Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Event Let's see what Mr. Click and Whyte are beefing about today

Sounds like another shouting match coming from across the back door of Amber Hall... probably Mr. Click and Whyte at it again...
(Idle)
Whyte Ehn-ne? (You're here?)
Mr. Click: You're here!
(Talk to Mr. Click)
Whyte Ehn-ehn-ne, ehn-ne? (You're really energetic today! Have you finally discovered the fun of people-watching, Mr. Click?)
Mr. Click: What are you talking about?! We're already halfway through the match. I'm just worried you'll be too upset if you lose! So I'm giving you extra time to take your photos!
Whyte Ehn-ehn-ne, ne? (Ref, Ref! It's already the fourth day. Who do you think has a better chance of winning?)
Icon Dialogue Talk Every good story has its twists and turns...
Icon Dialogue Talk Don't jump to conclusions halfway through!
Mr. Click: You sure know how to keep a secret, Pumpkin!
Whyte Ehn-ne! (You're not revealing a thing!)
Mr. Click: So what are we shooting today? Let's get going. I can't wait to get into action!
Whyte Ehn-ehn-ne ehn-ne! (The Ref says she's [sic] found another rare target on the list!)
Icon Dialogue Event That's right. Let's go!
(Progress to "Talk to Norma and start filming")
Icon Dialogue Talk Hold on, let me get ready first.
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Ask Mr. Click and Whyte what today's competition is about

Ask Mr. Click and Whyte about today's competition — probably something like what to shoot, where to shoot, which Ethereal to blast... the usual.
(Talk to Mr. Click again, after exiting dialogue)
Whyte: Ehn-ne! (C'mon, Ref, let's go "people watching"!)
Icon Dialogue Event Let's go!
Icon Dialogue Talk Maybe later.
(Select "Icon Dialogue Event Let's go!" to progress)
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Talk to Norma and start filming

Norma is ready for her shoot. Time to hit the shutter!
(Idle)
Norma: Lollipops... Where would I even find one of those...
Norma: Ask Veli! Or Sigrid.
(Talk to Norma)
Norma: I can't teach you! I can't!
Icon Dialogue Talk What's wrong?
Norma: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍)! Great, you're here! Take over my class, I'm heading back to my research!
Icon Dialogue Talk Me?
Icon Dialogue Talk What happened?
Norma: Bangboo Design is supposed to be the easiest class... An entry-level course! These students... their design skills are about as sharp as a bag of chips that expired three years ago!
Norma: All I asked for was jet-powered propulsion for long-range flight, defensive weapons capable of withstanding attacks from the most high-risk Ethereals, and no significant increase in Bangboo size. Was that really so much to ask?!
Icon Dialogue Talk ...Yeah, like that could ever be done.
Norma: And I even slipped a hint right into the assignment itself! "Focus on the conversion efficiency and energy output of excess Ether in a micro-reactor"—I basically gave them the answer!
Norma: —Aaargh, I'm so furious! I'm going to the academic office! From now on, no idiots are allowed in my class!
Icon Dialogue Talk But you're Norma, the genius!
Icon Dialogue Talk If you try, you'll definitely get them to understand.
Norma: ...Ugh... Fine, you're right! I'll try harder! I am a genius—I can even teach idiots!
Norma: But I just lashed out in anger...
Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne, ehn! (It's fine! Kids don't hold grudges! A lollipop is all it takes for them to make up!)
Icon Dialogue Talk Whyte, you suddenly joined the conversation!
Norma: That simple...?! No wonder kids and Bangboo get along so well...
Norma: Oh right, weren't you here to take photos?
Norma: I always keep my word. If I said I'd take photos, I'll do it properly! Besides, you even helped me!
Whyte: Ehn-ne! (Then let's go over there first!)
Icon Dialogue Event Take a photo now!
(Open Photo Mode)
Icon Dialogue Talk I need to prepare.
(Talk to Norma again, after exiting dialogue)
Norma: Hurry up! Not done yet? I need to get back to my research!
Icon Dialogue Event Let's take it now!
(Open Photo Mode)
Icon Dialogue Talk Wait a minute!
(Photo requirements)
  • Objective Film Norma
  • Objective Use Sky Stage Frame
  • Objective Use the Cursed Mirror Sticker
(After taking a photo that fulfills all photo requirements)
Norma: You really captured my brilliant genius perfectly! I love it!
Norma: If you need anything, just come find me anytime!
Icon Dialogue Talk Sure!
Icon Dialogue Talk See you next time!
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Talk to Mr. Click and Whyte

