In-Quest Transcript
Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Show/Hide Transcripts Prologue=

--It was rare that the circus came to town.

--You hadn't been since childhood, yet here you were.

--You and Wiz have come to see the circus that's in town.

--The only problem is, it's not open.

Wiz: Closed? That's weird. I wonder why?

--You say that it's probably their day off.

Wiz: But everything looks set up and ready to go? Hey, since there's nobody here, let's take a look inside!

--Wiz has never been to a circus and is excited to get in.

--You are unsure about this plan.

--Nobody is around and that gives you the creeps.

Wiz: We've traveled across the universe and defeated demons. But you're going to chicken out now? Just say that I'm your cat and I ran in here. Come on.

--With these words Wiz turns and enter the tent.

--You wonder quickly: has Wiz always been this curious?

--Or did becoming a cat make her even this way?

--You let out a sigh and follow her in.

--You lift up the tent flap and slowly enter.


 * -|Welcome to the Circus=

--You and Wiz are browsing the inside of the circus tent.

--The fact that there is nobody around makes you uneasy.

Wiz: Look at all this great stuff! Look! A trampoline!

--Wiz jumps onto the trampoline and starts to bounce.

--She fires into the air and then your eyes meet.

--You can see she is panicked and flailing her arms and legs.

--You laugh as she quickly jumps off.

Wiz: Stop laughing! That was high for a cat my size! I didn't think it'd bounce me THAT high!

--Your laughter dies down and you proceed further.

--Don't you think we should go? There's nobody around.

Wiz: Exactly! Nobody around! What's the worst that could happen? A slap on the wrist?

--I don't have a good feeling about this place.

Wiz: Trust me, let's just go a bit more!

(The quest begins)

Wiz: I never thought we would have to fight at a circus!

--This isn't normal. I'm telling you, we should leave here!

Wiz: Ok fine, I guess if...

--Just then you hear a sound in the shadows.

Wiz: What's that? Who's there?

--You approach the shadows trembling.

--Your hands are ready to cast an incantation at any moment.

--Just then...

???: Please don't hurt me!

--Just then a young girl emerges from the shadows.

"Myaa!!"

Holly: Please don't hurt me, my name is Holly.

--You introduce yourself and ask what she is doing there.

Holly: I work here. Well, I'm still in/training. I skipped practice to go on a walk with my friend. My friend got lost and I came back here. And then everyone was acting really weird!

--You feel proud that your instincts were right.

--But at the same time even more scared than before.

Holly: My friends...they were taken by the weird circus people.

--Wiz's ears perk up. She quietly whispers to you.

Wiz: I think this is where we come in. Since we're here, let's have some fun!

--You tell Holly that you'll help her find her friends.

Holly: You will? Oh thank you so much!


 * -|The Twin Trapezists=

(The quest begins)

--You and Wiz are guiding Holly to find her friends.

--Holly is talking about her love of the circus.

Holly: Ever since I was young I wanted to be a performer! It looks so exciting and I want to fly through the air!

--Wiz's eyes get big as she remembers the trampoline.

--Not everybody likes high places, I guess.

Holly: Really? Some people are just chicken I guess.

--Wiz is about to retort when all of a sudden...

Holly: Pat! Gina!! I'm so glad you guys are safe!

--You come across two more trainees on swings.

"Swing..."

"Swing..."

Holly: Pat? Gina? Are you ok?

--They don't respond.

Wiz: They're in some kind of trance... (missing text) But.. it's just Pat and Gina?

Pat: Swingy time...

Gina: Swingy time...

--The three of you slowly approach them.

--Suddenly they grab your hands.

Pat: SWING!

Gina: SWING!

--They start to vigorously swing while holding onto you.

Wiz: Gyah! They're under some spell! We need to stop them!

(Boss battle)

--Pat and Gina have stopped swinging.

--They seem to be returning to their normal selves.

Pat: Ow...my head...

Gina: My head...ow...

Holly: What happened to you guys?

Gina: Well... We saw Tyler the ringmaster's staff on the ground... so we picked it up to give it back to him... but then we blanked out. We don't remember.

Wiz: This sounds like more than just a fluke occurance. I think we should find this ringmaster and ask him.

--You tell Pat and Gina to find somewhere safe to hide.

--You will go on ahead and find the ringmaster.

Pat: We are safe.

Gina: This spot is safe

--You hesitate to leave them up in the air on the swings.

Wiz: It's probably the safest spot for them. Let's get going!


 * -|Mesmerized by Flames=

--You, Wiz, and Holly continue deeper into the circus.

--Suddenly you hears screams from up ahead.

Wiz: Quick! Someone is in danger!

--The three of you run into a room with a large stage.

--On stage you see a menacing fire juggler.

--He is spinning a fast and dangerous circle of flames.

--He seems to be holding two women hostage.

Holly: Randy, stop!

Wiz: Yikes! We've got to do something!

(The quest begins)

--The fire juggler is still spinning his wheels of flames.

Pauline: Stay away from me! Get back! What's wrong with you?

--The juggler is approaching a knife thrower and a unicyclist.

Nipha: I'll throw this knife, I swear!

--The juggler is in a trance and takes another step closer.

Randy: Come...enter the ring of fire...burn away your sins...

Wiz: That juggler's under a trance! We've got to help those two!

Holly: Don't hurt them!

Wiz: We'll do our best!

(Boss battle)

--The defeated fire juggler is looking around dazed.

