Dearest Friend, Four Feet Off the Ground is an exploration that can be started by talking to Ault in Blazewood.
It becomes available after having completed Tour de Inferno (B).
Pre-Commission Dialogue[]
- (Talk to Ault)
- Ault: What the heck is this?! We agreed on Fantasy BBQ!
Huh?
- Ault: I traveled all the way to Blazewood for some Outer Ring specialty barbecue! So why is the only restaurant in town just serving cheese?!
- Ault: Sleip would go berserk and smash the store apart if he found out!
- Who's Sleip?
- Sleip? Wow.
- Ault: Sleip is my friend who traveled to the Outer Ring with me. He had to take the long route because he couldn't use the elevator. He should be arriving soon... Ah! I hear his voice! [Verification needed for when (Sleip? Wow.) is selected]
- Before he can finish speaking, rumbling mixed with a roar comes from afar—Where's the barbecue?! A black sports car leaves a trail of dust and dirt behind as it zooms into Blazewood and goes straight toward Ault, almost sending him flying into the store.[VVerification needed for when (Sleip? Wow.) is selected]
- "Stop! Just stop! Sleip! I'll return the 500 Dennies I owe you!" Ault screams in panic, and the race car finally comes to a stop.[Verification needed for (Sleip? Wow.) is selected]
- Ignore him
Dialogue[]
- (Talk to Ault and Sleip)
- Sleip: What the heck is this?! We agreed on Fantasy BBQ!
- Ault: That's what I just said, Sleip.
- Wait! Is the car speaking?
- Wait a minute... There's no one in the car?
- Ault: I knew it! This is how everyone reacts to him. So, Sleip is...
- Sleip: The body is but a shell, and the heart is where the essence lies! I'm Sleip the Intelligent Construct!
- Ault: He's Sleip, though he's not just a car, he's an Intelligent Construct in the form of a car. Talk about having great taste, right?
- Sleip: (HeHe /
SheShe) is not lacking in intelligence. It was unnecessary for you to echo my words. - Why are you talking so weird...
- What are you talking about?
- Ault: I've been obsessed with fantasy shows from the old civilization lately, so I downloaded the Champion of the Sword voice pack. What do you think? It's awesome, huh?
- Ault: I wish you would revert back to your old voice pack—Monica Awaits. At least it sounded nicer... This heroic male voice pack is really... Hey! This isn't the time for that! Barbecue! Our barbecue plans are ruined!
- Sleip: Alas! After journeying far and wide, Fantasy BBQ is a thing of the past! Swinging my sword... is meaningless now.
- Ault: I have an idea.
- Sleip: You've gained enlightenment?
- Ault: Let's go after the Golden Peregrine.
- Sleip: Brilliant! Brilliant indeed!
- What the heck is this conversation?!
- What the heck are you two talking about?
- Ault: Hey! Fantasy BBQ was always a secondary objective! Our primary objective in the Outer Ring is to go after the Golden Peregrine! The Golden Peregrine is a golden sports car with unmatched speed that is zooming aimlessly through the Outer Ring!
- Ault: Based on the information I gathered from the residents of Blazewood, the Golden Peregrine is no legend! A guy with white hair that covered the eyes and seemed like the mayor confidently proclaimed that the Golden Peregrine was within a nearby Hollow!
- You actually believe Grandpa Demir?
- Grandpa Demir is very reliable!
- Ault: Anyway, we're catching that car and taking its Golden Engine for Sleip... It's the only way to realize our dream! We'll be the fastest racer and race car duo in the world!
- Sleip: Indeed! As our forefathers say, a youth without pursuing dreams is a wasted youth.
- Ault: If we were racing on level ground, we'd have at least a 50/50 shot, but in the Hollow... who knows? We're not really familiar with it to begin with, and even with the best Hollow Raider on our side, we might still have to go through a dozen failures before getting a chance at success...
- Sleip: Of course! As our forefathers say, a youth without failure is a wasted youth.
