Dialogue

At Trader's Forum (sylvari)

During Dragon Bash: Celebration

Another festivalgoer, I presume. I'm curious, are you for or against Dragon Bash?

I'm for it. We aren't praising the dragons; we're bashing them.

Ah, a free spirit. It must be so liberating to be one. Roardina dragged me away from my tomes to be here, then she scooted off to protest the festival. It's so like her.

Roardina? A friend of yours?

*sigh* My dearest, my love. My storm of laughter, the acrobat in the middle of my studious life. She confuses me and excites me all once.[sic] She's the reason I'm here.

She sounds fun. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

I don't like it. We should kill the dragons first, then celebrate.

A pragmatic approach. I surmise you are the kind of person who eats balanced meals and always gets a good night's sleep. Not at all like my Roardina. I must confess, I'm a little envious.

Roardina? (Same as "Roardina? A friend of yours?")

Good-bye.

I'm still making up my mind.

It's so terrible, isn't it? The violence. The destruction. I've been trying to find an official report, but the Lionguard haven't been forthcoming.

What happened?

I hear there was an electrocution and an attack by shadowy figures. At least my Roardina is safe. It's a small solace, but one I can wrap my arms around at night.

Good-bye.

Take care.

During Dragon Bash: Celebration

Never thought I'd see something inspired by the old Canthan dragon festival, especially with the Elder Dragons on the rise. But here we are.

What do you think of the festival?

Well, I live in Lion's Arch. It seems like every few months the whole town changes for some party or event.

I notice you didn't answer my question.

I'm torn. I don't like the dragons, but my grandma–she was from Cantha. She remembered the old festival. She wanted to see this one, but Grenth took her last month.

You have my sympathies.

Sounds like a mess. Take care.

Good-bye.

Did you see what happened? I hope they find out who did this and shove them off the gangplank!

What happened?

I couldn't see much. Too hectic, you know. I did see the quaggan and skritt representatives scurrying away. I bet they had something to do with it.

Thanks for the information.

I'll be going now.

At the Grand Piazza

During Dragon Bash: Celebration

Dragon Ball, moa races, all the food and drink from around Tyria. Leave it to the pirates to outmoot a moot!

Uh, yeah! Party! Woo!

During Dragon Bash: Effigy Ceremony

These Lionguard couldn't find their own boots with a map, a compass, and a guide. Give me a week, and I'll find out who struck down the councillors.

Back up. What happened?

One of the effigies attacked the councillors. Three of them were gravely injured. And the Lionguard just ran around like scared little rabbits.

What makes you think it wasn't an accident?

Because some cultural representatives ran away like they had something to hide. A skritt, ogre, kodan, sylvari, and a quaggan. They're behind it. I know it.

Interesting. Thanks.

Let's hope they do.

I believe you.

At Fort Marriner

During Dragon Bash: Celebration

Dragon Bash is amazing, isn't it? When I heard it was coming, I had my servants prepare my guest home here.

Tell me more about Dragon Bash.

I would've enjoyed it more if it was in Beetletun. I could walk out on my balcony and see the whole thing.

What are you here for?

I'm here for the fireworks and bonfires at night. Oh, and the big presentation. That should be any day now.

Thanks. Have fun.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

Sounds great. Have fun.

During Dragon Bash: Effigy Ceremony

It's terrible, isn't it? All that destruction and chaos? And the councillors. I heard some of them were injured.

Did you see anything?

People running, Lionguard rushing around. Bodies. I saw bodies. Those poor councillors. They were rushed to Fort Marriner. I haven't heard anything about their condition.

I see.

Let's hope they pull through.
