Dialogue

(First interaction)

Shawn: "Oh? It's Haru! What great timing, I happen to have two tickets to the Roboball match. I know this may sound cheap because a client gave them to me, but I'm sure it'll be of some value to you?"

Shawn: No, that's coming on too strong. I hardly sound like myself...

You see a strange guy muttering to himself, and you decide to watch him for a while.

Shawn: How about... "Oh, look who's here! I have two tickets with me. If you really want them, I guess I could—"

Shawn: Gah! I sound like a total jerk!

When he finally notices your presence, you see his face flit through a spectrum of colors: from the bright red of a flashing siren to a ghostly pallor, and to a noxious green before returning to normal.

Shawn: You...!? Ack, ahem... You're here to inquire about internship opportunities, aren't you? A little too late, though. The best offers have been snapped up. Didn't I already tell you guys to put in more effort for your internships...

Shawn: Wait, you're not in our uniform... You're a visitor? Hmm, I don't recognize the design on your outfit, but it does boast impeccable workmanship. Could it be a custom piece?

I fished it out from a trashcan.

Shawn: Hah, that's a deadpan tone I recognize. Alright then, I won't ask if you're not willing to share.

A piece by Stellaron Hunters.

Shawn: Oh, that's new. A luxury brand from one of the fringe planets? Too bad I'm not onboarded yet, or I'd suggest for my seniors in the IPC to work out a collaboration with them.

My family got it for me.

Shawn: Oh? I must say your family has a good eye for fashion, then.

Shawn: Anyhow, you've gotten my interest. I'm Shawn, current president of Fortune Academy's student council. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Shawn: If you're lacking funds or the right network for a brilliant idea, I may just be the person to link you up with a partner or opportunity.

(Tell him your plan for the interastral junkyard.)

Shawn: Hardly feasible. There are as many ways to categorize trash as we have species in the universe. It's not going to be easy to come up with a common standard.

(Tell him your interest in starting a love consultancy.)

Shawn: That's a novel idea, but from how I see it... money isn't going to buy anyone love.

Shawn: ...Wait, maybe I just don't have enough money yet?

Fiver for your tenner. This deal's always open.

Shawn: Pfft, you're not trapping anyone with that circular reasoning.

Shawn: *sigh* Is that silly dream of building buildings really the most promising proposition out there...?

(Subsequent interactions)

(If Shawn's Emotion is set to Calm)

Shawn: Remember this: Make the most out of every opportunity to win in life.

I want to continue chatting with you.

Shawn: Sure, but let's not drag it out too long. My time is money, after all.

Tell me about your business connections?

Shawn: Hah, many of my business associates are bigwigs who work behind the scenes, so people you're not likely to have heard of. But since you're interested, I guess I can name someone you're sure to know?

Shawn: Mr. Oti Alfalfa, the current head of the Alfalfa Family. We were both at the same events a couple of times, and I had a few pleasant exchanges with him.

Shawn: Have an idea of my business network now? You're going to have to show me your worth if you want to learn more, though the discretion is still mine.

You like that Haru girl, don't you?

Shawn: I don't—! ...That's a trade secret that will cost you money.

I guess I'll ask her myself, then.

"Oh, I have two tickets with me..."

Shawn: ...Fine, I'll tell you. But you have to keep it a secret.

Shawn: She's a model student at Dreamweaver Academy, but she comes from a poor family from one of those faraway planets. She hardly has any background to speak of. Whatever information found on her doesn't take up a page, even with a 20-point font...

Shawn: No, I'm not one to snoop around others' private information, but there's nothing I can do to stop those nosey bodyguards employed by my family from running a thorough investigation on her.

Shawn: She's just a guileless girl keeping her dream alive with a passion as bare as her background, but... it's her talent that attracted me.

You spin a great tale.

Shawn: Hmph, I'll pretend I didn't hear that sarcasm. Of course I'm a great actor.

