I Ran So Far Away

After defeating a Cultist for the first time

  • Kayleigh: ...

(Choice between "That person seemed pretty weird." and "What was that person talking about...?")

  • Kayleigh: Let's... talk about it another time, OK?

Intro, Gramophone Café

  • Kayleigh: I need to tell you some stuff.
  • Kayleigh: A-and, you'll probably think worse of me when I'm finished. Sorry.
  • Kayleigh: You see, when I first came to New Wirral, I didn't live in Harbourtown.
  • Kayleigh: There's another settlement at the top of Autumn Hill, on the east coast.
  • Kayleigh: Mourningtown. It's a community of people living off the land, sharing possessions, all that cute stuff.
  • Kayleigh: You've seen the folks walking around in the hooded robes, right?

(Choice between "Yep!" and "They seem kinda suspicious.")

  • Kayleigh: That's them. And I guess... I was one of them once.
  • Kayleigh: The leader, Dorian, he's obsessed with Archangels.
  • Kayleigh: Mourningtown was founded with the intent of helping everyone, but it soon just became about what he wanted.
  • Kayleigh: It reached a point where I didn't feel at home anymore. It was too late for me to be able to fix anything... so I ran.
  • Kayleigh: That's how I ended up in Harbourtown a year ago. I want so desperately to do right by everyone, because I have let so many down in the past.
  • Kayleigh: But... if Dorian knows about the locations of other Archangels, I need to put my fears aside and find out what he knows.
  • Kayleigh: Th-they don't let outsiders into the commune...
  • Kayleigh: But they should still remember me - I think I'll be able to get us inside.
  • Kayleigh: Are we in this, together?

(Choice between "Of course!" and "Are you sure you want to do this?")

If chosen "Of course!":
  • Kayleigh: That's the spirit! I hope some good can come out of all this.
If chosen "Are you sure you want to do this?":
  • Kayleigh: I am. I know it'll be hard, but... I want some good to come out of everything I went through.
  • Kayleigh: OK, right, I'll mark the entrance to the commune on your map.
  • Kayleigh: Remember: they'll only let you in if I'm with you.

Quest Start, Mourningtown

(Kayleigh approaches a man by the town gate.)

  • Kayleigh: Greetings. I am here to speak to Dorian.
  • Robed Man: Miss Kayleigh.... Welcome back!
  • Robed Man: Come, come, you're just in time.

(Kayleigh leads the player into town.)

  • Kayleigh: "Just in time"? In time for what?
  • Kayleigh: Where is everyone? Is something happening?
  • Kayleigh: Let's scope out the place.

(Upon reaching the far side of town, Kayleigh and the player come across a large group of cultists gathered around a deep pit, with stairs leading up to a large curtain. A robed woman, who looks similar to Kayleigh, steps forward onto a raised platform.)

  • Jacqueline: May we have quiet in the audience!
  • Kayleigh: Who is she? Is she... my replacement? Creepy.
  • Jacqueline: Dorian will now speak!
  • Dorian: ...
  • Dorian: HOW'S IT GOIN', EVERYBODY!
  • Dorian: Man, what a great crowd you always are!
  • Dorian: Listen, guys, mournchildren or whatever, you've all been doing such a great job with the digging.
  • Dorian: I mean seriously, this is a primo quality hole!
  • Dorian: This pit is as deep as your devotion to the cause. It's like a metaphor!
  • Dorian: When I first heard the whispers in my head guiding me beneath the earth, I knew I couldn't do this alone.
  • Dorian: And sure, we've had our ups and downs...
  • Dorian: But we've done it! Pull the curtain!

(The curtain parts, revealing the entrance to a train station.)

