Dialogue
Chat with Roger at Lumina Square
- (Idle)
- Snek: Finally, found you!
- (Talk to Snek)
- Snek: Whew... There you are! Great, let's get back to the crew. Everyone's been waiting for you!
- Roger: ...
Is this your Bangboo?
- (Continue commission)
Ignore him
- (Exit dialogue)
- Snek: To be precise, it's our crew's Bangboo. The name's Snek, and I'm the assistant director of an improv group.
- Snek: We're working on adapting something for film, ever heard of the novel "Rainy Nights, Sunny Dreams"? It's a story about this pair of star-crossed lovers who go against their families and pursue love — at all costs!
- Nope.
- Snek: Hmm... Makes sense. After all, it's a classic old novel with very, uh... wordy and cliche lines — but that doesn't affect its potential for adaptation! You've probably heard of the most famous trope, right? A marriage proposal in the rain?
- I have a vague memory.
- Snek: Teehee, I mean it's a classic old novel with very, uh... wordy and cliche lines — but even nowadays, everybody knows the famous trope from it: A marriage proposal in the rain!
- Snek: The heroine is grounded by her stubborn dad, so the hero asks his friend to link his consciousness up to a Bangboo unit. He pilots this Bangboo through a thunderous rainy night over to our heroine's mansion, where he sincerely confesses his deep love outside her window...
- Snek: Well, this Bangboo's acting out this part of the episode, so we limited its language system such that it could only playback a few pre-recorded voice lines.
- So it was just reading out lines from a script!
- Snek: Yup. It's set up not to speak their "Ehn-nah" language but instead just repeat a few pre-recorded voice lines.
- Snek: Wait up... Don't tell me you've already heard those lines? That's a trade secret! But whatever... Never mind. Just make sure you don't leak anything.
- Snek: Alright, let's go then, Number One. And don't be leaking any more trade secrets, okay.
- "Roger": I'm Roger.
- Snek: No, "Roger" is the male lead in the script. You don't have a name, we all just call you "No. 1 Bangboo". Remember?
- "Roger": I'm Roger.
- I don't think it... recognizes you.
- Is this some kind of trick...?
- Snek: No no, no way. This really is our crew's Bangboo! I... This... Hey, Number One! Look over here, it's me: Assistant Director Snek!
- Let's go to the Public Security.
- Let's go across to Public Security and smooth things over.
- Snek: Don't. That's only going to wind them up! It's a trade secret... *sigh* I'll level with you: It's probably like that because it entered the Hollows...
- Snek: Here's the story: During our last shoot, the director, on a complete whim, decided we should film a scene in a Hollow. Unsurprisingly, a bunch of Hollow Raiders immediately had their eyes on us.
- Snek: Luckily we had a Hollow Raider bodyguard of our own, so all the actors and equipment were safe and sound — except for these two Bangboo which fell into those thugs' hands. One was it, and the other was a backup called "No. 2 Bangboo" which was largely immaterial.
- Immaterial?
- Snek: Well, that backup didn't have any lines saved to it. But I'd spend three whole days searching for Number One without any luck, and never thought I'd see its GPS beacon lighting up at Lumina Square. Seemed like it was free from those Hollow Raiders!
- Snek: However, escaping the clutches of those dastardly Hollow Raiders' is one thing, but Number One ended up significantly corrupted. Mistaking lines as commands, it's fantasizing about a non-existent lover in the non-existent rain.
- Snek: Do you get it? I'm not lying here, it's a bug! To be blunt, it's only just a little robot with bunny rabbit ears. What does it know about love?
- "Roger": I don't care what anyone thinks just as I don't care whether or not the sky falls in — tomorrow will still be there. All I care about right now is whether the owner of that name cares as much about me right now.
- "Roger": Yes, that's right. Every morning when I wake up in bed, my heart belongs only to the one called "Mia".
- Suddenly, a put-on cutesy voice pops up in a pink bubble inside your head:
"A Bangboo's lover has got to be another Bangboo!" - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Snek mentioned two Bangboo. Could it be the other one is Roger's "Mia"?)
- Where did the Hollow Raiders attack your crew?
- Do you have the approximate coordinates of where you were attacked?
- Snek: Sure sure, won't hurt to tell you. But if you're trying to grab a script that we left behind in our panic, I can tell you for free you should give up now.
- Snek: A professional like me wrapped it around my belt while I was fleeing for my life!
- And so, you obtained the coordinates of where the attack happened.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Let's go into the Hollow and take a look. Perhaps we can find No. 2 Bangboo.)
- (Idle)
- Snek: What'll it take for you to come with me?
- (Talk to Snek again, optional)
- Snek: What'll it take for you to come with me, Number One?
- "Roger": I'm Roger.
