Can someone post Jhudora's side of the dialogue please? Today's Illusen blurb implies that something interesting must have happened on Jhudora's end, and I'm dying to know what! I haven't found the full dialogue write-ups on JN or anywhere else (though I only did a quick glance through JN, SN, & TDN).
I'll post Illusen's side thus far:
ETA: I added in the shared dialogue too just for archiving's sake.

Fyora
Although it may seem unusual, I asked you both to meet me here because I know you two were once quite close -
Illusen
Who said anything about... Well, I wouldn't exactly say close!
Jhudora
Brief acquaintances at best.
Illusen
I suppose we were...
Jhudora
Practically strangers.
Illusen
Ahem, yes, something like that.
Jhudora
Backstabbing strangers...
Illusen
Do not start this! You were the one who -
Fyora
Enough! Look, I called you two here because I had an... intriguing idea for a different type of Faerie Festival this year.
One to help us dissipate some of the smog and muck that has begun choking the skies and seas of our beautiful Neopia since its technological boom.
Illusen
That sounds lovely!
Jhudora
Suck up...
Illusen
Hush, she is right! All of these new contraptions are giving off fumes that are starting to taint the pristine water, soil, and air of Neopia. I can feel it. Although, I did come up with some alternative energy ideas with Mira and Dr Landelbrot!
Jhudora
I still think it would be easier to just blast all those factories pumping out these new pollution machines to bits.
Fyora
We talked about this Jhudora. We should foster progress, not deter it. We do, however, have a responsibility to ensure it is carried out thoughtfully and carefully. Just like this festival! Which is why the two of you will be running it this year, as a team.
Illusen
I don't think thoughtful and careful are her forte... How about I just handle it myself this year and maybe next year Jhudora coul -
Fyora
Nonsense! I know for a fact that, with each of your respective talents, the two of you can put on a fantastic festival for all of Neopia!
Jhudora
For once I agree with salad mix over here. Look, I appreciate the suggestion -
Fyora
Oh, I'm not giving out suggestions today. Only orders. From your Queen.
Illusen
*GULP*
Jhudora
*GULP*
Fyora
Which is why I am so confident that you two will do just spectacular together. I mean just look at how excited all of the other faeries are, even Mira agreed to fly all the way back to Neopia to attend! Now that this matter is settled, good luck. *leaves*
Jhudora
She is one of the few people that scare me.
Illusen
And here I thought it was just me. *Cough cough*
Jhudora
You better not get me sick! Go see Marina if you're coming down with something.
Illusen
I'm fine, let's just get this over with.
Jhudora
Whatever you say.
Illusen
Well... if we have to do this, where do you think we should hold the festival this year? I was thinking the woods nestled between Faerieland and Brightvale. Maybe we could build a tree house and cover it with blossoming flowers to add splashes of colour!
Jhudora
*Retches* Sorry that imagery almost made me hurl. That all sounds so dull.
Listen, there's a gazebo with sublime gothic architecture near the edge of the Haunted Woods, let's host it there! We could even add in some thorny vines and maybe a few of your flowers, but only dark black, red, and purple hues will do.
Illusen
And you called my idea dull! A Faerie Festival should feel welcoming and inviting, not drab and dark. No one will want to set foot in your gothic gazebo.
Jhudora
You always do this! Oh, they will come to the gazebo at my Faerie Festival, but you won't be invited.
Illusen
Fyora told us to work together, as a team remember? You can't just throw your own festival!
Jhudora
Too bad. Already decided. I'm single-handedly throwing the Faerie Festival this year.
Illusen
Then so am I! I'll host the Official Faerie Festival in the woods just outside of Faerieland.
Jhudora
Well, when people get bored at your lame Festival, they can find the fun one on the edge of the Haunted Woods!

Recycle Scene:
Illusen:
Since Fyora wanted us to use this Faerie Festival as an opportunity to clean up Neopia, I had the idea to start up a recycling program! Taking a page from Granny Hopbobbin's book, I've decided to offer special prizes to festival goers who pick up garbage all over to help us rejuvenate the lovely land of Neopia.

Scene 2:
Illusen:
Hello, hope you have been enjoying this year's festival! I have to run a quick errand to Moltara and would love it if you would accompany me. I want to discuss my ideas for alternative energy sources with the CEO of the Moltara Obsidian Company.
They refine obsidian down into a liquid that has become the fuel most of those new inventions that have been flooding Neopia run on, but the production and consumption of it give off fumes that can be very harmful to the environment! You can meet me at the new MOC building in Moltara, it's rather tall so you can't miss it.

