;(First interaction)
:Ruoyue: Ah, an esteemed customer visiting Xianzhou from afar. Are you here for a divination today?
:Ruoyue: Since it's your first time here, allow me to introduce myself. I am the genius diviner, formerly of the Divination Commission, now a humble shopkeeper of the Looking Bronze. My name is Ruoyue.
:Ruoyue: Whether you're seeking fortune or safety, or simply wish to check your horoscope, to find love, or even to request a name for a child. I am humbly at your service.
: I wish to name myself.
::Ruoyue: Oh, seeking a name for yourself? That is a rare request indeed.
::Ruoyue: Looking at you, and with a pinch of my fingers, and I've got the perfect name for you.
::Ruoyue: How about "Noob"?
:: That's worse than (Trailblazer).
:::Ruoyue: That sounds just fine. Your name is fine as it is. I see no need to change it.
:: That IS my name.
:::Ruoyue: I wouldn't have known that one with such elegant flair as yours would have such a resounding name.
:::Ruoyue: You may not be aware, but a name is the shortest form of a spell. If you're ever in peril, just yell out your name "Noob," and it will surely be useful to you.
:: You don't think your naming lacks a little sophistication?
:::Ruoyue: Noob Noob, never want for gulp or slurp. Noob Noob, Luofu's friend, always a perk.
:::Ruoyue: If you don't like that, how about a fee to unlock" "Sophisticated Names and "Seriously Sophisticated Names"... I have services for all needs.
: I wish to know my fortune.
::Ruoyue: You've come to the right person. This is our shop special, the "Fortune for Today." The first try's free. Let me see...
::Ruoyue: Oh dear, this scene paints the destruction of the Xianzhou Cangcheng: "Fighting fire with woods will only fuel the flames." Your recent affairs haven't been going your way, so instead of remedying them, you should leave them be.
::Ruoyue: We provide fortune-changing services, like the "Evil Begone" bundle for 199, "See No Evil" bundle for 299, and the "Only Good Things From Here On Out" bundle for 599. All great value! What do you think?
:: It feels like you didn't really think those bundles' names through.
:::Ruoyue: Those names are of no importance. The prices speak for themselves!
:::Ruoyue: Names are just superficial packaging. They can change anytime.
:: Did you make me pick a dire fortune on purpose?
:::Ruoyue: Oh, you hurt me with your words. If you don't believe me, let's try another one. Look, it's still the same: "Like birds into nets, when will reunion be, one frets".
:: I can change my luck just like that?
:::Ruoyue: Your luck isn't something set In stone. If everything was already pre-determined, where would one's freedom be?
:Ruoyue: You are our lucky 100th customer for the day, so I'll give you an "Evil Begone" bundle as a favor. This is your "lucky trinket" for today. Don't lose it now.
:Ruoyue: Do you have anything else you need help with?

;(Subsequent interactions)
:Ruoyue: Oh, you're back again? Hold on, I'm reading a book called "A Prophecy's Self-fulfillment."
:Ruoyue: Well, that was boring. It's much more interesting to talk to you. Are you here to determine your luck, or just to chat?
:Ruoyue: Whether you're seeking fortune or safety, or simply wish to check your horoscope, to find love, or even to request a name for a child, I am humbly at your service.
: I wish to know my fortune.
;(Note: This interaction is available once a day. Divination results are randomized, and getting certain results for the first time unlocks the corresponding achievement.)
:Ruoyue: I see. Please close your eyes and meditate on the question in your mind.
:You dive into the depths of your mind and meditate on the question in your mind.

:;(Obtain Achievement All Is Well)
;(If a "Woe" result is received)

:::The bearer of this sign is unaware of their predicament and is attempting something that is doomed to fail.

:::You see the Xianzhou Daiyu combating against the viscorpi and ending the cataclysm of countless abominations. Though it had fallen, new life now blooms from that shattered cradle.
:::The receiver of this omen is currently in thick darkness devoid of light. As for the question you asked — this darkness shall remain thick and impenetrable until the sun rises, and all shall fade as a shadow. However, you are near the break of dawn.