  • Dorian: THE SERPENT GOD AWAITS US, BABY!
  • Dorian: Soon I will enter the chamber and bargain with him for a share of his divine power!
  • Dorian: And to accompany me, our prodigal daughter returns to us!
  • Dorian: Isn't that right... Kayleigh?
  • Kayleigh: Oh no.
  • Dorian: Kayleigh, honey, you look like a deer in the headlights! Of course I got word you were joining us for our big party!
  • Dorian: Didn't you tell your friend here that you helped run this place alongside me?
  • Kayleigh: <player>...
  • Kayleigh: I'm sorry...
  • Kayleigh: I'll explain later. We need to put a stop to this for now.
  • Dorian: You didn't believe in me, did you? Well it looks like I was right all along, baby!
  • Dorian: There's a real damn Archangel right under our feet!
  • Kayleigh: We've fought Archangels, Dorian!
  • Kayleigh: If you go in there, you'll get yourself killed!
  • Dorian: If you and your friend have so much experience, why not come and join in the fun?
  • Dorian: C'mon, watch me ascend to godhood with my new Archangel buddy!
  • Dorian: Jacqueline - the platform, if you please.
  • Jacqueline: As you wish, sir.

(The platform lowers, and Dorian makes for the train station.)

  • Dorian: See you inside, Kayleigh!
  • Kayleigh: I hate him so much.
  • Kayleigh: C'mon, let's go stop this idiot from whatever he thinks he's doing.

(Inside the train station:)

  • Dorian: Kayleigh! Kayleigh's friend! You made it!
  • Dorian: I have made the tactical decision to amend the plan!
  • Jacqueline: Sir...?
  • Dorian: Kayleigh and friend will go ahead first, and if they aren't instantly killed by the Archangel, then I'll go in and do my sweet-talking.
  • Kayleigh: You're a fool and you're going to get yourself killed.
  • Dorian: You first.

(Approaching the platform, a train passes, and Mourningstar appears.)

  • Mourningstar: HAVE YOU HEARD MY CALL?
    ARE YOU HERE TO PAY TRIBUTE?
    ARE YOU HERE TO BURN FOR ME?
  • Dorian: Here goes nothing...
  • Dorian: O GREAT ARCHANGEL!
  • Dorian: I HAVE HEEDED YOUR CALL AND TRAVELLED TO YOUR ABODE!
  • Dorian: FOR MY LOYALTY, I ASK ONLY FOR A SHARE OF YOUR DIVINE STRENGTH!

(Mourningstar uses Judgement, and Dorian is reduced to a pile of ash.)

  • Mourningstar: YOU DO NOT TAKE FROM ME. YOU ONLY GIVE.
  • Kayleigh: I told him this would happen!
  • Kayleigh: C'mon <player>, let's stop this thing before it kills anyone else!

(After defeating Mourningstar:)

  • Aleph: MOURNINGSTAR, IS THAT RIGHT?
  • Aleph: BOY DO I HAVE A JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU!

(After Aleph leaves, everyone is left staring at Dorian's remains.)

  • Kayleigh: ...
  • Jacqueline: Dorian...
  • Kayleigh: I'm sorry, but it's his own fault.
  • Kayleigh: We should all get out of here. The air here tastes like death.

Relationship Level 2

(Kayleigh takes the player to a bench outside of town. Jacqueline approaches.)

  • Jacqueline: The commune...
  • Jacqueline: Will open its gates. We will try and find common ground with the rest of New Wirral.
  • Jacqueline: We only wanted guidance... We never...
  • Kayleigh: I know.
  • Kayleigh: The people of this community aren't bad people.
  • Kayleigh: You just have to be wary of those you put your faith into.

(Dejected, Jacqueline returns to Mourningtown.)

  • Kayleigh: That was messed up...

(Choice between "Are you OK?" and "How are you feeling?")

  • Kayleigh: I'm... I'll be fine.
  • Kayleigh: I feel awful for helping Dorian for so long, but... I blame him more than I blame myself.
  • Kayleigh: I found the Mournchildren around the same time he did. I needed that sense of community and belonging.
  • Kayleigh: He and I became good friends, and I was something of an... assistant to him.
  • Kayleigh: I don't know if things just slowly changed, or if things were never good, but Dorian's hold over the people of Mourningtown became something sinister.
  • Kayleigh: It became about him, his wants, his dreams and delusions. It was no longer the community I desperately wished it was...
  • Kayleigh: People were hurt, and I helped smooth things over for him.
  • Kayleigh: No... I wasn't his "assistant"—I was his fixer.
  • Kayleigh: I felt for so long like I was doing good - helping to maintain a positive status quo, even if people would get hurt now and then.
  • Kayleigh: I'm not a good person, <player>.

