Dialogue[edit]
- Upon approaching Narcisse
- Narcisse: Crabs, everywhere! They seem agitated. Poor babies! I could use some help calming them down.
- Talking to Narcisse
- Such a strange phenomenon—crabs, everywhere! I hope they're okay. Such an interesting research opportunity! I managed to quarantine them, but can you settle them down?
How would I do that?
- By show them who's boss, of course! I've a concoction that'll turn you into a crab. Skitter through that hole in the barrier, then knock some sense into them. Then i can examine them more closely.
Could be useful. Fine. Turn me into a crab.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
- Hm... Think I'll stay out of this one.
