Morose Monsters (V)

(Trailblazer): (Lady and Melancholy are really close. Lots of people are fond of their performances.)

(Trailblazer): (I wonder how Starlet is doing. Will he show up today?)

(Trailblazer): (...As curious as I am, I should get the business started first.)

(Open the Mixing Workbench and start service)

Tin Man: Greetings. I'm here for a drink, and this time I'd like... I'd like...

Tin Man: My visit here... won't cause you any trouble, will it?

What would you like?

Just spill it!

Tin Man: Okay! I want an extra large glass that's sweet and has plenty of color. Thanks for the trouble!

Wait, so many requirements?

Why do you want layers? That's so much work.

Tin Man: Please pardon me! It's my pursuit of beauty.

Tin Man: In my opinion, vibrant and bright things are beautiful, while chaotic and monotonus things are ugly. While Siobhan said I have to have a drink, I think it's more interesting to add a touch of fun!

(Trailblazer): (...Didn't expect it to become so serious after resolving its emotional issues.)

• Slightly sweet ( 1)
• No fewer than three color layers

Tin Man: Your mixing skills are as excellent as ever. I really enjoyed this drink!

Tin Man: My mind has become so clear since we last talked. Hahahaha! Is this what salvation feels like?

Tin Man: To repay your kindness, I did something incredibly daring.

Tin Man: I lied to that frenzied fool and told him that Siobhan had called them to the lounge. I believe they will show up any minute now!

Tin Man: I believe you'll be able to handle the situation when they arrive.

...Why did you help me?

Tin Man: Because you saved me from going down the wrong path. So naturally, I should help your business in return!

...Why did you lie to them?

Tin Man: That beast doesn't trust anyone except Siobhan. If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't get a chance to talk to them.

I didn't realize you were so nice.

Tin Man: I'm flattered! You guided me to the right path, so it's only natural to repay your kindness!

Tin Man: Hee-hee. As a reward, can you make me another drink? This time I want a large glass, with a strong taste and thick texture, and with a few more layers of color!

Tin Man: Is this... too much to ask for? If it's too much trouble, I'll change it... right away...

(Trailblazer): (They've been so polite to me. I'll just fulfill this request.)

(Start preparing the drink)

Move the mixer first.

Tin Man: Hey hey, your fingers are really nimble. If you're free, can I trouble you to turn the pointer for me?

(Trailblazer): (Its personality has really changed a lot.)

(Start preparing the drink)

I want something large that tastes strong with a thick texture! And has more colored layers in it!

Tin Man: ...Aha! It's so delightful that it feels like all the gear in my body are shaking, and every corner of my insides has been lubricated!

Tin Man: I'm feeling so satisfied, hehe. Thank you for the treat!

Tin Man: That fool will be here soon. Here's a piece of advice: when you're talking to them, try to make them reveal their true thoughts!

Tin Man: What they say is completely different from what they really think. I hate that type! Unlike me! I never hide my fiery soul! Haha!

Tin Man: I'll take my leave now! Good luck with your conversation!

(Trailblazer): (Alright, now that I've resolved all the other monsters' problems, it's time to have a chat with Starlet.

Starlet: ...

Starlet: That alarm clock was lying about Siobhan calling me over, right?

Starlet: Well... if you've got something to say, then say it.

...How's your recovery going?

Why did you suddenly go all frenzied?

Starlet: It's got nothing to do with you.

Starlet: ...Looks like we'll be talking for quite a while. Get me a drink first, the same one I order the first time. Do you still remember?

I remember it well!

...I've forgotten about it.

Starlet: Look at how foolish you ae... I'll just tell you. It's Paper Moon. Don't get it wrong this time.

Starlet: Well, this is exactly what I wanted, and its flavor remains the same. You do seem to have a good memory.

Starlet: ...I actually recalled a lot of things.

Starlet: I ordered the same drink because Siobhan remembers the preferences of all the monsters here.

Starlet: She remembers clearly what flavors each monster likes and what requirements they have for their drinks. We may have quirky tastes that even we ourselves don't recall the reson fo, but she remembers them. It's amazing.

So, were you just trying to test me?

Starlet: Hmph, then do you remember what the other monsters like?

...Spade.

(Trailblazer): (Spade likes...)

...Decorations?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Ice cubes?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Layering?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

There's nothing special about it.

Starlet: Yeah, they're emotionally unstable and can't remember complex things, and they're most likely yo throw a fit. They need to be treated like a kid, and sometimes they need a lesson.

Starlet: However, they're pure in character and can become happy just from getting their favorite drink.

...Melancholy.

(Trailblazer): (Melancholy likes...)

...Decorations?

