Basic Dialogue (everything in this category is mandatory, otherwise the cat will not be made) -

What do they say when giving the player a gift? (Both on a normal day and the player’s birthday, separately):
Normal gift: Player, I stumbled upon something delightful during my early morning meanderings. A little token, just for you. Consider it a gift to brighten your day.

Player birthday: Happy birthday, my dove! I've taken great care in selecting a gift as magnificent as you. May this day be filled with joy, and may the gift I offer add a sprinkle of glamour to your celebration. / Here's to another year of shared adventures and cherished moments together.

What do they say when given a gift they love? (Both on a normal day and the NPC’s birthday, separately):
My dove, you've truly outdone yourself! This gift is absolutely splendid. I can't thank you enough for such a thoughtful and delightful surprise.
Birthday: Oh, you wonderful creature! This birthday gift is simply purr-fect. Your thoughtfulness has made this day even more special. Thank you, my dove.

What do they say when given a gift they like?: (Both on a normal day and the NPC’s birthday, separately):
Well, well, what do we have here? An item, not quite dazzling, but I must admit, it's rather charming. You have a knack for selecting presents, Player.
Birthday: Ah, a birthday treat! This item, while not reaching the heights of opulence, has a certain charm to it. / Thank you for the thoughtful gesture on this special day.

What do they say when given a gift they dislike?: (Both on a normal day and the NPC’s birthday, separately):
Hmm, interesting choice, Player. I'll try to appreciate the effort, but I must admit, this gift falls short of my refined tastes
Birthday: Oh, dear. Even on my birthday, you managed to select something not quite to my liking. Well, I suppose it's the thought that counts, isn't it?

What do they say when given a gift they hate?: (Both on a normal day and the NPC’s birthday, separately):
This is... unfortunate. A gift that doesn't align with my tastes, to put it mildly. Let's just say, I won't be displaying this prominently in my den.
Birthday: On my birthday, of all days! I appreciate the attempt, but this gift is truly not my cup of cream. / Perhaps next time, Player, you can aim for something a bit more aligned with my preferences.

What do they say when given too many gifts?: Ah, my sweet dove, you're truly too kind. However, I've already been graced with a gift today. / I wouldn't want to overshadow the beauty of the first by accepting another. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated, nonetheless.

What do they say when given a black rose?: A black rose, Player? How utterly distasteful. I won't mince words - I find the gesture quite disgraceful. I'd appreciate some solitude to distance myself from such misguided attempts. Please, leave me be.

What do they say when rejecting the player? (Include a situation where the player is married to another NPC and your NPC therefore rejects them, a situation where the NPC doesn’t have a high enough friendship to be dated/can’t be dated, a situation where the NPC doesn’t have high enough love to be married/can’t be married, and a situation where your NPC rejects the player because they and the player are already in a relationship):

Married to another NPC: Player, I couldn't help but notice a rather perplexing situation. You are aware that you're already married, yes? I'm genuinely concerned. Could it be a case of forgetfulness? / Perhaps a visit to Krampy could help jog your memory about your existing commitment.

Low friendship: Ah, Player, this is a lovely gesture, but you see, we haven't quite reached the depth of friendship required for more, at least not for me. I can't accept this gift right now. I hope you understand, and let's continue fostering our friendship.

Low love: Woah, woah, woah! Hold your paws, my dove. I appreciate the love, truly, but it's a tad premature for the whole marriage affair, don't you think? / Let's take it slow and savor the moments. No need to rush into lifelong commitments just yet!

Already dating, given red rose: Player, my dove, your gesture is sweet, but you see, we're already in the delightful realm of dating. Another rose isn't needed to affirm your love; it's already blooming beautifully between us.

Already married, given shiny trinket: Hello, my dove. This shiny trinket you've bestowed upon me is undeniably charming, but you see, we've already tied the knot! / I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't accept another shiny trinket from you, my sweet silly one!

What do they say when they accept the player’s red rose?: Ah, a red rose, my dove? A symbol of budding romance, isn't it? Your intentions are clear, and I must say, I find the gesture quite enchanting. Let's explore this newfound connection between us, shall we?

What do they say when they accept the player’s shiny trinket?: Oh, a shiny trinket, my dove? How delightful! A symbol of deeper commitment, I presume? Your affection warms my furry heart. Let's continue to weave our story together and see where this journey takes us.

What do they say when breaking up with the player? (Both when dating & married, separately)

Dating: Really, my dove? Is this some twisted jest? If this is your way of signaling an end to what we had, it's a cold and heartless gesture. / I thought we shared something special. Leave me to mull over this atrocity.

Married: A black rose, Player? After everything, this is what you offer? Is our marriage just a game to you, or have you tired of the commitment we've built? / I'm not one to be strung along or treated as if our union means nothing. Leave my presence, you mean nothing to me anymore.

What do they say at festivals? (can change based on season):
Spring: Ah, Player, have you tried the delightful mouse chase that Coco set up for the Spring Festival? It's simply purr-fect! / I can't resist the thrill of the chase and the joy of catching those whimsical little critters. Join me, won't you? It's a feline's dream come true!

Summer: Ugh, the Summer Festival and those turtle races! I can't fathom why anyone would find those slow, disgusting creatures entertaining. / I'd rather bask in the warmth of the sun or chase butterflies. Turtles are simply not my idea of summertime fun!

Fall: Ah, Player, do you feel that? The crisp, cool breeze, the rustle of leaves bidding their farewell. It's the last dance of fall, a beautiful melancholy before winter's embrace. I'll miss the vibrant hues and the whispers of the season. Let's savor this moment together, for winter is on the horizon. 

