Reece

* Phone Fling
* Human
* Animal
* Hybrid

**Reece** is a Time Traveler who came to your Time Line while following a powerful anomaly. He proceeded to lose (almost) all of his things, and his Plot Device recommended your assistance. He is unlocked when you reach Boyfriend level with Kelby.

Reece was chosen as the winner of Vote-a-Fling Season 5 and is the fifth Phone Fling guy to be turned into a fully Date-able guy. To unlock him as a full guy, you have to complete both of his conversations with you and get 14 stamps on LTE event or purchasing the Reece Bundle. He is the nineteenth guy in the game's main tab, but he is not part of the main story and you do not need to unlock any other guys to obtain him.

## Phone Fling Messages

Note that pauses under 30 minutes long are not indicated. Where the progress column says (A) or (B), these are your left and right options for how to respond.

### Uncut Version

The NSFW track is almost identical to the SFW track. All three pictures are different between versions.

## Dialogue List

### **First Meeting**

1. The coordinates on your phone lead you to a scrap yard littered with rusted remains of 1980s cars, domestic and imported telephone booths, and even a hot tub.  Right on cue, a streak of light appears in the sky, followed by a fiery explosion as an Unidentified Falling Object crashes to Earth!
2. The machine or ship or whatever's suitably sci-fi looking door hisses open, and a pair of ominous glowing eyes peer out at you.
3. Then, out of the wreckage tumbles a mildly singed...kitty cat?  **"Oooh... I haven't botched a landing that badly since the time I tried to be fashionably late to a toga party and wound up mistiming my arrival in Pompeii!"**  That's when you notice the unmistakable scarf.  It's Reece, and he's totaled his Newt-on!

### **Adversary**

* I'm supposed to collect Creatures, not become one!  On the other hand...who else can boast the inclusion of one's own self as a specimen in their Dex-Dex?

#### Talk

* Out of all my wacky, periodically quasi-educational adventures, being subject to involuntary transmogrification is a mew--excuse me, new one, at least! I'm looking forward to it!
* Oh, my Newt-on! Poor old girl's been reduced to scrap! And before you ask, yes, my Newt-on is a girl!  She told me so herself.  Her AI is very advanced, you see.
* Either a cat hair found its way into the Newt-on causing a DNA-splice error, or my scarf got caught in the steering and knocked me into a parallel reality where I'm a cat.  We may never know!
* Without my Newt-on, I may be stranded for a very long time!  Speaking of which, just how slowly does time move when it's in the right order, anyway?
* How am I supposed to travel now?  I've read extensively about commercial airlines in this century, and nobody is putting me in a kennel in the hold!  Or worse... making me gate check my carry-on!

#### Gift

* Hmmm... my Plot Device isn't picking up any readings from this, but who knows?  It might still come in handy!

#### Date

* [Dinner] Oh, I played with my food long before I was a cat.  In some cultures it's actually the height of rudeness not to.
* [Boat Ride]  The can say cats and water don't mix all they want, but they also say you can't wear a striped scarf with a polkadot bowtie, and that's one of my go-to sartorial choices!
* [Coaster] This is the most extreme variation of the zoomies I've ever experienced!
* [Carnival] If you wanted to show me thrills and chills, you could have just placed a cucumber on the floor in my peripheral vision!

#### Poke

* Mrow!  I can't believe you assumed I was showing you my belly because I wanted you to pet me!

#### Upgrade to Acquaintance

1. Where are my manners?  I haven't even thanked you for responding to my distress signal!
2. While you may not have been able to prevent this calamity from happening, I'm confident your opposable thumbs will come in HANDY as we clean up the mess I made.

### **Acquaintance**

* My charmingly unorthodox greeting in these situations is usually "Run!" but my, does it ever take on new significance now that I get the zoomies!

#### Talk

* I know a way to pass the time! Let's brainstorm a new whimsical catchphrase that I can shout when I want to showcase my infectious enthusiasm!  What do you think of "GeroniMEOW!"?
* I should count myself lucky.  If I'd been mistakenly turned into a girl instead of an animal, I wouldn't be here with you right now!  Why... I'd be CRUSHED!
* Times like this call for the recitation of my species' oldest and wisest adage: "Don't panic!"
* I thought I was an expert in anti-gravity before, but it turns out moonwalking's got nothing on pussyfooting!  Does gravity even apply to cats?  I must research this matter further!
* Now that I lack thumbs, I'll need you to learn how to use my Screwdriver.  It's a highly complex scientific instrument, so we'll start with the basic principles: namely, "righty tighty, lefty loosey".

