Tish's Dialogue

Hi! Welcome to the Valley! I’m Tish. I run the furniture store.

Are you new in town or just passing through?

I’m known as a bit of a grump whisperer in these parts.

Hmm... I get the feeling that you're an Air Type personality.

Why? Because my brother's an Air type, and you two are pretty similar to each other.

Hmm... I get the feeling that you're a Fire Type personality.

Why? Because I'm a Fire type, and we're pretty similar to each other!

Hmm... I get the feeling that you're a Water Type personality.

Why? Because Jina's a Water type, and you two are pretty similar to each other.

Information needed.

I know the Humans showing up freaks some people out, but not me.

I think it's exciting that you guys arrived to shake things up.

Oh, I'm just so happy you're here. Seeing your face makes me smile harder than getting a new pair of shoes.

And that's saying something...'cause I like shoes a lot.

I love the wistful willows that grow here.

Not only are they beautiful, but their bark is soft and pliable.

It’s super easy to make beautiful furniture if you’re working with willow bark.

If you want to impress Eshe, I would recommend dressing your house to the 9s.

I swear, that woman has a Grimalkin's sense of opulence.

Not that it's bad...necessarily, but I always liked things to feel a bit more cozy, ya know?

One of the things I hate the most about being an adult is having to figure out what to eat every night.

When Reth and I were kids, our parents decided that for us. But once in a while, they let him choose what was on the menu instead.

That meant soup for breakfast, soup for lunch, and soup for dinner and dessert!

And he wonders why I never ask for soup anymore...

See this little book in my pocket? I use it to keep track of my design ideas.

I carry it around with me at all times. You never know when inspiration will strike!

When you're designing your home, it's important to come up with a color palette.

I like changing up the palette of my room to match whatever's currently in season.

Word around town is you're becoming quite the expert craftsperson.

I'd love to see what you can do sometime.

Who knows? Maybe one day we can even go into business together.

Do you like my hair clip? My brother gave it to me as a gift just before we moved here.

The style is super unique. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.

Jel was the first friend I made after moving to Kilima.

After settling in, I went around introducing myself to everyone in the village. His shop happened to be my very first stop.

He complimented me on my hair clip, and I complimented his dreadful choice of curtains.

Thanks to Caleri, I was able to get my hands on some limited edition magazines.

I totally didn't request for the latest issue of the Trendsetter magazine just for the Bahari Boyz cover.

Oh my Dragon, they just get hotter and hotter every time I see them.

I dragged Reth to one of their concerts once, and you won't BELIEVE what happened!

One of the Bahari Boyz noticed him sulking in the crowd and decided to serenade him right in the middle of "What Makes You Bee-utiful"!

I have a picture of it somewhere. I'll show you when I find it!

If you need a hobby that helps you relax, I recommend learning to craft furniture.

When I start working, all my stress just melts away.

We have DIY kits for sale if you're interested.

I've been thinking of making a new line inspired by the flora and fauna of the Valley.

You know, I could make a wistful willow bed frame, a faux Sernuk skin rug, and a stinkbug themed incense burner.

Okay, you're right, that last idea could use a little work.

I've been planning a trip to visit our relatives in Bahari City, except nobody wants to go with me!

Reth says he's busy with work, and Jel just outright refuses to go there!

Oh well. There's no use crying over spilled Ormuu milk.

Hopefully you and I can go to Bahari City together one day. I just know you’d love it there!

Oh. my. gosh! Did you see that Chapaa run by just a second ago?

His fuzzy little tail was just the most adorable thing ever.

I have a jar of popsicle sticks in my cupboard. Each stick has someone's name written on it.

Once in a while, I'll randomly pick a few of them to invite over for a meal.

I'm having breakfast with Kenli, Hassian, and Elouisa tomorrow morning. Things are about to get interesting!

I just love Umbraan interior design.

Their commitment to honoring nature in all their pieces is just...mwah!

I was actually so inspired by some of their pieces, I came up with my own.

How are you doing today?

Don't mind me. I was just daydreaming about taking a trip somewhere special.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I took your advice and actually went to bay the other day.

I'm glad I did because I had just the best time.

I hung out on the beach and looked for oysters and shells. I even found a green pearl!

So I was thinking about our fantasy vacation the other day and checked out a book on the Inyrevn Isles.

Did you know there is actually an island shaped like the Inyrevn turtle god?

Some say it can actually get up and walk on the water in times of trouble!

So I will admit our talk about wanting to visit an ancient city actually got me thinking.

I talked to Sifuu about her travels and she said there is a community in the Painted Desert where people live in houses carved into the sides of canyons.

She said they even have a luxury hotel! Now, that's an ancient city I wouldn't mind visiting.

So you'll never guess what I heard the other day.

There are some Grimalkin scientists working on getting one of their old spaceships running again.

Maybe your dream to visit the stars will come true after all!

I'm curious, Player. Where do you go when you need some creative inspiration?

Have you seen Reth around? We were supposed to have dinner at the Inn, but he didn't show. I hope he's alright...

The sunset's so pretty.

