===Golden Hour===
;(First interaction)
:Vitali: A movable prop! This is more interesting than a zoo. Come on and have a look!
:Vitali: Hey, interested in a prop performance? Then you're at the right place.
:Vitali: I am Vitali, the most amazing prop trainer in Penacony! Look behind me! These are my latest training results.
: Training... props?
: Prop performance?
:Vitali: Yes, I believe you've seen before Sweet Dreams Troupe? Those adorable items have added colors to the Dreamscapes.
:Vitali: However, not all props can become part of the Sweet Dreams Troupe. To ensure only the best Dreamscape can be experienced by our customers, only lovable items will be remodeled by The Family.
:Vitali: As for why an item is not selected, the reasons can be many: some lack spirituality, some have poor quality control, some are immature, and some are too old — oh, this word might be misleading — it should be "past its useful life."
:Vitali: As a props master, I train the rejected items and help them to fulfill their dreams of "moving."
:Vitali: Let me put my words into action. Here's an untrained Dreamy Cone. I'll give you a live demonstration. Don't blink~
: Vitali throws out a whip out of nowhere and hit the cone hard with it. The whipcracking sounds make you squint your eyes.
:Vitali: Transform! I say, transform!
:The whipping only stops after several minutes. No, it isn't because the trainer decides to let the cone go, but because he has exhausted all his energy.
:Vitali: Whew, that's tiring... Look, that's my job every day.
: Is this really useful?
: ...Are you okay?
::Vitali: ...Ah, thank you. I'm fine. Only my back hurts a little.
:Vitali: No pain, no gain. To get these items moving, one must persevere and whip them for countless months.
:Vitali: I've exhausted every fiber of my body to make their dreams come true — if they were to disappoint me in their performance, they would be ungrateful.
: It feels like you're torturing them...
: Okay... It still sounds a little weird.
:Vitali: Ahem... fine. I admit that the training routine may not be acceptable to some.
:Vitali: But fret not. This method is fully compliant with The Family regulations. Anyway, immovable items aren't Intellitron, so they basically don't have any rights.
: You mean to imply they will have that after they move?
:Vitali: ...Ahem, no. I just came up with that term myself. Ignore me.
:Vitali: In any case, regardless of the Sweet Dreams Troupe or these items, they are just things for human entertainment!
:Vitali: I know of a few props masters who went nuts from their work and treated these items as their partners... They have gone overboard!
:Vitali: All in all, whether you took pity on these items or were just simply curious about them, feel free to come here for the performances — guaranteed to make you laugh your socks off!

;(If Vitali's Emotion is set to Calm)
:Vitali: Hey, I'm sure I can make big bucks with this idea...
: That's it for now.
----
;(If Vitali's Emotion is set to Angry)
:Vitali: These props are useless!
:Vitali: As long as they can still move, they should do their best to entertain the audience and make money for me!
: That's it for now.

