===(Trailblazer), great, you're here!===
;(Approach Sparkle)
:Sparkle: You're finally here!
;(Initial interaction)
:Sparkle: (Trailblazer), great, you're here!
: Wait, how did you get in here?
:Sparkle: It's a secret — and it's a good thing I got here so fast, otherwise you would have missed the fireworks I prepared.
: Are you going to blow up the Express this time!?
::Sparkle: Ugh, I'm not that big of a baddie you know...
::Sparkle: Although I've made quite a few "Mutually Assured Destruction" Buttons, it's not like I'm going to blow up everything I see...
: Fireworks? Where? I don't see any.
::Sparkle: Eh? That's weird... I pressed the button already. I wonder what went wrong...
:Sparkle: Gray Hair, don't be so nervous.
:Sparkle: I took a "Mutually Assured Destruction" Button and repurposed it into a "Sky Full of Sparkles" Button... I really wanted to give you an epic fireworks show!
:Sparkle: I tested it so many times just to make sure... And now that I finally boarded the Express, it doesn't even work. Oh well, luckily, I brought along some sparklers too!
:Sparkle: Let's light them up! Look! Aren't they nice!
: No playing with fire on the Express! Disembark immediately!
: Let's go! I'll give you a tour!
: Run! Pom-Pom is coming after us with a broom!
:Sparkle: Wait, hold up, where are you going? Don't leave!

===The data bank is very interesting.===
;(Approach Sparkle)
:Sparkle: This data bank is quite interesting.
;(Initial interaction)
:Sparkle: The data bank is very interesting. I love the entry for the Mourning Actors — it's so vivid and full of details.
: Is it true that they never smile?
::Sparkle: Not only do they not smile, they are also bitter, grumpy, and weep in sorrow all the time.
::Sparkle: If tears were worth money, I could depend on them to become the richest person in the Cosmos!
: You've met them?
::Sparkle: Ohhh, I've met them, alright. One time, I wore a weeping mask and snuck into their troupe.
::Sparkle: You can't even imagine the atmosphere there — even someone as heartless as me got the chills! I only stayed for a day before I couldn't take it anymore and slipped away.
:Sparkle: For me, living one's days out like that is too repetitive...
:Sparkle: I just want to find a happy corner in the universe and drift wherever the wind blows. If it's not fun anymore, I'll find a way to make it fun!
:Sparkle: Heh heh, storytelling time is over!
:Sparkle: How'd you like that story? I even came up with a scary version — wanna hear it?

===Did I sleep for long?===
;(Approach Sparkle)
:Sparkle: The sofa is so soft...
;(Initial Interaction)
:Sparkle: Did I sleep for long?
:Sparkle: The sofas here on the Express are too comfy. After falling asleep... even my dreams are soft and cuddly.
: What did you dream of?
::Sparkle: All kinds of sights: A lush forest after a cooling rain, green pastures and little foxes...
::Sparkle: And then... the dream started to twirl and fade away. Then, I woke up.
: You slept for the whole day!
::Sparkle: Really? You're not kidding, are you?
::Sparkle: But, if the cute forest, meadows, and little foxes hadn't started to twirl and fade away, I really might have slept for the whole day!
:Sparkle: I've never had such a dream before. In most dreams, I just go from one mask to another...
:Sparkle: But that's fun too — the masked dreams connect to each other seamlessly, like you're walking in a maze. Maybe one day, I'll find the way out!
: Dreams like that would scare me awake.
::Sparkle: When you are free sometime, I'll take you to one of my favorite scary places to test your mettle — what do you say?
: I don't remember my dreams.
::Sparkle: That's normal! I can't remember mine sometimes either.
::Sparkle: But that dream with the masks, each more vivid than the last... When I think about it, isn't that an allegory of my life?
: I don't dream.
::Sparkle: Huh? You don't dream? Ever?
::Sparkle: Sounds like an unusual condition you've got there. You should stay a while in Penacony!
:Sparkle: Oh? I just received another message — lemme see what kind of fun is inside this time!

===(Trailblazer), I have a question...===
;(Approach Sparkle)
:Sparkle: The Partner Database...
;(Initial interaction)
:Sparkle: (Trailblazer), I have a question: Is the Astral Express... interested in adding me to the Partner Database?
: The Partner Database?
::Sparkle: Yeah! I heard some buzz about this special Partner Database on the Astral Express.
::Sparkle: So... is that a real thing?
: Does it really exist? I'm not sure...
::Sparkle: I see... That's a pity. Have you considered starting one?
: We'd be keen!
::Sparkle: Sure!
::Sparkle: Since you agreed, I'll take you at your word!
:Sparkle: You know, I'm serious about this. What if you guys run into something that you can't handle? I'll be your nifty on-call assistant!
: Will you really be an... assistant?
:Sparkle: Yeah! An actual assistant! C'mon, don't be so distrusting — do I look like someone people can't rely on?
:Sparkle: A fun-seeker investigating fun things in the universe — I guarantee there's no way that could ever go wrong!
: ...
:Sparkle: ... All right, looks like you don't believe me... That's fine, I'll ask you again tomorrow!

===I've been thinking about making...===
;(Approach Sparkle)
:Sparkle: Craft a mask based on a personality type...
;(Initial interaction)
:Sparkle: I've been thinking about making a brand-new mask based on some trait. You know, switch it up a little. Any recommendations?
: I recommend introversion.
::Sparkle: That's easy. I'll just write a "Do Not Disturb" on the mask and avoid interacting with people, right?
: I recommend horror.
::Sparkle: Fangs bared, then add a little red dye... The more ghastly the expression, the better! Interesting, very interesting!
: Anything will do.
::Sparkle: How about forgoing the mask design then? A mask with no facial features, a personality with no personality...
:Sparkle: (Trailblazer), the ideas you've come up with are suuuuper Elating! I've decided to forge an exclusive mask for you!
:Sparkle: I've even thought of the design already, but it's a secret! Then it'll be a surprise the next time we meet! Don't you think so?

===Come quick! I've brought you...===
;(Approach Sparkle)
:Sparkle: I brought a little something.
;(Initial interaction)
:Sparkle: Come quick! I've brought you a shiny little thing. Open up the box and take a look!
: This box has so many layers...
::Sparkle: A box in a box, that's how you know the gift is sincere!
: Whoa! I love it!
::Sparkle: Whoa! You're so patient — you really peeled off all the layers!
;(Both dialogue options lead to the following response)
: Was there any other way to open it?
:Sparkle: Yeah? You could've gotten me to open it for you!
:Sparkle: To make sure these ten boxes fit within one another, I had to meticulously measure them — it would've been a bust if I was off by even one millimeter!
:Sparkle: It's a present. Of course it's gotta look the part.
