Farewell to Gaile/Dialogue

The Rabbit: "Hey, everyone! Everyone! I need your attention! come [sic] on. ATTENTION, everybody! It's almost time for the party!"

Players should use the /attention emote here.

The Rabbit: "Gather in the circle, but act aloof so Gaile and The Frog don't expect anything! I don't know. Act BORED, COUGH, YAWN, SIT! Just do something! Places people, places!"

Players should use any of the above capitalized emotes here.

The Rabbit: "All right, here comes The Frog! Don't do it yet, but when I give the signal, I need you all to act EXCITED, CHEER, or CLAP!"

The Frog: "What is this, Rabbit? What are you doing here with all these humans?"

The Rabbit: "Now, everyone!"

Players should use /excited, /cheer, or /clap here.

The Frog: "The Frog is most embarrassed, but also very grateful. Thank you all for this surprise."

The Frog: "So I take it you told them, Rabbit? Do all of you know of my plans already? YES? NO?"

Players should use the /yes or /no emote here.

The Rabbit: "Many of them do already. Perhaps it is best if they hear it in your own words, though."

The Frog: "The Frog will start from the beginning, then. Please SIT for my story friends, for it is a long one."

Players should use /sit here.

The Frog: "The Frog has heard that many humans, most notably those in Cantha, consider this to be the Year of the Rat."

The Frog: "For amphibian kind, this is actually Leap Year, a year in which we must decide whether to stay put or go hopping along to something new."

The Frog: "The Frog originally planned on staying put this year, but then he was given a most interesting proposal by none other than She Who Serves, the lady, Gaile Gray."

The Frog: "She said to me that she would like a traveling companion, for she wanted to leave behind this hectic city life, the crowds, the demanding schedule, and go tour the countryside."

The Frog: "Given any other year, The Frog may not have even considered this proposal, but as this was Leap Year, The Frog owed it to his amphibian blood to give it careful consideration."

The Frog: "The Frog thought about this proposal for many moons and, in the end, decided it was time to go."

The Frog: "The Frog will leave with Gaile this week, and retire to an idyllic life in the country."

The Rabbit: "I think I speak for everyone when I say that we will all be sad to see you two go. Don't you all AGREE?"

Players should use the /agree emote here.

The Rabbit: "Obviously, you two are well-loved, but we should not get caught up in the sadness of your departure today!"

The Rabbit: "Today, we must celebrate your time with us in style! How about a conga line to get everyone warmed up, Frog?"

The Frog: "The Frog worries that his old amphibian bones will not allow him to conga too far; he is used to Shadow Hopping to get around. But he will give it his best."

The Rabbit: "Everyone line up behind The Frog or behind someone already in line, and signal when you are READY!"

Players should use the /ready emote here.

The Rabbit: "They are ready when you are, Frog! Let's get this party started!"

The Frog: "The Frog would like to dedicate this conga line to Gaile! Follow me, humans!"

Here The Frog will start moving around the town. Select him beforehand and hit space to follow him. This is also when players receive the Party Time! bonus, so start using your fireworks.

The Rabbit: "Some of you humans really look out of shape!"

The Rabbit: "Make sure to catch your BREATH when you get back to the circle! We want to keep this party going strong!"

Players should use the /breath emote here.

The Rabbit: "Come on, everyone! Send Gaile and The Frog off with a bang! Use some festive items, eat, drink, and be merry!"

The Rabbit: "Now is no time for wallflowers, either! All you humans get in here and DANCE!"

Players should use the /dance emote here.

The Rabbit: "This party is really hopping, but I think something is missing."

The Rabbit: "Does anyone here play an instrument? Some DRUMS, GUITAR, or anything else would be great. We must keep people dancing!"

Players should use the /drums, /guitar, /flute, or /violin emote here. Continue to play your instrument, or /dance, until the next emote to receive 7 additional sets of fireworks.

The Frog: "The Frog is most impressed by the musical and terpsichoreal talents of the humans."

The Rabbit: "I hate to do this to you during your farewell party, Frog...but I think it's time you paid up your poker debt."

The Frog: "The Frog had hoped you had forgotten about that. Particularly since The Frog does not believe said "debt" is indeed legitimate!"

The Rabbit: "Yes, Frog, I've heard you mention that you have doubts about my card playing prowess."

The Frog: "The Frog calls shenanigans on The Rabbit! For who amongst us, human or animal, draws to an inside straight? And thrice in a row?"

The Rabbit: "Well, what do you expect when you play against someone with four lucky feet?"

The Frog: "*mutter* Such luck has not Dwayna, not Balthazar, nor any of the other gods! The Frog suspects trickery...but alas, prove it he cannot."

