Script
Waterfront Central Business District
Head to the Central Business District for the law dissemination event while trying to learn more about the stolen Sky Gladiolus.
You: Wow, the Central Business District sure is busy. I bet I can distribute these brochures in no time at all.
You: Where should I start... Huh?
You: That guy over there looks familiar... Marius!?
Central Business District
You see someone familiar on the streets. Go confirm if it's Marius!
You: Marius, it's you. What are you doing here?
Marius: Pax is the sponsor of this year's City Anniversary event. I just finished a meeting about event planning. I'm heading back to headquarters now.
Marius: I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing?
You: I'm handing out brochures for this year's City Anniversary and collecting information related to the Sky Gladiolus theft.
Marius: Eh, are you saying the Sky Gladiolus, which were bred specifically for City Anniversary, got stolen?
You: Yes. It's all over the news.
Marius: Let me check it out on my phone...
Marius takes out his phone and skims through today's top headlines. His expression quickly changes to a frown.
Marius: I can't believe this... Miss, are you on the case?
You: No. I'm just trying to kill two birds with one stone by gathering some information for the police while I distribute these.
You: I was thinking about talking with the police after I'm done to see if they need any help in the investigation.
Marius: I'm free now. How about I join you on your investigation? Two heads are better than one. What do you think?
You: Then I suppose I'll have to thank you for being such a helpful citizen.
Marius: Anything you need. Let's go!
With Marius's help, everything goes smoothly.
You quickly finish distributing all the brochures in Central Business District.
West Hemingway Heights Street
With Marius' help, you quickly pass out the pamphlets and collect the information. Now, head to Hemingway Heights to investigate.
Marius: Are you tired? Do you want to take a break and get something to eat?
You: I'm okay. It's been much more efficient with your help.
Marius: Still, don't push yourself too much.
You: I'm... Huh!?
Marius: What's wrong? You look surprised.
You: Look at those two people standing at the subway station... Is that Luke and Dr. Richter?
Marius: Miss, you are mistaken.
You: I don't think so... Let's go over there.
The two people standing by the subway station... appear to be Luke and Vyn? Go confirm it's them!
Vyn: What do you think about the theft of the Sky Gladiolus?
Luke: As far as I can tell, someone might be trying to provoke the police...
You: Luke and Dr. Richter? It really is you guys! I wasn't sure.
Luke: [Player]? What a coincidence! I just wrapped up a case. Vyn and I ran into each other at the exit of the subway station.
Vyn: I was just on my way back from seeing a patient when I came across Luke. What about you? Why brings you here?
You: It's our office's turn to put on the legal literacy program this year. I volunteered to hand out brochures.
Vyn: Our fates must be intertwined since we came across each other in this sea of people.
Marius: I'm surprised to bump into you like this. I wonder if I should call it a coincidence or not.
You: Coincidence is such a wonderful thing, isn't it? We should celebrate.
You: How about we go get dinner together after this? Let's get Mr. Wing to join us too. Are you guys free?
Luke: Ah, dinner?
Vyn: ...
Marius: Well...
You: (Why is it suddenly so quiet? Did I say something wrong...?)
Suddenly, the atmosphere has gotten awkward. Change the topic quickly!
You: By the way, Luke, I heard you two were talking about the Sky Gladiolus theft.
Luke: Yes. The news is all over town right now. It's hard to not notice.
Vyn: The Sky Gladiolus are expensive to maintain and transport. How did they disappear so suddenly without a trace?
Vyn: There must be factors that we are currently unaware of.
Luke: It is strange that the police haven't made any public statements considering how much pressure from the public there must be.
Vyn: [Player], what does Artem think about this case?
You: Well... Mr. Wing and I have been busy with the program. We're planning to conduct an investigation after the work at hand is done.
Marius: Let's quit wasting time standing around talking about it and just go ask him.
Luke: True. [Player], I'll help you distribute the brochures. After that, let's go ask him about it.
Vyn: I have nothing scheduled for the rest of the day, so I can go with you.
You: That's great. Let's go to Amity Heights to hand out the brochures. When that's done, we'll go to Mr. Wing.
