;(First interaction)
:Chad: Yo, what do we have here? Aren't you one of Penacony's shareholders? Come, I'll let you in on something interesting.
:Chad: There's going to be a super cool party next weekend — the annual Paperfold University Spheroid race warm-up party! All the big shots of Paperfold University are going to be there. Why don't you make a guess who didn't receive an invite—
:Chad: Me!!!
:Chad: Me! I'm Paperfold University's Party King, but I'm not invited to the biggest party of the entire school!?
: Me neither!
::Chad: Don't take it personally. They might think this party is beneath someone as famous as you. Does that make you feel better?
::Chad: But no worries! Once I'm in, I'll make sure to get you in too. As the Party King, I can't tolerate this kind of exclusion!
: This is outright Penabullyism!
::Chad: Absolutely! What a bunch of total ingrates!
:Chad: Just ask anyone on campus! Who hasn't been to one of my Friday night parties? Who hasn't had a cup of malt juice on me after a breakup? Even the student council president of our Academy — I'm pretty sure I bought him a drink at some point!
:Chad: A few days ago, I asked the party committee why I wasn't invited. They told me this year's kick-off party is only for students with "dreams." So apparently, being the Party King isn't considered a dream? How dare they!
:Chad: Hmph, I'll deal with them later. Right now, my top priority is finding a way into that party! I won't let my perfect party attendance record be ruined by such a lame excuse!
:Chad: Maybe I'll try to find a new dream. Got any dreams yourself? Tell me, and I'll help make it come true!

;(Subsequent interactions)
;(If Chad's Emotion is set to Angry)
:Chad: Since when did Penacony stop worshiping money? I must have missed that memo!
: I'd like to chat with you...
::Chad: Sure, I love chatting with people! What do you want to talk about?
:: The kick-off party for the university's Spheroid race?
:::Chad: That's a tradition we've kept going since the university's founding. Every year, the organizing committee would gather everyone on the weekend before the actual race, to build up hype and excitement for the event.
:::Chad: Oh, I should clarify. This party isn't for the professional Spheroid race that Hamster Ball Knight competes in, but for Paperfold University's very own Spheroid race.
:::Chad: Other than stellar students and those participating in the race, representatives from each academy and the dean will also be invited to the party. Psst, word has it Dean Glaux got totally plastered at the inaugural kick-off party!
:: Which academy's going to win this Spheroid race?
:::Chad: Why, Fortune Academy, of course! I have absolute faith in Romeo representing us. I won't be caught wavering, not even for a split second. And he already has two consecutive championships under his belt!
:::Chad: Ask any other student, and I'm sure you'll get the same answer. We're competing for the prestigious Glaux Cup, after all. Students are only going to cheer for their own academy.
:: Do you know a Czipo from Fortune Academy?
:::Chad: Hmph, you bet I do. Too bad that self-proclaimed party connoisseur's nothing compared to me.
:::Chad: Skipping the Spheroid race's party just to form a band? Bah! What fun is there in holing up in a classroom and bashing away on a keyboard? Is that going to draw any more attention than the fresh-faced Pepeshi racing this year?
:::Chad: If you ask me, I doubt he'll stick around in that band for long. Not when he loses interest in things so quickly.
:: I have nothing else to ask.
: That's all for now.
::Chad: As the Party King, I'm always willing to share! No need to be shy around me!
::Chad: Come to my next party if you're interested! Anyone's a guest, including those I just met.
----
;(If Chad's Emotion is set to Calm)
:Chad: I need to find a new "dream" before the party.
: That's all for now.
----
;(If Chad's Emotion is set to Happy)
:Chad: Want to talk about "dreams"? Well, I'm wide awake now.
: That's all for now.
----
;(If Chad's Emotion is set to Sad)
:Chad: She hates me... She likes me... She hates me... She likes me...
: That's all for now.

