Alpha

* Human
* Hologram

**Alpha** is the twelfth girl unlocked in the game. She is unlocked after having level 25 at the Brooding (Angst) hobby. She is a virtual idol from Japan, but during one of her concerts, you crush the atmosphere with the sheer infectiousness of your angst. That's the way your first meeting goes. Well, it can only get better from here...right?

The requirements listed here are from Steam version 0.48, which changed the requirements from the previous versions.

## Dialogue List

### **First Meeting**

1. One night, while you're out at a concert, you remember how hollow existence is in such a vast material universe.
2. Your unique and special angsty feelings overwhelm the entire audience, killing the vibe and angering the performers.
3. Atmosphere - **CRUSHED!**
4. It appears you've ruined the show. Maybe you should apologize to the performer. Or not. Whatever man. No one understands your feelings.

### **Adversary**

* I just downloaded a poker face. A po-po-poker. Ya ya ya ya!†

† Note: Quote changed from "*You less than thoughtful person! You're lucky it's literally impossible for me to insult a fan!*"

#### Sorry

* You mean old grump! You stormy cloud! You wrecked my show!
* I will never forgive you! You better not even ask me! Don't even bother!
* I sang the happiest songs in my algorithm, and you still made everyone gloomy doomy!

#### Poke

* Don't get too excited. I'm programmed to react like that. I can't feel it.

#### Upgrade to Nuisance

1. Gloomy McGloomface. That's you. You think you can just apologize your way out of this? [Yes]
2. Apology accepted. You're lucky I've been programmed with the patience and forgiveness of a Japanese idol singer - THE MOST FORGIVING CREATURES ON EARTH!

### **Nuisance**

* One advantage of being digital is it's always a nice hair day!

#### Sorry

* This is the first time I've been away from my Handlers. Just so I could tell you how big of a pain you are. Yes, that's how angry I am.
* If anyone is upset I'm here, I'm telling them that it was because you got super chatty and I was politely stuck here.
* I'm going to write the nicest, happiest song ever. And It's going to be about your face. THEN we'll see who's grouchy.
* Gosh, It's weird not being around all the crowds and fans. This is the first time I've gone twenty minutes without someone telling me my schedule.
* If I were you, I would uninstall that Angst subroutine and install a fun and flirty game, or something.

#### Poke

* Don't get too excited. I'm programmed to react like that. I can't feel it.

#### Upgrade to Frenemy

1. According to my diagnostics, we fulfill all the critera of frenemies. Does that correlate with the results you have? [Yes]

#### Gift

* Oh, Thank you. But I don't have any need for material objects. I can't interact with them anyway.

#### Upgrade to Acquaintances

1. I sent you a friend request on all 114 social media channels I update every 4.8 seconds. Feel free to accept 30 or 40 most common ones. [Sure]

### **Acquaintances**

* All these nice things you say... I bet you say them to all the synthetic automatons...

1. I like talking to you. I don't really have many people that just try to chat with me. it's nice. [Oh.]
2. Tee hee! Well, I'm sort of glad now you gloomed your way into my life...

### **Friendzoned**

#### Talk

* If I start glitching all crazy, say, "Alpha! Reboot!" and I shoul-----------
* Sometimes, I like to imagine I can hug the things I see. I would love to know what hugging a tree or a bear feels like...
* I suppose I like Programmers the best of all the hominid occupations. It's hard to love your creators.
* So... What does a solid person do for fun? I'm a hologram, so I can't hit a volleyball or eat a falafel.
* Yesterday, due to an internet glitch, I switched to Canadian English. I was immediately sorry.
* I wrote a song about you. It's called, "Penalty In The Friendzone - Loss Of 15 Yards."

### **Awkward Besties**

* Do songaloids dream of electric beats? The answer is yes.

#### Flirt

* Can anybody... Find me... Somebody to... Loooooooove!
* Hey Dude... Don't make it bad. Take a sad song! And go get her!

#### Gift

* Wonderful! I love this, and not just because it came from you.

#### Upgrade to Sweetheart

1. So, I took all 98.36 million personality tests online, and they all say we're "compatable". Does that mean we... work? Like as... Friends plus plus? [Sure]
2. I guess that's science! Can't argue with results like that!

### **Sweetheart**

* I accidentally copy/pasted my personality matrix into a "smart" toaster. Let me tell you, THAT was a strange afternoon.

#### Flirt

* I hope you don't mind... I hope you don't mind... That I ripped off some words... about how wonderful life is - now that you're in my world...

### **Lover**

* Hey there! I was just practicing some new dance moves. Since they can't be uploaded directly into my brain anymore, I get to learn them from scratch. It's fun!
* Watch this! If I blow air through my hands, it sounds like a fart! Why are bodies so weird?!
* I just ate chocolate! It was incredible! Like a kiss for my soul!
* I got hit in the noggin by a volleyball, because I forgot that I was corporeal. How do you manage to keep track of all these things?
* Man, now that I take showers, my singing sounds even better while I'm in there. I wonder if I can fit a whole concert in there...
* Harder. Stronger. Faster. Better. Wrap me in a techno sweater!
* **(Naked)** Did you know it feels incredible touching your privates? Have you tried it?
* **(Naked)** I accidentally went on stage like this earlier! So many bloody noses...
* **(Naked)** Before my transformation, I wasn't rendered with lady bits. It's been a very educational week for me!

