Talk to Alice

Looks like Alice's got something on her mind... Go ask her what's up.

Failume Heights

(Idle): A-Yao: I'm here to apologize...

(Talk to Alice): A-Yao: Miss, I'm sorry... I'm here to pay back the money today...; Alice: Pay you back? Don't think I know you...; Pay back the money?; You don't know her, Alice?; Alice: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), it's you! Um... I was just heading to Mystic Wares to find Yuzuha when this lady suddenly stopped me. She said she wanted to pay me back, but I don't think I know her...; A-Yao: We haven't had any direct contact... but if you remember this Bangboo, you might get what I'm trying to say.; Alice: Bangboo? Well, Bangboo models are pretty much all generic, so I can't really tell them apart...

The following is recorded in the Partner Archive

"Unconditional Trust"

Story Description: Alice is stopped on the streets of Failume Heights by a very apologetic young lady and her Penguinboo companion. Apparently, Alice has lent quite a bit of money to this Penguinboo to help its master...

A-Yao: Big Guin, you have to apologize to the lady, right now!

Big Guin: En-nuhnah, en-neh, enahn... (I'm so sorry, young lady... It's all my fault. A-Yao already told me off, I know I was wrong...)

Alice: My name is Alice. Please, feel free to call me that. But I'm afraid I don't completely follow — what exactly are you trying to say?

A-Yao: I'm really sorry, Miss Alice. It's my fault for not teaching Big Guin properly, and it's caused you trouble on more than one occasion now...

What's going on?

What did this Bangboo do?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm kinda confused... Did this Bangboo named "Big Guin" do something that upset you?

Alice: I have no idea either... This young lady, Miss A-Yao, suddenly came out of nowhere, storming over with a thorny stick in hand...

Alice: And the first thing she said to me was, "Give it a good thrashing!" *whimpers* I was terribly frightened for a moment there...

A-Yao: I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you, Miss Alice. But this little one really needs a proper scolding.

A-Yao: *sigh* I've been having a tough time job hunting lately... I haven't been keeping as close an eye on it as I should've. I never thought it'd actually pull something like this.

Big Guin: Ehn-ne-ehn! Ehn-ne! (Miss Alice, I'm so sorry... I lied to you. I'm such a terrible Bangboo!)

Maybe there's some misunderstanding?

Are you sure it was Alice?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Uh... Could there be some sort of misunderstanding? / Huh? Could this all be some kind of misunderstanding?‍) Maybe you've got the wrong person? That little Bangboo doesn't (‍really look like a troublemaker / exactly scream "troublemaker"‍) to me...

Alice: Wait... that round little body... the perfectly symmetrical shape... and the zipper on its chest... Are you...?

Big Guin: En-nah, ne-ne... (Yes, Miss Alice, it's me. I'm the Bangboo who asked you for money twice.)

Alice: I recognize you! Was your owner's boyfriend rescued in the end? Is he okay now? Did he make it home safe?

Alice: It's all coming back to me! I lost sleep for days worrying about you. I even searched all over the streets, but I never saw you again...

Alice: Since you're here now, does that mean the money I gave you helped solve the problem? That's fabulous!

Alice: Oh, right— Is this lady here your owner?

A-Yao: Sorry, Miss Alice... I don't have a boyfriend. Big Guin made that story up. It was all a lie.

Alice: Huh? All a lie...? You mean you never had a boyfriend who was kidnapped and held for a huge ransom?

That story sounds pretty suspicious.

You didn't actually fall for that, did you?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, so this Bangboo told you its owner's boyfriend got kidnapped and asked you for ransom money? That sounds super sketchy... Alice, you didn't actually give it money, did you?

Alice: Well... I ran into it for the first time a few weeks ago, and it looked really anxious. It was clearly in distress, and everyone else was ignoring...

Alice: So I approached it and asked, "Mr. Bangboo, is something the matter?"

Alice: It told me that its owner had lost her job and was about to be evicted by her landlord, and that they would have to leave Failume Heights soon. It said that it would be great if someone could lend it some money.

Alice: So I gave it some Dennies. I told it not to worry about paying me back and to just help its owner however it could.

Alice: I didn't think a Bangboo would go so far unless things were truly desperate.

A-Yao: You're so kind, Miss Alice... To be honest, there's some truth to what Big Guin told you. The company I worked for suddenly laid off a bunch of people without warning and didn't even pay severance. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, my lease was up...

A-Yao: I've been looking for a new job everywhere and couldn't find anything. I was on the verge of packing up and leaving this place.

A-Yao: But if I left, I probably wouldn't be able to take Big Guin with me... I'd have to hand it off to a friend. Maybe it realized that and got scared. So it started going out on its own, trying to earn some extra Dennies for me.

A-Yao: There aren't many jobs a Bangboo can do. It must've realized it could never earn enough for rent... and that's when it started asking people on the street for help.

Alice: Um... I know Mr. Big Guin wasn't really trying to deceive anyone. I was the one who told it to just take the money, like it had won the lottery or something...

A-Yao: Yeah, when it came back and said it had won a jackpot, I was so happy. I praised it for hours... That money really helped us stay afloat a little longer... but it still wasn't enough.

