“What you look at and how you feel about those things is up to you. When the one you love looks at the same things and feels the same way, don’t you think that’s a beautiful thing?”
Yeah, I suppose it is.
Another Score Piece to add to the collection.
“If my beloved wife wants it, I’ll come here any number of times.”
“At first, I couldn’t see the beauty of this place. My wife has taught me all sorts of new things.”
Sounds like you two have things figured out for yourselves.
Indeed!
Hotel Bellhop: “You’re not staying with us?”
Nope! But we will be seeing what’s through the door behind you.
Oh? Let’s listen to one.
--------------
"They actually shine very bright,
but no one knows that.
They are in a place no one can reach.
So no one notices.
The stars never come near us.
Their light is too brilliant. It would take away our sight.
But someone is crying,
screaming in a dark place."

Grandma: “It’s an old poem.”
“If you act cold, you’ll never be able to warm others."
Uh… did anyone else get vaguely unsettled by that story? Just me? I’ll uh, just be going now.
I don’t think stomping your foot repeatedly is going to help much, man.
Anyway, that’s everything in the hotel, time to head back outside.
Too bad the tracks are probably frozen over, I bet this train would get us to Ritardando even faster than the ferry would.
“I heard it used to run a long time ago, before I was born.”
“Granny says she’s ridden on it. You think it’s true?”
It’s certainly possible.
Already got that covered!
“I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to make stew! I’ll cook it up in a big pot and serve my darling a delicious dinner.”
“Stew is perfect for cold days like this. It’s his favorite.”
Hell yeah, stew rules. Now I want some…
“Or is it just that living here, you don’t realize what’s good about your own town?”
“I want to get away from this cold place and go live somewhere warm.”
Take it from me, someone who’s lived in the American South their whole life, it’s not all sunshine and roses. It can get very hot here!
“Tenuto’s floral tea was fantastic. I wish I could have some again. But with the trade ships gone now, that’s impossible.”
I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that anymore, thanks to a certain group of people beating up a pirate gang by themselves.
“Fried chicken, roast fish, sautéed and marinated pork. From high class wine to green juice, we’ve got it all! Come one, come all!”
“Come to the pub! Come to the pub! How about a drink? Don’t stop with just one!”
“Drink your fill! But no minors, okay?”
Well, since we’re right outside and all, let’s poke around in the pub some.
“He’s making my drink taste bad.”
Jeez, so sorry for you.
“And today, too, just ‘cause I was a little late getting home she’s ranting about me missing dinner.”
“Hic! Who does she think earns the money, huh? Huh?! But in the end… in the end… That’s the only home I have to go back to!”
Um, did marriage counseling exist in the 1840’s? I sure hope it did, for their sake…
“Just look at this crisp lettuce!”
“Not that I’m giving you any.”
I didn’t even ask,
jeez.
“They said there’s gonna be a war with Forte and they closed the mountains near the border. We were ordered back to Baroque ‘cause they said it was dangerous. It’s been a big mess, that’s for sure.”
“What? I don’t look like a miner? Maybe I’ve been drinking too much, huh? Won’t be able to work with this beer belly! Bwa ha ha!”
The situation between Baroque and Forte is getting worse by the day. Hopefully we can do something about it before it escalates to all-out war…
Waitress: “I’m going crazy here with how busy we are and he just keeps rearranging the wine!”
Bartender: “Of course, you can’t have alcohol. But you can talk to the other customers if you like.”
Way ahead of you there.
“I’ve been to a lot of ports, but I’ve never seen one as nice as this.”
“Whoops, I forgot, kids aren’t supposed to drink.”
Is that a thing you can just forget about on the high seas? I guess so…
“So when we get to eat food on land like this, it’s the most delicious thing ever.”
“Hmm? Me?! What? I’m not drunk! Hic! How can you call this drunk? I’m fine fine fine fine fiiiiiiine! I can walk home JUST fine. Hic!”
“Pretty girly… I wuv you!”
Whoa, back off, creep. You need to sit down and chill out for a while. Let’s just see what’s through the door in the back.
Employee: “What is it? Are you one of us? Huh? No?”
“Ah, it’s just rough by myself. I was hoping maybe you were going to help. They’re really hard on me here. Do this, do that, always angry. I swear this place is adding wrinkles to my face. Oh! Hey, don’t tell them I said that! I’m still doing my job!”
“What? Just now? N-no, I wasn’t goofing off! I was, uh, just taking a break!”
Relax, our lips are sealed. There isn’t anything else in the wine cellar or the rest of the tavern, so it’s back outside for us.
“I’ve cooled off now, so I think I’ll go back inside. I need to finish my knitting.”
“What am I knitting? A sweater! It’s cold here all year long, so even if it takes me a while to knit it, I don’t have to worry about it not being ready in time.”
That’s a pretty sound idea, actually.
Polka: “But he seems to be having trouble keeping his balance. Oh! He grabbed on to that lady and she slapped him! Now he’s apologizing over and over. I feel kind of sorry for him.”
I bet it’s that drunk dude from earlier. He really needs to just sit down for an hour.
Anyway, let’s see if there’s anyone in this house to chat with.
*whine*
Dogs!! =3
“When my husband first brought them here, they were so small and cute. Of course, they’re still cute now.”
They seem like very good dogs.
Ooh, sweet! This will increase the wearer’s SPD by 5%. Jazz would get some use out of it if he were in the party right now.
We’re almost done here in Baroque, just one more area to look around in.
“Every day begins with shoveling snow. I’ve been doing it since I was a child, so it’s just a part of life for me now.”
That is not a task I envy you for, gotta say.
“Snow doesn’t fall in Forte? That’s strange!”
“I was once called the most beautiful girl in Baroque, but you can’t hold back the passage of time.”
Oh god don’t remind me. I try not to think about it.
“Isn’t it pretty? I put a bucket hat on it.”
It’s very pretty! Did you make both of these? Speaking of the other snowman…
That brings our collection up to thirteen.
“I’m playing here! Don’t get in the way!”
“Hey, get out of the way!”
Sorry, sorry.
*SMACK*
Nope, just me being thorough.
