Wandering - Before the Temple of the Ancients


On returning to Rocket Town...

Redhead
Oh, it's you? I heard you and the Captain really made a BANG!
I also heard that Rufus was so pissed off he went on a rampage and that no one's been able to get near him!

Mechanic
I heard Tiny Bronco broke...
That sucks. I was secretly eyeing that thing. Broke, huh? What a drag.

At the Shanghai Inn...

Barkeeper
Would you like something to drink?

Cloud
- Let me hear your story
- Not interested

  • Let me hear your story

    Barkeeper
    Y'know, I heard Rufus rushed back to headquarters in Midgar...


  • Not interested

    Barkeeper
    ......that's too bad. Please come again.

Back outside...

Old Man
Because those Shinra creeps locked us up in our houses, we couldn't even watch the rocket lift off.
I never thought that my only hobby would be destroyed by that arrogant young Rufus...!

Inside a house...

Old Man
Hmm, let's see... do I know any good jokes...?

At Cid's house...

Shera
I'll take care of everything at home. But please take care of the Captain.



At Cosmo Canyon... If Nanaki is not in the party...

Bugenhagen
Ho Ho Hoooo. You people.
Where is Nanaki? I hope he's not bothering you.

If Nanaki is in the party...

Bugenhagen
Ho Ho Hoooo. I'm glad you're back, Nanaki.
I hate to ask you but, please look after Nanaki from now on.



At Costa del Sol...

Man Near Sea Plane
Hey, who're you? You look like you've been around the world twice.
I don't know what your story is, but hang in there.

Woman Lounging
Today's a great day for a nap in the sun. It always puts me in a good mood!

Sailor
Thinking of being stowaways?
It's 100 gil to Junon. Give it to me, and I'll put in a good word with the captain.
What'll we do?

Cloud
- Pay up
- Don't do it

  • Pay up

    Sailor
    Okay. Come on. This way.
    It's not the most pleasant ride but make the best of it.


  • Don't do it

    Sailor
    Thank you. Come back any time you want to stowaway on our ship.

Sailor Running Around
Ever since Rufus complimented him, he ran around for a while, And we haven't heard a peep from him since...

Little Girl
It hurts when you kick me with your bare feet!

At the beach...

Woman
If this is your idea of flirting... forget it. I do fine as it is.

Man
Always the same story... Women never pay any attention to me...

Woman 2
The sea, the wind and the sun. Don't you just love the outdoors? It always puts me back on track.

Woman 3
Hey, good timing. Would you mind putting lotion on me?

Cloud
- With pleasure
- Sorry

  • With pleasure

    Cloud laughs and puts lotion on her.


    Woman 3
    Uhhhnn...
    Than--kyu!


  • Sorry

    Woman 3
    Hey, loosen up a bit.

Johnny
...sigh...... I'm not good enough for her. What I should do?



At Junon...

Soldier
Lately it seems like the economy's been better. Must be the 'Rufus' effect.
Cargo ships are always coming and going from Costa del Sol.
Now I'll overlook the fact that you're a stowaway, but you better at least help with the cargo.

Sailor
How 'bout a ship taxi? Only in Junon!
Free to Air Force personnel!

Cloud
- Sure, call 'em
- Nope

  • Sure, call 'em

    Sailor
    Roger!! Hey! Taxi!!


    A helicopter comes.


    Pilot
    Where to?


    Cloud
    - The next town
    - Outside Junon


  • Nope

    Sailor
    Just holler whenever you want a ride!
    If you get sick easily, maybe you'd better not go.

In the barracks...

Soldier
These barracks are for soldiers. This is no place for civilians.

At the Shinra Member's bar...

Soldier
I'm a good lookin' man once I take my uniform off.

Soldier 2
Mommy... My mommy...

Soldier 3
Booze, booze! Ain't nothing like booze during working hours.

In another barracks...

Soldier Studying
Ugh... My eyes are tired... No, this is the time for me to really buckle down!
Until I become SOLDIER First Class.

On the Junon Airport Path...

Soldier
All I wanted was to become a pilot! It used to leave me speechless watching the Highwind in the sunset!

Soldiers Practicing Victory Poses
Someday I'll get to use my special pose in a real battle!

In Lower Junon...

Fisherman
There's a dolphin in the bay. If you get close enough and blow the whistle, it might come to you.
If you want to get on the ship, why not have the dolphin take you?

In Priscilla's House...

Priscilla (sleeping)
No... that tickles...
No... Stop......
Mr. Dolphin......



In the Sleeping man's home...

Old Man
Who're you?
Hmph. I guess it was fate that I woke up and met you. Here!
Received "Bolt Ring"!!
You've already fought 366 times... ......zzzzz....... zzzzzzzz......
Come on. You already escaped 0 times. ......zzz...... zzzzzzzzz......
Large materia needs high level materia............ zzzzzz...... zzzzzzzz......
What're you groping around for!
............
......zzzzz......... zzz.......



At Bone Village...

Excavator
Welcome to Bone Village, a town for nature lovers.
What do you want?

Cloud
- Have you seen Sephiroth?
- What are you doing?

  • Have you seen Sephiroth?

    Excavator
    Oh, the man in a Black Cape. He was looking for the Temple of the Ancients.


    Cloud
    - The Temple of the Ancients?


    Excavator
    It's way down south. It's right on the other side between this town and the inland sea.
    It's the pyramid that rises within the forest.


    Cloud
    - How do you get in?


    Excavator
    You'll need a Keystone.


    Cloud
    - What's a Keystone?


    Excavator
    Just like it sounds. A rock that's a key. I heard that some rich guy has it.


  • What are you doing?

    Excavator
    We're excavating. It's like the land's telling a history of the planet.



Cloud enters the Weapon seller's house.

Man
Huh? Oh another customer. You sure picked an out of the way place but...
But if it's the "Keystone" you're looking for, you're too late. Don't have it.

Cloud
Keystone?

Man
What? You didn't come here for that?
The "Keystone" is the key that unlocks the gate to a very old temple somewhere.
You're not going to believe your ears,
But I heard it was the Temple of the Ancients!!

Cloud
The Temple of the Ancients...

Man
Kya, hah hah hah...
Don't take it seriously. It's just a legend!
Huh? What?

Cloud
- Where is this "Keystone"?
- Where is the Temple?
- Let's change the subject
- Never mind

  • Where is this "Keystone"?

    Man
    I sold it already. Yeah well, to tell the truth, I didn't really want to sell it but...
    That guy had a way about him that made you feel like it may not be a good idea NOT to sell it to him...


    Cloud
    Who did you sell it to?


    Man
    The manager of the Gold Saucer... think his name was "Dio". Said he was going to put it in his museum, then he took off out of here.


  • Where is the Temple?

    Man
    Come on... it's only a legend. But if it were true, that sure would be something, huh?
    Now that you mention it, I have heard of something called Ultimate Destruction Magic
    was supposed to be hidden somewhere in the Temple of the Ancients.


    Cloud
    Ultimate Destruction Magic...?


    Man
    Come on! I told you not to take it seriously!


  • Let's change the subject

    Man
    All the weapons you see here I made myself. But lately I haven't been able to get materials...


  • Never mind

    Nothing happens.

If Cloud tries to open something...

Man
Hey, don't just come bargin' in here!

If Cloud walks to the bed...

Man
What? You want to rest?

Cloud
- Yep
- Nope

Man
Oh all right. You can use that bed.
