These are [[Eugene]]'s dialogues.

== Intro ==
{{DialogueLine|Angry Guy|...Don’t make me tell you again! Harbourtown won’t fall to you blood suckers!}}
{{DialogueLine|Pale Man|Tsk. So unreasonable...}}
{{DialogueLine|Angry Guy|Crawl back to the darkness you came from – or you’ll have to go through me!}}
{{DialogueLine|Angry Guy|I’ve fought your kind before and won. Do you want a demonstration?}}
{{DialogueLine|Pale Man|We shall leave for now...}}
{{DialogueLine|Pale Man|But in time you shall understand that we know what is best for you all.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Tell the rest of your kind that this town is protected by Eugene!}}
''(The [[Landkeepers]] leave. Eugene now addresses an old woman.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Let me know if those creeps bother you again, ma’am.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|And whatever you do, DON’T invite them into your house. That’s what they want.}}
{{DialogueLine|Woman|I will keep that in mind. Thank you for intervening, young man!}}
''(The old woman leaves. Eugene now addresses the player.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Oh, hey. Sorry you had to see that.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The name’s Eugene… Which I guess you know, ‘cause I just yelled it at those guys.}}
''(The player can only respond with "I'm <player>!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Always nice to meet a new face around here, <player>.}}
''(Choice between "Who were those people?" and "What was that all about?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I won’t trouble you with the details – but they don’t belong in this world.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Anyway, I gotta go stake out those guys. I can’t risk them sinking their teeth into the good people of Harbourtown.}}
''(Choice between "Can I help?" and "Do you need some assistance?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|If you’re willing to get your hands dirty, I’d be glad to have you assist!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Meet me at this location. I’ll give you the full low-down when you’re there.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Just… prepare yourself for a throwdown. Things might get kinda ugly.}}

== [[Acting On Your Best Behaviour]] ==
=== First [[Landkeeper Office]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Glad you turned up!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Are you ready to take on the forces of evil?}}
''(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")''
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "Sure!"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Momentous!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Alright, do you see that building over there?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That’s a stronghold – it’s where these inhuman parasites form their dark plots to take over this world. |indent=2}}
''(Choice between "It doesn’t look that impressive." and "It looks a bit plain, doesn’t it?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Looks can be deceiving, buddy.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Their kind once plagued the world I came from, but we fought back. We WON.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|There are a few of these strongholds – you might have seen them around. They lock the front doors, but we can drop in through a window on the roof. |indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Try gliding over from here – I’ll be by your side, don’t worry about it.||indent=2}}
''(Eugene is unlocked as a partner.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I nabbed the window key from one of those ghouls while they were patrolling.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|We’re gonna drop right on in there and flush them out – you ready?|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "Born ready!" and "Let's do this!")''

''(Inside the Landkeeper Office.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|We’re taking down your operation, you leeches!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Pale Man|You are being very uncooperative, young man.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Pale Man|Why don't you... listen to our sales pitch?|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "Sales pitch? Wait, what is this?" and "Did he just say 'sales pitch'?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|… What do you mean?|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "I thought they were… Vampires." and "Didn’t you heavily imply that they’re vampires?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|They are vampires!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Well, in a manner of speaking...|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'd say they're WORSE than vampires...|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|They're estate agents!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|The Landkeeper’s Association simply wants to formulate a long-term housing market within New Wirral.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|If you buy in now, you can make a significant profit from any future arrivals who will need housing.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|Since New Wirral has no currency, we even have a promising repossession scheme in development.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’ve heard enough! Harbourtown will never be bought out by your kind!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|<player>...|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Are you ready?|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "Let’s show them what we’re made of!" and "Uh, I guess so!")''

''(The Landkeepers are defeated in combat.)''
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|Market growth is inevitable. WE are inevitable.|indent=2}}
''(The Landkeepers retreat.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|A small victory, but there’s more work to be done.|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "Are you sure they’re really that bad?" and "They don’t sound that dangerous…")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|These “Landkeepers” seek to profit off of our collective misery!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I don’t know how they got here…|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But I intend to stop them, as the defender of Harbourtown!|indent=2}}
''(The player can only respond with "Do you want some help with that, 'defender of Harbourtown'?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Some help would be appreciated, yeah.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Keep your eyes peeled for the other strongholds, and listen up for rumours when you're in town.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Also, take this.|indent=2}}
''(Eugene gives the window key to the player.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You can open the roof windows on your own now.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "Not now."}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I understand. Let me know when you’re ready – I’ll keep assessing the situation until then.|indent=2}}
=== Other Landkeeper offices ===
''(In the second Landkeeper office.)''
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is [[Kayleigh]]}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|We won’t allow you to buy out New Wirral!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Eugene}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Excuse us for dropping in!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is [[Meredith]]}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|Huh… Where did these creeps get all this stuff, anyway?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is [[Felix]]}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|I’m appreciating the aesthetic here. Very “soul-crushing salary job”.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is [[Viola]]}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|Your foul machinations end here, fiends!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|Such short-sightedness you young people possess... Can’t you appreciate the investment opportunities we could open up for you?}}
''(After battle.)''
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Kayleigh}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|We really showed those agents, huh? Eugene will be pleased!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Eugene}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Alright, nice work! Maybe these parasites will start to realise who they’re messin’ with!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Meredith}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|Those guys are seriously trying to buy out New Wirral? I certainly don’t feel bad about beating them up, that’s for sure.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Felix}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|Those guys are definitely bad news. Let’s hope they don’t come back here anytime soon.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Viola}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|Those fiends spoke quickly, but fled quicker.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is [[Barkley]]}}
::*The Landkeepers fled...