(Choice between "I don't believe that!" and "Yes you are.")

  • Kayleigh: Heh... I'm glad you believe that.
  • Kayleigh: I hope they all do better with him gone now.
  • Kayleigh: Lost people look for guidance, and that's what Dorian offered them.
  • Kayleigh: Well, we're another Archangel down. And... I'm gonna help you find the rest!

Relationship Level Scenes

Relationship Level 3

  • Kayleigh: So, I've been having a bit of a think recently.
  • Kayleigh: I've spent some time processing my feelings over my time in Mourningtown.
  • Kayleigh: So much of my time was spent trying to keep people happy...
  • Kayleigh: In fact, I spent a LOT of time trying to please people. I think maybe I still do.
  • Kayleigh: That's all well and good, but maybe it's good for me to think of what I like to do, as well.
  • Kayleigh: Otherwise I'll just burn myself out.
  • Kayleigh: There'll be nothing of me left.

(Choice between "Well, what things do you like to do in your own time?" and "What hobbies would you like to take up?")

  • Kayleigh: I... Will have to think about that!
  • Kayleigh: I feel like when I was younger, I used to have so much more passion for things than I do as an adult.
  • Kayleigh: Is that normal? I have no idea.
  • Kayleigh: Did you know I used to play guitar?
  • Kayleigh: Same as my dad. My earliest memories are of me, sitting on his lap, listening to him play.
  • Player: How did he fit both you and a guitar on his lap at the same time?
  • Kayleigh: ...Very carefully.
  • Kayleigh: I bought my own guitar in my teens, but was never particularly good at it.
  • Kayleigh: I guess I gave it up, because I guess I felt like any hobby I had should probably amount to something eventually.
  • Kayleigh: And, well, if I wasn't destined to become a professional musician, what was the point in doing it at all?

(Choice between "That's a shame!" and "That's not the right attitude!")

  • Kayleigh: You know what, you're right.
  • Kayleigh: It IS a shame that I gave it up.
  • Kayleigh: I should do more "me" stuff!
  • Kayleigh: A-and, I don't even have to do productive stuff!
  • Kayleigh: Maybe, if I want to sit in bed all day and read awful romance novels, I should do that too!

(Choice between "That's the spirit!" and "You're right!")

  • Kayleigh: Heh. Thanks a million, <player>.
  • Kayleigh: It feels good to get this off my chest.
  • Kayleigh: After all, we've been fusing into a great big monster together, haven't we? That's something of a bonding experience, if anything!
  • Kayleigh: I'm pretty much finished with my cup of tea. What do you say, shall we get back to it, then?

Relationship Level 4

  • Kayleigh: Check it out, <player>!

(Kayleigh shows off an acoustic guitar.)

  • Kayleigh: Cleménce found this at the market earlier and acquired it for me!

(Choice between "Is it in good condition?" and "How is it?")

  • Kayleigh: It... Has a bit of a seawater aroma to it...
  • Kayleigh: But to be honest so does half of the junk in Harbourtown.
  • Player: How does it sound?
  • Kayleigh: Good question! Are you ready...?

(Kayleigh strums the guitar. The sound is horribly out of tune.)

  • Kayleigh: That sounds like...
  • Kayleigh: A real work in progress!
  • Kayleigh: Don't worry, everyone in New Wirral is used to things being a bit broken. Nothing a bit of elbow grease can't fix!
  • Kayleigh: And by elbow grease, I mean manual labour.
  • Kayleigh: You'll be hearing me play this beauty in no time!

(Choice between "I'm looking forward to it!" and "I hope you serenade me!")

If chosen "I'm looking forward to it!":
  • Kayleigh: Me too!
If chosen "I hope you serenade me!":
  • Kayleigh: Cross your fingers and maybe it'll come true.