;(If Vitali's Emotion is set to Happy)
:Vitali: Look at how adorable these props are. They are much more interesting than animals. Am I right?
: What kind of performances do you have?
::Vitali: For now, we have only three stalwarts — Miss Street Lamp, Mr. Glass Bottle, and the Trashcan Monster. Which one would you like to watch, customer?
:: Street Lamp.
:::Vitali: Great choice! Miss Street Lamp is the most favorable among the rich merchants. I'll call her in now.
:::Vitali leads the Street Lamp to you. When your eyes meet, it nods and greets you politely.
:::It is a slender and tall street map. When it greets you, its snow-white neck sways front and back, as if beckoning to you.
:::Vitali: And that's the only action Miss Street Lamp has. She's done with her performance.
::: ...That's it?
::::Vitali: Do not doubt Miss Street Lamp's fame. Didn't you see the way she greets you? Don't you think that's... a good sign?
::: Then why is she everyone's favorite?
::::Vitali: Ahem, that's because the way Miss Street Lamp greets others looks like... a very good sign.
:::Vitali: The merchants believe her action will bring them plenty of fortune, so they are always very generous when tipping her.
:::Vitali: Since she brings me so much wealth... I mean, since she's everyone's favorite, why is there a need for me to think of other actions?
:::You look at Miss Street Lamp again. It must be comfortable to hang on its long and slender neck...
:: Glass Bottle.
:::Vitali: Great choice! Even though Mr. Glass Bottle hasn't been on a show before, it has mastered a spectacular bouncing ability. Let me invite it out now.
:::
:::
:::Vitali: Oh, what's wrong with it? It performed so well during training... seems like I've not trained them hard enough.
:::Vitali: Customer, pardon him! I will certainly bring you a well-trained glass bottle next time!
::: The quality of this glass bottle needs to be improved.
::::Vitali: You're right! I'll get a better quality bottle next time.
::: Can it still be salvaged?
::::Vitali: It's just a liquor bottle. Instead of spending the effort to mend it, why not just buy a new one, right?
:: A trashcan.
:::Vitali: Good choice! The Trashcan Monster is our most popular item with the best performance! Let me bring it out now.
:::
:::Indeed, it has an air about it and has no intention to greet you.
:::Vitali: Looking at its firm muscles, dominant posture, and deep eyes, you know it must be an extraordinary trashcan!
:::Vitali: Trashcan Monster, come on and give us your best move!
:::Without a word, the trashcan obediently spins round and round, doing an unknown dance.
:::Somehow, you feel a sense of... familiarity. It's as if the trashcan before you is your long-lost .
:::Vitali: How was it? Are you satisfied with the performance, Customer?
::: It makes me wanna dance with it too.
::::Vitali: Hahaha, I never thought that you would like such a performance!
::::Vitali: No problem! I will give it more training so that it can do a dance duet next time!
::: It's weird.
::::Vitali: Er, this dance may be too focused on the "item's characteristics" and it's hard for ordinary people to follow.
::::Vitali: I accept your feedback and will train it further. Next time, it will be able to do a two-person dance performance!
:: Dreamy Cone.
:::Vitali: Er... Of course. But this item has yet to be trained, and the effect may be...
:::Vitali: Never mind. What's the big deal? I mustn't disappoint my customer! Please wait a minute...
:::
:::Vitali: I've trained this item with all my effort. It is the future star of Sweet Dreams Troupe and Penacony's beloved Cone Dancer. Now, show us your moves!
:::The Cone doesn't move an inch.
:::Vitali: I say, move! Move it!
:::Vitali raises his whip and hits the cone with it. However, there is no reaction from the cone.
:::The Cone Dancer seems to have transformed into a cream-bodied warrior, a giant monument at the base of the egg cone. Its indomitable fighting spirit is strawberry-flavored — *slurp*
::: (Eat the cone in one bite)
::::You swallowed the cone... This is the punishment for not listening!
::::As Vitali stares at you in bewilderment, you willfully taste the sweetness of the crunchy cone on your lips.
::::
::::Vitali: 
::::Vitali: You a—ate my Cone in Training! I will not forgive you!
:::;(Interact with Vitali again)
::::Vitali: Do you think that's it? Do you think you can leave after you ate my cone? No! Impossible!
::::Vitali: You've destroyed my precious item, and I will remember it forever! I'll never forgive you. Never!
::::If you're just an ordinary patron, maybe he can be mad at you forever. But not if it's you — time to show him the power of the Clockwork.
:::;(Tune Vitali's Emotion)
::::Vitali: ...
::::Vitali: By the way, how does the cone taste?
:::: Delectable.
:::::Vitali: Great. Its life amounted to something in the end.
:::: Average.
:::::Vitali: Perhaps you prefer other flavors.
:::: Horrible!
:::::Vitali: Whatever. I don't have another cone for you anyway.
::::Vitali: I noticed you were enjoying it just now, and an idea about cone struck my mind. At that moment, I suddenly realized one thing...
::::Vitali: ...You're right. Since a cone is meant to be eaten, why should I be angry that you ate it? The purpose of an item is to satisfy a human's needs, no?
::::Vitali: There are still many cones in this city, and I can just train another one. The previous one wasn't obedient anyway.
::::Vitali: Right, you seem to enjoy eating cones. Take these and stop eating my trained props.

:::;(Obtain Achievement On the Path of Voracity...)
::: (Stay calm and observe)
::::This tug-of-war goes on for a while until Vitali finally gives up. He wipes his perspiration and sighs.
::::Vitali: *sigh* It seems like the Cone Dancer isn't planning to obey me today... Indeed, under-trained items should never go on stage.
::::Vitali: I'm sorry, Customer. Allow me to complete its training before it performs for you again.
:: That's it for now.
:::Vitali: Don't worry. You can come here anytime.
: That's it for now.
::Vitali: Don't worry. You can come here anytime.

