Introduction

⁠⁠	Hey, you're one of the new Builders! Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm Owen, I run the Blue Moon saloon.

⁠⁠	Are ya hungry? I have a couple of sample dishes, I know you can work up quite an appetite after spending a day in the ruins! Drop by anytime, I'll be around. ⁠⁠Jerky (2) ⁠⁠Dried Sandberry (1)

Acquaintance

⁠⁠	Hey there, Builder! If you're ever hungry, stop by the Blue Moon Saloon! That's my place!

⁠⁠	I'm always serving up tasty dishes on my tables at the Blue Moon; make sure you stop in on the regular!

⁠⁠	You know, the Blue Moon used to be called Sandrock Hotel. It was created by the founder of Sandrock, Martle. Just some trivia for ya!

⁠⁠	Drop by my saloon sometime and listen to my stories; I know all about this town and its history!

⁠⁠	Travellers here always ask which is dryer in climate, Sandrock or Barnarock. I'd say it's Sandrock; we've gotta be the best at somethin', I figure.

⁠⁠	Martle's Oasis used to be called the sapphire of the Eufaula. At least, that's what my Pa told me. Nobody calls it that these days, I'm afraid.

⁠⁠	My Pa chose the name "Blue Moon" for the saloon because he wanted the saloon to have the luck of 'once in a blue moon' every day and night.

Buddy

⁠⁠	Hey, not everybody knows this, but Grace isn't just working for me; I've taken her under my wing as my culinary arts student! But uh, you know. The teacher can only show you the door, you have to provide the key.

⁠⁠	I just got a fresh shipment of Yakmel Milk from the Wandering Y; try a glass sometime! I think you'll find it's as delicious as it is nutritious!

⁠⁠	Hey, Builder! Find anything good ruin diving lately? Don't forget to cool off from time to time!

⁠⁠	I've been situated here in Sandrock for as long as I can remember, right here at the Blue Moon. In a way, I guess you could say we grew together!

⁠⁠	I like Grace, but people are starting to complain about her cooking... She's a smart gal though, I'm confident she'll figure it out soon enough!

⁠⁠	You might have heard I'm a bit more well to do than the average citizen around here, and that'd be right. There's no secret, really. Just do good business, try to do the right thing by your customers. Everything else'll sort itself out.

⁠⁠	The "relic rush" in this town is long over, but that doesn't mean our days are numbered. I believe if we keep working hard, this town will flourish once more!

⁠⁠	Long time ago I had seven identical twins stop into the Blue Moon. I've heard of triplets, quintuplets even, but septuplets!? ...My heart goes out to their mother.

Friend

⁠⁠	I get along with pretty much everybody! ...Except arrogant chefs. There was this guy who came in a while back bragging about his recipe for some tastless broth... Meat and salt, bro! Those were the only ingredients! How could you be proud of something like that? Tell you what, though: that guy could arm wrestle...

⁠⁠	Long time ago I had seven identical twins stop into the Blue Moon. I've heard of triplets, quadruplets even, but septuplets!? ...My heart goes out to their mother.

⁠⁠	Man, Player. I just wish you came here sooner. There're so many people not around anymore who really would've liked to have met ya. My Pa woulda loved seeing that workshop of yours, don't get me started!

⁠⁠	I gotta say, Player. It really brightens my day when you stop in at the saloon. Don't be a stranger!

⁠⁠	A nice reporter from Portia came by once to do a story on Sandrock. Her questions were so thought-provoking that I froze up and couldn't think of anything interesting to say! They ended up running an interview with Cooper of all people! Guess I'm not cut out for the limelight, huh?

⁠⁠	One time a guy came through who couldn't stop talkin' about how "manly" he was. Manly this, manly that. He even gave me a book on how to be more "manly" myself. To be honest, I was a little offended by that...

⁠⁠	The Mayor of Portia visited here once! He liked his Yakmel Milk straight up, no additives. The guy's earned my respect.

Boyfriend

⁠⁠	I've told so many stories, but none compare to our first kiss. Hey, why don't you try and tell it next time? I'll sit by the stage and be your most loyal fan.

⁠⁠	Everyone always sees this cool calm exterior, and guesses everything is fine. But you know, my parents always wrote to me saying I focus too much on work. Finally, now I have you, I can tell them my work and life are both where I want them to be.

⁠⁠	You know, I used to travel around, thinking the sky's the limit. Eventually, my parents taught me what real responsibility is, so I took root here in Sandrock. In front of everyone, I'm the hardworking boss of the Blue Moon Saloon. In front of you, I can finally just be myself.

⁠⁠	When I was young I'd always look up at the sign on our Blue Moon... made me full of hope. Then when I got older, the sign started to represent the responsibility I shoulder. But now, with you, it shows a new beginning, a new life with you.

