    Yes ←
    No
  • Exaggerated: "Would you like to hear all of that again, as in, listen to all the information I presented to you in the latest conversation we just had one more time? Hoot hoot hoooooot!"
    YES! AFFIRMATIVE! DOITDOITDOIT!! ←
    No
  • Downplayed: "Hear everything again?"
    Yes, but don't ask again
    No ←
  • Justified: "This is important information. Hoot! Once I finish relaying all of it to you, I will have to make sure you heard and understood everything."
  • Inverted:
    • "This is what happened. Hoot!"
    Thanks, you can go now
    • "Could you repeat everything you just told me? Hoot!"
    Yes ←
    No
  • Subverted: "Would you like to hear all of that again? Just kidding! I can tell you listened intently to everything I just said. Hoot!"
  • Double Subverted: "Oh, so you have returned! Hoot! Having some difficult remembering what I said a while ago, I presume. So, do you want to hear everything again? Hoot!"

    • "Would you like to hear all of that again? Haha, that's just a mere formality. Hoot! I will repeat everything I just said whether you like it or not. Hoot!"
    Fuck you ←
    • *Sigh* "This is already the 12th time you ask me to repeat all of this. Hoot! Even I am starting to get tired of myself. Next time, just bring a recorder. Hoot!"
  • Zigzagged: "My apologies, but you are doing so well on your quest that I do not see the purpose of repeating myself. Hoot! Maybe if you start having more difficulty with later challenges, I will change my mind."
  • Averted: "Hoot hoot!"note 
  • Enforced: "Hoot! The godly entities known as 'The Developers' created me in order to guide you, the chosen hero, on your quest. Hoot! As they do not expect one to assimilate every piece of information in one go, I was instructed to allow the information provided by myself to be repeated as many times as you desire. Hoot!"
  • Lampshaded: "Hoot! Maybe it would have been more appropriate if I were a parrot? Squawk!"
  • Invoked: "You are just a child, so it would be understandable if you had trouble grasping at everything I just told you. Would you like to hear all of that again? Hoot!"
    Yes ←
    No
  • Exploited: "In order to relay this information once more, I will have to ask for a small fee of 5 gold coins. So, would you like to hear all of that again? Hoot!"
    Yes (5G) ←
    No
  • Defied: "You might be just a child, but you are also the chosen hero, so I will not treat you like an infant. Hoot!"
  • Deconstructed: "Hoot! Are you out of your mind!? I am not repeating that again. The world is dying and time is precious! Hurry up! Hoot!"
  • Reconstructed: "Wait, wait, hoot! On second thought, I might have been too hasty. Time may be scarce, but I can't afford you to make mistakes, so pay close attention this time. Hoot!"
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
