Dialogue[]
Talk to the Securityboo who is seeking a new job[]
- (Idle)
- KK: Ehn-nhe! (I can't do this any more!)
- (Talk to KK)
- KK: En-nah-nu! (Gosh! That cat scratched my eyes again!)
Hello?- Can I help with anything?
- KK: En-nah? Ehn-na-nah-nu... (Greetings, good citizen. I'm Securityboo No. 7406. Please feel free to call me "KK"! How can I assist...)
- KK: Ehn-na, nu-na-nhu? (Oh, Officer Mewmew sent you here to help me find a new job?)
- KK: En-nah-ehn... Nu-na-nu-na! (Seriously... I can't stand this job anymore!)
- I'm all ears
- Care to tell me more about it?
- KK: En-nah-ehn... (Isn't it unfair that my responsibilities were predetermined the very moment I was created, just because I'm a special model...?)
- KK: En-nah-ehn! Na-ehn! (I'm sick and tired of being a Securityboo, dealing with petty neighborhood issues all day long!)
- KK: Ehn... ehn-na-en-nah... (When I was dealing with a traffic accident yesterday, an angry driver kicked me in the butt, and I still have those shoe prints back there...)
- KK: En-nah-ehn! (Just now, when I climbed up the tree to save a cat, that pesky cat scratched my lens and ruined my freshly painted case!)
- KK: Nhe-nu! Uhn-nah-nu! (And don't even get me started on kids throwing things at me while on patrol, or dealing with line-cutters, or getting shoved around by troublemakers! The officers get all the glory and medals while us Bangboo do all the grunt work!)
- Sounds like a really stressful job...
- So, you're considering a career change?
- KK: En-nhu, en-nah... (Yeah, if I keep being a Securityboo, sooner or later my AI core will go haywire.)
- KK: Ne-ne, eha-nu-nu... (That's why I've made up my mind to find a way out... Once I get myself a new job, I'm handing in my resignation letter...)
- KK: En-nah-ehn... (Officer Mewmew mentioned a Bangboo employment expert, who runs a video store and has a wide range of connections in all industries. That must be you, right?)
- KK: Eha-nu-nu, ehn-ne... (Truth is, I barely know anything about other industries. That's why I was hoping you could help me out by giving me a referral for a new job...)
- KK: Nha-nuh! Nhu-ne! (Officer Mewmew has contacted two store managers at Lumina Square, and I can go there for an interview whenever I'm ready!)
- KK: Ehn-nah (Please and thank you!)
Accompany KK as he applies for a job at Dew Gardening Shop[]
- (Idle)
- Hesitant Customer: What should I buy here...
- Orchidea: The roses this month are absolutely stunning. They'd make the perfect gift.
- (Talk to Orchidea)
- Orchidea: Hello, little one. You must be KK, the one Mewmew mentioned. Looking for work, right?
- Orchidea: Just picturing a tiny KK bustling among the bouquets is pretty cute.
- Orchidea: But running a flower shop takes more than just looking cute.
- KK: Ehn-na, ehn-nene! (I'm ready!)
- KK is ready!
- Orchidea: Why don't you try recommend some seasonal flowers to this potential customer over here?
- KK: Ehn... Ehn-na... (Actually... I haven't had the chance to download any horticultural data yet...)
- Orchidea: That's okay. Caring and communicating with customers is as important as understanding and nurturing plants.
- Orchidea: Why not rely on your own experience and help this hesitant customer make up his mind?
- KK: Ehn-na! Ehn-na-na... (Detective work is my strong suit! Let me see, the suspect... no, I mean the customer's style and vibe...)
- KK: Ehn-na-na! (I've got it! Hello, dear customer!)
- Hesitant Customer: Uh, hello. Do you have any flower recommendations?
- KK: Ehn-na, ehn-na-ehn! (First, may I ask, what's the purpose of your purchase?)
- Hesitant Customer: Um... it's for someone important to me...
