Idle Quotes
Aino: Krumkakes...- Aino: Where's the hex nut...?
- Aino: Ineffa...
- Aino: Kerplunk...
- Aino: Clank clank...
- (When the player is nearby)
- Aino: A great workshop!
- Aino: Thanks a bunch!
Dialogue
- Aino: Whoa, (Traveler), so you have a giant workshop, too! What do you build around here?
- Aino: Oh, you don't have to say if you don't want to. I was just curious. Anyway, thanks for bringing me here!
How do you like it here?
- Aino: It's great! I got to talk to Tubby for the whole day!
- Aino: Her full name is even harder to remember than the "Boom and Blast Kuuvahki Energy Cannon." Something to do with rain, I think? I don't get it at all...
- She's one of the adepti from Liyue.
- Aino: Oh right, yeah... Another group that can't be explained in terms of science and mechanics...
- Aino: That seems to be a recurring theme ever since leaving Nod-Krai...
- Aino: Well, anyway, Tubby told me building things here is super easy. All you need is a blueprint.
- Aino: So, I decided to get started on my next machine. I had the design schematic, tools, and components all ready to go, but then she said none of it was useable...
- Yeah, we use adeptal arts instead...
- Aino: See? So, it's not easy at all! It's nothing like what I'm used to! I guess that means no tinkering for me...
- It's okay. Just tell me what you're thinking.
- And I'll see it done.
- Aino: *sigh*... Okay!
- Aino: I'm a little sad I won't get to build anything, but as a guest here, I guess it's better not to overstep...
- Aino: But, uh... could we maybe get a krumkake-maker?
- Aino: Then, at least, we'll have something to snack on together!
- (Unlocks at Friendship Level 4)
- Would you like to have a chat with me?
- Aino: Sure! But, um... Could you help me find my precision machinery hex nut first?
- Where did you last see it?
- Aino: Hehe... No idea.
- Then, when did you last use it?
- Aino: Hm, when was it? Earlier today? Or maybe yesterday...? Sorry, when I get busy, I tend to lose track of time...
- Well, what do you usually do when you lose something?
- Aino: Oh, that's easy. Whenever my room gets too messy and I can't find something, I just call out, "INEFFA!"
- Aino: It's the fastest way to fix the situation! Even if it means walking right into a lecture...
- Aino: Huh, but you don't have somebody like that to help you. How do you survive?
- It's just a matter of staying organized...
- After a while, it becomes a habit...
- Aino: But, if I had to spend time on cleaning after pouring countless hours into making stuff, there'd be no time left over for snacks!
- Okay, so snacks are your main concern...
- I think I understand Ineffa a whole lot better now...
- Aino: What!? No, no, no! We need to be a united front! Like... a snack alliance!
- Aino: Ah, I get it. You've forgotten how good a delicious, crumbly cookie can be, haven't you? Well, you're in luck, 'cause I've got extra! Here, we can—
- Aino: Hey! My hex nut! It was in my sleeve the whole time!
- (Unlocks at Friendship Level 7)
- Anything you'd like to do?
- Aino: Yeah! I wanna give our krumkake machine a new look!
- Aino: It's just a bit plain right now. I think we can make it stand out a lot more!
- Aino: What shape do you like? We could do... a robot? Ooh, or a little duck could be cute!
- Aino: Oh, but I've got the name down already! (Traveler)'s Special Sizzling Krumkake Contraption!
- How would the robot work?
- Aino: Well, it would have a robot arm to do the cooking, and an oven in its chest.
- Aino: Then, once you hear the sizzling sound, the krumkakes burst from the oven in the chest and the robot's mouth shoots out sugar to dust them with!
- Okay, what about the duck?
- Aino: Well, first you put the ingredients in the duck's back, and then you press the switch on its wings to activate it.
- Aino: Then, you wait for the sizzling sound, and... Ta da! You have a whole batch of krumkakes that you can take from the duck's mouth, one after the other!
- Huh, both sound like good options...
- Aino: If you can't decide, why don't we just make both?
- Aino: The construction should be pretty simple... And, if there's one thing I know, it's how to execute a vision!
- Wow, fun!
- Aino: Hehe, you see the vision! I knew you would like it!
- Aino: Then, let's make both! A machine like this deserves to be in the hands of someone who understands its value!
- Aino: One small hiccup, though... Taking this machine apart still won't give me the components I need. Looks like I gotta make a quick stop at home...
- Aino: But, I'll be super quick! So, wait for me, okay? You promise?
- (Between 6:00 and 19:00)
- Good morning, Aino.
- Aino: Morning, Ineff— Huh!? (Traveler)!
- Aino: Hehe, you're here bright and early! Wanna go have some fun?
- (Between 19:00 and 6:00)
- Good night, Aino.
- Aino: Oh, is it night already? Aw, man. I wanted to hang out with you for a little longer!
- Aino: Alright, well... G'night! Come see me first thing tomorrow, okay? Don't forget!
Special Dialogue
When a character is invited to or invites themselves to their favorite set for the first time, the character will provide a reward. They will provide a reward for each of their favorite sets.
Inviting them to the furnishing set again will replay the dialogue, but no further reward will be given.
The Bestest and Warmest Home
- Aino: Wow, nice! These chairs and carpets sure are familiar! But something's still missing...
- Aino: Can you guess what's missing? That's right, it needs more Aino! Hehe.
- Aino: And that means I'll make sure to come around often to perfect your work. We'll play lots, 'kay?
Promising Workshops
- Aino: Do you like building things with sheet metal, too? Oh! Here's a blank wall...
- Aino: How about I draw you a mural? I'll draw you, and me, and Ineffa holding hands! Hehehe...
- Aino: Hehe. That way, it'll look more like the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop.
