HIA Club

(Idle): Piper: Where's the steering wheel?; Moore: Ehn-nah-ah... Nah? (Steering wheel... Why would you need a steering wheel?)

(Talk to Piper)

Piper: Isn't this place for gaming? How come you don't even have a steering wheel?

Moore: Ehn-nah-ah... Nah? (Steering wheel... Why would you need a steering wheel?)

Piper: Wait, no steering wheel? Is this one of those fancy virtual UIs the kids are into these days?

Piper: That's got no feel! I thought this place was supposed to have top-notch gear?

Moore: Ehn-nah ah? Ehn-nah ehn-nah ah... (Gear... Is there a problem with the gear? One moment please. I'll go and get Kiki...)

Has Piper misunderstood something? More and more club staff are about to get caught up in this mix-up. You quickly step in to stop the service Bangboo and suggest they attend to other customers for now...

Piper: Prox... Well— Great timing...

Piper: This Bangboo is kinda dumb. Doesn't even know what a gaming steering wheel is!

You wanna play a racing game, right?

Piper: No way! There's gotta be one!

There are no racing games at this club...

Piper: There's no... racing game?!

Piper: Racing games, shooting games, soccer... Don't tell me these days you can get away with opening a penny arcade without any of these classics?

Look, this place isn't exactly that kind of arcade, y'know...

Piper: Wait, what? But aren't all these people lining up for games?

True, though. Maybe this place should expand their business a little.

Piper: Yeah... But if they don't have any racing games, then what are all these people lining up to play?

(Both choices lead to the following response)

Explain to Piper what type of club this really is

Piper: Ah... So that's how it is...

Piper: What they should really do is...

Piper's look of disappointment suddenly vanishes, replaced by a smile that screams "I got this," and she beckons you to lean in.

Her breath tickles your ear a little as she whispers, and you almost miss what she's saying...

Piper: How's this? Way more fun than locking yourself in that box and pretending to slay Ethereals, right?

Piper: C'mon, Prox... Pro! Let's place some bets on these people waiting in line here!

Piper: That guy in the green tie at the front of the line, do you think he'll beat the stage with an S-rank?

Piper: Well... I bet he can. How'bout you?

Obviously an office worker. No chance.

Trust increase with Piper Wheel

I'm with you. Bet he can.

Trust increase with Piper Wheel

Piper: Huh...? If we keep betting the same thing, there's never gonna be a winner. That's no fun... I'm changing my bet. He won't make it!

Wait, you can just backtrack like that?

Piper: ...Ahhh, I haven't settled on a bid yet...

With two bottles of soda in hand, you and Piper watch others play for quite some time...
The betting part somehow makes spectating twice as fun.

Wait... Didn't Piper originally plan on watching horse racing?
How did it end up like this...

Piper: Heh heh, I guess wisdom really does come with age, huh?

Who knew an office lady could be a gaming pro?

How come the investigator didn't move an inch after going in...?

Piper: Heh-heh-heh-heh~

Piper: Alright, Here's your winnings. I want vanilla ice cream.

This is...?

Piper: How could I ever get serious around you kids?

Piper: You bought me a soda, so I'll treat you to ice cream. Mind grabbing it for me, kiddo?

Significant Trust increase with Piper Wheel

(Idle): Piper: Luck~ It's all about luck!~

(Talk to Piper again, optional)

Piper: Oh... You wanna know how I guessed that?

Piper: You just gotta go with your gut...

Piper: You can think and calculate all you want... It means nothing in the face of luck...

Please tell me the secret to good luck!

Piper: Just get at least ten hours of sleep every day.

Piper: That way, at least you'll wake up feeling great.

I think it's only a matter of probability...

Piper: Probability...

Piper: It's just a different name, that's all...
