Ambient dialogue[edit]
- North of The Beachtree
- Castaway (1): See, Conn, it's not so bad out here! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping—
- Castaway (2): It's all the same. Just like yesterday. And the day before. A drop in the bucket of days lived far from home.
- Near the Glimmering Arches Grand Prix adventure
- Castaway (1): These new people know who's leading those asura?
- Castaway (2): Nah. Even more clueless than we are. Besides, who cares? Seem to mind their business. Unlike these "alliance" people.
- Castaway (1): Least they seem to want to talk to us. Whoever's in charge of those asura... No idea what they're up to. Don't like it.
- East of Renown Heart
- Castaway: This "aloe" stuff is amazing! I can lay out in the sun all day and ignore my chores—all without getting sunburned!
- On the northwest side of the area near the entrance of the Sheltered One territory
- Castaway: I know they're nice. Be polite. But don't hang around them, and definitely don't go anywhere near...wherever they stay.
- Progeny: I wouldn't do that! Besides, that 'colyte guy even told me that Thornbloomer only talks to real, real old people.
- Castaway: Good. Real old? How old?
- Progeny: At least twenty summers old, he said. Super old.
