O
Albert: "Well, Lavitz taught me well, how to use a lance."
You: "I'm sure he did..."
Everyone: O.o;
You: "WHAT?!"
Albert: "Well, what now?"
Haschel: "I guess, our journey is over."
Albert: "Yes, I guess it is."
*cue corny Hero Music*
You: "My journey can't end! There's still so much I don't know. Emperor Diaz, the Dragoons, the Winglies, and I want to know what Lloyd is up to!"
Shana: "I'll come with you, Dart!"
You: "But..."
Shana: "Don't put me down, Dart. I know how to handle myself!"
You: "You sure do..."
Everyone: O.o;
You: "WHAT?! Well, I guess you're right."
Albert: "My journey cannot end, either. Although the objective of ending the war was accomplished, I still need to journey. I must avenge Lavitz's death. Lloyd also has the Moon Gem, and I need that back."
You: "Well, what about you, Rose?"
Rose: "I guess I have to come too. You would feel naked without me."
You: "I feel the same way when I'm with you..."
Everyone: O.o;
You: "WHAT DID I SAY?! Well, Haschel?"
Haschel: "I guess this is where my journey ends here..."
You talk amongst yourselves, Haschel, waiting closely nearby, sees a soft purple light coming down upon him. He catches it and it glows slightly.
Haschel turns around.
Haschel: "The question is answered!"
Rose: [This can't just be a coincidence...] "This is fate..."
The purple object glows brighter and brighter, temporarily blinding everyone in the room. Other lights appear, as the Dragoon Spirits resonate.

CHAPTER 2!! THE PLATINUM SHADOW
You arrive in a city called Fletz. This city is lined with thousands of star mosaics, stained glass, and even items shaped like stars. A small stream runs through the middle of the city which creates a glistening look. You come up to the bridge that crosses the stream and you stop to talk.
Shana: "Well, where do we start?"
You notice something on the bridge and take a look.
Albert: "I guess we go see the King of Tiberoa. Since we are both of royal blood, I may be able to influence him a bit... Dart, what are you looking at?"
You: "Huh? Oh... it's nothing... it's just that... this bridge is called 'Claire Bridge.' This bridge has the same name as my mother."
Haschel: "Really? Claire was the name of my lost daughter..."
You: "Does that mean...?"
Albert: "The odds of those two women being named Claire and being the same people you speak of is almost slim to none. Say about 55% of the population of Endiness is women and 30% of that population is named Claire. Now, the probability of the Claire you speak of is..."
Rose: "Albert... shut up!"
You: *brain sizzle*
Haschel: "It's still possible..."
Albert: "I'm not denying that. I mean, look at you two. You have the same cheek bones and cranioscopically you two look really alike!"
You: *brain meltdown*
Rose: "Maybe we should get going..."
You: "THANK SOA!!"
A) Go to the bar(get wasted) B) Go to the castle

