Canon
For Sasayazkko, I have transcribed the bit of Suikoden Tactics with a young Snowe and Lazlo, which comprises its prologue. With my own snide comments cause I'm terrible at just recording the facts!
(The back streets of Razril at night. Two young boys enter. I wonder who they could be!)
Noble Youth: *gulp* Uhh...
Noble Youth: I like this place better in the daytime.
Local Boy: You scared?
Noble Youth: No way! D-don't be silly!
Noble Youth: Well, let's get this Furball patrol started.
(He holds up a sword.)
Noble Youth: I wanna try out this new sword Father gave me!
Local Boy: Couldn't we do this tomorrow?
Noble Youth: No! I wanna try it out right away!
Local Boy: Okay.
Noble Youth: C'mon, let's go!
Noble Youth: Don't worry; we can take care of those Furballs and be back in no time!
Local Boy: All right.
Local Boy: But let's not stay out too late...
(Battle start. Victory condition is to defeat one of two Furballs, oh noes. I think mini-Lazlo's got a pair of sticks. Also, if you're wondering, he's wind elemental, and Snowe is water.)
(If mini-Lazlo is defeated:)
Local Boy: Forgive me...
(If mini-Snowe is defeated:)
Noble Youth: Sorry...
(When one Furball is defeated, we see mini-Snowe finishing off the other for some reason.)
Noble Youth: Whew...
Noble Youth: Furballs are tougher than I thought.
Local Boy: A lot tougher.
Noble Youth: But as long as I have this sword, we can cut our way through!
Local Boy: What?!
Noble Youth: Aha-ha-ha! Just kidding.
Noble Youth: You look more tired than I do. Let's call it a night.
(He turns to leave, but then mini-Lazlo gets an exclamation point over his head! Something moves quickly from a side alley.)
Local Boy: *shudder*
Noble Youth: Whoa! What the heck was that?!
Noble Youth: Wh-Wh-What should we do?? Follow it? Or maybe we should --
Man: This way!
(A group of vagrants and freaks, by which I mean this game's protagonists, approaches.)
Noble Youth: Aaaaghhhh!!
Man: Oh, sorry about that. Didn't mean to frighten you.
Noble Youth: Oh, you're human! You sure gave me a shock.
Man: "Human"?
Noble Youth: Ummm... never mind. My mistake!
Noble Youth: Oh, I'm sorry. My name's Snowe Vingerhut.
Man: Walter's the name. We're travelers. This is my son, Kyril. Our group means you no harm.
Kyril: Nice to meet you.
Andarc: Hello, I'm Andarc.
Seneca: And I'm Seneca.
Local Boy: Hello.
(An unintroduced goat-woman sidles behind Walter.)
Snowe: Uhh... Is, well...?
Walter: Oh, she's my partner. Don't worry about her.
Walter: I've got a question, Snowe...
Snowe: Yes?
Walter: Just before, you said, "You're human," right?
Snowe: Huh? Yeah, but...
Walter: Why was that surprising to you? Did you see something...?
Snowe: Oh, that. Umm, yeah, we saw it.
Walter: Will you tell me exactly what you saw?
Snowe: Right. Ummm, a weird creature, about the size of a man, came rushing up this road...
(Fade out briefly for some reason. The scene doesn't actually change, and there isn't really more exposition to give than that. I dunno.)
Walter: I see. And then it ran off that way, hmm?
(Snowe gestures.)
Snowe: Yep. Straight down that way.
Snowe: But it couldn't have gotten very far. There's a dead end up ahead.
Walter: I see. Thank you for the information.
Walter: Well, we're going after it. You two had better head on home. This is dangerous work.
Snowe: But we can help you! I know the streets here!
Local Boy: !
(The boys turn to face each other.)
Snowe: You're up for it, right?
Walter: Snowe. This isn't a game.
Local Boy: Maybe we should listen to him...
Snowe: Come on... Don't chicken out.
Snowe: We'll be fine!
(He turns back to Walter.)
Walter: All right, but stay close. We don't have much time. Ready?
Snowe: Yeah! Let's go!
Local Boy: If this thing doesn't kill us, your father will!
Snowe: Relax. He gave me the sword to use, right? Stick with me and you'll be fine.
Local Boy: ...
Snowe: If something comes after you, whack it with that stick of yours.
Snowe: Walter and I will take care of the rest, okay?
Local Boy: I'll try...
Snowe: Okay then, let's get going!
(Another battle against some more Furballs for some reason. Poor Lazlo still doesn't even have a name, for heaven's sake. After Lazlo's first attack, though:)
Walter: Well, well! That's an interesting dual-weapon technique you have there. Nicely done!
Snowe: ...
(And after Snowe's first attack:)
Snowe: Walter, how's my sword arm?
Walter: Oh... Not bad, I guess.
Snowe: Thanks!