Now it's Mr. Click's time to shine. Go talk to him.
(Idle)
Whyte: Ehn-ne! (Come check out the photos!)
Mr. Click: Hmm...
(Talk to Mr. Click)
Mr. Click: Soft lighting and a character that blends seamlessly with the atmosphere... Hmm... even outside of combat, it's still worth appreciating!
Mr. Click: Nice photo! I approve!
Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ne! (Photographing kids is my specialty!)
Icon Dialogue Talk Whyte, you are really good with kids.
Icon Dialogue Talk You even know about the lollipop trick!
Whyte: Ne-ehn, ehn-ne-ne ehn-ehn-ne! (Heh-heh, my human friend taught me! I've tested it myself! Works like a charm!)
Whyte: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ehn-ne! (Kids are like little birds—pure and kind! So getting along with them is actually very easy!)
Whyte: Ne-ne-ehn-ehn! (I hope... they all have a bright and wonderful future ahead of them!)
Mr. Click: My turn! Come on, Pumpkin, let's go back and jump into a VR battle!
Mr. Click: Cute photos are fun, but what really gets my heart racing is intense, thrilling combat!
Icon Dialogue Danger Come on, let's go!
(Open event interface)
Icon Dialogue Talk Give me a moment.
(Talk to Mr. Click again, after exiting dialogue)
Mr. Click: Ready, pumpkin? Let's go capture some killer battle highlights right now!
Icon Dialogue Danger Let's go!
Icon Dialogue Talk Maybe later.
Icon Dialogue Event Tracked Head to the VR space for combat filming

Amber Hall rooms are equipped with VR gear. Jump into the VR space and get your combat shots fired up.
(After completing Serpentine Rapid Strike)
Mr. Click: Click-click-click-click-click! I'm on fire today!
Whyte: Ehn-ne... (Not bad at all...)
Mr. Click: You took some good shots too! But... three seconds of shooting, six hours of squatting! Nothing beats the thrill of combat!
Mr. Click: Seriously... How do you find enjoyment in this?
Whyte: Ehn-ne, ehn-ehn-ehn-ne! Ehn-ne! (Hmm... Every time I see someone new, I add them to my Watcher's Catalog!)
Icon Dialogue Talk Oh, I see, like stamp collecting!
Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne! Ehn-ne ehn-ehn— (Yes, exactly! But what's more valuable is the feeling. Through all kinds of methods, I get to know all sorts of different people—)
Whyte: Ehn-ne, ne... ehn. (Adults excited to get off work on time, children troubled only by homework, people idly waiting for the rain to stop under eaves... Thoughts flow out from their bodies, taking on all kinds of forms.)
Whyte: Ehn... Ne-ne-ehn, ehn-ne~ Ne-ehn! (Especially those "rare" people... They're always impossible to find~ Yet they suddenly appear at the street corners where I watch people!)
Whyte: Ehn-ne-ne ehn-ne... (Like a unicorn from a fairytale stepping out of the forest and appearing right before me...)
Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne! (There's no meeting more beautiful than this!)
Mr. Click: What a heart-stirring description! Sounds great!
Icon Dialogue Talk Are there other Bangboo who enjoy watching people too?
Whyte: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne... (Oh, yes! I have a friend named Dr. Bang who commissions me to take photos of humans! But whenever he sees the photos, he keeps muttering something like "serious imitation" for some reason...)
