Dialogue[edit]

For previous dialogue, see here.

First time talking
It's an energy smorgasbord out here. The Priory has been mobilized since the word "boo." With Halloween on our doorstep, Kryta is positively rife with spectral spottings.
(If a member of the Durmand Priory)
Talk more option tango.png I'm a member of the Durmand Priory. How can I help?
(Otherwise)
Talk more option tango.png I'd love to help out. Tell me how.
Phantom-tastic! Ha, right. So, our scholars were on the verge of a miraculous find: the actual biography of the Mad King himself! Unfortunately, there were several details left out.
Talk more option tango.png That is exciting. What do you plan to do?
We've co-opted a bit of archived tech that scans for very old energy. With our upgrades, the device now scans four categories of "oldness": water, gas, solids, and ether.
(If Statics asura)
Talk more option tango.png The VOED? My krewe invented that.
Indeed! Let me toss you a bird with more information and your very own scanner. We're missing six key moments from the Mad King's life. Report back when you've found them all!
Talk ready option.png This is going to be fun.
(for all)
Talk more option tango.png So I use this scanner to find bits of his life story and report back?
Indeed! Let me toss you a bird with more information and your very own scanner. We're missing six key moments from the Mad King's life. Report back when you've found them all!
Talk ready option.png This is going to be fun.
Talk end option tango.png Perhaps later, I'll check back.
Talk end option tango.png Too complicated for me.
Talk end option tango.png I was actually joking about the whole helping out part.
Talk end option tango.png Not interested right now.
Second time talking before completing Mad Mementos
Ah, <Character name>! How progresses the hunt for the Mad King's biography?
(If you do not have a Candy-Powered Matter Meter Mk2 in your inventory)
Talk more option tango.png I seem to have misplaced my matter meter. Can I have another?
Oh, certainly! You really should keep a hold on this, though. Our supplies are not infinite.
Talk ready option.png I'll do my best. Thanks. (Receives Candy-Powered Matter Meter Mk2)
(otherwise)
Talk more option tango.png Remind me what I need to do.
Use the candy-powered matter meter I mailed you to find ghosts from the Mad King's past. The pages they give you will contain clues to help your search. There may even be riches to be gained.
Talk end option tango.png I'm on it!
Talk end option tango.png I'm still searching.
After completing Mad Mementos
Have you found any new historical information, <Character name>? I can sense a new breakthrough for Mad King Thorn's biography!
Talk more option tango.png Remind me what I need to do.
The phantasmal conditions of Halloween present a unique opportunity to question Mad King Thorn's attendants directly. Try interviewing some of the upper echelon of his court!
Talk more option tango.png Do I still need to use the matter meter?
For good or bad, the Lunatic Court is quite tangible during Halloween. I don't think you'll need the matter meter to make contact.
Talk end option tango.png Got it, thanks.
Talk end option tango.png I'm on it!
(If you do not have a Candy-Powered Matter Meter Mk2 in your inventory)
Talk more option tango.png I seem to have misplaced my matter meter. Can I have another?
You shouldn't need one anymore, but I like your enthusiasm for the technology! Here, borrow one of the spares.
Talk ready option.png Thanks. I'll take better care of this one. (Receives Candy-Powered Matter Meter Mk2)
Talk end option tango.png I'm still searching.
After completing Mad Memorial
You're a legend at the Durmand Priory, <Character name>. Your contribution to history will go down in the annals of our order.
(In 2021 before entering the Mad King's Labyrinth)
Talk ls option tango.png I came as soon as I got your letter. What's new in the Mad Realm?
That's what I'm eager to know. And you're just the person to find out! I've heard whispers from visitors about...happenings in the Labyrinth. Travel there and keep your eyes and ears peeled.
Talk end option tango.png All right, I'll investigate.
(If you do not have a Candy-Powered Matter Meter Mk2 in your inventory)
Talk more option tango.png I seem to have misplaced my matter meter. Can I have another? (Same response as after completing Mad Mementos)
Talk end option tango.png My pleasure. Besides, I got this gorgeous book.
In 2021 after entering the Mad King's Labyrinth
Palawa Joko? In the Mad Realm? This could shed a new light on years of research, <Character name>! We've got to know more! Plus, there's the potential threat to Tyria in general...I suppose.
Talk more option tango.png I agree with at least part of that. What should I do?
I've got previous notes on one of King Thorn's minions...a "General Kernel." Start there—they must have some idea of what's going on.
Talk end option tango.png I'm on it.
Talk end option tango.png Listen. I have a lot of things to worry about, okay?
In 2021 as part of the Court Duty: All's Mad that Ends Mad achievement
You have the look of someone who's delved deep, deep into the mysteries of the world and returned with the truth...I hope?
Talk more option tango.png I've interviewed the responsible courtiers. I'm ready to make my report.
Magnificent! Let me get my papers... Autoscribe recorder... Okay, begin. On the subject of the new visitor in the Mad Realm...
Talk more option tango.png It's the real Palawa Joko.
I see, I see... Can you go into detail?
Talk more option tango.png After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.
Fascinating... And finally, what role, if any, did the Lunatic Court play in this?
Talk more option tango.png The courtiers gathered necessary relics from around Tyria.
Marvelous! This summary challenges a number of existing hypotheses on the Mad Realm's structures. Your contribution has been immense as always, <Character name>. Thank you for your diligence!
Talk end option tango.png And that's the end of that.
Talk more option tango.png The courtiers enacted a plan in the Mad Realm to prompt Joko's appearance. (same as "The courtiers gathered necessary relics from around Tyria.")
Talk more option tango.png The courtiers ultimately did nothing that affected this. They're useless! (same as "The courtiers gathered necessary relics from around Tyria.")
Talk more option tango.png Somehow the Lunatic Court recovered a fragment of his soul. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png Some piece of him was able to avoid death and retreat to the Mad Realm. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png That Palawa Joko is a fake.
I see, I see... Can you go into detail?
Talk more option tango.png It's simply an imposter acting out the role of Joko. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png It's just illusion magic, woven to conceal the truth. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png It's a mad spirit, coerced into believing it's Palawa Joko. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png It's Palawa Joko, but only in a sense.
I see, I see... Can you go into detail?
Talk more option tango.png It's the Palawa Joko of a different realm in the mists. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png It's leftover fragments of Joko, bound into a... projection of him. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk more option tango.png It's a projection of Joko's psyche previously imprinted on the Mad realm. (same as "After his death, he arrived naturally in the Mad Realm. Eventually.")
Talk end option tango.png Hold on, I'd like to review my notes.
Talk end option tango.png I need some time to reassemble my thoughts, hold on.
In 2023 before beginning The Night Time Stood Still
Happy Halloween, <Character name>! Another year, another opportunity to catalogue the eccentricities of the Mad Realm. Up for some investigative legwork?
Talk ls option tango.png Hopefully nothing too shocking?
Readings here seem normal—well, make that a very relative "normal"—but I've heard some chatter about a new development at the clock tower. Could you check it out?
Talk ls option tango.png This sounds dangerous, but for the sake of research, I'll go. Cautiously.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, I don't care for clocks or towers.
Talk end option tango.png Let's circle back on this later. I need to restock my candy hoard.
After climbing or failing the Stopped Clock Tower
Stopped? It's...actually stopped? I don't know what that could portend—if anything—but thank you for your contributions. Here's a little treat as compensation for any falling anxiety.
Talk ls option tango.png Thanks! Did you need anything else?
That's the only brewing crisis afoot this year, but we can't be too cautious when King Thorn is involved. Check in with me if you have any other investigative work ongoing!
Talk end option tango.png I'll do that. And happy Halloween, Tassi.
