Dialogue

Prologue

Day 1

(Idle): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder~ Those who use it love it~

(Talk to Tina)

Tina: Hey there, (‍cool guy / darling‍), do you do laundry at home? Come try our White Palm Laundry Powder — the all-new brand that you can trust~

You don't look like you work here...

(Continue commission)

Thanks, but I'm not interested.

(Exit dialogue)

Tina: Heehee, you got me~ Actually, I stumbled upon this high-paying part-time gig and here I am. It's only for three days, anyway.

A well-paying part-time gig?

Tina: Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now. I just need to hold up this sign and shout out the slogan, and I'll get 150,000 Dennies for three hours' work, paid daily~

How much did you just say?!

150,000?! For three hours' work!

Tina: Tee-hee, I was shocked too when I first heard about it. I've never seen any gig paying so well. It's so much more than I could ever make working at the bakery! Oh wait, I gotta do this thing first, wait right here.

Tina: *ahem* White Palm Laundry Powder! Three steps left then three steps right. Wave that flag so high and white!

What a weird slogan...

Don't tell me that's meant to be the slogan...?

Tina: The client told me to clearly shout this slogan whenever someone asks about it. I don't quite get it, but perhaps it's teaching people how to wash their clothes properly...

I'm not sure either...

I use a fully-automated washing machine...

Tina: Doesn't matter! Who cares when there's money to be made~ Too bad it's just for three days, then it's back to the bakery for me...

Tina: No, no! I'll be pocketing so much that I won't have to work for a while. After these three days, it's time to relax for me. Teehee...

(Idle): Tina: Please support White Palm Laundry Powder~

(Talk to Tina again, optional): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder! Three steps left then three steps right. Wave that flag so high and white!; Why'd she say that again...; Tina: Well, it can't be helped. The boss is making me say it once every time someone comes up to talk to me!

Day 2

(Idle): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder~ Those who use it love it~

(Talk to Tina): Tina: Hey there, you're back~ Don't tell me... all that slogan yelling from yesterday actually worked? You should give it a try! White Palm Laundry Powder — the all-new brand that you can trust~; New indeed, I've never heard of it.; Can I be honest with you? I've never heard of this brand...; Tina: Actually... I'd never heard of it either, nor seen it in any stores. It probably just came out, and that's why they're promoting it... But hey, as long as it pays well!; Still getting 150k Dennies for your three hours today?; Still getting the same pay today?; Tina: No, today's pay is no longer 150,000... It's 200,000! Tee-hee! I just stand here for three hours, and I get 200,000 Dennies!; How is it possible that such a sweet gig exists?!; That pay is good — suspiciously good...; Tina: Maybe I got lucky, I guess. I was sitting there daydreaming on the bench near the movie theater when this guy came up looking for someone to hold up a sign for him. He said the pay was going to be high, but there were also a few requirements. Such as...; Tina: You have to be a girl between 15 and 25 years old. You have to have pink pigtails. You have to have golden pupils. Hmm... and you have to wear an orange bow!; Tina: And I thought, I fit the conditions just perfectly! So I applied right then and there → got hired on the spot → and started working immediately~; That sounds too suspicious!; That's so sus that I lost count of the red flags!; Tina: Oh yeah, I almost forgot! White Palm Laundry Powder! Through murky swamps past rusty gates, White Palm Powder leaves no trace!; Is that a new slogan?; Hang on. Why did the slogan change?; Tina: The client told me to use a new slogan today, and that there will be another slogan for tomorrow. But I'm not a fan of the new slogan... Is it trying to say that even if your clothes get stained and filthy, they'll still be easily washed clean?; Maybe... But I feel like there's more to it...; I think there might be more to it...; Tina: Oh, and besides you, there're some tough-looking guys who come by to check the sign. It's kinda weird how they stick around like they're waiting for me to say the slogan or something... But it's whatever, as long as I'm getting paid~; (Something seems fishy about this client that Tina keeps mentioning, but holding a sign shouldn't be dangerous... There'll be a new slogan tomorrow, I'll check on her again then.)

(Talk to Tina again, optional): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder! Through murky swamps past rusty gates, White Palm Powder leaves no trace!; There she goes again.; Tina: You didn't just stop by expecting me to say it again, did you...?

Day 3

(Idle): Radio: We interrupt this broadcast for a Public Security announcement...

(Interact with the Radio by the Sofa): (Why's the radio on? I guess (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) forgot to turn it off this morning...); Radio: We have reports that the notorious criminal group White Palm, which has been inactive for many years, is now mounting a full comeback.; (That's a name that sounds familiar... "White Palm"...); Radio: This criminal group is ruthless and cunning, robbing supplies from HIA routes and stashing them in the Hollows. They exploit unsuspecting citizens to pass coded messages.; Radio: Public Security urges all citizens to come forward with any information on White Palm. Keeping the peace in New Eridu starts with you and me...; (I knew it, that's not a laundry powder brand, it's the criminal group, White Palm! I have to tell Tina!)

(Idle): Radio: Reporting... clues...

