Icon Dialogue Agent Commission Description

Orphie seems to be having quite the chat... Let's go see what they're [sic] up to!
(Idle)
Excited Kid: Wow!
Orphie: Hahah!
(Talk to Orphie)
Excited Kid: Sis, you're so cool!
Magus: Keep praising her like that and her tail will reach the sky! —Wait, I'm her tail.
Orphie: Hehe, you want to be praised too, right Captain?
Magus: Instead of throwing shade at me, how about doing a few extra rounds of training?

Story Description: As Orphie earnestly converses with the children, you can see traces of "Magus" in her. While the Captain rests, Orphie reveals some of her inner thoughts.


Excited Kid: Wow! Miss Orphie, you're amazing!
Orphie: Hmph hmph~ Cool, right? I practiced that set of moves all night!
Magus: Stop wasting your energy showing off to children!
Magus: You can't even get through one afternoon of training without flopping onto the floor! In an emergency, ample stamina is key to—
Orphie: Survival and victory! I knoooow! Don't ruin my moment, Captain! She just said I looked cool!
Excited Kid: Whoa! A talking gun... Miss gun lady! Can I—can I touch her?
Orphie: Huh? Um... I don't think she'd be too happy about that...
Orphie: She's kind of a grumpy gun lady!
Excited Kid: I'll touch her gently, just for a little bit, pretty please...?
Orphie: You heard her... Captain?
Magus: Hmph... Kids are such a pain!
Magus: I'm entering sleep mode. I better not wake up covered in fingerprints!
Magus: Sigh... Tactical strategy: Turn a blind eye...
Orphie: I promise I'll clean every smudge!
Orphie: Okay, you can touch now. Just be really gentle, alright?
Icon Dialogue Talk Magus is allowing that?
Icon Dialogue Talk Well this is a rare sight.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Well, this is a rare sight... I didn't think Captain Magus would allow something like this.Well, this is a rare sight...

Orphie: C'mon, Proxy, your turn! Wanna pet the Captain while she's in sleep mode?
Icon Dialogue Talk Can I?
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you sure that's okay?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Even if Captain Magus doesn't mind... isn't that technically part of your tail? Wouldn't that be kind of inappropriate?Even if Captain Magus doesn't mind... isn't that technically part of your tail? Wouldn't that be kind of inappropriate? / Huh? Really? I'm gonna do it then!Huh? Really? I'm gonna do it then!‍)
Orphie: Don't worry about it! You don't get a chance like this every day. Go for it!
Orphie: I take really good care of her. I promise, she feels amazing!
Under Orphie's enthusiastic persuasion, you reach out and gently pet Magus's frame. The structure feels intricate and clearly well cared for. Orphie's been putting in a lot of effort to keep her in perfect shape.
Excited Kid: When I grow up, can I get a cool weapon like this and fight Ethereals too?
Brave Kid: I want one too! I wanna fight Ethereals! And wipe out the Hollows!
Excited Kid: Miss Orphie! Miss Orphie! How can we be cool like you?
Orphie: Hmm... Well...
Orphie: You've gotta go to bed on time. No playing games under the covers after lights out, or your eyes'll go bad!
Orphie: And you've gotta eat your veggies! No picking out the bell peppers or broccoli and leaving them on your plate! If you do that, you'll never grow any taller!
Excited Kid: Whaaat? Being a cool soldier sounds kinda hard...
Orphie: Those are just the basics for becoming a proper grown-up! Alright, it's getting late. Time for you all to head home!
After the chattering kids say their goodbyes, one girl stays behind, still standing in front of Orphie, unwilling to leave.
Earnest Kid: If... if I do all those things, could I become a soldier like you?
Orphie: Being a soldier might look cool, but it's not as fun as it seems.
Earnest Kid: I know... My dad was in the Defense Force. One morning, he left for work and... he never came back.
Orphie: ...
Earnest Kid: But he was amazing! Mom told me he saved a lot of people!
Earnest Kid: I... I want to be amazing like my dad, too!
Orphie: Then... starting now, wake up an hour early every day to train your body.
Orphie: Keep your grades in the top 5% of your class!
Orphie: Study tactical theories in your free time. Start with rote memorization. If you can't even memorize them, you'll never be able to apply them.
Orphie: Track your physical stats daily. Keep your body in top condition, no matter what.
Orphie straightens her back, listing each requirement clearly and firmly as she looks down at the girl.
Even though there's a big height difference between them, you can feel it—right now, Orphie isn't talking to a child. She's speaking as a soldier to someone standing on equal ground.
Orphie: Did you get all that?
Earnest Kid: Mhm! I've memorized everything!
Orphie: Good. If you really stick with it, when you're older, I'll test you myself and welcome you into the squad.
Earnest Kid: 'll work hard! Thank you, bye-bye!
Icon Dialogue Talk For a second...
Icon Dialogue Talk Orphie was sounding like Magus.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍That really sounded like something Captain Magus would say. For a second, I thought it was her talking.That really sounded like something Captain Magus would say. For a second, I thought it was her talking. / For a sec there, it felt like I saw a bit of Captain Magus in you...For a sec there, it felt like I saw a bit of Captain Magus in you...‍)
Orphie: Really? Well... those were all things Captain told me...
Orphie: She's usually very strict, but every now and then, she finds little excuses to drag me out for a walk. And sometimes, she pretends not to notice when I'm being a little childish.
Orphie: I remember once during training, I fell asleep standing at attention... but instead of punishing me, she gave me a day off.
Orphie: I kept feeling uneasy about it afterwards... until I finally asked her why. And she said—
Orphie: "More than anything, I want you to grow into a fine soldier. But even more than that, I want you to live a full, free life."
Icon Dialogue Talk Magus is a good captain.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Captain Magus really looks out for her squad... especially for you, Orphie.
Icon Dialogue Talk Magus is kind of like a mom.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): She's like a strict but gentle mom... a really good one.
Orphie: That's what I always say! But she never takes it as a compliment!
Orphie: So, even if I slack off sometimes... I really am doing my best to become stronger every day!
Orphie: For her sake, I'll keep surviving out there, until I can live a full, free life!
Orphie: I don't want to see her sad anymore.
Orphie: But... let's keep that between us, okay? Don't tell her I said all that!

(Idle)
Orphie: This is our secret!
(Talk to Orphie again, optional)
Orphie: Keep this between us, okay? Don't tell the Captain!
Orphie: Besides, some things are just too emotional to say out loud — especially if the person they're about finds out...