#### Gift

* Lovely! Once I find my jacket, I'll keep this in my beloved left pocket.  Which, by the way, is interdimensional - almost limitless space on the inside!  Meanwhile the right one barely fits a mobile...

#### Upgrade to Frenemy

1. You've been a real help.  Normally I would offer you a free trip to anywhere in time and space as a token of my thanks, but... well, you know.
2. So how's about I bring you anywhere in time and space... that's listed on this bus schedule? Do you... er... have change to pay the fare?
3. [With 'Friend' Picture]   Reece spends most of your stroll madly chasing falling blossoms.  **"Usually I act as a tour guide for all my companions, so I'm rather enjoying the role reversal.  And I never could have hunted down these tricky pink fugitives if you hadn't lead me to them!"**

### **Frenemy**

* Oh!  I didn't see you there at first.  I was busy staring at... something.  Over there.  Now that my pupils are humongous, I can see so much more stuff!   It's brilliant!

#### Upgrade to Friendzone

1. Being stranded's not so bad, really, when you're stranded with the right person.
2. No need to gallivanting across the universe to find tomfoolery so long as you and your handsome cursed menagerie are around.

### **Friendzone**

* Do you ever get the sense that your life is being narrated?  I like to imagine mine in the voice of a beloved British TV presenter with a sparkling dry wit.  Ohhh, now I'm thirsty.

#### Talk

* Having whiskers is nothing short of amazing! I swear, their sensitivity to stimuli is beyond even the capabilities of my most advanced data mewcorder--I mean, recorder! Gah! Mew!
* I think your planet may be under attack! I keep spotting these highly suspicious light spheres that dart across walls--in fact, there goes one right now! Stand by, I'll trap it with my paws so we can interrogate it!
* How strange... Normally I love to give passionate lectures about all my many varied special interests, but since crashing here I find myself exclusively speaking in short, pithy quips
* Have you heard of the show Antiquated Aliens? All those episodes, and yet none of them featuring yours truly! Frankly, I'm offended!
* Being an animal has allowed me to gather so much more data for my Dex-Dex! the nuances of etiquette around smelling one another... now there's a discourse I'm eager to get to the BOTTOM of! Hehe! [Note: the "hehe" is pronounced "NyahahaHA"]
* Let's conduct an experiment. First, prepare a slice of toast, strap it butter-side-out to my back, then lift me up high... and drop me! If my theories are correct, we'll have invented antigravity!

#### Upgrade to Awkward Besties

1. You'd make a rather interesting case study for my Dex-Dex. The way blokes in your proximity are all eventually struck by the same affliction...
2. A kiss to break a magical curse? But I'm clearly more of a sci-fi chap! At least I think I am. The precise genre of my origin story is a bit of a question mark.
3. [With 'Kiss' picture] **"If any significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, then it stands to reason your kiss could work on me, too. Only one way to find out!"** Reece squeezes his eyes shut and goes for it. Suddenly, the only fuzziness you feel is his wooly scarf. He's mostly himself again!

### **Awkward Besties**

* Do you hear that? My Plot Device is whistling like a kettle! Which either means your planet is experiencing a large-scale alien invasion, or it's tea time. Ooo, I can't decide which is more exciting!

#### Talk

* By the way, keep an eye out for the Time Cops. They seem to want to arrest me for something I haven't done yet. Which, once I do, I'm SURE will be very minor, justified, and/or in service to the greater good.
* I've got my hands back now, but I must admit, I've grown to enjoy watching you handle my Screwdriver. Wait, why are you snickering?
* My usual methods of earning money all involve time travel, so I suppose now I'll have to find what your species calls "a job". Ah, you seem to have several! Can I have one of yours?
* I've discovered that your permanent residence appears to function as some manner of gravity well for smiling cardboard boxes. I must study this phenomenon! With my butt! By sitting in them all!
* My heart is making such a racket! If I didn't know better, I'd say there were more than one in my chest. But no, it really just picks up that much speed when you're around
* I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my temporal modulator. I could use a second set of eyes and yours are quite captivating--er, clever! So would you take a peek for me? Please?
* No dragons on the loose, no time travel paradoxes, not even an unsettling shadow or statue... and yet I'm having the most fun I've had in ages! In all of space and time, you truly are a special case.
* What shall I call my field guide? "Wacky Creatures and When to Find them"? Or "The Creature Collector's Guide to the Galaxy"? Ah, if only I could pop to the future and see which sells better!

