Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Agent Commission Description

Late night, Ellen is alone near Richard Teamilk, surrounded by a group of suspicious people... I should go see what's happening!
(Idle)
Suspicious Man: Ummm... Shall we go together?
Ellen: ...
Strange Man: It shouldn't take long...
(Talk to Ellen)
Ellen: Hey, you're here.
Icon Dialogue Talk Huh?
Icon Dialogue Talk Sorry, I'm late.
Ellen: Ah, my friend's here.
Suspicious Man: Hey... you wanna join in?
Strange Man: Tsk.
Icon Dialogue Talk Show! Some! Respect!
Strange Man: Hey! That's rude!
Suspicious Man: We haven't done anything...
Strange Man: How can someone be such a buzzkill this late at night? Let's go...
Icon Dialogue Talk You better get out of here.
Icon Dialogue Talk Have some self-respect!
Strange Man: Is something wrong with you?! It's not like someone begged us to be here.
Suspicious Man: Fine, whatever. Let's go.
The two young guys finally give up and leave together. Meanwhile, Ellen stands to one side and seems... somewhat sad?
