Xiao'Zhao! / You there?

Icon DMs REPLY
Xiao'Zhao!
You there?
Message Zhao Icon
...
Icon DMs REPLY
What's wrong?
?
Message Zhao Icon
Ah... I'm so worn out.
Message Zhao Icon
After several days of intense investigation and Q&A sessions at presentations, even I have become exhausted — my social battery is completely drained.
Icon DMs REPLY
I'll get out of your hair then.
I was gonna hit you up to hang out.
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
I'll leave you be then. Was gonna ask if you wanted to hang out.
Message Zhao Icon
Wait up! I wanna come!
Icon DMs REPLY
Didn't you say you were worn out?
Didn't you say you were socially drained?
Message Zhao Icon
Oh, you're different! These past few days, because of work, I've had to carefully weigh every single word I say to everyone, evaluating the real needs and value behind each conversation.
Message Zhao Icon
But with you, I don't have to think at all — we can just keep chatting away. Talking to you actually recharges my social battery, and I need that energy boost!
Message Zhao Icon
Quick, you just mentioned going out, right? Where to? Let's find a place with a nice open view where I can clear my head!

How've you been lately? / How's work been going lately?

Icon DMs REPLY
How've you been lately?
Message Zhao Icon
(‍Hey Wise, how've you been lately?Hey Wise, how've you been lately? / Hey Belle, how've you been lately?Hey Belle, how've you been lately?‍)
How's work been going lately?
Message Zhao Icon
(‍Hey Wise, how's work going lately?Hey Wise, how's work going lately? / Hey Belle, how's work going lately?Hey Belle, how's work going lately?‍)
Message Zhao Icon
What a coincidence! I had just typed out this message on my phone, but before I could even send it, yours came through first!
Message Zhao Icon
As for me, things have been pretty smooth lately, both in life and work — no major headaches. It's going well, but kinda boring, you know... How about you?
Icon DMs REPLY
Same.
Me too.
Icon DMs REPLY
Bored? Come hang out with me!
Bored? Wanna meet up?
Message Zhao Icon
Wanna go hang out somewhere?
Message Zhao Icon
Ah! You beat me to it again!
Icon DMs REPLY
Looks like my hands haven't gotten slow yet.
Never underestimate a Proxy's quick hands.
Message Zhao Icon
Fine! But I bet... I came up with the idea to hang out first, and you just typed faster than me...
Message Zhao Icon
So I miss you more!
Icon DMs REPLY
Agreed!
So, where should we go?
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Totally agree! So where should we hang out?
Message Zhao Icon
Hmm... I wanna go see something super cute.
Icon DMs REPLY
Something super cute? Just look in the mirror!
Something super cute? Just take a look at your own photo!
Message Zhao Icon
Alright, I just did! I'm so cute! Now I wanna see some different cuteness!

Invitations

Port Elpis

Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Nice open view... How about checking out the sea at Port Elpis?
Message Zhao Icon
Sweet! Facing the ocean, munching on fries while watching seagulls do the same — this is exactly the chill vibe I need right now.
Message Zhao Icon
Let's meet at the pathway intersection in Port Elpis! Right under the billboard with the big fish on it — I'll be waiting for you!
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Icon Commission Default Empty-Headed by the Seaside
(The player failed to show up)
Message Zhao Icon
WiseBelle, I've got good news and bad news.
Icon DMs REPLY
Ah...
Oh no...
Message Zhao Icon
The good news is, after staring at the vast ocean all day, my social battery is finally recharged!
Message Zhao Icon
The bad news is I did it all alone, and the person who promised to join me —
Icon DMs REPLY
Sorry! Got caught up in some stuff!
I'd never do it again!
Message Zhao Icon
It's fine. My goal was fulfilled anyway~ Thanks for the advice, only...
Message Zhao Icon
At least shoot me a message if you're not coming next time!