Relationship Level 5

  • Kayleigh: Hey, uh, do you wanna come on over to my place? I have something I wanted to show you.

(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")

If chosen "Sure!":
  • Kayleigh: Brilliant!
(At Kayleigh's home, Kayleigh sits on her bed holding the guitar as the player looks up at her.)
  • Kayleigh: I-I wanted to play you something. My dad used to sing this to me, and it was the first song I ever learned to play.
  • Kayleigh: You've been wonderful to me, and I wanted to do a little something for you.
  • Kayleigh: Are you ready?
  • Player: Yeah!
(Kayleigh plays a gentle acoustic ballad.)
  • Kayleigh: So what did you think?
(Choice between "That was amazing!" and "I think I want to kiss you right now.")
If chosen "That was amazing!":
  • Kayleigh: Aw, don't go making me blush now!
(Choice between "I hope you keep playing." and "I think I want to kiss you right now.")
If chosen "I hope you keep playing.":
  • Kayleigh: So do I! Maybe we should write a song together, whilst out on our travels?
  • Kayleigh: Sounds like a wee bit of fun, doesn't it?
  • Player: I'm game!
  • Kayleigh: Then it's settled! Let's do it!
If chosen "I think I want to kiss you right now.":
  • Kayleigh: Aw, you sure it's not just the magical effect of seeing a guitarist at work?
  • Kayleigh: I got my first girl crush seeing a friend play drums in a band when we were in college. I think I just fall for musicians easily.
(Choice between "Joking aside, I do hope you continue to play!" and "No, I'm serious, I do like you.") Choosing "Joking aside..." plays the previous "I hope you keep playing." dialogue.
If chosen "No, I'm serious, I do like you.":
  • Kayleigh: I...
  • Kayleigh: If you want to kiss me...
  • Kayleigh: I think now would be a good time.
If chosen "Not now.":
  • Kayleigh: No problem - I guess I have more time to practice then!

Romance

  • Kayleigh: You’re quieter than usual, <player>! Is there something on your mind?

(Choice between "I want us to be together." and "Nothing in particular!")

If chosen "I want us to be together.":
  • Kayleigh: Aye, I thought you might.
  • Kayleigh: Truth be told, I don’t think I saw you in that way until we fused.
If the player goes by he/him pronouns:
  • Kayleigh: I mean, I’ve had a few relationships with a few boys, but, I never really… felt anything from them.
If the player goes by she/her or they/them pronouns:
  • Kayleigh: For a start, I’ve only ever had a few short relationships, and they were all with boys, too.
  • Kayleigh: It may sound a wee bit silly, but when we fuse…
  • Kayleigh: I feel like I feel your soul… And that maybe I know you in a way I don’t even know myself.
  • Kayleigh: I don’t know if I have a word to describe it.
  • Kayleigh: I… I think you’re beautiful. Of course I want to be with you.
  • Kayleigh: And even if we one day have to part, it’ll have been worth it, I think.
(Choice between "You’re right." and "I think so too.")
  • Kayleigh: Well, you have a girlfriend now! AND she’s a budding musician!
  • Kayleigh: Aren’t you lucky?
  • Kayleigh: We should celebrate!
If chosen "Nothing in particular!":
  • Kayleigh: If you say so!

Campsite and Gramophone Café Conversations

This section is incomplete. Feel free to add the missing information by editing it.

  • Kayleigh: Hey! I never asked you how you're finding that first monster form I gave you back on the beach when we first met.
  • Kayleigh: It takes some time getting used to how each monster form changes how your own body feels. It seems to me that you're doing a cracking job at learning the ropes, though!


  • Kayleigh: I have a question for you, <player>. It's a big one.
  • Kayleigh: Are you ready?
  • Kayleigh: Are you... a dog person or a cat person?

(Choice between "Dog person!" "Cat person!" and "Ferret person!")

