## Quotes

### **Scarlett's Lounge:**

* *"I bought these lottery tickets from the general store the other day. A first in my life. Well, they turned out to be gacha tickets. And now I've got these stupid looking toys hanging out in my room. Eh... I guess it spruces up the place."*
* *"Never really knew what to do with my free time. Hell, I'm not even used to having free time."*
* *"Sigh. I'm kinda bored."*
* *"Are fanny packs out of style? How can I be the only guy using 'em around here?"*
	+ (I think they're making a comeback, actually.) *"That so? I knew I was this village's fashion icon."*
	+ (What's in there anyway?) *"If you're hoping for something juicy you'd be disappointed. Just my shades, my phone, pack of cigarettes... Nothing interesting."*

* *"Go get your drinking game on! I'm getting pretty bored."*
	+ (I thought... you didn't like when people got too drunk.) *"Yeah, well, I know by now you're still as harmless and behaved drunk. You just look stupid as hell. It's funny to watch."*
* *"Guhh. I'm really not one to take things for granted but standing for so long gets tiring sometimes."*
* *"I suppose I've had a job similar to this before. Was a doorman for this second-rate apartment building."*
	+ (No kidding?) *"Yeah. Pay was second-rate too. Hated that gig. I get paid so much more here. And they encouraged me to be an asshole. Perfect."*
* *"...Just a few stick left in this pack. Remind me to pick another one up, eh?"*
	+ (Could you remind me to remind you?) *"Oh, come on!"*
	+ (Maybe you shouldn't..?) *"Hey. I work hard for my carrots- don't tell me what I can or cannot do with 'em- capiche?"*
* *"Boss, how's this: Grrrrrr..... Growl..!"*
	+ (Ooooh! Positively terrifying.) *"Nice. I appreciate the feedback."*
	+ (Did you just say 'growl' out loud?) "......... I'll workshop this, then."
* *"See, the good thing about these shades is that people can't tell if I'm secretly getting some shut-eye, heh."*
* *"If you're looking for reasons to be sober just step into my shoes. Front row seats to all stupid shit people do when drunk."*
* *"Ratthew... I don't know why, but he gets on my nerves sometimes. Such a smartass know-it-all. Bet he thinks I'm dumb as rocks."*
	+ (I think he's nice.) *"Nnngh. Just a gut feeling. And my gut's right like 60% of the time."*
	+ (I kinda get what you mean.) *"Right? He can shove it for all I care."*
* *"I know what you're thinking- why the hell do I take this damn job so seriously?"*
	+ (I wasn't-) *"I'm stationed here for a reason. Some stuff going in here I don't understand, maybe- I don't know. You're nothing if you don't keep your word. So if I'm told to stand guard I do just that."*
		- (O..kay..) *"You hear me, boss?! Dishonorable people are like dirt under your heel! The worst of the worst."*
* *"You know I haven't been bouncing for very long. Totally different gig from crap I did before to get by."*
	+ (Do you like this job?) *"Hmm. Mostly, yeah."*
		- (Coolio.) *"Yeah."*
		- (Cool. Any funny stories?) *"One time, I didn't let this group of hooligans in. They were totally shitfaced and obviously looking for trouble. Ten minutes later, they came by with a carton of eggs and started throwing them at me! Was pretty funny. The hell are eggs gonna do to me? Gave 'em a light battering and that was that."*
* *"I know you love being nosey, boss, but be careful where you're stuffing your snout here."*
* *"Hey, I see some associates come by here sometimes. I'd advise you try not to get involved with them."*
	+ (Oh no. Are they up to no good?) *"I haven't a clue, boss. Maybe they are, maybe they're just here for a drink. I'm just a lowly grunt who's good at fighting. They don't really tell me shit. Just be careful, okay?"*
* *"Was waiting for you to show up! Welcome back."*
* *"Boss. Just wanna say I appreciate you chatting with me whenever you come by."*

#### **Working period:**

* *"A bowl of ramen would have been perfect when I'm done with my shift later. Man, Bobo should get an assistant. Make his cart a 24 hour joint."*
* *"Scarlett's stuff isn't the type of music I normally tune in to but I ain't complaining. She sounds like an angel. Or what I imagine angels would sound like."*

