 Meet Evelyn at Reverb Arena

---

I invited Evelyn to Reverb Arena. Meet up with her at the agreed time.

Reverb Arena

You meet up with Evelyn at Reverb Arena

(Talk to Evelyn)

Evelyn: Here you are, Manager.

Evelyn: Ah, I wasn't paying attention and that kid just ran in.

Evelyn: Good thing Reverb Arena isn't that big. Let's go find him.

Who are we looking for? What kid are you talking about?

Is it about what you mentioned that was giving you a headache?

Evelyn: It's a long story... Let's get inside first.

(While following Evelyn)

Evelyn: Wonder if it's gonna be crowded today.

Evelyn: Even though Reverb Arena looks pretty stylish...

Evelyn: I actually... don't really like it here.

Evelyn: Stuff like old sewers...

Evelyn: They always bring back some bad memories for me.

(If Evelyn is too far away)

Evelyn: It's packed here.

Evelyn: It's easy to get separated.

---

(Upon reaching Wandererboo)

Evelyn: Hope everything goes smoothly today...

(Talk to Evelyn and Wandererboo)

Wandererboo: Ehn-neh... Ehn-ne (Y—You really think... i—it'd go s—smoothly...)

Evelyn: Don't worry. Lots of people here want to adopt a Bangboo. We'll definitely find you a good home.

What's up with this Bangboo?

Evelyn: I told you about it, right? About the rather impulsive decision I made the other day... This is it.

Wandererboo: Ehn-ne neh... (So... y-you're t-t-talking ab-about me...)

Evelyn: That night I found it wandering around the streets and bumping into things, getting itself all messed up.

Evelyn: I felt bad for it, so I took it to the shop to get fixed.

Evelyn: But you know how busy I am with work, and I can't always be home taking care of it.

Evelyn: I often come back to find it standing alone by the door waiting for me and it just makes me feel even worse.

Evelyn: So I want to find it a home where it can be happy together with a nice, warm family... or something like that.

Evelyn: Besides people coming for the shows, there are also Trainer Bangboo from Marcel Group here recruiting occasionally.

Evelyn: Seems like whether it's learning skills for a job or being adopted by some rich family, both are decent options for this Wandererboo here.

Wandererboo: Nhe-ne... Ehn-neh... Neh ne... Ehn-en (Op-options... Let -let me th-think...)

Evelyn: Yeah, I know you're thinking the same. Let's just hope today goes well.

Evelyn: Manager, you come here often, right? You probably know the place better than I do.

Evelyn: Do you think it's better to learn skills and get a job or just chill and get adopted by a rich family?

Learning a skill is definitely the way to go.

Evelyn: Well, let's first go talk to the Trainer Bangboo over there.

You walk over to the Bangboo trainer booth, and a trainer stops what it's doing and comes over.

Coach Work: Hey there! I'm Coach Work from Marcel Group. Anything I can help you with?

Evelyn: Hello. I found this Wandererboo on the street a few days ago, and I think it deserves a better future.

Evelyn: Do you have any suitable training programs for it?

Coach Work: Hmm, let me check.

Coach Work checks the Wandererboo's base components and frowns.

Coach Work: This little guy's got an outdated setup. Even though a lot of the parts have been replaced, it really doesn't help much.

Coach Work: And its language module...

Wandererboo: En... Ehn... Ne-ne-ehn... (I—I'll... t—try m—my best...)

Coach Work: I'm really sorry, but I think it might need some special one-on-one training, which we can't provide here.

Wandererboo: Ehn... (I—I'm s—s—sorry...)

Evelyn: It's not your fault. No need to apologize. I just didn't think it through.

Don't be so down.

Let the adults figure this out.

Trust increase with Evelyn Chevalier

Evelyn: Exactly. There are plenty of beings out there who can survive just fine without any skills.

Evelyn: Just focus on being happy and being yourself.

Wandererboo: En... Neh... (I—I—I'm h—happy...)

With Evelyn's warm encouragement, the Wandererboo's expression flashes. Is it... crying?

Just go with the rich family and take it easy!

Evelyn: I don't really care what happens to me, but I hope this little one can lead a carefree, easy life.

Evelyn: You're right. The power of Dennies is undeniable. Let's see if we can find someone suitable.

It looks like nobody takes any interest in the Wandererboo. You follow Evelyn and the little one as they weave through the crowd.
Suddenly, a young guy catches Evelyn's eye.

Sean: Tsk, I can't believe Reverb Arena would even showcase this junk. The lines are stiff and the colors are just awful...

Evelyn: Sounds like you have some strong opinions about the art here. Let me guess, you are an art student, right?

Sean: Ahem, yes. I guess my artistic vibe is hard to miss.

Sean: With an outfit like this, you seem like an agent with an eye for good art. Are you looking to collaborate with me? You've got good taste.

Evelyn: Not really... I just wanted to ask, what do you think of this Bangboo?

Sean: This... Bangboo?

Sean: Tsk, no offense, but I'm shocked this model is still around. It feels like something from another era.

Sean: It's so plain. It doesn't inspire me at all. I think you should just toss it.

Evelyn's right hand gives off a soft clicking sound.
You have to change the subject and pull her aside.

Evelyn: Hm...

Don't even bother with someone with poor taste.

Were you about to punch him just now?

Trust increase with Evelyn Chevalier

Evelyn: Yeah, I almost lost it.

Wandererboo: Ehn... Ehn-en-nehh...? (I—I'm... p—plain...?)

Evelyn: No way. That guy's opinion doesn't matter at all. You're definitely the most adorable kid.

Wandererboo: Ehn... (R-R-Really...?)

Evelyn: Yes, don't doubt yourself.

Wandererboo: Enn... Enn-nhe... En... Nehh (B—but... I h—h—have no job... n—n—no h—home...)

Evelyn: None of this is your fault. It's mine. I shouldn't have even thought about giving you up.

Evelyn: I should know better than anyone how it feels to want a place to belong.

Evelyn: So, do you want to come home with me?

Wandererboo: Ehn-neh?! (C-come... home?!)

Evelyn: Do you not want to?

Wandererboo: Enhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (Yessssssssssssss!)

The Wandererboo's eyes sparkle as it finally finds a place to belong.

It looks so happy!

Evelyn: Even with my inadequate care, it still wants to come home with me. What a naive and innocent cutie.

Evelyn: Since I'm bringing it home, we need a name for it. Got any ideas?

I've been using numbers mostly...

Evelyn: Your Bangboo have already claimed all the good numbers, so that might not work.

Reduplicatives sound cute.^{[Note 1]}

Evelyn: Tratra? Yaoyao? Wiswis? Belbel? Honestly, they all sound a bit weird.

Evelyn: Can't find one that I like. Coming up with a name is pretty tricky. I thought you'd have some good ideas.

Evelyn: No worries. We can take our time on this when we get home.

Wandererboo: Nhe-na-nhe-na-nhe-na-nhe! (Think, think, think!)

Significant Trust increase with Evelyn Chevalier

(Idle)

Evelyn: Choco? No, that's not right...

Evelyn: Maybe we should ask Miss Yao?

Evelyn: She might come up with something clever.

Evelyn: Hm, never mind...

Evelyn: "Snap" isn't a great name either...