Shawn: I don't mind telling you this as president of Fortune Academy's student council: People are always portraying a certain image, whether at internships, interviews, or business negotiations.

Shawn: That's why rehearsing beforehand is the best practice for acing any business function you're expected at.

Shawn: ...What's with that look? Fine, I'll admit it. It's not just rehearsing beforehand, but rehearsing beforehand at the right place.

That's all for now.

Shawn: Alright. Come look for me when you get a good business idea.

That's all for now.

Shawn: Alright. Come look for me when you get a good business idea.

(If Shawn's Emotion is set to Angry): Shawn: If you don't find sitting in class a total waste of time, then you haven't seen the real world.; That's all for now.

(If Shawn's Emotion is set to Happy): Shawn: Business opportunities are around every corner, and I can hear them calling out to me.; That's all for now.

(If Shawn's Emotion is set to Sad): Shawn: Wealth and networks... How do they compare to things that are truly invaluable?; That's all for now.

Calm

Shawn: You're going to have to interact with the highborn and the elite if you want to make it to the top in the business scene, and when you do, you'll naturally pick up the way they think.

Shawn: The same goes for the converse group. You don't want to waste too much of your time on people who are of no value. Every well performing IPC intern lives by this guideline.

Angry

Shawn: Cosmic Economy, Introduction to Interastral Markets, Cross-Border Financial Management... Yeah, the academy sure put together a curriculum that sounds downright impressive. But what do you really get from those classes?

Shawn: Theories that won't work in the real world! Everything you learned in class will be proven wrong on your very first day as an intern!

Shawn: Nothing ever goes entirely as forecasted, so you'll need to have the mental capacity of a genius to astutely pick up on emerging trends and navigate market variables. Then we're back to the question again: Is there a point to sitting in class if you're already a genius?

Shawn: You're better off paying your tuition fees to those hustling Dreamchasers instead! They might just offer you a business opportunity or become your business partner!

Shawn: *sigh* I'm only doing my job as president of the student council, submitting suggestion after suggestion to increase the weightage of the internship module in our overall GPA, but all I get in return are warnings from the university! For discriminating against students from less well-off backgrounds!

Shawn: As if they aren't absurd enough already... If anyone comes asking for my recommendation on which classes to take, you bet I'll wave a giant "DROP OUT NOW" placard in their face!

Happy

Shawn: ...What's a successful business to you? Is it selling food to those who are hungry? Or selling medicines to those on the brink of death?

Shawn: These are common business ideas anyone can come up with. And if you venture into such trades here on Penacony, you'll only find yourself up against a stampede of competitors.

Shawn: Many are counting on the influx of visitors to make a killing at our university's upcoming anniversary, but little do they know that those tourists aren't their cash cows!

Shawn: I, on the other hand, am offering them storage space for their goods! This business idea is sure to rake in profit, no matter how intense the competition gets!

Shawn: And that's how I easily earned an internship offer at the IPC. Because I spotted an untapped business opportunity and jumped in with the right service offering.

Shawn: This is what separates the cream of the crop from the rest. Something those Fortune Academy students ought to learn.

Sad

Shawn: Sure, I know how others think of me.

Shawn: The guy with the smooth-sailing life, the rich and bossy guy, the self-serving profiteer...

Shawn: I don't expect them to look past any of that. People around you only bother remembering your background, not your efforts or achievements. Sad, huh?

Shawn: And what can this weighty name bring me? Credits? What use is it when I can't even get her to go out with me...

(First time only)

So, you're serious about her?

At least you have some self-awareness.

Shawn: ... *sigh* You won't understand. She's a model student at Dreamweaver Academy, an altruistic architect with a heart of gold... The archenemy of us entrepreneurs!

Shawn: My wealth, social connections, and even my approach to things probably mean as much as SoulGlad's shares to her — irrelevant and nothing at all.

Shawn: I... like how she lives true to herself. Or maybe I'm just envious of how carefree she is... *sigh*
