Idle Quotes[]

Kylie, at the entrance of the HIA Club: Kylie: We've added new VR levels! Give them a try!; Kylie: Achieve high scores on the levels to win exclusive HIA souvenirs!; Kylie: Mini Cargo Truck models and replica Investigator jackets are waiting for you!

Murray, near the HIA Mini Cargo Truck Model: Murray: We've used 20 pairs of special lenses for VR devices this month...; Murray: And 32 sets of special screws this month...; Murray: Has Kiki actually been munching on those screws like UFO Chips?

Leona and Tully, opposite to Lyla: Leona: Hey, how did I end up as an "external staff member"?; Tully: En-nah-ehn... Ehn-ne! (Miss Lyla has been busy these days... Please lend us a hand, Miss Leona!); Leona: Alright, fine... I just can't resist those Bangboo puppy eyes...

Kim, at the entrance of the VR area: Kim: Can we make sure people actually read instructions properly before starting their VR experience?; Kim: There are always those people who think this is some arcade where you can just show up and munch on snacks and chill with your friends on weekends.

Arken, near the HIA Mini Cargo Truck Model: Arken: I need some exciting news...; Arken: Where can I find some juicy news that everyone will talk about...?

Kiki, near the exit of the VR area: Kiki: Why isn't this level working again? Master already went over this glitch twice...; Kiki: Will I get scolded if I ask again...? Or maybe I should ask Jo instead...?

Dialogue[]

Interaction With Lyla: Lyla: Hey there, welcome to the HIA Career Club. if you're looking to test your mettle in the Expert Challenge, please register here.; I want to try the Expert Challenge.; Thanks, I'll come back later

After finishing Combat during midnight: This new VR system is insane, making me totally lose track of time. Good thing the club has overnight rooms. I'll crash here tonight.; Hopefully, we won't be woken up be the people downstairs still immersed in playing VR; The club's service is awesome. They even serve breakfast!

Morning[]

Interaction with Sybil and Tully in the Morning (6AM)
(Talk to Sybil): Sybil: Help me find an available VR device, Tully.; Sybil: It's been a while since we had any impressive participants... I'd rather train myself than wasting time waiting for someone to show up!; Tully: Ehn-ne. (No way.); Sybil: Why?! That's a reasonable request from a business partner!; Tully: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ehn-ne-ehn-ne. (Lyla says you were sleeping in the VR device.); Tully: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne. (You'll catch a cold.); Sybil: Come on, I didn't sleep in there! Oh, wait... Lyla actually cares about me? And I...; Tully: Nha-nuh-nhu-ne, en-nah-ehn... (Last time you called in sick after you left the club...); Tully: En-nah-ehn! En-nah! (Your team lead filed a complaint against Lyla in the feedback!)

Interaction with Kim and Tyrone in the Morning (6AM)
(Talk to Tyrone): Tyrone: I really want to be on the frontlines or at Scott Outpost...; Tyrone: I don't want to be stuck here, checking VR devices all day...; Kim: Careful... You were complaining pretty loudly, and I think Lyla just shot you a look.; Kim: The good news is that she might consider transferring you, knowing how badly you want to be on the frontlines.; Tyrone: Really!?; Kim: Well, the bad news is that you never know what Lyla's thinking.; Kim: So, she might think you're looking down on her career club. In that case...; Tyrone: Noooo! Is it too late to explain myself?

Interaction with Leona in the Morning (6AM)
(Talk to Leona): Leona: Hey, I remember you. You're the manager of Random Play.; Leona: How are the new levels? Sybil says you're unstoppable.; I'm flattered.; Leona: Hahaha, no need to be nervous.; Leona: I'll let you in on a secret. I was the one who extracted the monster data from the Hollow for the new levels.; You're a Hollow investigator?; Leona: I WAS a Hollow investigator, to be precise... But hey, let's just enjoy the VR!; Leona: I hope nobody ever has to experience a real Hollow... including you, manager.

Interaction with Arken and Old Investigator in the Morning (6AM)
(Idle): Old Investigator: I don't understand why there's a need for the "retirement ceremony"!; Arken: Sir, please...

(Talk to Arken): Arken: *sigh*...Do you still not want to attend the onboarding meeting for the new investigators?
We were hoping to combine that with your retirement ceremony...; Old Investigator: No, no, no! Don't make me go through something like that! It's embarrassing.; (Arken looks troubled again); (This old man looks familiar); Arken: But the new investigators could really use the wisdom and guidance from someone experienced like you!; Old Investigator: Well, instead of having them sit around listen to some outdated theories... why not take them to the Hollows to mine some Ether crystal stalagmites?; Old Investigator: How can they truly understand what it means to be an investigator if they haven't touched the foundation of the city themselves?; Old Investigator: I've even come up with a name for the event — The Foundation of Everything!
What do you think? Sounds super cool, right?; Arken: Well, if you insist...; (He keeps talking about the Ether crystal stalagmites, but...); (He and his comrades were the real foundation of New Eridu.)

Interaction with Kiki (6AM)
(Talk to Kiki): Kiki: For certain overly excited players... I reckon we should charge them for device maintenance.; Kiki: Or at least we should have some security checks, like banning metal inside the device!; What's happening?; Did someone damage the devices?; Kiki: I just got a report about scratches on the floor inside 06.; Kiki: So I went to check it out, and it looked like some super-hyped player had been kicking and stomping around...; Kiki: They must've worn spiked shoes or something to cause that much damage!; Kiki: I wonder if the Ethereals in the game got scared off by their intensity.

