Otto Soft/Dialogues

This page lists the dialogue lines for Otto Soft.

 Tara: Do you ask every new resident to play the "meet everyone" game?
Otto: Oh, yes! After all, that idea won me third place in the Icebreaker Innovation category at the Annual Mayoral Convention.
Tara: Congratulations?
 How's your father doing, Tara?
Tara: Dad? Oh, right, you know him. I almost forgot.
 If I were you, I wouldn't linger around Shelby's campsite.
Tara: Why? He doesn't seem dangerous.
 Lina told me that you harvested the potatoes I bought the other day!
Tara: They were my first crop! I hope you make baked potatoes with tons of butter. Those are the best.
 Parker and Lina are wonderful citizens. So industrious! It's a shame their children don't take after them.
Tara: They're just kids. There's still plenty of time.
 It was very kind of you to humor my father. But don't worry. You don't have to waste your time fishing.
Tara: I don't think it's a waste of time!
 Well, hello there Tara. I heard you gave Damon a hand with his new happy hour promotion.
Tara: Yes, I know I'm new here, but it's nice to help small businesses when I can!
 You visited the local, ahem, drinking establishement, I hear?
Tara: You mean… the bar?
Otto: I care about supporting small businesses… But I was hoping this particular small business would close when Damon's parents went back to South Africa.
Tara: It seems like he really loves the bar, though.
 I hope our little group meeting at Town Hall the other day didn't scare you, Tara!
Tara: Little group meeting...?
 My wife Vanessa is an amazing teacher and First Lady of Fairhaven. She's too good for me! Haha, I'm kidding. Why, have you heard anyone say that?

Tara: Thank you.
Otto: I don't think she ever voted for me, but that's not what matters now. You no doubt have a lot on your mind, but I need to yell you that your grandmother left everything to you. The farm, the house, all of her possessions are yours now.
Tara: She did? Thanks for letting me know.
 Enjoying Summer vacation?
Tara: Well, actually this is my busiest time at the farm, so…
 Tara: Mayor Soft, does the new rancher seem a bit… odd to you at all?
Otto: Huh? Odd? No! He's a bit green, but so were you, not long ago, eh, Tara?
Tara: I guess that's a good point.
 Isn't it terrific that a meteorologist with a prestigious grant has chosen to call Fairhaven her home? Ms. Joshi is truly the best addition we've had to the island in a long while!
Tara: Um…
 Have you built a new barn on your property yet? Happily, I vetoed legislation limiting new farm structures. The conservationalists didn't want anyone building too close to the marshlands where birds lay their eggs. But we can't let waterfowl get in the way of progress, now can we?
Tara: Otto: Soft on Business, Hard on Birds.
 Tara: Something wrong, Otto?
 So… what did you think of my speech?
Tara: Um… it was great!
 Tara: Whoa, the air-conditioning is really on full blast in here!
Otto: Yes, well, it's important that I, as the mayor, am able to focus on solving the problems our town faces!
Tara: Do you have a solution for the water shortage yet?
 Outrageous. Truly outrageous! And to think a valuable Fairhaven artifact was taken by these scoundrels!
Tara: What exactly was stolen?
Otto: A rock! But a very significant rock, I'm told. It's quite old, and not from any local quarry. Perhaps our thief is a geologist of some sort...

 I was very… surprised… when I heard Marty had decided to challenge me. And after I fixed up that ranch for him!
Tara: Sorry, who fixed up the ranch?
 Did you know that when I was elected, I became the youngest mayor in Fairhaven history?
Tara: But didn't the only other candidate drop out of the race?
 Things got, er, rather personal at the end of the debate, didn't they? But I would like to go on the record and say that inviting Marty to purchase the ranch was not a sweetheart deal!
 Tara: You look exhausted. Still coming down from your election nerves?
 Maybe soon, we'll understand the force that's been corrupting Fairhaven since I was young.
Tara: But Sophia wasn't here when you were young…
 Tara: Did I just hear your stomach grumble?
 Everyone seems a bit on edge, but it'll all be different once Winter starts and we can move past the unpleasantness. You'll see. After all, I have the mandate of the people!

 I'm quite thrilled that Kim volunteered to organize the Winter Feast this year.
Tara: Oh? What are you and Vanessa making?
 Tara: Do you have any family Winter traditions, Otto?
 I heard you're the one who helped Messenger Cameron set up his soup kettle!
Tara: I sure did. And you're welcome!
 I'm sure someone tampered with the ferry. But we'll get to the bottom of it!
Tara: Or maybe it was just the storm that damaged the Ferry?
Otto: Tara, Tara, Tara. The simplest solution is usually the correct one!
Tara: And that solution is that a witch broke the ferry?
 We can't be surprised that Marty came here to stir up trouble. Just look at his behavior last Fall!
Tara: You mean when he ran against you for mayor?
 Tara: Do you really think it's fair for you to be the one presiding over Marty's trial, since he ran against you?
 Tara: So, do you have anything to say about your part of that land deal with Marty?
 Messenger Cameron is having a hard time believing Giva could be a witch. So sad to see personal bias impacting his impartiality.
Tara: Unlike how impartial you were during Marty's trial.
 Tara: Sooo… about that woman in the woods…
 Does Vanessa seem on edge to you?
Tara: Well, you were meeting a strange lady who's not your wife, so she might not be that happy with you right now.
Otto: Yeah. That's probably it.
