Dialogue[]
- (Idle)
- Caesar: It seems like the Proxy hasn't seen the Outer Ring market. Let me give (himhim /
herher) a grand tour...
- (Talk to Caesar)
- Caesar: There you are, Proxy! Quite a trek, huh?
No worries! I'm here for fun!
No sweat! Meeting you will wipe away all my tiredness.
- Significant Trust increase with Caesar King
- Caesar: You showed me around the city, and now it's my turn to guide you in the Outer Ring.
- What do they sell here?
- Caesar: Everything. Snacks, toys, handmade crafts, and all sorts of odds and ends...
- Do they have something special?
- Caesar: Oh, looking for something special? Hah, I'll show you! Come with me, Proxy!
- Do you have any recommendations?
- Caesar: My recommendations? Well, I've got a booth in mind that'll catch your eye! Let's go!
- Following Caesar, you arrive at the market in Blazewood and stop at a vibrant stall that captures everyone's attention. All gazes fix on crates of different sizes, each labeled with a unique number...
- Kasa: Easy there, folks! All the Tyche Crates we found are right here. The charity sale is about to kick off!
- Kasa: Here are the rules: No touching, no weighing! 5,000 Dennies per crate! Pick a number, money in one hand, crate in the other!
- What are these crates?
- Caesar: We call them Tyche Crates, also known as "crates of fortune."
- What's this stall about?
- Caesar: This is a charity stall in the town, and all the goods here are Tyche Crates, or "crates of fortune."
- Caesar: People in the city often dump scrapped vehicles in the Outer Ring, and you might stumble upon forgotten deliveries hidden in big rigs. If you're lucky, you could find unopened crates before the scavengers swoop in.
- Caesar: When we discover such crates, Kasa organizes a charity sale to raise funds for fixing up the town or helping the elderly and orphaned children.
- Caesar: Since nobody knows what's inside, it could be a bunch of useless papers or a treasure trove, all for 5,000 Dennies.
- Surprise boxes, I see.
- Sounds exciting!
- Caesar: Feeling lucky? While you might pay a fortune and get junk, these crates are super popular and fly off the shelves in the blink of an eye.
- Sure, let's give it a shot!
- Caesar: Choose a number, Proxy, and I'll grab the crate for you!
- Let's go with number 1.
- Caesar pushes her way into the crowd, slips the bill into Kasa's hand, then quickly gets the box with the number "1" and tosses it over.
The crate is not light, and when shaken, it makes a clicking sound...
After that, you and Caesar head to a quieter place... - Caesar: Let's open the crate here.
- (Open the crate excitedly.)
- (Open the crate calmly.)
- Caesar: No wonder it clicked. It's Green Lips Chewing Gum, and it's still good. Judging by the quantity, it's definitely worth more than 5,000 Dennies.
- Awesome! We hit the jackpot!
- Caesar: Haha, yeah! Nine times out of ten, the food in these crates is expired. Last time, Piper got moldy instant noodles.
- Caesar: Plus, this gum lasts a long time. It's a rare find in the Outer Ring, and it's sought-after for us bikers.
- So it's just gum...
- Caesar: Hey, don't look so bummed. While it's not super rare, nine times out of ten, the food in these crates is expired. Getting something edible is already a win.
- Caesar: Plus, this gum lasts a long time. It's a rare find in the Outer Ring, and it's sought-after for us bikers.
- (Both choices lead to the following responses)
- You can have half of it, Caesar!
- Caesar: Really? Thank you! I'll take it, then!
- After sharing the gum with Caesar, you go to other stalls in the market and have a great time together...
- I can't chew that much gum anyway.
- Trust increase with Caesar King
- Let's go with number 20.
- Caesar pushes her way into the crowd, slips the bill into Kasa's hand, then quickly gets the crate with the number "20" and tosses it over.
The crate is so light that you can barely feel anything inside...
After that, you and Caesar head to a quieter place... - Caesar: Let's open the crate here.
- (Open the crate hesitantly.)
- (Open the crate nervously.)
- Caesar: Turns out it's a CD! Hah, I thought it was empty at first.
- It's an old CD...
- It's titled "Yesterday's Spotlight."
- Caesar: Wait, what?! Let me see... Gosh! It's really "Yesterday's Spotlight"! Can't believe I found it here!
- Is this CD special to you?
- Caesar: Yeah! Actually, Big Daddy has been searching for this CD for ages.
- You've been looking for this CD?
- Caesar: It's not exactly for me — it's what Big Daddy has been searching for.
- Caesar: This CD itself isn't special, and the singer isn't famous, but he was a close friend of Big Daddy in Old Eridu when they were young.
- Caesar: According to Big Daddy, the singer struggled for years before finally getting signed by a music studio and releasing this album.
- Caesar: He promised Big Daddy a CD once it was out, but then the downfall of Old Eridu happened...
- What happened to the singer?
- Caesar: No one knows. Maybe he met his end during the fall.
- Caesar: He wasn't a big shot, and his CDs didn't exactly fly off shelves. Few CDs escaped the fall. That's why Big Daddy's been on a wild goose chase for years.
- Caesar: Please, Proxy! Can I buy that CD off you?!
- No, just take it!
- Caesar: Huh? But that's your CD...
- It's special to you, so it's all good.
- Let's give it to Big Daddy together as a gift!
- Caesar: Thank you so much, Proxy!
- After Caesar tucks the CD away carefully, the two of you go to other stalls in the market and have a great time together...
- Trust increase with Caesar King
- Let's go with number 99.
- Caesar pushes her way into the crowd, slips the bill into Kasa's hand, then quickly gets the crate with the number "99" and tosses it over.
Despite its tiny size, the crate feels heavy, like there is metal inside...
After that, you and Caesar head to a quieter place... - Caesar: Let's open the crate right here.
- (Open the crate swiftly.)
- (Open the crate cautiously.)
- Caesar: A wooden box with a nice texture. Feels hefty, like a toolbox...
- Caesar: Hah, jackpot! A set of piano tuning tools! Wrenches, pliers, and dampers... that's a full kit!
- How do you know all this, Caesar?
- Caesar: You've seen the piano by Steeltusk, right? It's a gift from Big Daddy.
- Wait, you play piano?
- Caesar: Yeah, I play a bit. You've seen the piano next to Steeltusk, right? It's a gift from Big Daddy.
- Caesar: You know, I've never been one for fancy stuff, but watching Lucy play back then sparked an interest in me.
- Caesar: But when I mentioned it to Lucy, guess what she said? "That's amazing, Caesar! You've finally figured out that noise works better than fists!"
- Classic Lucy.
- Caesar: We had a fight over that.
- Did you guys fight over that?
- Caesar: Yeah, I had to stand my ground, right? So we have a fight over that.
- Caesar: She lost, and she obliged to teach me piano, but then we made a deal: If I can't stick to her lessons, I'll hand over the throne to her.
- Caesar: I was just trying to outdo her at first, and piano lessons were terribly boring, but then piano grew on me before I knew it.
- Keep these tools, Caesar.
- Caesar: Keep them? They're handy, but they're yours...
- You can play me some tunes in return.
- Caesar: Hah, sure! Deal!
- After Caesar accepts the tools, the two of you go to other stalls in the market and have a great time together...
- Trust increase with Caesar King
- (Idle)
- Caesar: I had a great day today! And thank you for the gift!
- (Talk to Caesar again, optional)
- Caesar: I had a great day today! And thank you for the gift!
- You're welcome.
- I'm happy too.
- Caesar: Are you heading home? Safe travels! We'll have fun together again next time.
