Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Event Find out what's up with Cissia

After the feast, Cissia suddenly feels off. Her face is twisted in pain, and her temperature's spiking—better check on her quick.
Everyone is enjoying the hot pot when Cissia suddenly collapses to the ground, her face twisted in pain. A quick touch to her forehead reveals she is running way hotter than usual.
Zhu Yuan: Hmm, this looks like symptoms of heatstroke.
Cissia: I told you I didn't want any, but you made me eat it anyway... Gotta admit though, it was pretty tasty... *burp*
Cissia: We snake Thirens... if we stay near a heat source too long, we'll get heatstroke, y'know...
Nangong Yu: Huh? You can get heatstroke from eating hot pot?
Zhu Yuan: Miss Nangong, could you help me hold her up? Seth, Manager, could you two look for something to cool her down?
Seth: Y-Yes, madam!
Icon Dialogue Talk Mhm, I'm on it!
Everyone scrambles to grab cold drinks, ice bags, cooling patches—but nothing is bringing her temp down. Cissia just sits there slumped on the ground...
Seth: Ah... What do I do? My hands are freezing numb, and Cissia isn't getting any better at all...
Nangong Yu: Oh right! "That thing" might come in handy! Manager, could you come with me real quick?
Icon Dialogue Event Hmm, I'm coming with you!
Icon Dialogue Talk Just a second.
(Talk to Nangong Yu, if exited)
Nangong Yu: Let's get moving, Manager!
Icon Dialogue Event Hmm, let's go!
Icon Dialogue Talk Just a second.
(Idle, if Quality Time is exited)
Cissia: Ugh... that's nasty...
Zhu Yuan: Are there any more ice bags? Find me some more!
Seth: Okay, I'll go buy some right now!
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Go with Nangong Yu to find "that thing"

Cissia gets heatstroke from eating hot pot, and after trying every cooling method in the book with zero luck, Nangong seems to have an idea—proposing they head to "404" together to track down "that thing."
(Enter Quality Time)
(Idle)
Nangong Yu: Manager! Over here!
(Ongoing)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍What is it exactly? How come it's at 404?What is it exactly? How come it's at 404? / What on earth is it? Why is it at 404?What on earth is it? Why is it at 404?‍)
Nangong Yu: Just come with me and you'll find out~!
(Reach the marked area)
Nangong Yu: This is it! The magical record filled with Ether energy! "1,000 Heartbreak Ballads"!
Icon Dialogue Talk Magical... record?
Nangong Yu: That's right. Sunna picked it up near the Papago Hollow. I don't know if it's the Ether energy, but the surroundings turn freezing cold once it starts to play.
Nangong Yu: Aria once overheated herself during her rehearsals. She couldn't cool herself down in any way she tried, until Sunna dug up the record and froze Aria into super high efficiency.
Icon Dialogue Talk Huh? This makes no sense!
Icon Dialogue Talk You wanna use this to cool Cissia down?
Nangong Yu: Trust me! It'll work like magic! Come on, let's head back to the video store!
You head back to the video store with Nangong and throw on that "1,000 Heartbreak Ballads" record. Can't believe Cissia actually wakes up from the cold—she won't stop sneezing either.
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Ask about Cissia's situation

Nangong Yu finds a record at "404" that'll instantly chill people out and brings it back to the video store to play it. Cissia's condition seems to be improving—go check on her and see how she's doing.
(Idle)
Nangong Yu: See! Told ya it'd work!
Nangong Yu: That's just how good I am!
(Talk to Cissia)
Cissia: Hiss... Achoo... What the heck was that? What just happened?
Cissia: I had this dream where the boss tossed me into some fire hell for stealing, and just when I was about to melt into nothing, ice-cold hail started pelting my face outta nowhere.
Seth: Phew, scared the hell outta me... I seriously thought you weren't gonna wake up...
Zhu Yuan: As long as you're okay, that's all that matters...
Zhu Yuan: I still have a report to write this afternoon about the missing goods case. Manager, thank you for your hospitality. I've already paid the bill, so we'll be on our way...
Zhu Yuan: Seth, just to be safe, take Cissia for a medical checkup afterward. I'll handle interrogating those suspects...
Seth: Yes, madam!
After seeing off the Public Security crew, it's time to tackle the mountain of dishes... Call it telepathy or whatever, but just as you finish wiping down the last bowl, (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) walks through the door with Blaze, back from "Simmer."
(SiblingSibling): (‍Oh, thanks so much, Wise! I was totally gonna come back and help you with the dishes, but you already finished them...Oh, thanks so much, Wise! I was totally gonna come back and help you with the dishes, but you already finished them... / Huh? Thanks for handling that, Belle! I was planning to help you with the dishes when I got back, but you already finished them...Huh? Thanks for handling that, Belle! I was planning to help you with the dishes when I got back, but you already finished them...‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk No worries.
Icon Dialogue Talk Story of my life...
Blaze: Yeah, (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) improved these Bangboo figurines based on Nangong's designs, and they all turned out super cute!
Blaze: We're planning to hand them out as surprise boxes to customers when we reopen—should give business a pretty solid boost!
Nangong Yu: Good. By the way, how's that soup base recipe coming along?
Blaze: Hehe! (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) couldn't stop raving about it! Good thing you helped me taste-test all night yesterday, or there's no way I could've perfected the soup base this fast.
Blaze: The only thing left is figuring out how much salt goes in the base. I'll need you to head back and taste-test it for me later, yeah?
Nangong Yu: No problem! But you've been working yourself ragged—come sit down and grab some hot pot first. We just got some fresh seafood in. Even if you can't taste it, you gotta fuel up before you get back to work, right?
Blaze: Yeah, I'm with you!
Nangong Yu: Manager, wanna grab a bite?
Icon Dialogue Event Sure thing, all that dishwashing's got me starving.
Icon Dialogue Talk Hold up!
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Complete Copper Hot Pot (III)

After seeing off the Public Security crew, (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) and Blaze return from Simmer. To thank the shop owner for all her hard work preparing the signature spicy hot pot, let's treat her to a delicious hot pot meal.
(Talk to Nangong Yu, if exited)
Nangong Yu: Come on, Manager, take a seat and chill with some hot pot!
Icon Dialogue Event Let's eat! (Enter stage)
Icon Dialogue Talk Wait a minute.