##### **Tired:**

* *"Buhh... Hey, Boss. ID and whatever, please...yeah."*
* *"I don't let people who've obviously had way too much to drink. Tend to be troublemakers. Kinda funny to see people tryna act sober though."*
* *"There's probably no one swinging by this time of the night, but I gotta perform my duty."*
* *"Ugh, ok... I totally underestimated how tiring it can be standing for hours."*
* *"Nnnrgh. Would have been nice if I had someone else take over for me sometimes."*
* *"Meh... Kinda sucks everything's closed when I get off work."*
	+ (The general store should be open...) *"Right, 'cuz I wanna buy a cabinet after a long day's work."*
* *"I would rip someone's heart out right now for some Bobo's extra mega spice volcano ramen right now..."*
	+ (Spice doesn't actually warm up yo-) *"Nnnnghhh, I don't care!"*
* *"Rhinos like me ain't too good with the cold, but ugh, I gotta do what I gotta do."*
* *"Grr... I'm gettin' hungry too."*
* *"Uggghhhh... My back's killing me."*
* *"Don't start any trouble, y'hear? I'm just not in the mood for anything..."*
* *"That's enough, boss, I don't have the energy to even talk right now..."* **(pester)**

##### **Active:**

* *"Hey, come here. Feel my biceps."*
	+ (DAMN, son!) *"I know right? All those years of physical labour. Didn't get much carrots but at least I'm buff as hell."*

###### **Normal:**

* *"Sorry boss, your name's not on the list."*
	+ (There's a list??) *"Nah man, I'm just messing with you."*
* *"Hungry..."*

###### **Stretching:**

* *"ID please.*
* *"Ah, Tsuki! Boss, I should say. You know how it is- no ID, no entrance."*
* IDs where I can see ‘em.
	+ (I’m over 21… You know that.) It’s just policy, bossman. Now let’s make this quick- identification?
* *"Yes?"*
	+ (Drinks?) *"No thanks, boss. I'm working. Also I can't stand that shit."*
* *"Notice anything about me today?"*
	+ (Uhh..) *"Come on, man! I polished my horn extra hard today. I look more intimidating, right?"*
* *"Sigh... Could do with a stool like Ratthew over there but I guess I wouldn't look as tough sitting down."*
* *"Got a little buck wild last night, eh? Thought you'd stumble into the river on your way home."*
* *"Why the hell do people yap about their day to me...I'm just a guy who lets you in. Ratthew's right there anyway! He'll eat your stories right up."*
* *"No funny business as long as I'm around, yeah?"*
	+ (So it's okay if you're not around?) *"Eh...what you do in your free time isn't my business."*
* *"Sorry bossman, I'm working here. Bouncers ain't supposed to be chatting with customers."* **(pester)**
* *"Boss... You fixin' to get thrown out or something?"* **(pester)**

#### **Before shift starts (8pm):**

* *"Yo, what a coincidence."*
* *"Shift's about to start soon..."*
* *"Hey, boss. Couldn't wait till later to see me?"*
* *"Ugh. I know that you know, but I've been... lean in a little closer, will ya? I've been collecting these stupid Animaz whatchamacallits..? Toys? Of surprisingly good quality? It's stupid, I know-*
	+ (No! I collect them too!) *"Okay, so you get it. Aren't the odds ridiculous? I've been trying forever to get the old white tiger! I mean, clearly he's the coolest of the bunch. Aghhh, but I'll never get him."*

### **Bobo's Ramen Restaurant**

* *"Hey, boss. Here for the best damn ramen too?"*
* *"Bobo know how I like it. Strong borth, hard noodles."*
* *"A perfect bowl of ramen is gonna need a perfect cup of tea to wash it down. And ain't that convenient, Momo's right next door."*
	+ (Uhh.. Actually-) *"Yeah, yeah, I know they've got a whole thing. What are they gonna do about it? Bobo's strong but there's no way he could beat me in a fight. As for Momo...well she's an old sloth."*
* *"I could have this for every meal. Man, if only Bobo opened up shop when I'm done with my shift."*
* *"Ohhhh.... That's the stuff..."*
* *"I almost exclusively ate instant ramen when I was younger, in the slums. That shit has nothing on the real thing."*
* *"I'm almost tempted to get a third bowl...."*
* *"This is so damn good..."*

### **All locations**

* *"I'm just standing aroung and looking at people... Just like I'll do later at the lounge... Man, do I need a hobby or something?"*
	+ (Maybe you could go fishing?) *"What, that's so boring! I'm normally down for anything but I don't think fishing and me click. Sorry, boss."*
	+ (Good to get some practice in, eh?) *"Haha. Wanna practice brawling too? I could use the warm up. I'm kidding, boss."*
* *"A shame the nearest mall's a few train stops away. Malls are fun if you've got the carrots. Karaoke, bowling alleys, arcades... Man, not to mention the food."*
	+ (I can't imagine a badass guy like you killing time like that.) *"Hahaha! Then you haven't met enough 'badass' guys."*

* *"I'm just people watching. Ain't much else there is to do in this village."*