A) Go to the bar(get wasted)
You leave the bridge and head up a set of stairs. You come up to a small alley with a man sitting near a case of wine bottles. He is speaking in gibberish and random phrases explode from his mouth. You walk through the door and into the bar. You walk up to a woman in a yellow dress.
Woman: "I'm sorry but the bar isn't open right now. You'll have to come back later."
You: "But I was REALLY looking forward to getting wasted!"
Woman: "Well, you can get wasted later..."
You leave the bar all discouraged and look over at the man sitting by the wine. You sneak to the back of the group and stay with the man.
::ROLE SWITCH:: to Albert!!
You(Albert) walk down the set of stairs and go to the main square. There seems to be a large commotion in the square so you go to take a look. You see people running around frantically.
Man: "SHOOT! It's Princess Emille!!"
Dog: *whine*
Woman: "What do we do?!"
You see a woman in a pink gown walk down the steps from the large golden Castle doors. She comes quickly and seemed angry.
Emille: "WHO SAID SHOOT?! I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH LANGUAGE!! SAY ****, DAMMIT!!! Why won't anyone answer? I'm the Princess! You're SUPPOSED to be nice to me..."
A pregnant woman a approaches Emille reluctantly and quite terrified.
Mother: "P-Princess Emille? Will you please name my soon-to-be-born baby?"
Emille: "Why can't you do it yourself? It's such a bother..."
Mother: "It's just that... my husband was killed by bandits and..."
Emille: "Bandits...? Sorry Lady! It's hell on wheels!"
Mother: "OH MY!!!"
Emille: "Oh my God, stop crying! It's disgusting!"
Mother: "..."
Emille walks away sternly and back up the Castle steps.
You: "Emille... you were never like this..."
Rose: "What was that, Albert?"
You: "... uh... nothing..."
You walk into the square and speak with the guard in front of the Castle steps.
Guard: "What business do you have with the King?"
You: "We need to see him. Is he available?"
Guard: "Do you have an appointment?"
You: "No, but it's an emerge..."
Guard: "No appointment, no passage."
You walk into the middle of the square and speak with the group.
You: "What do we do now? We can't get in and there is no chance of getting past this guard..."
Rose: "I guess we need to think of another plan..."
You: "I guess you're right. Now all we need to do is... Where's Dart?"
Everyone looks around the square only to find no sign of Dart.
::ROLE SWITCH:: to Dart!!
Back at the bar, you(Dart) have cracked open a few bottles of wine and you are speaking with the man who was sitting near them.
You: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG THAT IS HYSTERICAL!!!! AHHHH AHAAHAHAH AHHHH AHAHAHHAA!!!"
Man: "What's so funny about me wife dyin'?"
You: "Er... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
You take a few more swigs and laugh randomly.
You: "I got one, I got one! Ok, ok... Is that a Urobolus in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"
Man: "I don't get it..."
You: "HOW DO YOU NOT GET THAT?!?!"
Man: "It's stupid!"
You: "Well I didn't think it was..." A few more swigs and you don't remember what the hell you were doing in this city in the first place. You continue talking with the man.
Man: "So why are you here?"
You: "Uh... I don't... remember..."
Man: "Are you searching for someone? Something?"
You: "Now I remember... the answer is 42..."
Man: -_-; "You have the same amount of control with booze as that Lloyd guy who came strolling through here..."
You: "Lloyd?............................. That's a funny name..."
Man: "Yeah, he was a strange man, he was. He had Platinum Hair... never saw anything like it... He had a really nice sword, too."
You: "A nice sword, huh? He must've been loaded."
Man: "He had a sinister look to him... and he carried this silvery gem that looked like a piece of The Moon That Never Sets..."
You: "TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiME IS ON MY SIDE! YES IT IS!!"
Man: "Are you listening?"
You: "Yes........ no....."
Man: "I thought so... well, I ought to be gettin' home, me daughter be waitin' for me."
You: *guzzles* "I'll see ya sometime, pal..."
The man walks away and you see the rest of the group walk up the steps. You stare at them while sitting on the ground with about 15 or 16 empty bottles of wine at your side and one half empty(or half full) in your hand.
You: "Hey guys!"
Albert: "Dart! What have you been doing?"
You: "WTF does it look like?! I've been drinking! I've also been doing a little mingling..."
Albert: "We were worried about you! Well, some of us... We searched for hours!"
You: "You know... I never told you that cape brings out the color in your eyes..."
Albert: "Really? I always liked the color. I have a thing for green..."
Rose: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOkay... Let's go into the bar!"
You: "W00T!!"
All of you walk into the bar and you...
A) Order a drink B) Order many drinks C) Call a stripper D) Talk to the Woman in Yellow

