Dialogue
- Burnice: We never see you two Proxies out here in the Outer Ring! Did you come to hang out with us?
I guess you can say that...- Not exactly...
- (SiblingSibling): Well... We're here for a specific task, not just to hang out.
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) and I have been visiting all our Agent partners to update everyone on our threshold for new commissions... - (SiblingSibling): (Because... money's too tight these days, so we're taking on small commissions now, too!Because... money's too tight these days, so we're taking on small commissions now, too! /

I guess it ain't easy making a living in New Eridu. But now that you mention it — Burnice, didn't someone contract you to collect supplies inside the Hollows?
- Burnice: Oh yeah, that's true!
- Burnice: It's a really easy commission. If you're up for it, we could get it done now while you're here!
- Piper: What? Now?... And here I was thinking lil ol' me could get some extra shut-eye...
- (SiblingSibling): (Great! Burnice and Piper, you're the best! We'll go back and get things ready — see you inside the Hollow!Great! Burnice and Piper, you're the best! We'll go back and get things ready — see you inside the Hollow! /
Thanks, Burnice. We definitely want to take it. We're gonna go and get ready then. See you inside the Hollow.Thanks, Burnice. We definitely want to take it. We're gonna go and get ready then. See you inside the Hollow.) - Burnice: Great! Soooo Piper and I will see you down in the Hollow, then! And once we're all done, I'll treat everyone to some Nitro-Fuel!
- Burnice's initiative is incredible. After taking on her commission, we dive straight into the Hollow...
Talk to Belle/Wise
- (Talk to (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)) - (SiblingSibling): (Fairy, you see that? Wise is gonna take some contracts and make some money to pay for your power bill!Fairy, you see that?

- (If playing as Wise)
- Buying snacks? Without me?
- Games at the arcade? Without me?
- Belle: You were busy then! Next time for sure, okay! For sure!
- Belle: Plus I wasn't spending money recklessly... Those snacks were on sale, and I used points to redeem those tokens...
- (If playing as Belle)
- Wise: I have to clarify that while the chance of that tape appreciating in value is slim, it's still highly valuable as a collectible... And I used my points to pull gachas at the gadget store. They didn't cost a thing.
- You don't have to explain anything to me.
- I get it!
- (SiblingSibling): (If only a fortune would fall right onto our laps! Ahh, why can't Wise and I ever win the lottery? Let me guess — because we didn't get any tickets...If only a fortune would fall right onto our laps! Ahh, why can't Wise and I ever win the lottery?

Main article: Something Good Happened
Defeat all enemies
- (After the short cutscene showing Thanatos - Energized)
- Burnice: What was that just now?
- Piper: Heh~ Let's catch up 'n' find out
- (Enter combat with Thanatos - Energized)
- Burnice: Piper, Piper, it's that weird enemy!
- Piper: We can't let our guard down~
- (Enemy disappears)
- Burnice: Huzzuh wah? Where'd it go?
- (Enter combat with the next wave of enemies)
- Burnice: We meet again, ya big lump! Miss me?
- Piper: Why're you acting like you know it...
- (Enter combat with the next wave of enemies)
- Burnice: Is that somebody up ahead?
- Piper: Gotta take 'em out quick, let's go.
- (After defeating last wave)
- (Idle)
- Grandma Sue: What am I doing here...
Hollow Rescue
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Hollow RescueVideo Summary: Kindness is always rewarded.
- Grandma Sue: Thank you. Looks like luck isn't...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Here they come again!
- Piper: It's still not over...?
- Burnice: Don't worry, leave it to me!
- Piper: Be careful!
- Burnice: Thanks darlin'!
- Piper: Burnice~
- Piper: It's about time we wrap this up!
- Burnice: Alrighty!
- Burnice: This is my latest formula—
- Burnice: Bottoms up!
- Burnice: Dunzo

- Grandma Sue: *coughing* Thank you little ones... and this cutie Bangboo of course!
- Glad you're okay!

