Profile

Kahkiboo is a tailor by trade and seeks out "charm" in all things, using his Charm-Reading Monocle monocle to calculate the charm of people he comes across. He ranks Phaethon at 98, just below "Sunbringer", who he considers the pinnacle of charm in Roscaelifer. He is the the foremost authority on Bangboo fashion because of this, but he is still humble enough to accept insights from those he sees as being particularly charming. He is also able to make clothing for humans to, but finds the idea of making Bangboo

Talking to Kahkiboo for the first time unlocks his profile on Interboo/Special District Archives.

History

Kahkiboo has been seeking out "charm" since Roscaelifer's founding, putting him at over 100 years old. He originally was a "lowly Bangboo" with a tailoring program installed, being scorned by his peers due to his low rank. Sunbringer eventually abolished the old heirarchy where Bangboo were ranked in society based on their pre-existing function, allowing Kahkiboo to learn the art of fashion from experts in the field. After years of study, he became the pinnacle of Bangboo fashion, and was sought out by numerous individuals from across the field, earning numerous awards and certificates for his contributions to the fashion world.

At some point in time, he opened Chic Bootique, where he continues to work as its propieter to this day.

Dialogue

(Talk to Kahkiboo, Mon 6PM)
(A short cutscene plays): Kahkiboo: Wuh-neh... wuh-nah (Your taste... isn't bad. I'll give it a 90); Kahkiboo: Wuh-neh-na! (You're just a Chic Bootique away from full marks!)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne! Wuh-ne-ne! (By Lady Sunbringer! My dear, radiant guest, your presence has truly brought honor to this humble boutique!)

Sorry, are you talking to me?

That's awfully formal of you.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne! Wuh-ne-ne! (No need for modesty, dear guest! Such impeccable manners are the very definition of modern-day Charm!)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne! (I am Kahkiboo. I have devoted myself to the study of Charm since Roscaelifer's founding. I have met countless souls, and I never offer empty praise!)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne! (Your Charm nearly rivals Lady Sunbringer herself, the very pinnacle of Charm in Roscaelifer. Such a thing is a rarity in any age!)

I'm flattered, but Lady Sunbringer and I...

That's far more praise than I deserve.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne! Neh-wuh-ne! (My Charm-Reading Monocle is the final authority, and it places your Charm at a solid 98!)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne-ne? (It is an honor to welcome you. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name, dear guest?)

I'm (‍Wise / Belle‍). Nice to meet you!

But you can ease up on the compliments next time...

Kahkiboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (Every word is true! I suspect you attract attention wherever you go. That is the unseen power of Charm at work!)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne-wuh-ne?! (Wait! Did (‍Mr. Wise / Miss Belle‍), with Charm of 98, just invite me to meet again "next time"?!)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-wuh-ne! Neh-wuh-ne-wuh-ne! (What an honor for Chic Bootique! Please return whenever you wish and grace me with your guidance. I shall be waiting!)

I really wouldn't call it guidance...

But that's okay. I'll come by again!

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne. Wuh-ne-ne-ne! (Then it is settled, (‍Mr. Wise / Miss Belle‍)! With your support, Chic Bootique will become an even greater authority on Charm!)

(Talk to Kahkiboo, 6AM - 12PM)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne-ne. (I never expected (‍Mr. Wise / Miss Belle‍), with Charm of 98, to grace my humble boutique. Forgive my poor welcome. I have been wrestling with a design dilemma.)

Don't worry about it. What's on your mind?

Anything I can do to help?

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne-wuh-ne. (Lately, I have been studying "deconstructivist" fashion. Put simply, its defining trait is asymmetry.)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, neh-wuh-ne, wuh-ne... (You remove fabric from where it normally belongs and place it somewhere unexpected, creating a deliberate sense of design...)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne, wuh-wuh-ne... (That is how most designers approach it. But as a scholar of fashion, I want to uncover what "asymmetry" truly means beneath the surface...)

That sounds pretty involved.

Found anything yet?

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, neh-wuh-ne, wuh-ne... (From my observations, everything created by "nature" is symmetrical, while "unnatural" creations are not...)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne. (I fear "asymmetry" may be perceived as a sign of mutation.)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne. (For example, humans are symmetrical, while most Ethereals are not.)

Well... humans aren't perfectly symmetrical.

Yet the Bangboos created by Lady Sunbringer are perfectly symmetrical.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-wuh-ne. ((‍Mr. Wise / Miss Belle‍), your words have opened my eyes! Yes, yes, I understand completely. Just as I would expect from someone with Charm of...)

Stop, stop! Don't start on that again!

First tell me what you think you understood.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne. ("The Dialectics of Fashion Deconstruction.")

