Dialogue[]
- Phog
- "Oh… Cross. Hello."
- "……"
- "………"
- "…………"
- "……………"
- Cross
- Choice A - Inquire Generally: Ask Phog how his day’s going.
- Phog
- "My day? It's fine, thank you."
- "As you can see, I'm having a staring contest with a cat."
- "If I were to look away for even a moment, I know it would leap at me and slash my face repeatedly with its evil, evil claws."
- Cross
- Choice B - Inquire Specifically: Ask Phog if he likes cats.
- Phog
- "Me? No. Not at all."
- "Actually, I despise the wretched creatures."
- "But they started it. They’re always cruel to me."
- "For example, if I were to turn my gaze from this one for even a moment, I know it would leap at me and slash my face repeatedly with its evil, evil claws."
- Phog
- "Back on Earth, the common house cat, or Felis catus, was ever a nemesis of mine."
- "I’d hoped things would be different here. After all, the Ma-non and Nopon have different languages, but for some reason we all understand each other."
- "So with that in mind, I was trying to establish a form of meaningful communication with the local cats."
- "It doesn’t really seem to be working out, however. Why do you think cats and I aren’t capable of understanding each other?"
- Cross
- Choice A - Speculate: Guess that a cat’s meow doesn’t contain words.
- Phog
- '"That…is sound reasoning."
- '"Such a theory assumes that a cat's meowing is not actually a language at all."
- '"Which means that cats and I may be doomed to an eternally adversarial relationship."
- (END)
- Cross
- Choice B - Encourage: Say that Phog may meet a cat he can understand one day.
- Phog
- "I suppose that’s a possibility…"
- "I certainly haven’t conducted my experiment on all of the cats here on Mira."
- "One day I may indeed meet a cat who has no interest in using my face for a scratching post."
- "I will hold that hope in my heart throughout my remaining years on this planet."
- (END)