So Big Guin went to Alice again?

So it tried asking for help again?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So... Big Guin went back out on the streets, ran into Alice again, and told her its owner was in more trouble?

Big Guin: Ehn-ne-ne... Ehn-ne-ehn-ne... (Yeah... I didn't want to be separated from A-Yao. If we had lots and lots of money, we could stay together. That's why I lied to Miss Alice. I'm so sorry...)

A-Yao: That's still no excuse for you to trick people! No matter the reason, lying is wrong!

Big Guin: Ehn-ne-ne... (I—I'm sorry... I let you down, A-Yao. I'm really sorry...)

Alice: So no one's life was actually in danger after all... Whew, that's a relief.

Alice: When Big Guin told me about the gang fight and the kidnapping, I really thought something truly awful had happened!

A-Yao: But Miss Alice... This is your money. Even if you gave it to Big Guin willingly, it's not ours to keep...

A-Yao: Please take these Dennies back, Miss Alice. It might not be the exact amount, but I'll keep working part-time to repay the rest. I'm really sorry.
Big Guin, we're having a serious talk about this when we get home! You've caused enough trouble!

Big Guin was only worried about you...

You should indeed talk to it about this.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍It seems to me that Big Guin was only acting out of fear of losing its owner... Although the way it handled things wasn't right, its heart was in the right place. I'm sure it'll learn with a bit of guidance. / Honestly, I think Big Guin did all this because it was just scared of losing its owner... Although the way it handled things wasn't right, its heart was in the right place. With a little help, I'm sure it'll do better.‍)

Alice: Right! I agree with (‍Wise / Belle‍). A Bangboo that symmetrical has to be a good kid deep down!

A-Yao: Symmetrical...? Uh, I'm not following...
Anyway, please take the money back, Miss Alice. We've finished what we came here to do, so we'll be going now...

Alice: Wait a moment, Miss A-Yao. May I ask what you used to do for work?

A-Yao: I studied biotech in school, and used to work for a pharmaceutical company... but the business started going downhill. They had to let a bunch of people go, with no severance or anything...

Alice: ...

Alice: Miss A-Yao, I am not going to accept this money. However, would you be open to me referring you for a job?

A-Yao: A job? What do you mean? Miss Alice... you're still a student, aren't you?

Alice: Yes, but I do have some connections in the pharmaceutical industry. And I happen to know a company that's been short-staffed for a while. You seem to have the right background, so I think you might just be a perfect fit.

Alice: Once things settle down and you're back on your feet, you can contact me and pay back the money Big Guin owes.

Big Guin: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne! (Miss Alice, you didn't blame me even after I lied... and you're still helping my owner. You're the best!)

A-Yao: R–Really?! I have a job again? I don't have to leave after all?

Alice: Of course. Just leave me your contact info, and I'll reach out to you promptly.

A-Yao: Miss Alice... even after everything Big Guin did, you're still so kind to us... I don't even know how to thank you...

You say goodbye to A-Yao and Big Guin, who can't stop thanking you both.
As they turn to head back to the small place they call home, their little haven in this city, their shadows stretch long in the golden glow of the setting sun, so close together they almost look like one.

Alice: This way... they won't have to separate, right?

Aww, you're so kind.

You're such a kind soul, Alice.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Even though it was a pretty flimsy lie, you still worried about them with all your heart... And even after being deceived, you were still willing to trust them and help them out again. You really are a kind soul, Alice.

Alice: A kind soul? I—I'm not really...

Alice: Besides, the job opening is real, and Miss A-Yao clearly has the talents and skills it requires. All I did was give her a little push. Even without me, she and Big Guin probably still would've pulled through.

Alice: Plus, it's clear from her demeanor and actions that she's a kind, honest person. Someone like that will always find a way to succeed, no matter where she ends up.

But it's also because you're kind...

That's something only someone kind like you would notice.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But that's exactly what makes you kind, Alice. You noticed a struggling Bangboo when everyone else just walked by. You saw something in a stranger that no one else did. That's not something just anyone would do. And the more you try to deny it, the more convinced I am — you really are a gentle soul.

Alice: You... (‍Wise / Belle‍), stop saying stuff like that! You're making me blush... In my eyes, the real gentle soul here is clearly—

Alice: N—No... Let's leave it at that! And don't think I'll cave just 'cause you're looking at me like that!

Trust Rank Upgrade to Friendly with Alice Thymefield

(Idle): Alice: Gentle?

(Talk to Alice again, optional): Alice: I'm not as gentle as you say... In my opinion, there's someone else who fits that description better.; Alice: (‍HeHeText for Wise / SheSheText for Belle‍)'s there with me, doing things I'm too scared to do, and seriously helping me through my troubles. (‍HeHeText for Wise / SheSheText for Belle‍) hates injustice and stands by (‍hishisText for Wise / herherText for Belle‍) beliefs... I heard (‍heheText for Wise / shesheText for Belle‍)'s helped lots of people out of tough spots before...; Alice: And (‍heheText for Wise / shesheText for Belle‍)'d tell me that I'm not a coward, that I have a brave heart...; Alice: No no... I can't say any more!
