#meanwhile wendy and webber really like wx-78

[spoiledsprings]

something something wx-78 begrudgingly beginning to enjoy the company of their mini minions

i like to think wendy and webber find comfort in having their hair done, as they're kids who miss their families. and wx-78 tolerates doing their hair because the kids insist it'll "help with their morale", whatever THAT means.

whatever keeps their minions loyal, as long as it doesn't take too much work!

[kaaramel]

let’s crack open everyone’s character examine strings

eta: okay, think i caught everything

several of other people’s lines for winona feel really.. unpolished, to me. i haven’t seen any that were straight lifted from the generic ‘player’ lines but i wouldn’t be surprised if they’ll eventually be tightened up? or maybe my expectations are too high

WILSON

GENERIC = "Hey [Wilson]! How ya doin'?" ATTACKER = "Hands to yourself, bucko!" MURDERER = "Mad scientist! Get'em!" REVIVER = "You're good people, scientist." GHOST = "Stop whinin', [Wilson], it's just a scratch!" FIRESTARTER = "You better not have singed any of my projects, scientist."

elsewhere winona refers to wilson as ‘that egghead’ but it doesn’t read with particular malice to me

GENERIC = "Good day to you, [Winona]!" ATTACKER = "[Winona] is a safety hazard." MURDERER = "It ends here, [Winona]!" REVIVER = "It's pretty handy having you around, [Winona]." GHOST = "That probably threw a wrench into her plans." FIRESTARTER = "Things are burning up at the factory today.”

whee, puns

also, welcome to the first of many references to factory fires

WOLFGANG

GENERIC = "How you doin', big guy?" ATTACKER = "I wouldn't wanna catch the business end of those mitts!" MURDERER = "Watch out! He's got a taste fer blood now!" REVIVER = "You're just a big softie, aintcha?" GHOST = "Walk it off, big guy!" FIRESTARTER = "Was that fire an accident, [Wolfgang]?"

‘walk it off’ He’s Dead Winona

GENERIC = "Is fixing lady, [Winona]! Hello!" ATTACKER = “[Winona] is breaking things!" MURDERER = “[Winona] broke our friend!" REVIVER = "[Winona] is kind lady." GHOST = "Wolfgang will fix [Winona] with heart." FIRESTARTER = "[Winona]'s fires is make Wolfgang nervous."

MAXWELL

GENERIC = "So... [Maxwell]." ATTACKER = "Don't make me noogie you, [Maxwell]." MURDERER = "How many lives you plannin' on ruinin', [Maxwell]?" REVIVER = "Nice job, ya big walnut." GHOST = "I could just leave you like this, hey?" FIRESTARTER = "Mysterious fires follow you like a plague, [Maxwell]."

not especially fond of maxwell.

RED_CAP = "Let Max try it first." MAXWELL = "Well, you're a tall piece of work." MAXWELLHEAD = "You don't scare me." SHADOWDIGGER = "Too lazy to do your own chores, Max?" BEEMINE_MAXWELL = "That guy's got no concern for others. Pfft." TWIGGY_OLD = "Looks like that two-bit magician."

STATUEMAXWELL = "So THIS is "Maxy"."

‘maxy’ is how charlie referred to him, in the william carter puzzles

GENERIC = "Greetings, Ms. [Winona].”, ATTACKER = "[Winona] has been roughhousing like a commoner.", MURDERER = "You've engineered your own demise!", REVIVER = "[Winona] expertly uses all tools at her disposal.", GHOST = "My, you're looking spirited today, [Winona].", FIRESTARTER = "It's not wise to start factory fires, [Winona]."

considering what she insinuates about you, it may not be wise to taunt her about factory fires, max!

WX78

GENERIC = "C'mon, [WX-78]! Justa [sic] tiny peek under the hood!" ATTACKER = "Yeesh. They're on the fritz again." MURDERER = "I'll reset you to factory standards, bot." REVIVER = "Ha! The bucket'o'bolts has feelings after all!" GHOST = "Incredible! You gotta tell me how that works, [WX-78]!" FIRESTARTER = "Your logic lets you set fires, [WX-78]? Why?”

(coughs, points at wx’s canon pronouns) anyway i love this interaction

TRINKET_11 [Lying Robot] = "Maybe this bot'll let me poke around its insides." BLOWDART_YELLOW = "I'm gonna shoot this at the bot's butt.”

