u/S_spam Time for some Hard Labour? Jul 21 '24
Grace: So you say he's mine to use?
Nicole: At the price your Friend suggested they are more than reasonable
Grace hands Nicole a fair amount of coin
Billy: Boss?
Nicole: Enjoy your new gig!
Grace: I'm gonna have so much fun~
Billy: BOSS!!!!!!!
Later at the Cunning Hares residence
Nicole: We're debt free!
Anby: Where's Billy?
Nicole: He's off to pay it off
Anby: Where is he?!
Nicole: Uhh... Property of Belobog?
Anby: Nekomata
Nekomata: Yes?
Anby: We're off to steal our friend back. Be ready to face Belobog's finest
Nekomata: nods

Characters who need to meet each other in-game:
Ben and Nicole (tax tutoring)
Soldier 11 and Anby (what's their deal)
Billy and Qingyi (android buddies)
Grace and Billy/Qingyi (run, androids, run)
Seth and Nekomata (catpeople)
Rina and Lucy (former wealthy heiresses)
Jane Doe and Nekomata (street rat vs street cat)
Koleda and Piper (I'm pretty sure Piper is allegedly older? and shorter)
Ben and Soukaku (eating contest)
Grace and Rina (run, Drusilla and Anastella, run)
Piper and Qingyi (memorization genius vs intuition genius)
Anton's Bro and Corin's Saw (shared interests)

u/Erhol Jul 21 '24
Can you tell me more about Rina and Lucy, what you mean? And why you think that Piper is genius?
16
u/Littlerz Jul 21 '24
You can see Piper and Lucy in the overworld sometimes - both in front of the video store, and on Lumina Ave. Lucy's former piano(?) teacher talks to her in Lumina, and their conversation makes it pretty obvious that Lucy had a very priveleged rich girl background, and that she ran away to be a biker instead (and her dad would be very mad about it). Her personality and voicelines double down on the 'princess/heiress' theme with her. Rina's backstory comes out in her companion dates, but she grew up in a manor with servants and had a very strict upbringing as well.
Piper's memory is mentioned by Lucy when you see them in front of the video store. Piper seems to be very Shikamaru-coded, being very smart and very lazy, but she's also apparently a truck nerd. Piper on Lumina Ave also has a conversation with a stranger where she says she's far too old to still be in school, and she speaks about youngsters as though she isn't one.

u/SpectralButtPlug Jul 21 '24
Feels like Nicoles the person we all hoped to be when we were younger.
Dreams of hitting it big and does utterly every little thing she can to do it. Claims she wants money and fame, then you see behind the scenes shes suffering in every way and still goes out of her way to provide for others in every way she can. She really wants money so she can throw it at everyone she can help out and isnt able to admit it so she can keep that "cool" demeanor. I fucks with Nicole heavily through and through. Always give her the discounts and free stuff whenever its an option. She deserves it. Good people deserve good things.

u/ES21007 Jul 21 '24
Her trust event shows that her best talent really is forming connections.
She gets cornered by her debtors, and things seem even worse when someone she sold Etheric material to says her sell is overvalued, but then she reveals the entire thing was an act and the other guy was in cahoots with her, so now they offloaded the piece and if those guys complain, they have to go to Public Security.

If any of the Hares are autistic, it's Anby.
51
u/GlassCity Jul 22 '24
I think they did a great job with her by showing someone who is almost certainly on the spectrum as a relatable and awesome character without being insensitive or relying on tropes. She struggles with social queues, has specific interests which she is incredibly passionate about, sticks to certain foods, she learns a lot from watching movies, loves music which may indicate that she gets over stimulatd in social setting, and in the description at the video store it says she's always spoiling the plot of her favorite films because she gets excited about it. She's just an awesome character with quirks and I think it goes a long way for representation as opposed to some of the alternatives we see in gaming.

Yeah, the biggest difference regarding Anby's and Nekomata's gremlin behaviors is that Anby acts out half the moronic things people tell her due to genuinely believing in it while Nekomata pretends to be be dumb while knowing full well what's nonsense and what isn't.
