Natalie (Dragalia Lost)

 ???: ...Nope. Not here.
 ???: ...Ain't here, neither.
 ???: ...Aaaand nothin'. Ugh!
Elisanne: Did you want these sunflowers placed in front of the store, ma'am?
Florist: Yes, that will be perfect. Thank you again for helping me tidy everything up.
Ranzal: It finally looks fit to open up shop. Should be able to do business as usual tomorrow!
Florist: I cannot thank you all enough. But...
Elisanne: Is something wrong? You don't look happy.
Florist: Well, my shop may be back to normal, but I don't know how many people will want to come here regardless.
Florist: Ever since the fiends attacked, more and more people have been leaving town.
Elisanne: That is unfortunate.
Ranzal: Yeah, but I can't really blame 'em. Fiends are enough to make most folks turn tail and never look back.
Elisanne: I suppose it is normal in such situations to want to go somewhere one can feel safe.
Florist: I have no intention of leaving this town, but it saddens me to see everyone do so.
Florist: Also, I'm not sure the ones who remain are in the mood for appreciating flowers.
Elisanne: There must be something we can—
 ???: FESTIVAAAAAL!
Elisanne: Egads! Who is that?!
Natalie: Hey, sorry for buttin' in all unannounced and junk. I'm Natalie—a festival planner.
Ranzal: The hell is a festival planner?
Natalie: We organize festivals, duh-doy! Basically we plan 'em all out, decide what's gonna happen when, and then make sure it does.
Ranzal: Okay. But how's a festival gonna help this here lady with her broke flower shop?
Natalie: If we liven up the town with a festival, everyone in it will cheer up, too!
Elisanne: Can something so simple truly work?
Natalie: I've seen this happen in more towns than you can count, lady.
Natalie: It'll work. Trust me.
Natalie: And wow, I gotta say, the flowers in this shop are great! I bet we could use 'em to make a big fancy decoration for the festival.
Ranzal: Are ya really gonna stand here and organize a festival all on yer own?
Natalie: Of course not—I'll need all of the townspeople to chip in.
Natalie: But if I can show 'em MY enthusiasm, that'll make 'em more likely to help.
Natalie: I gotta make 'em WANT a festival!
Ranzal: Heh. I like the way ya think, kid.
Elisanne: Taking action is always commendable, so long as the plan is sound.
Natalie: Aw, I'm gonna start blushin' over here.
Natalie: Listen up, flower lady: I'm gonna bring life back to this town. You can count on it!
Natalie: So just hang in there, yeah?
Florist: Well, this sounds like a wonderful plan! And please feel free to use my flowers in any ways that you might need.
Natalie: Right then! Time to track down the mayor of this joint and get him to sign the permission forms or whatever.
Natalie: ...Hey, so why're you guys still followin' me around?
Ranzal: You ain't been in town more than a hot second, yeah?
Ranzal: Figured we'd show ya where the mayor's place was.
Natalie: Hey, that'd be swell! Thanks!
Ranzal: Eh, don't mention it. You seem like a good kid, and this festival thingie kinda has me excited.
Elisanne: Still, if we might ask, why did you come to this town in the first place?
Natalie: Oh, yeah. So, my partner and I got separated during our travels.
Natalie: I got wind he's in this town, but I just can't find the guy.
Elisanne: Then should you not be searching for him instead of planning an event?
Natalie: Nah. Soon as I start preppin' for a festival, he'll pop his ugly mug outta the ground.
Elisanne: How can you be so certain?
Natalie: 'Cause he's a festival planner like me. And once he sees this sad sack town, he's gonna want to throw one here.
Natalie: Hell, he's probably plannin' it already.
Elisanne: He sounds like an interesting fellow. You must really trust him.
Natalie: I trust that his head is empty of anythin' 'cept festivals.
Elisanne: Erm...okay.
Natalie: Not that I'm a whole lot different. We both believe in the power of festivals!
Natalie: Don't matter HOW gloomy a town is— a festival will set it on its feet again.
