Mr. McCoy

(Version 1)

"Hmm..."

(Version 2)

"Who are you again?"

(Version 1)

"Sorry, my friend."

(Version 2)

"I just want to forget."

(First interaction)

Mr. McCoy: ...And you are?

Mr. McCoy: I don't remember seeing any VIP guests scheduled to visit. What's all this...

He cut himself off mid-sentence, slightly lowering his chin so that the light reflecting off his glasses marks his eyes.

Mr. McCoy: ...Ah, I see. In that case, I'll give tacit consent for anything you want to do here in Dewlight Pavilion, so long as it's nothing out of the ordinary.

I'll be on my best behavior.

Mr. McCoy: Really? There's a slight... discrepancy between that statement and what I've been told. It's no matter, though.

Mr. McCoy: Allow me to introduce myself: I'm McCoy, and I'm responsible for this pavilion while the family head is away.

So, how high up the totem pole are you?

Mr. McCoy: My word... Who knew Trailblazers hoping to unite the entire cosmos could be so uncouth? To answer your question: I'm McCoy, and I'm responsible for this pavilion while the family head is away.

Mr. McCoy: Based on the Dreaming Regulations, Dreamchasers who trespass the Moment of Morning Dew shall be instantly expelled from the Dreamscapes and banned for life from ever staying at The Reverie Hotel. This time, I've elected to make a special exception for you.

Mr. McCoy: After all, you have hitherto contributed much toward The Family's investigation.

How did you know?

Mr. McCoy: Ah... I assumed this was common knowledge with all the information the Astral Express possesses.

Mr. McCoy: To keep things brief: When a member of The Family strays far enough away from the path of Harmony... they gain the power of tacit understanding, allowing information to be exchanged without the need for face-to-face communication.

Mr. McCoy: So, I know all that you have been through. Perhaps not all of the details, but... enough for me to arrive at my own conclusions.

Mr. McCoy: However, I still advised you all while in the Dreamscape to abide by the laws as set out by The Family. As for the reason why, I've just demonstrated my explanation: The Family is always watching you.

(Subsequent interactions)

Mr. McCoy: In light of your status and previous behavior, I am making an exception and allowing you free rein in Dewlight Pavilion.

Mr. McCoy: However, I still advised you all while in the Dreamscape to abide by the laws as set out by The Family. Remember, The Family is always watching you.

I'd like to ask you something.

Mr. McCoy: Go ahead. I hope it's nothing trivial.

Which family do you represent?

Mr. McCoy: The Oaks.

Mr. McCoy: ...

Mr. McCoy: I've answered all your questions. Anything else?

Has this pavilion always so deserted?

Mr. McCoy: I should hope so — it was built for the five major family heads to collectively discuss any matter critical to Penacony. The scene in Golden Hour isn't all there is to the Dreamscapes. I'm sure you get what I mean.

Mr. McCoy: Each and every event put on to please our guests is painstakingly prepared and arranged. That's why this "deserted" pavilion is actually the springboard for all the mesmerizing dreams here.

Have you always been this serious?

Mr. McCoy: This isn't The Reverie Hotel, and I'm no front-of-house receptionist.

Mr. McCoy: My job is to handle affairs when the family head is absent... I'm not required to keep a smile handy for every occasion or emergent situation — least of all for unexpected guests.

Nothing much.

Mr. McCoy: Remember, be careful with everything you say and do.

Leave.

Mr. McCoy: Remember, be careful with everything you say and do.

Post-Mission

(Subsequent interactions)

(If Mr. McCoy's Emotion is set to Calm)

Mr. McCoy: Dewlight Pavilion is a Family stronghold, it is not a safe place for outsiders to remain for too long.

Mr. McCoy: This is just a polite warning, it is not a threat...

Leave

(If Mr. McCoy's Emotion is set to Angry)

Mr. McCoy: There are many sins in this world, among them, greed and betrayal stand as the most unforgiveable.

Mr. McCoy: Unfortunately... my brother and sister did not understand this.

Leave

(If Mr. McCoy's Emotion is set to Happy)

Mr. McCoy: "Little green bird with the flower bud, building a nest beneath the sun..."

Mr. McCoy has fallen deep into a sweet memory. He seems unable to pull himself back from it.

Leave

(If Mr. McCoy's Emotion is set to Sad)

Mr. McCoy: My past has always haunted me.

Mr. McCoy: But I choose to shoulder this pain, I will not run away anymore.

Leave

Activate Clockwork

Calm

Mr. McCoy tilted his head back slightly, as the glare from his glasses obscured his eyes once more.

Mr. McCoy: As the acting executor of Dewlight Pavilion, I am obliged to inform you that any attempts to plagiarize or destroy Family assets may result in grave consequences.

Mr. McCoy: I hope that you can remain rational and refrain from any improper actions...

Mr. McCoy was not specific with his phrasing... He clearly knows the shameful things that you have done in the Dreamscape...

Angry

Mr. McCoy's brows grew furrowed, you have successfully brought his sadness to the surface.

Mr. McCoy: Though I stand above the many, there are still five that stand above me...

Mr. McCoy: I have used every method at my disposal to climb up The Family's scales, even using my own siblings as footholds on my path to ascension.

Mr. McCoy: Just how much further away am I from those final five... Just what kind of price do I have to pay to join the ranks of The Family heads?

Mr. McCoy: I can no longer stand their arrogant and domineering attitudes. One day, I will...

Mr. McCoy managed to suppress his rage, but his ambition is now wholly clear to you.

Happy

As he reminisces, a faint smile grows at the corner of his mouth... For an icy man like Mr. McCoy, even this slight change of expression seems incomprehensible.

Mr. McCoy: Ah... I just recalled a wonderful time.

Mr. McCoy: We three siblings were lying on a mound of grass that had been dyed a light yellow by the warm sun... My sister was singing a nursery rhyme from our childhood, as John was off playing with a branch he picked up somewhere...

Mr. McCoy: I recalled my hand out toward the sky and a small, green bird landed on my fingertip. That warm sunshine was like golden resin, preserving us at that moment and fixing the smiles on our faces...

Mr. McCoy has fallen deep into a sweet memory. He seems unable to pull himself back from it.

Sad

Mr. McCoy's eyes grew sullen... You know that he must be thinking about his siblings again.

Mr. McCoy: Was the Dreammaster really that terrifying and intimidating... Or am I just a cold-blooded demon?

Mr. McCoy: I can't even tell anymore. I just know that when I made my move, I did not hesitate for long.

Mr. McCoy: I received everything I've ever wanted: money, power, status. The price I paid? Two shadows that bring constant pain and a nightmare that I cannot escape.