B) Order many drinks
You rush right over to the counter and take a seat in a swivel stool.
You: "Bartender! If you don't mind, will you get me a few bottles of the Tiberoan Ale?"
Bartender: "Of course! What else?"
You turn to the rest of your group.
You: "What do you guys want?"
They all nod and they sit around the table in the middle of the room.
You: "Your loss..."
::ROLE SWITCH:: to Albert!!
You(Albert) sit down and think hard on what you should do next. A woman comes over and speaks.
Woman: "Are you folks travelers?"
You: "Yes... How did you know?"
Woman: "I know everyone in this city. Plus you guys don't look like natives either."
You: "You're very perceptive. Who are you?"
Woman: "My name is Kaffie."
You: "Nice to meet you."
Kaffie: "Do you guys want to hear about stars?"
Shana: "Stars? Sounds interesting..."
Kaffie: "Well, we people of Fletz are into the art Astronomy."
Shana: "Astronomy? The study of stars?"
Kaffie: "Yes! As you saw while walking through the city, we have stars all over. We love stars. Astronomy can help us find our way home in our journeys, learn of others in the world, or even see into the future..."
Shana: "Wow..."
Kaffie: "Yes it really is a fine art... Well, what are you people doing in this city anyway? Looking for something?"
You: "We're looking for someone."
Kaffie: "Someone? A man? Maybe I can help. What's his name?"
You: "His name is Lloyd."
Kaffie: "Hmmmm... sorry, I don't know him. As hip as I am, I still don't know everything..."
Dart: *swivels in the stool* "WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
You: "Well, I don't know where to look for him..."
Kaffie: "You should go to Mr. Fester. He lives next door. He knows a lot about these parts..."
Dart: "...is that a Urobolus in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
Bartender: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT'S A GOOD ONE!!"
Dart: "At least SOMEONE gets it... AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" *falls off stool*
You: ¬_¬; "At least the rest of us have some control..."
Haschel: "Yeah... heh heh heh... Urobolus in your pocket... that's a good one..."
Everyone: O.o;
Haschel: "What? You have to admit, it is pretty funny..."
Shana: "I like Dart when he's drunk out of his right state of mind..."
Rose: "What was so right about his regular state of mind?"
Shana: "Er... good point..."
Dart: *gets up and walk over to Haschel* "Helloooooooo Grandpa!!!"
Haschel: "I'm not your Grandfather..."
Shana: "I still like him drunk, though..."
Rose: "Well, he should have a little control..."
Dart: "Oh C'mon Rose! You should learn to have a little fun!" *pinches Rose's butt*
Rose: "You touch me again, I'll castrate you..."
Haschel: "eep: O.O;
You: *Cringe*
Dart: "What does that mean?..." O.o
Haschel: "Dart... you should learn to shut up..." Dart: "Haschel, I know what you want... I swing both ways you know!"
Everyone: O.o; *scooches away from Dart*
Dart: "What? Only when I'm drunk..."
Shana: "Is it just me, or did Dart just get hotter...?"
Everyone: "It's just you!"
Shana: "Oh..."
Bartender: "It's late everyone. We're closing soon."
Kaffie: "You guys should find a place to stay. Soldiers patrol the streets so you should avoid trouble."
You: "Thank you, Kaffie! Goodnight!"
You all walk out, carrying Dart, who had just collapsed, his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth, and head for the hotel. You...
A) Make reservations B) Go to Fester's

