- Lighter: The Proxy should be on their way here...
- (Talk to Lighter)
- Lighter: Proxy, so you're here already.
- Lighter: Caesar's caught up with stuff for Settlement Days, so she sent me to come get you.
Wow, Blazewood is really lively right now...
- Lighter: I mean, it's still the first day of Settlement Days... Oh yeah, I forgot — I don't think Caesar explained to you what Settlement Days are...
- Lighter: Let me think, where do I begin...?
- So this celebration is called Settlement Days?
- Lighter: Well, Settlement Days aren't exactly a festival. Hmm... how should I put it...
Settlement Days
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Settlement Days"Video Summary: Celebration, Nitro-Fuel, champions — enjoy Settlement Days to the fullest!
Story Description: Upon reaching Blazewood, Lighter explains the story behind "Settlement Days" and jokingly suggests a Nitro-Fuel drinking challenge to settle the grudge from accidentally stepping on Eous' foot.
- Lighter: Let me give you an example. Say your gang gets into it with another gang, and you get sucker-punched. But not long after, the two gangs make peace. Wouldn't you still be a little pissed?
- Yeah, for sure.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hmm... Yeah, I'd be pretty upset...Hmm... Yeah, I'd be pretty upset... /
Hmm... Yeah, not just a little pissed, I'd be mega mad!Hmm... Yeah, not just a little pissed, I'd be mega mad!) - Lighter: Exactly. That's what Settlement Days are for. In the Outer Ring, nobody just lets stuff like that slide.
- Lighter: Even though Caesar's the new Overlord now, there's still some unfinished business between the gang members. They've got three days to settle their beef by challenging each other. After that, it's time to let it go and move on.
- Lighter: In these challenges, both sides put something on the line, kind of like a wager, and winner takes all.
- Sounds serious...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (So that's what it's all about... but is it really okay for a delicate Proxy like me to attend an event like this?So that's what it's all about... but is it really okay for a delicate Proxy like me to attend an event like this? /
Whoa... those duels sound intense! But wait, hold on, am I even supposed to be at something like this!?Whoa... those duels sound intense! But wait, hold on, am I even supposed to be at something like this!?) - Lighter: Yeah, it used to be pretty hardcore, but it's much more chill this year. After all, Caesar's not the type to hold grudges,[Note 1] and no one will come looking for trouble.
- Lighter: This year's duels are mostly stuff like target shooting, rock-paper-scissors, tongue twisters... And the stakes are silly things like stale bread or a rabbit someone grabbed from their backyard...
- Lighter: Oh, I just saw two gangs having a contest over who had the longer cat.
- Um...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Umm... sounds more like a fair...
- Lighter: Pretty much! But hey, Caesar's having a blast, so I guess that's just the new Overlord's vibe.
- Lighter: Since you're here, Proxy, if there's anything you're not happy about from our last job, now's the time to settle it.
- Things I'm not happy about...
- I just remembered something...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I've enjoyed working with the Sons of Calydon, but I just remembered something...I've enjoyed working with the Sons of Calydon, but I just remembered something... Tooltip for I've enjoyed working with the Sons of Calydon, but I just remembered something...ⓘ /
Things I'm not happy about? Hmm... actually~Things I'm not happy about? Hmm... actually~) - Lighter: ...Why are you looking at me like that? You're not holding a grudge against me, are you?
- Remember Eous...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Back in the Hollow, you accidentally stepped on Eous' foot.Back in the Hollow, you accidentally stepped on Eous' foot. /
You stepped on Eous' foot back in the Hollow! Boy, that really hurt!You stepped on Eous' foot back in the Hollow! Boy, that really hurt!) - Lighter: Oh... Really? Um... I... Sorry. I'll watch where I'm stepping next time.
- Lighter: But hey... that's a perfect excuse for a Nitro-Fuel drink-off. What do you say, Proxy?
- Nitro-Fuel, huh...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uh-huh, it's a perfect excuse for you to drink some Nitro-Fuel.[Note 2]Uh-huh, it's a perfect excuse for you to drink some Nitro-Fuel.[Note 2] /
You just want some Nitro-Fuel, don't you?You just want some Nitro-Fuel, don't you?) - Lighter: That's not true. Um... actually, I don't do well with Nitro-Fuel, it makes me dizzy. But Caesar told me to make sure you have a good time, so I wanted you to get the full experience of Settlement Days...