- Ault: These forefathers of yours are from the Inter-Knot, right?!
- Sleip: Ah, how wise you are! I have posted a call for heroes on the Inter-Knot, and many seek to lend their aid! A mere Golden Peregrine is easy prey before us heroes!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I bet it's really lively over there... Let's take a look at the Inter-Knot.)
- (Check the Inter-Knot Post titled "[Recruiting] Urgently looking for...")
- After checking the Inter-Knot Post, start HDD Commission - Dearest Friend, Four Feet Off the Ground (HDD)
- (Talk to Sleip on Sixth Street)
- Ault: I remember you! We met in Blazewood! What a coincidence! Do you live on this street?
- Ault: Fate is a wondrous thing.
- Did you manage to catch the Golden Peregrine?
- Ault: Of course! I just installed the Golden Engine in Sleip! How are you feeling, Sleip?
- Have you found the Golden Engine?
- Ault: Of course! We just finished the installation! How are you feeling, Sleip?
- Sleip: Oho! This is it! I feel so full of...
- Strength?
- Sleip: The stench of oil and smoke. It's all over the hood, the seats, and even the trunk! Did the bearded warrior sprinkle some cigarette ashes in me?!
- Ault: No, you're just imagining it. I was watching from start to finish. Though it's not surprising you don't feel any different. According to Enzo, the engine has been in the Hollow for far too long, and was covered in a layer of unstable Ether. It'll probably require quite a bit of running and adjustment before you can unleash its true potential.
- Sleip: Indeed, the bearded warrior did mention that the adjustment is as important as raising a child. So, I requested the installation of a video playback device that plays in a loop to surround the child with the right influence.
- Ault: Raising a child... That's a great idea! Playing videos while going for a spin will definitely speed up the rate you and the engine adjust to each other! It'll help us raise the greatest engine that only belongs to us! Hehe!
- Ault: That reminds me! I saw a video store next door. I wonder if they have any racing movies...
- Well, there's Family.
- Ault: That works! I love that movie! The male lead's great at driving, and the female lead is gorgeous! I love it...
- Sleip: No, we're watching Champion of the Sword.
- Ault: Huh?
- Sleip: Are all 59 episodes of Champion of the Sword available at the video store? I intend to play them on a loop to instill the spirit of a true warrior into the engine!
- Ault: Are you insane? I'm not watching that! Ugh, I mean all 59 episodes are about men fighting each other. How could we expose an innocent child to such things?
- Sleip: You're right, my friend... But I must insist on Champion of the Sword!
- Ault: Ugh, if you're insisting, then I... I insist on Family!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to witness the Golden Engine's true potential, but right now... I should quit wasting time on their argument.)
- (Talk to Ault and Sleip again)
- Ault: Phew... "Family"
- Sleip: Huff... Champion of the Sword!
- Ault: You don't even have lungs to huff! Anyway... Don't you aspire to release a golden blast with a bang just like the Golden Peregrine did?
- Sleip: Then I think... I would prefer eating Fantasy BBQ.
- Ault: Stop having unrealistic thoughts. We would have already had some if it existed! We wouldn't even be circling the Outer Ring right now! But... I really want some too!
- Sleip: Why don't we search for a while longer?
- Ault: Fine, let's go to the Outer Ring! I'm sure we'll find it this time! It's called Fantasy BBQ after all, so I doubt it's that easy to find!
- Sleip: Of course! As our forefathers say, a youth without a barbecue is a wasted youth.
- Ault: Let's go, Sleip! We're having a barbecue!
- (The youth reaches out and pats the hood of the other youth, and in just the blink of an eye, the Champion of the Sword is completely forgotten.)
Notes[]
- Despite one of the steps saying "Check the Inter-Knot Post titled "[Recruiting] Urgently looking for...", the Inter-Knot Post that comes up is actually called "(Commission) (Recruitment) Need for Speed!.
