Piper seems to need your help. Check the DM she sent you.

Proxy, do you have the video collection of recent job recruitment ads?

I think that videotape is called... We Need You?

I've not very busy lately, so I'm looking for a fun part-time job

REPLY

Oh, the compilation of recruitment programs, right? I'll go look for it

I'll keep an eye out for you

Thanks~

 Find "We Need You"

Piper wants to watch "We Need You." Help her find it.

 Read Piper's DM

Piper appears to be on Sixth Street. Check her DM.

Steeltusk's getting fixed up, so I'm lounging around Sixth Street...

Those Sixth Street benches are uncomfortable for someone of my advanced years

Mind if I crash on your couch for a bit?

REPLY

Come right over!

Go for it!

See you at the store soon then

 Wait for Piper to pick it up

---

Piper said she'll pick up "We Need You" later. Wait for her to swing by.

(Wait until the next in-game day)

 Watch the Videotape with Piper

Piper's near the video store. Go meet her.

Sixth Street

Piper: Steeltusk's repairs still need a little more time...

Story Description: You watched "We Need You" with Piper, and talked about the jobs she did "back in the day." ...Ethereal sculpting seems a little over the top.

Piper: *sigh* You take good care of me, Proxy. Such a good kid~ I really wish our gang could learn from you.

I'm free right now...

You watch the latest movie, "We Need You" with Piper...
It really does go through lots of different job descriptions in it.

Piper: Hmm... I originally planned to find a part-time job because I've been quite free recently, but I didn't expect all the jobs to be so serious...

Piper: Times have really changed. The jobs I did when I was young seem to have all disappeared.

Such as?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What jobs have you (‍done?done?Text for Wise / done before, Piper?done before, Piper?Text for Belle‍)

Piper: Well... There was once a client who requested an Ethereal sculpture *chuckling* What a strange commission, right?

Piper: What's that saying, something about wisdom? Anyway, I was quite sharp back then.

Piper: I drove a refrigerated truck into a Hollow, captured an Ethereal and locked it inside, then drove the truck out. That gave me an ice mold of an Ethereal.

Piper: Oh, and uh, I once remodeled an RV... but in the end I forgot to leave space for the kitchen...

Piper: Sigh... Thankfully, that old RV was beat-up and old enough...

Piper: Even after all these years, I can still hear the noise of its engine growling like a grizzly old man.

Piper: I've modded the hood so that once you drive for a while, you can fry an egg on it.

Piper: Nowadays it'd probably be considered a trendy open-plan kitchen... Very chic.

So many different experiences...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍There really aren't those kinds of jobs around these days...There really aren't those kinds of jobs around these days...Text for Wise / It all sounds so exciting!

Piper: Things are changing so rapidly. So many jobs are being outsourced to Bangboo. Luckily, their short legs mean as a driver, my job's still safe...

Piper: When long-legged Bangboo come out, I could lose my job. Could I crash on your sofa if that happens, Proxy?

Let me think about it...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍You'll have to work to pay sofa rent.You'll have to work to pay sofa rent.Text for Wise / I thought you'd at least say, "Let me work at the video store for ya!"I thought you'd at least say, "Let me work at the video store for ya!"Text for Belle‍)

Piper: Ah... I'm almost old enough to retire and enjoy my old age. Please don't make things difficult for me.

Piper: I'll go to the newsstand across the street to scratch off lottery tickets for you every day when the time comes. I used to buy betting tickets at the horse races, and I was pretty lucky.

Piper: It's a deal!

(Piper can now promote the video store)

(Idle)

Piper: I'll go back later...

(Talk to Piper again, optional)

Piper: Don't worry about me. I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket and try my luck.