- Lighter: Anyway, I'm wagering a Bangboo Ether Battery, and if I lose, you can take it and give it to Eous as my apology.
- Alright! Let's do this!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Alright, I'll give it a try. As for my stake... How about a discount coupon for our video store?Alright, I'll give it a try. As for my stake... How about a discount coupon for our video store? /
Alright! Then I'll bet... a discount coupon for our video store!Alright! Then I'll bet... a discount coupon for our video store!) - Lighter: Alright! I'll go queue up at Steeltusk. There's gonna be a lot of people buying Nitro-Fuel today.
- Lighter: Take your time looking around. We'll meet up at Steeltusk later.
- Lighter leaves.
- (Idle)
- Lighter: A friend and I are gonna take the Nitro-Fuel contest...
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Er... That... I'm really sorry, actually...
- (Talk to Lighter)
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: So sorry. There's so many people buying Nitro-Fuel today...
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: I thought, since it's just the first day, people wouldn't go this crazy, so I didn't stock up much...
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: We've run out of Nitro-Fuel. If you're just getting one cup, that's fine, but it'll be a bit difficult if you want to do a contest.
- Lighter: I remember you had a lot left earlier. Is it all gone already? That's pretty crazy...
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Not exactly, it's just, a lot of people were worried they wouldn't have enough to drink tonight, so they came here early to buy extra and stock up.
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: If you're looking to do a contest, I can help you keep count!
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: But as for the Nitro-Fuel... you might need to find a way to get some yourselves.
- Lighter: On the way here I actually saw some Nitro-Fuel piled up...
- Lighter: Why don't we split up and ask around, Proxy? Maybe someone would be willing to share some with us.
- Sounds good!
- Let's split up and see what we can find!
- (Talk to Nitro-Fuel Lady, optional)
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Why not ask the nearby Outer Ring residents?
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Many people buy it just to save it for the evening, so if you're just borrowing a little, they might agree.
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: I remember seeing a strong-looking fellow and a lass who just bought a lot. They must still be nearby.
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Why don't you go ask them?
- (Talk to Hesitant Girl)
- Hesitant Girl: Oh... sorry, am I in your way?
- You explain to her that you and Lighter to do a Nitro-Fuel contest, so you hope to purchase some Nitro-Fuel from her...
- Hesitant Girl: Oh no, these aren't mine! I'm just helping to look after them... Sorry about that!
- Hesitant Girl: They mentioned they wanted to challenge the undefeated champion of the Sons of Calydon to a Nitro-Fuel contest later, so they bought a ton...
- Actually, I'm planning to compete with Lighter in a Nitro-Fuel contest too.
- Hesitant Girl: You're that undefeated champion's friend, aren't you? He told a bunch of people this afternoon that he was meeting an important friend, so he turned down a ton of challenges!
- Do you have a personal grudge against Lighter?
- Hesitant Girl: Ah, no, no! That undefeated champion has helped us a lot in the past. Thanks to him, the gang that used to eye our transport routes has finally settled down...
- Hesitant Girl: Many people here admire him, so they keep looking for excuses to challenge him. Sorry if it seems a bit silly...
- Hesitant Girl: I can only give you two bottles of the Nitro-Fuel, though. After all, I wasn't the one who paid for them...
- Hesitant Girl: Anyway, I hope you have a great day in the Outer Ring!
- (Obtain
Nitro-Fuel)
- (Idle)[Note 3]
- Hesitant Girl: Sometimes being popular is really hard work. Looks as though The Champion is going to have lots of Nitro-Fuel to drink today...
- (Talk to Sturdy Man at the Lower Level)
- Sturdy Man: Hey, friend, want to grab a drink?
- Did you mistake me for someone else...?
- I don't even know you though...
- Sturdy Man: We can get to know each other over a drink! It's not every day you meet someone new, so come on, I have plenty of Nitro-Fuel to share!
- You let him know you're looking to challenge Lighter to a Nitro-Fuel contest, so you'd like to buy some drinks from him...
- Sturdy Man: Lighter? That name rings a bell... Isn't he the one with the red scarf from the Sons of Calydon?
- Yep!
- Sturdy Man: Well then, no need to be shy! Take as many as you want! Or... how many do you need? I can bring them right over!
- This... doesn't seem right, does it?
- Sturdy Man: What's the problem? Just consider it a treat for the most active Champion in the Outer Ring!