''(In the third Landkeeper office.)''
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|If you don’t vacate immediately, we’ll be forced to evict you ourselves...}}
''(After battle.)''
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Kayleigh}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|Another office cleared out! Nice teamwork, <player>!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Eugene}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Another office liberated from those creeps! Nice work, <player>!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Meredith}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|I am glad that punching those guys really hard is considered a public service.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Felix}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|How did those creepy estate agent guys even build a place like this?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Viola}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|They truly are unearthly types, are they not?|indent=2}}


''(In the fourth Landkeeper office.)''
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|As prospective tenants, it is in your best interests to remain on good terms with the Landkeeper’s Association.}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|You wouldn’t want to be cast out of your homes, would you?}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Kayleigh}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|That sounds like a threat to me…|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Eugene}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|If you think you’re taking anything from us, you might want to re-evaluate!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Meredith}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|That’s a pretty dark thing to say.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Felix}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|We’re going all out with the veiled threats, I see.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Viola}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|Your blood must run cold if you could dispense such threats without hesitation.|indent=2}}
''(After battle.)''
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Kayleigh}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|Eugene will be happy to hear we sent these clowns packing!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Eugene}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|They didn’t stand a chance!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Meredith}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|Another office sorted out! I’m sure Eugene will appreciate us doing his job for him.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Felix}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|They ran out of here pretty quickly, huh? Maybe they realised they were totally outmatched.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Viola}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|I am glad to see those fiends gone.|indent=2}}


''(In the fifth Landkeeper office.)''
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|New Wirral would experience such growth with a regulated housing market in place!}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|There is no need to fight progress!}}
''(After battle.)''
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|Perhaps you’d be interested in speaking to our manager at the Association Headquarters?}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeeper|Maybe we can reach a mutually beneficial agreement there. I shall give you the location.}}
''(The Landkeepers leave.)''
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Kayleigh}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|Was that the last office cleared out? Let’s hope they don’t come back!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Eugene}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The Landkeepers have a central base of operations?!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is our chance to put a stop to them once and for all!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|C’mon, we haven’t got a moment to waste!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Meredith}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|Oh, was this the last office that needed sorting out? Is this whole thing over, then?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Felix}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|C’mon, let’s get out of here! This was the last office building you needed to sort out, right?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If current partner is Viola}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|I care not for those fiends. I am sure they will live to regret treating us with such hostility.|indent=2}}
''(If Eugene is not the active partner, the player is directed to speak to him. Upon switching, the conditional dialogue above plays and the quest continues normally.)''

=== [[Landkeeper HQ]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is supposedly the location of the Landkeeper's Headquarters...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Alright - these creeps are no match for our burning resolve!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Where the hell is the entrance anyway?}}
''(Entrance to HQ opens.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I think I found the entrance.}}
''(Inside the HQ. Landkeepers speak as you walk further into the HQ.)''
{{DialogueLine|Landkeepers|NO FIXED-RATE MORTGAGES…}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeepers|INCREASING EQUITY...}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeepers|ADJUSTABLE MARKET CAP RATES...}}
{{DialogueLine|Landkeepers|CAPITAL GROWTH...}}
''(Landkeepers and [[Mammon]] are revealed from the darkness.)''
{{DialogueLine|Mammon|Thank you for arriving at our scheduled meeting. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So you’re behind this, huh?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So tell me: Why would an Archangel try to take over the property market?!}}
{{DialogueLine|Mammon|My kin are born of humanity’s ego. The strongest desires of your kind give us form. I exist as tribute to mankind’s consumption. I want order because you do. I crave structure because you do.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Mammon|I want what you want, Human Eugene. I can read your heart.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You don’t know a SINGLE thing about me.}}
{{DialogueLine|Mammon|I sympathise with the Human Eugene. The Human Eugene finds no value in themselves outside of their cause.}}
{{DialogueLine|Mammon|Without a cause, the Human Eugene is nothing. A hollow shell. Just like my agents.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That's not... true...}}
''(Choice between "Don't listen to it, Eugene!" and "It's wrong!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|STOP!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm not listening any longer!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You won't crush my spirit! That's all your kind knows how to do!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Some bigwig comes along, tries to take everything from the little guy...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|And then when the little guy fights back, they're told not to step out of line, right?!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So they don't do anything... And things just get worse!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It's the same old story!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|<player>...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Wanna burn down this pile of junk?}}
''(Choice between "You know I do." and "Let's do it.")''

