The One that Impresses
You receive a message from Encore, saying that she has obtained something super amazing and fun, and that she's excited to share it with you. What could it be?
Quest List
Encore:
Hiya! It's been a while. Encore and the people at the Pioneer Association have made something super cool!
Encore:
They need someone to try it out, and I think you'd be just perfect! We should play it together!
Encore:
It's gonna be soooo much fun! Encore can't wait to see you!
Turns out, the "super cool" thing is actually the Second Coming of Solaris, which has been in beta for a whole year. Encore asks for your help with her homework: developing a mysterious new feature for the game. Unable to resist her cuteness, you create an account and dive right into the world of Second Solaris.
Encore:
Aha! I knew you'd join my team!
Rover:
Of course! So, where is that thing you mentioned?
Encore:
Oh, no rush. Before that, do you know someone's celebrating their very first anniversary today?
Encore:
It's Second Coming of Solaris! Happy first anniversary of the beta test!
Rover:
But I remember it was developed by the Pioneer Association. What makes you part of this?
Encore:
It's an assignment Miss Shorekeeper gave me. During vacation, Encore needs to help Tethys prepare a special surprise in the game world!
Encore:
Uh-huh! Will you pleeease?
Encore:
Hooray! You're the best!
Encore:
Let's get started now! Hello, Tethys? Can you hear me? We're all prepared!
Encore:
Now, you'll need an account in the game. How do you want to call yourself?
Encore:
Okay!
Encore:
Anyway, your account is done. Now, it's time to let Encore's imagination flow...
Encore:
Let's go! Got no time to waste!
After swallowing the control unit, Abbowser takes control of Second Solaris and holds the other Cubes hostage, forcing you into a classic "Hero vs. Demon Lord" game. Given the mysterious connection between Abbowser and Abby, you decide to play along.
Abby:
Wait, who was that?!
Encore:
Nope, not at all. You were only supposed to chat with the Cubes. Super simple.
???:
Disaster, Encore! Second Coming of Solaris is a mess right now!
A Black Shores robot speeds over, panicked.
???:
Encore, where is Aalto? Is he meddling with things again?!
Encore:
Oh, hi there, KU-Lolo! Aalto is not here. Encore was just making Cubes when a weird Cube called "Abbowser" showed up and ate the Anniversary Cake.
KU-Lolo:
That explains it! Abbowser has hijacked the entire game!
KU-Lolo:
If only it were that simple. Now that the Anniversary Cake is taken, we can't back up data safely. Rebooting it now would put tons of critical data at risk.
KU-Lolo:
Recovering them would take forever… the anniversary would be ruined, and I'd be the one everyone blames… Waaahhh!
Encore:
Don't cry, Ku-Lolo! If there's a bad guy, that just means it's time for heroes to shine! The Wooly Warrior and the cool Black Cat Warrior will save the day, right?
KU-Lolo:
Waaah, th-thank youuu!
KU-Lolo:
The logs show that Tethys generated 12 Remnant Cubes, but they've all gone missing after Abbowser's attack.
KU-Lolo:
If we want to restore the Anniversary Cake, we'll need to rescue at least half of the Cubes.
KU-Lolo:
Encore, could you contact the Pioneer Association and see if they have any good ideas?
Encore:
Sure! Then I'll leave this to you, Rover. You can handle it—Encore believes in you!
Just after Encore leaves, Abbowser crashes the scene, this time with a few familiar faces in tow.
Abbowser:
Ha, ha, ha! My tactic worked perfectly! Surprise! It's me again!
Abbowser:
So you just let the world-saving hero Wooly Warrior leave like that? You're not as smart as they say, Black Cat Warrior.
Abbowser:
Bruh, where's your sense of humor?
Abbowser:
Anyway, how about we play a game?
Abbowser:
Picture this: you show up in a strange land, take on my minions, save your buddies, and then face off with me in an epic boss fight! Classic! This is gonna be a blast!
Abbowser:
Now, I'm giving you a few Cubes as your first teammates. Can't say I'm throwing you into the deep end... muahaha!
Abbowser:
I'll be waiting for ya! Don't leave me hanging!

Abbowser:

Shorekeeper:
I'm sorry for involving you in such trouble again.
Shorekeeper:
Yes, you're right... Just like fixing the Tethys System, we will fix this together, you and I.