I wish I could capture all those colors and make them into a blanket...or maybe a throw pillow.

*Yawn* Do you mind if I sleep just a little longer?

I was having the cutest dream about taking care of a baby kitsuu.

Having a hard time sleeping? Me too.

It's hard to quiet my mind. It's always so full of ideas.

Do you like the furniture? I made most of the pieces myself.

My family comes from a long line of carpenters, going all the way back to the time of the First Council.

Do you like the "makeshift collection"?

It was inspired by some pieces Reth and I tried to make as kids.

There's something just so homey about imperfection you know?

I wish my parents could have been around to see this shop.

I think they would have been proud of me...and Reth too, despite his non-traditional path.

Well, if it isn't my favorite customer.

I got a few new things in today that I think you'll really like.

I've been busier than ever since Humans started showing up in Kilima.

Thanks to you guys, business is booming and I've made TONS of new friends.

It's amazing how much I've learned about Humans along the way, too!

The front of the store highlights our rotating collection.

I always love getting new pieces from vendors all over Palia.

I'm helping Jel work on his latest looks.

I like having a preview of what's coming out next season...

Jel and I are performing our nightly ritual... Of sharing our designs with each other!

Don't even try to sneek a peek. These pieces aren't out yet!

The day's finally winding down.

It's time for me and Jel to do our nightly design sharing.

He has no idea I've been tinkering with a secret project on the sidelines. I'm going to surprise him when the time's right.

Not really. Jel gets too absorbed in his own thoughts to notice anything going on around him, even if it's right under his nose.

I can't wait to see the look on his face when I give him this wearable throne.

It's made of thorniest and darkest enchanted wood I could find.

It's going to look PERFECT on him, I just know it!

There's this experimental set I've been working on for a while. The style is way different than what I'd usually go for, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try something new.

...I was wrong.

No matter how many times I rework the designs, I can't seem to get them right.

I'm stumped about what to do next.

That's what Jel told me.

He said that if my work drains me rather than fuels me, it's as good as dead.

I'm going to take your advice and call it quits. Into the trash these sketches go!

What's your favorite flower? I have a hard time deciding between Sundrop Lilies and Heartdrop Lilies.

Although...I have to admit, nobody's ever given me a Heartdrop Lily.

In Palia, if you give somebody a Heartdrop Lily, it means you have romantic feelings for them.

While giving someone a Sundrop Lily means you want to be their friend.

I guess I'm more of a Sundrop girl, than a Heartdrop girl.

Every time I see you, my worries just melt away like butter on a frying pan.

I know I've probably said this a thousand times by now, but I'm SO glad we met.

It feels like just yesterday, I was teaching you how to build your own furniture. It's been a while since then.

Time really flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?

I know I don't always say it, but I really appreciate having you around.

Your positive energy is just what this place needs.

I'm so glad you came to this village.

Who could have guessed my very best friend would be a member of a formerly extinct ancient race?

Life's funny sometimes...

When Reth and I moved here from the city, I was excited to meet new people and learn new things.

At the same time, I was pretty nervous about starting my entire life over.

Yes you, silly Kitsuu!

You've made my life here SO much fun. I can't thank you enough for that!

You wanna know my deepest, darkest secret I've never told anyone?

...I...I don't actually think chapaas are that cute!

I only pretend to because I know everybody else in the village besides Hassian thinks they are totally adorbs, but I...do not get it.

There I said it. I hope you don't hate me now.

I said hi to Kenyatta the other night, and she looked at me like I was weird!

When I first moved here I was super intimidated by Kenyatta.

Like she just gives off this super cool vibe, and I thought she would think I was just some basic bumpkin.

But then, we got to talking and I realized we actually have a lot in common.

Did you know she's also into fashion pamphlets?

I've actually been helping her sneak some while she's at work.

I'm glad you’re here, Player. I'm in a bit of a pickle. Nai'o decided to show me some of the music he was working on lately and it was...not good.

He asked me how it was, and I don't know how to respond. I don't want to be mean, but I don't want to lie either. What should I do?

What should I do?

I don't know if Reth has had a chance to tell you this, but he really appreciates your friendship.

Most of the folks around here aren't too kind to him, on account of the fact he strayed from his Path.

I think he really likes that you see him like I see him...

Jel needed me to model for him today. So I guess my "rage redecorating" will just have to wait...

Did you know that Zeki sends flowers to his mother every week?

Being that close to your parents is a bit frowned-upon in Grimalkin culture.

If Zeki weren't blackmailing my brother, and threatening my life, I'd almost feel bad for the fuzzy little guy.

I FINALLY picked up on something useful via the singing stone we planted.

Zeki needs something super rare to finish an invention he's working on.

And if I can get it first...well, then...he'll have to bargain with me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find my digging gloves.

Hey, I hate to ask, but have you had time to brew that potion yet?

You know what, never mind. I shouldn't be bothering you with my problems.

I'll just have to focus on the positives. I got some new flower pots in today. They're really lovely, you should check them out.

I'll be here focusing on the flower pots and definitely NOT on the potion that might save my life and my brother’s future!