''(Mid-battle against Mammon.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You're not gonna crush my spirit...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|And you won't stop <player> so easily either!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|We'll take you on together, and we'll WIN!}}

''(After Mammon is defeated.)''
{{DialogueCondition|If the player has not yet defeated [[Aleph]]}}
{{DialogueLine|Aleph|HO HO, QUITE THE OPERATION YOU HAVE HERE, MR. MAMMON!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Aleph|IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN DELEGATE. THAT’S A VALUABLE SKILL!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Aleph|LET ME HELP YOU GET OUT OF HERE.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This place is falling apart. C'mon, we gotta go!}}
''(The player, Eugene, and the Landkeepers escape the collapsing HQ.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I guess all the Landkeeper agents fled... I wonder what they'll do, now their operation has been shut down?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, it was pretty cool when we fused in there.}}
''(Choice between "You think?" and "It was, wasn't it?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah! It was like an adrenaline rush, except I could feel your will driving me as well as my own. Even an Archangel couldn't stop us!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|An Archangel was behind the Landkeepers all along, huh...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What it said there... What if it was true?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe without some cause to champion all the time, I am just a hollow person.}}
''(Choice between "I don't think you're a loser." and "You shouldn't think that way.")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Heh. Thanks, man.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What motivates YOU to do what you do, anyway?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Y'know, you journey around, help people out, fight monsters and all that?}}
''(Choice between "I've discovered a way off the island." and "I'm going to find a way to return home.")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Hmm. Sounds pretty improbable.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm in.}}
''(Choice between "Really?" and "Just like that?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Just like that!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|We've stopped the Landkeepers, but I don't wanna just rest my feet.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I don't know if I physically can.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I need ''something'' to strive towards.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So let's do it. A new cause to work towards.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm in.}}

== Relationship Level Scenes ==
=== Relationship Level 2 ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, I gotta say...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Monster fusion is pretty exhilarating.}}
''(Choice between "You think?" and "I guess it is!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah! It's like...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|A real manifestation of our inner strength.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Like, in the heat of the moment, our aims align so closely that we can literally become one powerful force.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|In that moment, it's like we're unstoppable.}}
''(Choice between "I know what you mean!" and "You sound like an anime character right now.")''
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "I know what you mean!"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, I knew you'd get it!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "You sound like an anime character right now."}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, I'm trying to be earnest here!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I think I spent too long living without giving back, y'know?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe I'm making up for lost time.}}
''(Choice between "What's the deal with your world?" and "What was happening on your world?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Eh, don't worry about it. We can talk about it another time.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'll go back. To my world, I mean. Once you find your doorway outta here, of course.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'll bring my cassette tapes with me, and I'll stand up for the people who need it the most.}}
{{DialogueLine|Player|Like a monster-shaped superhero?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Like a monster-shaped superhero, yeah.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Sounds pretty badass, doesn't it?}}

=== Relationship Level 3 ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I was thinking about how Clémence totally just… decided to run a cafe just because it helped make the town better.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Improving things, making myself useful… that’s the kinda stuff I should be doing!}}
''(Choice between "You don’t need to think about helping people all the time." and "You help enough!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Heh. If you say so.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe it's just a compulsion that comes from my world.}}
''(Choice between "What do you mean?" and "...Your world?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Ok, on ‘my earth’, around halfway through the 21st century, there was a kind of… an upheaval.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Humanity’s greed and consumption reached a point where the world couldn’t handle it anymore.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It was like everyone woke up one day and realised that we could survive better by just helping each other instead.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That we didn’t NEED the institutions that ruled over us while killing the planet.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Being able to help the people in your community slowly became more important than being rich and famous, but I was never… very good at it.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Me being here in New Wirral, it’s a chance for me to transform into my best self, so I can return home as someone who can do something with my life.}}
''(Choice between "You don't need to be a hero to have value!" and "You don't need to beat yourself up over this!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I know, but...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I think I need that for myself.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Anyway, enough from me.}}