Winter: Snowball fights, Player? Not my ideal winder joy. I find the cold, wet fluff rather distasteful. I'll be counting the days until the arrival of spring, where warmth and the gentle breeze replace these frosty antics. Until then, let's dream of sunnier days together.


Extra Dialogue (you must have at least 3 items in this category or the cat will not be made)


Introduction: Greetings, I am Rolo. I value my independence and prefer to be left to my own devices. We may coexist, but interference is not appreciated.

Zero Stars: I cannot bear to look upon such a horrid creature as you. Stay away, and spare me the agony of your presence.

One Star: Small talk is beneath me. Keep it simple, Player, and leave me be. I have no interest in idle chatter.

Two stars: My luxurious coat is a work of art, wouldn't you agree? I take great pride in my grooming. / You may stay, Player, and perhaps I'll share some beauty tips with you.

Three stars: Today is special. I've decided to share a mouse with you, a rare treat! Consider it an honor, Player, and let us enjoy this moment together.

Four stars: Player, you have a burr behind your ear. Hold still, and let me assist you. / There, much better. A small gesture for a creature as beautiful as you.

One heart: My dove, I must admit, there's something enchanting about this beginning. It's like the first rays of dawn, full of promise. / I look forward to exploring this journey with you.

Two hearts: My love, how about we escape to the meadows and watch clouds together? I've heard it's a wonderfully romantic activity. Just you, me, and the vast sky. What do you say, my dove?

Three hearts: Today is a cuddle day, my dove. Let's find a cozy spot in the sun-dappled meadow and wrap ourselves in warmth. Your presence is the softest comfort, and I want to savor every moment.

Four hearts: My darling, have you ever noticed how the sunlight plays on your fur? It's like a masterpiece, each strand catching the light just right. You're the most beautiful creature, especially in the warm embrace of the sun.

One ring: My dove, we've taken a significant step in our journey. I cherish the warmth of our commitment. This is the start of a beautiful chapter, my dove.

Two rings: I can't help but gaze upon you, my darling. Your beauty is a constant wonder. Each glance is like discovering a new facet of a precious gem. How did I get so lucky?

Three rings: My love, there's something I must share. I haven't always been the charming cat you see today. I had a selfish past, but you, my dove, changed me. / Thank you for helping me overcome those flaws and making me a better cat. I'm forever grateful.

Four rings: My darling, you are a stunning work of art. The way the sunlight caresses your fur, the grace in every movement—it's like a masterpiece in motion. I find myself captivated, unable to look away. / You're not just beautiful; you're my muse, my inspiration. I can't get enough of you.

Foggy weather: Fog? Really? My fur will be damp, and I can't flaunt my beauty properly. I feel like a ghost cat. Not a fan.

Light rain: Raindrops are ruining my fur! I refuse to stay outside until this nonsense stops. Can't a cat catch a break?

Rain: Rain? Ugh, the worst! My fur will be ruined. Do you see this coat? It's a work of art, not to be dampened by some silly water droplets.

Thunderstorm: Thunder and lightning? No, thank you. I'll be in my cozy spot until this terrifying spectacle is over. You can join me if you must.

Light snow: Oh, what's this? Delicate snowflakes. I suppose it's not too bad if it stays light. Just don't expect me to frolic in it like some overexcited kitten.

Snow: Snow? Everywhere? This is a disaster for my fur! I'll need hours of grooming to fix this. Can't we fast forward to spring?

Blizzard: A blizzard? I can't see a thing! My fur is freezing! This is a feline nightmare. Stay close, Player. We need to weather this together.

Meteor shower: Look up, Player! The sky is putting on a celestial show. It's almost as breathtaking as my own beauty. Almost. Let's enjoy this together.

Player speaks to them late at night: Ah, my dove, caught you in the early hours, didn't I? There's a serene beauty to these quiet moments, isn't there? Come, join me in the calm embrace of the morning. Let's savor the tranquility together before the day stirs to life.

Player on low health: Goodness gracious, Player! You seem to have tangled with trouble and come out worse for wear. Krampy's the cat for situations like this. Don't just stand there looking like a mess; let's get you patched up before you collapse. Hurry along now!

Player on low hunger: Hey there, Player! Your stomach is making quite the commotion. If you're in need, I've got a stash of delightful treats. I could share a little something with you. What do you say?

Talking about Zephyr: Hmm, have you noticed Zephyr's coat, Player? It's rather luxurious, isn't it? / I can't help but wonder how they achieved such perfection. Perhaps it's a secret I need to uncover to maintain my status as the most glamorous cat around.

Rolo is married to Zephyr: Ah, my dove, have you met Zephyr? They're quite the confident cat, much like myself. We share a love for the finer things in life, you know. / Zephyr boasts about their luxurious coat, fame, and charm, and I must admit, it's rather impressive. But between us, I'm still the true star of the show, wouldn't you agree?

If Talon is nearby: That Talon, always grumbling about something. Honestly, Player, I can't fathom why they're so perpetually displeased. Their sharp hisses make quite the unpleasant welcome. / But who knows, perhaps there's more to Talon than meets the eye. I'm just not in the mood for all that grumpiness.


Player buddies up with Rolo: An adventure, Player? How intriguing! I do enjoy the comforts of our colony title, but I suppose a change of scenery could be enticing. Just promise me it won't involve getting my paws wet or encountering any undesirable weather. Lead the way, and let's make it a journey worthy of a cat of my stature!

Player dismisses Rolo: Well, my dove, I do hope our little adventure satisfied your curiosity. If you need me, I'll be basking in the sun back at the colony, far away from the perils of the outside world.

Rolo dies: Player, I fear I've met an unexpected challenge on our adventure, and my prideful paws are in quite a state. I must make haste back to Krampy's den. I need their expertise to mend my wounds.