If chosen "Dog person!":
  • Kayleigh: A grand choice! Me too.
  • Kayleigh: If I get to go back to my world, I think I'd want to adopt a dog.
  • Kayleigh: I do a lot of walking these days, so a dog would fit that nicely, don't you think?
If chosen "Cat person!":
  • Kayleigh: Interesting!
  • Kayleigh: Maybe that means you're someone who values independence and personal space...
  • Kayleigh: Though it could also just mean you think they're much cuter.
If chosen "Ferret person!":
  • Kayleigh: A ferret, aye? The choice of the fence-sitter!
  • Kayleigh: It's too small to be a dog, yet too pointy to be a cat...
  • Kayleigh: A real curveball of an answer, but I'll accept it!


  • Kayleigh: "The arrow of time only moves forward, Kayleigh."

(Choice between "The arrow of... what?" and "Huh?")

  • Kayleigh: Oh, it's just something my dad used to say.
  • Kayleigh: I guess it means that time marches on - we can't turn back the clock and change our mistakes, so we shouldn't dwell on the past.
  • Kayleigh: Even if we want to...
  • Kayleigh: ...
  • Kayleigh: I guess that means we should be thinking about the next step in our adventure! After all, the arrow of time only moves forward, <player>!


  • Kayleigh: I wonder what life is like for the citizens of Harbourtown who were born here.
  • Kayleigh: I mean, this whole world is all they've ever known.
  • Kayleigh: And yet... people like us keep describing whole worlds of people and places.
  • Kayleigh: They probably find it hard to comprehend what we're talking about!
  • Kayleigh: But then on the other hand, they're much more used to the everpresent monster population.
  • Kayleigh: I guess it is very much a town of two halves.


  • Kayleigh: I do wonder how the whole "cassette tape monster transforming" thing works.
  • Kayleigh: It doesn't make sense on the surface right? I mean, these are just normal cassette players.
  • Kayleigh: They're made of plastic.
  • Kayleigh: But maybe I have the wrong attitude. Maybe focusing too much on the limitations is the wrong way to look at it.
  • Kayleigh: Maybe by accepting that the impossible can still happen, we enable it to happen, y'know?

Campsite

  • Kayleigh: So tell me - how do you feel about sleeping in the great outdoors?

(Choice between "I love camping!" and "I'm more of an inside person...")

If chosen "I love camping!":
  • Kayleigh: Brilliant! You're in luck then - New Wirral doesn't exactly have any hotels, so you'll probably be doing a lot of your sleeping in a tent.
If chosen "I'm more of an inside person...":
  • Kayleigh: That's... unfortunate. You might have to get used to sleeping in a tent if you're going to be exploring the island - New Wirral doesn't exactly have a local hotel franchise, or anything.


  • Kayleigh: I used to go camping a lot when I was a kid. Ireland has a bunch of great places to camp out!
  • Kayleigh: My da would drive the two of us to the countryside and we'd stargaze together.
  • Kayleigh: Camping with you makes me nostalgic for that time.

Gramophone Café

  • Kayleigh: This might sound weird, but...
  • Kayleigh: I think I actually prefer the smell of coffee to the taste.
  • Kayleigh: Don't get me wrong, I think coffee is brilliant!
  • Kayleigh: But the smell always implies something so much greater...


  • Kayleigh: I do kinda miss the cafés where they'd write your name on a cup.
  • Kayleigh: Though in my experience, the chances of them spelling it correct were very low.
  • Kayleigh: I'd mostly end up with some variation of "Kay-lee".
  • Kayleigh: Once I got "Carol". That was way off the mark.
  • Kayleigh: That said, Cleménce makes a far better coffee than any chain store. I'm not sure I'll be able to easily go back to regular coffee if I ever get to go back home.

After completing This Is The World We Live In

  • Kayleigh: That Archangel we fought... Morgante, right?
  • Kayleigh: We didn't really defeat her alone, did we? Someone had already wounded her when we found her.
  • Kayleigh: Even in her weakened state, she seemed so dangerous. Whoever wounded her must have been absolutely savage.

(Choice between "I hadn't considered that." and "I guess that makes sense...")

  • Kayleigh: It makes me feel like us humans are pretty puny in comparison...