Natalie: If we can't even do that, we oughta quit our jobs and go farm potatoes!
Ranzal: I'm likin' ya more by the minute, kid! Think it's time what ya meet the prince.
Ranzal: ...Well, speak of the man himself! Great timin', Euden!
Natalie: Wait. Who's that with...?
Natalie: There he is! Where the hell have you BEEN, Yaten?!
Yaten: You're here just in time, Natalie. Because guess what...

Yaten & Natalie: IT'S FESTIVAL TIIIME!
Yaten: Huh?
Natalie: Huh?
Yaten: Why'd you say the same thing as me?
Natalie: Guess we're just on the same wavelength.
Yaten: Well, you're right—the boss man here asked me to throw together a festival.
Natalie: Then let's make it a festival these folks ain't never gonna forget!
Euden: Hello there. I take it you are a festival planner like Yaten?
Euden: If so, we'd really appreciate your help in restoring some life to this town.
Natalie: You got it, Princey. Oh, and the name's Natalie—it's great to meet ya!

Cleo: ......
Euden: You look upset, Cleo. What is it?
Cleo: I have...nothing to do.
Cleo: When I awoke this morning, the cleaning, washing, and cooking were already done.
Euden: What? How?
Cleo: Natalie did it.
Euden: She did?
Cleo: Oh yes. In fact, I believe she's finishing the dishes as we speak.
Natalie: Cleoooo! The dishes are clean as a bean! Whaddya want me to do now?
Cleo: Er, I think that's everything that needs—
Natalie: Oh man, these windows are FILTHY! Lemme just clean 'em here.
Cleo: N-no! I can do that!
Natalie: Hell, it's the least I can do what with ya givin' me a place to crash and all.
Cleo: *sigh* You really are a hard worker.
Natalie: Yeah, I'm always doin' something when we're plannin' a festival—so if I ain't busy, I tend to get all jittery.
Euden: Festival planning sounds exhausting.
Natalie: Yeah, but not in a bad way. I love it.
Natalie: Hey, Princey! Lemme grab a bit'a yer mug for a second, yeah?
Euden: Sorry, WHAT are you doing?
Natalie: Aaaah ha ha ha! Guess a fancy napkin- user like you ain't heard that one before. "Lemme talk to ya a sec", is what it means.
Natalie: I need your help with the festival...
Natalie: Sounds great! Can't wait to see what ya come up with for your stall!
Baker: You won't be disappointed—I will have only my finest breads on display!
Natalie: Boy, gettin' people to agree to set up stalls is WAY easier with you around.
Natalie: Hell, I shoulda thought to drag royalty around with me years ago.
Euden: Er, thanks, I guess? Although I'm not really DOING anything here...
Euden: You're the one explaining everything. All I'm contributing is my support.
Natalie: Trust me, you're a huge help.
Euden: I am?
Natalie: Festivals belong to the place they're held. No matter how hard we try, they ain't gonna be a success without local help.
Euden: So that's why we're going around negotiating with the people here?
Natalie: Yep. Honestly, folks are usually kinda wary 'bout the idea of a festival at first.
Natalie: But the people here LOVE ya! Hell, they'd probably do cartwheels over hot coals if ya asked 'em to.
Euden: I'll probably not ask them to do that. Still, I guess I see my purpose now.
Natalie: Glad to hear it! Now if you're done, we got a lot more stops to make.
Natalie: ...C'mon. Ain't there SOME way I can change your mind?
Fishmonger: I'm sorry, but we really can't afford to spend time on something like this.
Natalie: I explained how much coin you're likely to make by puttin' out a stall, yeah? Plus, if this festival is a big success, it'll help your sales in the future!
Euden: Won't you please reconsider?
Fishmonger: I would love to help, Your Highness, but I'm afraid I truly cannot.
Fishmonger: I cannot run my shop and prepare for a festival at the same time—and if I shut down, how will I recover those lost sales?
Fishmonger: It might be hard for a prince to imagine, but a day of work is a day that we eat.