--He seems to have woken up in a state of confusion.

Pauline: Are you ok now? No more "ring of fire" business, right?

Randy: What's...what's going on?

Nipha: You don't remember? The three of us were walking around looking for people.

Pauline: But then you suddenly ran off, Randy. You said you would go looking for the ringmaster.

Randy: I'm sorry, Nipha, Pauline. I don't know what happened.

Holly: Could this be a clue?

--You point out that he is holding something.

Randy: What...?

Holly: That's Tyler's uniform! Is he ok??

Randy: I don't remember anything, honest!

Holly: We need to get to the bottom of what's going on here.


 * -|It's Show Time!=

Holly: I'm worried, we have to find the ringmaster fast!

Wiz: Calm down, he'll be ok. Be on the lookout for more trouble.

Holly: But what if...what if he's...

--Holly is very upset over the ringleader's vanishing act.

Wiz: He's really important to you, isn't he?

Holly: Of course! He is our kind leader... And now both him and my friends have vanished...

Wiz: Don't worry, we'll find him for sure! For now we've got to keep moving forward to find him!

Holly: Thank you both for helping me so much!

(The quest begins)

--Further into the dungeon-like circus...

--You come across a tamer and her tiger with a young boy.

Holly: That's Albida, the animal trainer! And they're with Tyler, the ringmaster!

--She starts to call out to him.

Holly: Tyler! What's wrong??

--in an instance the tiger is alerted to your presence.

--He quickly glared in your direction.

--While glaring, he begins to walk circles around the group.

Holly: Tyler!!

--Holly begins to run towards him, but Wiz stops her.

Wiz: You mustn't! He's also under a trance! There's no telling what he'll do!

Holly: But...

Albida: Good girl...you smell dinner, don't you? Looks like tonight will be a cat-eat-cat show!

Wiz: Gulp...Uh-oh...

Tyler: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Welcome to the greatest show on earth! Tonight's battle extravanaganza will be a real treat! By popular request...a bloodbath among family! Hang on to your seats everyone, it's SHOWTIME!

(Boss battle)

--Tyler is looking around confused.

Tyler: Woah...what happened?

Holly: Tyler! You're back! Thank goodness!

--Holly tears up and gives Tyler a big hug.

Tyler: I'm so sorry, Holly. I didn't mean to scare you like that.

--Holly is sobbing into Tyler's arms.

Holly: It's...*SNIFF*...ok. I'm just glad you're safe!

--Tyler looks around for a second.

Tyler: Where did Tremence go?

--Holly looks down with a guilty face.

Holly: We...we lost sight of him.

Tyler: Oh, did you??

--Just then a loud sound bursts into the air like a trumpet.

Holly: Tremence!! It's really you!! My darling Tremence!

--Holly runs over to Tremence.

--She hugs him as far as her little arms can stretch.

--Tremence pats her on the head with her trunk.

Wiz: Woah, your friend was an elephant? What a twist!

Holly: Yeah! He's been with me since I was born! Poor guy got scared and hid in the shadows. It's all ok now!

--As Holly plays, you and Wiz ask Tyler some questions.

Wiz: After you vanished all this weirdness started. Why do you think that is?

Tyler: I vaguely remember meeting with someone in the back tent. But after that...my mind is a blank.

Wiz: Looks like our work here isn't/finished yet!

--You and Wiz walk off to get to the bottom of this.


 * -|Curtain Call=

--You come across a large empty room.

--Someone is standing in the middle of it.

Wiz: Who's there?

--a spotlight illuminates and You can see It is a clown.

--In the clown's hand is an orb.

Wiz: Gah! That orb!

--For some reason Wiz reacts to it.

--The orb splits into two and float in front of you and Wiz.

--You feel an odd presence in your head.

--You feel sleepy as the orb dances.

Wiz: Ack! Snap out of it! We've got a job to do here! Come on! After that Clown!

(The quest begins)

--Holly stares at the clown terrified.

--Holly, what's wrong?

Holly: That clown...she's not one of us.

???: Hehehehehe...hahahaha!!

--The clown has a wicked and unsettling laugh.

--Suddenly the clown begins to spin quickly...

--then slows down to reveal...

Layla: Heehee! It's meee!

Holly: You're the one that did this to the circus?

Layla: I sure am! I had a dream about this plan one night. It's always fun to try new things, right?

Holly: Turn everyone back to how they were!

Layla: No way! I'm still having fun up here, you brat! Or maybe you guys will play with me?

Wiz: You ruined my first circus experience! I'll scratch your eyes out for that!

Layla: Time for an encore!

(Boss battle)


 * -|Epilogue=

Tyler: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! The circus tonight is putting on a special show! We dedicate this carnivale extravaganza to... The Wizard and the black cat!

--The audience cheers and you take a bow.

Tyler: Our first act is an amazing sight that will melt your heart! I give you, Holly and Tremence!

--The audience goes wild as Holly and Tremence enter.

--The sparkle in Holly's eyes is much brighter than before.

Wiz: So THIS is what I was missing out on! Fun stuff!!

--You look over and notice a/tear of joy.

Wiz: Crying? Me?? Get real!

--But what do you think Layla was after here?

Wiz: What is she ever after? Attention, that's all! She loves to be chased.

--You both turn back to see the show.

--Just then Holly runs up to you.

Holly: Thank you both so much! You've inspired me! Next, I'm going to make an act with a cat on a trampoline!