=== Relationship Level 4 ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Ok, I’ve decided.}}
''(Choice between "...Decided?" and "Decided on what?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I have a project in mind.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’m gonna stop talking about doing something, and just do it.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’ll make Harbourtown better - just you wait and see.}}
''(Choice between "You already stopped the Landkeepers!" and "You've already done your bit to help Harbourtown!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I don’t know… stopping something bad doesn’t feel the same as doing something good, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Alright, I’m pumped! It’s gonna be awesome, just you wait.}}
''(Choice between "What are you planning?" and "Can you tell me what 'it' is?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Nah, you’re just gonna have to wait and see!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The “defender of Harbourtown” should be able to keep a secret, after all.}}

=== Relationship Level 5 ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Hey, can I show you something?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I finished my project. I think it's time for the grand opening.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Do you wanna head over now?}}
''(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")''
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "Sure!"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Alright! I'll lead the way.|indent=2}}
''The player and Eugene stand in front of the first [[Landkeeper office]] that they cleared out. The fence around the building is no longer present.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Remember this place, <player>?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is where we went on our first team-up mission together!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I realised that this ugly old building has been sitting here vacant since we cleared out the Landkeepers, so I thought I could put it to good use!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|C’mon, let me show you inside!|indent=2}}
''The player and Eugene enter the building to see that the interior of the Landkeeper office has been remodeled. Two raised garden boxes with flowers, benches, a rug, some plants and a picture frame now decorate the room.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|With the ceiling window, this abandoned office actually gets a lot of natural light during the day.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I figured it could make a nice community garden. Folks could come on over and grow plants and flowers here, and get out of town for a little bit.|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "When did you do all this?!" and "Where did you find the time for all this?!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Hey, we don’t hang out ALL the time! I have my own free time away from our adventuring!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So… what do you think?|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "This is incredible!" and "I love it!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Y-you actually think so?|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I was convinced that this was a really dumb idea.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm glad you like it.|indent=2}}
''(Choice between "You're a pretty cool friend!" and "This is pretty romantic of you.")''
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "You're a pretty cool friend!"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Heh, c'mon. Between the two of us, you're the one with the grand aspirations.|indent=3}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You're the one trying to find a way off this island! The limits of time and space don't even hold you back!|indent=3}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm looking forward to going back to my real home. I think I've become my best, badass self here.|indent=3}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Let's go, buddy.|indent=3}}
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "This is pretty romantic of you."}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Well I guess it was time New Wirral had a new date spot.|indent=3}}
''(Choice between "I'd say your project was a success!" and "So... that makes this a date?")''
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "I'd say your project was a success!"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Heh, c'mon. Between the two of us, you're the one with the grand aspirations.|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You're the one trying to find a way off this island! The limits of time and space don't even hold you back!|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm looking forward to going back to my real home. I think I've become my best, badass self here.|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Let's go, buddy.|indent=4}}
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "So... that makes this a date?"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Uh, I, I guess so...|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|If you want it to be, of course.|indent=4}}
''(Choice between "Not so confident with romance, huh?" and "I've never seen you so nervous!")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I guess you're right.|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s pretty embarrassing that I can take down an evil cabal of office ghouls no problem…|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But struggle to tell my partner-in-crime how I really feel about him/her/them.|indent=4}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah, I guess this is a date.|indent=4}}
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "Not now."}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|No worries, buddy. Another time.|indent=2}}

=== Romance ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You’re pretty quiet. Is everything all good, buddy?}}
''(Choice between "I want us to be together." and "Nothing in particular!")''
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "I want us to be together."}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I… Uh...|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I know. I mean, I do too. I’m just nervous.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I think both of us help each other become our best selves.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Together we’re greater than the sum of our parts. It’s like when we fuse!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That said… we might have to break up if we find our way off the island.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You mean a lot to me, but I have my old life that’s waiting for me to return back to. And you do too.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But while we’re together, let’s have fun!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|There are people to help, and giant monsters to punch really hard in the face.|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The same as always – Harbourtown’s unstoppable power couple!|indent=2}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Though maybe we can pause the adventuring, at least for tonight...|indent=2}}
{{DialogueCondition|If chosen "Nothing in particular!"}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Gotcha.|indent=2}}

== [[Campsite]] and [[Gramophone Café]] Conversations ==
=== Before completion of Acting On Your Best Behaviour ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I need to get back to my workout routine soon. I can’t save the world if I’m not at the top of my game, y’know!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe one day some dumbbells will wash up on the beach…}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|How are you finding your <first_tape_name> form?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It kinda suits you, y’know!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Transforming into <first_tape_description> to defend the people of New Wirral!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I like it.}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is in, like, the top ten campfires I've ever helped make.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|A really momentous fire. Good work, <player>.}}