Head to the designated location to find "Mia"
Main article: Where You Quit, They Persist
- (Upon starting the commission)
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): (There's a lot of guys blocking the way ahead. Let's send 'em running.There's a lot of guys blocking the way ahead. Let's send 'em running. /
There're a lot of bad guys up ahead... Let's get rid of them.There're a lot of bad guys up ahead... Let's get rid of them.)
- (Defeat the first group of enemies)
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): (Good. Let's keep going.Good. Let's keep going. /
Great! Let's keep going!Great! Let's keep going!)
- (Defeat the second group)
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): (We're close to the target location. Let's keep moving!We're close to the target location. Let's keep moving! /
We're close to the target location! Keep going!We're close to the target location! Keep going!)
- (Defeat the third group)
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): I don't see any Bangboo around...
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): (Ah, could it be in that box?Ah, could it be in that box? /
Ah! Is there something in that box?Ah! Is there something in that box?)
- (Interact with the Discarded Box)
- Chest: There's a chest with lots of spare parts in it and inside of it lies... a badly damaged Bangboo with much of its componentry dismantled.
- Chest: This might just be "Roger"'s "Mia". Let's take it back.
Chat with Snek
- (Idle)
- Snek: What'll it take for you to come with me?
- (Talk to Snek)
- Snek: What'll it take for you to come with me... *sigh* I would've picked you up and ran off with you ages ago if I wasn't scared of making such a scene!
- Roger: Threats cannot shake me one bit — they only make my desire to be with you even stronger.
- Snek: Please, stop reading your lines!
- About that damaged Bangboo...
- How's the crew going to handle it?
- Snek: Hmm... Let's just scrap it and buy a new one. Our improv group is loaded! The director would just tear into us for wasting his time if we sent one off to get fixed. Why do you ask?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (If you hand over this broken "Mia", it'll definitely be sent for scrap.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Then "Roger" is never going to see its "Mia" again. Gotta think carefully here...)
- Here you go. Here's your so-called "No. 2 Bangboo".
- Snek: Hmm... Seems like it's ours indeed. But it got lost down in the Hollow... How did you... Don't tell me... You're a Hollow Raider!
- Snek: Just kidding! I bet it escaped all by itself like this Bangboo. But there's no need to fix something this broken, I'll just take it back to the crew for scrapping.
- ...
- Roger looks at the busted-up Bangboo in Snek's hands and huddles over toward Snek.
- Snek: Hmm? Are you coming with me now? That's great! Could it be... that you're attracted to this broken Bangboo? Did you guys develop feelings for each other?
- Snek: Just kidding about that, too! Anyway, how could that ever be true. Let's not keep everyone waiting. Let's go!
- Snek: Ah, thanks for your help. Remember to come watch the movie when it comes out.
- And with that, Snek left with the Bangboo in hand. A note inadvertently slips out of his pocket that seems to be a prompt for his lines.
- M: Who's that? Who's there? ...Is that you?
R: Don't worry, darling. It is me, Roger.
M: My dear Roger, what's happened to you...
R: My body might be smaller, but my love for you has not diminished an iota, my dear Mia.
M: Are you here to take me away from here, forever?
R: Yes, I promise — but not this time. The rain is so heavy, whether it's you or me... There's nowhere left to hide. - M: I understand. Father's rage is like this ceaseless rain, and I feel as though I'm losing the courage to last until it clears to blue skies...
R: Threats cannot shake me one bit — they only make my desire to be with you even stronger.
R: I don't care what anyone thinks just as I don't care whether or not the sky falls in — or if tomorrow will still exist.
R: All I care about right now is whether the owner of that name cares as much about me right now.
R: Yes, that's right. Every morning when I wake up in bed, my heart belongs only to the one called "Mia".
R: Mia, I love you, more than you love yourself! - R: Listen to me. I know this might sound sudden, but it's important I get this off my chest before I'm swept away in a maelstrom of prejudice and malice.
M: The rain's so loud I can't hear you, Roger!
R: Mia, listen to me... I love you! Will you marry me?
M: What's that? The rain's too heavy! I can't even see you anymore, are you still there? Roger!
R: ...It's alright. I'll tell you once more when you can hear — no, I'll tell you a thousand times. I know you won't say no.
R: I'll be right here beside you until that rain stops, my Mia. Right here... I'm not going anywhere. That way you'll be able to see me as soon as the sun comes out. - R: Until then, we'll be together forever, eloping together, til we meet our deaths.
- (Commission ends)
- It's nothing! (Maybe there's another way)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Enzo might have a way to patch up Mia, or at least save it from the scrap heap. Let's go ask him.)
Talk to Enzo about fixing "Mia"
- (Idle)
- Enzo: Whew... Sure did get through a lot of orders today...
