Dialogue
- (Talk to (SiblingSibling))
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), I just looked over the commission list, and we've only got a few pending commissions left. - (SiblingSibling): Fairy and I will handle the simple Inter-Knot commissions. You just focus on the last private commission that was assigned to (us!us! /
us.us.) - (SiblingSibling): You're already familiar with the middleman for this commission—it's Venus. The commission itself is simple, just locating an experimental device that's still under testing... By the way, there've been way too many people losing things lately...
No problem!
- (SiblingSibling): (Hey, WiseHey, Wise /
BelleBelle)... did you get a little too excited when you heard the name ("Venus"?!"Venus"?! / "Venus"?"Venus"?) - (SiblingSibling): Ahem... (Anyway!Anyway! /
Anyway,Anyway,) Venus is waiting for you at the usual spot. (WiseWise / BelleBelle), once you're ready, head over and meet up with her.
- (SiblingSibling): (Hey, WiseHey, Wise /
- It's been a while since we last got a commission from Venus.
- (SiblingSibling): Yeah, partly because we've been busy with other things, but also... to Venus, we're not exactly "rookie Proxies" anymore.
- (SiblingSibling): Anyway, Venus is waiting for you at the usual spot. (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), once you're ready, head over and meet up with her.
- The "usual spot" (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) mentioned should be the coffee shop...
Let's head over and meet "Venus" now!
- (Idle)
- Venus: How do I put this...
- (Talk to Venus)
- Venus: *sigh* ...How am I supposed to tell (himhim /
herher)... - What's troubling you, Venus?
- Did something happen to you, Venus?
- Venus: Huh?! Oh, it's you... I'm fine, it's just that commission I was planning to send you...
- Venus: The client canceled the commission... I'm really sorry for making you come all this way for nothing.
- What's going on?
- Why is it canceled?
- Venus: This commission was originally to retrieve a device, and the reward was quite generous! I knew you were really good at these kinds of search jobs, so I sent it to you right away.
- Venus: But just a little before you arrived, the client said, "The item's already been found by someone else, so there's no need to waste any more time"... and that's how the commission got canceled.
- Sounds like the item this client's looking for...
- He's not the only one looking for it.
- Venus: Yeah, I think so too... Ever since I started in this line of work, I've rarely seen a commission get canceled. I really have no idea what actually happened.
- Venus: How about... we take this chance to go for a walk, if you're not busy with anything else? Every time I came to Sixth Street, I was on business and left in a hurry after work was done. I've never found the right time to wander around.
- No problem! I'll be your guide!
- Venus, where do you want to go first?
- Venus: Let me think... How about we check out the newsstand nearby first? I want to grab a newspaper!
- And just like that, the cold commission, canceled as it was, is about to turn into a warm "half-day stroll on Sixth Street."
- You arrive at the newsstand together with Venus.
- (Talk to Venus)
Spur-of-the-Moment Schedule
Special Event
Spur-of-the-Moment Schedule
Story Description: Venus hits the jackpot on a scratch card, and then brings a newspaper and catches wind of some wild tabloid gossip. Just then, Dialyn rolls up and drops some important reminders about TOPS...
- Venus: Every time I stand in front of the newsstand, I can't help but want to buy a scratch card... even though my luck's never been great.
- My luck isn't very good either.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Well... I'm not sure if I should say this, but my luck... isn't all that great either.
- Venus: Maybe the two of us together will turn our bad luck into good luck~ Let's grab a scratch card and see what happens!
- My luck's not bad.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's ok, my luck's pretty good. When you're with me, surely some of it will rub off on you, too!
- Venus: Then I'm holding you to that~ Alright, let's scratch one and see!
- Venus nervously scratches off the silver layer on the card...
Wow! It's golden! - It's the ultra-rare grand prize!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's the ultra-rare grand prize! Looks like your luck is (better than you thoughtbetter than you thought /
pretty goodpretty good) after all! - Venus: This is our shared good luck. I buy a scratch card every time I come to the newsstand, and this is the first time I've ever seen the grand prize...
- Do you come to the newsstand often, Venus?
- I've never run into you here before.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Come to think of it... are you a regular at the newsstand, Venus? I don't think I've ever run into you here before.
- Venus: I usually buy newspapers from Grandma Eve at Lumina Square, so I don't come to the newsstand on Sixth Street very often.
- Venus: For intel brokers like us, and Proxies too, keeping up with current events is essential! If you want to become a great Proxy, make sure you remember this~
- Why do Proxies need to keep up with the news?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (HmmHmm /
UhUh)... I get that keeping up with the news is important, but what does that have to do with becoming a great Proxy? - Venus: Mhm~ See? That's where you're missing the bigger picture. TOPS, HIA, and even HSO all have some very capable Agents. These are hidden connections we normally wouldn't have access to!