⁠⁠	I've always thought about what my ideal life might be like and... well, I think this is it. With you by my side... there's really nothing I'd like more!

⁠⁠	Babe, you know, I've been developing all sorts of dishes lately. Since I've been with you I've had so much inspiration. Next one I make, how about I name it after you?

During a sandstorm

Regular lines

⁠⁠	Appreciate the visit, Builder, but there's nothing fun to do during a sandstorm! You'd probably do best to just stay home.

⁠⁠	With all the wind and sand outside, it inconveniences everyone. The Blue Moon will still hold stories from time to time though, gotta give the people some respite. You know you're always welcome through these doors, Player.

⁠⁠	I always make sure I got a surplus of goods stocked. In Sandrock, you never know what's gonna happen, if I couldn't get goods on days like this, I'd have to shut shop tomorrow.

Buddy

⁠⁠	You know, Player, in the face of sandstorms, you gotta keep up your fitness. I got a set of exercises I do at home, when I can't get out. I'll teach you sometime.

⁠⁠	Hey, Player. Another sandstorm, huh? Well, why don't you stick around and have a milk or two, tell me how you've been? Beats goin' back out there, huh?

Boyfriend

⁠⁠	Honey, there's a lot of wind and sand blowin' about outside. It really ain't that safe, and you know how I worry about you. Listen to me, jus' stay indoors. You can do what you need to tomorrow.

Festivals

Day of the Bright Sun

⁠⁠	I'd love to tell the story of Peach to start off the festival, but that is kinda the Mayor's gig. I guess we have to respect tradition and all...

Day of Memories

⁠⁠	The Day of Memories has a long history; different cities have their own ways of celebrating, but we all share the same sentiment.

Running of the Yakmel

⁠⁠	I only really feel like I'd 'made it' as a storyteller when City Hall started asking me to do the opening ceremonies for the Running of the Yakmel. It's a huge honor!

Conversations

Birthday

⁠⁠	Hey, I never told you when my birthday was, did I? It's the second of Spring! After ringing in the new year, I like to keep the party going for another twenty four hours; it's a good time to stop in at the saloon, I'll say that much...

Gift responses

Some items gifted to Owen will yield a special non-generic response.

When gifted cooking tools he loves:

⁠⁠	You know they say it's the chef, not the tools, that makes a good meal. But this looks so good I reckon it might just prove them wrong!

When gifted king fish he loves:

When gifted a Painting: Desert:

⁠⁠	Something about this painting really speaks to me, Player. The view is beautiful. The figure... I'll hold onto this one; thanks.

When gifted a Ceramic Bottle:

Play

Once the player has become buddies with Owen, they can schedule a play date together. Owen can participate in all playdate activities, including playing Whac-A-Mole.

Play date dialogue

Start and end

Play date starts:

⁠⁠	What's the plan today？I'm open to anything. Lead the way, Player!

Play date end in a good mood:

⁠⁠	Hahaha, I thought I was good at takin' people out, but you really know how to show others you care! I'm glad we had this time to spend together.

Play date end in a neutral mood:

⁠⁠	If you're trying to make people happy, then it's not a waste of time. What I mean is, don't worry, today wasn't that bad.

Play date end in a bad mood:

⁠⁠	Player, today was a bit disappointing... though I think your heart was in the right place.

Sitting and chatting

Suggesting to start the activity:

⁠⁠	The scenery here is really nice, how about we kick up our heels for a bit?

Compliment appearance:

⁠⁠	Hahah! Well, thank you. I think it's the beard. It always grows in real rugged looking. But, you know, it's not the beard on the outside, but the beard on the inside that counts.

⁠⁠	Well, us folks around here are built a little differently, as you may have already gathered! Something about all the sand and dust blowing around... I guess that's the seasoning that gives us our unique flavor, haha!

⁠⁠	Hey, just part of the trade. When people go to a restaurant, they want to see the staff dressed up and put together. Makes the place seem classier.

⁠⁠	Hey, that's nice of you to say! You know... my pal Butch always says I peaked in school but I don't feel over the hill yet, haha!

⁠⁠	Thanks! I've actually heard that one before... er, but... when you say it, it, uh, hits different. Better! It's better when you say it!

Compliment work:

⁠⁠	Well, I grew up workin' at the saloon, so it all comes pretty natural! You pick up on the disposition you're supposed to have pretty quick, and... I guess these kinds of people skills translate pretty well outside the saloon, too, huh?

⁠⁠	I'm flattered. But y'know, there's always a lot on the line: one bad review and who knows how far it could spread? That's why I'm always trying to stay focused and make sure nobody leaves this place unsatisfied!

⁠⁠	It's all about how you look at it: I try not to think of the people passin' through as just customers. They're our guests! And it's on us to make sure they pick up some good memories here.