;(If player has already received a divination result)

----
;(If has been completed, one-time only)
: The Ambrosial Arbor is growing again...
::Ruoyue: Tsk, that can't be a good omen.
::Ruoyue: The Luofu has been ravaged by disaster recently. Everyone thinks that the Cloud Knights are capable of solving every problem under the sun, no matter how great or small.
::Ruoyue: But the Ambrosial Arbor's growth doesn't fall within the scope of operations for the Cloud Knights...
::Ruoyue: I'm not sure if the master diviner has foreseen this? I'm thinking probably not.
----
;(If has been completed, one-time only)
: Have you divined for the Ambrosial Arbor crisis?
::Ruoyue: I divined when it sprouted, but I didn't bother to check again later because I didn't think it was necessary. Neither its sprouting or its sudden stop came as a surprise to me.
::Ruoyue: It's just like... like each sign consists of yin and yang. If the Ambrosial Arbor suddenly sprouts, then it's destined to stop just as suddenly.. This result is bound to happen.
::Ruoyue: As for the impact, I'm not an official, and I don't think it's my job to worry about it. That's what the master diviner is for, right? For me, I'm more interested in figuring out what I'm going to eat for dinner.
----
: I'd like to ask you a few things...
::Ruoyue: Fire away. But I'll have to start charging if It's to do with your fortune.
:: You said you were once a Divination Commission diviner?
:::Ruoyue: So, you have doubts about my professional proficiency. No fear, I worked there for almost two centuries, until I was personally ejected by Master Diviner Fu Xuan.
:::Ruoyue: Master Diviner Fu Xuan foresaw that she would remove me from the Divination Commission, so she did. 
:::Ruoyue: How could someone make a decision based off something that hadn't happened yet? Anyway, I did leave the Commission, but the entire situation was a farce.
:::Ruoyue: Even if the Divination Commission didn't want me, I could still run my little old divination paraphernalia shop here. Outworlders who can't get their fortunes at the Commission could come to me instead.
:: I've heard that your divinations aren't accurate?
:::Ruoyue: Of course they are accurate! Who told you that? Give me their name.
:::Ruoyue: ...Then again, they aren't totally wrong. Many times, the line between accuracy and inaccuracy is... subjective.
:::Ruoyue: Most people just want to know about their fortunes and have some sort of control over their future. In truth, everyone moves in a general direction in the great stream of destiny, but when it comes to actual good or ill luck...
:::Ruoyue: That's a hidden current of probability no one can ever fathom. To capture such an intricacy, you'd have to invest massive resources and rely on devices as huge as mountains to calculate that.
:::Ruoyue: So, one of the rules in the Divination Commission's "Three Don'ts" is "Don't divine personal matters." It's not particularly taboo or anything — just that there are too many variables and does more harm than good.
:::Ruoyue: But for me? I've got other ways. I provide clients with the most ambiguous results possible — it's about the limit of accuracy for my tiny shop anyway.
:::Ruoyue: For example, I don't even have to pinch my fingers to foretell that you will have a small amount of wealth coming in sometime between this week and this month. Am I right? Of course I am.
:: I see a few game tables here as well?
:::Ruoyue: I do business. Divination makes money, and so do games of cards and tiles. There's no conflict of interest.
:::Ruoyue: I knew a girl called Qingque during my time at the Divination Commission. You'll run into her if you come here often. She recreated this game called "Celestial Jade" from old books.
:::Ruoyue: How nice it'd be to play a few rounds with friends. It lifts my spirits just seeing them play, too. If I could earn a living with a games parlor, I wouldn't be doing any divination.
:: I don't have any other questions.
:::Ruoyue: Come back again, esteemed customer. If you're down on your luck, I'll be here to help you turn it around.
: I don't have any other questions.
::Ruoyue: Come back again, esteemed customer. If you're down on your luck, I'll be here to help you turn it around.