Kahkiboo: Wuh-wuh-ne-wuh-ne... (Perhaps symmetry and asymmetry are complementary states of consciousness. Once an old order is dissolved, its very definition may be reconstructed, and beneath the outer form lies a reflection of one's inner emotions...)

Uh... sorry, I didn't understand a word of that.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne-wuh-ne. (Pay no mind to my rambling, (‍Mr. Wise / Miss Belle‍), possessor of Charm of 98. I merely wished to speak from the heart while I had the chance.)

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne. (So all I need from you is this: do you favor symmetry or asymmetry?)

Asymmetry has more personality.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne? (I see. Then may I stand forever at your side as a fashionable accessory, adding just a touch of asymmetry to your look?)

Perhaps symmetry is more elegant.

Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne? (I see. Then might my perfectly symmetrical frame serve as a fashionable accessory, lending you a touch of elegance?)

(Talk to Kahkiboo, 6PM): Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne! (Fashion lovers, today we have the honor of speaking with Kahkiboo, Roscaelifer's most celebrated "Charm Artist"!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne! (Kahkiboo, would you like to say hello to our viewers?); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne. ("Charm Makes the Bangboo!" Hello, everyone. I am Kahkiboo.); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! ("Charm Makes the Bangboo!" What a line! Haha! Speaking of which, I hear you've got quite the mysterious past, Master Kahkiboo!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ne? (You must have devoted a great deal to your pursuit of Charm. How did you earn four different expert-level certificates and awards?); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne, neh-ne-ehn-ne? (Could you tell us about that journey and share a few tips for success with our art-loving viewers?); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne-ne! (I believe the single most important key to success is hard work!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn... ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ne... (Well, that's quite obvious... Ahem! So, hard work, is it? What a sincere and entirely predictable answer. Haha...); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne-ne! (Still, for all your eager viewers, could you reveal a little more about your legendary experiences that no one knows about?); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne-wuh-ne... (Looking back, I was once an unknown Bangboo with nothing but a tailoring program, wandering from place to place and enduring the scorn of my peers...); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne-wuh, neh-wuh-ne... (Only after the wise and mighty Lady Sunbringer abolished that flawed hierarchy, where one's assigned function determined rank, did I gain the chance to learn from masters across the arts...); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-wuh-ne-ne... (For years I toiled without rest. While others recharged, I devoted every moment to my studies...); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne? (Ahem. Did it never occur to you to study while recharging?); Kahkiboo: ... (...); Kahkiboo: Wuh-wuh-ne, wuh-ne! (In any case, I eventually mastered every artistic field, from Bangboos to humans, from machines to living beings, and began making my mark in the academic world!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne-ne! (Wow! I still have no idea what you actually did, but I'm sure it was an extraordinary journey!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne? (So how did you win four different awards and reach the absolute peak of Bangboo life?); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-ne-ne! (That was the dawn of the Art of Charm. Without exaggeration, I was the pioneer of that era!); Kahkiboo: Wuh-wuh-ne, wuh-ne-wuh-ne. (Naturally, every expert wanted to be associated with a once-in-a-generation rising star like me, so the awards and certificates practically came knocking on my door.); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! (Impressive! So in the end, you rode the wave of your era all the way to the top, Master Kahkiboo!); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne! Wuh-ne-ne-wuh-ne! (Hmph! I didn't just ride a wave. I worked for it! An—And even if there was a wave... only those who are prepared can catch it!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! (Exactly! So viewers, stay prepared and be the first to catch the next wave before it passes you by!); Tabloid Reporter Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! (Master Kahkiboo, thank you so much for the interview! I've learned so much from talking with you!)

(Talk to Passing Human, 12AM): Passing Human: Excuse me, do you make custom clothing for humans too?; Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne. Wuh-ne-wuh-ne. (Of course. I can tailor clothing for the human form. I may be a Bangboo, but human aesthetics are no mystery to me.); Kahkiboo: Wuh-wuh-ne, neh-wuh, wuh-ne. (We're closed for the day, but I'll make an exception and stay open a little longer for you. Consider it a gesture of goodwill.); Passing Human: Then... could I commission an outfit for a Bangboo too?; Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-wuh-ne-ne. (Naturally. Bangboo outfits made by Chic Bootique can raise a Bangboo's Charm dramatically.); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-ne, neh-wuh-ne. (If it's for your Bangboo friend, I'd gladly work a little longer.); Passing Human: Actually, I meant... can you make a Bangboo outfit for a human?; Passing Human: You know... something made for a human, but convincing enough that anyone who saw me in it, human or Bangboo, would think I was a real Bangboo?; Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne, wuh-wuh-ne! (You are a guest with bold ideas... but those ideas are dangerous!); Kahkiboo: Wuh-ne-wuh-wuh-ne! (As a responsible business owner, I hereby declare Chic Bootique permanently closed to you, effective immediately!)
