Dialogue

(First interaction)
Jacob: Dear guest, please wait... Care for some afternoon tea?
Jacob: The [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand)'s signature desserts that most embody the spirit of the Harmony. Please allow me — the widely acclaimed Musician of Delicacies — to present them to you!
Jacob: Perhaps you'll think that I am merely tooting my own horn. However, in Penacony, the only one who views ingredients as musical notes and is able to weave these notes into a melody is none other than me.
Jacob: For instance, observe this bowl of rice in my hands... Even a slight adjustment in angle will cause it to change in a myriad of ways.
For some reason, you think that the mention of "rice" foreshadows something extremely important.
Jacob: As for the [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand)'s special afternoon tea, it's merely an invitation for the guests to compose the tune along with its chef.
Jacob: Unique and full of surprises... This is the experience that Penacony should offer its esteemed guests.
Jacob: Right, now that I've finished preparing the base, you shall decide how it tastes...
Icon Dialogue Arrow Sweet
Jacob: Instead of choosing something that'll stimulate your appetite, you seem to have made a selection that is more suitable for the end of the meal. However, that's quite all right...
Jacob: Next, decide which ingredient you'd like to use for the final mixing.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Mung Bean Soda
Jacob: This... weapon that you've brought with you is certainly quite... unique.
Jacob: Nevertheless, since this is your selection after all...
Jacob: May I present Sugary Mung Bean Soda Mixed Rice. Please enjoy.
Icon Dialogue Arrow SoulGlad
Jacob: A regional selection, I see. In that case...
Jacob: May I present Extra-Sugary SoulGlad Stewed Rice. Please enjoy.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Spicy
Jacob: What an enthusiastically brave choice.
Jacob: Next, decide which ingredient you'd like to use for the final mixing.
Icon Dialogue Talk No, your ingredients...
Jacob: Being indecisive when faced with gourmet cuisine is quite understandable. Feel free to take your time.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Strawberry
Jacob: In this aspect, you've made another conservative choice. After all... strawberries have a distinct flavor, no matter what they're paired with.
Jacob: Well then, may I present Extra-Spicy Strawberry Mixed Rice. Please enjoy.
Icon Dialogue Arrow Egg Tart
Jacob: What an unexpected surprise... The climax of a music piece lies in the element of surprise. Naturally, this applies to cooking as well.
Jacob: May I present Extra-Spicy Glutinous Rice Egg Tart. Please enjoy.
At least you now know where the sense of foreshadowing that you felt before came from.
Apart from a portion of rice, he does not seem to have prepared anything else.
This dish will be the death of someone — either his, or yours.
You hastily leave the scene without even bothering to provide an excuse.
Jacob: Huh? This guest...

(If Jacob's Emotion is set to Calm)
Jacob: Oh, but I do get it. To innovate in the culinary arts, my method is the most conservative way.
Icon Dialogue Exit That's all.
Jacob: Feel free to order a meal at any time on board the [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand).

(If Jacob's Emotion is set to Angry)
Jacob: I'm not one to flaunt my seniority, but in my opinion, the retro revival fad in recent years is too superficial.
Icon Dialogue Exit That's all.
Jacob: Feel free to order a meal at any time on board the [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand).

(If Jacob's Emotion is set to Happy)
Jacob: Art isn't universal — some people can appreciate it, while others can't.
Icon Dialogue Talk I want to chat with you...
Jacob: Do you know where the word "chef" comes from?
Jacob: It comes from chef de cuisine, which refers to the head of the kitchen. In short, both a leader and a cook.
Jacob: Even someone who leads the preparation of sacrificial offerings can be considered a specialty chef.
Jacob: I've also heard of a distant planet where the leader of the imperial guard is known as the head chef, and their ranks included titles such as Cauldron Major and First Ladle.
Jacob: Which is all to say, I've always been very proud of my profession.
Jacob: You could even say I'm the ruler of my own little kingdom when I'm in the kitchen. Don't you agree?
Icon Dialogue Exit That's all.
Jacob: Feel free to order a meal at any time on board the [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand).

(If Jacob's Emotion is set to Sad)
Jacob: Yes, that's it. That's the feeling I've been waiting so long for.
Icon Dialogue Exit That's all.
Jacob: Feel free to order a meal at any time on board the [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand).

Clockwork

Icon Clockwork Calm Calm
(First interaction)
Jacob: Hmm, even if you don't ask, I know most guests think I'm an oddball.
Jacob: But compared to the friend I met during my apprenticeship, I'm definitely more conservative.
Jacob: Back then, we were trying to create a never-before-seen dish and use it to become famous.
Jacob: At the time, I believed that even if the potential of every ingredient in the universe is finite like musical notes, they hold infinite potential in combinations.
Jacob: As for my friend, he yearned to make a name for himself using exotic ingredients.
Jacob: But he met his match in a seasoned glutton at a banquet one day. Every exotic ingredient he presented from his collection was commonplace in the eyes of the glutton.
Jacob: He came to the realization that day that the only thing a customer has never tasted and will never taste is "themselves."
Jacob: ...
Jacob: I'll spare you the details of what happened after that.
Jacob: Suffice to say that he's still alive and is actually still a "chef."

Jacob: At the time, I believed that even if the potential of every ingredient in the universe is finite like musical notes, they hold infinite potential in combinations.
Icon Clockwork Angry Angry
Jacob: Every dish must be retro. That has been the trend on board not just the [sic] (Radiant Feldspar/The Trailblaze's Stern/The Tatalov/The Soaring Clock Hand), but the rest of Penacony too.
Jacob: I once met a guest who traveled all the way from distant lands to the Dreamscape just so he could get a taste of a traditional dish from home.
Jacob: At first, I thought it was just like SoulGlad, where some of the dish's original ingredients no longer exist thanks to the passage of time.
Jacob: Turns out it was merely because it was a felony in his hometown to consume a rare species like that without first processing it.
Jacob: Had the planet been in an age of ignorance where they still detested the concept of flame, then the dish would hold traditional significance.
Jacob: Yet, once they left their ignorance behind, they decided to transform these outdated taboos into a fad instead. I just don't get it.
Icon Clockwork Happy Happy
Jacob: Thinking about that guest always puts me in a good mood.
Jacob: He had such dignified elegance, and offered unique insights from the perspective of an Intellitron.
(First time only)
Jacob: In fact, I only started this habit of "composing" with my guests after meeting him.
Jacob: He was truly a distinguished guest. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to serve him if I wasn't still executive chef at the time.
Jacob: While sampling dishes, he would frequently praise my creativity while suggesting combinations I never thought of before.
Jacob: Who knew Machine Oil could be used as seasoning?
Jacob: Blend it meticulously enough, and its distant aroma could transport your senses back to when Penacony was still being built.
(Obtain Fleeting Happiness Fleeting Happiness ×3)
Icon Clockwork Sad Sad
Jacob: A long time ago, I learned a secret from a conversation between two musicians.
Jacob: "Your suffering is the reason for your spectacular performance now."
Jacob: Our professions may be worlds apart, but my cooking also counts as a form of artistic expression, so I think it still fits.
Jacob: I got it! I'll serve my guests with the same striking feeling of forlorn sadness!
Jacob: I'll add a layer of mustard between the chiffon cake and the cream.
You can't tell if he's the one feeling sad or if he's trying to make others feel sad.
What you do feel for sure is you shouldn't stay here for much longer.
