Last updated 2025-09-02
The Way of Self-Discipline is a Quality Time Invite for Pulchra Fellini at Lumina Square.
Steps
- Go to the newsstand with Pulchra
Dialogue
- You meet up with Pulchra at the metro entrance at Lumina Square.
- (Talk to Pulchra)
- Pulchra: You're here.
I'm here.- Pulchra: Huh, what's wrong? You're usually so talkative.
- Pulchra: Now that we've met up, let's decide what we're gonna do.
- Let's have some teamilk.
- Pulchra: For cat Thirens, even low-sugar teamilk can have too much sugar, it's just not healthy.
- Wanna get some noodles?
- Pulchra: Noodles? For cat Thirens, they're too oily and we digest the wheat noodles too fast. I don't want something so unhealthy.
- (Both choices lead to the following)
- Wow, you're so disciplined.
- Pulchra: Of course! Whether it's accomplishing great things or just living the life you've always wanted, self-discipline and moderation are the key.
- Wow, how picky.
- Pulchra: That's not being picky. Whether it's accomplishing great things or just living the life you've always wanted, self-discipline and moderation are the key.
- Pulchra: I do enjoy good food, but it's important to keep your desires in check.
- So what should we do now?
- Pulchra: We can decide while we walk. Oh, right, Piper heard there's a new scratch card just released in the city and wants me to get one for her. Let's go to the newsstand first.
- (While following Pulchra)
- Pulchra: Let's go to the newsstand first.
- Pulchra: Ah~ It feels like even the air is fresher after finishing work.
- (Near the HIA Club)
- Pulchra: Caesar said she's been here with you before.
- Pulchra: As for me, I'm not like her - I don't enjoy fighting so much.
- (Near Sān-Z STUDIO)
- Pulchra: I sometimes sell things from here to the Outer Ring too.
- Pulchra: You say you have friends who can't make money?
- Pulchra: That's unbelievable, there're money-making opportunities everywhere in the city.
- (Talk to Pulchra)
- Eve: Hello, can I help you?
- Pulchra: I heard there's a new scratch card out recently?
- Eve: That's right, if you scratch off the winning symbols you can redeem your winnings right away. And even if you don't win, you can still get a prize by collecting several cards with the same symbols. It's a pretty good deal.
- Scratch cards aren't really worth it, though...
- Pulchra: You're right, but since it makes Piper happy I'll just buy her one.
- Eve: One card, then? Thank you for your purchase.
- Pulchra: Proxy, can you record a video on your phone? Piper says scratch it off right after buying it.
- Okay, here we go~
- It's recording. —And action!
- Pulchra: Piper, this is the scratch card you wanted. We're gonna scratch it off now...
- Pulchra: Ah, too bad! The Golden Bangboo symbol looks cool, but it isn't a winner.
- Eve: That's a shame, but this is the first time I've seen someone scratch off the Golden Bangboo.
- Eve: Look, there's only a 1.5% chance to get that symbol, and there are six or seven grand prize combinations that require this card.
- Pulchra: Oh? So we accidentally got something good?
- Pulchra: Let me see... If it's the high-power hairdryer prize for Thiren use, all you need is one more card with the lily symbol. There's a 40% chance to get that card.
- Wait a minute, you're not thinking of...
- Pulchra: Piper would probably just throw it away anyway, so why not let me get a good deal? Excuse me, I'll take another scratch card.
- Pulchra: Let me see...
- Ah, that's a shame.
- It's not a lily.
- Pulchra: Argh, so close. But it's okay, with a 40% chance, it's almost guaranteed to show up next time. Besides, I've always got the chance to win some other prize.
- Huh? You're going again?
- Pulchra: That's right. One more ticket, please.
- Pulchra: It has to be it this time... Huh? It's still not the lily? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the scratch cards here?
- Eve: Miss, even with a 40% chance to get the lily, there's nearly a 40% chance you wouldn't get it after two tries.
- Pulchra: Okay, you're right. I'll just have to try one more card.
- What happened to that self-discipline and restraint we talked about?
- Pulchra: I've already scratched off two more, I can't possibly stop now - it's got my competitive spirit all fired up!
- This isn't about competitiveness.
- It's just a dopamine rush!
- Pulchra: Okay okay, just don't worry about it. I'm definitely going to get that hair dryer today!
- I'll buy you one, and if you don't win you gotta stop!
- Pulchra: Sigh, you... Hmm, alright, maybe you have a point.
Significant Trust increase with Pulchra Fellini- You buy a scratch card for Pulchra, and as expected, she doesn't win anything at all. Shortly after, by the river...
- Pulchra: Phew... I've calmed down now.
- Pulchra: Sure, the prize is a decent hairdryer, but when you think about it, its power usage is so high it might cause the whole town in the Outer Ring to lose power.
- Pulchra: Besides, if I bought a few more cards, I'd have spent about as much as just buying one from the store.
- Great!
- It seems like you've really calmed down.
- Pulchra: I didn't realize the scratch cards could be this addictive, I almost got sucked in... Thanks for earlier. Oh, by the way, don't tell the other Sons of Calydon about today!
- Worried about damaging your reputation?
- Pulchra: That's not true! Anyway, let's just forget about this. Alright, let's go explore somewhere else.
- Don't worry, my lips are sealed.
- Pulchra: It's settled then. Anyway, let's just forget about this. Alright, let's go explore somewhere else.
- (Forget it, I'll just go along with it...)
- You helplessly watch Pulchra scratch off 10 cards, and finally get the hairdryer she wanted. Soon after, by the river...
- Pulchra: Phew... I feel so much better now.
- But with the money you just spent...
- You could just buy two of them.
- Pulchra: Don't say that! Buying a hairdryer straight from the store isn't the same as winning one in battle!
- Alright, as long as you're happy.
- It's exactly the same!
- Pulchra: Anyway, the money's already been spent so let's just forget it. Oh, by the way, don't tell the other Sons of Calydon about today!
- Okay, I promise.
- Pulchra: Alright, let's go explore somewhere else.
- What would happen if I did?
- Pulchra: Oh? Well, you can certainly try, but I have a little secret about you, too.
Trust increase with Pulchra Fellini
- You go shopping with Pulchra at Lumina Square, and have a meal together...
- Pulchra: Despite a small incident, it was still a pleasant day overall.
- Try not to get too worked up next time.
- Pulchra: It was just a little hiccup! Even self-disciplined people need to indulge once in a while!
- Okay, okay, you're absolutely right.
- I've seen another side of you today.
- Pulchra: I'm gonna head back. Let's hang out together again soon.
- Trust increase with Pulchra Fellini
- (Idle)
- Pulchra: More than one time...