Shorekeeper:
When Tethys issued a warning at the start of the event, I immediately tried to access this Sonoro Sphere called Second Coming of Solaris.
Shorekeeper:
However, a peculiar entity calling itself "Abbowser" quickly blocked the Channel. I was only able to transmit data the size of a Remnant Cube.
Shorekeeper:
No. Like all the other Remnant Cubes, I am entirely separate from my true self.
Shorekeeper:
I cannot say for certain. Since Abby is full of mysteries, the possible inferences are complicated.
Shorekeeper:
However, I may be able to obtain more information if I physically interact with Abbowser.
Changli:
Such a fascinating little world. I've long heard of the Tethys System's versatility, but seeing its work is another thing.
Changli:
Well, panicking wouldn't help the situation anyway.
Changli:
Besides, wandering in the memories of someone like you, Rover, is in its own way a rare pleasure.
Changli:
Ah, do you prefer coffee? I see no tea sets in this square. I'll take that into consideration the next time I invite you for a game of Weiqi.
Changli:
Heh, now if I don't treat you to some of my private collection next time, I'd be a terrible host.
Changli:
Back to the issue at hand. Rover, this realm is called Second Coming of Solaris, yes?
Changli:
How intriguing. The Second Coming of Solaris I know is still in testing, a far cry from what we're seeing here...
Changli:
If this is a world built on your memory, then there must be some kind of temporal discrepancy between what we remember.
Changli:
Hmm, it could be you are from the "future," or perhaps I am from the "past."
Changli:
Hehe, then let's consider this our little secret.
Jinhsi:
Black Cat... I mean, Rover, is there anything troubling you? May I be of help?
Jinhsi:
I see. So the Sonoro Sphere trapping us is the doing of Abbowser, a darker side of Abby, correct?
Jinhsi:
And to escape, we need to rescue our scattered Cube companions, defeat Abbowser, and remake the... Anniversary Cake?
Jinhsi:
Rover, do you know the whereabouts of Sanhua, Ms. Taoqi, and General Jiyan?
Jinhsi:
Jinzhou is in the midst of a bustling festival, and if all the key leaders are trapped within this Sonoro Sphere, I must consider whether our emergency plan remains operational.
Since your last meeting with Jinhsi was in the spring, the Remnant Cube's memory is also set to that season.
Though only a Cube simulated by Tethys, it's as if she really is Jinhsi in the flesh...
Rover:
Don't worry, those outside won't be affected.
Jinhsi:
If that's the case... No, while Jinzhou may be safe for now, the cake crisis we face still demands our attention.
Jinhsi:
...
Jinhsi:
Once the crisis is over, perhaps we can take a stroll together?
Jinhsi:
I imagine you could also use a good break by then.
KU-Lolo:
I've detected that Abbowser's gone and turned the game assets into a huge labyrinth. Big bad Abbowser! Second Coming of Solaris is totally wrecked now.
KU-Lolo:
It's even calling the labyrinth "Abbowser Castle." Outrageous!
KU-Lolo:
Oh, you sound super reliable! I'd probably short-circuit from crying by now… if I had tears.
KU-Lolo:
Okay, I've located the areas where Abbowser is causing trouble. We're good to go whenever you're ready!
KU-Lolo:
Ready for the Abbowser Castle?
You see Camellya Cube staying far away from the other Cubes, humming. It seems she really enjoys her solitude.
Camellya:
Aw, not feeling the crowd? Or... do you just wanna stay with me?
Camellya:
Alright, alright. You've still got things to do. Off you go then.
Camellya:
Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye on you here. The games ahead are also gonna be so much fun!
Camellya:
You gotta learn to take a break when you can on your long, long journey to save Solaris.
Camellya:
Go on, my dear leader. Enjoy your little holiday!
Brant:
Ahoy, you are right on time!
Brant:
I was just pondering the perfect, grand performance for the anniversary, when lo and behold, what did I discover at the back of the square?
Brant:
A cannon!
Brant:
A sturdy sailor and a cannon. Ring a bell?
Brant:
Haha, stay tuned!
Zani:
Hmm... Zzz...
Zani:
Zzz... Forgot to clock out...
Abby:
Ugh, that's rough! She's even thinking about her work in her dreams!
Zani:
Okay... No problem. I still have plenty of time in my schedule...