- Venus: Before getting to know people like that, we can use the news to keep track of what they're up to. That way, when an opportunity to meet them comes up, we'll be ready to seize it!
- Wow...
- That makes a lot of sense.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Wow... That makes a lot of sense... Alright! I'll remember that!
- Venus: Mm‑hm. You've got a lot of potential as a Proxy, but as your guide, I can't help sharing a few tips now and then... so don't get annoyed at my unsolicited advice, okay...?
- Venus: Hm... Let me see... Is there anything noteworthy in today's news...
- Muttering to herself, Venus studies the newspaper carefully.
- You wonder if she's spotted some big news. Her expression starts to turn serious.
- Venus: Um... You haven't had any TOPS-related commissions lately, have you?
- Why do you ask?
- What's up with TOPS?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Why do you ask? Is something wrong with TOPS?
- Venus: Take a look at this: "TOPS plagued by internal mismanagement, confidential projects leaked. Internal investigations are underway..."
- Venus: Though TOPS-related commissions tend to pay very well, it's better to be cautious with their requests lately. Otherwise, I'd really worry about you...
- Dialyn: Those are all just baseless rumors~
- Dialyn?
- What brings you to Sixth Street?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Dialyn?Dialyn? /
Dialyn?!Dialyn?!) What are you doing on Sixth Street? - Dialyn: Hello Proxy~ Just think of me as taking a little stroll on Sixth Street while I'm off the clock!
- After greeting you with a cheerful smile, Dialyn gives Venus a meaningful look.
- Dialyn: Miss, the news you're reading... The reporter comes from a notorious, unscrupulous media outlet. All this nonsense is just clickbait.
- Venus: And this is...?
- She's my friend.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This... (ThisThis) is my friend. She's just passing through (Sixth StreetSixth Street) and stopped by to say hello.
- Venus: Oh... hello! You mean... this is fake news?
- Dialyn: It's not necessarily completely fake news, but it definitely exaggerates the facts.
- Dialyn: But... I do agree with your point. It's better not to get involved in TOPS' mess. One wrong move... and you might see things and people you're not supposed to.
- (Is Dialyn hinting at something?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I have a feeling there's more to what Dialyn (justjust) said... was she trying to hint at something?)
- Dialyn: What are you thinking, Proxy? If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. See you next time!
- After a brief farewell to Dialyn, you watch her disappear around the corner of the street.
- Venus: Your friend... has a strong personality...
- Venus: Anyway... She just said it's best not to get involved with TOPS, so you really need to be careful!
- Alright, alright.
- I promise.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, alright. I promise. I definitely won't do anything that will make you worry!
- Venus: That's good... Looks like there are people coming this way, let's go somewhere else!
Oh, right! It's in a hidden corner.Walking and talking all the way with Venus, you head toward the street corner...
From a distance, you hear a noisy crowd up ahead... It looks like the Carffiti corner already has other "visitors."
- (Idle)
- Impatient Company Employee: No way! I can't find anyone anywhere!
- Calm Company Employee: Tch... Are we too late?
- (Talk to Impatient Company Employee)
- Impatient Company Employee: Hey! Who are you guys? What are you doing here?
- Calm Company Employee: Why are you shouting at passersby like that? My apologies... my colleague has run into some... trouble and is a bit on edge right now. Please forgive his behavior.
- Desperate Company Employee: Run! Luther's already been taken by those judges... If we don't get out of here, we'll be next!
- Venus: Wait... the Luther you just mentioned, do you mean Mr. Luther Vukovich?
- Calm Company Employee: ...Ma'am, how do you know Luther? Or rather... where did you hear that name?
- Someone you know, Venus?
- Looks like he's in big trouble.
- Venus: Ah, no... I wouldn't say I know him... Actually, he's the client who canceled this commission.
- Impatient Company Employee: What?! You... you're the middleman Luther sent for? Where is it?! Where's the thing he wanted?!
- Venus: Huh? Didn't he... cancel the commission? The last time he contacted me, he said the item had already been found by someone else...
- Calm Company Employee: Can you calm down for a second!
Ma'am, I sincerely apologize on Luther's behalf for the canceled commission and the trouble it caused you. - Calm Company Employee: We're Luther's colleagues. He... made some mistakes during his work, so he issued a commission to retrieve the lost item, and later canceled it due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Calm Company Employee: Now that the commission's been canceled, there's no need for you to worry about our matters... You're probably here for something else, right? We won't keep you any longer.
