Penacony Paperfold University College

(Talk to Arfey)

Arfey: ...*sigh*

Arfey: (Mister/Miss) Manager, when you're looking for inspiration for your music... can please you bring me along?

...What's going on?

(Trailblazer): Wait, didn't you decide to quit the band?

What's with the change of heart?

(Trailblazer): Of course, it's just that you became a bit unfamiliar.

Remember to wear more clothes.

(Trailblazer): Sure, but it's cold there, so bring extra clothes.

Arfey: Rappa has constantly emphasized to me that working together with you will be rewarding. If it's for assessing music, it should be okay.

Arfey: Let's not waste any more time and go.

Collect inspiration for composing a song by heading to Belobog's Snow Plains

Wander around Belobog's Snow Plains to help Rappa collect inspiration for composing.

Outlying Snow Plains

(Approach Lynx and Dunn)

Lynx: Hello.

Lynx: Big Sis told me about the band. I also saw the last show's stream, and it was really good.

Dunn: Unique, unconventional, full of passion, bursting with energy, a spitting image of my younger days. I liked your performance plenty!

Arfey: ...Thank you.

Let's introduce ourselves.

Lynx: Mm... I'm Lynx, the Mechanical Fever's keyboardist... and a member of the Belobog Snow Plains Research Team.

Dunn: I am Dunn, also the Mechanical Fever's... former keyboardist! I've left the band, haha.

Arfey: Arfey. A student from Paperfold University's Charmony Academy, currently... a guitarist in the manager's band.

Dunn: All right! Since we're all music-loving friends here, you're more than welcome to come to Belobog for a chat anytime. Music has no boundaries!

Aren't you on duty at the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone?

Dunn: ...Ahem. These snow plains may look quite safe, but they still need to be patrolled, in case of any mishaps. The on-duty guard was sick today, so I'm here to fill in temporarily. Yeah, that's the gist of it.

Lynx: You were just roasting olms with me just now.

Arfey: I've used an excuse like this so many times at the academy.

Anything fun happened?

Lynx: Big Sis said you were looking for inspiration.

Lynx: From my experience... when I was stuck, I'd sit in the snow and zone out.

Lynx: Listening to the twigs crackling in the campfire, staring at the white steam rising from the pot — even the most humdrum occurrences were interesting.

Arfey: Can you really get inspired just from zoning out? I have to seek inspiration from the professor's lectures and analyzing classical works...

Lynx: Sounds really amazing... I've never learned any of that profound knowledge. I just like to play music.

Dunn: Haha, I just sort of winged it from elective courses in cadet school.

But your band is really successful.

Passion is the most important thing!

Dunn: If I had to recall something interesting that inspired me... Oh yeah, while I was on the way here, something white darted across my path. It was glowing in a strange light — might be some new sort of new creature!

Dunn: It's not too far away. You can take a look if it piques your curiosity.

Find the Trotter that suddenly appeared in the snow

Step Description

Carefully examine the condition of this Trotter that suddenly appeared.

Outlying Snow Plains

(Talk to Lynx, optional): Lynx: Big Sis said you were looking for inspiration.

(Talk to Dunn, optional): Dunn: It's not too far away. You can take a look if it piques your curiosity.

(Approach the Warp Trotter)

Warp Trotter: Oink, oink oink!

For reasons unknown, there is a trotter sauntering about in the shimmering ivory snow. It does not seem alarmed as you get closer.

Arfey: I've never seen such an animal before! It's so cute!

Warp Trotter: Hmph, hmph hmph!

The trotter wiggles and waggles about, as if welcoming your presence. Now what? Play with it for a while?

(Play with the trotter for a bit)

Arfey: Yay! I want to play with it too. Spin around, and shake hands!

(Pat its head)

Warp Trotter: Hmph, hmph hmph!

It's rather obvious that this trotter loves your affectionate caress. It enthusiastically reciprocates your warmth.

(Pinch its nose)

Warp Trotter: Hmph, hmph hmph!

Okay, seems like the trotter doesn't mind you touching its nose. It even presses its nose into your hand.

(Rub its belly)

Warp Trotter: Hmph... hmphph...

This trotter curls up, showing great resistance to what you're about to do. Best give up.

(Pretty much done playing)

Arfey: What a cute lil fella! Heehee, how about coming back to school with me...

(Ask if it knows music)

(Trailblazer): Err... Hello, do you know how to play music?

Arfey stares at you with a very complicated expression, as if she is thinking about whether to back away from you.

(Trailblazer): Fine, got it... It was just a joke, yeah.

(It's not time to play now)

Arfey: (Mr./Miss) Manager, can you help me out?

Arfey: It's my first time seeing such an interesting animal. Please take a picture of it — I wish to bring it back as a souvenir.

No problem.

Do you not have a phone?

Arfey: ...My phone was custom-made by my family. It only has the most basic communication functions, and can't take photos.

Arfey: *sigh* My parents hope that I would fully focus on my school work, and become a renowned musician after I graduate.

Arfey: They can think what they want. Appreciate the help.

No problem.

Okay...

Warp Trotter: Hmph, hmphhmh...

Arfey: Hey, there's a bunch of them popping up out of thin air!!! Quickly, capture this moment!

Capture the moment the Trotter appears

Step Description

You've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
Obtain a record of the Trotter's beats to help Rappa collect inspiration for composing.

Outlying Snow Plains

(Interact with the Warp Trotter): The Trotter wiggles and waggles about, as if welcoming your presence. Now what? Take out your camera and play with it for a while?; Take a commemorative photo of it.; I've got something else to do.

(After finishing the challenge): Warp Trotter: Oink, oink oink!; Arfey: So many pictures shot! So cuuuute!; (Trailblazer): (We should be about done with our collection. Let's tell Lynx and Dunn about what we saw.)

Report what you saw to Lynx and Dunn

Step Description

You've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
Go back to where you were and tell Lynx and Dunn what you just experienced.

Outlying Snow Plains

Dunn: Oh, so that's how it was. Nothing to worry about, then. Fragmentum creatures such as these have been pretty lively recently.

Lynx: So did you find the inspiration you wanted?

I did.

I suppose...

Arfey: Honestly, I never once thought that... such a meaningless record could be used to inspire creativity.

Lynx: As long as it's something that can help you create new ideas, that counts as inspiration.

Arfey: But... if we don't follow standard music theory, wouldn't we write really strange melodies?

Lynx: Mm, I don't really know that complicated stuff. But Big Sis said that the most thing about being in a band is that the audience is happy.

Dunn: Not just that! She also said that the band members and the one playing should be happy too!

Lynx: ...You sure remember my sister's words well.

Dunn: Ha, haha... Of course! She's the heart of our band!

Arfey: ...

Arfey: (Mr./Miss) Manager, we should be heading back to school. I have something... I need to think about.

Dunn: Leaving so suddenly? My olms aren't done roasting yet.

(Invite them to the performance)

Lynx: Sure. I was also thinking of exploring a vast dreamscape. I'll go ask Big Sis about the times later.

Dunn: I probably can't leave, haha. And I'm just the former keyboardist — I haven't played in a band for a long time. Such youthful stuff should be left to you youngsters!

Dunn: But I will cheer for you! You can do it!!!

Lynx: Yeah, you can do it!
