Gameplay Notes

Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Commission Talk to Securityboo KK

Securityboo KK seems to be playing with a cat...
(Idle)
KK: Ehn-nu! Na-ehn!
Dawnie: Meow—
Duskie: Meeeow!
(Talk to KK)
KK: Ehn-na! En-nah-ehn! (Two things to keep in mind: orders from superiors and the safety of citizens!)
Dawnie: Meow?
Duskie: Meeeow!
Icon Dialogue Talk Tasty canned cat food.
Icon Dialogue Talk Delicious dried fish.
KK: Nha-nuh-ne... (Please don't interrupt Public Security's internal training, citizen...)
Icon Dialogue Commission What are you doing here, KK?
(Continue commission)
Icon Dialogue Talk (Leave silently)
(Exit dialogue)

KK: Eha-na? Nu-nhu-ena, nhe-ne-nhu! (Oh, it's you, dear Manager! Perfect timing! As you can see, I'm training the new recruits... well, would-be recruits for Public Security!)
KK: En-nah! En-nah-ehn, ehn! (Let me introduce: Dawnie, who only acts at night, and Duskie, who just sleeps all day. They both have great potential!)
Icon Dialogue Talk Hey, you're already an officer, KK?
KK: Nhu-na! Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne! (Well, not yet, technically! I haven't decided which one of them will become my trusty sidekick... I mean, my assistant.)
Icon Dialogue Talk Cats can become PubSec Officers?
KK: Ehn-na! Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne! (Technically, they're officer assistants. Still, I haven't decided which one of them will become my trusty sidekick... I mean my assistant!)
(Both choices lead to the following)
Icon Dialogue Talk So the tables have turned.
Icon Dialogue Talk Now it's your turn to interview others.
KK: Ehn-na, nha-nu-ne... (I'm actually having trouble. I can only choose one of them as my assistant, but they're both like family to me... What a tough decision!)
Icon Dialogue Talk So, they're well connected!
KK: Ehn-ne-ne? Nu-nhe! (Since you run a store and all, you must be good at interviewing, Manager. Could you help me make the choice?)
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you sure?
KK: Ehn-na! En-nhu-ne-nhu! (Of course, Manager! I'll work with you so you can make a fair decision!)
KK pulls out a bunch of pet items and weird gadgets from his pocket.
Then he puts a paper bag over his head.
Perhaps those are his "props" for the interview.
Dawnie: Meow?
Duskie: Meeow!
KK: En-nah-ehn, nha-nuh, nhu-ne! (There are two qualities that make a great officer: exceptional valor and an unshakable will!)
KK: Nhu-na-ne! (For officer cats, it's all about courage and determination!)
Icon Dialogue Talk We'll test their courage.
KK: En-nah-ehn, nha-na! (Yeah, an officer must have courage to face the bad guys!)
KK: En-nah-ehn, nha-nuh nhu-ne! (I'll play the role of a nasty thug, and you, Manager, will play the role of a helpless citizen I've kidnapped.)
KK: Ehn-na! En-nah-ehn! (Ho-ho-ho! Muahahahaha! I'm the big-bad Hollow Raider who snatches up innocent citizens!)
The "thug," all round and wobbly,
Puts a toy knife against the neck of the "innocent citizen."
Perhaps the "thug" KK is playing is too scary or too noisy...
Or perhaps the kittens are just tired and need a nap...
All of a sudden, the two kittens dash into the alley.
Icon Dialogue Talk We'll test their determination.
KK: Nhu-na, ehn nu ne-nhe! (Determination is all about having the willpower to resist temptation!)
KK: En-nah-ehn, nha-nuh-nhu-ne! (I'll play the role of a criminal trying to bribe an officer, and you, Manager, will play the role of an upright officer.)
KK attaches a replica officer badge to your chest.
One might question if this is against the regulations of Public Security.
This is not the most suitable role-playing game, to say the least.
As for KK, portraying the bribe-taking criminal,
He opens a can of cat food and puts it before him.
As anticipated, the two kittens immediately pounce on the "bribe" without any hesitation.
Icon Dialogue Talk We'll test their appetite.
KK: Nha-ne-nu? En-nah-ehn! (Manager? The canned cat food is for testing, not for feeding the interviewees!)
(Return to choices)
KK: En-nah! Ne-ne-nah ehn! (Hey, where are you going? The interview isn't over yet!)
KK: En-nah! En-nah-ehn! (Ugh, those two... they're such a handful!)
You recorded the performance of the two future security cats.
???: KK? I told you to get us a security dog. What are you doing here?
Suddenly, a strange officer appears, checking out KK's interview results.
She seems to be KK's human partner.
Icon Dialogue Commission Tracked Talk to KK's partner

A little mishap happened during Securityboo KK's interview as a sidekick...
(Idle)
Natalie: What're you doing here?
KK: Ehn-na! (I'm in the middle of an interview!)
(Interact with KK)
KK's Partner: I'm sorry, citizen. This Securityboo might be malfunctioning. If it's causing you any trouble...
KK: Ehn-na? Nah-nu-ne-nah! (What are you talking about, Natalie? You... you... you're the one malfunctioning, not me!)
Natalie: Huh? Instead of doing your job, you're playing with stray cats and talking back to me!
KK: Ne-ne-nha! En-nah! (But I was doing my job! You asked me to find an "assistant," didn't you?)
Natalie: Should I get your cognitive module checked? I specifically told you to find a police "dog." Can't you tell the difference between dogs and cats?
KK: Ehn-na... Nha-nuh-ne! (But you... didn't you say I could choose my own sidekicks based on my preferences? I was taking the interview seriously!)
KK: Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-na! (And I even recorded the interviewees' information and their performances... You did write them down, right Manager?)
Icon Dialogue Talk Proudly present the interview records
Icon Dialogue Talk Hesitantly present the interview records
Natalie: Tsk, now I'm curious about the results...
Natalie: Interviewee A, multicolored cat, gentle, no record of scratching humans. Interview performance: greedy and timid...
Natalie: Interviewee B, New Eridu orange tabby cat, energetic and lively, once scratched a Securityboo's exterior. Interview performance: timid and gluttonous...
KK: ...
Icon Dialogue Talk ...
Natalie: ...
Natalie: I don't think these interviewees have what it takes to work at Public Security... Really, KK, you should...
KK: Ehn-ne-ne... Nu-nha-ne-ehn... (But it really breaks my heart seeing them living a poor life on the streets... If I could just bring them back to Public Security, Natalie...)
Natalie: Alright, alright. I knew you had something else in mind.
Natalie: It just so happens I'm feeling a bit lonely at home, so I'll take these two silly cats... Just to be clear, they'll sleep in your room at night...
KK: Ehn-ne-ne! Eha-na nah! (That's wonderful, Natalie! I knew you were the best officer! The best partner ever!)
Natalie: Tsk, you only say nice things to me when you want something. You bad Bangboo!
KK: Naa-na-nu-nhe! (You're the best, Natalie!)