- (Talk to Enzo near Turbo Remodeling Shop)
- Enzo: Hey, it's (WiseWise /
BelleBelle). Can't a guy take a hard-earned break and steal half a moment's rest without getting busted by ya, ha! - Help! Could you please take a look at this Bangboo?
- I've got a very badly beat-up Bangboo here with me...
- Enzo: What's up, need a Bangboo repaired? Let's take a look... Hmm... You can tell this wasn't done by an Ethereal. Someone did this deliberately. Brutal.
- Enzo: The auxiliary drive shaft and built-in module are missing... Besides its logic core, anything of any value on this Bangboo has been strip-mined off it.
- Enzo: But the good news is that as long as the logic core remains intact, there's a hundred percent chance of getting it fixed. I got all the spare parts I could ever need right here!
- So long as it can be fixed, that's great!
- Please, Enzo!
- Enzo: Okay. Then leave the Bangboo here with me, and I'll get to it once I've sorted all this out. Three to five days if it's slow, or tomorrow if things are quick!
- Awesome!
- I'm counting on you!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Mia has been saved. Let's go back and tell Roger. But... we don't have to tell Snek...)
Tell "Roger" about "Mia"
- (Idle)
- Snek: What'll it take for you to come with me...
- (Talk to "Roger")
- Snek: What'll it take for you to come with me...
- "Roger": Yes, I promise — but not this time.
- Roger, the rain has stopped on Sixth Street.
- Snek: Huh? What do you mean? What are you talking about?
- Because the sun has come out again at the Turbo remodeling shop.
- Snek: What on earth are you talking about? Is that a line from the movie, too? No it's not... I've never heard it. Is that from the novel?
- Roger huddles over toward Snek, as though it just received instructions about something.
- Snek: What's going on, Number One, are you coming with me now? Hmm... Is this some sort of admin passcode that controls Bangboo...? What did you just say now, "Sixth Rain"? Or "Turbo Sun"?
- Snek: Whatever, in any case — thanks for your help. Remember to come watch the movie when it comes out.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That's great. Snek doesn't seem to have understood at all, and I hope Roger understood what that means...)
- Snek: Oh yeah, one more thing — just because I don't say it, doesn't mean I don't care about it. I hope you get what I mean.
- Wh—What?!
- Snek: And of course, keep a secret! Everything today, including the lines you heard, must all be kept a secret — a trade secret! Know what I'm saying!
- And with that, Snek left with Roger in hand, muttering about trade secrets. A note inadvertently slips out of his pocket that seems to be a prompt for his lines.
- M: Who's that? Who's there? ...Is that you?
R: Don't worry, darling. It is me, Roger.
M: My dear Roger, what's happened to you...
R: My body might be smaller, but my love for you has not diminished an iota, my dear Mia.
M: Are you here to take me away from here, forever?
R: Yes, I promise — but not this time. The rain is so heavy, whether it's you or me... There's nowhere left to hide. - M: I understand. Father's rage is like this ceaseless rain, and I feel as though I'm losing the courage to last until it clears to blue skies...
R: Threats cannot shake me one bit — they only make my desire to be with you even stronger.
R: I don't care what anyone thinks just as I don't care whether or not the sky falls in — or if tomorrow will still exist.
R: All I care about right now is whether the owner of that name cares as much about me right now.
R: Yes, that's right. Every morning when I wake up in bed, my heart belongs only to the one called "Mia".
R: Mia: I love you, more than you love yourself! - R: Listen to me. I know this might sound sudden, but it's important I get this off my chest before I'm swept away in a maelstrom of prejudice and malice.
M: The rain's so loud I can't hear you, Roger!
R: Mia, listen to me... I love you! Will you marry me?
M: What's that? The rain's too heavy! I can't even see you anymore, are you still there? Roger!
R: ...It's alright. I'll tell you once more when you can hear — no, I'll tell you a thousand times. I know you won't say no.
R: I'll be right here beside you until that rain stops, my Mia. Right here... I'm not going anywhere. That way you'll be able to see me as soon as the sun comes out. - R: Until then, we'll be together forever, eloping together, til we meet our deaths.
Epilogue
If "Mia" was repaired
- (Idle)
- Clara: Whoa!
- (Talk to Clara outside Random Play)
- Clara: Wow! Isn't that, um that... Cupid Bangboo!
- Although you got the name completely wrong...
- I know who you mean!
- Mia: Ehn-nah? (Where am I?)
- "Roger": Don't be afraid, my dear. It's Roger.
- Roger, you came!
- That was a quick fix, Mia!
- Enzo: There you are, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle). You're right on time! Just after I patched up this Bangboo, I heard a knock at the front door. When I opened the door, this same Bangboo was staring back at me! - This is Roger and Mia.
