Script
Celebration Plaza
Go to the Celebration Plaza and ask citizens what they think of the city celebration attire Jen Mendoza is designing.
Marius: There's a lot of people in the square today. Is everyone out having fun because of the City Anniversary?
You: I think so. Okay, how do we start sending out the questionnaires?
Marius: Since we are collecting opinions about the City Anniversary's commemorative costume, it's better for us to consider what people of all ages might want.
Marius: How about we distribute the questionnaires in batches according to age?
You: Okay, sounds good.
Hurry up and ask citizens for suggestions on the city celebration attire!
Young Man: The police are so useless. I can't believe they haven't caught Anne Croft! If I were a detective I would have caught her long ago.
Young Woman: Whatever. If you were a cop, all you would do is eat donuts, you'd never catch anyone!
Young Man: Honey, you have to have some faith in me. I was the one who found Uncle Sam's dog, wasn't I?
You: Excuse me. Do you mind taking a survey? We're collecting opinions on the commemorative costume for the City Anniversary.
Young Woman: Sure. I can fill it out.
Young Man: Give me one, too. I have a lot of ideas about the commemorative costume. Can I draw them on the survey?
Young Woman: Just fill it out if you want to. Stop babbling or you'll get it once we get home!
Young Man: Okay, okay, my dear. My mistake.
You: (Hmm... I guess that's one way of showing love...)
Boy: Mom, this beautiful gladiolus is for you.
Boy's Mother: Thank you, baby. You are such a sweet child.
You: Sorry, these flowers are decorations for Celebration Plaza. You can't pick them...
Boy's Mother: He is just a kid. Besides, there are so many flowers in the plaza, what's wrong with picking a few!?
[Debate]
Boy's Mother: You are such an annoying woman... Ugh! Forget it! Baby, let's go!
Marius: How could she be so self-righteous when she's the one at fault...
You: Forget it. Let's just get back to the survey so we can help Ms. Mendoza to finish it soon.
Boy's Mother: Miss, you should just mind your own business.
You: (What the heck!? Calm down, calm down. I'm sure I can convince her!)
You: Excuse me. We're collecting opinions on the commemorative costume for the anniversary. Do you have time for a survey?
Granny: It's hard for me to read with my old eyes... Can you fill it out for me?
You: No problem. What kind of commemorative costume would you like to see?
Granny: Well... something elegant but simple, I guess. It'd be great if there's a paradise flycatcher image on it.
You: I'll write that down. Thank you.
You've finished collecting the completed surveys from citizens. Sort them out on the spot.
You: The surveys are finally done!
Marius: It was a lot of work to collect so many responses. Jen Mendoza would have been overwhelmed if she had to do it all by herself.
You: I hope the information is helpful... Hmm? My phone is ringing.
You: "Miss [Player], how are the surveys going? I've found Anne Croft's order. When will you guys be here?"
Marius: She found the order? We're done too. What perfect timing.
You: Alright. Let's hurry back to Ms. Mendoza's store.
Personal Brand Shop
What are the contents of Anne Croft's delivery order? Ask Jen Mendoza in Hemingway Heights.
Jen Mendoza is still standing by the sofa in the reception area when you return to the store.
However, there is now an envelope placed on the table.
You: Ms. Mendoza, the surveys are all here.
Jen Mendoza: Thanks for the help. You two are life-savers. Here are the original order forms you wanted.
Jen Mendoza opens the envelope, takes out the order forms, and slides them over to you.
Purchase Order: Wedding dress customization
Customer: Anne Croft.
You: She... asked you for a wedding dress?
You: (Anne Croft was getting married? That can't be... No one said that she's engaged right now.)
Jen Mendoza: Yeah... But I've always thought that Miss Croft was a strange customer.
Marius: Why did you think that?
Jen Mendoza: For custom-made clothing, a down payment is enough. However, when placing her order, Miss Croft insisted she would pay for the dress upfront.
Jen Mendoza: I told her, "Could you show me your fiancé's suit? It'd be good if I can use it as a reference for your dress' design."
Jen Mendoza: But Miss Croft said, "Don't worry about him. Just do what I say."
You: Well... What did she want?
Jen Mendoza: She drew a complicated design on the back of the order form and didn't say anything else.
Jen Mendoza turned the order form over and pointed to a certain place.
There was a design drawn in black pen, looking like an abstract painting.
Marius: The sketch had mountains and trees, and by the trees were flowers... Flying above the trees were... birds? The design's pretty complicated.
Jen Mendoza: Back then, I asked Miss Croft what the meaning of the design was...
Jen Mendoza: She just told me to think about it a bit more. If I really couldn't get it, I could consult others.
Marius: I presume... You asked other people, but they didn't understand it either?
Jen Mendoza: It is as you just said, Mr. von Hagen. I asked my friends working in the design industry. Everyone thought it was just an abstract design.
You: Can I take this order form and the documents back to the police station for investigation?
Jen Mendoza: Sure, that won't be a problem.
You: There was no need to consider the bridegroom's opinion? How strange... Did her fiancé really have no opinion?
Jen Mendoza: On that day Miss Croft came by herself. I didn't get to see her fiancé.
Marius: But the process to make a tailor-made wedding dress is complicated. Surely there was more than one appointment? Did she come by herself every time?
Jen Mendoza: Just as you said, Mr. von Hagen. The process to make a tailor-made wedding dress is extremely complicated...
Jen Mendoza: From the initial design to the end product, you have to draft the design, make the patterns, confirm the fit... During this period, you have to repeatedly check in with the customer...
Jen Mendoza: But Miss Croft only came here once. After that, I never saw her again.
Jen Mendoza: Furthermore, she never mentioned her fiancé at all. She only told me to make her wedding dress beautiful.
Jen Mendoza: Customers like her who spend money and disappear really give me headaches.
You: She was ordering a wedding dress without her fiancé? That's really weird...
Marius: Her order was made three months ago, but she was still dining at Penny's Comfort Foods every day until last week.
Marius: Why would she suddenly customize a wedding dress when she couldn't let go of her ex-boyfriend?
You: Could it be that her ex-boyfriend came back after three years?
Marius: If that's the case, why didn't she tell anyone? Why did she do all of this alone?
Marius: If your lover had retuned to you, you wouldn't choose to customize your wedding dress all by yourself, would you?
You: I don't understand her. She is as secretive as the passwords she sets... with layers and layers of protection...
Marius: Let's not overthink it for now. We'll just take this order form back and show everyone.
You: Okay, let's go back. Thanks for the help, Ms. Mendoza. See you next time.
Jen Mendoza: You're welcome. It's the least I can do.