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Cutie... Bangboo...?
- Piper: Oh, you don't have to thank me, just thank Burnice. Are you really fine? Getting attacked by Ethereals at your age is no laughing matter!
- Burnice: She looks really tough, and much more spirited than you, Piper!
- Grandma Sue: Oh, such a sweet young lady. Keep it coming, I love hearing these things!
- Burnice: I hope I'll be as spirited as you are when I turn ninety!
- Grandma Sue: I'm not ninety years old!
- Grandma Sue: Burnice... Is that your name? Thank you for rescuing me. I want to do something for you in return. Where do you work? I'll write you a thank you letter!
- Piper: Getting a thank you letter for doing a good deed is so not rock 'n' roll for a biker gang from the Outer Ring.
- Grandma Sue: Is that so? Then do you want money? I have a lot of it. No... money can't convey my gratitude...
- Piper: Wait! Don't be so quick to decide... Burnice! Hey, Burnice! Say something...
- Burnice: You're right, there's no need to give us money! Money was the furthest thing from our minds when we saved you. Please just take care of yourself and live a healthy life until you're ninety!
- Grandma Sue: I want to live longer than that...!
- Grandma Sue: But you really are a nice young lady... Alright, then please take this! It'll bring you good luck!
- Piper: Is that... a lottery ticket?
- Grandma Sue: I grabbed one while passing by the store. The friendly clerk there chose the numbers for me.
- Grandma Sue: My palms started getting hot when I purchased it, so I think it's a lucky ticket...
- Grandma Sue: I've lived more than enough years to know that this is a sign of Lady Luck smiling at me! I'm sure it's worth at least two million!
- Burnice: Whoa! Two million! I'm gonna fill a swimming pool with Nitro-Fuel and make Piper teach me how to swim!
- Piper: But I don't know how to swim either... Is it already getting to your head?
- Burnice stays to watch the supplies while Piper and the Proxy escort the old lady out of the Hollow from the nearest exit.
- Piper: Proxy, are we thinking the same thing?
- The lottery ticket.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): About the lottery ticket getting to Burnice's head?
- Burnice.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): About how the lottery ticket got to Burnice's head?
- Piper: Of course. Burnice's endearing quality is her unwavering optimism. That's what I love about her... so I don't want to see her feeling down.
- Piper: Reality always bring you down, doesn't it? Though it's a pain, I'll take it upon myself to remind her of the reality.
- Burnice: Hey! You're back! Guess what I'm thinking about? Three! Two! One! That's right! I'm thinking about how we should split that huge prize of two and a half million between the three of us!
- Piper: We only left for ten minutes and the prize money has already grown by an imaginary five hundred thousand?! I wish my stocks could do that!
- Burnice: I thought you'd be happy, Piper. Didn't you always like discussing the lottery with other truck drivers?
- Piper: It's not the actual tickets we love, it's the prize money.
- Piper: Burnice, listen to me... Lottery tickets are a mix of statistics and pure dumb luck. But in the end, it's 95% statistics and 5% the dark side of society. Got it?
- Burnice: Haha! I don't get it at all!
- Piper: I hope you never do. It's too complicated for me to explain in detail. But a bet casually placed with numbers picked by the store? You might have a slim chance of winning a small prize. A big prize? No way.
- Burnice: But the results haven't been announced yet! It's too early to say there's no way!
- Piper: Don't give me one of those sports comic book lines like "The opponent's at their match point, but we haven't lost yet!" Anyone who's made a bet knows miraculous victories only happen in comics.
- Piper: Let me take a look at the ticket... The time on the ticket is still there, so it should be for tonight's draw.
- Burnice: On TV? Cool... I can't wait!
- Piper: Tch... Hey, Proxy, I need to talk to you. It's practically impossible for this ticket to win, but I don't want Burnice to be alone when she gets disappointed. So...
- Burnice: Burnice, let's head over to the video store on Sixth Street to watch the draw, okay? We can watch it together.
- (SiblingSibling): (Wise, welcome back!Wise, welcome back! /