I know I really should tell Reth about the potion, but how do I bring it up?

Do I just walk up to him and say, I know you've been keeping secrets from me for years, but don't worry it was all for nothing 'cause I'm fixed now???

Unfortunately, I'm so deep in Ormuu crap right now, I don't know how to dig myself out.

I don't know if you heard, Player, but the douplifier works!

Reth's working on the distribution plan and I'm working on making the casing more attractive.

It wouldn't do to have a wonderful magic-crafter only for it to be too ugly to put in someone's home!

I have to admit, Player, I was a bit nervous about this alliance with Zeki at first.

But the more I hear him talk about his plan, the more I think it might actually work.

Thanks for talking me into listening to him. Whether this works or not, he's got his heart in the right place.

I didn't figure out a way to free Reth yet. But I did learn that Zeki's apprentice, a Grimalkin named Zoraya, cheated him out of his fiscal freedom.

Maybe we could use that?

OMG! Is that Jel's pin? Please tell me it is. You two would make the CUTEST couple!

Wait, I recognize that pin! That belongs to my brother... are you and Reth... oh, I see.

Well... uh... I don’t want to get in the way of you two doing whatever it is you’re doing.

But I don’t know if we should see each other anymore.

Going out with somebody who is also seeing my brother is just a little weird.

I've heard your furniture making skills are just...mwah!

But there's always something new to learn! I've got a bunch of new recipes available for you to buy.

Pretty good deal, huh? You get rewarded for your hard work, and I get a buddy to talk shop with!

Oh, it's so wondeful you stopped by! I was hoping you'd be the first to see these...

I just got these lovely rustic recipes in. I think they're delightful!

Why don't you take a look?

There's so many different ways to decorate with these - let me know how you use them!

Want to know a secret? You can actually change the color palettes of all that furniture you've been making!

You just need to buy the recipe for the modification bench. I just got it in stock!

Oh, just promise me you'll show me all the exciting things you do with it!

I was just thinking about you, and here you are!

It's like you read my mind, cutie.

Quick, what am I thinking about now?

How cute you are, of course!

Oh, Player! Do you need anything?

Oh! I think I can help you with that...

Are you in a good mood today? You're practically glowing!

Player! Stop, you're making me all flustered!

Sorry, cutie, I'm just so worked up today.

Reth promised he'd be home for dinner last night, and then he just BAILED! Can you believe that?

Hi, cutie! What are you up to next?

You're here! Yay!

Oh! Player, you charmer!

What's your favorite season?

I know it's silly, but I always feel so excited when I see you.

You’re here! How was your day, oh, I hope it was good.

How does my hair look today?

Oh, good! I rushed out of the house so fast this morning, I had to do it in the backroom, but I thought you might stop by so-

Well, I wanted to look nice for you.

I heard that this is the first Maji Market that Kilima’s held in ages.

It’s nice to see the village come together like this, even if not everybody could make it.

I made sure my evenings were free ahead of time just for the market. I plan on enjoying every second of it!

The only thing that would make the Maji Market even better is a live performance from the Bahari Boyz. I’d do anything to be in the front row if they did.

I wonder if there’s a way we could invite them to perform in Kilima sometime.

I bought so many fireworks from Hodari and Najuma. I’m saving all of them for the last day of the market.

I’m going to set them all off at the same time right before I leave. It’s going to be amazing!

I couldn’t stop petting the chapaas on my way into the market. They’re so sweet and full of love!

And oh my Dragon, their adorable little hats!!! Whoever put those on them knew what they were doing!

I’ve been trying to get Jel to try some of the food from Reth’s cart, but he refuses to get anywhere near my brother. He won’t even say hi to him!

Either way, Jel’s coming with me to Reth’s cart later, whether he likes it or not! I just know he’ll love what he’s selling!

Last year, I spent most of my time at the Maji Market with Jel and Reth. This time I'm doing things a little differently and seeing what the experience is like on my own.

It's different, in a good way. I'm noticing a lot of things I wouldn't have noticed before, and I'm chatting with a lot of people.

Of course, I'm reserving quality time to spend with family and friends, too- you included!

The Maji Market is just wonderful, isn't it? Especially for Luna New Year!

I don't think you were at the first one, but it was magical then, too.

If you haven't already, you should take some time to look at everyone's wishes.

Most of them are hanging on the main wish tree, but a few of them are posted on some of the smaller trees around the market, too.

What did I wish for? Well, you'll just have to read mine to find out!

I couldn't get enough of last year's Maji Market because of those adorable chapaas. It's safe to say I still have a soft spot for those little ones.

One look at those adorable faces, and you're going to melt. I guarantee it.

I'll be at the Maji Market tonight celebrating Luna New Year with everyone! What about you?

Usually I spend most of my time at the Maji Market with Jel and Reth. This time I'm doing things a little differently and seeing what the experience is like on my own.

It's different, in a good way. I'm noticing a lot of things I wouldn't have noticed before, and chatting with a lot of people.

Of course, I'm reserving quality time to spend with family and friends, too- you included!