Fishmonger: We don't have the time to help with a festival that might end up as a total bust.
Natalie: All right, I get ya. Sorry for the headache.
Euden: Are you really giving up, Natalie?
Natalie: Hey, we can't force folks to help. And even if we tried... Huh?
Fishmonger's Wife: Terrible news, husband! Our boat was just taken away by the river's current!
Fishmonger: What?! We need to get it back right now!
Fishmonger's Wife: It's too late. It's already floated a good distance downstream.
Fishmonger: But...but how are we going to catch our fish without a boat?
Natalie: Ah, nuts to this!
Euden: Where are you going, Natalie?!
Natalie: To get their damn boat back!
Euden: She just jumped into the river!
Fishmonger: I can't believe you returned our boat...
Euden: I suppose all is well that ends well, but that was dangerous, Natalie. What if the current had taken YOU?
Natalie: Yeah, well, a gal never knows if she can do somethin' until she tries.
Fishmonger: But why did you help me when I just turned you down?
Natalie: Your boat ain't got nothin' to do with the festival. I was just bein' neighborly.
Natalie: I mean, what kinda jerk would I be if I got a kick outta watchin' folks suffer after they turned me down?
Fishmonger's Wife: Dear...
Fishmonger: ...I know. You're right.
Fishmonger: Er, miss? Perhaps I may have been a bit hasty with my original answer of "no." Is it too late to help with your festival?
Natalie: 'Course not! ...Er, but why?
Fishmonger: I am taking a page from your book.
Natalie: How's that?
Fishmonger: One never knows if they can do something until they try, yes?
Euden: We'd be thrilled for the help. Thank you.
Fishmonger: We're going to treat this town to the finest fish dishes they've ever had!
Natalie: Now THAT'S what I wanna hear!
Euden: I'm glad that all worked out.
Euden: (Natalie said people were only helping because I was there asking them...)
Euden: (But I think her energy and enthusiasm have much more to do with it.)
Natalie: Let's keep it up! We're gonna need more helpers to make this festival world-class!

Natalie: What're ya doin' here, outsider?
Yaten: Well, this village certainly is...sad.
Natalie: Ya got a real knack for statin' the obvious.
Natalie: Folks call this "the village the goddess abandoned." Nothin' but despair out here.
Yaten: Well, that all ends today.
Natalie: Say that again?
Yaten: I'm going to change this village for the better...
Natalie: Get UP, ya lazy jerk!
Yaten: Urgh... Gimme five more minutes... And stop pulling the covers off...
Natalie: Why, so ya can sleep in past noon? Get up and eat breakfast already!
Yaten: You need to lay off the caffeine.
Natalie: Just get your damn butt in gear!
Yaten: All right, all right. I'm up.
Natalie: *sigh* You sounded so full of yourself in my dream, but this is the reality.
Yaten: Urgh... I wanna go back to bed...
Euden: Good morning, Yaten. I see you got a rather rude awakening today, too.
Yaten: I hate mornings...
Natalie: Anything I can do to help, Cleo?
Cleo: I appreciate the thought, but I'm fine. You should get some rest.
Elisanne: Meanwhile, Natalie is very much a morning type. Which is good for us, but...
Ranzal: Yeah, I'm amazed these two can work together, what with bein' total opposites.
Yaten: Same here... *yawn*
Natalie: Get it together already—you have to get that entire float finished today!
Yaten: Oh, crap. You're right!
Notte: Well, he perked up fast.
Yaten: I gotta eat, then get over there and put the finishing touches on everything!
Elisanne: He clearly does nothing in half-measures.
Cleo: Indeed. Festivals turn him into a different person entirely.
Yaten: I've sworn to never lift a finger unless a festival's involved.
Natalie: That's nothing to boast about, ya dope! Now if you're done stuffin' your face, we're gettin' outta here!
Elisanne: I brought you something to eat, Natalie.
Natalie: Thanks.
Elisanne: Hmm? Is Yaten not with you?