Tell Tina the truth about White Palm

Commission Description

Turns out that White Palm is not a brand of laundry detergent at all. Tell Tina the truth as she is still doing promotion at Lumina Square without knowing anything about it.

Lumina Square

(Idle): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder~ Those who use it love it~

(Talk to Tina): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder~ Those who use it love it~; I've got some bad news. You're in trouble!; This "White Palm"... it's no good!; Tina: Huh?! What's wrong? Is there a problem with the quality of the laundry powder? Th—that's nothing to do with me. You had to be using it wrong!; You tell Tina about what you heard on the radio.; Tina: That's... I... I don't believe it! Anyone who's willing to pay me so much is clearly an angel. How could he be a bad guy...? He even said that today's an important day, so he was doubling my pay again to 500,000 Dennies!; Tina: It has to be a coincidence! They just happen to share the same name! Think about how many people or businesses in this world share the same name... I can ask him to go to Public Security with me for a statement or something when he pays me today...; Tina: But as for now! Don't try to trick me into abandoning my post with this news of yours. I'm gonna finish my job. And let me be clear, it has NOTHING to do with the 500,000 Dennies!; (Looks like that's the way it's going to be for now. If this "client" is willing to go to Public Security... perhaps it really is all just one big coincidence.); Tina: Wait, don't go! I haven't said today's slogan yet! White Palm Laundry Powder! Left hand grips the black pen tight. Right hand holds a pillow white~; (Remember, the past three days of slogans include... three steps left then three steps right... through murky swamps past rusty gates... a black pen and a white pillow...); Ah!; Tina: Ah! You startled me! What now?; It's nothing!; (So that's what's happening. The radio said that they hid everything they stole in the Hollows... They must be using this code to communicate the latest hiding spots. Search the HDD for similar places to quickly ascertain the location!); (Go check it out. If you're lucky, you might be able to score some loot before Public Security arrives.)

(Idle): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder... If you've used it...

(Talk to Tina again, optional): Tina: White Palm Laundry Powder... If you've used it, you've used it. I never said it's good~ Don't hit me up if anything goes wrong~; (Letting her stand here might not actually be such a bad idea... I'll slip into the Hollow and handle the dangerous work.)

Head to the Hollow and defeat the White Palm villains

Step Description

You have discovered the White Palm's hidden stash. Now go defeat the villains!

Old Town District

(Talk to the White Palm Guard)

White Palm Guard: Hang on...

White Palm Guard: Richard Teamilk is very sweet.

?

...

White Palm Guard: You're supposed to say "I love you and you love me!" You don't know the code. You're not one of us! Who are you and what are you doing here!

White Palm Guard: Don't tell me... that girl with the pigtails has seen through our plan...? Hmph, looks like we'll have to find a new "contact"... But that's going to have to wait until we take care of you lot.

The guard draws out his weapon as he tells you his entire plan. It looks like this is where the slogans were directing them to hide the supplies.

The loot is no longer of importance. For the sake of Tina's safety, they must all be defeated. Public Security can take care of the rest.

(The Agent dodges the guard's attack)

(After the conversation): White Palm Guard: We gotta get rid of that girl...; White Palm Guard: You, too!

Talk to Tina

Step Description

You have wiped out the White Palm gang in the Hollow. It is time to check on Tina.

Lumina Square

(Idle): Tina: Where is he?

(Talk to Tina): Tina: Where is he?; Tina: Where's the client? Where's my 500,000? How could he stiff me like this!; He'll never be coming back.; Tina: What's going on? Is this a joke? Did the client just run away with my money? Did I work those three hours today for nothing? My 500,000 Dennies... all gone?!; Be happy with what you got — that's 350,000 Dennies!; You already got a whole bunch of Dennies!; Tina: That... That's not the same! This is income legally derived from my gainful employment! No, I won't accept this. I'm going to report him to Public Security!; You really should go do that.; Let Public Security get to the bottom of things!; And just like that, Tina runs to the precinct holding the White Palm sign. That sign is going to become an important piece of criminal evidence.; And the hefty paycheck she earned over the past few days might just be considered ill-gotten gains, and might get confiscated...

Epilogue

(Idle): Radio: We interrupt this broadcast for a Public Security announcement...

(Interact with the Radio): (The radio's on, again? I gotta remind (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) to turn that thing off...); Radio: We have received reports that core members from the White Palm criminal group have been apprehended with the full force of Public Security. Arriving at the criminal hideout, officers discovered the guards had already been knocked out by an unknown Samaritan.; Radio: Also, an enthusiastic citizen provided vital clues that helped officers quickly locate the remaining criminals. This citizen refused a tempting offer from the gang of a large sum of Dennies, opting instead to turn over the entire sum of ill-gotten gains to the authorities.; Radio: For this, Public Security has awarded the citizen with a commendation as a token of appreciation. However, their identity shall remain anonymous out of safety concerns.; ("Turning it in voluntarily," huh... I hope Tina can pull herself together from the blow of missing out on such a huge payday. She's actually got a good thing going at the bakery.)