:::Chad: Since being the Party King isn't considered a "real" dream, I guess I'd better come up with a new one.
:::Chad: But what will I do? Oh, I know! I'll become a Spheroid racer like Romeo. That's pretty popular on campus!
:::Chad: But... last season's rallying event lasted a full 24 system hours! He reeked of sweat when he got off the Spheroid. There's no way I can handle that smell!
:::Chad: What else? Ah, what if I join the student council like Shawn? That kind of confidence really turns heads.
:::Chad: But... student council work is all unpaid. I wouldn't earn any grades or credits, and I'd have to advocate for the school. I want no part of dealing with those dinosaurs!
:::Chad: I might as well aim higher! Maybe I'll try singing like Miss Robin. Then, all the parties across the cosmos will be clamoring for me, and I wouldn't even glance at a mere Spheroid kick-off party at Paperfold University!
:::Chad: But on second thought, if I do make it big, I'd be touring across the cosmos. I heard Miss Robin's next tour has 152 concerts, each with 3.5 system hours of non-stop singing and dancing! I'm not sure I'm up for that!
:::Chad: Let's keep thinking, but honestly, hard work isn't my style. It's way easier to just focus on partying!
::
:::Chad: After being turned down by the committee, I went back for another try — this time with "a small present."
:::Chad: I mentioned that this year's kick-off party is going to be grand and costly. Luckily, my dad, who's a big fan of the school Spheroid races, would be more than happy to fully sponsor the party and ease their financial burden.
:::Chad: And you know what? Those fools did send out an invitation — not to me, but to my dad! They said the only criterion for students to get invited is still having a "dream"!
:::Chad: Now that Penacony doesn't care about money anymore, I hope you'll show some respect for good ol' credits?
::: There are some things that money can't buy.
::::Chad: Eh... Now you're really putting me on the spot. Since I already got my wallet out, it'd be awkward to put it away. Maybe my generosity can sway you.
::: But without money, you can't buy anything.
::::Chad: That's the spirit! I knew we were on the same page! From now on, I'll cover all the malt juice you drink at Paperfold University. Whether it's vintage or not, it's all on me!
::
:::Chad: Those people on the committee really have poor judgment. My "dream" is just as good as any — if not better!
:::Chad: Join my party, where the fun never wanes, whether you're flying high or feeling some strains. The fear of being apart is something we all know. From one cosmic mother, in diverse bodies we grow.
:::Chad: At my party, malt juice flows without cease, where laughter and tears find their release. Let us sing and drink, let all gaps fade away. Embrace who we are, and no soul in the world is alone today.
:::Chad: ...I forgot the rest. Anyway, just come to my party!
::: I truly fell for that.
::::Chad: Hahaha, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me. See? With the right spin, even a playboy like me can come off as a big philosopher. It's all about how you look at it!
::::Chad: Or, do you actually think my argument makes some sense?
::: You can't say anything without bringing up parties, can you?
::::Chad: What parties? I was talking about art — the clash of souls and the ascension of spirits! Hahaha!
::::Chad: See? With the right spin, even a playboy like me can come off as a big philosopher. It's all about how you look at it! Or, do you actually think my argument makes some sense?

:::Chad: Do you know anyone in Penacony who can erase memories? It doesn't matter if they're reliable or not.
:::Chad: *sob* I messed up my first meeting with Haru. I've had a crush on her since day one.
:::Chad: She... she is the epitome of everything wonderful, a beacon of grace far beyond the reach of a floundering student like me.
:::Chad: Her eyes always gleam with hope. Despite being born into poverty and losing her parents when their house collapsed due to unethical construction, she carved out a path in academia with tenacity. Now, she dreams of creating safe havens for underprivileged children.
:::Chad: And to top it all off, she's just breathtakingly beautiful!
:::Chad: I hadn't had the chance to meet her until last week, when I finally ran into her at a friend's birthday party.
:::Chad: It was the first time I'd seen her at a party, and I was so nervous that I just froze. I didn't snap out of it until well after the event was over.
::: What were you so nervous about?
::: I didn't peg you as the romantic type.
:::Chad: It's because I don't stand a chance with Haru. Rumor has it she hates everything about Fortune Academy, and some say she likes cute guys. Anyway, I'm not her type.
:::Chad: Thinking I could drink to calm my growing bundle of nerves before going to talk to Haru, I downed three shots of malt juice in one go... But when I finally sobered up, I realized I'd been out cold the entire night.
:::Chad: My friends said I fell to the ground like a log after chugging down those three shots, creating so loud a thump that it startled Haru at the table next to ours. They also said she hurried over to check on me...
:::Chad: Only to see me retching uncontrollably, spewing my stomach contents all over the place like a SoulGlad fountain...
::: That's no reason to tinker with her memory.
::::Chad: Uh... I—It's not her memory I want to erase, it's mine!
::: ...At least you left a deep impression on her now.
::::Chad: Yeah, that's exactly why I want to erase my memory of last night... Ugh, will I ever forget this hopelessly stupid blunder!?
