NPC Dialogue

So, in order to speed things up a bit while I work on the script, I was wondering if anyone had ideas for "townie" dialogues. Can be anything. Random information about Tokyo/Japan, something funny, something random. Whatever. I want a lot of variety so I figure what better way to get a bunch of ideas than from you guys. VenusPose

Now, I just mean random NPCs, not minor characters. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. UsagiHappy

"Have you seen the girl at Hikawa Shrine? Those who have say she's quite beautiful."
"Surely Sailor V doesn't think she's better than the police."
"I love curry, too bad my wife and kids don't have the same taste."
"It's not very smart to walk in the path of a moving car."
"Does this tie look good on me? I hope I haven't wasted my money."
"I wish my school uniform was as cute as yours."
"I just can't seem to beat that new Sailor V game!"
"What are you looking at?"
"I don't have time to talk, I've got to get home. I'm late enough as it is!"
"I guess odangos are the new thing."
"I wish I had a cat, my mom will only let me have fish."
"I wonder what my mom packed me for lunch today?"

"Oh no! I've lost my keys. Have you seen them? No? ...Now what do I do? ;_;" - could be someone walking around at night... or any time, really.
Boy: "I wanna be a Sailor Soldier when I grow up!"
Another boy: "I'm Ash Ketchum and I challenge you to a Pokemon battle!" (um, depends on if you're ok with blatant references to other stuff JupiterBlush )
"That's what SHE said."
"What'cha lookin' at, punk!?"
Guy: "Man, Sailor V is so hot..."

"I like mochi ice cream."
"What's wrong with using chopsticks?"
"Nice hair!"
"You're kinda short."
"I assume that's your favorite color?"
"Don't tell anyone you saw me using glasses!"
"If there's a green tea, there must be a blue and red tea right?"
"I wish I could have long hair!"
"The thing I dislike the most about living in an apartment is that I have to go to the park or somewhere else to really experience nature."
"Why are you still in your uniform?"
"My favorite color is yellow, thus most of the things in my room are yellow!"
"I hate moving furniture, but the results are worth it."

In my long RPG history, The World Ends with You has some of the best NPC dialogue I have ever read.
But the reason that dialogue was so interesting and funny is because they weren't their words, but their thoughts.
What I've always wondered, is that no matter who you talk to, they'll always talk back.
Wouldn't alot of people brush off some random girl?
......
That was....
Quite the series or random thoughts...

You actually make a very good point! Maybe someone could have the ability to read NPC's thoughts. UsagiLaugh

Plus that could make eventual bullying scenes milder; I found it weird that students at mugen (which is owned by prof. Tomoe) would directly/violently bully Hotaru, instead she can hear their mean thoughts/voices from afar...

Wow, quite a change to her abilities but a great idea... Although you might end up with situations where everyone thinks 'why didn't she just read their mind >_>' sort of thing... JupiterBlush

not necessary , this might be latent ability , only activating itself in specific situations (stress fear that sort of thing) and later in game when she learns to control it chains could make it like in Ego draconis, your hero has the ability to read minds there but it cost him exp points , the more powerfull target more exp it requires , it doesn't necessary be exp but something that would make you think twice before activating it . And it gives chains a great story material since she may (accidently of course) pick up senshi's thoughts from time to time and it may be occasion for both some good comedy moments but also pretty dramatic/tragic ones

You have a point there, but stressful times would surely be most of the time when they fight bad guys... so she'd know what they would do in advance, wouldn't she? Eg. enemy is charging at her, she freaks out and reads what they're gonna do and dodges (and therefore rarely/never gets hurt? but I guess this could cancel out with bad agility/physical strength due to sickliness and just make her normal again...). Of course if there aren't any moments like this it's A-OK VenusPose

And it's a good idea getting her to learn how to do it... But if there is a cost I wouldn't say Exp., rather maybe MP or an equivalent... And more required depending on how mentally guarded/strong/closed/quiet-thoughted (as in, those little fleeting thoughts rather than major loud ones...) the person is. That could lead to a funny moment where she says 'I can't read this girl's mind, I'm getting only blanks' when you try to read some random ditz at school.

But since she's creepy already it would be interesting if she randomly said what the senshi were thinking.

That makes me wonder how it'll work. I guess if you're controlling her you get to read them directly, but she's just in the team, I guess she'll tell you what she sees... which could lead to a funny moment where she reads some really perverted thoughts and can't say them. UsagiLaugh

Oh the possibilities...

As to use in fights its a great idea that thru developing this skill she may aquire some bonus to evasion,not big however , in battle you need to be concentrated on the present , there is really no time to focus and plan future actions , for three years I was training karate and in most fights I didn't knew what I will do in seconds let alone my oponnent :-)