#### Gift

* Ah! An absolutely fascinating artifact if I've ever seen one! How did you know I loved antiques?

#### Date

* [Dinner] I've eaten cheese toasties with Louis XIV and drank wine from the grapes ripened by a red dwarf star, but that perfectly ordinary dinner with you was by far my favorite dining experience.
* [Boat Ride] I can't get over the absurdity of using a swan as a mode of transportation. And you're sure it isn't some manner of timecraft with a faulty Cuttlefish Circuit that caused it to be stuck camoflaged this way?
* [Coaster] I think with the help of my Screwdriver I could increase the acceleration of the cars such that they reach speeds conducive to time travel! Safety restraints? Where we're going, we won't need safety restraints!
* [Carnival] I swear to you, my companion, you were never in any danger. I've defeated far more grisly mechanical clockwork monsters than these before!

#### Poke

* Heehee! Now that, I like. No wait, now I don't like it! I beg your pardon, it would seem I am still part cat in ways beyond the ears and tail.

#### Upgrade to Crush

1. I suppose I could always give you a turn to show me the stars.
2. Your perspective might be a bit more grounded than I'm used to, but by golly, the view is even more spectacular!

### **Crush**

* I keep getting these... urges around you, so I might as well come out with it: I'm a hand-holder. I see someone worth taking on an adventure, I have to dramatically offer them my hand

#### Gift

* Brilliant! I can't wait to take this apart and put it back together again. Is that... is that not what people usually do with gifts?

#### Upgrade to Sweetheart

1. Life has been a little less lonesome since you've been helping me out, but the "assistant" designation doesn't seem quite right anymore. Perhaps a promotion is in order?
2. Brilliant! I was hoping you'd agree! "Companion! is a touch overused, though, so maybe we can test run a "pick your own title" sort of arrangement... I'm anxious-- I mean, eager!--to hear your thoughts

### **Sweetheart**

* I may not be able to show you history firsthand, but we can watch a sappy costume drama! Which is kind of the same thing, except with less mortal danger and more cuddling.

#### Upgrade to Boyfriend

1. You look like you need... a doctor. Oh-ho-ho... To suggest an appropriate course of treatment for your lovesickness, that is!
2. In point of fact, I think I might need one too! Where's the nearest phone box for us to call upon one?

### **Boyfriend**

* For many creatures, courtship requires a strictly defined pattern of behavior. I much prefer the human concept that you can just kiss someone because they're cute! Speaking of which... Mwah!

#### Talk

* Time doesn't fly like an arrow. It flies like a poorly constructed paper airplane, at strange angles and inconsistent speeds, doing loop-de-loops. It's true that fruit flies like a banana, though.
* I must admit, the closer we get to having my Newt-on back in working order, the more I... I don't want to go!
* I hope I'm not being too forward, but I've decided to dedicate my book to you. Never could resist a corny gesture, me... Also, corn. I could never resist corn.
* I thought hearing Mozart play the piano was the sweetest sound in the universe... Now I know it's a can opener!
* Good news! I've finished future-proofing our love! Now all we've got to do is weather-proof it. Trust me, it'll be worth the effort.
* Whenever people find out about my twin livers, they salaciously ask me, "What else do you have two of?" Er, isn't it obvious? Eyes, ears, nostrils, hands, feet?

#### Gift

* Is this what happens when you stick around long enough for people to get to know you? They give you presents you really, really like? Noted!

#### Poke

* Mmm... Persist in your mischief and I may be forced to tie your hands up with my scarf! I do so love a gadget that has several uses...

