Dialogue
Dialogue Set #1
Available before completing Both Brains and Brawn.
- Goncourt: Got questions? If you do, don't ask me. I'm not a guard. Go find... go find Estienne! He seems like he's got all the time in the world.
You're not a guard?
- Goncourt: Ha, no. I just play one on stage. See this uniform? Take a closer look, the quality is much worse than an actual uniform.
- Goncourt: If it wasn't for the tragically tiny budget the Tri-Coupon Troupe has, I would have a proper costume. A genuine top-quality guard's uniform...
- I don't think that's the best use of your resources.
- Goncourt: I must disagree with your opinion. You have to understand that props and costumes are crucial to any performance.
- Goncourt: Oh, or do you mean that the script is even more important? Well, if that's the case then I would have no choice but to agree!
- The Tri-Coupon Troupe?
- Goncourt: An incredible organization, dedicated to enriching lives through theater... or at least I'd like to be able to say that.
- Goncourt: At the moment, we're more amateur hobbyists... Or a support group. Oh, if only we had more of a budget...
- Very well. Goodbye.
- Goncourt: Good luck.
Dialogue Set #2
Available after completing Both Brains and Brawn.
- Goncourt: Hello. We meet again.
- About your outfit...
- Goncourt: Haha. looks real enough, right? But look, the quality is much worse than an actual uniform.
- Goncourt: If it wasn't for the tragically tiny budget the Tri-Coupon Troupe has, I would have a proper costume. A genuine top-quality guard's uniform...
- About the Tri-Coupon Troupe...
- Goncourt: An incredible organization, dedicated to enriching lives through theater... or at least I'd like to be able to say that.
- Goncourt: At the moment, we're more amateur hobbyists... Or a support group. Oh, if only we had more of a budget...
- Goncourt: Fourmon and Meilhat have been doing all the work lately. And it does seem the two of them alone can already put on a decent performance...
- Looks like you're out.
- Goncourt: Oh, I'm injured.
- Goncourt: Hey, didn't you say you'd tell me some amazing stories when you got the chance? Did you think of any?
- (Share an unforgettable experience.)
- Goncourt: That's awesome! But it'd be a waste for me to turn it into a script. We can only put on cheap little skits here...
- Goncourt: That's a story that deserves to be performed on the stage of the Opera Epiclese!
- Goncourt: But were there the opportunity to tell such a grand story under those shining light [sic]... well, it's not like I'd get a chance to write the script, now would I?
- (Tell about an ordinary experience.)
- Goncourt: Hmm, that's a good story. But to make it work on stage... I think the story would be almost unrecognizable.
- Goncourt: Personally, I like that kind of story. Ordinary events can tell us a lot about a person's character... Some might disagree, of course, but that doesn't matter.
- Goncourt: Perhaps the most important thing is that audiences expect conflict and twists! And, unfortunately, this probably does not meet those expectations. Such a shame.
- I'm kinda busy right now. Maybe another time.
- Goncourt: A rain check it is.
- About "The Fourth"...
- Goncourt: Haha. You've heard the moniker? Did Lanoire tell you? She's the only person here who calls me that.
- Goncourt: That was my stage name when I fought in the Pankration Ring. Goncourt the Fourth. But everyone complained it was too long so they just called me Goncourt.
- Goncourt: But Lanoire just calls me "The Fourth," even when I'm not in the arena.
- Goncourt: Perhaps I'm some kind of storybook character to her? That actually suits me just fine.
- I need to go. Let's talk again later.
- Goncourt: Don't let me keep you!
