Dirk (GrB)

is a character in Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar. He is one of the eligible bachelors to court.
He is Ivan's younger brother. Dirk is fun and energetic, but a bit childish at times. He works part-time at the Café as a waiter with Joan and Marian. Dirk never leaves the town like his brother does, and can be found in various parts of Zephyr Town. He loves to help other people. He looks up to Ivan, but often feels like a shadow of his more successful brother.
In order to marry Dirk, you must befriend Ivan up to 4 hearts (30,000FP) for Dirk to accept your proposal. If Ivan and Dirk both have red hearts, you must get one of their affection points lower in order to propose (depending on which brother you choose).

Black Heart Event
Walk from the waterfall screen near Lloyd's house into Zephyr Town between 6 and 8pm on Monday or Tuesday during clear weather to trigger Dirk's first event. 
Dirk and Sherry are talking together by the café when you join decide to join them. Sherry and Dirk are having a conversation about cats. They just don't seem to like Dirk, no matter how kind he is to them! A cat wandered into the café while Dirk was working, but it ran away from him when he tried to get close. Dirk then asks if you like cats.
If you tell Dirk that you do, he will be happy that you are a fellow cat lover! If you disagree and say that you don't like cats, Dirk will be disappointed and you'll lose affection.
----
Purple Heart Event
When Dirk has a purple heart and you've seen the first event, enter the hotel screen (entering from Zephyr Town) on a Thursday between 2pm and 5pm during clear weather. 
Dirk is busy searching for bugs. He wants to help Kevin play one of his pranks! Although not related, he thinks of Kevin as a younger brother and likes to help him from time to time. Dirk then asks you to help him find the perfect bug for Kevin to use.
Whether or not you decide to help Dirk, you'll still get a positive reaction. If you agree to help, he'll ask you to find the grossest looking bug that you can find. If you don't feel like helping, Dirk will think it's kind of funny that you don't like bugs. 
----
Blue Heart Event
Walk into the café on a Wednesday or Friday between the hours of 12pm and 5:30pm to see Dirk's next heart event. He must have a blue heart and the previous heart events must have already been seen for this to occur. 
Dirk is working on a new dish and has Marian and Joan taste test it for him. Both women seem to like what Dirk has made, and he asks you to also taste it for him.
If you tell Dirk that his dish is tasty, he will be very pleased (+3000FP). He blushes, and offers to come over and make you something sometime. If you tell Dirk that his dish was only okay, he's a little bit confused since Joan and Marian seemed to like it. You will lose 2000FP.
----
Yellow Heart Event
Dirk's last event triggers late at night at Ivan and Dirk's house. Visit the brothers between 9pm and 11pm on any day of the week (except for a bazaar or holiday). All of Dirk's previous heart events must have already been watched and Ivan must have a blue heart (20,000FP) minimum. 
When you walk into the house, you see that Ivan and Dirk are talking in the kitchen. Ivan accuses Dirk of helping Kevin with his recent pranks. Dirk denies that he had any hand in it. A short time later though, Dirk leaves the house to be alone.
You run after Dirk and find him at the bridge. Dirk explains that Ivan's accusation were correct and that Dirk feels guilty about having to lie to his brother. He's embarrassed and worries that he still has a lot of growing up to do. Dirk then apologizes to you.
If you ask Dirk to smile it will cheer him up. He agrees that he shouldn't be so hard on himself and thanks you (+3000FP). If you tell Dirk that he will figure something out, he doesn't feel very cheery at all but thanks you anyways (-5000FP). Afterwards, Dirk returns home to Ivan.
==Rival Heart EventsGrand Bazaar, Bachelor Dirk fogu.com==
NOTE: You must see each of these rival events before you see Angelo and Daisy's equal level of rival event. Triggering Daisy/Angelo events before Dirk/Antoinette will cause an issue with triggering Dirk/Antoinette's events. There are no issues with viewing Dirk/Antoinette and then viewing Daisy/Angelo; just not the other way around.Grand Bazaar, Bachelor Dirk fogu.com

Marian suggest that the person he's trying to help probably knows how he's feeling and might start to show up more!
Antoinette then enters the cafe and asks Marian about an order she placed. She then notices Dirk and asks him if he works here.