- Sturdy Man: I heard that the Red Scarf of the Sons of Calydon has never lost any duel. To have recruited such a powerful champion, they must be a really impressive gang.
- Sturdy Man: Then, the leader of the Sons of Calydon actually became the new Overlord this year! They're definitely not to be taken lightly!
- Sturdy Man: I'll bring the Nitro-Fuel over to you shortly, so you can head back and wait!
- (Idle)[Note 3]
- Sturdy Man: If I get the chance, I'm gonna try my hand against the Red Scarf, too!
- (Idle)
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Wow, you brought back SO much Nitro-Fuel! No wonder you're The Champion for the new Overlord!
- Lighter: Ah... I do my best...
- (Talk to Lighter)
- Lighter brought back quite a few cases of Nitro-Fuel. The title of the undefeated Champion of the Sons of Calydon seems especially well-regarded in Blazewood...
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Wow! You brought back a lot of Nitro-Fuel!
- Nitro-Fuel Lady: Let's kick things off now! I'll keep track for you!
- Lighter: Are you ready? Should we start now?
- Yes! Let's go!
- (Drinks it all)
- Lighter drinks the Nitro-Fuel in front of him in one go!
- Lighter: Proxy, you're totally in the zone! How about another?
- Again!
- That's just how good I am!
- Lighter drinks another can of Nitro-Fuel, but a little slower this time...
- Lighter: Proxy... I seem to have underestimated you...
- Another!
- Lighter: Wow... really, Proxy? I'm full... can you keep going? Then let's go for another!
- After downing a full cup of Nitro-Fuel, Lighter slams his cup on the bar, upside down, signaling that he can't go on. Then, the Nitro-Fuel Lady announces — "Lighter has been defeated!"
- Lighter: Proxy, you really caught me off guard, but the challenge is over, and I'll give you what was bet as promised. About accidentally stepping on Eous earlier... Er, please don't be angry anymore?
- But this is already my limit...
- Lighter: Phew... Even though I'm getting full, I can still have another!
- After finishing the third cup of Nitro-Fuel in one go, the Nitro-Fuel Lady announces — "Lighter, wins!"
- Lighter: Wow... I almost lost. I didn't expect you to be so good. Even though I won the Nitro-Fuel challenge, I still want to apologize to you and Eous. Next time, I'll make sure to watch my step.
- Lighter: So, Proxy, please don't be mad about what happened before...
- (Both choices lead to the following)
- I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges!
- It's the rule of Settlement Days! Let's put our grudges behind us!
- Just as the challenge with Lighter wraps up, someone approaches...
- Enthusiastic Young Person: Finally found you, the Red Scarf of the Sons of Calydon!
- Enthusiastic Young Person: Hah... let me catch my breath... huff... I want to challenge you to a boxing match!
- Lighter: Uh... I don't think I know you... Do we have any personal grudges to resolve on Settlement Days?
- Enthusiastic Young Person: Uh...what? Um...
- Lighter: While I don't mind sparring with you, I've had too many challenges lately. If there aren't any old grudges to settle, how about we just...
- Enthusiastic Young Person: Hold on, hold on! I remember now!
- Enthusiastic Young Person: You rode your bike past my window before and scared my cat, making it fall from the wardrobe!
- Enthusiastic Young Person: Oh! I was finally trying to snap a photo of my super cute cat trying to catch the light on the wall, but you ruined it!
- Enthusiastic Young Person: I'm going to bet my cat's photos and challenge you to a boxing match!
- Lighter probably won't accept a challenge like this...
- Lighter: Oh, is that so...
- Lighter: Alright, I need to warm up a bit. I'll bet a can of cat food and accept your challenge.
C'mon! More!

"C'mon! More!"Video Summary: Fill up the Champion's cup with Nitro-Fuel!
Story Description: Lighter tells you that you can purchase Nitro-Fuel raffle tickets, and if the person you support wins, you can trade them for double the Nitro-Fuel.
- Lighter: Alright Proxy, I'll go warm up...
- Is that even a legit reason for a challenge?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I didn't expect that you could challenge someone for a reason like that...I didn't expect that you could challenge someone for a reason like that... /

I know Settlement Days challenges are usually not too serious, but does this one count too?) - Lighter: Well... For cat people, their cats are like family... So if they miss out on cute moments, for whatever reason, it could be something they'd regret for a long time.
- Lighter: So this challenge is valid. I'm ready to accept it and make amends.
