Quotes

Interaction quotes

"I can't remember much about my past life... Chemicals and the like were my passion I think; I only get fragments and pieces of the truth. It's saddening at times..." "Why am I not like the others...? Oh, I'm sorry, did you need something?" "Most people don't have the stomach to handle the things I sell. The trick is to not have a stomach at all!" "I gotta thank you for letting me stick around. Only coming out at night is pretty boring..." When Guide is present: "I bet <name of Guide> has a big juicy brain... Not that I would wanna... uh... Did you need something?" When Party Girl is present: "<Name of Party Girl>'s brain would surely taste like candy... Oh uh, hello there!" When the player clicks Enemy Repellent: If provided with Bat Repellent: "I just whipped up the perfect recipe to deter Bats from bothering you; no more tiny nibbles!" If provided with Fish Repellent: "Getting this stuff to work underwater was a huge hassle... Either way, hungry fish shouldn't attempt to eat you with this." If provided with Insect Repellent: "With this nasty concoction, insects will associate your scent with their queen! Neat, huh?" If provided with Skeleton Repellent: "I'll be honest, this is just a bottle of pure liquid calcium. Don't question it, the skeletons surely wont either!" If provided with Zombie Repellent: "If this turned out correctly, you'll smell just like a zombie. Hopefully your nights will be a tad more calm!" When attempting to receive another Repellent after the cycle's item has already been acquired: "I'm afraid you'll have to give me some more time to prepare the next repellent. This stuff can get pretty complicated..." When attempting to receive a Repellent without enough money: "Looks like you're a bit short on funds. Come back when you have a little more coin in your pocket!" When the player has the Reality Bearer buff: "I barely remember anything from before I died, but that doesn't mean I can't make new memories. I'll be sure to remember your victory for as long as this body can move!"

Happiness quotes

When homeless: "Ah, I seemed to have forgotten where my home was. Could you help me out with that?" When neutral: "I'm nice and lively, thanks." When far from home: "Walk ten paces, check around, if I ain't home, then... how did that one go..." When in a sparse area: "Love me some empty space, it lets me not worry about others when I'm making my repellents." When overcrowded: "My neighbors are becoming quite rude to me simply because of what I am, this is so sad..." "So many people here... a full buffet... O-oh, you didn't hear anything, did you?" When in a Forest: "The forest just... makes me happy, like I belong here." When in the Snow biome: "It's already quite the challenge to move these joints, the cold really doesn't help!" When in an Evil biome or the Dungeon: "Do I like it here... Do I fear for my life... Do I lik- Nope. Nope. Out." When near the Guide: "<name of Guide> always helps open doors for me, he's so considerate!" When near the Clothier: "I feel an odd, but good connection with <name of Clothier>. Dunno why, I just feel it." When near the Princess: "<name of Princess> looks strawberry-flavored... Ah, I was just mumbling to myself!" When near the Spiritualist: "You can barely see it under the hood, but I think <name of Spiritualist> keeps giving me really weird looks..."