- Clara: I see, so this is the lover it's been waiting for, huh! Mmm-hmm, a good match~ I told you, right: "A Bangboo's lover has got to be another Bangboo~"
- Enzo: Lover? What's that supposed to mean?
- "Roger": My body might be smaller, but my love for you has not diminished an iota, my dear Mia.
- Mia: Ehn-nah? Ehn-nah ehn-nah? (Is my name Mia? Am I Mia?)
- Enzo: Hmm? Is there something wrong with this "Roger" Bangboo? Its speech calibrations are...
- Clara: Shh! Not now, big guy! We're coming up to the main event...
- "Roger": Mia, please listen to me...
- "Roger": I love you! Will you marry me?
- Mia: Ehn? Ehn-nah ehn-nah. (What's that? I don't understand.)
- Finally! The proposal... was a success?
- Was that a failed proposal...?
- Clara: What'd it say? What'd it say? Does anyone have a Bangboo translator? What did Mia say?
- Enzo: You don't need a translator to know. Just by looking at it, the answer is "No way"!
- Clara: Huh? That's impossible! After all the effort it has put into finding its fated partner, I was supposed to get the most perfect love story ever. How can things just end like that!
- Clara: I don't believe you, big guy! I know you understand Bangboo, Roger! Quickly, translate for me — how did Mia reply to you?
- "Roger": ... It said...
- Clara: Huh? What did it say?
- "Roger": I love you! Will you marry me?
- Clara: No, I mean...
- "Roger": Marry me! Me — me — me!
- I knew it...
- It crashed!
- Enzo: I knew something was up with this Bangboo! It definitely has a problem with its language-calling logic, the autonomous language function has been disabled! Come over here, little guy. Let me take a wee look!
- "Roger": I love you! Will you marry me?
- Enzo: Hmm... Looks as though its audio has been set to play on loop... I'll adjust your settings, so stay quiet for a while...
- "Roger": I know you won't say no.
- Enzo: I say no! I'm already married! Huh? I can't change the settings? Looks like it's trickier than I thought. Let me take another look at the logic core...
- "Roger": I love you, more than you love yourself!
- Enzo: I can't do this anymore! This guy is too corny for me!
- Maybe it's because the language function is busted.
- Actually, it's just trying to thank you...
- Seemingly in agreement with this hypothesis, Roger nods his head assiduously as he leans in.
- "Roger": Please listen to me, and listen carefully...
- Enzo & Clara: Cover both your ears!
- And just like that, the rain imprisoning Roger ceased, and once the inspection is complete, he can start a new life together with Mia. As for when that will be... Let Enzo rummage around for his noise-canceling headset, first.
- (Idle)
- Clara: Uhh...
- (Talk to Clara again, optional)
- Clara: Ah... The perfect love story, ruined. This Cupid Bangboo is off proposing to every single person it sees...
- It would be kinda interesting to keep it like this...
- Clara: Do you really think so? That's... not the worst idea~ Because I could put Operation Momo into action once again and bring her over for a photo!
- Enzo will get it fixed.
- Clara: Then thanks so much, Mister Beardy, for putting up with those goosebumps and fixing it~
If "Mia" was scrapped
- (Idle)
- Snek: No way...
- (Talk to Snek at Ballet Twins Road)
- Snek: *sigh*
- So?
- Snek: Oh it's you. What are the chances? Do you still remember that Bangboo from that "No. 1 Bangboo" fiasco? *sigh* This is all my fault...
- Snek: Once I found it, we decided to lighten up a little so the crew threw a party later that night. When I got back, I found it had disappeared once again...
- Snek: The final position places it right here, not on the shore but actually in the water...
- Did it jump in the river?
- Did someone push it in?
- Snek: I don't know... By the time we finally found someone to fish it out, all its waterproof flaps were open and it had been completely flooded out. It's useless now...
- Snek: I don't get it... Some of those waterproof flaps can't be pulled open externally and have to be released by the Bangboo itself...
- Snek: But why would Number One do this? Could it be corruption from the Hollow, or perhaps a virus? I just don't get it. *sigh*...Ever since I found it in Lumina Square it's had all these reactions that I couldn't understand...
- Snek: Anyway, what's most important right now is to refill this purchase order form and avoid getting my head bitten off by the director...
- Snek: As it stands, nobody plans on finding out whether this Bangboo calling itself "Roger" is really interpreting script lines as commands.
- Snek: And to what extent those commands have been carried out...
- "Until then, we'll be together forever, eloping together, til we meet our deaths."
- (Idle)
- Snek: *sigh*
- (Talk to Snek again, optional)
- Snek: Anyway, I have to apply for a new Bangboo. Lucky our improv group is flush with cash...
