Apparently the game devs took advantage of a small bug in the line-break code to make it go off-screen. Good thing it never got fixed! why does siphon suddenly look annoyed?
Wait, that still breaks!? I thought this engine was more sophisticated than the last one!
Will anyone even remember what we're referencing here?
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE THOUGH.
A strange desire to talk to every NPC in existence?
I'M AN NPC!? I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!
Shoulda paid for a real portrait, then.
I would, but for some reason my customers keep leaving.
Couldn't imagine why.
You shouting at me won't be funny 4 days in a row, so how about we try to get along?
You're quite the persistent one, aren't you?
You probably think you're gonna win me over with the power of friendship.
Well, I happen to be allergic to friendship!
Is that so.
I saw it on TV! TV wouldn't lie to me!
...Let's just try again tomorrow.
Wow, they kinda goofed making this dialog feel natural if you never talked to them before, huh? why does chei suddenly look annoyed? wait now i have further questions
Stall 2:
Huh. Guess the fashion statement's catching on.
Eh??
I saw a strange snake-like reptilian the other day who also ran around naked.
Oh! That was also me, heehee. I like to have fun with polymorph sometimes.
That would do it. So is the jiggling a problem this time?
...What?
I asked this last time, and your response was that you weren't animated enough.
But now you see much more animated. Pretty sure I saw you running, even.
Oh! I kinda remember that.
They definitely move around now, especially when I run, but it's not so bad.
I'm... very aware that they're doing so, but it's nothing like what mammals seem to experience.
I guess that makes sense, since our scales are way tougher than their skin.
Something like that.
Anyway, if you're struggling to find fashionable clothes to wear...
Not why I'm naked, but okay.
...Maybe I can tell you about some of the notable OUTFITs I've seen running around?
Sure, it could be fun to get new ideas to try.
I saw this el'himzen with a very... interesting outfit.
He talked kinda slow, and had his head in the clouds.
Ah, I think I know who you're talking about.
He came to me asking for coffee, which I don't sell. I pointed towards the coffee stand...
...But he just kept on walking past it.
Yeah, that tracks.

What a strange cast of characters this town has.
Stall 3:
GAH! THREE NAKED PEOPLE!
You should join us~!
WE'RE DOUBLE CLOSED.
That's pretty closed.
....
It's okay, we can get food after we're done running around naked.
Or possibly while still running around naked but not in the context of a snaking mission.
You should turn into a snake again~
W-we don't have the sprites!
G-go shove your nudity in someone else's face!
Stall 4:
Okay. It took a lot of doing, but I've got my streak back.
Three whole days without an erection! Here's to several m-- shit.
Hi!
WHY IS THIS SO HARD!?
Is that a pun?
Either way, it's because I'm so hot.
AND NAKED.
And naked!
While it's a little weird that you're so vocal about it...
...There's no shame in having a libido.
You don't understand. I have an addiction. I keep thinking these lewd thoughts, wanting lewd things.
Still not seeing the problem.
Of course you wouldn't! Reptilians are very open about their sexuality!
But my kind... we frown on it.
A miracle you guys haven't died out from a lack of children, then.
W-we're supposed to have children out of love and kinship! Not out of...
Wanting to have sex with your partner is a natural part of romance.
And it's certainly not frowned on around here, so maybe you should relax a little.
How can I relax with a giant set of reptilian titties right in front of me???
By masturbating more so you're not so drawn to them?
S-saying that so directly...!
It's probably better for your mental well-being to not try to be something your not.
Maybe if we talk about that kinda stuff, it'll help normalize it? Make it feel less taboo?
I... oh gosh... i-if you want to...
Is there anyone you think about when you're utilizing the other definition of 'love yourself'?
W-what? I would never...!
Okay but who though.
W-well, there was this girl I had a crush on...
She was pretty and kind and super smart. Too smart for me, I think.
I tried to tell myself it was wrong, but I just... couldn't help it.
Hey, no need to feel guilty.
Not a lot tends to happen if you're just rubbing things with an empty mind.
We need more than just motion-- we need passion and romance.
And hey! You're opening up a little! That's good progress!
After that snake lady showed up, I started using her instead...
You don't need to open up that much.
And now that you've shown up...
Okay this conversation's on me I only have myself to blame.
S-sorry...!
--
It's just... you're so pretty, and...
It's okay. I did kinda start it.
Besides, I'm always flattered when people find me attractive. Really boosts the ol' body-image!
As long as I don't think about it on a deeper level than that, I'm good.
--
Gotta think of something unsexy... like when a video game crashes...
The least sexy thing of all! Unless you have a very specific kink.
I think it can be fun... digital clockwork slipping and snapping, assets clashing and grinding in a synesthetic mess...
I mean hey Chei do you ever have naughty thoughts about Ceri?
Uh... I'm going to just ignore that first part and say that I would hug her in all the right ways, yes.
Oh, that's a lot of ways~
Stall 5:
Oh, honey. You know reptilians don't have breasts.
That fact's been hammered into my head multiple times, yeah.
At least you're not like the last poylmorpher I saw. She polymorphed hair! On a reptilian! Hair!!!
Haha that's silly who would even do that.
When I asked her about it, she spilled a fuckton of spaghetti. Something about dragons?
Hahahaha whaaaaaaaaaaat? That's craaaaaaazy.
Right!?
So uh... no comment on my rampant nudity?
Honey, I'm not a mammal. I can hardly be bothered by it.
It's always nice to hear that attitude.
So what do you sell here, anyway?
Isn't it obvious?
Not from this camera angle, no.
I sell figurines! Made and painted them myself!
Oh! They look really cute!
Thanks, *Cheeheep~* Let me know if any catch your eye in particular~!
Sure, maybe I'll pick one per day to focus on.
Oh! This one looks oddly familiar!
...!
Yep! This one's a noxan, just like your friend!
The likeness is pretty uncanny, huh~?
Yeah, this is some stellar craftsmanship.
Won't find one like me~!
Yeah, you're pretty out of this world.
....
The way you said that is very suspicious but I'm gonna nod along anyway.
That's probably best.
--
Oh, honey. You guys look so cute together~
We'll skip stall 6, as that NPC works a bit differently than the other NPCs. Their story advances each day you talk to them, so if you don't talk to them on day 1 (or miss a day), you won't see their story through to completion. We're on day 4, so... we move on.
Stall 7:
(Huh. Nobody's here.)
(I probably shouldn't take any 'free samples' this time. I don't want to become a crime-elemental dragon.)
(Siphon probably already took something.)
Stall 8:
Yep.
Ah yes, the fan favorite character.
Probably.
And still no reaction to my nudity, even though we actually know you're a ralian this time.
I bet I can get a reaction out of you! I just need to say the right thing!
Doubtful.
I can use all three schools of TRANSDIMENSIONAL MAGIC as well as POLYMORPH!
Cool.
Cool? That's beyond what mortals are typically infused with!
Must be a dragon.
Now you're...
Wait you actually believe that??? I-I wasn't... I was just...
Just joking.
Of course.
--
I have a dry wit.
So you do.
Phew. Let's see who else we can talk to!
