Dialogue

(First interaction): Nereides: Heh... Hah haha.... Hahaha... Whoa, what a huge sea slug...; Nereides: Oh... What brings you to the shore? Do you want some ambrosia?; How much did you have to drink?; What, a few sips and you're already this far gone?; Nereides: Yep... One mug, two mugs... one keg, two kegs... Keep going... You too...; Nereides: Ahem... Let me be clear... I, old though I am, am no drunkard. This is... a state of ecstatic communion. The more I drink... the clearer... the divine prophecy becomes...; Nereides: Can you... hear Lady Hysilens's song? Praise... praise our Lady. You who restored the seas to clarity, you who blessed the ambrosia with sweetness...; Nereides: Come, partake of her grace... surrender to revelry...

(Subsequent interactions)

In the illusion sculpted by the authority of Ocean, a bubble of a drunken demigod emerged...

Nereides: Drink... drink deeper... O great sea goddess, this humble servant awaits your next decree...

To which sea god did you serve as priest?

Nereides: The—*hic*—the sea... of course, it's Lady Hysilens! Guardian of the tides, the only demigod worthy of our devotion—

Nereides: Phagousa is but a phantom.... a dead echo! Merely a vessel for my lady's flame, a stepping stone for ascension!

Nereides: Behold... behold Styxia — once shrouded in "Death's" delusions, but the storm... shall shatter illusions and exile silence with frenzy...

Nereides: Come... drink... dance, sing — praise our Lady, offer her... all the world's finest wines,,, [sic]

Is your... current state of "ecstatic communion" legitimate...

Nereides: Hah! Look at you... Isn't our creed as Chalice of Plenty followers to drown in revelry... to bathe in delirium?

Nereides: Besides... as a fading echo of her memory, my most devout offering... is to sink with her... into this drunken dream...

You know the truth?

Nereides: What's real... and what's false? All I know... is that my lady wills me to linger here...

Nereides: Our devout lineage of sea priests... blessed by Lady Hysilens's blade... came to this demigod battlefield... to serve her who sings in the abyss...

Nereides: We hoped faith might soothe the sea's weariness... but it was all in vain... She never gazes upon our worship, and only sings endlessly...

Nereides: Yet I know... I know... in moments when we drink honey brew and indulge in revelry... her song trembles... She must long to join our festivity. My Lady... is lonely one...

Nereides: So I... wake... then drink again... to keep her company... My faith is ecstasy... I yearn to hear her voice... to end her solitude... her despair... to wait together...

Nereides: Until... at last... I remain in this banquet, forever drunk on her melody...

I still have things to do. See you around.

Nereides: ...Drink... Keep drinking... Lady Hysilens...

Beyond Time: An Eternal Page

Nereides: Hehehe... What grains of sand have clouded your vision, what ocean currents... have made you lose your way?

Nereides: ...I can sense it... Your soul is already overwhelmed...

Caenis: Shut up! What I choose to do... needs no drunkard's "wise" advice.

Caenis: I know what I'm doing, and I know what price I'll have to pay.

Caenis: How many... how many inheritances, how many lifetimes of memories have I carried, all for... all for...

Caenis: ...F—For... for what?

Nereides: Ah... I saw it!

Nereides: Deep in the depths of your pupils... crimson blood drips from the Chrysos blade. Just a single drop is enough to dye an entire ocean red...

Nereides: Ah, you... you're just like a fish, forever swept along by the currents of hatred...

Nereides: Why don't we... lose ourselves in the revelry together... forget the memories that torment you, forget the deep-seated hatred, and forget yourself...

Caenis: How could I forget, after all this time?

Caenis: Ah... first there was one mistake. Then came countless others.
