Air Deck
Traveler (man in green hat and vest with his family): We heard it would be hot in Dalmasca, so we dressed the part. A little chilly out on deck, though.
Imperial: That little girl just over there’s been staring up at the sky for some time. Not doing anything dangerous, mind you, but something’s not right.
Paranoid Man: I am not here to enjoy the wind against my face or any such mean pleasure in which these others bask. No, I am here to search the skies! They’re out there, yes. Out there, at the edge of vision! Waiting, watching… Had I the funds, I would buy an airship for their study. (sigh)
Caution! (signs all around railing on upper and lower decks): For your own and others’ safety, please remain behind railing at all times.
Caution! (two signs on upper deck): Authorized personnel only!
Troubled Passenger: You have troubles, friend? I went to Archades chasin’ dreams, but all I found was trouble. Finally weren’t nothin’ left but to run away. Out here though, fresh air in my lungs, sky above my head, my troubles don’t seem so bad.
Innocent Girl: Look how high we are! I can see forever! But what if I fell… Hey, no pushing!
Sky Saloon
Charming Woman: I’ll finish my drink alone, thank you.
Migrant Laborer: You from Rabanastre? Same here. Work keeps me away more than I’d like. I was away during the war, too. Heard a friend o’ mine got driven out of the city. Plan on payin’ him a visit soon.
Saloon Steward: Interest you in a frothy mug o’ scuttlebutt?
>A Rabanastre, my good man!
One Rabanastre, comin’ right up! Last time I was in Rabanastre, let’s see… Right after Princess Ashe was born, musta been. Ninth in the Dalmascan line, and the first girl. The people were overjoyed, that they were. The city bustled with life. Rabanastre’s fallen on hard times, but she’ll get back that ol’ magick of hers, just you watch.
>I don’t drink.
Not too quick, are you, boy? You wouldn’t know a joke if it bit you on the tail.
[For dialogue with the Chief Steward and Rande, see “Side Quests – the Seven Sisters.”]
Steward: This door leads to our guest cabins. If you’d like to retire until we reach port, you should find the cabins quite comfortable. Should you wish to use a cabin, speak with the chief steward at the counter to my left. She’ll only be too happy to assist you.