After completing Take Me On Part 1

  • Kayleigh: The thing with the rangers is that each one has a special role they play in maintaining the town.
  • Kayleigh: Lodestein keeps the electrical grid running. Wallace maintains the buildings and walls. Zedd does... something.
  • Kayleigh: But these also reflect how they battle! Each of them has a unique tactic they'll use.
  • Kayleigh: I'm sure you'll be able to beat them, <player>!


  • Kayleigh: Hey, I forgot to ask! How are you feeling about taking on the ranger training, <player>?

(Choice between "Excited!" and "Nervous!")

  • Kayleigh: Of course you are! You'll do fine!
  • Kayleigh: The rangers tailor their challenges to the strengths of each trainee - my training involved doing work around town for each ranger captain.
  • Kayleigh: Your combat challenge seems... a little more intense than mine.

After completing I Ran So Far Away

  • Kayleigh: This might sound weird, but...
  • Kayleigh: Sometimes I think people mistake feeling "excited" for feeling "happy".
  • Kayleigh: When I lived in Mourningtown, Dorian had all these grand plans for the community...
  • Kayleigh: And it felt exciting to be a part of that. To feel like lots of things were happening, and that I got to be a part of it all.
  • Kayleigh: I think at the time I thought that this was making me happy. But... I don't think that feeling was happiness.
  • Kayleigh: It was excitement. And it's easy to mix the two up, I think.
  • Kayleigh: I guess there's a difference between something being fun and something being fulfilling.

Passive Dialogue

Upon being in an area where the monsters are higher level than you, one of the following may appear:

  • Kayleigh: The monsters around here might be too tough for us... Maybe we should turn back.
  • Kayleigh: I have a feeling the monsters here might be stronger than we are right now...
  • Kayleigh: This place looks pretty dangerous - maybe we should come back when we're stronger!

Upon finding a destructible rock when you have Bulletino Dash unlocked

  • Kayleigh: This rock has deep cracks in it. I think you could shatter it with a dash!

Upon finding a magnetic pylon with Electromagnetism unlocked

  • Kayleigh: This pylon battery is glowing a weird colour. I think you could use your magnetism ability here, <player>!

After approaching the gravestones in Aldgrave Tomb Station

  • Kayleigh: I'm gonna try really hard to ignore that our names are on these gravestones, OK?

In New Wirral Park Caves

  • Kayleigh: I think the townsfolk used to mine stuff down here in the past...

In Glowcester Road Station

  • Kayleigh: I've never seen mushrooms like this before! They're pretty grand, right?

In Falldown Mall

  • Kayleigh: This is where the rangers get all the cassette tapes from! Pretty cool, isn't it?

When near the battery-activated switch that reveals Cherry Cross Station

  • Kayleigh: We could activate this switch if we found a magnet around here, <player>.

After falling down in Cherry Cross Station

  • Kayleigh: How far down did we fall just now...?

In Waterloop Station

  • Kayleigh: I wonder where that water is coming from...

In Eugene's house

  • Kayleigh: I'm sure Eugene wouldn't mind us popping in to his place without him!

In eastern Lost Hearts Graveyard

  • Kayleigh: I always find graveyards kinda spooky, and this one is no different...

Outside of Glaistainbury Abbey

  • Kayleigh: How did this church get here...?

In Cast Iron Shore

  • Kayleigh: The Cast Iron Shore... Harbourtown gets a lot of scrap metal from the sorry wrecks that wash up here.

On Brokenhead

  • Kayleigh: Is this island floating?! What IS this place?

Near the sticker merchants in Harbourtown

  • Kayleigh: Why don't we chat to the sticker merchants, <player>? They might have something we can use!

On the pier in Harbourtown

  • Kayleigh: I'm pretty lucky to get to live this close to the sea, huh?

On the western part of Harbourtown Beach

  • Kayleigh: The beach reminds me of washing up on New Wirral for the first time...

On the bridge in New Wirral Park

  • Kayleigh: Ranger Wallace and his team of ace builders built this bridge a little while ago!