Post by Cablevision on Jan 27, 2006 1:00:26 GMT -5
A) Make reservations
You walk into the Inn, with Dart hanging at your side passed out, And you go up to the desk.
Receptionist: "How may I help you?"
You: "We would like to make reservations."
Receptionist: "I'm sorry, we're all booked for tonight. There are no vacancies."
You: "But where are we supposed to go?!"
Receptionist: "I'm sorry... maybe the local residents will take you in. If you can;'t find anywhere to stay, you must leave the city. It's the King's policy."
Dart wakes up for a few seconds, utters some weird gibberish and passes out again. You leave the hotel.
You: "Where do we go?"
Rose: "That Kaffie woman mentioned a man named Fester... maybe he'll let us stay with him."
You: "It's worth a try..."
You head to Mr. Fester's house, right next to the Inn, and knock on the door. No one answers. You knock again.
You: "Hellooooooo! Mr. Fester?!"
No one answers. Shana pushes you aside.
Shana: "Ameteur..." *clears throat* "MR. FESTER!!!! MR. FESTER!!! ARE YOU HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME?!?!"
Shana bangs on the door mercilessly and the door comes loose from its hinges and falls into the house.
Shana: "Oopsie..."
Fester: "Yes, yes... I am he... What happened to my door?!"
Shana: "That was me..."
Fester: "Ooooooooooook... come in, come in."
You all go in and you sit Dart down on a chair and Fester gets him some coffee to sober him up. He gains his common sense and his balance and stands among the rest of the group. You speak with Fester.
You: "So what do you do?"
Dart: "If I can recall, he's the senator to the King..."
Fester: "Yes, that's correct."
You: "You got any more of that coffee? We just found Dart's wake up juice..."
Fester: "No... I'm fresh out..."
You: "Damn..."
Fester: "As I was saying, I am the Senator to the King and I keep all the information on the history of Tiberoa and the world here in my home, and in the Castle. I even conduct my own experiments and studies to add to the collection."
Dart: "Do you know of the town that was destroyed 18 years ago called Neet?"
Fester: "Yes I do. It was destroyed by the Black Monster... but why would you want to know about that?"
Dart: "It was my home, up untill the Black Monster destroyed it..."
Fester: "You are a survivor?! Well, I can only tell you so much... would you like to hear?"
A) Yes, of course! B) Yes, but first...

Post by Cablevision on Jan 27, 2006 1:00:54 GMT -5
B) Yes, but first...
Dart: "Yes, but first... do you have any booze?"
Everyone: -_-;
Fester: "Why don't I just tell you...
Fester walks to the back of the room and rummages through a bunch of junk sitting on the floor. Maps and such are tossed aside, along with scrolls and boxes. He searches and searches until he comes across a kind of plaque. On this plaque were some paintings of a moon in the sky and burning towns. You stare at the ebony plaque noticing one of the paintings of a dark figure surrounded by an inferno. You look over at Dart and he begins to sweat a bit, as if he knows what that is already. He stays silent and continues staring. Fester began his lecture.
Fester: "In astronomy, you have to know the celestial bodies in the sky well so you know how to read the stars. But there is one celestial body that stumps everyone, and it is The Moon That Never Sets. The Moon That Never Sets never moves. It doesn't rotate or revolve. And in theory, a body that doesn't move doesn't exist."
Dart: "It doesn't exist?"
Fester: "Exactly. And every 108 years, The Moon That Never Sets glows a deep blood red and a horror is unleashed across the land. A horror known only as... the Black Monster..."
Dart: "The Black Monster..."
Fester: "This is either a curse from the gods or a natural phenomenon that happens during this time. Whole villages, towns, and cities are totally annihilated in a night. After the night passes, the Black Monster ascends into the heavens and the moon returns to it's normal, blue color. We do not know whether the Monster is a god or just a punishment. But it sure would explain the reason for all the deaths every 108 years. There are some eyewitnesses to the massacre of Neet 18 years ago. Some are..."
As Fester speaks, you hear a bell sound from the direction of the castle.
Fester: "Oh... I apologize. My presence is required at the castle. I must be going. If you would like, you may look at The Moon That Never Sets through my telescope on the floor above."
You: "Thank you for your time."
Fester: "I was glad to have had you as guests. Now, if you will excuse me, I should be heading off."
Fester walks across the room and out his door(which Shana knocked down). Now...
A) Look through the telescope B) Search around town for a place to stay

B) Search around town for a place to stay
::ROLE SWITCH:: to Dart!!
You(Dart) and the group travel around the city, avoiding the guards, and going door to door to see if someone is kind enough to provide you with shelter. You knock on someone's door.
Person: "Who is it?!"
You: "We are some travelers! We need a place to stay!"
Person: "Go to the Inn!"
You: "We can't! There are no vacancies!!"
Person: "Okay... Come in!"
You walk into the house. It's a very nice house. It has a long hallway and it leads to a tall wooden set of double doors. The ceiling is lined with chandeliers of Tiberoan Star Crystals and a long deep red carpet. You walk about halfway into the hallway and you are stopped by a butler. He asks you if you want anything. You...
A) Say you want nothing B) Ask for booze C) Knock out the butler (XD you see what's coming... >_>)

