Morning Greeting | Thus it is a morning like any other, its patterns forever unchanging. If you have a matter concerning a contract, please make yourself comfortable in our office. |
Afternoon Greeting | Hmm... Half a day remains. How do you fare? |
Evening Greeting | Though it may appear pitiable that I am working so late into the night... it is not entirely unideal, as it signifies that there is work to be done. Many Offices in this city oft go days with nary a proper contract. |
Chatter #1 | An official contract must first be drafted and signed, if we are to accept a request. Well... there is no need to be intimidated. It is but a simple covenant betwixt two entities. |
Chatter #2 | Big Sister is... occupied with an outside business at the moment. If there are any words you must pass on to her, you may say them unto me. ... Asking for her contact information... may be unwise. I can speak with certitude that she is not in an ideal state to engage in dialogue. |
Chatter #3 | You ask of this weapon? It is a handicraft of a workshop, indeed. Modifications...? Hmm, why would there be a need for modifications? I do not see myself tampering with its build, either. |
Post-Uptie Chat 1 | Contracts from Associations and contracts from Wings carry entirely different levels of significance. To be contracted by a Wing is to have our competency acknowledged. Thus, this contract from R Corp. is also... something of grave importance. |
Post-Uptie Chat 2 | While I do have my reservations... I also understand that it may be a marvelous opportunity. I am hopeful that we should be able to fulfill this contract as long as I prove to be a sufficient support for Big Sister. |
Idle | I shall use this downtime to catalogue our documents. One must not idle... in times such as these. |
Uptying | Hm. This is quite the responsibility. I shall try my best to live up to your expectations. |
Deployment | Departure, is it? Allow me to accompany you. |
Stage Entry | Let this be a positive experience for us all. |
Viewed in Battle | The situation has hitherto been quite... ideal. |
Commencing Attack | Stay calm. |
Enemy Stagger | This is an opportunity. |
Staggered | Ach... |
Enemy Killed | There was naught to worry. |
Death | ...I expected as little from myself. |
Check Passed | It appears that my gamble bore fruit. |
Check Failed | ... I have miscalculated the risks of this gamble. |
Victory Cry | ... The contract is fulfilled. Let us make ourselves scarce before further trouble finds us. |
Extra Conditions Fulfilled | Presuming that we remain steady, a contract of such caliber should pose no difficulty to us. |
Defeat Wail | I've made far too many mistakes... I apologize. I was of no help to you. |

You intend to leave the Office... again?
"Again"...? I don't appreciate your tone. This business outing is strictly for professional purposes only. Do you understand?
How could I, pray tell, word it in any other way when every instance of your 'business outing' has led to copious insobriety?
That is but the nature of this business! A generous amount of alcohol has always resulted in smoother negotiations with our contractors!
... I see. Try not to slumber overlong this time, then.
Tsk. You do not know the amount of work I put into this Office...
Though the child clearly heard her grumble, he elected to ignore it.
Arguing with her would only lead to pointless squabbles that always end up as wastes of time.
Besides, what point could there be in arguing with your boss?
Ahem. Just be aware that I will be heading out for a bit today.
Yi Sang, 'the contract' I snagged yesterday is coming up soon. Make sure that we don't leave any work behind before leaving the Office for that job.
... Most certainly.
Thud.
As soon as his boss left the office, the child immediately returned to his seat and began organizing the documents.
Unlike his boss, whose every sentence exuded lackadaisicalness, this child was well—known in the industry for his complete and utter focus on the work at hand.
Everyone knew that the child was diligent and dedicated to the work given to him, but...
…….
... They didn't know about the complex musings he'd let linger on in his head.
The child recalled all the times he'd spent working, struggling ever since he joined this Office.
Starting from contracts that some would consider nothing more than errands... to slowly building up his reputation.
The anxiety of missing the contract deadline. All the times his life was at risk due to underestimating the enemies' numerical advantages.
After all that toil, the Office finally seized a remarkable opportunity like a contract from R Corp., a Wing. People were finally starting to recognize them.
He was rather proud to be a member of one such Office, but...
On the other hand, worrisome thoughts plagued the child.
Is she going to be okay? Of course, she's no slouch when it comes to fighting and has no trouble picking up work for the Office...
But could his boss really take on a job of such gravity when he himself wasn't entirely sure about his own capabilities?
... Hmm. Some fresh air will do me good.
The child looked away from work for a moment, got up, and opened the windows.
Sighing, he hoped that the pitter—patter of the rain could wash away the heavy doubts cast upon his heart.
But there was something ominous about this contract that rubbed him the wrong way.
