Miners' End

Bhujerban Sainikah: Kah? The dayworkers? No, today there is no mining in Lhusu. Have you not heard? An inspection party from the Empire has come.

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler! Welcome to Bhujerba. I am a parijanah, a guide to our fair city. If you would go to the Lhusu Mines, head down this slope, and north along Miners’ End. Know the mines are closed now. There is no entry.

Miners’ Ender (man in turban and green & brown shorts leaning against wall): Have I seen you in Miners’ End before? I thought not. Welcome, bhadra. Perhaps you are here to enjoy the flavor of old Bhujerba?

Bhujerban Guru: Ah… I seen some sour-lookin’ bangaa about. Eh? Bangaa… and a hume girl? Sorry, bhadra. Seen nothin’ of the sort.

Shop Clerk: Welcome to Clio’s Technicks, kupo! Open for business, and ready to serve!

Clio’s Technicks (sign): His Excellency having deemed Technicks nonessential to Mining Operations, we operate without Charter. Rest assured that all Technicks bear our personal guarantee!

Miners’ Ender (moogle with orange pom-pom sitting on ledge below technickery entrance): Oh, on a typical day, I find myself down in the mines, fixing the carts, the tracks, the diggers… But today is a holiday, kupo!

Miners’ Ender (man with white turban and dark pants): Have you wondered at the lack of fallows and fields in Bhujerba, bhadra? Yes, we have little space for such things. That is why we must sell our Stones and import what foodstuffs we need.

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink and tan sitting on ledge at bottom of hill): I’ve just finished work in Rabanastre… What a terrible place it is. The Empire is everywhere. I felt quite suffocated, yes.

Miner’s Ender (man sitting on ledge speaking to woman): The soldiers, it seems they are looking for someone. I hope they find whoever it is, and leave us soon. Can they not see we are in love?

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink, blue, and green walking and talking to various people): You may see many Imperials about, bhadra, but it is not always so. Bhujerbans are a proud, independent people. Not cows like the Dalmascans.

Lhusu Miner (orange seeq sitting against wall): Hanta! One of the Imperials, in his haste he has stepped upon my foot! Ayi… Next I see him, he shall pay. Bhorta swears it!

Miners’ Ender (moogle with green pom-pom sitting on crate): The Imperials seem quite agitated today, kupo! How am I to take my nap with all this toing and froing?

Miners’ Ender Kid: How I wanted to play on the Kaff Terrace, but the Imperials, they block our way! It is not fair! Back to Archades with you, murkha Imperials!

City Parijanah: Lost your way? Allow a parijanah to assist you! Ah, you go to the Lhusu Mines, perhaps? This road, it leads to Kaff Terrace. If you go straight up this slope, you will reach a junction. There, go to the east and you will find the road to the mines.

[If you try to go the way of the blockade...]

Imperial: Sorry, sir, but this way is temporarily closed. Go back the way you came. That’s right.

Lhusu Miner (black bangaa looking up at moogle on ledge): Moogle! Your days are numbered, do you hear me!? Come down here at once! Adhuna! Now!

Miners’ Ender (woman in blue, yellow, and pink speaking with group): No, of course I do not like the Imperials on our streets, but it is better than resisting them and ending up like Dalmasca, no? Independence is not won for free, you see.

Lhusu Parivir: Nnh? This here’s Miners’ End, bhadra. Lhusu, that’s north… But it’s closed, say the criers. How’s a seeq to earn an honest day’s wage?

Miners’ Ender (moogle in yellow with orange pom-pom): Oh, so many hills in this town, kupo! I suppose that’s what the travelers come here to see. But me, I cannot see for the sweat in my eyes, kupo!

Lhusu Miner (man in dark shorts sitting on rail outside gambit shop): Good day, bhadra. Have you been to the mines? I am a miner, you see. We who dig the Stones must be ready for raksas attacks, to fight them as one. That is why we frequent Bashketi’s Gambits!

Bashketi’s Gambits (sign): Gambits having been deemed nonessential to Mining Operations, we operate without Charter, though we believe Efficiency is quintessential!

Miners’ Ender (woman in pink and tan with headscarf, leaning against archway): Ah, you seem new to this place, yes? You do know where you are? We are on Dorstonis, one of the purvama, the floating lands. Many are the visitors from all parts of Ivalice who come to see the wonder that is Bhujerba. That is why the city employs guides, the parijanah.

Bhujerban Sainikah: Haa? The Lhusu Mines? They are closed, bhadra. You are a traveler, yes? I do not think they will let you in, with the Imperial inspections.

City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. How may I assist you? Should you go east from this junction, you will reach the mines. West, Cloudborne Row.

Lhusu Miner (man in green & brown shorts sitting on ledge, left side of junction): Today the mines are closed and so I think to go to the Cloudborne for a drink, yes? What is the harm in a drink?