#### **Seduce**

* Umm... Someday, do you think we could try... Cooking the spaghetti? It looks like fun but I don't know how stoves work...
* Oh my stars! I'm real! OMG! I can't believe it! I'm so happy!
* Hold me! Pinch me! Tickle me!
* Hug time! Hug me, and swing me around until I get dizzy. It's awful and amazing at the same time!
* You know, even with all the really big and amazing things out there, your kiss is still my most favourite thing.
* Oh man, I drank all that colorful stuff yesterday, and now my body is in severe discomfort. How fascinating!
* Today I tried singing in the rain, but it was surprisingly damp.
* Hold my hand, and take me places. I'll follow you anywhere.
* You can tell everyone that this is your song. Because it is. It's called, "A Song about <Marshmallow>"!
* I wrote another song about you. It's called, "I Have Organs Now, And They're Hungry."
* I got stung by a bee! Even though it hurt, it hurt in a sort of magnificent way. Life is so extraordinary!
* Hello! I'm happy to see you! And hear you, and smell you too. Having senses is so cool!
* I passed out on stage yesterday. It turns out there's this thing called "sleep" that I'm supposed to do sometimes.
* Look! I have dimples! And a few freckles! My hands are shaking, and there are tears in my eyes!
* Do you want to come to my show later? My managers say you're no longer banned. Just try not to have an existential crises.
* Okay great! I'll get you a VIP pass. You can come hang out backstage!
* So I'm going to be going on tour for a bit soon. Will you.. Will you want to see me when I get back?
* Okay, phew! According to my rom-com memory banks, this matter was supposed to generate a lot more drama and heartache.
* So, are there even more ways our relationship can develop? I'm expecting you to turn stars or rainbows or something.
* Well, no matter what it is, I'll be by your side.
* **(Naked)** Umm... I just noticed there are a lot of girls with very different bodies than mine. I hope you like what you see!
* **(Naked)** Everything feels different when you're naked. Oh! I wonder if things taste differently! To the sushi store!
* **(Naked)** Eee! My private parts look so strange! Can I see yours, for comparison?
* **(Naked)** Ee hee hee! I feel like I'm going to faint! There's so many sensations! Oh my!
* **(Naked)** When you first held my hand, I thought nothing could compare to how amazing that felt. But then, you started touching me elsewhere...
* **(Naked)** My managers are worried about this whole naked thing, since I can't be pixelated anymore. I think they're hiring professional censor sign holders. Eek!
* **(Naked)** And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will always love youuuuuuuuuu!
* **(Naked)** It's so weird being naked... To feel cold on my feet, and hot in my cheeks, and warm... All in between.
* **(Naked)** I'm afraid I don't know many sexy time songs. I wasn't originally programmed for PG-13 content.

#### **Poke**

* Eek! You surprised me! You're tricky and ridiculous. You're tridiculous!
* Ah ha ha! I love it when you tickle me! I feel like I could be tickled by you forever, though I'd probably eventually pass out.
* Ahh ha! Oh man, why are there tears coming from my eyes? Does tickling make me sad now?
* **(Naked)** Oh! Did you mean to caress my nipples like that?! Oooh! I have shivers now!
* **(Naked)** I feel like I'm going to pass out! It's all too much! Eeek!
* **(Naked)** \*gasp\* I love you, you ridiculous creature.
* **(Naked)** Tee hee hee! That feels so different without clothes on! I like it!

#### **Gift**

* I'm not going to lie - tearing off the paper is half the fun of these gifts. Prrrrrk! Ha ha ha! I love it!
* Oh geez... How can I accept such a wonderful gift? Thank you. From the bottom of my GPU. Thank you.
* Now that I can touch things, I love these things ever more. I didn't even know some of it was for eating!
* Wow, some of these gifts smell really nice. The roses and new cars are surprisingly good smelling. Can you get a bouquet of new cars?
* **[School Uniform]** This is adorable! It reminds me of the music video I made for my new song, "Teenage Dreamboat".
* **[Bathing Suit]** Oh my! I didn't realize how chilly bikinis were until I actually had skin. Brr! Let's head back to the beach!
* **[Diamond Ring]** Oh my gosh! Like! Comment! Subscribe! I can't even process how happy I am!
* **[Lingerie]** Do you find me sexy? Sometimes I'm not sure what to do with my hands when I'm standing still...
* **[Birthday Suit]** When you first held my hand, I thought nothing could compare to how amazing that felt. But then, you started touching me elsewhere...
* **[Holiday Outfit]** Tee hee! Do you like my jammies? I've got a secret for you... I'm not wearing anything underneath. \*giggle\*

2. Later she speaks a mile a minute, her body pink, her eyes sparkling. "There was this spot you found inside," she giggles, "it felt like... I died. From pleasure. I felt like I forgot my name. Can we do this ALL the time??"

### **Date**

* **[Moonlight Stroll]** This was a triumph. I'm making a note here - Huuuge success!

* My handlers told me that I received some poisoned chocolates. I wonder if by accident?