GENERIC = "DETECTING... [WINONA]!" ATTACKER = "THAT [WINONA] IS A DISASSEMBLY WORKER" MURDERER = "NO CONSTRUCTION. ONLY DESTRUCTION" REVIVER = " [WINONA] IS A VALUABLE MINION" GHOST = "HOW WILL YOU FIX THIS, [WINONA]?" FIRESTARTER = "HAHA. THIS ORGANIC HAS BEEN BURNING THINGS"

WILLOW

GENERIC = "Good ta see ya, [Willow]!" ATTACKER = "Yer a workplace hazard, [Willow]." MURDERER = "She's mad! Get'er!" REVIVER = "Knew I could count on you, [Willow]." GHOST = "Ha! You're a disaster, [Willow]." FIRESTARTER = "Business as usual."

BERNIE_INACTIVE = BROKEN = "He's a bit of a fixer-upper." GENERIC = "This little guy's been well loved." BERNIE_ACTIVE = "Is he clockwork? Can I peek inside?"

LIGHTER  = "Neat little gizmo there."

GENERIC = "Hi [Winona]!" ATTACKER = "Too rough, [Winona]! Jeez!" MURDERER = "Murderer! Now you burn!" REVIVER = "[Winona] never gives up on anyone." GHOST = "A heart sure would come in handy!"  FIRESTARTER = "Nice fire, [Winona] !"

WENDY

GENERIC = "Hey there, [Wendy]." ATTACKER = "Woah there, slugger!" MURDERER = "She's not playin'! Murderer!" REVIVER = "You got a sharp mind in that noggin, [Wendy]." GHOST = "I hope you left the other guy lookin' worse." FIRESTARTER = "Anythin' you wanna tell me about that fire, kiddo?"

yall should know this by now but the fastest way to my heart for a DS character is to be cute with the kids

ABIGAIL = "How are you, boo?" ABIGAILHEART = "No one should ever lose a sister."

DDD:

GENERIC = "How do you do, [Winona]?" ATTACKER = "There is anger in [Winona]'s heart." MURDERER = "Abigail and I are going to have fun with you!" REVIVER = "Hi [Winona]. Abigail says "thank-you"." GHOST = "You can't escape that way, [Winona]. I've tried." FIRESTARTER = "Is fire important in your line of work...?"

meanwhile: terrifying as usual

WOODIE

GENERIC = "You down ta chop some trees for me later, [Woodie]?" ATTACKER = "Watch where you're swingin' that thing, [Woodie]!" MURDERER = "Yikes! Axe murderer!" REVIVER = "You're a good, honest guy, [Woodie]." GHOST = "You're fine, [Woodie], I've seen worse." BEAVER = "Well ain't that somethin'." BEAVERGHOST = "You're just a walkin' disaster, ain'tcha, [Woodie]?" FIRESTARTER = "You're gonna start a forest fire, [Woodie]!"

“i’ve seen worse” h e ‘ s  d e a d  w i n o n a

LUCY = "You're alright for an axe."

for an axe...

GENERIC = "[Winona]! Hey there bud!" ATTACKER = "[Winona] is getting too big for her britches." MURDERER = "You're on the chopping block now, [Winona]!" REVIVER = "I knew we were gonna get along." GHOST = "Yer looking a little pale, [Winona]." FIRESTARTER = “[Winona] betrays the forest!"

WICKERBOTTOM

GENERIC = "How's life treatin' ya, grams?" ATTACKER = "Yeesh, that ol' librarian packs a punch!" MURDERER = "Watch out! Grams is on a rampage!" REVIVER = "Don't worry grams, I won't read too much into it. Ha!" GHOST = "You're a tough one, [Wickerbottom], I'll give ya that." FIRESTARTER = "A fire? Here I thought you were responsible, grams."

grams..................

BOOK_BIRDS = "I was never much of a book learner." BOOK_TENTACLES = "I'm not really a "book smarts" kind of gal." BOOK_GARDENING = "I prefer to learn from experience." BOOK_SLEEP = "I already know how to sleep, thanks." BOOK_BRIMSTONE = "I prefer hands-on learning."