⁠⁠	Haha, comin' from you, that's high praise! The way you're churnin' out all that cool stuff so fast over at that workshop of yours... You'll have to show me how you do it sometime!

⁠⁠	Haha, glad to hear it. But I do slip up sometimes, too. The other day some folks thought nobody was workin' the saloon; I guess I got so wrapped up in a conversation, I forgot to do my job!

Compliment personality:

⁠⁠	Haha, well, I like to think of myself as amicable. But sometimes my manners get the better of me and I can be kinda suggestable. The other day Arvio sold me a dozen icecube trays... What am I gonna do with those?

⁠⁠	It's all about growth. Actually, for a while, back when I was an angsty teenager, you could say I was a bit of a handful haha! Taking a more forward role here at the saloon took the edge off, I suppose you could say...

⁠⁠	I think it comes with the territory. Ever met an ornery chef? Cooking's about other people, so you gotta have some empathy, you know?

⁠⁠	Hey, now I'm alright, but take a look at yourself, eh? I've been runnin' this here saloon for a hair longer than a panbat's age, and I can't say I've ever met anyone like you! That, er, is a compliment, by the way!

⁠⁠	Ah, well. You know how it is. Gotta get along with folks, you know how some tourists can be. I guess you can say my temperament was tempered in the flames of... customer service.

Dining

Suggesting to start the activity:

⁠⁠	Are you tryin' to give me your business? That's not necessary! But if there's any special dishes you wanna try, take a seat! I- er, I'm kinda your guy for recommendations here...

Asked about work:

⁠⁠	Things are goin' alright! Had to ask Cooper to behave better the other night. He was spoutin' off a bunch of weird conspiracy theories like the moon isn't real and birds are reading our thoughts...

⁠⁠	You know, people are always wondering how I can stand to hang out in the same saloon night after night... Well, the scenery stays the same, but the faces sure don't- There's always a new story to hear, just nearly every night!

⁠⁠	I'm not just upholding some tradition, I love taking care of the old saloon! I've settled arguments, helped folks pop the question, and eavesdropped on every manner of conversation... it's an emotional rollercoaster! And I've got no plans to get off.

⁠⁠	I gotta say, I do like being the town chef. It's nice to bring value to the table by bringing... food to the table. You know, creating stuff for people! But hey, I'm sure you get that, right? If we keep honing our crafts, there's no limit to the stuff we can make for our friends here!

When ordering food:

⁠⁠	Haha, I'm not used to being a customer here! Why don't you help me out, and pick what we eat.

Happy with the food player has ordered:

⁠⁠	Player, you really know me well, huh? These are all some of my favorites. Come on, try this one! I reckon you're gonna love it.

Neutral towards the food player has ordered:

⁠⁠	These are some good dishes. Some of our most popular ones, actually. Why don't you eat up and see if Grace's made any progress.

Unhappy with the food player has ordered:

⁠⁠	Ahh these dishes... I mean... it's not what I would have chosen. But I guess it just goes to show choice is a benefit of the Blue Moon!

Sand drawing

Suggesting to start the activity:

⁠⁠	Sand's a real good way to draw. It's easy, and can get your creative gears goin'. Wanna try together?

Drawing successful:

⁠⁠	Dang, Builder! That ain't bad at all! Maybe I could spin a new yarn, "The Builder Who Painted the Sand!" Although, how am I gonna fit any character development into such a tale...?

Drawing unsuccessful:

⁠⁠	Don't worry, a lil' more practice and you'll be paintin' with the best of them!

Fireworks

Suggesting to start the activity:

⁠⁠	I don't usually come this far out of town... could be a good place to light up some fireworks, what do you think?

Happy with the fireworks display:

⁠⁠	Sure was a fine show, Builder. Y'know, when we're havin' concerts in town, I reckon you could get the atmosphere goin'!

Unhappy with the fireworks display:

⁠⁠	Uh... maybe next time I'll bring you some pictures of others' fireworks, might give you some inspiration. Yeah, I'm one of those guys who collects pictures of fireworks...

Whac-A-Mole

Suggesting to start the activity:

⁠⁠	If you can believe it, I've beaten Justice a few times at Whac-a-Mole. Just sayin': watch your back! This ain't my first rodeo!

Player wins:

⁠⁠	Outstanding! Accuracy, strength, and reflex! You been practicin' ain't ya? Well, you've made a believer out of me!

Player loses:

⁠⁠	Phew, made me work for that one! You put up a good fight, I'll give you that! Lookin' forward to next time!

Game ends in a draw:

⁠⁠	It seems we're pretty evenly matched, huh? I say we oughta take some time to practice, then meet up again and have ourselves an old-fashioned shoot-out at the Sandrock corral.
