Steps
- Meet Caesar in Blazewood
Dialogue
- You meet up with Caesar by the elevator at the lower level of Blazewood
- (Talk to Caesar)
- Caesar: There you are, Proxy! Thanks for coming all this way.
No worries! I'm just here to have some fun.
No sweat! I get to see you, after all!
- Significant Trust increase with Caesar King
- Caesar: You showed me around the city, and now it's my turn to guide you around the Outer Ring.
What do they sell here?- Caesar: Everything. Snacks, toys, handmade crafts, and all sorts of odds and ends...
- Caesar: Come on, I'll take you around, you might find something interesting!
- (While following Caesar)
- Caesar: Today I'll be your guide!
- Caesar: Proxy, is there anything that interests you?
- Caesar: Look, they're selling all kinds of motorcycle parts here!
- (Near 747)
- Caesar: Oh? Looks like 747 has a sale on today... though most of it looks like knockoff stuff.
- Caesar: I only realized last time I was in the city, after taking a closer look, that Bangboo wasn't wearing a brick on its head — it was actually a product catalog.
- (Upon approaching Kasa)
- Caesar: Oh, by the way, there's a stall ahead that you'll definitely find interesting! Come with me!
- (Talk to Caesar)
- Caesar: Proxy, we're here, this is the place!
- Kasa: Easy there, folks! All the Tyche Crates we found are right here. The charity sale is about to kick off!
- Kasa: Here are the rules: No touching, no weighing! 5,000 Dennies per crate! Pick a number, pay up, and receive your box immediately!
What are those crates?
- Caesar: We call them Tyche Crates, or "crates of fortune."
What's this stall about?
- Caesar: This is a charity stall in Blazewood, and all the goods here are Tyche Crates, or "crates of fortune."
- Caesar: People in the city often dump scrapped vehicles in the Outer Ring, and you might stumble upon forgotten deliveries hidden in big rigs. If you're lucky, you can find them before the scavengers do.
- Caesar: When the townspeople discover such crates, Kasa organizes a charity sale at the market, using the money to repair the town's facilities or support the elderly and children without any means of support.
- Caesar: Since nobody knows what's inside, it could be a bunch of useless papers or a treasure trove, all for 5,000 Dennies.
So they're surprise boxes.
Sounds exciting!- Caesar: Feeling lucky? You might end up with nothing, but the Tyche Crates are the most popular item in the market. They sell out almost immediately after going on sale.
Sure, let's give it a shot!- Caesar: Choose a number, Proxy, and I'll grab the crate for you!
Let's go with number 1.
- Caesar pushes her way into the crowd, slips the money into Kasa's hand, then quickly gets the box with the number "1" and tosses it over.
The crate isn't light, and when shaken, it makes a rattling sound...
You and Caesar head to a place with fewer people— - Caesar: Let's open the crate here.
(Open the crate excitedly)
(Open the crate calmly)- Caesar: No wonder something was rattling around in there. It's Green Lips Chewing Gum, and it's still good. Judging by the quantity, I'd say it's definitely worth more than 5,000 Dennies.
Awesome! We hit the jackpot!
- Caesar: Haha, yeah! Nine times out of ten, the food in these crates is expired. Last time, Piper got moldy instant noodles.
- Caesar: Plus, this gum lasts a long time and is hard to find in the Outer Ring. It's pretty popular among us motorists.
So it's just gum...
- Caesar: Hey, don't look so bummed. It might not be anything rare, but nine times out of ten, the food in these crates is expired. Getting something edible is already a win.
- Caesar: Plus, this gum lasts ages. It's a rare find in the Outer Ring, and it's pretty popular among us motorists.
- (Both choices lead to the following)
You can have half of it, Caesar!
I can't eat that much anyway.- Caesar: Really? Thanks! I'll take it, then!
- After sharing the gum with Caesar, you browse the other stalls in the market and have a great time together...
