Story

  • The opening cinematic involves Dorne trying to steer Roddick away from Millie (as an attempt to have Dorne be more romantically involved with her). Unfortunately for him, he ends up describing her as a mess right as she's walking inside their station and behind his back. Cue a hard punch on the back of his head.
  • After protecting their home from bandits, Millie and Dorne are both annoyed that Roddick was rewarded his favorite steak dish by a fan, but they get nothing in return.
  • The three Runes at the Purgatorium are astral beings who behave cordial and threatening...except the Yellow Rune, who has "picked bad habits" from people and talks like a stereotypical girl.
  • Ilia's not-so subtle jealousy towards Ronyx being around Mavelle. When she first gets to hear about Mavelle through Millie gushing over how beautiful she is, Ilia calmly smiles and walks out of the inn...stomping the ground hard as she does.
  • Once the team reunites with Ronyx, he has a meeting with them at the bar. Needless to say, half of them end up passed out of the floor (Millie included, because her safe-looking drink was too much for her). Talking to him alone has him saying that he'll never have another meeting at a bar ever again.
  • The first thing Dorne had to say after being cured is to ask for his music box back from Millie. He naturally gets rejected.
  • Upon rescuing the kidnapped Millie and others, Welch boasts that she could have easily broken out of their cell, but she wanted Roddick to get all the glory. Cue Roddick having squiggles over his head.

Private Actions

  • Roddick tells Ilia the story of how Millie thought a carrier cat didn't work like a carrier pigeon, and both of them laugh over her loopy ideas. Cue a sudden cut all the way to Silvalant where Millie gets the feeling someone is talking about her.
  • Cyuss is impressed that all the male-oriented Astral soldiers have great respect towards Phia, until he and Roddick overhear two soldiers revealing the real reason why they do so; they all are masochists and wish that Phia will berate them personally, much to Cyuss's dismay.
  • Ashlay is annoyed for not understanding what a virtual role-playing game is, being criticized for his age by the lady explaining it to him which he denies. He counters by complaining about "young'uns" not respecting their elders, which the lady points out as something an old guy like him would say.
  • At Haute, Ashlay berates the shady weapon seller that sells sword knock-offs, though Roddick starts getting worried about the fact that Ashlay would think less of him if he knew Roddick was about to buy from the seller and be tricked by his scams.
  • A two-part private event where Ilia tells Millie the story of Cinderella... in particular, the Brothers Grimm version- which reduces her to tears of fear (and also freaking out the skill guild workers listening in). This also proceeds to scare Roddick, who in another Private event, has a nightmare that he's Cinder-Roddick, complete with Ilia as the stepmother, Millie as the Fairy Godmother, the rest of the female party members as the stepsisters, and Ronyx as Prince Charming. When he wakes up to find a worried Millie standing over him, he freaks out and runs away.
    Roddick: The Fairy Godmother?! Noooooooooo!!!
  • Should Roddick get earrings for Ilia, Millie will learn about them and get mad at Roddick for it.
  • Ronyx gains a strange fascination over Roakians' tails and asks Roddick if he could hold his tail, earning a scolding from Roddick. Then Ronyx says Millie didn't complain when she let him touch hers.
  • Welch spills a love potion on Roddick that makes everyone fall in love with him.
  • Ilia and Welch do not get along at all. They have multiple scenes with Welch making fun of Ilia being easy to tease and her older age, while Ilia hurls insults towards Welch about her young age and being a brat, which culminate in both of them trying to see who can charm the most men. The results when the party heads out? They both are down in the slumps, which is rather obvious what happened.
  • The entire party shipping Ronyx and Ilia.
  • Ioshua's misfortune in trying to stay safe from Pericci, who stalks him out of nowhere when he least expects it because she wants to eat him. Becomes even funnier after the fourth game shows that his aunt had the same problem.
  • The Private Actions on feline martial arts. Ilia gets a bit weirded out when she sees Cyuss joining in.
  • Some of the character interactions during the cats vs. dogs debate.
    • T'Nique gushes about how wolves are better than cats and dogs. Roddick just writes it off as siding with dogs before quietly leaving the area.
    • Ashlay surprises Roddick when he tells him he prefers cats. Roddick assumed Ashlay was a dog person due to his warrior archetype. To his surprise, Ashlay gets pissed off at the assumption as well as to Roddick’s dog preference as he recalled a humiliating experience with a dog.
    • Erys says she likes dogs better, which Roddick was happy about, until she says the reason why is because "they look adorable when she burns them to a crisp", naturally freaking him out.