Abby:
Sheesh! Hey, wake up! Stop working!
Cantarella:
How may I be of service, noble hero? Have you come to check if I've been up to any villainous deeds?
Cantarella:
Hehe, a rare treat, indeed. It would be lovely to linger here indefinitely.
Cantarella:
And what of you? Will you disappear again once your noble deeds are done?
Cantarella:
Leaving behind only the hearts you've touched, left to quietly yearn for your next visit. Such cold-heartedness.
Cantarella:
There, there. I was only teasing.
Cantarella:
Now, let us set aside our worries and savor this respite. It is, after all, a rare and precious break.
Cartethyia:
Hehe.
Cartethyia:
Everyone is enjoying the moment, so I'm very happy too!
Cartethyia:
Thank you!
Cartethyia:
It's not nothing. The purpose of this ceremony is to remind everyone that they're amazing and it's time to relax. This is a reward for everyone striving to live a good life!
Cartethyia:
We've all seen your hard work, Rover. That's why you should enjoy this day too!
Phoebe:
I wonder how Mr. Abbowser is doing.
Phoebe:
I don't think Mr. Abbowser is really that bad. Mischief is more like his way of life, or... how to put it, mission?
Phoebe:
It seems like Mr. Abbowser is more afraid of being forgotten than being disliked.
Phoebe:
Er, maybe that's not necessary?
Phoebe:
I think the best way to communicate with Mr. Abbowser is to play the "Hero vs. Demon Lord" game with him!
KU-Lolo:
Finally, you have saved all the Cubes! Thank you so much, Rover!
KU-Lolo:
I'm activating the Anniversary Cake to start the ceremony now. Ready?
Abbowser:
Ugh, you really ticked me off by taking Lady Primus, but since you also dealt with that pesky one trying to take my turf, I'll forgive you!
Abbowser:
Ha, ha, ha, now Level 10 will be mine again soon!
Abbowser:
Hmph, you better start worrying about yourself! As the Big Boss, I'm about to show you what I'm really made of!
Abbowser:
I'm sending my top three elites to deal with you. Each one's got a special surprise for you. Muahaha!
Abbowser:
Alright, I'm off. Come face me, mortal! Oh, no. Almost forgot to ask...
Abbowser:
Are you having fun?
Abbowser:
Hehe, great! I'll head back to my position and wait for you!
Jinhsi:
I'll take care of the cake restoration. You can rest assured and focus on dealing with Abbowser, Rover.
Jinhsi:
I'm simply doing my duty. To be honest, I would feel quite lost with too much free time on my hands.
Jinhsi:
But what about you, Rover? After you left Jinzhou and... before you return...
Jinhsi:
Will you always be busy saving others like this?
Jinhsi:
It's true that there are always people in need of help.
Jinhsi:
I've been thinking, as the nightmare of your Sonoro Sphere, Abbowser isn't truly committing wicked deeds or confusing our minds. It is simply keeping us, or more precisely, you, here. But for what purpose?
Jinhsi:
Maybe it is only trying to give you a break from your mission, if only for a little while?
Jinhsi:
Rover, Ms. Carlotta mentioned that during the Carnevale, one can witness spectacular Echo parades, marvel at grand troupe performances, and take part in enchanting masquerades!
Jinhsi:
Did you get to experience all of that?
Jinhsi:
Hmm, perhaps we might try including such performances in the Moon-Chasing Festival. I wonder if people in Jinzhou would like the idea.
Jinhsi:
Would you be our advisor for that, Rover?
Changli:
Hmm? Oh... yes, indeed. I wouldn't have noticed without your keen observation.
Changli:
Neither... It is merely the mark of the small price I paid for wielding the flame in my youth.
Changli:
That healed long ago. Many of the costs are so trivial that they can hardly be called a "price."
Changli:
Hehe, a preference for spicy food is just another trivial price for the power of flame. However…
Changli:
Please pass that warning on to my true self once we leave the Sonoro Sphere.
Changli:
She would greatly appreciate it.
Actor No. 1:
What say you, friend? Care to join the performance?
Brant:
What say you, friend? Care to join the performance?
Brant:
Your shadowy companion is the perfect addition to bring a touch of mystery to our stage!
Calcharo:
"Ghost Hounds" are no stage characters. As "Ghosts," our place is in the shadows.
