Event Dialogue
Whirling Waltz
Available after hiring Nusta during Amusement Part Management.
- Nusta: Great hero, it is an honor to be able to work for you.
I feel like we've met before...
- Nusta: That's right! I was fortunate enough to fight against the Abyss alongside you. When the dust settled, we even took a picture together in front of the Stadium of the Sacred Flame!
- Nusta: I never imagined I'd run into you here in Fontaine.
- Nusta: If I'd have known, I wouldn't have tried all those drinks for the first time at The Rusty Rudder. Standing here in front of you tipsy like this, it's a little embarrassing...
- Nusta: Ahem, but don't worry, it's mostly worn off already. I'm in complete control of the situation!
- How are you finding the work here?
- Nusta: I love it! Working at a film-themed amusement part is the sort of unique life experience you don't often get the chance to enjoy...
- Nusta: If I hadn't gone and made the stupid mistake of drinking and diving — and losing my wallet in the process — then I'm sure I'd be having even more fun!
- Nusta: But even though every last Mora of my travel expenses was in that wallet, it's not the end of the world... You pay decent wages here, so if I work hard enough, I'm sure I'll be able to make it all back in just a few days!
- Keep up the hard work!
- Nusta: Of course! This adventure attraction is a lot of fun, and there's no better motivation to work hard than doing something that stimulates you!
Dance Dance Dynamic Disco
Available after completing Dance Exchanges — A Beautiful Start.
- Nusta: Looking good there, (Traveler)! Now, we have several dance groups here and all kinds of stages set up, so you can dance till you drop if you like!
Then let's get started!
- Nusta: Woohoo! Alright, dancers on your marks! Music, stand by... Take the stage, coach!
- Nusta, could I have a quick word with you first? Nothing too serious.
- Nusta: Sure! We can chat as long as you like. Just, ah, hold on a sec...
- Nusta: Mmm, I'm good, just a lil' tipsy! So, what do you want to talk about, dear hero?
- Did you enjoy your trip to Sumeru?
- Nusta: Haha, of course! I couldn't be happier! Besides that little Wenut incident, we also encountered so many fascinating people and things—
- Nusta: A team of four chefs hailing from different nations, shuttling between Sumeru and Fontaine, rustling up amazing dishes no matter the ingredients that land in their laps...
- Nusta: A beast tamer returning from the far desert with her Fungus companions, her ladylike demeanor strikingly juxtaposed against her Eremite dress...
- Nusta: Not to mention the female mercenary with the pretty pigtails, an expert with her twin blades who loves dancing around the bonfire at night...
- Nusta: I have to say, it doesn't feel right having you stand here chatting with me without a drink or some snacks in hand.
- Nusta: How about I buy you a nice meal when you have some time? Then we can chat as we eat!
- How are your people doing these days?
- Nusta: Whoa! First, I must thank you for your concern on their behalf.
- Nusta: Two of the four were injured in battle, but it's nothing serious. They've just about recovered at this point.
- Nusta: If anything, they're all bursting with energy right now. How about we go and get some practice in with them sometime?
- So, what's next for you?
- Nusta: Mmm... besides coaching boxing and dance, I think I'd like to try my hand at playing in a band too.
- Nusta: Master Iansan taught me a lot about drumming when the Collective of Plenty came to help our tribe. I'm really digging it!
- Nusta: I did see you and her from a distance while at the Easybreeze Resort... That's right, I should say that I saw the Pyro Archon's band in action.
- Nusta: Once I get good enough at the drums, I'll play for you! Whatever song you call, I'll do my best to make it perfect!
- Let's exchange some pointers about dance in a bit!
- Nusta: Of course! Nothing beats dancing with everyone after I've had my fill at the dinner table!
Dance Dance Easy-Breezy Disco
Available after completing Disco in Motion, Holiday Emotion!
- Nusta: Used to it already, eh, (Traveler)? We've got Melusines and Asha joining our teams of dancers this time. Look at them go. Gives you a real cozy feeling, doesn't it?
- Let's start the party!
- Nusta: Ahaha! That's the spirit! Unleash that passion and rock your body to the beat!
- Could I have a word real quick, Nusta?
- Nusta: Oh yeah, sure. First off, I've got good news—
- Nusta: Previously, I visited the Collective of Plenty to improve my boxing skills and enhance my core strength...
- Nusta: ...And I wound up taking the chance to practice playing the drums. Pretty good at it nowadays, if I do say so myself!
- Nusta: Master Iansan says that if I further improve my double pedaling and compound rhythms, I'll be able to play even more avant-garde pieces.
- Nusta: So, if you're looking to put a crew together and can't find a drummer...
- Nusta: I'd be up to help — if you'll have me, of course!
- It seems we're missing some friends this time, aren't we?
- Nusta: Hmm? Oh! You mean Taraneh and Uncle Scimitar?
- Nusta: Ah, it's a shame, but they've been super busy lately.
- Nusta: Something insane happened in Sumeru, and a huge relocation project was carried out in response.
- Nusta: Fortunately, I've heard that the danger has passed, and that they've moved back to where they used to live.
- Nusta: Moving's always a massive hassle, never mind if you've got to do it twice. Gotta sort your things, clean the house... Yeah, that stuff takes time.
- Nusta: And given their personalities, I wouldn't be shocked if Taraneh and Uncle Scimitar went to help others out once they'd settled their own business.
- Nusta: So instead, we've got some of the Blazing Beasts, who're having a rather relaxed time.
- Nusta: I have no doubt that they'll be the first to show up next time, though. I'll have the wine ready for them — already do, in fact!
- I'll swing by for a dance later.
- Nusta: No problem! Feel free to try the awesome food we've got at the party. Nothing like getting in the mood for a jig first, right?
