## Description

Dusty is an all-black female cat with yellow eyes. She wears a pair of red headphones with black earpads. Her tongue occasionally sticks out, usually when she is listening to music.

## Items and Requests

#### Additional requests

At any given time, Dusty may request for the player to collect socks scattered around the tower or get rid of floating hairballs in the room.

## Dialogue

#### **First meeting**

 ♩♪♫♩♪♬♪

(An unfamiliar cat is humming a tune.)

 Oh, hello there!! I'm Dusty!!

 Do you live here too?

Do I live here..?

1.Uhh... Maybe?

2.Yes, I've lived here ten years now.

 I don't know who built it, but this looks like a real nice place to live!

(I don't think she's listening to what I'm saying... Is she...?)

 This room doesn't really suit a **Musician** yet.

 If there were just some **Drums** and **Speakers**, I could get right to working on new songs!

(Drums...? Won't that cause a lot of noise...?)

 All right! I'm moving in here today!

 Here's to a happy future!

(She really is enthusiatic!)

#### **First request completed**

 Oh, so these are drums... They're bigger than I expected.

(Dusty looks at the drums with bright and shiny eyes.)

Player: Why don't you try them out?

(Dusty t... tries to pick up the drumstick... ...but her cat paws can't grasp it.)

 This... This drumstick is broken! Oh well...

Broken?

1. I don't think it's broken...

2.Stupid, useless drumstick!

 A true rockstar doesn't need some stupid sticks! Hahaha!

(She threw the drumsticks to the floor...)

 Where shall we begin...?

*BONG... BANG... BOOM... CLINK*

(Maybe because she's using her paws... ...but the sound is surprisingly soft.)

 Rock and roll, baby!!

(Her energy more than makes up for the lack of sound.)

(It's nice to see her look so happy.)

 Thank you so much! I'm going to practice every day!

(Will the neighbors be okay...? It's not very loud, it should be fine...)

#### **Second request completed**

 *TWANG TWANG*

(Dusty is wearing headphones and headbanging.)

 The heart of a tuuuna♪ Is nothing but darkness!♪

 But it sure is nutritious!♬

(She's so into it that I don't think she knows I'm here.)

 Hiiiigh! Protein! Looow! Fat!♬ Good for your body and your tongue!

(Is this an ad for tuna cans...?)

Dusty still doesn't realize I'm here...

1.Ask for an encore.

 Hehe, I wasn't planning to do an encore... But if you insist!

2.Shake a tuna can.

 Shake it! Shake it! A nutritious tuna tuna can can!♬

 Catnip is nice too! But nothing beats a can of tuna~!♬

 Make some noooiiise!!

*BOOM... PANG... CHING...!*

 Woohoo! That's all for today's performance!

(We didn't talk much, but I think we communicated plenty through the music!)

#### **Third request completed**

(Dusty's floor is covered with crumpled paper.)

 No, no...That won't work...

(Dusty crumples another piece of paper with her fuzzy paw and throws it behind her.)

Player: Is...is something wrong?

 Shush! Quiet!

(Did Dusty just say "quiet"? What happened?)

 I need perfect concentration if I'm going to make a hit song!

 No...Not this either! This isn't rock and roll!

(Dusty thinks hard, pressing her furry forehead with her soft paw.)

 What kind of song should I write...to bring out the rhythm in my heart?

What should I suggest?

1. Tuna Cat Rhapsody

2. Oh, my Nonogram Melody

 Circles...and Xs... Hints are overflowing...

3. You, Myself, and Catnip

 Finally...That's it! I can hear the rhythm in my heart!

 Thank you! This'll be my masterpiece! Please leave, I can't concentrate with you here!

(I feel like she's kicking me out...But I should let her focus.)

#### **Fourth request completed**

 *TWANG TWANG*

(Dusty seems to be playing the guitar.)

 *CHICKA CHICKA*

(Oh, looking carefully, she doesn't have a guitar...)

(Don't tell me... That sound is coming from her mouth?)

 Oh hello! I was waiting to play you my new song!

Player: How did you do that?

 True masters of music never blame their silly instruments!

Player: Huh?

 The most important thing is not the instrument... But how you express the rhythm of your heart.

The rhythm of your heart?

1. You mean... with your mouth?

2. I don't think that was a guitar...

 Haha! Not everyone can do it!

 What can I say? I'm just **THE ONE** with music!

(She's pretending not to hear me again...)

 Well, as thanks for being the first person I've played for, I'll tell you my secret!

(She's never played to anyone before?!)

 Not for free though! I'll only tell you if you keep coming to my concerts!

 Here's a VIP ticket!

(I think Dusty and I have gotten a lot closer. I should hang out more often!)
