Icon Dialogue Agent Read Evelyn's message
Evelyn seems to have something to talk to you about. Check the message she just sent you.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Manager, do you have Monica's movie, "Oh~ Sweetie"?
Icon DMs REPLY
Yeah, awesome movie.
It's a huge hit here.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Oh? Surprised to hear that, thought you'd be team Astra all the way.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Monica is Astra's biggest rival. You know that right?
Icon DMs REPLY
A—Are we really picking sides... Can't we like 'em both?
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Hah, is that so. Need me to introduce you to Monica? I can ask Astra.
As the video store manager, I gotta stay neutral.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Neutrality is a valid stance too, being able to weigh options from all sides. Smart.
...I'm a die-hard Astranaut! Pulling Monica's movie from shelves NOW!
I'm ditching neutrality! Get Monica off these shelves!
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Glad to hear it, no need to purge Monica's movies though.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Got time soon? I need to watch Monica's movie.
Icon DMs REPLY
...Why do you get to watch it?!
That's so double standard...
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
I'm watching it for work.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Didn't want to contribute to the rival's box office sales so I came to you instead.
Icon DMs REPLY
I await your arrival.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
Thank you so very much.
Anything for you and Astra.
Message Evelyn Chevalier Icon
It's just me, no Astra, sorry to disappoint.
Icon Dialogue Agent Tracked Talk to Evelyn about the videotape
Evelyn has shown up as arranged. Talk to her about the videotape.
(Idle)
Evelyn: Sorry to bother you, Manager.
(Talk to Evelyn)
Evelyn: Is there a place in the shop to watch movies? I don't want to take Monica's movie home...
Icon Dialogue Talk Yeah, but is it that big of a deal...
Icon Dialogue Talk There is, but Astra won't mind?
Evelyn: She won't.
Evelyn: It's just that as her manager, if I get caught holding a Monica movie by the paparazzi, it could get messy.
Evelyn: So if it's cool, I'd like to watch it here.
Icon Dialogue Talk Of course, no problem.
Evelyn: Great.
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
Trust "All for Show"
Story Description: You watch Monica's movie Evelyn [sic]... Wait, isn't Monica that superstar who's always competing with Astra? Shouldn't [sic] we be watching that?
Evelyn: The reviews said this movie's plot isn't that great. Monica basically carried the entire movie on her own.
Evelyn: She's quite a formidable opponent, there's no denying that. You can sense her charismatic aura just by looking at the cover.
Evelyn: So, is there anyone in your circle of friends who especially likes Monica?
Icon Dialogue Talk Yep! Although, technically speaking, he's not exactly a person.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Yep! Although technically speaking, (‍he's not actually a person, per se... So, I guess not?!he's not actually a person, per se... So, I guess not?! / he's not really a person... So, I guess not!he's not really a person... So, I guess not!‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk Nope. They're all Astra fans.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Nope. All my friends are Astra fans! There is this one guy I know who is always raving about Monica. (‍But he's technically not a person so... scratch that.But he's technically not a person so... scratch that. / But he's technically not a person.But he's technically not a person.‍)
Evelyn: You don't have to be so polite. I was just joking on Knock Knock.
Evelyn: Believe me, Miss Yao doesn't mind. You don't need to use these sorts of superficial formalities to prove your relationship with her.
Evelyn: Besides, she actually has a great relationship with Monica when the cameras aren't rolling.
Icon Dialogue Talk What?! That's completely opposite of what people are saying online...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Well... that's totally different from what people are saying online. I heard neither of them are willing to appear on the same show together...Well... that's totally different from what people are saying online. I heard neither of them are willing to appear on the same show together... / What?! That's totally different from what people are saying online... Neither of them are willing to appear on the same show together, right?What?! That's totally different from what people are saying online... Neither of them are willing to appear on the same show together, right?‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk Everyone says they don't get along!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Everyone on Inter-Knot says they don't get along, and if the two of them (‍end up inend up in / are inare in‍) the same room together... then you better have some popcorn ready!
Evelyn: It's their job, just an elaborate act written by the company for them to play out.
Evelyn: While rehearsing their lines, they had to rerecord their reactions several times because they sounded more like playful banter than actual contempt.
Icon Dialogue Talk Just thinking about them acting cute... I want to see it!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Playful banter between Astra and Monica... (‍I'd love to see that, and I'm sure others would too!I'd love to see that, and I'm sure others would too! / Wow, that would be a work of art! Why not release it for the world to see?!Wow, that would be a work of art! Why not release it for the world to see?!‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk Sounds exhausting... Even their relationships have to be scripted.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Sounds exhausting... Having your preferences and relationships scripted out for you... So they probably can't go out shopping together, right?
Evelyn: Nope. Polls show that people just can't get enough of those two butting heads. It's one of the most popular subjects of discussion among fans.
Evelyn: The company will stick with this in order to maximize Miss Yao's commercial value. I'd imagine Monica is in the same boat.
Evelyn: That's the "curse" of being a star.
Icon Dialogue Talk How come...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Somehow... I don't feel like watching the movie anymore. That such a cruel reality could be behind Monica's beaming smile...
Evelyn: No. This should make you want to watch it even more. Monica has no other choice but to put herself through all of that stress and frustration to be seen in movies.[Note 1]
Evelyn: For Monica, there's nothing more important than that. And for Miss Yao, there's nothing more important than her music. Neither of them will ever change their minds about that.
Evelyn: So, please know that her smile is genuine.
You watch "Oh~ Sweetie" with Evelyn, but this time you feel completely different from the other times you've seen it.
With such a mediocre plot, Monica can only rely on her expressions and emotions. Her beauty is captivating, it's impossible to look away...
Evelyn: A tough opponent indeed. We'll have to arrange for more movie-related work for Miss Yao moving forward.
Icon Dialogue Talk Oh~ Monica...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh~ Monica...
Evelyn: ...You're not worried that I'll tell Miss Yao how much you enjoyed the movie?
Icon Dialogue Talk My relationship with Astra isn't that frail
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Hmph...Hmph...‍) You're the one who said that I don't need to use shallow formalities to prove my relationship with Astra.
Evelyn: That's true. It's just that Miss Yao is too pure and innocent. She never second-guesses the motives of others and doesn't guard her heart.
Evelyn: Unlike me.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm not afraid of being tested
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm not afraid. (‍C'mon, put me to the test, Evelyn.C'mon, put me to the test, Evelyn. / Go ahead and put me to the test, Evelyn.Go ahead and put me to the test, Evelyn.‍)
Evelyn: Alright, I won't hold back. After all, I am the Princess's knight in shining armor.
Icon Dialogue Talk And that's why she needs you to protect her
(ProtagonistProtagonist): And that's why Astra needs you to protect her, right?
Evelyn: At least, that's what it seems like from the outside. But actually, I'm the one being protected.
Evelyn: Anyway, the movie today gave me lots of inspiration. Thank you.
(Evelyn can now promote the video store)
(Idle)
Evelyn: Well, that was a tough one...
(Talk to Evelyn again, optional)
Evelyn: Thank you. I gained a lot of insights.
Evelyn: Astra and Monica have totally different styles. I think we need to think carefully about the movie choices.