Natalie: He's probably off seein' how all the stalls are comin' along.
Natalie: He knows I can handle this.
Elisanne: You aren't even considering the possibility that he might be slacking off?
Natalie: Heh. Not when it comes to a festival. If he was that kinda guy, I wouldn't be here now.
Elisanne: What do you mean?
Natalie: See, I was born in a charming place known as "the village the goddess abandoned."
Natalie: It was so poor, we didn't even have a church. Oh, and my mother eventually ran out and left me on my own.
Elisanne: Then you were raised in an orphanage?
Natalie: Orphanage? Hah! We didn't have one of those either.
Natalie: Everyone looked out for themselves. That's just how it was.
Natalie: Wasn't time to be looking after others.
Natalie: I was just a kid, but I still did things in order to live. ...BAD things.
Natalie: But just as I was gettin' sick of the life, my pal Yaten showed up.
Yaten: I'm going to change this village for the better...
Yaten: What this place needs is a festival!
Natalie: Well, THAT caught me off guard.
Elisanne: And did his plan actually work? Was it truly so simple?
Natalie: Oh, it was anything BUT simple.
Natalie: No one would give the guy the time'a day at first—yours truly included.
Natalie: But then he said somethin' that just sorta...stuck with me.
Natalie: He said that if our village was abandoned by the goddess, that meant we could hold the craziest festival ever because she wouldn't be watchin'!
Elisanne: ...Such talk borders on blasphemy.
Natalie: Aaah ha ha! Guess I shouldn't have said that in front of a Paladyn, yeah?
Natalie: Anyway, at the time it sounded like a total hoot.
Natalie: Pretty soon, the whole village turned out to help throw the festival together.
Natalie: And people were... They were SMILING. I ain't never seen that before!
Elisanne: So what happened?
Natalie: Yaten's festival drew a huge crowd, and our little village grew into a town.
Natalie: We were abandoned no more.
Elisanne: I had no idea festivals could have quite so profound an effect.
Natalie: That makes two of us. Ya coulda knocked me over with a feather when I saw it.
Natalie: Found myself thinkin' that maybe this festival gig was the kinda life I wanted.
Natalie: So when Yaten left town, I followed. He tried to shoo me away at first, but eventually he took me on as a kind of assistant-slash-apprentice.
Elisanne: He must have been a challenging master.
Natalie: Ha! Was and is still! But that's just the price ya pay what for fallin' in love.
Elisanne: You LOVE him?!
Natalie: What? No! Gross! I love his FESTIVALS.
Natalie: I mean, look at this float decoration. Yaten spent DAYS on it.
Elisanne: It is stunning—and so delicately finished!
Elisanne: But the design looks somehow familiar...
Natalie: He based it on one of this town's traditional designs.
Natalie: He's always saying how festivals belong to the town they're held in, which is why ya gotta work local stuff in.
Elisanne: His passion really is second to none.
Natalie: For festivals, at least. Rest of the time, he's just a hopeless slob.
Natalie: But I love what he creates, and I'm happy to give my all to see it happen.
Elisanne: Just hearing you speak so makes me anticipate this festival all the more.
Natalie: You ain't gonna be disappointed!

Euden: We did it! The festival is on!
Notte: Everyone's having a blast!
Euden: Thanks for all your hard work, everyone. This festival has been a huge success.
Natalie: It's way too early to be calling this thing done, Princey.
Natalie: The work of a festival planner has only just begun at this point.
Notte: It has?
Yaten: Festivals are meant to be fun—and fun attracts lots of people. But what happens when lots of people are together?
Natalie: Trouble, that's what! Kids gettin' lost, pockets bein' picked, all that crap.
Yaten: It falls to us to sort all that out.
Baker: Heeeeelp!
Natalie: See what I mean?
Baker: Help! Someone stole the float decoration!
Yaten & Natalie: What?!
Natalie: The golden one Yaten made?!
Baker: That's the one. Oh, and everyone just loved it, too!
Yaten: There's still time before we need to bring the float out—let's go get it back!