''(This requires his passive dialogue in [[New London]] to have triggered.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, that ruined town we passed through really creeped me out.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It reminded me of some places I’d see back home. Towns where people used to live, until times got tough and they were left abandoned.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I used to see a lot of those, actually.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe in time, the people of Harbourtown could go back and build it all back up again.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’d like to see that happen.}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Gathering around a campfire in the wilderness, knowing all the while that ''giant beasts'' might attack us at any moment... I think you're thinking the same thing I am right now, <player>.}}
''(Choice between "What am I thinking, exactly?" and "What is it?)"''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You're thinking: ‘this is just what life was like for my caveman ancestors!’}}
''(Choice between "What?" and "I've never thought that, ever.")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm totally right. You were thinking it too, buddy.}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I need to work on my battle shouts.}}
''(Choice between "Your what?" and "Battle shouts..?)"''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah! Like when I'm facing down some foes, and just before I transform I yell something like, "let's do this!" or "transform!"}}
''(Choice between "You can do better than those!" and ""Transform" isn't very original...")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It's an ongoing project, OK?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What if I shouted "I'm going monster mode!" – would that work? Do you think that sounds badass?}}
''(Choice between "Not at all." and "Absolutely not.")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'll come back to this another time, then.}}

=== After completion of Acting On Your Best Behaviour ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Y'know, taking on the Landkeepers like we did...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|In other worlds that would probably be illegal, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But it was the right thing to do, 'cause their "business plans" involved messing with people's lives.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I guess there's a big difference between the "law" and "true justice", huh?}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|At first I was kind of weirded out by how, uh, retro the clothes of New Wirral are.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Y’know, with them all coming from that old-fashioned mall?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But I’m starting to get attached to the look. I hope I can bring this pink jacket back to my world... }}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|People in the past really had to carry round these plastic cassettes just to listen to music, huh.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|They’re pretty ancient, so I imagine a single cassette tape could probably only store a few thousand songs on it.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Hey, why are you giving me that look?! Am I wrong, or something?!}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm hope your plan to find a way off this island works, buddy.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm starting to worry that New Wirral's limited supply of hair dye is going to run out.}}

=== Relationship level 3 ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I hope we can bring this cassette technology back with us if we leave this island.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Being able to transform into monsters could empower people in wider society in ways we haven't even dreamed of!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Imagine being able to transform into a fast monster to deliver groceries... or becoming a water monster to put out wildfires.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm pumped just talking about it!}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Do you ever think about… not going back to your world, <player>?}}
''(Choice between "Why would I?" and "What do you mean?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s like this: we’re not from the same point in our world’s history, are we?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|We’re not from the same world, but from worlds that are probably quite similar.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So your world’s future could well be like my world’s history. Which means life might not be such smooth sailing for you, long term.}}
''(Choice between "What are you saying?" and "What happened in your world’s past?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I told you about how the people of my world built a new and better world, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Well, that new world was built from the ashes of the old one.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I was born after the smoke had cleared, but those that lived through it… I think it is a burden on all of them.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Not only the memories of what they lost, but also the memories of the kind of people that they had to become.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I know I can't stop you going back home, but I worry about the world you may one day live to see.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You deserve a better life than that, <player>.}}

=== After defeating [[Aleph Null]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Do you really think that giant gateway can really take us home?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|When we're all done here on New Wirral, I mean.}}
''(Choice between "I believe so!" and "It has to.")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Momentous.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I hope it's true. I have a lot of cool plans for life, y'know!}}


''(This requires having told [[Ianthe]] the way home.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, if that big gateway does actually let people leave New Wirral, that’s gonna change a lot here.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Think about it – this whole miniature society is built on the foundation of a shared experience. That being the experience of marooned here on this weird island.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Heck, a lot of folks here were born and raised by people from different worlds. They haven’t KNOWN anything else!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I hope Ianthe is ready for how this discovery might change everything.}}


''(Eugene must have fought Aleph Null.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Um, I think we should talk about what happened.}}
''(Choice between "Talk about what?" and "What do you mean?")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|When we, y'know..}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|When we all fused into a giant god monster together and kicked Aleph's ass!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That was awesome, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I'm gonna be pretty honest with you, there's a whole lot of "Archangel" business on the island that I'm not keeping up with at all.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Like there's all this ancient history with Morgante and Aleph, or something? Maybe the railway station is involved? I don't know, man.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But what I do know is that we banded together and took down a big bad guy. That's something I can wrap my brain around.}}