Sixth Street

Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
There's this super cute shopkeeper on Sixth Street.
Message Zhao Icon
(‍Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but when you say cute shopkeeper... are you talking about yourself, Wise?Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but when you say cute shopkeeper... are you talking about yourself, Wise? / Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but the only cute shopkeeper I know of... is you, Belle.Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but the only cute shopkeeper I know of... is you, Belle.‍)
Icon DMs REPLY
No no no, there's a doggy shopkeeper!
Message Zhao Icon
A dog as shopkeeper? Like, an actual dog? Usually that's just a marketing gimmick — the dog's just a mascot while someone else is the real shopkeeper, right?
That's not it. The newsstand shopkeeper is a little dog.
Message Zhao Icon
A dog shopkeeper? Can a dog really run a newsstand? Must be some kind of gimmick...
Come see for yourself!
Seeing is believing!
Message Zhao Icon
Well then, it's on Sixth Street, right? Let's meet at the Sixth Street metro station entrance, and you can take me to see that adorable shopkeeper!
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Icon Commission Default Witness Howl's Cuteness
(The player failed to show up)
Message Zhao Icon
Didn't see either of them yesterday — the newsstand shopkeeper or the video store manager.
Icon DMs REPLY
Oh, I forgot!
Sorry, I was super busy!
Message Zhao Icon
Never mind, I wasn't really prepared when I went out yesterday. Only remembered halfway that I should've grabbed some pet treats. I'll be better prepared next time.
Icon DMs REPLY
Leave the preparations to me next time!
I'll handle the treats.
Message Zhao Icon
Hmm, alright, is this your way of making it up to me? I'll take it, but you better be on time next time!

Blazewood

Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Nice open view... how about heading to the Outer Ring?
Message Zhao Icon
The Outer Ring... Not many people go there, and I rarely go myself. But come to think of it, it's actually perfect for clearing my mind.
Icon DMs REPLY
Let's go check out Blazewood.
Blazewood's pretty cool.
Message Zhao Icon
Alright, it's settled then. I remember there's a prominent elevator in Blazewood — let's meet up at the lower level of it.

Icon Commission Default The Pusher and the Swinger
(The player failed to show up)
Message Zhao Icon
(‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), I've got good news and bad news.
Icon DMs REPLY
Ah...
Oh no...
Message Zhao Icon
Good news is, I've been staring at mountains and tumbleweeds for hours, and my social battery is finally recharged!
Message Zhao Icon
The bad news is I did it all alone, and the person who promised to join me —
Icon DMs REPLY
Sorry! Got caught up in some stuff!
I'd never do it again!

Failume Heights

Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
How about the pet shop in Failume Heights?
Message Zhao Icon
Oh, you mean that pet shop called Fluffy? Nice, I haven't been there in a while. Maybe they've got some new cuties in stock!
Icon DMs REPLY
See you at Failume Heights then!
Message Zhao Icon
Hmm, when you're in Failume Heights, you mostly hang around Suibian Temple, right? I'll head straight to the temple entrance to find you.
Then let's meet at Waifei Peninsula!
Message Zhao Icon

Icon Commission Default When I'm lonely, I always want to keep some pets
(The player failed to show up)
Message Zhao Icon
I didn't see you even when Manager Cairn began to feed the pets.
Icon DMs REPLY
Sorry, I forgot...
Sorry! Too busy then...
Message Zhao Icon
Don't flake on me next time, okay? At Krampus, pulling something like this would cost you a whole week of afternoon tea treats for the entire office.
Icon DMs REPLY
I can treat you to afternoon tea.
Let me make it up to you with afternoon tea for a week!
Message Zhao Icon
Haha, I'll put that on your tab — saving it for next time we meet!

Video Store Promoter Event

Requires Trust Rank: Friendly Trust Rank Friendly

(After accepting Commission: Niche Film)
Message Zhao Icon
WiseBelle, you know what a convenience store is?
Icon DMs REPLY
Yeah, there's one right outside my place.
Yeah, I know one right across from my place.
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Yeah, there's one right by my place, just across the street.
Message Zhao Icon
Sorry, let me rephrase that — you know a film called "The Convenience Store"? It's quite an obscure one.
Icon DMs REPLY
Yeah, I know, it's pretty niche stuff.
I've collected it, but haven't listed it yet.
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
Yeah, I know it's pretty niche. I've got a videotape of it, but it never hit the shelves.
Message Zhao Icon
Great! The movie got pulled from theaters due to poor ticket sales, that's why I wanted to ask you about it.
Message Zhao Icon
Not only do you know about it, but you've kept the tape... No exaggeration, when it comes to variety, your tiny video store already outshines many major chain businesses.
Icon DMs REPLY
If you wanna check it out, I've got playback equipment in my shop.
Feel free to drop by my shop!
Message Wise IconMessage Belle Icon
If you wanna check it out, I've got playback equipment in my shop. Feel free to come by!
Message Zhao Icon
Whoa, how'd you know I was just about to come over and take a peek?
Message Zhao Icon
Makes sense, you're a video store owner after all — you must've seen this kinda thing loads of times. Wait for me. I'll be at your door in a sec!
