- Lemme turn on the TV.
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
A Night on the Couch With a Movie and a VillainStory Description: You watch "Tales of the Wasteland" with Cissia, a film about stories from the Outer Ring. As a former "villain" herself, Cissia doesn't seem to approve of the movie's villain.
- Cissia: Is it starting? Is it starting?!
- Cissia: A movie this good needs plenty of snacks to go with it!
- You really put a lot of thought into this.
- You've prepared a whole spread!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Looks like you really put a lot of thought into this, huh? You've prepared a whole (spread!spread! /
spread.spread.) - Cissia: I didn't have to think about anything. You've already gone and set up the whole "Cissia Movie Night" package!
- Cissia weaves through the room, her nose twitching as she uncovers hidden snacks and sodas tucked away in every corner with more practiced ease than the room's owner.
- Cissia: Ohoho! I can't believe you hid all this food around your room, Manager. I'd have come over much earlier if I'd known!
- Well, they were meant for watching the videotape...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Well, they were meant for watching the videotape... Since you found them, I'll just have to surrender them as your well-deserved reward.
- Cissia: Hehe... You've got a really comfortable sofa.
- Cissia: Oh yeah, so what movie are we watching today?
- Didn't you pick the movie?
- Are you really here just to watch the movie?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Didn't you pick the movie? Are you really here to watch it with me, or are you here for another reason?Didn't you pick the movie? Are you really here to watch it with me, or are you here for another reason? /
Aren't you the one who picked it? Are you really here to watch it with me, or is there another reason you're here?Aren't you the one who picked it? Are you really here to watch it with me, or is there another reason you're here?) - Cissia: Of... Of course, I'm here to watch it with you!
- Cissia: But being by your side... sharing some food... and enjoying your couch... it doesn't really matter what we watch now!
- I give up...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I give up... Today we're watching "Tales of the Wasteland," an old movie shot in the Outer Ring that tells a story set out there.
- Cissia: Right, right! It's a story about my "hometown"!
- The main character is a bad guy from the Outer Ring.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The main character is a bad guy from the Outer Ring who's done it all — a con artist and a fraud, who specializes in disguises and blackmail.
- Cissia: Really? Then I'd better study up — uh, I mean, learn how criminals operate, so I can do my part to protect the peace and safety of New Eridu!
- The title "Tales of the Wasteland" appears on the screen as music steeped in Outer Ring flavor strikes up the entrance theme for the wasteland's rogues.
- As the plot reaches its climax, Cissia's cold tail suddenly coils around your wrist.
- Cissia: ...Why did he have to run back and save that fool in the end? He could've made a clean getaway and become a legendary figure in the criminal underworld!
- Even "bad guys" can have a good side.
- Maybe he's not as bad as you think.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (SomeoneSomeone /
Even someoneEven someone) labeled a "bad guy" doesn't necessarily only have an evil side, right? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): You've done "bad things," (Cissia,Cissia,) but now you're a specialist officer helping maintain the city's safety.
- Cissia: It's Case Specialist, okay.... Case Specialist!
- Cissia: Hmph... Anyway, a bad guy should stay bad to the end! Otherwise, doesn't a "bad guy" just become a "dumb guy"?
- Cissia: I'd rather be a villain than a fool who does nothing but suffer!
- But what if I were the one in danger?
- Would you turn away and leave?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But what if the fool in danger were me? Would the Villain Cissia just look the other way and make a clean getaway?
- Cissia: Hey, don't go putting yourself in danger, Proxy! My conscience really can't handle a test like that!
- Cissia: If... If it were you, I might call Commissioner Severian first, before turning away... Maybe?
- Cissia: Or maybe I'd try using my tail to hook you back from the edge of the cliff... I guess?
- Cissia: Ugh—! Anyway, you really shouldn't put yourself in danger! As I said, my conscience can't handle being tested like that!
- I trust your conscience!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I've always had this inexplicable confidence in your conscience.I've always had this inexplicable confidence in your conscience. /
For some reason, I've always had so much confidence in your conscience~For some reason, I've always had so much confidence in your conscience~) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm sure if things got dangerous, for you or for me, neither of us would ever turn our backs on the other.
- Cissia: Then, if I don't abandon you, will you give me snacks as a reward?
- I wouldn't just stop at snacks, of course.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Of course. It even comes with a complimentary unlimited movie sofa pass.
- Cissia: Deal! You've got my word!
- Cissia: Next time you're in danger, just hold on tight to my tail!
- (Cissia can now promote the video store.)
- (Idle)
- Cissia: A villain's gotta act like a villain!
- (Talk to Cissia again, optional)
- Cissia: If you're gonna be a bad guy, you should stay bad to the end!
- Cissia: My conscience can't handle a test like that, so Manager, you'd better not put yourself in danger!
- Cissia: If you ever end up in a situation like that... make sure you grab onto my tail tight!
