Chapter 2: A Brilliant Career

Chapter 2: A Brilliant Career is the third chapter of the horse-riding/mystery video game Petz Horsez 2 . It comes after Chapter 1: The Happy Event, if the player chooses to leave the farm, and before Chapter 4: Young Woman Seeks Apartment, skipping Chapter 3. You can find the full list of chapters here.

### Emma's diary entry

This is the only chapter that has two diary entries. The first one appears right when Emma leaves the stall, and the second one right after Emma has said goodbye to Flora. In the second one, the text suggests that Emma has already passed the interview, even though that is not the case.

### Walkthrough

#### Picking up the train tickets

As soon as Emma wakes up, she will receive a call from Flora, who will tell her that she must pick up her train ticket at the post office before 4PM. She also tells her that she has to hang up because she is very busy. Emma comments on the fact that Flora does not seem bothered about the fact that she is leaving, but that perhaps it is for the best.

The post office is at the south of the village, at the Town Square. You can fast travel there by using the map. If you do not make it there before 4PM, Elsys will tell you to try again tomorrow.

If you did not pick up the ticket, Elsys will remind you to do so when you wake up on the next day.

After picking up the ticket, a cutscene will start, showing Flora saying goodbye to Emma, who apologizes for having chosen his studies over the farm. Flora tells her not to worry and gives her a picture of them all to remember them by. Emma thanks her and tells her that she will be back soon. After this, **Chapter 2** officially starts with Emma's diary entry.

#### The job interview

This part of the episode begins when Emma is already in Paris, being interviewed for her internship in a big, elegant office. The doctor interviewing her is Dr. Daniel. The man will ask Emma a few outraging questions, like if she knows how to make coffee, if she is okay with working overtime, or if she has ever hit an animal to teach it a lesson. For the first 10 questions, you can select one of two options to reply to the questions or affirmations: either you agree, or you reluctantly disagree.

Table detailing each question and answer

```

 Are you sensitive to the animals' plights?
 Have you ever mistreated an animal?
 What if I have to hit an animal to teach it a lesson?
 I imagine that a dead animal would disgust you?
 Do you know how to obey without asking questions?
 Do you know how to make coffee?
 Are you against working overtime?
 For you, is the client always right?
 If I fire my secretary for being completely incompetent, which is the case, … would you mind taking appointments, answering the telephone, etc.?

\*Good answers here refer to answers Dr. Daniel will like.

* If you give 6 or more bad answers to the first 10 questions, Dr. Daniel says that the interview will not go any further and asks Emma to leave.
* If you gove 5 or more good answers to the first 10 questions. Dr. Daniel refers to the animals he treats as "dirty beasts" and to their owners as "looney clients". Moreover, he tells Emma that it will be a while before she can actually work as a vet and that she will, instead, wash and groom the animals. This is when Elsys intervenes to try to make you rethink your future choices.

After that, the questions become 8 hypothetical situations instead, and you will have three options for each one.

```
Table detailing each question and answer

```

 You are given a tip. What do you do?
 Someone asks you to groom their animal and there's no shampoo left. What do you do?
 A client accuses you of not taking good care of an animal. What is your reaction?
 Someone asks you why our prices are higher than the competition's. What do you say?
 The secretary is absent and the phone rings…. What do you do?
 A client comes in to put their dog to sleep, even though it's in perfect health… what do you do?
 A client requests a compliance vaccination certificate after their animal bit someone…

* If you give bad responses to 5 or more the 8 hypothetical situations, Dr. Daniel will ask Emma to leave and say that he will speak to her father for wasting his time

* If you give good answer to 6 or more of the 8 hypothetical situations, Dr. Daniel will be delighted and will urge Emma to sign the contract immediately. Elsys will then a ask the player what they want to do: go back to the horse farm and help Flora or stay with the doctor.
	+ If you decide to stay, the doctor will welcome you and tell you to bring him some coffee. Then, the game resets and you are taken back to the beginning of the interview.
	+ If you decide to go back to the farm, Emma apologizes and says she has a better offer elsewhere.

#### Return to the farm

Right away, a cutscene is played that shows Emma covering up Oliver's eyes from behind and asking "guess who". Oliver gets extremely excited about Emma's return and he starts screaming about it, waking everybody up.

The next morning, Emma will decide she has to go see Flora to see what she expects from her. You can find her in her office, and talk to her right away. Flora tells Emma that she is very happy that she is back and that she wants to hire her at the farm, even if her salary will not be very high. Moreover, she writes a list of secondary objectives on Emma's notebook and asks her to take care of the foal. This concludes Chapter 2 and you will get a popup informing you of when Chapter 4 will begin.

### Quests

* Go get my train ticket from the post office. It closes at 4pm.