Post by Cablevision on Jan 27, 2006 1:02:04 GMT -5
B) Ask for booze
You: "Can I have some ale?"
Butler: "You may..."
The butler goes into the next room and you hear him open a cabinet and take out some bottles. You see an assortment of silverware and jewelry on the table next to you and you go to look at it. You pick up this large necklace with a humongous emerald jewel. You look around and quickly stuff it into your pocket. The butler returns from the next room with a tray of drinks. You take yours and gulp it down thirstily.
Butler: "That wasn't a shot, sir..."
You: "Well this is..."
You throw the glass at the butlers head and hit him square in between the eyes.
You: "SEE?! NICE SHOT!!"
Albert: "DART?! ARE YOU INSANE?!?!"
You: "Maybe..."
Albert: "I think I asked the wrong kind of question..."
You: "He seemed a little suspicious... what do you think?!"
Albert: "I think he was a BUTLER!!!"
You: "... what's a butler?"
Albert: -_-;
You: "I'm not as crazy as you think..."
You kick the butler's side and a knife falls out of his sleeve.
You: "See?!"
Albert: O.O; "How the hell does he do it?"
A person rushes from the next room. He looks down at the fallen butler and back at you. He seemed stressed and worn out.
Man: "THANK YOU!!! You saved me from that bandit!"
Albert: "Bandit?!"
Man: "How can I ever repay you?!"
Albert: "Well, we need a place to stay for the night and..."
Man: "Yes, of course you can stay here!!"
Albert: "Thank you very much! And you are?"
Man: "I am Nello. I am the head of the Agricultural Restoration Program of Tiberoa."

A) Listen to what Nello has to say
Albert: "I LOVE NATURE!!!"
Nello: "Really?! I never thought someone had the same interest!"
Albert: "I think greenery is important to the world! It gives us food, air, and even pleasure!"
Nello: "I think the same thing!! I have a plan in the works that will help restore greenery to the Barrens!!"
Albert: "That's interesting! Tell me all about it!"
Nello: "Well, I was thinking of getting all the members together and heading out there with picks and shovels..."
You: "WHY SO BORING?!?!?!"
Shana: "Dart? What are these?"
Shana points to a small plant like thing with small buds at the end of each branch. You, still a little wasted, say...
A) A plant... B) Something to smoke! C) You tell me...

A) A plant...
You: "That's a plant..."
Shana: "Well I can see that..."
You: "By the looks of it, it seems like it will turn pink and bloom within the next 2 weeks."
Shana: "How do you know that?"
You: "There's a little note at the base of the pot saying the exact thing..."
Shana: "Ahh..."
You: "You aren't very observant..."
Shana: "Well you are observant but you aren't smart!"
You: "Point taken..."
Shana: "So what do we do about Lloyd?"
You: "We don't have any leads, so we're going to have to go from town to town and ask around."
Shana: "I guess you're right..."
You:
A) "We should get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us..." B) "Remember that time I glued your butt cheeks together?" C) Give Shana the Emerald Necklace

B) "Remember that time I glued your butt cheeks together?"
You: "Remember that time I glued your butt cheeks together?"
Shana: "Yes actually, I do..."
You: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That was friggin awesome!"
Shana: "Not for me! I couldn't sit down!"
You: "There were a few other things you couldn't do either!" =P
Shana: *blushes* "SHUT UP!"
You: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Shana rears back and slaps you in the face. You get knocked out cold and wake up the next morning. You, now sober, join your group and leave Nello's house. You head towards the shops and pass the bar. You look at the stairway that leads to the bar and you jump for joy and you run towards the stairs. Albert grabs your shirt collar and jerks you back. You...
A) Head for the bar B) Leave Fletz C) Look through the telescope at Mr. Fester's