- Trust increase with Caesar King
Let's go with number 20.
- Caesar pushes her way into the crowd, slips the money into Kasa's hand, then quickly gets the crate with the number "20" and tosses it over.
The crate is so light you can barely feel anything inside...
You and Caesar head to a place with fewer people— - Caesar: Let's open the crate here.
(Open the crate hesitantly)
(Open the crate nervously)- Caesar: So it's a CD! Hah, I thought it was empty at first.
An old CD...
It's titled "Yesterday's Spotlight."- Caesar: Wait, what?! Let me see... It's really "Yesterday's Spotlight"! Haha! I can't believe I found it here!!
Is this CD special to you?
You've been looking for this CD?
- Caesar: Actually, I'm not the one who was looking for it — Big Daddy was.
- Caesar: This CD itself isn't special, and the singer isn't famous, but he was a close friend of Big Daddy in the old capital when they were young.
- Caesar: According to Big Daddy, the singer struggled for years before finally getting signed by a music studio and releasing this album.
- Caesar: He promised Big Daddy a CD once it was out, but then the old capital fell...
What happened to the singer?- Caesar: No one knows. Maybe he met his end during the fall.
- Caesar: He wasn't famous, so the CD's sales were already low, and even fewer taken out of the old capital. So Big Daddy, after all these years, still hasn't been able to find it.
- Caesar: Please, Proxy! Can I buy that CD off you?!
No, just take it!- Caesar: Huh? But that's your CD...
It's special to you, so it's all good.
Let's give it to Big Daddy together as a gift!- Caesar: Thank you so much, Proxy!
- Caesar tucks the CD away carefully, and the two of you go to other stalls in the market and have a great time together...
- Trust increase with Caesar King
Let's go with number 99.
- Caesar pushes her way into the crowd, slips the money into Kasa's hand, then quickly gets the crate with the number "99" and tosses it over.
Despite its tiny size, the crate feels heavy, like there's metal inside...
You and Caesar head to a place with fewer people— - Caesar: Let's open the crate right here.
(Open the crate swiftly)
(Open the crate cautiously)- Caesar: It's a wooden box with a nice texture. It feels hefty, like a toolbox...
- Caesar: Huh—isn't this a tuning file? This is a reed tuning pliers! Wow, what a lucky find!
Wait, what are you saying?
- Caesar: Proxy, you remember the organ on Steeltusk, right? That's an old reed organ, and tools like these are for to [sic] maintain it.
Are these things special?
- Caesar: Yeah, these are tools for repairing the reed organ — the one by Steeltusk's bar.
- Caesar: It's an antique that Big Daddy and Burnice fished out of a Hollow for me. Lucy said it's better suited for playing soft melodies, which suits me perfectly.
Have you been learning to play it?- Caesar: Yeah, but not for very long. A few years ago, I saw Lucy playing the piano, and for some reason, I suddenly decided I wanted to learn how to play too.
- Caesar: But when I mentioned it to Lucy, guess what she said? "That's amazing, Caesar! Congratulations on discovering that noise is more useful than fists!"
Classic Lucy.
- Caesar: We had a pretty big fight after she said that.
Did you guys have another fight?
- Caesar: Yeah, I had to stand my ground, right? We had quite a fight that day.
- Caesar: As the price for losing, Lucy agreed to teach me, but we made another bet: If I didn't keep it up, I would give up being leader of the Sons of Calydon.
- Caesar: At first, my motivation to study was just because I wanted to to compete with her, and it was pretty boring at first. I was surprised to discover I actually developed a real passion for playing after that.
Keep this tool, Caesar.- Caesar: Keep it? It'd come in handy, but the crate was yours...
You can let me hear you play in return.- Caesar: Hah, sure! It's a deal!
- After Caesar accepts the tool, the two of you go to the other stalls in the market and have a great time together...
- Trust increase with Caesar King
- (Idle)
- Caesar: I had a great day today! And thanks for the gift!
