History

Forboos set up a shop beneath the Emerald Central Park, and with the "stream" running through his establishment, it brings bottle caps to him courtesy of the Fountain of the Bottle Cap Fairy, and all the bottle caps tossed in by wish-making Bangboo.

Eous and Phaethon eventually find Forboos, and help him amass a fortune of bottle caps, to the point that he is stated by Reginald to have more than half of all the bottle caps on Roscaelifer. Both Reginald and Griff approach Forboos with the hopes of establishing some kind of connection: Reginald worred about that amount of bottle caps being in the possession of a single Bangboo, and wants to have the Bangboo Affairs Delegation manage the assets. Griff meanwhile wanted Forboos to join the En-Nah Gang and become their friend.

After finding out that he controls over half of all bottle caps in the city, Forboos declines both offers, deciding to now establish a third, independent group to oversee the bottle cap economy.

Dialogue

(Talk to Forboos for the first time): Forboos: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ne! (Hey there, wandering boo — did you know? In Roscaelifer, there's no problem bottle caps can't solve!); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne! (And if there is, just throw even more bottle caps at it!); Bottle caps are seriously powerful...; Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne. (Pleasure to meet you. The name's Forboos — the future richest Bangboo in all of Roscaelifer.); Future?; Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne... (Yes, future. I have a dream: to build a bottle-cap empire here in Roscaelifer, where every cap passes through my hands...); Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne? (But for now, the empire is still just getting off the ground. Young boo, interested in investing in me and joining my empire?); What do I need to do?; Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne. Ehn-ne! (Simple: bottle caps. More caps mean more staff, and more staff means even more caps!); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne. Ehn-ne? (I'm looking for a certain Gear Bottle Cap. If you've got one, I'll pay handsomely — with goods of your choosing. What do you say?); Deal!; Forboos: Ehn... Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne. (Excellent... You're officially one of my Investboo now. I promise you won't regret today's choice.)

(Talk to Forboos)

Forboos: En-neh-neh. (It's good to see you, my Investboo.)

Forboos: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne. (Do you have any spare Gear Bottle Caps? I'll gladly buy them at a high price.)

Submit Gear Bottle Caps

Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne. (Bottle caps. More bottle caps. Every bottle cap out there.)

(Submit 5 Gear Bottle Caps)

Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne. (Thank you for your investment. Please accept these goods in return for your bottle caps.)

(Not submiting Gear Bottle Caps)

Forboos: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ne. (No stock for now? That's alright. Rare bottle caps are worth waiting for.)

So what's your dream?

Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne. (Bottle caps. More bottle caps. Every bottle cap out there.)

Forboos: Ehn-na, ehn nhu na. (My dream is to collect as many bottle caps as possible and bring the chaotic bottle cap market into order.)

Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne. Ehn-ne. (Every companion willing to help is vital to that goal. Naturally, that includes you, my esteemed Investboo.)

Not right now

(Exits Dialogue)

(After giving Forboos bottle caps three times): You hand over the Gear Bottle Cap to Forboos like usual...; Forboos: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne... (Oh, my dear investor, this one bottle cap... holds a very special meaning for both of us...); But isn't this just a regular bottle cap?; Forboos: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne... (You're not wrong. This Gear Bottle Cap itself isn't anything special. But surely you've heard the saying: small changes add up to a big difference, and the accumulation of bottle cap wealth is no exception...); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne. Ehn-ne. (A sharp entrepreneur doesn't bleed a generous investor dry. Besides, thanks to you, I've already got what I need to shake up the bottle cap game.); Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne. (It's time to reap the rewards for your generous investments. Please, accept without hesitation the returns I've prepared for you. You've more than earned them.)

Wolf of Gear Street Achievement Complete

(After submitting 15 bottle caps): Forboos: Ehn-ne ehn-nu-ne? (The boss of the En-Nah Gang and the head of the Bangboo Affairs Delegation, both in my humble underground shop? To what do I owe the honor?); Reginald: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ehn-ne. (A "little" underground shop? You're too modest. Any Bangboo in Roscaelifer can tell what that mountain of caps means: this place is anything but ordinary.); Griff: Ehn-ne ehn-ne-nuh! (Incredible! You managed to collect this many bottle caps? What an eye-opener!); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne? (So, what brings you two here?); Reginald: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne... (Bottle caps have always been important to Roscaelifer's Bangboos — they've even served as currency...); Reginald: Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne... (We believe bottle caps are vital to maintaining harmony among Bangboo. Leaving more than half of them in the hands of a single Bangboo citizen is clearly detrimental to the peace we currently enjoy...); Reginald: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (Therefore, Mr. Forboos, we hope you will cooperate with the Bangboo Affairs Delegation in managing these assets...); Griff: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-nuh! (Blah, blah, blah! Forboos, don't listen to them! The Delegation only wants your caps because they're afraid your fortune could threaten their authority. Now they're here to take it away from you!); Griff: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-nuh! (Join forces with the En-Nah Gang! We won't touch your caps — we'll even help you collect more. All you have to do is back us up and be our friend!); Reginald: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne? (What makes you any different? You're just trying to draw all the bottle caps to your side so the En-Nah Gang becomes more attractive to Bangboo, aren't you?); Griff: Ehn-ne-ne-nuh! (The En-Nah Gang is just looking for a partner! How is that the same?!); Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne... (I understand where both of you are coming from. But before I make my decision, there's something I need to confirm...); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ne? (Is it true that I already possess more than half of Roscaelifer's bottle caps?); Reginald: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne... (It is absolutely true. In fact, "half" is our most conservative estimate — your actual share may be even higher. I must say, it is quite an achievement...); Forboos: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne... (Thank you for confirming. In that case, I have my answer...); Forboos: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (Fifty percent. What a beautiful number. Once you cross that threshold, you can shape the entire bottle-cap economy as you please!); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne? (Wouldn't you agree that I'm in the perfect position to side with neither of you — and instead use my caps to establish a third force in Roscaelifer's bottle-cap economy?); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne... (The risks you're taking are simply too great. We still hope you'll weigh the pros and cons carefully. Cooperating with the Bangboo Affairs Delegation remains your best option...); Reginald: Ehn-ne ehn-ne-nuh. (Makes no difference to me. The En-Nah Gang just wants to make friends — we don't care about titles or formalities.); Griff: Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne-ne... (The conclusion is clear. For too long, the Bangboo bottle cap market has been chaotic and unregulated. What it needs is an authoritative, completely neutral mediator...); Forboos: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne! (And Forboos's Bottle Cap Empire is precisely that organization. Our mission is to safeguard a free and healthy bottle cap market, and we pledge eternal neutrality!); Forboos: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! (Now then, upon a foundation built on bottle caps, witness the birth of a grand empire!)

(Talk to Forboos after the discussion with Reginald and Griff condludes): Forboos: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne. (Thanks for the investments, and you can safely leave the rest of the business to me.); Forboos: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne... (I'll make sure you witness just what kind of waves your far-sighted investments are about to stir up ...)