- KK: Ehn-na, Ehn-na-na? (Oh? Are they a gentleman or a lady?)
- Hesitant Customer: I-It's for a lady...
- KK: Ehn-na-na~ Ehn-na-na! (Hmph, I knew it~ Look at you, you can barely take care of yourself, let alone flowers.)
- Hesitant Customer: Wh-What, how could you talk to a customer like that? And do I really look that bad?
- KK: Ehn-na-ehn, ehn-na! (It's for a girl you like at school, isn't it? Kids nowadays, you're all the same.)
- Hesitant Customer: It's my mom's birthday, and I'm here to buy her some flowers!
- Hesitant Customer: Manager? I want to speak with your manager! I'm gonna file a complaint!
- Orchidea goes to great lengths to explain the situation to the customer... and offers a bouquet as an apology.
- Orchidea: Lesson learned... I can't have trainees work with customers directly anymore.
- Orchidea: Forget about the cost of the bouquet, what you did could have really damaged Dew Gardening's reputation. And you... you referred KK, didn't you?
- KK: Ehn-na-na... (I'm really sorry...)
- My apologies...
- We will make it up to you...
- Orchidea: ...It's fine, the interview was my idea. But, I'm sorry, I cannot hire this Bangboo.
- Securityboo KK's first attempt at the job market has been declared a failure...
- KK: Ehn-na-ehn-na... (I unconsciously used interrogation techniques just now...)
- KK: Ehn-na-ehn...(I do have some understanding of "friendly communication with citizens," but because of my personality, those tasks are usually handled by my human partner...)
- I can tell you have a lot of personality.
- Your communication skills could really use some work.
- Don't give up, let's keep looking!
Accompany KK as he applies for a job at Old Duyi's Physiotherapy Studio[]
- (Idle)
- Old Duyi: It should be almost time?
- (Talk to Old Duyi)
- Old Duyi: Speak of the Bangboo. I've been waiting for you.
- Old Duyi: This little guy must be the Bangboo for the interview today, right? Officer Mewmew says you're quite a talented Securityboo.
- KK: Ehe-nu-na? Ehn-na... (Officer Mewmew said that? Ahem... that's quite a compliment...)
- Old Duyi: We've been short-staffed lately, and I happen to be in need of an apprentice masseur. I was wondering if you would be interested?
- KK: Nhu-na, en-nah-ehn! (It's not what I was expecting, but I'd like to give it a shot!)
- I can do it!
- Old Duyi: Heh, this little guy has so much energy. Reminds me of my younger days when I was an apprentice masseur myself...
- Old Duyi: Listen up, I've got one important requirement: talent. My master always said talent was crucial when it came to learning the "72 Arts of Massage."
- Old Duyi: Alright, little guy, I'll show you a few moves, and then you can give it a try on me!
- KK: Nhu-na? En-nah-ehn... (Are you sure? Please prepare yourself, everyone says I've got some really strong hands...)
- Old Duyi: No worries! My shell is built with industrial-class hardness!
- Old Duyi's hands, or to be more precise, his six hands wave in the air, striking a few fancy poses.
KK follows along, leaving a few noticeable dents on Old Duyi's shell. - Old Duyi: You've got some serious strength in those hands, little guy... That Public Security's power module really packs a punch...
- Old Duyi: Thinking about being protected by such a powerful Securityboo, it warms my AI core and makes me forget the pain... Haha... ha...
- KK: Ehn-na... nhu-na... (I'm sorry... I guess my 18 Grappling Arts of the Law reflex kicked in, and I didn't expect it to work so differently from your massage techniques... Haha...)
- Talk about an officer's habits.
- This is definitely unexpected.
- Haha... Ha...
- Old Duyi: Well, no worries... just a few dents. My ultra-high-strength metal shell can handle it just fine...
- Old Duyi: But if it were a customer, well... maybe they wouldn't have survived...
- KK: Nhu-na... (I'm sorry, Mr. Duyi... I guess I understand how this interview is going to turn out...)