::;(First interaction)
:::Vitali: Come to think of it, there's no difference between training props and training animals. Most importantly, I must be able to earn money from it...
:::Vitali: Now that we've come to this, why not introduce more exciting performances — get the glass bottle to walk on tightrope and the trashcan to jump through fire hoops. Once the customers are happy, I won't have to worry about the money!
:::Vitali: And if the customers are keen to try new things, I can always let them experience the feeling of training props...
:::Vitali: Hey, that way, I can get both my money and my work done. What a great idea. I just need to stay calm and great money-making ideas just keep flowing~
::;(First time only)
::::Vitali: But on second thought, the cone I trained tasted delicious... Maybe it would be a good idea to sell crunchy cones instead?
:::;(Obtain )
:::Now that the passion for his career has melted away, Vitali's mind is only filled with business ideas.
::
:::Vitali: Useless items! Garbage! They can't even get anything right after all that training!
:::Vitali: That tattered glove can't even pick up a bottle cap after six months of training!
:::Vitali: All it needs to do is pick the money from the audiences' pockets. It only has one job, and it can't do it!
::: Did you train the glove... to steal?
:::Vitali: That's awful! What "steal"? That's just an indirect way to urge the audiences to give us tips!
:::Vitali: Moreover, the value of these items lies in the fulfillment of human needs. My need is cash! Cash is king!
:::Vitali: As long as they can still move, they should do their best to entertain the audience and make money for me! Unless they can magically conjure up some credits — that would save so many tedious steps in between.
:::Vitali: To think I have spent so much effort and time to train these props, is it wrong for me to ask for a little reward? Huh?
::
:::Vitali: ...
:::Vitali: Oh my, please don't mind my words — I love these props like my own, and I'm a fan of Penacony.
:::A dashing smile appears on Vitali's face once more, though you can't tell if it's honest.

::;(First interaction)
:::Vitali: Come to think of it, I have been in Penacony... for quite a long time.
:::Vitali: In the beginning, I was here to pursue my dream. But now? I don't even remember what was my dream.
:::Vitali: Fame, wealth, happiness... all these things attract me, yet I can't seem to get hold of any of them.
:::Vitali: I'm a failure... I can't even find someone who is willing to hear me out...
:::Vitali: In the end, only voiceless props will listen to my grumbles...
::;(First time)
::::Vitali: They are like my... partners? Boy, now I sound so pathetic... I need some snacks to lift my mood...

===The Reverie (Dreamscape)===
;(First interaction)
:Vitali: ...Hmmm, have I ever seen this transportation thing before? It feels familiar.
:Vitali: Ah, forget it! Same-purpose Sweet Dreams Troupe members all look the same! Why bother distinguishing them?
: (Chat)
:Vitali: Hey, if you'd like to talk, I'm all ears. Maybe you'd be interested in the props I've trained?
: I want to know what you think about this lounge.
::Vitali: You know what? This place is filled with morons! I've heard that some of my fellow Props Master treat props like companions, but I didn't know they're living here.
::Vitali: I heard those monsters are incredibly obedient, so I came to see how it's done. But what do I find? This is not prop-taming at all! Those fools treat these monsters like their bosses and even mix drinks for them! It's downright hilarious!
::Vitali: Disobedient items deserve a good whipping! I don't care about their moods! They're supposed to work hard for me!
::Vitali: And even if some of them don't feel like working, I have plenty of substitutes!
: I want to know what you think about me.
::Vitali: Oh, dear guest! How dare I have complaints about you? I'm honored that you're interested in my item show.
::Vitali: ...So, would you like to enjoy the show now? A little entertainment in this quiet joint would be perfect way to kill some time!
:: I'll watch the prop-taming show.
:::Vitali: Just a moment. It'll start soon.
:: ...Perhaps not.
:::Vitali: Don't be quick to say "no". Let me show you how it's done.
::
::Vitali: Ouch! It hurts!! Who the heck did that?!
::Starlet: My bad, I missed.
::Vitali: You useless piece of junk! If I were your master, this whip would... Ouch!!!
::Starlet: My bad, I missed again.
::Starlet: As long as you're sitting there, I can't resist aiming for your head.
::Vitali: You... I'll tell your master! Just you wait! There will be consequences!
