Dialogue

Forename Surname, I presume?
Excellent. You fit the description I was given perfectly. My name is Hhuki, and I work as a cook at Aunt Tii's Tacos.
The owner, Tiisol Ja, has sent me to fetch you. She desires your counsel regarding a matter of great import. As soon as possible. ...Now, preferably. Shall we?
Optional dialogue
Aunt Tii's Tacos. I work in the nearby manufactory, where we prepare our tortillas and sauces.
Ah, here he/she is! Let your Aunt Tii get a good look at you.
...Mmm, could use a few tacos under that belt, but you're just the young man/woman I need.
You see, my humble little taco stand has been steadily gaining popularity. Some even say we're the face of Tuliyollan cuisine! So who better to ask for help, I thought, than the Dawnservants' trusted companion?
If you can put a Promise on the throne, you can help me achieve my dream of opening another branch of Aunt Tii's Tacos. A branch in Alexandria, no less!
I know! I could hardly believe it when the Rhodina Consortium reached out to me, just as I was considering prospective locations. But I can't complete all the necessary preparations on my own, not while keeping this shop afloat.
That's where you come in. I remember your help with my tortilla presses. That's the sort of skill I'm looking for!
Someone who knows Alexandria as well as you must have an invaluable perspective of her culture. With your wisdom and talents, I know you'll lead us true!
We're having our first meeting with the Consortium representative later tonight. There'll be ever so much to talk about and plan... Your old Aunt Tii can count on you, yes?
What will you say?
Anything for Aunt Tii's tacos!
Tiisol Ja: My, my! I knew I was right to choose you, Forename! You're a kind soul.
No such thing as afree lunch...

Tissol Ja:

Hhuki will escort the representative over, and we'll have our chat in that building across the way. There's a lovely little table on the second floor, so you go on ahead while your Aunt Tii finishes up some last-minute business.

Wait for Tiisol Ja at the designated location.

Optional dialogue
My greatest dream has been to share the joy of tacos with peoples all across the land. But dreams are built one step at a time─with dedication, affirmation, and proper respect paid to all who help along the way.
Which includes you, of course! Now, off you go─second floor, remember!
Start of cutscene.
It is an honor to make your acquaintance. My name is Strata, and I represent the Rhodina Consortium.
As a former denizen of Xak Tural, I am no stranger to the delights of Turali cuisine. I shall do my utmost to see that your tacos achieve as much success in Alexandria as they do in Tuliyollal.
Oh, you're too kind! I'm Tiisol Ja, owner and founder, but please─call me “Aunt Tii.” This is Hhuki, one of our veteran cooks. He keeps our manufactory running.
And this is our miracle-working assistant, Forename. He's/She's a trusted friend of the Dawnservants, you know.
We may seem the ragtag team, but I promise, we'll deliver results!
Let us strike to the heart of it, shall we? Ever since travel outside the dome has become possible, the people of Alexandria are tangibly curious about what lies beyond.
In particular, the Turali expatriates who made the journey to Tuliyollal have returned to Solution Nine with stories of love and nostalgia, often concerning food. And Aunt Tii's Tacos has been of no inconsiderable subject of discussion, thus catching Rhodina's ear.
When folk in Alexandrian garb tuck into my treats, my heart just warms like a skillet. We had a festival here not long ago─if only you could have seen! Oh, but there I go, rambling away. I'm sure Mistress Rhodina has her own thoughts on how best to sell my tacos in Solution Nine?
Yes. Careful planning and execution will be vital to achieving success. Anyone who has seen Alexandria would doubtless understand.
Tacos don't come in tubes.
Strata: Precisely. The culinary culture of our nations differs enough to present certain difficulties when integrating tacos into Alexandrian cuisine.
Strata: While there are those who prefer fresh produce, most denizens of Solution Nine rely upon a limited variety of processed foodstuffs and nutritional supplements for meals. Tacos in and of themselves may at first seem confusing, if not daunting.
The coffee feels familiar, but the rest is a bit...
>
I see, I see! Well, I'd like nothing better than to make a taco tailored to Alexandrian tastes. I want my offerings to become standard fare for Solution Nine. Something that inspires joy!
Our tacos boast unparalleled quality. I had assumed our extensive menu would accommodate all tastes...but if tacos are not appreciated from the outset, I suppose that boon is rendered moot.
The challenges we face may be significant, but they are not insurmountable. I have taken it upon myself to compile a list of short-period goals that the Consortium feels will secure success.
When we have cleared these goals and feel that all is in readiness, Aunt Tii's Tacos will open its doors in Solution Nine.
Now then, allow me to explain in detail─
Mrrrow! Mrrrrrrow, mrow!
My, what an adorable kitty cat! I did not expect to find any outside Solution Nine.
That's our local stray. Quite the mystery, that one. Some say she snuck aboard a trading vessel, while others guess she hails all the way from Alexandria.
Regardless, between her round figure and cute cry, she's captured all the hearts of Tuliyollal. We're smitten!
Is that so... Something tells me we'll have use of her charms yet.
I had thought we might start with a series of tastings in Solution Nine, but our fluffy friend here has inspired another plan of action.
To wit, I would first capitalize upon the rumors in circulation regarding your product. With the right advertisement, I am sure we can capture the hearts and minds of Alexandrians as surely as this cat has charmed Tuliyollal!
Marvelous! We'll provide whatever you need to advertise─just say the word!
Assemble materials you feel represent your brand. Once you are prepared, simply contact me, and I will see that your advertisements are distributed throughout Solution Nine accordingly.
End of cutscene.

Speak with Tiisol Ja.

Optional dialogue
Thank you for assisting us. It is my sincere hope that Alexandrians come to appreciate the delicacy of our tacos.
Mrrrow, mrrrow!
Start of cutscene.
Well, well! I'd say we're off to a splendid start.
Haha, I sense a kindred spirit in this one─an adorable bundle of taco love!
I say we welcome little Taquito to the team for as long as she wishes to help.
After all, she's the one who has set our journey into motion!
Let's learn from our feline friend and stir up as much intrigue as possible in Alexandria. I want everyone captivated by Aunt Tii's Tacos!
Which brings us to preparing advertisements. In Tuliyollal, we lift our voices to kindle growing reputation...but I suppose they do things differently in Solution Nine?
They have a perchant for flashy screens.
Advertisements are part of the natural landscape.
Then we'll need something that catches the eye. Something delicious. Something that screams...“TACOS!”
Perhaps some signs fashioned after my stall here? Whatever you can contribute will be much appreciated.
If you're of a mind to make the full signs, Bol Javaw's the one to talk to. He always has shiny trinkets on hand!
This feels like the start of something magical, Forename. Here's to a happy partnership and dreams fulfilled!
Materials necessary to craft the collectables Tiisol Ja seeks may be purchased from Bol Javaw in Tuliyollal.
End of cutscene.