- Old Duyi: Don't let it get you down, little guy. If you change your power unit and hand components, you might still have a chance!
- Old Duyi: And I have to say, your "18 Grappling Arts of the Law" was pretty impressive...
Discuss the next plan with KK[]
- (Idle)
- KK: Nu-en, nu-en! (I don't wanna give up...)
- (Talk to KK)
- KK: Ehn-na, na-na-nu... (In your opinion, do I really have any other talents other than being a Securityboo?)
- There are many other jobs out there.
- Being skilled at one thing is already great enough.
- KK: Ehn-na... (You're right. Perhaps I just don't have a talent for service industry. So, maybe I shouldn't limit my job search to Lumina Square...)
- KK: Nhu-en-na, en-nah? (Where else can I find a job that's more technical and doesn't have to interact with customers directly?)
- I've got an idea...
- Ever thought about working at a construction site?
- KK: Ehn-ne nah-nu? (Construction site? Belobog Industries? That's a famous company, right? I had no idea you had connections like that! You must be a master at networking...)
- KK: En-nah-nah! (Actions lead to success! Let's get going now!)
- KK: Nhu-na, ehn-na! (I'll be there as soon as I finish up here. See you at the site!)
Meet up with KK at the Brant Street Construction Site[]
- (Idle)
- Li: What are we gonna do now?
- (Talk to Li)
- Li: You're right on time, dear manager! If I remember correctly, you know a lot about Bangboo technology, right?
- Am I really that famous?
- Yeah, I'd say I'm a bit of an expert!
- Li: No time to explain now. It's an urgent matter involving a Bangboo's life! Please go up and check it out!
- What's so urgent?
- Where should I go?
- Li: Up there, the mid-way platform at the construction site. A Builderboo with a fear of heights passed out up there! Please, go up and check it out!
- Don't you have a Bangboo mechanic around here?
- Li: The Bangboo mechanic... To be honest, it's me.
- Seriously? Nobody knows how to fix a Bangboo here?
- Li: I think... I'm the only one here who can fix Bangboo.
- (Both choices lead to the following)
- Why don't you go up there then?
- Then why are you still here?
- Li: Well... because I'm afraid of heights, too. If I go up there and pass out too, things will get pretty messy...
- Li: Some of my colleagues have already gone up to check on that Bangboo! Could you please go there and see what's going on?
Head to the high platform to repair the faulty Bangboo[]
- (Idle)
- Foreman Thomas: How's it looking?
- Safety: Ehn-nhe! (Wake up, bro!)
- KK: Nu-enh, nhe nah! (Hang in there...)
- (Interact with Damaged Bangboo)
- KK: En-nah, en-nah-ehn! (There you are, manager! Something is not good with this Bangboo. I did a quick check, and it seems to be due to a flaw in the outdated space-awareness algorithm...)
- KK: ...En-nah-ehn! Nu-nah? (...Its stress reaction triggered a power failure in certain modules, which in return caused a system failure. What do you think, manager?)
- Foreman Thomas: I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but it doesn't sound good. Any ideas, manager?
- Safety: Ehn-na... Nha-nah! (Bro... Wake up, bro!)
- KK: Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne-nah-nu... (I've applied a simple physical block, but without further intervention, prolonged power-off could cause permanent damage to its storage unit...)
- Safety: Ehn-ne? Nu-na nhu! (W-what? Don't forget about me, bro!)
- Leave it to me!
- Here comes the Bangboo Savior!
- (Repair the Bangboo)
- Malfunctioning Bangboo: Na-ehn? En-nah-ehn... (What happened? I was up there, and then I blanked out...)
- KK: Ehn-na, ehn-nu-na. (You passed out because of heights, but we managed to get there in time and saved you.)
- Malfunctioning Bangboo: Ehn-na! Nu-nah... En-nah! (Oh, it's coming back to me now! Thank you, kind-hearted manager, and handsome Securityboo!)
- Why "handsome" for KK...
- And "kind-hearted" for me?