- Lighter: Oh, by the way, did you buy the Nitro-Fuel raffle ticket?
- What's that...?
- I did not!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Nitro-Fuel raffle (ticket...ticket... /
ticket?ticket?) What's that? (Never heard of it.Never heard of it. / Sounds fun!Sounds fun!) - Lighter: It's just a little extra fun to spice things up. You can buy tickets from the Nitro-Fuel vendor and place your bet on who you think will win before the match starts.
- Lighter: And by the way, if you bet on me, oh, you'll have all the Nitro-Fuel you can drink tonight.
- And if you lose...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But if you lose, (you'll be paying foryou'll be paying for /

No Secrets Under the Spotlight
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"No Secrets Under the Spotlight"Video Summary: Everyone is focused on the red scarf.
Story Description: Andreas, a supporter of the old Overlord, challenges Lighter during the contest, wagering his badge of honor. After Lighter refuses, they both bet their gloves on the challenge.
- Amidst the cheers, raffle tickets, and Nitro-Fuel, everyone seems to be lost in the pure thrill of the challenge, the strength, and the courage, making this day feel like one big celebration.
- The challengers step up one after another, but Lighter keeps winning.
- Just as the next challenger is about to enter the ring, a big guy shoves his way forward, pushing others aside and walking right in.
- Lighter: ...
- Andreas: So, you're the one sent by the Sons of Calydon, huh? I'm challenging you, and I'm betting this brooch!
- Lighter: ...
- Andreas: What's the matter, you scared? Tsk, I knew the Sons of Calydon didn't deserve the title of Overlord. What a joke.
- Andreas: Hurry up! Fight me or scram! If you're afraid, say something nice to flatter me, and I, Andreas, might let you off easy.
- Lighter: Does this brooch mean a lot to you?
- Andreas: Of course! Pompey gave it to me himself years ago. It's my badge of honor in the Outer Ring. But whatever, a pup like you won't get it.
- Lighter: To wager something so precious... you must be ready to fight like your life depends on it, yeah?
- Andreas: Huh? It's just a stupid brawl for kids, so stop sounding so dramatic... I'm not losing to you!
- Lighter: Don't wager your honor if you're not serious about this.
- Andreas: Quit stalling, you're just scared!
- (Trying to lighten the atmosphere)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (There are other things you could wager, right? Maybe you two could pick something different instead?There are other things you could wager, right? Maybe you two could pick something different instead? /
How about... both of you bet something else? No need to risk something so valuable, right...? What do you think, Lighter?How about... both of you bet something else? No need to risk something so valuable, right...? What do you think, Lighter?) - Lighter: I'll bet my boxing gloves, and if you match me with something similar, then we've got a deal.
- Andreas: Then... uhh, I'll match you with my gloves! I'm gonna teach you a lesson either way!
- Lighter: Alright... I, Lighter, of the Sons of Calydon, accept your challenge.
- Andreas might be big, but he doesn't just attack recklessly. He waits for the opportune moment to strike at any weak spots.
- After a few rounds, Lighter quickly figures out Andreas' fighting style.
- What started as a pretty even match is now clearly swinging in Lighter's favor.
- Andreas: Not bad, kid. But I bet you learned those moves in the underground fighting pits, didn't you?
- Andreas: Did you share any of that dirty money with your dead buddies?
- Andreas: Or... did you just blow it all, not giving a damn?
- Lighter: Who told you about all that?
- Andreas: Hah, no secrets in the world of a big shot like the Champion.
- Lighter: I've made peace with my past. Now, I only fight for the Sons of Calydon.
- Andreas: Oh, fighting for the Sons of Calydon, huh? Or using that dirty money to buy yourself a flashy job and a bunch of fangirls in the Outer Ring? You know exactly what I mean.
- Andreas: Strutting around with that red scarf, acting all cool like a big shot. Hah, I'd want a gig like that too—
- Lighter: ...
- Andreas: Heh...
- Andreas: You and the Sons of Calydon, you're just riding on luck. But you know how it goes for those flashy, lucky dogs? They bite the dust and end up six feet under in the Outer Ring.
- Although Andreas has been knocked down, he seems to be trying to provoke Lighter on purpose with his words.
The Champion

"The Champion"Video Summary: Who's the next challenger?
Story Description: Lighter gains the upper hand in the challenge, and Andreas, furious, exposes Lighter's past. But Lighter remains unfazed, and responds calmly, telling Andreas they could fight again if he still had grievances.