#### Upgrade to Lover

1. All we have left to do is attach this supposedly plug and play Y-shaped thingamabob, and my Newt-on should be restored to full functionality. I'll be able to resume my mad lad travels across the universe!
2. That's assuming you'll come along, of course. Adventuring just doesn't hold the same appeal for me anymore if I can't have you there as my constant companion and co-pilot.
3. [With 'Transformation' Picture] With the last piece of the Newt-on Installed, all its lights come on with a twinkle. **"By jove, that did it! We did it!"** Reece wraps you up in a celebratory embrace, peppering your entire face with kisses. Sparkles erupt all around you, and this time they're definitely magical. The curse is broken!
4. [With 'Lover' Picture] **"Thank you for teaching this mad-lad traveler the value of savoring every moment. I thought my life's great adventure was somewhere out there in spacetime, but it turns out it was here, with you."** *- Reece*

2. [With 'Sex Scene' Picture] Reece strips you down, his gaze and his hands exploring your body with wonderment. **"I've always wanted to do this, but somehow I never found the time!"** His enthusiasm carries through into his lovemaking; there's no position he isn't keen to try, and his energy is boundless, laser focused on your pleasure.
3. [With NSFW ‘Lover’ Picture] Reece has stamina beyond any human's, and over the course of the night the two of you cum together in ways you're pretty sure haven't been invented yet. **"That was fantastic!"** He laughs with delight as he tosses himself onto the sofa. **"We should do it all over again! To the Newt-on!"**

### **Lover**

* Where to next? I'm thinking... anywhere and everywhen, so long as it's with you.

#### Date

* [Masquerade] My, that was romantic, wasn't it? To don such an intricate disguise... Not as an act of scientfically justified subterfuge, but as a way to delight the sense and inflame the imagination...
* [All others are the same as Awkward Besties]

#### Upgrade to Max Lover

1. I've always fancied myself a scientist, traveling in the noble pursuit of knowledge. But after everything that's happened... I rather think I've been more like a stray cat than anything!
2. Now this cat has grown quite taken with the idea of having a furrever home, and a special someone to always come back to. That's you by the way, in case I'm not being clear. You... are my home

### **Max Lover**

* Ah just the person I was hoping to see! Quickly now, I have to throw my arm around you protectively and point my Screwdriver at an unseen enemy, even though it's not a weapon! I just adore a dramatic pose!
* Sweetie for my sweetie? I've got a never ending bag of jelly babies in one of these pockets, I'm sure...
* There's days I'll merrily cross the universe itself to chase after new Creatures, and then there's days the furthest I'll go is across the street to chase the ice cream van. A lad's got to have layers!
* Why do people always say they love you to the moon and back? Don't they know that's naught but a little jaunt in terms of outer space? Rather like saying you love someone to the corner store and back.. I sure hope you do! Can you pick up milk while you're there?
* Daylight Savings Time is a sham!
* You're so nice, I could travel through time and meet you twice! No, really. Remember that chap who randomly handed you a balloon one year on your birthday? You're looking at him!

* **(Naked)**
* **(Naked)**

#### Talk

* Don't worry about the future, slow down and enjoy the moment. We have all the time in the world, my love, and now that the Newt-on is fixed, I can say that literally!
* Ohhh, I just love you so much, I want to hold you and squeeze you and put you in my Dex-Dex forever!
* It's been confirmed scientifically: the Plot Device says you and I are destined for true love and hijinks until the end of time!
* I'm feeling like a low key sort of evening. What say we only travel back in time two hundred years instead of two thousand?
* A trip to Paris is always romantic, sure. But have you ever been on a date to the opening night of the Eiffel Tower? Would you... like to?
* So I was thinking... You and me, going on a vacation to that parallel cat universe so we can nap whenever we like, wherever we like, for however long we like? I know a great all-inclusive that does unlimited catnip!
* Some travelers never go anywhere without their towel. I'm not going anywhere without my... you!
* I went back in time and got you this... It's a new sonnet by Shakespeare, written just for you. 'Tis true, old Billy owed me a favor and I could think of no better way to redeem it.
* You know? I think this might go down in history as the best ending to a crash landing the multiverse has ever seen!
* You and I are quite the match. I collect Creatures and you collect... well, the hearts of blokes that have turned into creatures!
* Are you sure you don't have a Newt-on of your own? Because every time you look at me time seems to stop.
* Forever is a long time, but when I think about spending it with you, it still doesn't feel like enough
* Sometimes I wish I was still a cat, just so I would be small enough to curl up in your lap. I suppose we could still give it a go, and if I fits, I sits?
* Ooohhhh, you make me all wibbly wobbly feely weely!