- KK: Ena... nhu-na! (L-let's just head down before it shuts down again!)
Leave the platform and talk to the workers waiting below[]
- (Talk to KK)
- Foreman Thomas: Thanks for helping me today.
- Safety: Ehn-ne, nah-nu-ehn... (If it weren't for that Securityboo and the store manager showing up in time, my bro would've been...)
- Li: That Securityboo is seriously dependable. Not only does he know his way around the complex Bangboo modules, but he also handles emergencies like a pro. He's a real asset to Public Security, don't you think? And, of course, you're awesome too! You're skilled in almost everything.
- KK: En-nah-ehn! Nah-na... (It's our duty to protect the lives and property of our citizens! That's right, it's our duty...)
- Safety: Ehn-na, ehn! (We, the Bangboo team, will make safety our top priority in the future too!)
- Foreman Thomas: Oh, by the way, what brought you here in the first place?
- (You explain to everyone that KK is looking for a new job...)
- Foreman Thomas: I see. KK's technical expertise has impressed Li, and his stress tolerance is even more impressive... What do you say, Li?
- Li: Actually, we're in need of a technical assistant here, and finding a Bangboo as skilled as KK is like finding a rare gem. We'd be lucky to have KK join our team!
- Foreman Thomas: Fantastic! You're more than welcome to be part of our crew, KK...
- KK: Ehn-na, nu-na-nhu... (Thank you very much for the offer, but... I'm a bit hesitant now. I might need some time to think it through...)
- Having second thoughts, KK?
- Foreman Thomas: Alright... I get it. Career decisions require careful consideration, but if you ever change your mind, remember that you're always welcome here.
- Safety: En-nah! (Thanks again, both of you!)
- KK: Ehn-na, en-nah! (Thank you for your help, dear manager! See you at Lumina Square!)
Go back to Lumina Square and talk to KK[]
- (Travel to Lumina Square)
- KK: Ehn-na, nhu-na... (Thank you so much for today, dear manager. It's just... in the end, I don't feel like letting go of my security officer uniform...)
- I'm glad you've thought it through.
- This little Bangboo has got some big worries.
- KK: Ehn-ne-ne, nhu-na... (Officer Mewmew would say, "You don't want to leave your dearest Officer Mewmew, right?" But honestly, I can't really explain why I've decided to stay...)
- KK: Nha-nuh nhu-ne... (Maybe I do have loads of reasons to stick around, or maybe I just feel bad leaving Public Security with all my excellent skills and stuff...)
- KK: Nhu-na ehn-na-nu... (As a security officer, I can handle pretty much anything that comes my way. But if I leave, there'll be so many things I have no clues about...)
- Your interrogation skills are impressive.
- Your grappling skills are incredible.
- Your first-aid skills are amazing.
- KK: Ehn-na, nu-na-nhu... (I owe all this to my human partner. He's the one who helped me fine-tune my data bit by bit and trained with me every single day...)
- KK: En-nah-ehn en-nu-nah... (He's a handsome and composed officer, always keeping his cool no matter if it's a small neighborhood issue or a major case...)[Note 1]
- Such is the bond between friends!
- Such is the power of friendship!
- I totally get it!
- KK: Nha-nah, nhu-ne... (And, you know, that warm feeling deep down your AI core... when you lend a hand to someone...)
- KK: Nhu-na, nu-nu-ena... (Officer Mewmew is always going on about our duties and the happiness that comes from helping others. Honestly, I don't really feel that kind of thing when I'm getting roughed up by those pesky cats and mean citizens...)
- KK: Nah-nu-ehn. (Hmm... Well, maybe just a little, but yeah...)
- KK: En-nah, nhu-na! (Anyway, thank you so much, dear manager! Thanks to you, I'm not hesitant anymore!)
- KK: Nha-nuh nhu-ne! (So, from now on, I'm gonna keep working as a Securityboo and protect the citizens of New Eridu!)
- Thank you!
- Sure thing, Officer KK!
