Dialogue[]
- (Approach Jonvelle)
- ???: *sigh* How long is all this preparation going to take? Agh, maybe I'll have to... try something different...
- Paimon: Hey, (TravelerTraveler), look over there! Someone sighing away by the seaside... and there's a Kamera too...
- (Get closer to Jonvelle)
- ???: *sigh* It ran off again. Agh, there's only one left inside the swim ring... What do we do now...
- ???: How long is this going to take...
- Paimon: Huh, looks like someone's taking pictures... of the Flowcurrent Birds here?
- Paimon: Well, they are pretty cute...
What with how they sway this way and that...
- Paimon: Right? They're so cute, bobbing about as they walk. And when they puff up into a ball and float on the water... Ah, that just makes Paimon feel happy.
- I prefer Flying Squirrels, to be honest...
- Paimon: Well, they're cute too, but could you really bear to say "Flying Squirrels are cuter" right in front of a swimming Flowcurrent Bird's face?
- ???: That's the spirit, my lovely young lady with the beautifully shiny silver hair! Truly, the one who created these Flowcurrent Birds deserves all the praise this world can offer...
- Jonvelle: So great is... Ah, wait, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm a Flowcurrent Bird photography enthusiast. Call me Jonvelle.
- Paimon: Sure! My name's Paimon, and this is (TravelerTraveler)... Still, why are you sighing sadly over here? Aren't there tons of Flowcurrent Birds around you?
- Jonvelle: That's... a long story, but allow me to summarize. There are many just like me, and all of us want to take the most interesting photos...
- Jonvelle: And just a few days ago, I came up with an idea most ingenious... That is, to put all the Flowcurrent Birds within my Kamera frame into swim rings!
- And what might be the meaning in that, exactly?
- Jonvelle: The meaning, of course, is that it is utterly meaningless. Flowcurrent Birds can swim, and as such, to have them wear those swim rings...
- Jonvelle: ...Is a thing as devoid of meaning as spending Mora to earn the same amount of Mora back!
- Indeed, this is hardly something a normal person would have considered...
- Jonvelle: When Flowcurrent Birds, who can float on water by themselves, wear swim rings, this will create an overflow of layered meaning within the photo.
- Jonvelle: Thus, sufficiently embodying both the themes of "overuse" and "waste"...
- Paimon: Feels like you're putting too much on their shoulders...
- Jonvelle: Indeed, that is what they call "surrealist photography" — one must seek deeper meaning within the photo one takes... Though, unfortunately we've run into some trouble on that front.
- Jonvelle: As one might expect, real Flowcurrent Birds don't wear swim rings, and so one cannot, in fact, take such pictures...
- You did call it "surreal," you know...
- Paimon: Wait. We could just put the swim rings on all the Flowcurrent Birds, couldn't we? C'mon, (TravelerTraveler). Let's lend a hand, from two Flowcurrent Bird enthusiasts to another!
- Woohoo, yes, jolly enthusiast cooperation!
- Paimon: Ex-actly!
- I prefer Flying Squirrels though...
- Paimon: Hey, now's not the time for that sort of talk!
- Jonvelle: Wait, really? You'd help me out?
- Paimon: Hehe, as long as you give us a few nice pictures once you're done!
- Jonvelle: W—Well then, I'd be in your debt!
- (Talk to Jovelle again, optional)
- Jonvelle: I'll hit the shutter the instant that is done, sure as I'm a Flowcurrent Bird photography enthusiast! Well, not that a title like that inspires much confidence...
- (Talk to Jonvelle a second time, optional)
- Jonvelle: All that needs doing is for a swim ring to be put over each of the Flowcurrent Birds within the Kamera frame...
- (If a Flowcurrent Bird is hit)
- Looks like some Flowcurrent Birds have drifted off...
You'll have to wait for them to return and try again...
- (Upon capturing a Flowcurrent Bird)
- Paimon: Hehe, gotcha!
- (Upon capturing a Flowcurrent Bird behind an obstacle)
- Jonvelle: Well, though you did catch the Flowcurrent Bird, I won't be able to capture it from this angle...
- (Upon capturing two Flowcurrent Birds in one ring)
- Jonvelle: Ah, so that's it... Yeah, you can put both into the same one!
- (After capturing all three Flowcurrent Birds)
- Jonvelle: Ah, such lovely timing...
- Jonvelle: I can barely believe that my photo-taking quest, which had eluded me no matter how hard I tried, was completed so quickly with your help...
- Jonvelle: All these Flowcurrent Birds, their bobbing, rolling forms sitting within their swim rings! A sight so moving as to bring one to tears...
- Is it really that moving...
- Jonvelle: Sometimes, we make our life's pursuit out of something that others cannot understand — indeed, even consider absurd.
- Jonvelle: Nonetheless, I believe that the number of Flowcurrent Bird enthusiasts in the world shall increase, so long as I keep taking these photos!
- Paimon: Paimon one hundred percent believes in this future too!
- Jonvelle: Ah, thank you both so much for your help! Please, take these as tokens of my gratitude!
