• Why is this guy so late? Once he shows up, I swear, I'm gonna...!

  Game requirement

• [Maku] Eh, he might have some kinda reason for being late, but if he don't, I've been saving a whole six pack of kickass to open, just for him. Heh heh heh~

  Game requirement

• [Maku] Why is Digotz so late? This isn't like him at all. Maybe something's wrong? Hey, what is that? You want I should read this journal? Er, okay, but I'm none too comfortable going through somebody's diary. It's just kinda... creepy, you know?

• [Maku] Hey, this thing is Benkaistein's. I haven't seen that guy in a long while. Ah, so he gave it to you for me to read? Alright, I owe him a favor or two, so I oughta...

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Today, me, Digotz and Maku played this crazy flying game. Basically, we make these wings out of wood and paper, jump off these hills and try to fly. Dumb, I know.^000000

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Today it was my turn to jump and flap my arms with these fake, badly made wings. It's not really a fun game when I think about it. Boy, I hope we don't do that again.^000000

• [Maku] What is he talking about?! That game was real fun! Yeah, I usually wore the wings and Digotz always wanted to wear them too.

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Maku, Digotz and me went outside of town. Of course, we didn't tell anyone or else we'd get in trouble. It was a really exciting day. But then, we ran into a monster!^000000

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363I wanted to run away but Maku and Digotz wanted to beat it so that we could become heroes. Of course, we got hurt pretty bad and the monster got away. Boy, mom was not happy...^000000

• [Maku] That's right! Back then, the three of us weren't afraid of anything! Of course, Digotz got beat up the most. But I gotta say, he was also the most fearless of us.

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Digot's been sick for three days now. It's just a normal cold and Maku keeps saying it's Digotz's fault he got sick.^FFFFFF ^856363 But he's always asking me to go visit him and see if he's okay.^000000

• [Maku] Wh-what?! No, I wasn't worried at all! That must have been the time Digot caught Clymonia. You know, that, uh, horrible disease. No one should have that one!

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Mom and dad keep telling me not to hang out with Maku anymore. Their reason is really dumb, and I don't care if he is poor. He's one of the best guys that I'll ever know.^000000

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Digotz's family is really rich and they don't want him to see Maku anymore either. But Digotz doesn't care. I know he likes Maku a lot.^000000

• [Maku] ... ......

• [Benkaistein's Journal] ^856363Today, the three of us made an oath of brotherhood, just like we read in the comic book. We swore we'd always be friends no matter what. For always and for always.^000000

• [Maku] Well, that's true, I guess, but people change! Besides, we got that idea from a comic book! Well, if he apologizes first, I guess I better forgive him.

• [ Good... Because Digotz said that he'll be coming by in a few days.

• [Maku] What?! He's really coming here? What for? It's too late to patch things up! Still, I'd be a real prick if I didn't see him. Alright, fine! I'll teach that guy a lesson once he's here!

• [Maku] And, um, gimme that journal! I'm gonna read more of it so I can make fun of Digotz. Bwahahaha! But yeah, um, thanks. Not that I'm grateful or anything.

• [Maku] So, uh, I guess I'll see you later. Um, now I gotta get ready for something. ^333333(But not to see Digotz!)^000000 Arrrrgh! Whenever I hear about that Digotz, I get so peeved! Is that guy giving me the brushoff just because I'm not a rich guy like he is?!

• [Maku] I can't... I can't even beat him up all properly because of all those freakin' guards! Arrrrrrrgh! Man, where's Benkaistein when I need him? RrrrRrrrr.... RrrrrRRRrrRR.... GGGGGRRRRR...

• ^3355FFUh oh... It looks like Maku is starting to rage just a bit too much.^000000

• ... ...... .........

• [Maku] Gggrrrr...

• [Maku] GRAAAAAAAAH~! Who the hell does he think he is, telling me all sorts of crap!? Digotz, you're not getting away with this! Gonna wreck you!!