- Lighter walks up to Andreas, looking like he's about to finish him off. Even the referee is ready to step in.
- But, to everyone's surprise, Lighter squats down, taps Andreas on his glove, then grabs his sunglasses from the side and puts them back on...
- Lighter: You don't recognize the new Overlord, so taking your bet doesn't mean anything.
- Lighter: I'll give you three days. If you want a rematch, I'm game. Anytime, as many times as you want.
- Lighter: Oh, hey, the sun's about to set—
- Lighter: Who's up next?

Story Description: The challenge in the ring comes to an end, and Lighter is the final victor. After stepping down from the ring, he goes off by himself to look into some matters.
- The ring returns to its previous relaxed atmosphere and Lighter continues to win his matches, all the way until sunset.
- After defeating the last challenger, Lighter takes off his gloves and walks away from the crowd...
- Lighter: Didn't think you'd stick around till the end, Proxy.
- I bought those raffle tickets...

- Piper: Lil' old me's getting a little sleepy...
- NPC 15: You saw that match today? The Champion is awesome!
- NPC 16: Hmph, one day I'll be that strong too!
- NPC 17: Lighter's punches are still as powerful as ever! But one day, I'll beat him!
- NPC 18: Where's Lighter? Our champion! I wanna drink some Nitro-Fuel with him!
- NPC 19: Ah, a fight settles all grudges! From today, you're my brother! Come on, let's keep drinking Nitro-Fuel.

- (Idle)
- Burnice: ♪~♪~
- (Talk to Burnice)
- Burnice: Hey, Proxy, are you here to get some Nitro-Fuel as well?
- Lighter said I could redeem my coupons with you.
- Burnice: No problem. Let's see... Wow, you're a real one, all of these are in support of Lighter!
- Burnice: So much Nitro-Fuel... If you drink 'em all, the other Proxy will probably get upset, right?
- Burnice: How about you sell me some of this Nitro-Fuel? I'll pay you in Dennies at the regular price. What do you think?
- Wow, really?
- Sure!
- Burnice: Hehe... Burnice is such a great person, right?
- Burnice is the same as ever...
- Burnice is a super, amazing, great person!
- Burnice: Aww that's too much. Back in the early days, us members of the Sons of Calydon were even more out there than we are now!
- Burnice: Take Lighter, for example. Big Daddy suddenly arrived one day with Lighter in tow, and at first, Lighter hardly ever spoke to us or ate with me.
- Burnice: Oh... and back then, he would even refuse the Nitro-Fuel drinks I mixed for him!
- Burnice: Although, as a Champion, he really is perfect... But trying to interact with him was a real headache.
- What exactly is a Champion?
- Burnice: Hmm... Generally speaking, before different gangs come into conflict, there is usually a testing of waters, and at that point, both sides will send someone to take the lead.
- Burnice: If this person wins, it boosts morale and intimidates the opponent. So there's an unwritten rule that the Champion of each gang is always the strongest fighter in that team.
- Burnice: Although the champions of each gang have slightly different personalities, they're usually the flashy, attention-grabbing types.
- Burnice: Hmm... The Champion of the Sons of Calydon is Lighter. He always wears a red scarf when he wins, so over time, people tend to refer to him more as the Red Scarf of the Sons of Calydon!
- Burnice: Ooh, I said so much I almost forgot...
- Burnice: Here's the Dennies I earned from slinging Nitro-Fuel, Proxy. Hold onto those~ And have fun!
- Burnice: Also, if you see Lighter tell him Big Daddy is looking for him!
- (Exchange Nitro-Fuel Raffle Tickets for
Denny ×1,000 each)
- (Talk to Burnice again, optional)
- Burnice: What's up, Proxy?
- (Talk to Andreas at the Lower Level, optional)[Verify when he appears and if he can be talked to.]
- Andreas: Are you a friend of that Lighter guy? Makes sense for the friend of a young punk to be a young punk, too.
- (Talk to Lighter)
Red Scarf and Dark Shades
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Red Scarf and Dark Shades"Video Summary: Is there a scar hidden beneath those sunglasses...?
Story Description: You find Lighter in a quiet corner, where he reveals Andreas has been on his mind. He suspects a hidden plot and feels the need to dig deeper in the matter.
- From a distance, you see Lighter standing alone. His silhouette is hard to make out in the dark, but that red scarf of his stands out.
- Lighter: What brings you here, Proxy?
