MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Welcome. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:... MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Can I help you? MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyF(0)Passerby||BGM_Empty:Uh... Why is the table on the bed? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyF(0)||m_avg_casual:It is the dashboard for our voyage. When we awaken from our hibernation, it helps us get our bearings and swiftly take control of the situation. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyF(0)Passerby||:A...dashboard?+Then where are the dials and displays? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyF(0)||:Inside your user manual. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:This booth is utterly ridiculous, why are all these perfectly good pieces of furniture scattered around like a junkyard sale... Ow! +What...what's this lantern doing on the floor?! MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Are you talking about the smart trash can? MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:Huh? Smart trash can? Is there even such a thing? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Yes, they glow dimly in the dark to ensure you don't misplace your garbage. +In addition, their cloud patterns ease the guilt you feel when wasting food. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:...What the hell is this wacky logic? It actually kind of makes sense, but who would make trash out out of paper-mâché? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Its replaceability is one of its selling points. You can discard anything you don't need inside it, be they bad feelings or disgusting food. +Then all you need to do is take hold of this... MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyF(0)Passerby||:That's the switch for the electric lantern... What are you going to do? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyF(0)||:(Clicks) +And just like that, the trash can engages its complete incineration protocols, burning everything you've thrown away into nothingness. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyF(0)Passerby||:Er...but if it burns everything away, doesn't that mean there's no way to retrieve the items inside? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyF(0)||:Yes, which is why you should think carefully before throwing trash away. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:That kind of makes sense... Are all pieces of replica furniture so well-made? +Wait a minute, this is just a lantern! MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:It's a smart trash can. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:It can't be, you're just messing with your customers! MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:All things exist for a reason. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:But where's the practicality? It's useless if you overstuff it and it breaks, right? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Nothing in this world is unbreakable, just as all life must someday end. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyF(0)Passerby||:That... Well, it sounds pretty profound, but aren't you just making excuses for its quality? MG36(0)Gr MG36||:This furniture is covered by a guarantee, as long as it's used correctly... ()||:As Gr MG36 continues stating her case to the customers, more and more people start to gather around. JS9mm(2)JS9||:Apologies, everyone! This booth needs to be rearranged, so please take a look at our other booths in the meantime! JS9mm(2)Passersby||:Aw, but I want to hear more... JS9mm(2)||<黑点1>BGM_Empty:The people scatter in dejection. MG36(0)Gr MG36||<黑点2>BGM_Hello:...JS9. Why are you in such a hurry? MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:Didn't you realize how many people were here? +Just squeezing in took me a lot of effort. MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:Sorry about that. So what needs to be fixed? MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:Do you really not know the functions of all this furniture? MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:I found suitable uses for them. MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:Yeah, I heard... Arghhhhhh, I don't even know where you went wrong! +Things are meant to be put to use, and you can technically use them however you want. +But products are all manufactured to serve an initial purpose. MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:Toothpaste doesn't actually sanitize human teeth, but it can be used for many other things. MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:That's an exception. +Look, how much force can this lantern take if you use it as a trash can? MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:It would break easily, so maybe we should use this ceramic item instead? +Would it make a good trash can? MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:That's a flower vase. MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:Can't it be used to hold other things? MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:Its capacity is too small. It was made to hold flowers. MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:Got it. MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:Hm... Alright, let's lay it out like this. +What do you think? MG36(0)Gr MG36;JS9mm(2)||:It definitely looks more orderly than just now...like something you'd see in everyday life. MG36(0);JS9mm(2)JS9||:Good. +I gotta go, so do your best!

MG36(0)Gr MG36||:Hello, can I help you? MG36(0)Passing Child||:Did you see a big rat just now? MG36(0)Gr MG36||:A big rat? MG36(0)Passing Child||:Yeah, it was super fat! +I wonder how many rockets I'd need to send it into the sky. We were just about to find out when it ran off from the launch platform!!

MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:Weren't you calling it a smart trash can? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Lanterns and trash cans are just names. +No matter what you call it, it won't keep you from using it as you see fit. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:You've got a silver tongue on you. I'm actually more interested in you than the furniture. MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Sorry, but I'm not for sale. Would you like anything else besides the lantern? MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:That'll do. Oh, and that "dashboard" from just now. +What is this "dashboard" called now? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:It is the Eight Immortals Virtual Dashboard Table. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:And what does a virtual dashboard have to do with an Eight Immortals Table? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:When people are unable to control their destiny, they imagine beings who can influence the way things unfold and call them gods. +When the table is unable to control its own fate, we then become its gods. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:But why Eight Immortals? MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Seven people have stopped by to ask its price. You are the eighth, which means this virtual dashboard now belongs to you. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:Haha, I like you. I'll take these two items, then. MG36(0)Gr MG36;NPC-PasserbyM(0)||:Thank you for shopping with us. MG36(0);NPC-PasserbyM(0)Passerby 2||:Won't you consider changing jobs? With your gift of the gab, you could do well in sales.

MG36(0)Gr MG36||:Wonderful, you seem to have recovered. +Now be good and stay here. Once I'm done, I'll play with...