The Rabbit: "You know you still owe me one last performance, Frog. Given that I might not see you again for a long while, I think it is best you settle that debt now."

The Frog: "*groan*"

The Frog: "The Frog hoped this humiliation would be isolated to the poker group, but The Rabbit has left us with little choice in the matter, for The Frog won't be around for the next poker night."

The Rabbit: "All right, all right! I can tell you are a bit jumpy, so I won't ask for a solo. How about we do our new duet? Consider it my going away present."

The Frog: "You mean the one you called the *blush* "Hip Hop" routine?"

The Rabbit: "Come on, Frog. Hopping IS something we definitely have in common, so who better to show "Hip Hop" to the humans than a rabbit and a frog?"

The Frog: "The Frog cannot deny this wisdom, but would still like to apologize in advance to all humans for what is about to take place."

The Rabbit: "Come on, Frog. Just do the part I wrote for you! Don't bring down the party!"

The Frog: "The Frog is reluctant, but here goes nothing..."

The Frog: "I said hip hop, a hoppa to the hoppy to the hop hop hopping!"

The Frog: "You can't stop hopping when The Frog's boogie beat is dropping!"

The Frog: "I said hip hop, a hoppa to the hop hop hop, and we won't stop!"

The Rabbit: "No we won't stop hopping until the break of dawn!"

The Rabbit: "I've been living life large since leaving Ascalon!"

The Rabbit: "A carrot a day keeps me going strong, thumping beats on the ground, and my ears growing long!"

The Frog: "The beats the Rabbit lays are truly something of magic!"

The Frog: "You best stay on his side, or watch things get tragic!"

The Rabbit: "Just put me in a match and watch me flawless!"

The Rabbit: "I'll battle through the Charr like they are clawless!"

The Rabbit: "From Tyria to Cantha, there is none greater!"

The Rabbit: "I provide service with a smile, did someone say, "Waiter?""

The Frog: "Whoa! Rabbit, stop right there! The Frog is sorry, but he cannot continue. The Rabbit has made the song all about him as usual...and at a friend's farewell party of all places!"

The Rabbit: "Oh, come on, it was just about to get good! I was working towards my best lyrics ever. Here, listen..."

The Rabbit: "I roll up to the Xunlai, my account at maximum! You could call me King Jalis by the way I drop platinum!"

The Frog: "RABBIT! ENOUGH!"

The Rabbit: "All right, Frog. You're right, this party is for you and Gaile. I shouldn't have gotten so carried away..."

The Frog: "The Frog would like you all to BOW in a moment of silence for The Rabbit's crushed ego."

Players should use the /bow emote here.

The Rabbit: "Hey, that's not funny!"

The Frog: "The Frog finds this most enjoyable, he does indeed."

The Frog: "The Frog would now like everyone to POINT at The Rabbit and LAUGH!"

Players should use the /point or /laugh emote here.

The Rabbit: "Hey, come on! That's not fair!"

The Frog: "The Frog wishes to express sympathy for the Rabbit. To that end, everyone shall play the world's tiniest VIOLIN!"

Players should use the /violin emote here.

The Rabbit: "Come on, Frog! Now you're just being mean!"

The Frog: "The Frog would like to apologize, in all seriousness this time. It seems The Rabbit is not the only one who can get carried away."

The Rabbit: "That's okay, Frog. I know it's all in good fun!"

The Frog: "The Frog appreciates The Rabbit's understanding, and hopes the humans understand that he must now bid the party, "Adieu.""

The Frog: "The hours grow short before Gaile and The Frog must depart, and The Frog has not yet finished packing."

The Frog: "Thank you for getting everyone together for this great party, Rabbit. And thank you all, humans and animals alike, for coming!"

The Rabbit: "It was our pleasure, Frog! Everyone was so EXCITED to be here for you two!"

Players should use the /excited emote here.

The Frog: "The Frog hopes that all will remember the tales of Gaile and The Frog after they depart!"

The Frog: "The Frog knows well the joy Gaile has experienced from speaking with all of you, for The Frog shares this joy too."

The Frog: "Though we played separate parts, we stood on the same stage, and we would both like you to know what a blessing it has been to serve you."

The Frog: "The curtain now closes on our time with you friends, but The Frog hopes you will remember us well, as we will remember you."

The Frog: "Fare-thee-well, friends, and may every time our paths cross be blessed with fond memories of days past!"

The Rabbit: "Everyone! Hurry! Give a big WAVE goodbye! Oh, I think I'm going to tear up."

Players should use the /wave emote here. The Party Time! effect disappears just after the next line, so be sure to use the fireworks from this emote quickly.

The Frog: "Farewell, dear friends."