=== After romance ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I… think you look really nice, lit by the fire like that.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|If I had a camera, I’d take a picture of you. Too bad I don’t, right?}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Do you think much about what life will be like when you go back home?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I hope… all this is real.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That must have crossed your mind too, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I hope it’s not like a dream, where you forget it moments after you’re back in the real world.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I don’t want to forget you, <player>.}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’m... glad I’ve been able to meet you, <player>.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, no-one is gonna believe I had a cute girlfriend/boyfriend/partner on this magical island, are they?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’m normally kinda hopeless with relationships. Fighting Archangels is easier than trying to work out what someone else is feeling.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe I should work on that…}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Sorry, I’m still getting used to the fact that we’re technically a couple now.}}
''(Choice between "”Technically”?" and "You don’t sound super thrilled.")''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Oh, I didn’t mean that in a bad way!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I just wasn’t expecting something like this to happen to me here on New Wirral. Of course I’m pumped that we’re together!}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It would be so easy to stay here together, wouldn’t it?}}
''Choice between "What do you mean?" and "Huh?"''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You and I, living life in the quiet but idyllic Harbourtown. Nothing changing.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But… I just don’t think that’s us, is it? I think we’re both meant for more.}}

== Passive Dialogue ==
''Upon being in an area where the monsters are higher level than you, one of the following may appear:''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This area looks pretty dangerous. Maybe we should retreat for now...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The monsters here look tougher than us – maybe we should do a bit more training before coming here…}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I don’t know, man – the monsters here seem too tough for us right now...}}


''Upon finding a destructible rock when you have [[Bulletino Dash]] unlocked.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That rock has cracks running all the way through it. You could break that thing wide open with a dash!}}


''Upon finding a magnetic pylon with [[Electromagnetism]] unlocked.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That blue box hanging on the wooden post looks pretty magnetic, don't you think?}}


''After approaching the gravestones in [[Aldgrave Tomb Station]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Is that my name written there..?}}


''In [[Glowcester Road Station]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|These are some pretty big mushrooms, buddy.}}


''In [[Falldown Mall]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Where I’m from, there’s empty buildings like this across the whole country…}}


''After falling down in [[Cherry Cross Station]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That was pretty intense just now…}}


''In [[Waterloop Station]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|A canal, huh? I wonder where the water is flowing from?}}


''In Eugene's house.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah, this is my place. Eugene HQ. The pad. My base of operations.}}


''When near the battery-activated switch that reveals Cherry Cross Station.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Check out this switch! I bet we could activate if we found a magnet nearby…}}


''In eastern [[Lost Hearts Graveyard]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It gives me the creeps that the skeleton monsters hang out here of all places…}}


''Outside of [[Glaistainbury Abbey]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That church needs a renovation or six.}}


''In [[Cast Iron Shore]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Watch your step, <player> – there’s monsters that hide just below the surface of the water here…}}


''On [[Brokenhead]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|OK, I had no idea there was a floating island here on New Wirral. Was this hidden in the clouds?}}


''Near the sticker merchants in Harbourtown.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Maybe these guys have something we can use in our endless battle for justice!}}


''On the pier in Harbourtown.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This place is a cute little town, don’t you think?}}


''On the western part of [[Harbourtown Beach]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is a pretty good spot to do some push ups!}}


''On the bridge in [[New Wirral Park]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This bridge was a community effort. It’s pretty cool if you ask me!}}


''On the narrow path in the [[Southern Isles]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is a pretty narrow path, huh?}}


''In [[Cherry Meadow]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This is a beautiful meadow, isn’t it?}}


''In [[Eastham Woods]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Keep your eyes peeled, <player> – who knows what kind of monsters are hiding in this forest…}}


''In [[the Marshes]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I’m totally gonna ruin my trainers running through all this mud…}}


''In [[Mt. Wirral]].''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s pretty cold out here, I’m not gonna lie.}}


''In New London.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This place gives me the creeps…}}


''In the player's house.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Hey, is this your place? Not bad, buddy!}}


''In the player's home, if you have him romanced.''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Are you giving your boyfriend a home tour, then?}}
== Character Interactions ==
=== Eugene and [[Kayleigh]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|...I don’t understand you, Eugene. You love all this “save the community” stuff, but you don’t want to join the rangers with me?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s nothing personal. I’m just a loose cannon, is all. A lone wolf. I can’t abide by an organisation that might hold me back.}}
{{DialogueLine|Kayleigh|I don’t think that’s it. I think you’re scared that you might fail the entry test!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Th-that’s not it at all!}}

=== Eugene and [[Meredith]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|...I did have some engineering work to do back at the shop, but I might just swerve it for now.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah! You gotta take a break sometimes, buddy!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|…. Wait, what did you say just now?}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|Uhh, I said I had some engineering work to do?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What did you say after that…?}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|...I was gonna swerve it?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Is that a phrase? To “swerve” something?}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|Oh, I mean, yeah. Like if you’re going to skip out on doing something or going somewhere, that’s you “swerving” it.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|OK, gotcha. I shall embrace your unusual slang with an open mind.}}
{{DialogueLine|Meredith|I think I’m gonna swerve this whole conversation.}}