Find Burnice and Piper on Sixth Street
- (Idle)
- Burnice: Time to get another Nitro-Fuel!
- Piper: Why don't you drink something else for a change?
- Burnice: Sure thing — if you're buying!
- (Interact with Burnice)
- You find Burnice chatting with Piper outside the convenience store...
- Burnice: It's "One Free Bottle"...!
- Burnice: Piper, check it out! I just bought this Nitro-Fuel and won another bottle, free!
- Burnice: My luck's so good today. I'm sure to hit the jackpot on the lottery!
- Piper: That's not how it works. These are two isolated incidents... Why can't we just trust in the science?
- Burnice: Ohhhoho, Proxy! I've already made my mind up — we're splitting the jackpot between the three of us!
- Burnice: So why don't you start thinking about what you'll put your winnings towards!
- No need to rush...
- Nothing in this world ever happens quite as planned...
- Piper:*sigh*...Proxy, don't even bother. I've already given up trying to rain on her parade.
- Piper: In fact she's like a sauna or something. The more more I rain, the hotter she gets...
- Piper: We've tried our best, haven't we? Now all we can do is let the cold rain of reality teach Burnice a lesson...
- Burnice Is the lottery about to begin? Why don't you head back first, Proxy? Piper and I will come find you at the store after we finish this Nitro-Fuel!
- They're drawing the lottery soon. Let's head back to the video store.
Go back to the video store
Switch on the TV.
- (Idle)
- Burnice: If we flick the TV on right now, we'll catch the lottery draw, right?
- Burnice: The fire in my heart is about to set this ticket alight...!
- Piper: Take it easy, sis...
- (Interact with the TV)
- TV Here are the winning numbers for this week's lottery:
- Burnice: They only read out one number at a time? I can't take this...
- Piper That's how they do this lottery. The more numbers you can match, the more you win.
- Burnice: Ah, is that right! You know everything, Piper — I had no idea!
- Piper ...Stop flattering me and watch the TV draw.
- Piper The first few numbers are all the same! Do you think this ticket can really hit the jackpot?
- Hit the jackpot?
- Here's hoping!
- Piper: Don't get too excited. The prize pool's only tiny right now, barely enough to cover three cups of teamilk.
- Burnice: Only three cups of teamilk? That means Belle and Wise would have to share a cup... Uh-uh, no way! C'mon, prize money — grow, grow, grow! At least give us enough for a fourth cup!
- TV And the next number is...
- That's our number, too!
- Four cups of teamilk!
- Piper: ...Hey, hold on a sec... Do we only need the last two numbers now... have we matched all the other numbers?
- TV: Our scrutineers are now observing the drawing of our final two numbers! The final two numbers are...
- Burnice: Huh?
- Burnice: Aren't those numbers... The same as our ticket?
- TV: To all those who've missed out tonight, don't lose heart. And to our lucky winner: Congratulations!
- TV: Reports indicate that tonight's first prize jackpot has reached three million Dennies!
- TV Let us now once again give flowers and applause, our blessings our envy to those lucky winners!!

- WE WON?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We really won, and it's the jackpot of three million...
- Burnice: Three million Dennies! Whoa! That's a big number! We'll get one million each!
- Piper: Huh? Wait... You were serious when you said that you planned to split the prize with us?
- Burnice: Of course! She gave it as a thanks to all three of us, so obviously the prize should be split evenly among us!
- Piper: Burnice...
- Burnice: Huh? What is it?
- Piper: It's nothing. You're such a good kid, Burnice.
- I'm included, too?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I... I'm included, too? I really didn't do much apart from being a cute Bangboo... But if you insist, then I won't refuse!
- Thank you, Burnice.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Burnice, thank you so much... I really needed this one million Dennies!
- Burnice: What's with the sudden praise? I just did what anyone would do! You two would do the same in my shoes right?
- Piper: I don't know about the Proxy, but my heart is likely as grimy as a truck's exhaust pipe, whereas Burnice's heart shines like a truck's headlights.
- Burnice: The sexiest part of a truck isn't the headlights, it's the engine! When will my heart be able to rumble like an engine?
- Piper: It's so nice to be young. Anyway, according to the show, it looks like the prize money won't be given out for a while.
- Burnice: Then shall we get going, Piper? Thanks for everything, Proxy. We'll contact you when the prize money arrives!
- Burnice: Don't worry, this lottery ticket is too important to lose. I'll make sure to keep it safe! Hehe!
- Piper: Hey! It's bad luck to say something like that! I should hold onto the ticket just to be safe...