(Oh, Snowe, you messed-up little bitch. Despite the seeds of bitterness, as with many pairs of friends in this game, the boys can occasionally take damage for each other if they're adjacent, and may gain berserk status when the other is badly wounded/defeated. Where did they go wrong? After the fight, the group is gathered around... something.)
Snowe: Wh-What is it? I've never seen anything like it!
Walter: ...a Rune Cannon?
(Nobody in this game can say "Rune Cannon" right. Also, the thing is some sort of fishman, though the game just calls it "Man".)
Man: ... Yes... I...
Snowe: Whoa! It can talk!
Walter: Will you keep quiet for a minute?
Snowe: S-Sorry.
Walter: Who did this to you? And where?
Man: On... the ship...
Man: Pirate... ...
Man: ...
Walter: A pirate? Which pirate?! Give me a name!
(Silence.)
Walter: I need a name!!
Walter: Damn.
Snowe: ...Is it dead?
Walter: Yes.
Walter: Look at it... so thin you can see the ribs. Probably couldn't even get a scrap of food, in this state.
Snowe: Ohh...
(The group gets up.)
Walter: Well, then...
Walter: The least we can do is give it a decent burial somewhere. Things like this are best done at night.
Walter: You boys really should go on home now. It's very late.
Snowe: Okay.
Snowe: Let's go...
(The boys turn and start to leave, but Lazlo pauses and addresses the group again.)
Local Boy: Good night.
Walter: Hm... Good night.
(Lazlo leaves. Then the other people talk about plot stuff a little more. WHO CARES ABOUT THAT ANYWAY RIGHT.)
And also a little more talky detail from what I can easily access in my save file near the end of the game.
(Bonus! Some in-battle conversations using the Talk command. I think I got some previously, which thus won't be here, and there are probably more down the road, but here's something. You have to realize there are tons of these, and many of them are pretty inane. I mean seriously, this is a lot of work to go through for two people exchanging generic pleasantries. Some good stuff though.
Lazlo - Snowe:)
Snowe: Lazlo.
Lazlo: Yes?
Snowe: I'm fighting well, aren't I?
Lazlo: Of course.
Snowe: Thanks. That's a relief to hear.
Snowe: Okay, I-I'll do my best.
Lazlo: I'm ready, too.
Snowe: Let's go.
True Friends Attack was learned.
(Lazlo was totally lying, Snowe is level 1. *cough*
Lazlo - Lino:)
Lino En Kuldes: Hey there!
Lazlo: I joined up with Kyril's group, just as you commanded.
Lino En Kuldes: I see. Help him out in any way you can.
Lazlo: Understood.
(Lazlo - Flare:)
Flare: Lazlo.
Lazlo: Hey!
Flare: How's it going?
Lazlo: Good, good. And you?
Flare: Just fine!
Flare: Lazlo...
Lazlo: Yes?
Flare: Kooluk is... It's completely different from what I expected.
Lazlo: ...
Flare: I used to think everyone in Kooluk was greedy, just a bunch of profiteers.
Flare: I'm ashamed to say it, but that's all I thought they were.
Lazlo: Well, Kooluk did mount that invasion of the Island Nations, unprovoked...
Lazlo: So, I don't think it's surprising that you felt that way about the whole kingdom...
(Lazlo - Kyril:)
Kyril: You worked for the King of Obel for a long time, didn't you, Lazlo?
Lazlo: That's right. It was after the fighting between Kooluk and the Island Nations.
Lazlo: I never had any particular serious job, though. All I did was fish, patrol the coast, things like that.
Kyril: Really...
Lazlo: King Lino En Kuldes of Obel has been really good to me. I'm in his debt.
Kyril: Lazlo... It looks like we're about ready to go!
Lazlo: Yes. I'm ready.
Kyril: All right, let's go!
Double Leader Attack was learned.
(What is it with ex-Tenkai and fishing?
Lazlo - Paula:)
Paula: Lazlo.
Lazlo: Hi, Paula. It's been a while.
Paula: It sure has. How've you been?
Lazlo: Not bad.
Paula: I have to admit -- I have mixed feelings about meeting up with people I've fought together with in the past.
Lazlo: Yeah... It's good to see them again, but... still...
Paula: Exactly...
(Lazlo - Jewel:)
Jewel: Hey, Lazlo!
Lazlo: Hi there, Jewel.
Jewel: It's been a while, hasn't it?
Lazlo: Sure has.
Jewel: Good luck to you!
Lazlo: Thanks. You too.
(Lazlo - Keneth:)
Keneth: Long time no see, Lazlo.
Lazlo: Yeah.
Keneth: I never thought I'd be fighting beside you again...
Lazlo: Yeah... Maybe one day we won't need to fight much any longer.
(Yes, "much any longer."
Lazlo - Tal:)
Tal: Hey, Lazlo!