• ^3355FFMaku's seething quickly explodes into pure, violent rage. You manage to calm him down after a while, but barely keep yourself from getting killed in this outburst.^000000

• [Maku] ^333333*Pant pant* *Whew~*^000000 D-don't worry, I've got a grip on myself now. Thanks for not letting me get too crazy. Times like this, I really miss ^FF0000Benkaistein^000000.

• [Maku] Benkaistein would always make sure that I'd stay out of fights. I really miss that guy. Still, he ain't around...

• [Maku] Damn those guards! If they weren't there, I could just go over and kick Digotz's ass! I swear, if it weren't for them...! What the hell are you still doing around here? You must have better things to do than talk to a ruffian like me or that snobby and totally prickish Digotz.

• [ Speaking of which... I spoke to Digotz again. He told me to give you a message, but I'm not sure th--

• [Maku] That no-good bastard has a message for me?! Oh, I'm soooo honored~ Tell me what that fink has to say, line by line!

• [Maku] ''Hopeless bastard?!'' Well, at least he had the stomach to say that. Through somebody else anyway! What else'd he say?!

  Script requirement

• [Maku] ''Stubborn jerk?!'' Takes one to know one, bastard! Why I oughta-- Grrr! What'd he say next?!

  Script requirement

• [Maku] Three lunches?! I treated that guy to lunch, like, fifteen times! I tell you, the guy does not know the meaning of friendship! What else did that moron say?!

  Script requirement

• [Maku] Me, apologize?! He should be on his hands and knees begging for my frickin' forgiveness! That... That selfish no-good stupid... W-what else did he tell you?!

  Script requirement

• [Maku] ''Who cares what I think?!'' GRRRAAAH~!! Who cares what he thinks!! ^333333*Pant Pant*^000000 I'm gonna murderlize that dumb creep! He can't possibly make me angrier than I am now!

  Script requirement

• [Maku] That's it. It's decided. The next time I see Digotz, I'm gonna plaster his face all over the floor.

• [Maku] Wha...? I dunno if Digotz would say something like that. You sure you heard him carefully enough? It's been a while, but I know how Digotz talks, man. Man, I need to blow off some steam! Sure, me and Digotz were buds before and maybe we might seem like friends now, but not anymore, though we used to be closer than this. Argh!

• [Maku] Don't get me wrong, I don't miss the guy or anything like that and I don't feel sorry about what happened. But if he ever came to apologize to me, I'd probably accept, you know.

• [Maku] Well, after thinking about it, of course. I mean, I'm not the one holding a grudge. It's all that guy's fault! Sheeeesh! Hey, what are you doing back over here? I thought I recommended going over to check out Uptown Lighthalzen. This place is pretty run-down...

  I actually met Digotz and...

• [Maku] You what...?! You saw my old pal, Digotz?! Er, I mean, Mister Alexander Digotz, who usedta be my buddy, but obviously not anymore.

• [Maku] Sure, we were real close at one time, but that was too long ago. It's been a long time since we hung out and he probably hates my penniless guts and...

• [Maku] Crud, just listen to me, I sound like a wuss. I don't miss Digotz! In fact, I hate the guy, one hundred percent! The next time I see him, I'll beat him to a pulp! Hey, you're one of those adventurers, eh? Welcome to the ghetto. Nothing too adventurous here, but hey, you can explore all you want.

• [Maku] I don't know if you know, but actually, the people who live here ain't allowed to explore this whole city. It's kind of taboo to talk about, but what do I care, right?

• [Maku] Yeah, basically the rich people here are too afraid of the poor people comin' to see them, so the security in this city is pretty tight! Those upper class guys are trash...

• [Maku] I didn't used to think this way. I actually used to have a pretty rich friend till I found out he's not all I thought he was. That moron! Why's he like that?!

• [Maku] Eh, forget about it. Why am I even talking about my personal life to someone I just met anyway? Sure, we all do it, but still...

• [Maku] Well, when you get bored of the ghetto, you really oughta check out the rich section of town. I'm bitter, but I'll also admit it's way nicer than this place.
