Dialogue[]
- (First interaction)
- Nika: Excuse me! Sorry—Yeah, sorry to bother you. Can I take a moment of your time?
- Nika: Can I ask you a question, about literature?
Of course.
- Nika: Just one of those general questions. I'd like to hear your take on it.
- Literature?
- Nika: Just one of those general questions. I'd like to hear your take on it.
- (Pretend you didn't notice her)
- Nika: Wait a minute! It won't take long.
- Nika: I'll get straight to it. How would you rate these two books, Snow Plains and The Three Trebles?
- I haven't read either.
- Nika: What? That's a pity. These are must-reads on the list of "Books You Should Read in Belobog."
- Nika: Well, don't mind me... I guess I can't expect everyone to be as educated...
- (Make up a generic literary critique)
- (Trailblazer): Powerful, stylish, and full of unexpected twists and turns, these two books demonstrated with their refined language the strengths of both authors.
- (Trailblazer): Their attempt to question and explore the spiritual side of mankind is commendable but unfortunately falls short compared with some of the greatest works of literature.
- Nika: Amazing! Words of wisdom from a true master.
- Nika: Let me introduce myself. I am Nika with the Crystal Daily. Sorry to bother you but we are collecting petitions from readers to lift the ban on the Tale of the Winterlands.
- Nika: It would be wonderful if you could sign here. Of course, feel free to raise any concerns...
- Nika: Ah yes, as a gesture of goodwill, I'll give you The Seven Wonders of Belobog as a gift!
- (Obtain The Seven Wonders of Belobog)
- (Continue onto dialogue options below)
Of course.
- (Subsequent interactions)
- Nika: Are you ready to sign the petition or do you have any other questions?
- I have some questions...
- What exactly is Tale of the Winterlands?
- Nika: Have you never heard of it? It's an adventure novel published by us. The Architects banned it not long ago, which forced us to destroy what's left in our stock as well.
- Nika: But I can assure you, there is no problem with the content! It's just... too creative. By that I mean it depicts the wonders beyond the snow curtain. Truly magnificent work.
- Nika: The Town Hall worries that people might venture out of the city without permission after reading the book. They have their concerns and I understand that. But you can't blame a novel for that.
- Where can I read Tale of the Winterlands?
- Nika: I don't have a copy with me at the moment... I'd suggest you go find Amo in the Administrative District. I commissioned him to adapt Tale of the Winterlands and sent him a copy a while ago. Or if you can get the book through other means, feel free.
- Nika: It's not easy to get a hold of the novel these days. Thank you for your trouble.
- You are buying public opinion, aren't you?
- Nika: No, no, no! Think of it as me asking for a favor... I am a certified editor from a reputable publishing house. I won't engage in anything unethical!
- Nika: I am, uh... merely encouraging people to express themselves. If you think the novel should be banned after reading it, by all means, please say so. I will encourage you to write down your opinion.
- Nika: But of course, if you think it doesn't deserve the ban, that's even more of a reason to speak out!
- What do I need to do exactly?
- Nika: Simple! Just sign this petition form and add a comment about what you think.
- I don't have any more questions.
- I need some time to think about it...
- Nika: Of course! Take your time.
I have some questions...
I don't have any more questions.- (Included in subsequent interactions, upon completing Trailblaze Mission No Time for Me, My Friend)
- Any news from the publishing industry recently?
- Nika: Recently? We're expecting to have several new books coming out, but they are all popular science books about the Underworld's environment and habitat. After all, people are curious about what things are like there.
- Nika: ...Also, there has been a rumor that the Town Hall has dispatched a vanguard to explore areas outside the city. Bronya, the new Supreme Guardian, is a moderate reformist, so...
- Nika: It's possible that the ban on Tale of the Winterlands will get reversed, but this hasn't been confirmed yet. It's just a possibility.
- Nika: This is not the time to get complacent. I'm still collecting signatures for the petition.
- Nika: The dawn is at hand. We can't afford to quit now, right?
