Cotton Town

Connections

• Route 1
• Route 2 (if you try to leave before entering the Cafe, the Hacker intercepts you: "Hey, that's not cool! You have to come to my talk at the cafe before you run off!") (if you try to leave before getting Capture Devices from the Shop, the Shop Keeper intercepts you: "Wait a second! We've got an amazing give away at the Shop! I can't in good conscience let you leave before you pay us a visit")

No Riverboat Station here.

(When you first arrive in Cotton Town, a Hacker approaches.

• Hey, cool tuxemon! Can I see the receipt? ... Just kidding, I had a feeling you hadn't picked it up using, ah, official channels. For years, the five Pillars of the Cathedral have controlled the strongest tuxemon. Do you think it'd be cool to poke them in the eye? ... Good! I have a project for you. Meet me in the Cafe!

Shop

(When you first enter, Shop Keeper approaches)

• Welcome customer. Today, we're promoting Capture Devices. Do you know what those are? (Y/N)

(If Y)

• Okay, well here's five as a free sample. If you have any questions about how Capture Devices work, just ask my assistant!

(If N)

• Let my assistant introduce you.

(Shop Assistant approaches)

• Capture Devices allow you to capture tuxemon and keep them as servants. They're most effective when used on injured and low-level tuxemon. Select them during battle from your Item menu. Thank you for listening. Here's five Capture Devices as a free sample.

(At other times, when you talk to the Shop Assistant):

• Capture Devices allow you to capture tuxemon and keep them as servants. They're most effective when used on injured and low-level tuxemon. Select them during battle from your Item menu.

Cafe

(When you go to enter the Cafe for the first time, your Mom is blocking the entrance.)

• Well hello stranger! What are you doing going into a Cafe? You know caffeine is bad for you. I'm kidding! You're a grown up of 12 years old, you can do whatever you like! ... No alcohol. ... But you should call home more often. I want someone to tell about my inventions. ... Oh, I forget, you haven't got a phone yet. Here's one I invented. I call it the Nu Phone! You can install all sorts of apps on it. It already has the Map App, so you'll never get lost, and the Bank App. Whenever you're in a settlement, it'll add any cash you picked up to your bank account. That way you won't lose as much money when you lose a battle. Although I'm sure that won't happen often!

(Mum leaves)

(When you enter the Cafe the first time, there is a gathering. A Hacker talks.)

• Currently, the only reliable information about tuxemon is from the expensive and incomplete Encyclopaedia Tuxemon! That's not cool; information should be freely available. That's why we're introducing Tuxepedia. It's open source, it's free, it's available for everyone to read, write and edit. How cool is that? In fact, I've installed it as an app on all your phones just now.

(Tuxepedia App installed)

• All it takes to add information is for you to catch that particular tuxemon. It's so cool.

(One by one, thought bubbles appear over audience members, then cut to Tuxepedia entries for basic tuxemon - any that the protagonist has already encountered, plus the four starter tuxemon he/she could have chosen, but didn't. Then a message appears on the screen:

• You are so engrossed reading the new entries, that you don't notice people leaving.

(Cut to an almost empty room. A Barmaid is here. A Pirate is here. The Hacker walks up.

• It's so cool that you came. There's still so many tuxemon to be added - over a hundred, I think. You could really get into it, and make a difference to the world.

(Any future times you talk to the Hacker):

• It's so cool that you're helping with Tuxepedia. ... Is there a prize for adding all the tuxemon? Only the satisfaction of helping the human race, man.

(First time you talk to the Pirate):

• Arr, one of the services we offer here is battling. Would you like me to match you with a trainer who lives in the area, or someone over the Internet? (Area/Internet/No thanks)

(If you choose "area", you fight a random NPC trainer. If you choose "internet", you fight a human over the Internet)

(First time you talk to the Barmaid):

• We call ourselves Team Bazaar. Maybe that's a little pretentious. We're a group of rogues and scoundrels who like to get together to drink coffee, discuss philosophy and defy our corporate overlords! We try to look out for each other. For example, unlike the Cathedral we don't charge for you to heal your tuxemon! Would you like me to heal them now? (Y/N)

(Next time you talk to the Barmaid):

• Welcome back. Shall I chuck your tuxemon in the healing unit?

Omnichannel Building

A massive skyscraper.

You can buy healing here, like in all Pillars.

(When you head to the lifts/stairs, you are intercepted by an Enforcer:

• Butt out of it, kid, this is private property!

Statue Pentagon

There is a Monk here.

• I am assigned from the Dojo of the Five Elements to tend the statues here. But Omnichannel is planning to expand its offices into this space. I don't know what will happen to the statues when they do.