A) Head for the bar
You decide to head to the bar anyway and the others are chasing after you. You run up the steps and through the door and see a familiar person speaking with Kaffie. Then it hits you.
You: "You're that woman who bumped into me at Bale!"
Woman: "Uh-oh..."
Kaffie: "Hey it's you! Maybe you can help us out. She wants to know about something called Stardust."
You: "Stardust? What's that?"
Woman: "Stardust is a mystical stone that if you collect enough will grant your most dearest wish. I've been searching for years and years and haven't found enough."
You: "... And?..."
Woman: "... Can you help me?"
You: "What do I get out of this?"
Woman: "Every 10 Stardust you give me, I'll give you some valuable items."
You: "Well, I can try."
Woman: "Thank you so much! My name is Martel by the way."
You: "Well, Martel, I'll se what I can do..."
Martel: "Just come back here when you find any."
You shake her hand and now you
A) Bye a drink B) Leave the bar C) Get your own free wine that's outside

A) Buy a drink You: "Bartender! May I have a whisky?" Bartender: "It's 11 AM..." You: "Your point?" Bartender: "It's too early... to drink..." You: "For you, yes. For me... I should have been drinking 4 hours ago..." Bartender: "You're an odd fellow..." You: "You should see me when I'm drunk, now LET'S GET TO THE SERVING!!" Bartender: "I have seen you drunk... and apparently you don't remember... so I am cutting you off until the actual bar opens..." You: "And when is this?" Bartender: "Tonight at 6 PM." You: "6 PM!! I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN TIME DOESN'T PASS IN THIS GAME AS NORMAL TIME WOULD!!!" Bartender: "Game?! WTF?!" You: "Er... bye bye!" You rush out the door and slam it. You let out a sigh of relief and as you lower your head, your eye catches the site of some bottle of wine in the crates next to you. You: "Too early to drink, eh? I'll show you..." You lift up the bottle of wine and a shiny stone falls through the bottom. You: "What the hell?" You pick it up and it glistens in the light like a golden nugget. Albert comes running behind you and grabs your shoulder. Albert: "What the hell is the matter with you?! We need to get going!" You: "Hey Al, look at this..." You hand him the stone and he examines it. He takes out a little magnifying glass and examines it closely. You: "Where did that come from?" ; Albert: "I've never seen anything like this before... It's quite beautiful. It seems to be made out of a material I have never seen before... very peculiar... Where did you get it?" You: "I found it right here..." Albert: "You didn't steal it, did you?" e_e You: "NO NO!!! I found it! Honest!" Albert: "Okay... maybe we should hang onto it for a while. It could prove useful... maybe even barter it for some dough..." You: "I've already got that covered..." You take out the large Emerald necklace and show it to Albert. Albert: "You found that too?!" @_@ You: "Nah, I stole this from Nello... heh..." Albert: -_-;; With this event over, you rejoin your group, with a bottle of wine hidden in your armor(heh). And you... A) Leave Fletz for the Barrens B) Pawn the Emerald Necklace

A) Leave Fletz for the Barrens
You leave through the gates of Fletz and travel across the land to the area called the Barrens. The land becomes more dry and the grounds begins to turn to sand. You notice less and less plant life as you approach the Barrens. Two large boulders with a sign nailed to the one on the right reading "The Barrens" signifies that you have arrived.
Shana: "Wow... this place is hot."
Rose: "I guess this is the place Nello was talking about..."
Albert: "It seems so..."
You: "Well... let's get going..."
You head down a long path and over a large stone bridge. You continue to follow the path until it loops around and under the stone bridge. In the next area, there is another large, stone bridge and you are stopped by some men.
Leader: "Hey! You can't pass until you pay the toll!"
You: "Why should we have to pay?! This isn't your land!"
Leader: "Oh yes it is! We took it over long ago!"
You: "Well if you don't let us pass, you'll be hurt!"
Leader: "Is that so?! Well if you don't pay, we'll kill you guys and take our toll out of the women!"
The men approach Rose and she draws her rapier.
Leader: "Whoa! Do you have any idea who we are?!"
Rose: "No... and I don't really care. Now move or die!"
Leader: "URG!! I AM SO PISSED!! FINE THEN!"
The men charge at you. You
A) "HAHAHAHAHA!!! SHORTY MEN!!!" *go Dragoon* B) Attack normally C) Take a swig of the wine you have stashed in your armor

