Dialogue
First Meeting
Harko Village: Arsen Demo: Yes? What can I do for you?
Neo Carthag Arena: Arsen Demo: You're new. Are you a fighter or a voyeur? I suppose we will find out soon enough. My name is Arsen Demo. This pit is my purgatory for the current eternity.Dialogue within Harko Village
Arsen Demo: Yes? What can I do for you?
''The Player'': Do you know where I can find the Fremen?
Arsen Demo: There remain some local Town Fremen. You could ask one of them. Of course they will tell you nothing.
The Player: Don't see many Atreides here in Harko.
Arsen Demo: You are right. This is a Harkonnen place. If I were still with my unit. I would not survive long here. Now the Harkonnen regard me with hateful indifference. A status I have won by no easy means.
The Player: Why are you not with the Atreides anymore?
Arsen Demo: That my friend is for another time. Try to stay alive until then. If you are able.
Dialogue within Neo Carthag Arena
Arsen Demo: You're new. Are you a fighter or a voyeur? I suppose we will find out soon enough. My name is Arsen Demo. This pit is my purgatory for the current eternity.
The Player: [1] You have an upcoming fight?
Arsen Demo: That's correct. I'm up against Vitor Azat. He's formerly of the Harkonnen military and I am formerly of the Atreides. You see the symmetry? I'm sure that was Maksim's doing. If I have to listen to one more of his gaudy introductions...
The Player: [2] Can just anyone duel in the ring?
Arsen Demo: The pit does not discriminate. Maksim can be cagey until he gets to know someone. He'll likely try and squeeze you for some free favors first.
The Player: [3] Tell me about yourself.
Arsen Demo: What are you looking to know?
The Player: Tell me something of your past.
Arsen Demo: I'm from Caladan, born to a family of rice farmers. I got off the farm by joining the Caladanian Army. I've seen some real sights, but more and more I find myself yearning for home. And that is more than I normally say to a stranger.
The Player [CALADAN]: I too hail from Caladan. No matter where I go, it calls to me.
Arsen Demo: Hail, cousin. That's the thing about home, isn't it? When we're there, we want to be anywhere else, and when we're anywhere else, we want to be there.
The Player: [4] How did you end up here?
Arsen Demo: I joined the Atreides military, and was quickly put into intelligence. I served some undercover missions. One calamity followed another, and through a series of choices and regrets, I wound up here.
The Player: [1]: Can you expound on that?
Arsen Demo: I don't think I will.
The Player [Atreides]: [2]: I serve the Atreides myself.
Arsen Demo: Well... May it go better for you.
Arsen Demo: Ah yes. The prison cell. It is a small desert world indeed, is it not, my friend? Perhaps we'll run into each other again in the future, outside this pit.
Lore
Early Life
Arsen Demo was born the son of two Caladanian rice farmers. Upon coming of age, he joined the Caladanian army and left home. Due to his skills, he was quickly swept up by Caladanian intelligence and sent on many undercover missions for the Atreides. After some time, he went rogue, making choices he would come to regret and now spends his days in Harko Village, calling it a prison.
