Recruit Training: Frankie
Part 1
- Cybil: Hey-hey, <player>! I want you to meet our latest and greatest recruit: Frankie!
- Frankie: Omigosh, are you another veteran monster fighter of this mysterious island also?!
(Choice between "Veteran?" and "I haven't been here THAT long!")
- Frankie: A magical world full of monsters, and the dashing heroes who transform to battle them...!
- Frankie: THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER DREAMED OF!
- If current partner is Kayleigh:
- Kayleigh: You're pretty excited by all this, aren't you?
- If current partner is Eugene:
- Eugene: I like your enthusiasm!
- If current partner is Meredith:
- Meredith: That's not the reaction I was expecting.
- If current partner is Felix:
- Felix: You're more enthusiastic than I was when I first came here.
- If current partner is Viola:
- Viola: You don't seem disturbed by your unexpected voyage to this place, friend.
- If current partner is Sunny:
- Sunny: This girl seems pretty happy to be here!
- Cybil: As you can see, Frankie here has taken the news of coming to New Wirral pretty well.
- Frankie: I assure you, I want to make the most of this! Joining the Rangers is no doubt the path this adventure has in store for me! Hehe~
- Cybil: I've given Frankie a spare cassette player. All you'll need to do now is give her a monster tape, and show her the ropes!
- Cybil: ...And that's the end of my broadcast! See you around <player>!
- Frankie: My very own monster form... The first step on my own fantastical journey...
- Frankie: Do you have a tape for me?
(Choice between "Here it is!" and "Not yet.")
(After giving Frankie a cassette:)
- Frankie: I'm gonna be <monster description>, huh?
- Frankie: ...
- Frankie: THIS FORM IS PERFECT! I WILL TREASURE THIS CASSETTE TAPE WITH MY LIFE!
- Frankie: Please, Captain, you must "show me the ropes"! I demand to see the ropes! Let's fight some monsters, OK?
(After defeating the monsters:)
- Frankie: Wow, turning into a weird monster is actually much more tiring than I thought it would be.
- Frankie: I think I need to go and rest. And eat a lot of food. Potentially in that order.
- Frankie: Seeya, Captain! Thanks for training me! A plucky young hero always needs a wisened mentor, and I'm glad it's you!
- If current partner is Kayleigh:
- Kayleigh: She's quite the personality!
- If current partner is Eugene:
- Eugene: You're a pretty good teacher, <player>!
- If current partner is Meredith:
- Meredith: I'm glad I am no longer the most socially awkward person on the island.
- If current partner is Felix:
- Felix: Huh. You're a pretty good teacher.
- If current partner is Viola:
- Viola: You took the role of the tutor in your stride, <player>.
- If current partner is Sunny:
- Sunny: You make for a pretty good teacher, <player>!
Part 2
- Frankie: Oh, hey there captain! Are you here to assist me in my own personal hero's journey?
(Choice between "'Hero's Journey'...?" and "What are you up to?")
- Frankie: THERE MUST COME A MOMENT WHERE EVERY PLUCKY YOUNG ADVENTURER CARVES THEIR OWN PATH~
- Frankie: That's what I'm doing. I'm the plucky young adventurer, if you didn't get where I was going with this.
(Choice between "I see." and "I'm not following.")
- Frankie: Anyway, I found one of those "Rogue Fusions" just up ahead - I'm going to go and show it who's boss!
(Choice between "Do you need a hand?" and "Are you sure that's a good idea?")
- Frankie: Don't worry! I have a natural affinity for this - I've read over 200 fanfics about people transforming into monsters. (Please don't ask me to elaborate on this.)
- Frankie: Let's go!
(After the fight)
- Frankie: WE DID IT~
- Frankie: My career is coming along quite well, I think!
(Choice between "Career?" and "Huh?")
- Frankie: W-well, my career as a dashing and mysterious heroine who saves the humble people of this fantasy land, of course!
- Frankie: I have no doubt - soon a greater evil shall arise...
- Frankie: AND I SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAVING THIS ISLAND!