On the narrow path in the Southern Isles

  • Kayleigh: This path is pretty narrow. Don't lose your balance, <player>!

In Cherry Meadow

  • Kayleigh: Oh, the cherry blossom trees here are wonderful!

In Eastham Woods

  • Kayleigh: A forest! I wonder what we'll find here?

In the Marshes

  • Kayleigh: This marsh certainly is... muddy.

In Mt. Wirral

  • Kayleigh: Brr... I hope I don't catch a cold out here!

In New London

  • Kayleigh: These are the ruins of New London...

In Mourningtown

  • Kayleigh: It feels weird being back here...

In the player's house

  • Kayleigh: I hope your home is to your liking, <player>...

Character Interactions in Gramophone Café

Kayleigh and Eugene

  • 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?
  • 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.
  • Kayleigh: I don’t think that’s it. I think you’re scared that you might fail the entry test!
  • Eugene: Th-that’s not it at all!

Kayleigh and Meredith

  • Meredith: ...I really don’t get it.
  • Meredith: What is the “inter net”? Half the people in Harbourtown are crying over how much they miss it!
  • Kayleigh: Y’know, the internet? Like on computers, or phones?
  • Meredith: On phones? Do you speak to people over it?
  • Kayleigh: …What was the current year in your world before you came here, Meredith?
  • Meredith: 1989, why do you ask?
  • Kayleigh: Oh! OK. I can see we’re maybe a little out of sync with each other.

Kayleigh and Felix

  • Kayleigh: Hey, I have a question for you, Felix! I know you draw cartoons, but do you also design tattoos?
  • Felix: I can’t say I have! Are you looking to get inked?
  • Kayleigh: Hmm. I think I like the idea of getting a tattoo in theory.
  • Kayleigh: But in reality, I think I’m just too indecisive. I couldn’t possibly make such a permanent decision.

Kayleigh and Viola

  • Kayleigh: Viola, I gotta ask…
  • Kayleigh: Where did you get that sleeveless jacket? I’ve never seen anything like it in New Wirral before!
  • Viola: When I washed up on the sands of this lonely isle, I found an old soldier’s jacket cast aside on the beach.
  • Viola: The sleeves were of an ill fit for me, so I simply removed them.
  • Viola: It must be said that I have grown quite fond of it.
  • Kayleigh: You’re so cool... I’m definitely crushing on you a little bit right now.
  • Viola: Are you confessing your unending love for me, dear Kayleigh?
  • Kayleigh: Hey, I’m not THAT easily won over!

Kayleigh and Barkley

  • Kayleigh: Who’s a good boy? You are! Yes, you!
  • Barkley: Arf arf!

Kayleigh and Sunny

  • Sunny: ...So you mean to say that, where you’re from, some people CHOOSE to live like Landkeepers…?
  • Kayleigh: Well I wouldn’t phrase it like that, exactly - it’s more that you need money to live, so an office job is a way to get money.
  • Sunny: So people choose to live in an office to survive…?
  • Kayleigh: Oh, they don’t live there - it’s just for the day! Think of it as a role you play in the daytime, before you come home and become yourself again.
  • Sunny: I see… did you have an “office job” before coming to New Wirral, Kayleigh…?
  • Kayleigh: Uh, I’m not qualified for that kind of work.

Kayleigh and Frankie

  • Frankie: ...I have to ask, Kayleigh. Is your hair naturally that colour?
  • Kayleigh: Yeah! It’s not super uncommon to have ginger hair, at least in my neck of the woods.
  • Kayleigh: I’m guessing you weren’t born with pink hair, though.
  • Frankie: Well, no, but it's STAYED this colour ever since I washed up here.
  • Kayleigh: If you’re happy with that then it’s not so bad, right?
  • Frankie: It certainly saves me money on hair dye!
  • Frankie: …Not that money exists here. Or hair dye.

Mer-Line station and Archangel encounters

Station and platform reactions

Entering a station for the first time

  • Kayleigh: Is this... a train station? It should be OK to take a look around, right?
  • Kayleigh: This place smells like... Burning metal. I can't explain it...