C) Take a swig of the wine you have stashed in your armor You can see the bandits rushing towards you and you get an idea. You take out the bottle of wine and take a sip. You light up a stick and blow the wine onto the flame, causing a nice flamethrower effect. Two of the bandits are burnt and they take off, while the leader of them curls up on the floor. Leader: "Please don't hurt me! I swear I won't do any wrong anymore! Mappi gives you his word!" You walk towards him slowly and you hear a little mumbled word. Mappi: "Just kidding..." Mappi lunges at you and you side step. Mappi's blade catches onto your chain that holds your Dragoon Spirit and it rolls a few feet away. You see Mappi stare at it and you make a dash for it. Mappi dives and gets there first and tries to take off with it. Rose runs at Mappi and slashes at him with her rapier. Mappi avoids Rose's blade and takes off and climbs the rock face. Mappi got away. You: "NO!!! I NEED THAT TO BE BADASS!!!!" Albert: "You are so careless! How could you let that worthless cur take something that is THAT valuable?!" You: "What's a cur?" Albert: "YOU ARE!!" You: "Okay, thanks!" ^_^ Albert: -_-;; Rose: "Well, we'll have to get it back later... We can't stay here long. Plus if we don't keep moving, Lloyd may escape." Albert: "You're right. Let's go." You come to a sign that says "<----- VoCG No permission without a pass" and one right below it that says "Donau ----->." Since you don;t have a pass, you head towards Donau. You reach another maze area, still sandy and rocky, and make your way out of the barrens. You arrive at The Flower City, Donau. And, you guessed it, there are flowers EVERYWHERE!! Now you A) Enter the house on the right B) Smell some flowers

B) Smell some flowers
The rest of the group goes into a discussion while you go off to the side near the bed of flowers. You bend down and notice all the different colors and types of flowers. You inhale deeply and something hits you in the face. You swat it off only to realize that it's a very large bee. It flies at you with intent on hurting you. You run away from the bee only to notice it's following you.
Albert: "So what do we do now?"
Rose: "I'm not sure. Maybe if we visit the mayor we can get the permission to cross the Valley of Corrupted Gravity."
Albert: "I don't think a mayor has that kind of power. I think we'll need royal permission."
You(in the background): "BACK DEVIL BEE!!! BACK I SAY!!"
Rose: "That will be pretty tough to get. We can't get into the castle..."
You can be seen brandishing your sword wildly trying to slice the bee.
Albert: "Well, let's not worry about that now. We still have to search this town for Lloyd."
Rose: "Yes, you're right..."
Albert: "Right, well, let's get going. Dart!"
You take your sword and cut a nearby bird bath in half. The half that fell to the ground squishes and kills the bee.
You: "SUCCESS!!! I TRIUMPHED OVER THE EVIL BEE!!"
Albert: "DART?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Now we have to pay for that..." -_-;
You: "But... a bee..."
Albert: "Dart, you are a moron..."
As you are about to say something to Albert you notice a glistening object inside the stone in the broken bird bath. You go over to pry out what ever was causing this light.
Albert: "Dart, what are you doing? Dart?"
You get out the object and you notice it resembles the object you found before under the wine bottles. You: "Albert! I found another one of these stones..."
Albert walks over and takes to stone.
Albert: "This is strange. Another one."
You: "Now what."
Albert: "Put it in the bag with the other... there's nothing we can do with it now..."
You put the stone in the bag and now you
A) Head into the house on the right B) Go to the mayor's