Illusen
Jhudora? What are you doing here? I thought you agreed not to blow any of these places to the sky! Or was that just another lie?
Jhudora
Relax, I didn't come here to do any damage. Well... depends on what the slimeball inside has to say. I did some digging about the company, and I have a few questions for him.
What's your excuse? Did you change your mind about my approach and decide to show this CEO just how cruel you can be?
Illusen
I only came here to talk with the CEO. I'm concerned about how damaging his obsidian fuel is for the air of Neopia. Plus, I suspect that he may have heard some… misinformation about the renewable energy source I've been working on.
Monty
Monty McTaggart, Moltara's Magnanimous Obsidian Magnate, at your service! Sorry to keep you two waiting, it's been mighty hectic round these parts lately.
Illusen
Sir, we've come here to you today because we would love to sit down and talk over some-
Jhudora
Let's cut to the chase, have you been bribing officials to shut down renewable energy ideas?
Monty
Well now that is quite the accusation. Let me start by saying the McTaggart family has a storied history of philanthropic endeavours in Moltara-
Jhudora
Then where did you pick up that ridiculous accent?
Illusen
Jhudora! It's not okay to mock someone's voice. Look, Monty, I am sorry about her… forwardness. I came here on my own, because I wanted to talk to you face to face, faerie to Neopet, and see if we could talk things out.
It seems representatives of your company have been strongly opposed to renewable energy sources, but Dr Landelbrot has theorized that the energy given off by the sun could be harnessed without harming Neopia. The sun could provide for us just like it nourishes the plants, with clean-
Monty
I'll stop you there little lady. I know all well and good that burning obsidian is not what the kids these days are calling sustainable, but I've been in the obsidian business for years, and now that business is finally booming, ain't no way I'm gonna stop!
Besides, it's too early to tell if obsidian is doing any harm. This whole pollution racket is nothing to fuss about now, it's something for our grandchildren to worry about. Bahahah!
Illusen
This is all just some kind of joke to you!
Monty
Now that could not be further from the truth. I am serious about obsidian, it's my livelihood after all!
Jhudora
I have a question about your livelihood, Monty. You went bankrupt in Y15 and were forced to sell all the McTaggart assets, putting up your family estate to get by. Then, right after the tech boom in Neopia, you suddenly have the means to buy the Obsidian Quarry from the City of Moltara. Who gave you all those Neopoints?
Illusen
How did you know all that?
Jhudora
The National Neopian Bank Manager owed me a favour after I cleaned him out in Cheat! Now Monty, spill
Monty
Well, I'd be happy to tell ya! I had a run of good luck in the Neopian Stock Market. That Nigel fellow sure is an agreeable fellow. Oh, and playing Trudy's Surprise. Do you know how much you can get if you go consistently?
Illusen
This is getting us nowhere. He'll ramble on all day before he tells us anything about his benefactor. I think he's too scared of whoever it is to say a word.
Jhudora
Okay, then step outside for a minute.
Illusen
Why what are you- *Cough cough*
Jhudora
For once just listen to me and go outside before I catch whatever you have. If fear is what motivates him, then let me have a private chat with Monty. Just the two of us.
Monty
Hold on there, Illusen, let's not be hasty now! You seem like the levelheaded one here to me, so maybe just hang back with us-
Illusen
Buh-bye, and good luck Monty! *Steps outside*
Jhudora
*Whisper Whisper*
Monty
Muh-muh-Malkus Vile!
Illusen
*Pops head back in* What was that?
Jhudora
Monty just shared with us that Malkus Vile was his secret investor. I haven't the foggiest idea why, but Vile is behind all of this.
Illusen
You only whispered in his ear for a few seconds. What on Neopia did she say to you?
Monty
You don't want to know… Please, just leave me alone, I don't know anything else. Oh, Vile will never forgive me for this.
Jhudora
Don't you worry about him, once I'm through with-
Illusen
Once we are through with him. I want to see Vile brought to justice myself.
Jhudora
Who are you kidding Illusen? You can barely stand. I don't know what's wrong with you, but you're in no shape to chase down anyone.
Illusen
I told you I'm just fine!
Jhudora
What you are, is too proud to be real with me. Same old story. So, I'm going to find him by myself.
Illusen