Starlet: Yeah, they used to be a disillusioned actor, so deep in their role that they don't have any normal thoughts other than reciting lines that nobody can understand.

Starlet: Have they ever told you about their love? Well, it's actually a prop box from their time in the theater, filled with beautiful jewelry. Not expensive, but a memento.

Starlet: Unfortunately, they lost that box when they got kicked out.

...Ice cubes?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Layering?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

There's nothing special about it.

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Mr. Bigwig.

(Trailblazer): (Mr. Bigwig likes...)

...Decorations?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Ice cubes?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Layering?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

There's nothing special about it.

Starlet: Yeah, they're not picky about flavors. They're very easy-going and are closest to Siobhan.

...Lady.

(Trailblazer): (Lady likes...)

...Decorations?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

...Ice cubes?

Starlet: Yeah, it loves saying things that could cause misunderstandings, but deep down, it's so shy that it has to use ice cubes to cool down its circuits.

Starlet: He thought he hid those thoughts well, but everyone saw right through it.

...Layering?

Starlet: You've got it all mixed up.

There's nothing special about it.

Don't even ask. I remember it all vividly.

Starlet: This lounge hasn't been around for long, but it's already filled with so many memories.

Have you forgotten someone?

...Where is Tin Man?

Starlet: Oh, that pompous alarm clock... let's not mention him. But if someone tries to mess with this place, he's always the first one to jump in and stop the trouble.

Starlet: It's all kinda mundane, but looking back on it is fun.

Starlet: Oh, just look at me chattering away. Make me another drink please. I want a drink that's large, very sweet and tastes mellow. Best if it's refreshing. Perhaps I need to calm down.

(Start preparing the drink)

Attempt to do a flair with the glasses.

The glass makes eight perfect flips in mid-air and lands firmly back in your hand.

You did it! All your efforts have finally come to fruition! You finally did it!!!

Starlet: Hmph. Seems like you are quite something.

Starlet: It tastes great. I've been observing you for quite a while, and you're becoming more and more like a skilled drinksmith.

Starlet: Now that I've said so much, it's your turn now. A good drinksmith shouldn't just listen. They should be able to guess what's on their customer's mind.

Starlet: You've been in this lounge for some time. What have you noticed?

You actually want to talk to me, right?

Starlet: ...Why do you say that?

You came here even though you knew it was a lie.

...You said a lot of things to yourself.

You really care about this lounge.

Starlet: ...Why do you say that?

You really care about the other monsters.

...You've been testing me from the beginning.

Starlet: ...

Starlet: You're sharp for a temporary drinksmith. What else have you figured out? Tell me.

Actually, you... didn't go frenzied back then, right?

Starlet: Go on.

You didn't harm those monsters.

You've been acting normal all the time.

You were trying to scare me into leaving.

Starlet: ...

Starlet: Get me a large glass with a touch of brokenness and a hint of sweetness. But at the same time, it needs to have a thick texture. I really want to try that now.

(Trailblazer): (Keep at it. Looks like I'm getting close to what they're really thinking.)

(Start preparing the drink)

Get me a drink that's large with that vulnerable feeling. And it's gotta be a little sweet with a thick texture.

Starlet: ...I like this flavor because thee are a lot of things I can't get out of my head.

Starlet: ...

Starlet: As you know, we Sweet Dreams Troupe are a creation of The Family to entertain the guests.

Starlet: The work that Siobhan gave you was to calm us down, right?

Starlet: It seems you don't really understand... what this goal really means to us.

Starlet: If you want the answer, come to the hotel in the Dreamscape.

(Trailblazer): (I'll go see what Siobhan is up to when I'm done here.)

(Trailblazer): (Now, I need to have a chat with Starlet.)

Starlet: You've come after all.

Starlet: Let's get it started. There's no point in repeated arguments, as only facts can guide us to the path.

Starlet: I've prepared a Mindspace for simulations. Watch closely and see what kind of life we Sweet Dreams Troupe members are actually living.

Starlet: What would you choose if you were the one at the crossroads?

Ready.

(Enter sub-mission Day at the Hotel in Dreamscape in the Domain of Excursion Starlet's Emoscape)

Nah, I've got better stuff to do.

Starlet: No need to rush. I'll be here waiting for you.

Starlet: Ready to dive into the special space? There, you'll find out what kind of life we so-called Sweet Dreams Troupe members are actually living.

Starlet: Siobhan was right. Now I admit that you're an extraordinary drinksmith.

Starlet: You're a perfect fit for Dreamjolt Hostelry. On behalf of all the members, welcome aboard.

Starlet: ...

Starlet: Thank you for what you've done. I'll drop by next time.

Starlet: Thank you for everything.