#### Gift

* In all of time and space, from the tombs of the great pharaohs to the dazzling alien bazaars of the Diamond Galaxy, I could not hope to find a greater treasure than this.
* This is... Well! It's quite lovely, isn't it? I can't believe it: I'm so touched I'm at a bit of a loss for words! Me!
* Oh, this is brilliant! I can't wait to find out what improbable circumstances it leads us into!
* Hold on, I've got something for you, too! It should be in this pocket...somewhere... Perhaps underneath my spare bicycle and out of print hardcover encyclopedia collection?
* **[Boxers]** Oh, yes, I like this! Very freeing. Lots of room for movement.
* **[Birthday Suit]**
* **[Spooky Outfit]** Now I'm the monster of the week!
* **[Butler Outfit]** Are we attending a murder mystery? I love those. Gives me a chance to show off my... showing off... skills.
* **[Kigurumi Outfit]** All the cute and fuzzy, none of the irresistible urge to wiggle my butt and pounce on things. Okay, a fair amount of the urge to wiggle my butt and pounce on things
* **[Masquerade Outfit]** Fancy a trip to Renaissance Venice? You haven't been to a masquerade ball until you've been to one hosted by Casanova himself. Molto bene!
* **[Summer Outfit]** Come along, we've got a bevy of beaches to explore! I'm sure we'll fit in a little time for sunning ourselves in between tracking down exotic varieties of crustacean Creatures!
* **[RPG Outfit]** What do you mean, my Screwdriver doesn't go with this outfit? What if I call it a "Plus Four Screwdriver" and say it's magic?
* **[Kimono Outfit]**

#### Poke

* Oi! That tickles! And may I remind you, I'm saying that as a bloke who was able to wear a wooly scarf bare-chested!
* Oh, are we doing touching? I love touching! Especially the way you do it.
* It's a tickle fight you're after, is it? Well I should warn you, I have a mustard belt in the ancient art of counteroffensive tickling! Have at you!
* **(Naked)**

#### Upgrade to Lover+

1. How much more, and in how many ways, can I grow to love you?
2. One might as well ask how many stars in the sky? How many grains of sand in a desert? Hold on, I think I've got a machine for that!

### **Dialogue about Cole**

* I'm not afraid of one man, I've fought entire armies and won! ...Oh, he's capable of worse than PG-13 violence? That might be problematic.
* All my bowties have been switched out with hundreds of bolo ties! I guess I wear a bolo tie now. Are bolo ties cool?
* I think I might have a new nemesis. Or perhaps it's just one of my old ones slightly reinvented, again.
* I received a letter today that just said "I hope one of your Creatures eats you." An unorthodox methodology for researching the digestive process, to be sure, but as a scientist I'm certainly game!
* Are we being followed? Ah, perhaps it's just a past version of me attempting to determine the outcome of my love life. Not that I've done that!
* That man's got a face that could stop a clock! Well, it's not his actual face, per se - it's his expression that's dreadfully unpleasant. Don't you think?

## Trivia

* Reece is one big Dr. Who shoutout.
	+ He travels through time and space in a dedicated machine.
	+ Travels with companions.
	+ Has a very technologically-advanced screwdriver.
	+ Has a scarf like the 4th Doctor's.

	+ His mention of phone boxes refers to the TARDIS (the Doctor's spaceship)'s cloaking mechanism, which due to malfunctioning is permanently stuck to looking like a British phone box on the outside.
	+ The Time Cops may be a reference to Torchwood.
* He also references Newt Scamander from *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*.

## Speculation

Reece may be *autistic* or be high functioning on the neurodivergent spectrum due to his dialogue, "I can't tell sarcasm over text without a '/s'..." and his potential hyperfixation on/special interest of time travel and creature collecting, they are his primary focuses of the majority of his conversations.