Natalie: You ain't going anywhere, pal. You gotta stay here and supervise.
Natalie: Don't worry—I got this.
Yaten: You sure?
Natalie: Hell, I at least gotta TRY, right?
Yaten: I don't wanna hear you say "I gave it my best, but it wasn't enough."
Natalie: Heh. You won't have to.
Euden: I'll help.
Notte: Oh, and me! I can fly around and look for it from the skies or whatever!
Natalie: Then let's do this!
Natalie: ...This way.
Euden: You seem very sure about the path you're leading us down. Why is that?
Natalie: I'm from a rundown little village— I know how a lowlife thinks.
Natalie: This area is full of kids' stuff—so while the whole town's loaded with people, this section is just a buncha kids.
Natalie: To a bandit, kids are dumb as hell— which makes this a perfect escape route.
Euden: Huh. Clever.
Natalie: ...Hey there, little lady.
Child: Me?
Natalie: Say, ya didn't see someone carryin' a bag about yay big come through here, didja?
Child: Yeah! They went...uh...that way!
Natalie: Thanks, kid. That's a big help.
Child: You're one of the festival people! Did something happen?
Natalie: Just gettin' stuff ready is all.
Natalie: I'm gonna look over that way. Princey, you check over there.
Euden: All right. See you in a bit.
Bandit 1: Bwaaa ha ha! Who knew we'd get this rich from a freakin' FESTIVAL?!
Bandit 2: Right?! This thing's pure gold!
Bandit 3: Everyone's so focused on havin' fun, we can rob 'em blind and no one'll ever be the wiser! Bwaaa ha ha ha!
Natalie: So YOU'RE our thieves, huh?
Bandit 1: Huh?! Who's there?!
Natalie: Look, pal, just hand over the float decoration and we can all walk away.
Bandit 1: Fat chance! I'm outta here!
Natalie: Hey, wait!
Bandit 1: Bwaa ha ha! Those losers are too slow!
 ???: TAAAAKE THIS!
Bandit 1: What in the...?! Aw, crap!
Bandit 2: Don't drop the decoration, ya idiot! That's worth a boatload'a money!
Bandit 1: I know, but this damn kid—
Child: Give that back, you meanie! That's for the festival!
Bandit 1: Kid? You're about to learn one hell of a lesson in manne—
Natalie: Hands off, creep!
Natalie: I'll be taking that decoration back. Yoink!
Bandit 1: Aw, damn it all!
Natalie: Nice work, kid. Now get over here!
Bandit 2: She ain't goin' nowheres!
Child: Eeek!
Natalie: Don't be stupid, pal!
Bandit 2: If you want this girl back with all her bits'n pieces, you'll give us that decoration.
Child: I'm scaaared!
Natalie: Coward!
Bandit 1: I'm just doin' what I gotta do, lady.
Natalie: ...Huh. I guess I can't really talk. Hell, I used to be the same way.
Natalie: All right, fine. You can have it.
Bandit 2: Make with handin' it over already!
Natalie: ...CATCH!
Bandit 3: Whoa! She threw it!
Bandit 1: Catch the damn thing already!
Natalie: Gotcha!
Bandits: Aaargh!
Euden: What was that scream... Hey, that's the decoration, falling from the sky!
Natalie: Nice catch, Euden!
Natalie: Don't worry, kid. It's over now.
Child: Yaaay! Thank you!
Euden: What happened, Natalie?
Euden: ...I see. Well, I'm glad you're both okay.
Euden: But I'm sorry I couldn't make it sooner.
Natalie: Hey, you saved the decoration! That makes ya a big hero.
Euden: I just got lucky. It never occurred to me that you'd actually THROW it.
Euden: It's really important for the float, right?
Natalie: Well, sure—and the float is the star of the festival. But...
Natalie: The star is there for people to enjoy it.
Natalie: Can't go forward with a festival while someone's cryin'!
Child: Does that go on the float?
Natalie: It sure does, kid. It goes right on the...