Brant:
Marvelous! I happen to have a character who lurks in the shadows, masked and mysterious, striking fear into the hearts of the audience. Sounds like the perfect role for you!
Actor No. 1:
Baa! So many Cubes!!
Cosmos (Encore):
Baa! So many Cubes!
Cosmos (Encore):
Baa haha! Yes, the mighty Warrior Cosmos!
Cosmos (Encore):
Okay, stop it, Cosmos. Now is Encore time!
Cosmos (Encore):
Encore saw all the fun you were having and wants to join! So Encore sent Cosmos to take a look.
Cosmos (Encore):
See, Cosmos really looks like a Cube, right?
Cosmos (Encore):
Also, Encore has discovered a BIG secret. Everyone is in a story now!
"Roccia":
No, no. This is reality. The world outside is the story!
Roccia:
Pero, stop scaring people.
Cosmos (Encore):
Nope, Pero is wrong! It's all real, and it's all stories!
Roccia:
Huh?
Cosmos (Encore):
Oh, what's your name?
Roccia:
...Roccia.
Cosmos (Encore):
Roccia! You and Pero must be the captains of the Cube Adventure Squad! I'm the vice-captain of the Wooly Adventure Squad. We should play together!
Cosmos (Encore):
Do you know any other Cubes full of stories? Let's bring them along and adventure together!
Actor No. 1:
Try this one… It should suit you well.
Carlotta:
Try this one… It should suit you well.
Shorekeeper:
Hmm... This is very different from the last bottle. It smells like... the sea. As if I have returned to the Black Shores... to... home.
Shorekeeper:
Yes, you're right. I really like this perfume.
Carlotta:
I'm pleased to hear that. It seems I have a knack for finding the perfect match for others.
Carlotta:
Now, please accept this as a gift to mark our first meeting.
Shorekeeper:
Huh? But...
Carlotta:
This is merely a small bottle of perfume, nothing overly luxurious that one must decline, isn't it?
Carlotta:
In Ragunna, most ladies of your age will usually select a perfume that matches their tastes and personality.
Carlotta:
A distinctive scent can bring back a moment and a feeling, much like how that perfume reminded you of home. For someone else, it could remind them of a rainy night and a particular person.
Shorekeeper:
So this is how it works. I understand now.
Shorekeeper:
Is the same true for that pink bottle of perfume you carry? Did you choose it for yourself?
Shorekeeper:
I'm curious... what kind of scent do you like, Ms. Carlotta?
Carlotta:
Oh, that bottle… Not quite. It's more about the other meaning of perfume... more subtle, and perhaps even a bit dangerous...
Actor No. 1:
I never imagined a fish from the depths could dance with fire…
Cantarella:
I never imagined a fish from the depths could dance with fire... A delightful collaboration, Lady Changli.
Changli:
It is always a pleasure to accept your invitation. Thanks to it, I was able to witness such a magnificent display of fire.
Cantarella:
Indeed... But what if the fire were to burn beyond just these anniversary flames?
Changli:
Oh? Then where does the Fisalia family intend to let it burn? Are you playing an offensive or defensive game here?
Actor No. 1:
We now need to...
Jinhsi:
Phoebe, we now need to take an inventory of the leftover plates, forks, and candles from the ceremony. Additionally…
Phoebe:
Understood. I will help as much as I can.
Cartethyia:
No need to worry about all that! I've already taken care of everything.
Cartethyia:
Lollo Logistics has already packed it all up! Mission accomplished!
Jinhsi:
But we haven't counted everything yet...
Phoebe:
You two really have… very different personalities.
Actor No. 1:
Hmm... Zzz... Work...
Actor No. 2:
Hey, wake up! You're not supposed to be working!
Actor No. 1:
So, here's how it works. You can put together a group CV, and I'll handle the internal referral for you.
Actor No. 1:
Lady Carlotta has a good rating for you. Securing a position shouldn't be an issue.
Actor No. 2:
Thanks. I'll make sure to repay you.
Actor No. 1:
No need. I get a bonus for successful referrals.
Actor No. 2:
Then I ran to the front of the line and led the singing. But I was actually a little drunk, so I was completely off-key the whole time!
Actor No. 2:
Then some Envoys came to catch me, but I just kept singing while they chased me!
Actor No. 2:
It was so much fun!
Actor No. 1:
Well... That's definitely...
Actor No. 1:
...
