I tried to interpret it myself, but end up with "thoooooooo" occupying my mind. I beg you, all the linguists in the Neath, to tell a foreign traveller what it is actually. Thank you!

(1)
MAGICIAN: It's good to see you up and about with everyone else. Wasn't sure how adaptable your sort was. Your mantle crest seems quite -
OUTCAST: Nishe. Fffine. ("Neathy. Fine."?)
MAGICIAN: Quite, yes. But those ah, extrusions - your liminalities and, ah, that light? Surely -
OUTCASE: Thhhurvithed worttth. ("The hurt is worth"??)

(2)
CARNELIAN EXILE: You.
NACREOUS OUTCAST: Ffrhume? (??)
CARNELIAN EXILE: I want your secrets.
NACREOUS OUTCAST: Ffiefhh humth! (??)
CARNELIAN EXILE: As you will. I can wait.

CARNELIAN EXILE: You again.
NACREOUS OUTCAST: Fffrah erffuhth. ("From afar"??)
CARNELIAN EXILE: I've waited long enough. There's more to you now.
NACREOUS OUTCAST: Intheth nath Frosttfhounf!("In the north Frostfound")
CARNELIAN EXILE: No. No more. The stars are hungry. I'm running out of time.
NACREOUS OUTCAST: Eatht. The Eatht.("East. The East.")
CARNELIAN EXILE: That's all? That's all you have for me? ...d__n you. D__n every one of you. May Axile burn.

BANDAGED POISSONNIER: Just a little, now.
NACREOUS OUTCAST: Fotharoothathoth! (??)
POISSONNIER: Now, now. You'll grow it back.

That's a pity...I've always enjoyed banter among party members in RPGs. I thought the Mechanic/Cannonner conversation that I saw (which, for the record, I've seen happen only twice in 200+ hours) was the only one in the game. The frequency at which these officer conversations happen should really be much higher. Most players of Sunless Sea probably only ever see a single banter, if any.

  • Smart move by the Nacreous Outcast. The rubberies know what happened to the *last* poor bastard who fell for that line, and a reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely.

    There are conversation events?

    Seriously, the frequency of them needs to be increased. I'm sick of seeing "Hey look a new star was made" or "Ignore the ramblings and reduce terror a bit" events that pop up so constantly.
    Enough of those, I want to hear what my crew is saying to each other.

    I've put in my best guess for some of the lines, hopefully in a differently colored text. Forgive me if the formatting is off; it's my first time giving it a whirl.

    CARNELIAN EXILE: You.
    NACREOUS OUTCAST: Ffrhume? (??) ("Who, me?")

    4 and 5 are definitely not supposed to be words - those are exact noises that Rubbery Men say in FL without being in any sort of conversation.