Natalie: Oh, crap! We gotta get this to the float!
Natalie: Can I leave the kid with you, Princey?
Euden: Of course.
Child: Good luck! I can't wait to see the float!
Natalie: You're gonna love it.
Yaten: Well, that was a close thing.
Natalie: Told ya I'd get it done.
Natalie: Well, now that we're all ready, let's get this thing movin'!
Natalie: After me! Wooo! Wooo!

Natalie: Aaah... Lanterns and music really make ya feel like you're at a festival.
Euden: There you are.
Natalie: Heya, Princey! What's up?
Euden: I just came to bring you some food from the stalls. You've been busy monitoring everything and I know you haven't eaten.
Natalie: Well, thanks a million! Oh hey, is this from the fishmonger's stall?
Natalie: *chomp* Oh man, this is GREAT.
Euden: Everyone seems to agree with you— they've been doing a lot of business.
Natalie: Glad to hear it! I was only able to stop by for a brief "hi," so I didn't know how things were going.
Natalie: So...ya been enjoyin' the festival?
Euden: It's amazing.
Euden: The food is incredible, and that art piece at the florist was simply stunning.
Natalie: Yeah, the owner was pretty proud of that.
Natalie: I'm glad folks got to see it.
Euden: This festival is making everyone happy.
Euden: I've never seen so many smiling faces.
Natalie: Yeah, they're somethin' all right. So which part didja like best?
Euden: Hmm... Probably the float.
Euden: It was really something!
Natalie: That's a good eye ya got, Princey.
Natalie: The float was what caught my eye at MY first festival, too.
Euden: Really?
Natalie: Yeah. It was love at first sight. The folks liftin' it... Everyone watchin'... They were all so full of life, and it was like they were united as one!
Natalie: Somethin' about a float just reaches out and grabs your heart, ya know?
Euden: It really was the star of the festival.
Natalie: Ha ha! No doubt.
Euden: You really do love floats, don't you?
Natalie: Ya better believe it! Hell, leadin' the float in the parade is my favorite part'a the job.
Natalie: It's like I'm spreadin' cheer everywhere I go.
Natalie: Ya can't beat that with a stick.
Euden: I'm glad we were able to bring it out, despite the difficulties.
Euden: I guess when you think about it, I'm kind of like a float myself.
Natalie: I ain't followin' ya.
Euden: Well, both countries and royalty are "carried" by the general population.
Natalie: Yeaaaah, that ain't the same.
Natalie: I mean, sure, we all shoulder our countries like a float to some extent, but you ain't exactly bein' carried.
Euden: You don't think?
Natalie: Hell no! You're out in the front lines helpin' folks or whatever. In truth, you're more like the guy what CARRIES the float than somebody ridin' on it.
Euden: Huh. I didn't think of it like that.
Euden: Still, I think I have a long way to go.
Euden: I'd give anything to have your confidence.
Natalie: Me? I doubt myself all the damn time!
Euden: I'm shocked to hear that.
Natalie: 'Course I do—I just can't SAY nothin' about it once the festival gets goin'.
Natalie: Instead, I just charge ahead and hope it all comes out clean in the wash.
Natalie: Once everything's over, then I can go back, figure out what I did wrong, and make it better the next time.
Natalie: I love what I do, so I wanna keep gettin' better at it. What about you?
Euden: I suppose I'm the same way.
Euden: I love this country and its people, so as flawed as I am, I'm going to charge in and help however I can.
Natalie: Hey, that gives me an idea!
Natalie: Let's both swear to become the best leaders we can be!
Euden: Er...okay?
Natalie: C'mon! Nothin' motivates a person like havin' someone else with the same goal!
Natalie: So let's both swear to become the best leaders we can.
Euden: That's a fine idea.
Euden: One day, I WILL become a man fit to lead this country.
Natalie: And I'll become somebody whose float can liven up ANY town!
Natalie: You can count on it!
Natalie: Right then! Three cheers to the future!
Euden: Hip-hip...
Together: HUZZAH!