(Choice between "You're a bit late." and "I've done that already!")
- Frankie: Huh? Y-you have?
- Frankie: That's OK! I'm sure there'll be SOME evil left somewhere for me to overcome! You might have missed a spot!
Part 3
- Frankie: Hey, <player>! I have a question for you!
(Choice between "Ask away!" and "What's your question?")
- Frankie: What does it mean... to take charge of your life?
(Choice between "That's a broad question." and "What..?")
- Frankie: W-well, I should be using my time on New Wirral to fulfil my life, or something! Save the world! Find my true calling! Fall in love!
- Frankie: Y'know, all the classic adventure stuff. I can't waste a second!
(Choice between "Maybe your expectations are too high..." and "Don't put yourself under too much pressure!")
- Frankie: Hm. You're probably right.
- Frankie: OK, second question! Can you help me fight a Rogue Fusion I found nearby? I'm sure that'll be a worthwhile experience!
(After the fight)
- Frankie: Thanks for the help, <player>! I have decided that that was indeed a worthwhile experience!
Part 4
- Frankie: Hey, captain! I am thinking of attempting to become a real ranger.
- Frankie: No more rookie status for me! Though I'll need to get stronger first.
- Frankie: ...So of course, I've tracked down a Rogue Fusion to battle! There's no time to wait - let's go pummel it!
(After the fight)
- Frankie: Thanks for the assistance! Perhaps next time you and I meet out in the field, you'll be seeing me as a fully-fledged ranger!
Part 5
- Frankie: Nyeh heh heh~! I bet you never expected that I would challenge you to a duel, right?
- Frankie: THE STUDENT MUST TAKE ON THE MASTER! The only way I can become a true ranger is to defeat you and claim your stamp!
- Frankie: I even tamed this Puppercut to help me! What do you say - do you accept my challenge?
(Choice between "Give it your all, rookie!" and "I won't go easy on you!")
(After the fight)
- Frankie: Nyeh heh heh~! I knew you'd be tough.
- Frankie: That's why I made sure to battle the other 12 captains first.
(Choice between "Huh?" and "You did what?")
- Frankie: You heard correctly - I already qualify for rangerhood!
- Frankie: I just wanted to see how tough you were. You didn't disappoint!
- Frankie: See you around, Captain~!
Friendly Battle
- Frankie: Nyeh heh heh~! Bet you didn't expect to find your two protégés here, did you, Captain?
- Vin: Hey <player>. I've finally passed my training and become a full-time ranger!
- If current partner is Kayleigh:
- Kayleigh: I never would have figured these two would end up friends!
- If current partner is Eugene:
- Eugene: Heh. I guess these two are buddies now?
- If current partner is Meredith:
- Meredith: These two ended up as mates? I guess that figures.
- If current partner is Felix:
- Felix: I didn't realise you two knew each other! I suppose it's a small island.
- If current partner is Viola:
- Viola: I would never have assumed a friendship between such two different individuals!
- If current partner is Sunny:
- Sunny: I never would have thought those two would become friends!
- Frankie: Uh, I have some news too.
- Frankie: My pet Puppercut ran away~!
- Frankie: Captain Cybil says wild monsters don't make great pets, but... I'm certain it was the fanfic I wrote about him.
- Frankie: But not to worry! My new best buddy Vin doesn't mind that stuff!
- Vin: What's a fanfic, <player>? She won't tell me...
- Frankie: AHHHH~!
- Frankie: I demand a rematch, Captain! Me and Vin against you and <partner>! How about it?
(Choice between "Sure!" and "Not now.")
(After the fight)
- Frankie: Ahh... Not again!
- Vin: Chin up, Frankie. We can't win them all.
- Vin: <player>, it wasn't until I fused with Frankie that I realised relying on others isn't a weakness.
- Vin: When we combine our efforts, we're more than simply the sum of our parts. That's what all this is about, isn't it?
- Frankie: AND SO THE PLUCKY HEROINE AIDS THE ANTI-HERO'S REDEMPTION ARC THROUGH THE POWER OF LOVE~!