=== Eugene and [[Felix]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...So you quit your job, because your bosses kept screwing you around?}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|Pretty much. It’s more than that, though. If I went to work somewhere else, I’d just have another boss giving me orders.}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|The only way to break the cycle is to work for myself. No more bosses.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Yeah! That’s the spirit! No more bosses – live on your own terms, man!}}
{{DialogueLine|Felix|Though my career plans have hit a roadblock recently. I think it happened after I fell through time and space and ended up living on monster island.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It happens to the best of us!}}

=== Eugene and [[Viola]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...So you washed up on New Wirral after being shipwrecked in a storm, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|Yes, that is correct.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|And you’re looking for your twin brother, Sebastian…}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This just sounds really familiar and I don’t know why. Are you famous? Have we met before?}}
{{DialogueLine|Viola|I can assure you that I am no-one of notoriety or interest. As for whether we’ve met? I’m sure I would remember someone as spirited as thee, Eugene.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I guess so. Still, your story seems so familiar…}}

=== Eugene and [[Barkley]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...So you’re a dog.}}
{{DialogueLine|Barkley|Arf!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|…But you can use a cassette player to transform into monsters like the rest of us.}}
{{DialogueLine|Barkley|Arf arf!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Are you some kind of… magical talking dog? From another world?}}
{{DialogueLine|Barkley|Arf!}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Hmm. I guess not.}}

=== Eugene and [[Sunny]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|...It feels so long ago when we first met, Eugene…}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You mean when you first walked into this café? Yeah, I guess it’s been a little bit since then.}}
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|No, I mean when I was a Landkeeper and first came into Harbourtown. You confronted me and my colleague and told us to leave, remember…?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Wait, that was YOU? Sunny, I never realised…}}
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|It’s OK, Eugene. We weren’t friends when we first met, but we are now… That’s better, don’t you think…?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|A big improvement, I agree.}}

=== Eugene and [[Frankie]] ===
{{DialogueLine|Frankie|…I just think that maybe I’m not the person my parents thought I’d be growing up. They’re supportive of me, but maybe I’m not the kid they thought I’d be.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I get that. I had a pretty momentous childhood - but my parents spent a lot of theirs fighting in the trenches of a guerilla war for the fate of a burning world, y’know?}}
{{DialogueLine|Frankie|…What?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I mean like, they raised me as best they could… but growing up I played in the ruins of the death machines that their generation felled, right?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|There’s gonna be some distance between us when they’ve experienced something like that.}}
{{DialogueLine|Frankie|…Maybe my life is pretty easy, all things considered.}}

=== Date with Sunny ===
''(Before beginning [[People are People]], if the player chose to stay platonic with Eugene during his 5-heart scene, the following scene may play when entering [[Harbourtown#Places_of_Interest_.28East_Harbourtown.29|East Harbourtown]] at night.)''<br>
''(Next to the town sun dial, Sunny and Eugene stand side by side, looking towards the sea.)''
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|...I just don't think it's... I think we should just be friends.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Is this because of my whole "campaign to take down the Landkeepers" thing? I know we're an ''unlikely pair'' but I can't stop thinking about you.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It's weird.}}
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|No, it's not that. I'm not a Landkeeper now. I think...}}
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|I haven't been "Sunny" for long. I need more time to be me.}}
{{DialogueLine|Sunny|I have enjoyed our "date", though.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I understand. Don't worry about it, Sunny.}}
== [[Mer-Line station]] and Archangel encounters ==
{{IncompleteSection}}
=== Station and platform reactions ===
''(Upon entering a station for the first time with Eugene.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What?! Is this a train station?! No-one ever said something like THIS was on New Wirral!}}


''(Upon entering a station for the second time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Another train station, huh? This island sure holds some secrets…}}


''(Upon entering a station for the third time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, we might be some of the first people to step foot in here for a LONG time…}}


''(Upon entering a station platform for the first time with Eugene.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Do you feel that, <player>? It’s like radio static that I can’t hear, but I can feel...}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s messed up…}}


''(Upon entering a station platform for the second time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s that weird atmosphere again… Can you feel it?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It makes my teeth itch…}}


''(Upon entering a station platform for the third time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Oh, that painful atmosphere is back. That never means anything good.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Stay on your guard, buddy.}}


''(Upon using the mirror to enter [[Night's Bridge Station]].)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Did that mirror hide this place? Can mirrors do that?! Am I missing something here, or what?}}


''(Upon entering the lobby of Night's Bridge Station.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This place feels empty, like no-one has been here for hundreds of years…}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Is this where it is? The doorway to leave New Wirral?}}
=== Archangel reactions ===
''(Upon encountering an Archangel for the first time with Eugene.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What – how – does that thing look like… that?! It’s breaking my brain…}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|I guess this is an Archangel, huh?}}


