Madam Herta[]

When a genius drifting through the universe stops in their tracks for one drink, that's a big event worth writing into the history of the lounge's business.

(Invite): You invite Herta for a drink...; Herta: Heard you cooked up something new? Let the puppet sample it.; Herta Puppet: Not every establishment has the fortune to frequently receive genius, you know.

Never studied how Puppet OS runs during standby...; Herta Puppet: Zzz... Zzz...; Herta Puppet: Madam Herta, when the research group decided to include you, we had higher expectations. Yet I see no innovation in your report.; Herta Puppet: Allowing you to join the experiment itself gave you a growth opportunity. You should be grateful. Don't rush for quick success. When the time comes, you'll naturally be listed as co-author.; Herta Puppet: Madam Herta, bring me a glass of water. What's going on? Did my authority as a puppet lose effect?; Herta Puppet: Zzz... Zzz...; Herta: Conclusion: Puppets don't need dreams, nor even sleep.

Dr. Ratio[]

They say you can't carve rotten wood, but that won't stop some folks from trying.

It's your book Aesthetic Principles of Gypsum Sculptures, utterly brilliant!; (Trailblazer): So impressive! I need to buy a copy immediately!; Dr. Ratio: Dr. Ratio expressionlessly hangs up the phone...

Miss Topaz[]

Sometimes a surprise can turn into a shock, like the way how heaven and hell are just a thought apart.

(Invite): You invite Topaz for a drink...; Topaz: That new audit squad works fast. Penacony's asset clearance is cruising along nicely. Finally, some breathing room.; Topaz: Since you called me here... mix me something special?

(Submit Metaphysical Bath Soak/One Extra Point Wipes Out a Thousand Competitors)

(Trailblazer): This drink enables the drinker to share all their knowledge when teaching!

Topaz: Hmm... I've got so many classified insider secrets bottled up from work. For some reason, after having this cocktail, I just wanna spill them all out.

Topaz: However, every unauthorized information leak could cause a huge uproar. As a seasoned professional, I have only one answer to all questions — "No comment"!

Topaz: You have no idea how many eyes are on this position. Let me tell you a secret: Mr. Owlbert even submitted a transfer application to the Strategic Investment Department in secret.

Eleven Stonehearts!

Topaz: Enough to form a football team.

So did he succeed?

Topaz: Unfortunately, Mr. Owlbert's application was regrettably rejected. Many colleagues couldn't accept a bird having a higher rank than them.

Topaz: Uh... Wait. Shouldn't I answer "No comment" for such confidential matters?

I'm confident you shouldn't.

(Trailblazer): Heh, get it?

Miss Sparkle[]

Sparkle: Huh? Gray Hair, you...

Yes, it is I, Sparkle.

No! You tricked me again!

Sparkle: Haha, admit it. The person you most want to become is me, Miss Sparkle~

Sparkle: I'm truly flattered. But rest assured, Miss Sparkle will set a good example.

My heart belongs only to the Astral Express!

(Trailblazer): Astral Express rules the universe — comfortable, safe, convenient, unmatched!

If everyone could please turn their eyes toward me, I have an announcement to make!

(Trailblazer): I am Sparkle, I'm the strongest Sparkle!

Sparkle: Hey! Don't say such things wearing my face. Turn back into yourself!

Kafka[]

An uninvited guest who didn't belong here came without a sound, and left without a trace.

(Invite)

You invite Kafka to taste the drink... but only hear a series of busy tones.

Busy, busy, guess staying busy isn't so bad.

Can't expect a Stellaron Hunter to drop everything for drinks.

Next time, maybe...

Or did I run out of credit?

You top up your own credit, but still hear the familiar busy tone after dialing.

You realize the issue might not be yours: Perhaps the recipient has no credit.