GENERIC = "Ah, greetings dear [Winona]!", ATTACKER = "Rather crass wouldn't you say, [Winona]?" MURDERER = "I'll not tolerate such behaviour!" REVIVER = "[Winona] is quite the Jane of all trades." GHOST = "Tsk. Were you wearing your hardhat, dear?" FIRESTARTER = "That was certainly not a regulation fire, dear."

tiny, tiny nitpick: ‘behaviour’ is the british/commonwealth spelling. i have no idea if it was on purpose - elsewhere she uses ‘color’, etc

also there’s no hardhat item, but they sure do keep referencing it around her.

WES

GENERIC = "Don't worry [Wes], I can talk enough for two. Ha!" ATTACKER = "Didn't know ya had it in ya, [Wes]!" MURDERER = "Killer mime! I'll have nightmares tonight!" REVIVER = "Thanks for the assist, [Wes]." GHOST = "Let's getcha back on your feet, [Wes]." FIRESTARTER = "You responsible for that fire there, [Wes]?"

killer.. mime....

BALLOONS_EMPTY = "No fun without Wes."

WEBBER

GENERIC = "How's life treating ya, kiddo?" ATTACKER = "Yeesh, kid, dial it back!" MURDERER = "Killer spider! Get it!" REVIVER = "You did good, kid." GHOST = "You'll be fine, kid, yer a boxer." FIRESTARTER = "Alright, [Webber]. Why'd ya set the fire?"

WEBBERSKULL = "I swear the kid'd lose his head if it weren't... wait."

again, really cute EXCEPT FOR ‘KILLER SPIDER’ WHICH KILLS THIS LIZ....

in general she doesn’t like spiders :< i don’t expect her to, they’re trying to eat her face, but it makes me sad anyway

GENERIC = "Hi [Winona]! Build anything neat today?" ATTACKER = "Don't do hits, [Winona]!" MURDERER = "We didn't wanna have to do this!" REVIVER = "[Winona] keeps us all together!" GHOST = "Aw, I'm sorry that happened to you, [Winona]." FIRESTARTER = "Don't light fires, [Winona]!"

such a sweet kid

WIGFRID

GENERIC = "Hey, [Wigfrid]! Arm wrestle rematch later?" ATTACKER = "Woah! Watch that right hook, [Wigfrid]!" MURDERER = "Takin' the warrior thing too far, [Wigfrid]!" REVIVER = "That was good work there, [Wigfrid]." GHOST = "Well that just won't do at all!" FIRESTARTER = "Quit startin' fires, [Wigfrid]!”

SPEAR_WATHGRITHR = "This would never pass inspection." WATHGRITHRHAT = "Surprisingly practical."

GENERIC = "Greetings, brave [Winona]!" ATTACKER = "Dost thou test me, [Winona]?" MURDERER = "I shall unleash Ragnarok upon thee!" REVIVER = "[Winona] is guided by Brokkr." GHOST = "[Winona] hath fallen in battle! A heart!" FIRESTARTER = "[Winona]'s flames could temper steel."

stealing from wikipedia: “In Norse mythology, Brokkr (Old Norse "the one who works with metal fragments; blacksmith",[1] anglicized Brokk) is a dwarf...”

to paraphrase the wiki, apologies if this is inaccurate, but brokkr bet against loki that his family could build more beautiful things than the dwarves loki favored, and he worked the bellows while his brother made several artifacts including Mjollnir, even when loki took the forms of various biting insects to try n distract him. and won the bet

WINONA

GENERIC = "That's a good lookin' gal!" ATTACKER = "Ooo, I'm gonna disassemble you." MURDERER = "Pfft! I'd never murder so openly!" REVIVER = "I owe ya one, [Winona]." GHOST = "That is not a good look on you, [Winona]." FIRESTARTER = "Haven't we lost enough to fires, [Winona]?"

CHARLIE

ASSUMING THAT winona is indeed charlie’s sister. it seems likely to me. if absolutely nothing else, they know each other well.

ANNOUNCE_CHARLIE = "C-Charlie?", ANNOUNCE_CHARLIE_MISSED = "Ha! I know all your moves!", --Winona gets one free hit from Charlie ANNOUNCE_CHARLIE_ATTACK = "Yeow! Rude!" ROSE = "Not sure how to feel about that..."

marble ‘muse’ statues: TYPE2 = "We thought she was gone..." TYPE1 = "This is too strange."

MANDRAKE_ACTIVE = "This is exactly what having a little sister's like."

ABIGAILHEART = "No one should ever lose a sister."

(campfire/endothermic fire) OUT = "My sister was afraid of the dark."

WILDLY DISTRESSING