- Big Daddy's looking for you.
- Burnice has a message for you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Burnice asked me to pass on a message when I was grabbing the Nitro-Fuel. She said Big Daddy wants to see you.
- Lighter: Oh, sure, I'll be back in a minute. I've got something to tell Big Daddy, too.
- Lighter: Remember Andreas? I had a feeling something was off, so I came here to keep an eye on him.
- Lighter: I saw him answering a phone call, arguing with someone, and then he mentioned something about the Hollow...
- Lighter: I'm gonna go back and do some digging on this Andreas guy.
- Didn't see that coming...
- I didn't know you were so observant, Lighter.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I thought you just had to play the flashy frontman. Didn't realize you were keeping tabs on so much behind the scenes too.I thought you just had to play the flashy frontman. Didn't realize you were keeping tabs on so much behind the scenes too. /

- Lighter: I'm pretty sure we've never crossed paths before, and I've never talked about my shady past since I came to the Outer Ring. It can't just be a coincidence that he knows about it...
- So, it's all true...
- Looks like you've had a troubled past, Lighter...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (This is the first time I'm hearing about your past, Lighter... didn't know you had it so rough.This is the first time I'm hearing about your past, Lighter... didn't know you had it so rough. /
So, it's all true... I had no idea that you'd been through so much, Lighter...So, it's all true... I had no idea that you'd been through so much, Lighter...) - Lighter: Yeah, if it weren't for my past, I wouldn't be wearing these sunglasses all the time.
- Lighter: Sure, I get lightheaded around blood, but it's mainly because of a bad eye injury I got in an underground fight.
- Lighter: My injury was pretty severe. I had to keep my eyes covered and live in the dark for a while...
- Lighter: Even though it's all healed now, if I don't keep it shaded, it feels like opening up old wounds again...
- Lighter: And... Ah, never mind. Anyway, I hope you don't mind me always wearing sunglasses when we talk.
- Doesn't bother me at all...
- I'm used to it...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (So it wasn't just to look cool? I was thinking about getting myself a pair... Glad I didn't...So it wasn't just to look cool? I was thinking about getting myself a pair... Glad I didn't... /
Ah... I always thought you were just trying to look cool, but don't worry, I'm totally used to it...Ah... I always thought you were just trying to look cool, but don't worry, I'm totally used to it...) - Lighter: You're funny, Proxy.
- How did you become the Red Scarf, Lighter?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): By the way... (what made you join the Sons of Calydon?what made you join the Sons of Calydon? /
why did you become the Red Scarf?why did you become the Red Scarf?) - Lighter: Because Big Daddy paid off all my debts, and I needed to repay his kindness. Plus...
- Lighter: Red Scarf. Sounds pretty cool. Don't you think?
- Lighter says that in a light-hearted tone, but then he goes quiet, gazing at the crowd like he's lost in thought. Before he can say anything else, his phone buzzes with an influx of messages...
- Lighter: It's Piper. Some guys I beat today are at Steeltusk. They're up for a Nitro-Fuel challenge.
- Lighter: I'm gonna talk to Big Daddy about Andreas and then go kick some butt.
- Lighter: Oh, and Piper wanted me to tell you that the other Proxy has arrived in Blazewood too.
- Lighter: You two should crash here tonight. The Sons of Calydon will make sure you're well taken care of.
- (Idle)
- Lighter: You not gonna go meet up with the other Proxy?
- (Talk to Lighter again, optional)
- Lighter: If the other Proxy can't find you, they'll come knocking our door down.
- Lighter: I don't want anyone to hold a grudge about this, and... you can brag about my winning streak to the other Proxy.
- Lighter: Oh, and after you tell 'em all about how great I was, say hi for me, okay?
- Lighter: Good night in advance, Proxy.
- (Talk to (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)) - (SiblingSibling): (Wise! Is the celebration over already? Did I miss out on anything fun?Wise! Is the celebration over already? Did I miss out on anything fun? /
Belle, did you have fun today?Belle, did you have fun today?) - Lighter's arena fight...
- Nitro-Fuel is super delicious!
- You recount for (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) the affairs of the day, including the part when Andreas was winding Lighter up. - (SiblingSibling): (Ah... So that's what went down.Ah... So that's what went down. /
Sounds like apart from a few minor hiccups, everything went well.Sounds like apart from a few minor hiccups, everything went well.) - (SiblingSibling): (It's already really late...