Entering a station for the second time

  • Kayleigh: Another one of these old train stations... I haven't forgotten about the first time we uncovered one of these.

Entering a station for the third time

  • Kayleigh: I'm getting pretty used to these dusty old train stations. The silence is still pretty creepy, though.

Entering a station platform for the second time

  • Kayleigh: The pressure here is overwhelming... it felt like this when Morgante first appeared...
  • Kayleigh: It's like there's a really loud noise in the air, but I can't hear it...

Entering a station platform for the third time

  • Kayleigh: That feeling again. Like radio static in my brain...
  • Kayleigh: The air tastes like metal... It hurts my head just being here...

Entering a station platform for the fourth time

  • Kayleigh: It's that atmosphere again...
  • Kayleigh: I'm getting used to it now, but it still makes my head hurt...

Archangel reactions

Encountering an Archangel for the second time

  • Kayleigh: It’s an Archangel…
  • Kayleigh: It gives me that horrible feeling I had when we fought Morgante... Like I'm looking at it all wrong...

Encountering an Archangel for the third time

  • Kayleigh: Another Archangel... It's as painful to look at as the others...

Encountering an Archangel for the fourth time

  • Kayleigh: An Archangel! Be on your guard, <player>!

Encountering Poppetox

  • Kayleigh: This Archangel's eyes are creeping me out...

Defeating Poppetox

  • Kayleigh: The way that Archangel spoke about us, it was like we weren't even real... like we were just toys. Maybe it'll think differently now that we beat it.

Encountering Heckahedron

  • Kayleigh: This Archangel seems a bit eccentric, but maybe it's a friendly one!

Defeating Heckahedron

  • Kayleigh: It turned out that wasn't a friendly Archangel after all. Just our luck!

Encountering Alice

  • Kayleigh: You've got a pretty big ego, huh?

Defeating Alice

  • Kayleigh: I guess she saw herself as the queen of her own little world, huh?

Encountering Lamento Mori

  • Kayleigh: Are you asking... if we came here to die? I don't think we did, to be honest with you.

Defeating Lamento Mori

  • Kayleigh: That was pretty creepy, huh? I wonder if what it said was true... Maybe people do spend their whole lives thinking about death.

Encountering Babelith

  • Kayleigh: This thing certainly needs a reality check.

Defeating Babelith

  • Kayleigh: I think we gave that Archangel a "reality check", wouldn't you say?

Aleph retrospectives

This section is incomplete. Feel free to add the missing information by editing it.

After seeing Aleph for the first time

  • Kayleigh: So, now there's a mysterious man with a triangle for a head intervening in the hunt for Archangels? I don't know what to make of that...

After seeing Aleph for the second time

  • Kayleigh: Another Archangel battle that ended with an appearance from the triangle man. I'm picking up on a pattern here...

After seeing Aleph for the third time

  • Kayleigh: That triangle man appeared again. What do you think he wants with the Archangels?

After seeing Aleph for the fourth time

  • Kayleigh: The triangle man said he wanted to have a "proper talk" with you. What did he mean...?

Here Comes The Sun

(Conversing with Helia)

  • Kayleigh: Then you’re creating the Rogue Fusions?
  • Kayleigh: Your “wonderful beasts” put Harbourtown in danger!

(After being told about The Mer-Line)

  • Kayleigh: The Mer-Line? I don’t like this, <player>...

(After meeting The Mer-Line)

  • Kayleigh: Hmm. Maybe Ianthe will know what to do.

Magikrab's Gauntlet

(When encountering Kayleigh)

  • Kayleigh: It's another me... at least my hair looks good from this angle!

(When encountering Dorian)

  • Kayleigh: Urgh. It's like seeing a ghost...

(When Kayleigh is on her own)

  • Kayleigh: I'm not the kind of girl who'll go down without a fight!

(When Kayleigh is the first fighter in a pair)

  • Kayleigh: These two look tough - I'll provide backup, so don't hold back, OK?

(When Kayleigh is the second fighter in a pair)

  • Kayleigh: Alright, I'll follow your lead!