- The only calm man grabbed the other two and quickly departed from the corner...
- (Talk to Venus)
- Venus: Sure enough, my luck's awful... We're just taking a simple walk, and yet we run into these unexpected things...
- It's not your fault.
- Luck's got nothing to do with it.
- Venus: Mm... Don't worry, I'm not gonna spiral into self-blame so easily.
- Venus: I'm a bit concerned about what they just said... Even though the client and I only met briefly, with something like this happening, it's hard not to worry about his safety...
- That's human nature, and also...
- Venus, you are a very gentle person.
- Venus: Eh? Why are you suddenly saying something so embarrassing... N-No, you can't say things like that to me!
- Venus: Oh, I just remembered something. A few days ago, a newbie came looking for me, saying he wanted to become a qualified Proxy. He said... You were the one who sent him my way.
- Yeah, it was me.
- Venus: Almost slipped my mind... Anyway, thanks for sending the newbie my way. I'll do everything I can to help him out!
- It was someone else with the same username.
- Venus: Huh, is that so? No... I don't know anyone else with the same username as you! Don't joke with me like that... Anyway, thank you for introducing the newbie. I'll do everything I can to help him out!
- Venus: Mm... Let's call it a day. The number of commissions lately has been several times what we used to get. You've probably been working non-stop for days, so why not use this time to rest?
- Venus: Balance is key, you know!
- Yeah, I will.
- Make sure you get some rest too.
- Venus: Alright, let's head back then! I will make sure to have an even better commission ready for you next time.
- After saying goodbye to Venus, you return to the video store...
- (Talk to (SiblingSibling))

One Last Job
Story Description: Back at the video store, you fill (BelleBelle /
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)? Why are you back so soon? Did something go wrong with the commission? - The commission was canceled.
- Something a bit concerning came up.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Well...Well...) The client canceled the commission at the last minute due to personal reasons. Venus and I also came across a few things today that raised some concerns...
- You tell (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) in detail everything that happened today while you were with Venus. - (SiblingSibling): ...Fairy, can you find anything based on (Wise's descriptionWise's description /
what Belle just saidwhat Belle just said)? - Fairy: Searching now...
- Fairy: Deep search completed as requested by Second Assistant. The results have been compiled and are ready for your review, Master.
- A tech company?
- Ether Collector?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let me see... A tech company, and (it looks like they're applying for a patent for something called... anit looks like they're applying for a patent for something called... an /
a patent they're about to file for something calleda patent they're about to file for something called) Ether Collector? - Fairy: Comparison complete: the structure design shown in the blueprint shares a 91% match with the Ethereal Decoy in your possession, and can be classified as the same item.
- Who would've thought...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I didn't expect to find a lead about the Ethereal Decoy (in a placein a place) like this.
- (SiblingSibling): So that means these Ether Collectors, still under development, were deliberately funneled into Inter-Knot... and sold to contestants in the Hollow Champion contest?
- (SiblingSibling): Was Venus's commission canceled because... the item the client was looking for is in our possession?
- Fairy: According to publicly available TOPS records, the company has entered liquidation proceedings, and all mid- to [sic] senior-level researchers, including Luther Vukovich, are currently under investigation.
- Fairy: The specific reasons have not been disclosed.
- (SiblingSibling): So that "rumor" in the newspaper might actually have some truth to it after all... and Dialyn showing up on Sixth Street was probably no coincidence either...
- (SiblingSibling): (These past few commissions have all been tied to the Hollow Champion contest and TOPS one way or another... and the Agents who entered the Hollow even ran into that weirdo again...These past few commissions have all been tied to the Hollow Champion contest and TOPS one way or another... and the Agents who entered the Hollow even ran into that weirdo again...

- Then let's leave it at that.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Now that the commissions are all finished, we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves over something unnecessary. After all... Phaethon is an independent Proxy. Let's just leave it (at thatat that).
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'll pass the information about the Ethereal Decoy to Rain later. How she handles it is up to her.
- (SiblingSibling): *sigh* ...I just wanted to get back to that simple, fulfilling life of a Proxy, and yet we almost got pulled into another mess. Doesn't New Eridu have any ordinary commissions left for an average Proxy to just enjoy life...
- Careful what you say...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Ahem... (Belle, beBelle, be /
Wise,Wise,) careful what you say... What we've been doing (latelylately / these past few daysthese past few days) isn't exactly... the kind of video store business we can talk about out loud.

Even though there were quite a few unexpected twists today, everything we went through together really meant a lot to me~