Interaction with "Easy-Going Female Student" during Chapter 1
(Talk to Easy-going Female Student): Easy-Going Female Student: I really don't get why you guys are getting so excited about a VR game.; Easy-Going Female Student: Aren't all the enemies just fake?; Well they could hardly be real...; Easy-Going Female Student: ...True. I guess fake ones are safer, so I'll give it a try too.

Interaction with "Excited Young Man" during Chapter 1
(Talk to Excited Young Man): Excited Young Man: Hey, judging by that relaxed demeanor, I'm guessing it's your first time here? Just letting you know, it's best to grab a coffee before getting on the machine.; I've had one.; Excited Young Man: Oh? So you're a pro then? ...Doesn't matter. I'll still win!

Interaction with "Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness" during Chapter 1
(Talk to Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness): Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: Are you planning to take on that super cool cloaked monster too?; What cloaked monster?; Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: You'll know it when you see it! Come find me if you wanna learn a high-score strategy.

Afternoon[]

Interaction with Arken: Arken: "New Eridu Citizens Review the City's Past..."; Arken: "Hollow Era Sales Skyrocketed by 300% This Month!"; Arken: What do you think of this headline?; That's incredible!

I'm having trouble following...; Impressed Boy: Look, the official HIA account posted a congratulatory message...; Impressed Boy: "Congratulations to players '101****318', '375****990', and '150****251' on being the first to clear Floor 10000 of the 'Simulated Battle Trial'!"; Impressed Boy: And word has it that one of them cleared it using just one hand...; Shocked Boy: ...Wow, how long would that take!!; Shocked Boy: With this kind of determination and skill, you could even become a Void Hunter if you wanted to...; Shocked Boy: Right, that explains why HIA had that emergency update to expand the display digits for the "Simulated Battle Trial" badges.; Impressed Boy: So, that time was just trying to display these players' super long trial records in full?; Impressed Boy: How did you even notice such a tiny change?; Shocked Boy: ...because I only cleared 1 floor.; Shocked Boy: After the update, my "1" looked kinda... way too lonely in there.

Evening[]

Interaction with Kylie in the Evening (6PM)
(Talk to Kylie): Kylie: The video store manager on Sixth Street? I knew you'd love our VR experience!; Yeah, it's fun.; Kylie: Yeah, it's super fun, right?!; Of course... What happened?; Kylie: Oh, nothing! It's just... I hear complaints every now and then.; Kylie: "They've even turned Hollow explorations into games! This world has gone crazy!"; Kylie: But isn't it enough that everyone thinks our VR experience is fun?

Interaction with Jo and Tully
(Talk to Tully): Tully: Ehn-na! En-nah-ehn! (We've received the customer satisfaction report!); Jo: How could anyone have a problem with me?; Tully: Ehn-na... Nha-nah nhu-ne. (The complaint says... all you do is tell the customer to reboot the device and try again.); Jo: Is that the only one? Well... maybe we should do something about it?; Jo: Help me bury it in the pile of complaints about the receptionists being unfriendly.; Jo: That way, Lyla definitely won't see it.; Tully: En-nah-ehn? (Why would I help you?); Jo: I'll take the seat closest to Lyla for you at the next meeting!; Tully: Ehn-na! (Deal!)

Interaction with Kim
(Talk to Kim): Kim: What makes them think they can just grab the nearest person and ask for a "walkthrough"...?; Looks like they were giving you a headache too, Kim.; Kim: Yeah, and they can be really rude, you know?; Rude? How so?; Kim: When I refused to give them a "walkthrough" and was about to explain that, in real life, investigators don't have walkthroughs in Hollows...; Kim: Then the kid started yelling that he's a big fan of many popular games.; Kim: He even tried to lecture me, saying something like, "Didn't you claim this is some high quality game? You gotta pay attention to the players' experience."; Kim: Since when did I become a customer service rep for a game...?

Interaction with Agate
(Talk to Agate): Agate: Now I'm suspecting that the portable VR device from the Association is a trap.; How do you mean?; Isn't it all free?; Agate: It's just a trap to lure us into the club!; Agate: I mean, who would want to play VR at home all alone...?; Agate: My scores wouldn't even get uploaded to the leaderboards... and no one would see my awesome moves!; Maybe some people enjoy figuring things out on their own.; Maybe some people enjoy playing games on their own.; Agate: You know, there's only one type of person who plays VR at home alone...; Agate: It's the scheming type of person...; Agate: They practice hard at home, then show up at the club and steal everyone's thunder!

Interaction with Sybil
(Talk to Sybil): Sybil: Have you tried the "Simulated Battle Trial" yet? How was it?; Not bad.; Really easy.; Sybil: I've received quite a few experience reports recently — I'm still organizing everyone's feedback.; Sybil: It's quite a task...; Anything special about it?; Sybil: Hmm... yeah, there is.; Sybil: Look, Report #4299 — this was submitted by a former colleague of mine.; Sybil: He was the most outstanding investigator in my class. Our combat instructor once remarked: "Looking at his combat records, I sometimes feel sorry for the Ethereals he toys with."; Sybil: But one time, we encountered way more Ethereals than our intel had estimated, and he insisted on staying behind to cover everyone's retreat...; Sybil: After that incident, although he survived, the only part of his body he could move freely was his left foot.; Sybil: I urged him to get some rest, but he said "Even if I can't enter the Hollows anymore... with my incredibly sharp mind, I can still fight Ethereals in VR and help you find their weaknesses!"; Sybil: This guy, I swear...; Sybil: If everyone was like him, my overtime would never end!; Sybil, you may complain...; ...But you're welling up.; Sybil: ...Well, gotta run, I've still got a pile of user feedback reports to go through!