Lazlo: Hi, Tal.
Tal: So how ya been, buddy?! Long time no see!
Lazlo: I've been okay. You look like you're doing well, too.
Tal: Heck yeah, you know it! Let's go smash up some cannons!
Lazlo: Right with you, Tal.
(Lazlo - Kika)
Kika: Ready, Lazlo?
Lazlo: I'm all set.
Kika: Okay... let's go!
Double Sword Attack was learned.
(I'm not bothering with most of Snowe's cause they're dull and pointless. Except this one!)
Jewel: Hey, Snowe!
Snowe: Hey there, Jewel.
Jewel: ?
Snowe: Is there something wrong?
Jewel: You've... changed, somehow.
Snowe: You think so?
Jewel: Yeah, it's like... some poison has been removed from your system.
Snowe: ...
Jewel: It's not like you've lost your soul...
Snowe: ...
Jewel: You've calmed down, somehow. You're still as cool as always, though!
Snowe: Er, thanks.
Editted with more STUFF! Now it's recruiting Lazlo and Snowe later in the game.
(It all starts with talking to Lino who is hanging out in the Gossip menu over at Obel.)
Lino En Kuldes: Oh, it's you guys... I trust the Kooluk investigation is going well?
Lino En Kuldes: Hey, before I forget... There's someone who works for me that you might find useful.
Lino En Kuldes: Probably over on the Deserted Island right now, fishing or something.
Lino En Kuldes: His name is Lazlo.
Lino En Kuldes: If you see him, tell him I said, "Help 'em out." I'm sure he'll be happy to lend a hand.
(Off to the island! And there at the coast... Lazlo is engaged in a CRAB BATTLE for what I'm sure is a very good reason. And we join in for the heck of it.)
Lazlo: Who're you?
Kyril: Are you Lazlo? The king of Obel asked me to deliver a message to you.
Lazlo: ?
Kyril: We want you to come with us. We need your help with something. The King's message was: "Help 'em out."
Lazlo: I see... Sure sounds like him. He was never one for pleasantries.
Lazlo: So... You'll fight with me, then?
Kyril: Huh?
Lazlo: Once we defeat them, they're going to be dinner. I'll go with you after that.
Kyril: Sounds like a plan!
(Go fight, lalala.)
Lazlo: Thanks. That didn't take long, with your help.
Kyril: Will you join us, then?
Lazlo: Oh yeah... You guys were in a hurry. Sorry for dragging you into this.
Lazlo: Let's split today's catch between us. I'll get my dinner another time.
Kyril: Oh, thanks. You don't have to do that.
Lazlo: No problem.
Lazlo: Well, let's get going.
Lazlo has joined us!
(Next stop is Razril. There, we get some more gossip from a creepy eyeless NPC:)
Boy: Up until a little while ago, the Vingerhuts were the top dogs in Razril.
Boy: But not anymore.
Boy: You know how I know? Because lately their son's been working in the alleys, on Furball patrol!
Boy: Maybe I'll give 'em a hand next time...
(Oh, Snowe. So, back to the back streets. You can probably guess what we find there, but for the sake of completeness, it's Snowe fighting some furballs. There's no dialogue at the start of the fight, but when Snowe gets his turn:)
Snowe: Gimme a break! How many of these things are there? Feels like we'll never get them all!
(And afterwards!)
Lazlo: Snowe.
Snowe: Lazlo? It's really you, Lazlo.
Snowe: It's been ages. How've ya been?
Lazlo: Fine.
Kyril: You know him?
Snowe: We're old pals.
Lazlo: Yep.
Kyril: Well then, why don't you join us, Snowe?
Kyril: We're heading for Kooluk to destroy some Rune Cannons.
Snowe: Okay, I'll go, too.
Snowe: I don't know if I'll be much help, but I'm happy to join you.
Kyril: Glad to have you.
Kyril: It's strange, though...
Kyril: Haven't we met somewhere before?
Snowe: Really? Hmm... I'm drawing a blank.
Kyril: Oh... Sorry, I'm probably mistaken.
Snowe: No sweat.
Snowe: Well, let's get going.
Lazlo: Kyril...
Lazlo: I think we have met. Long ago, in the alleys of Razril. We were on a Furball patrol...
Kyril: Ah!
Kyril: I remember!
Lazlo: What a coincidence, huh?
Lazlo: Well, let's get going.
Snowe has joined us!
I still can't find any sign of a Rest scene; I find the notion that they might lack one preposterous whether or not it's true. And apparently I can't see the old in-battle convos again on New Game +, so whatever I missed there will have to remain a mystery.
(The back streets of Razril at night. Two young boys enter. I wonder who they could be!)
Noble Youth: *gulp* Uhh...

Lazlo: What a coincidence, huh?
Lazlo: Well, let's get going.
Snowe has joined us!