''(Upon encountering an Archangel for the second time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s an Archangel again! Urgh, just looking at it makes me feel like it’s not supposed to be here…}}


''(Upon encountering an Archangel for the third time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|An Archangel! Get ready, <player>!}}


''(Upon encountering [[Alice]].)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Buddy, I have NO idea who you are.}}


''(After defeating Alice.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|These Archangels are pretty rude, huh?}}


''(Upon encountering [[Heckahedron]].)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This thing is kind of hard to look at...}}


''(After defeating Heckahedron.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That Archangel was strange. It felt like no matter what angle I saw it from, it looked the same.}}


''(Upon encountering [[Lamento Mori]].)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Nah, we came here to fight.}}


''(After defeating Lamento Mori.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That was the biggest skeleton monster I’ve ever seen! Pretty creepy, huh?}}


''(Upon encountering [[Poppetox]].)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Are people just toys to your kind, huh?!}}


''(After hitting the effigies during the battle.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Dammit, it keeps moving right when we’re about to hit it! C’mon there’s gotta be some way to tell which way it’s gonna move next…}}


''(After defeating Poppetox.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|There’s always some monster who thinks that people’s lives are their playthings. Archangel or man, they’re dangerous all the same.}}


''(Upon encountering [[Babelith]].)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|...I don’t get it. What are you trying to say?}}


''(After defeating Babelith.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Archangels may be powerful, but that doesn’t mean that they’re smart.}}
=== Aleph retrospectives ===
''(Upon seeing Aleph for the first time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So, just so we’re on the same page – you also saw the floating guy with the red coat suck up the Archangel with his triangle head, right? Just making sure.}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the second time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|OK, so that’s the second time the man in the red coat has appeared to make an Archangel disappear, am I correct?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the third time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The floating man in the red coat – that’s the third time he’s appeared and made an Archangel vanish, am I right?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the fourth time.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|The man in the red coat said he wanted to have a “proper talk” with you. That seemed a bit menacing, huh…}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the fifth time, after completing the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That was a pretty momentous fight, but right now I’m just thinking about Aleph. What’s his deal, huh?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the fifth time, if you have not completed the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That was a pretty awesome fight, but right now I’m thinking more about the floating man who turned up at the end. If he’s a threat to Harbourtown, I should keep an eye out for him…}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the sixth time, after completing the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Aleph doesn’t seem to want to fight himself, does he? He always seems to make an appearance AFTER the fighting has stopped.}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the sixth time, if you have not completed the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That man with the triangle head... do you think he’s an Archangel as well? He seems pretty powerful. I don’t trust him one bit.}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the seventh time, after completing the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What did Aleph mean when he said that there’s “legends” based on him?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the seventh time, if you have not completed the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|What did that triangle guy mean when he said that there’s “legends” based on him?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the eighth time, after completing the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Aleph turned up again after that fight. No surprises there. He seems to appear whenever you find an Archangel, doesn’t he?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the eighth time, if you have not completed the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That triangle man was there again. No surprises there. He seems to appear whenever you find an Archangel, doesn’t he?}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the ninth time, after completing the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Aleph loves to hear himself talk. How does he even talk, anyway? His head is, like, a giant triangle. What a creep.}}


''(Upon seeing Aleph for the ninth time, if you have not completed the intermission.)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|That Archangel talks like he’s an office manager. That weirds me out, buddy.}}

== [[Here Comes The Sun]] ==
''(Conversing with [[Helia]])''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|You're responsible for Rogue Fusions?}}

{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Come on! We can manage fine without your "wonderful beasts".}}

''(After being told about [[The Mer-Line]])''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Alright! Let's go punch some trains!}}

''(After meeting The Mer-Line)''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Well, maybe it’s for the best that we don't fight this one. You know what Helia said about Aleph...}}

== [[Pier of the Unknown]] ==
''(After meeting [[Gwen]])''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|This new mission of ours to save this pier…}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|It’s pretty weird, right? Like, I guess we’re helping someone out, but I also don’t know what to think about Gwen.}}
''Choice between "I think we can trust her!" and "I don't know if we can trust her."''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Whatever the case: stay on your guard, buddy. Who knows what we’ll find out here…}}

''(After defeating [[Gwenivar]])''
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|So “Gwen” was an Archangel the whole time?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|But it still sounds like helping her out was a good thing… I think…?}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Man, I don’t know what to make about any of that stuff. It’s above my paygrade.}}
{{DialogueLine|Eugene|Whatever it all means, it still sounds like a job well done. Nice work, <player>.}}