- Vin: Wait...?! What...
- Frankie: Nyeh heh heh~!
- Frankie: Seeya, <player>!
In Town Hall
- Frankie: Hey <player>! Just catching up on the latest goss before I head back out!
- Frankie: Hey <player>! Got any tasks for your promising young protégé? (I mean me.)
Character Interactions in Gramophone Café
Frankie and Kayleigh
- Frankie: ...I have to ask, Kayleigh. Is your hair naturally that colour?
- Kayleigh: Yeah! It’s not super uncommon to have ginger hair, at least in my neck of the woods.
- Kayleigh: I’m guessing you weren’t born with pink hair, though.
- Frankie: Well, no, but it's STAYED this colour ever since I washed up here.
- Kayleigh: If you’re happy with that then it’s not so bad, right?
- Frankie: It certainly saves me money on hair dye!
- Frankie: …Not that money exists here. Or hair dye.
Frankie and Eugene
- Frankie: …I just think that maybe I’m not the person my parents thought I’d be growing up. They’re supportive of me, but maybe I’m not the kid they thought I’d be.
- Eugene: I get that. I had a pretty momentous childhood - but my parents spent a lot of theirs fighting in the trenches of a guerilla war for the fate of a burning world, y’know?
- Frankie: …What?
- Eugene: I mean like, they raised me as best they could… but growing up I played in the ruins of the death machines that their generation felled, right?
- Eugene: There’s gonna be some distance between us when they’ve experienced something like that.
- Frankie: …Maybe my life is pretty easy, all things considered.
Frankie and Meredith
- Frankie: ...I just don’t know, Meredith. If I leave New Wirral, I’m going to have to get a job and all that boring stuff.
- Meredith: You’re just a kid, right? You’ve got some time left before you hit the mundanities of adulthood.
- Frankie: I’m eighteen! I don’t think you’re that much older than me!
- Meredith: Oh. I didn’t realise. I guess you have such a... youthful energy that I mistook you for younger.
- Frankie: I get that a lot!
Frankie and Felix
- Frankie: ...So if I provide you with a character description, do you think you could draw them for me?
- Felix: Sure! Just tell me what your character looks like, and I’ll get back to you with it.
- Frankie: OK, they’re like, imagine a werewolf, but wearing a business suit. No wait, it’s more like a tuxedo... And his fur colour is-
- Felix: Uh, how about you write down some notes for me instead?
Frankie and Viola
- Frankie: ...I guess I read a lot about romance for someone who has no interest in it myself.
- Frankie: Is that weird?
- Viola: I see what troubles you, dear Frankie. You ask if there is a contradiction in your passion for romantic and lustful prose, despite your own reluctance to partake in such dramas yourself?
- Frankie: ...I guess so...?
- Viola: If you wish to know my thoughts; I would say that you need not worry. Perhaps your heart’s desires shall change as you age, perhaps not.
- Viola: Enjoy the things you love, and love those around you in the way that pleases you most. This is a fine way to live one’s life, I believe.
- Frankie: Viola you are SO cool, do you know that?!
- Viola: I’m hearing such reports as of late!
Frankie and Sunny
- Frankie: ...So even though I didn’t know New Wirral existed before coming here, in some way I’ve been preparing for this kind of thing happening to me my whole life!
- Sunny: I see... because you read many fantasy stories… and write your own, if I am understanding right...?
- Frankie: Yes! Though the specific details with cassette tapes is a new twist, people love stories about friendships between monsters and humans - especially if there’s romance, too.
- Sunny: They do...? Is that why you are excited to be here - to be romanced by a monster?
- Frankie: What, m-me? No, I’m strictly an observer.
Magikrab's Gauntlet
(When Frankie is on her own)
- Frankie: What's going on? Maybe I shouldn't overthink it - time for an awesome fight!
(When Frankie is the first fighter in a pair)
- Frankie: Alright, partner! I'll take charge and you assist me - we'll win, no problem!
(When Frankie is the second fighter in a pair)
- Frankie: Gotcha! Oh man, I'm so excited!
