Madam Purl | Fantasy Life (3DS)

Madam PurlI came to Castele from Port Puerto to train young would-be Tailors in this, the most important of crafts. Nimble fingers are a plus in tailoring, but you need to have a flexible attitude as well. As I always say, skills can be learned, but you've got to be born with a good heart!

Madam PurlPort Puerto fashion is finally coming into style in Castele. And it's about time! Let me tell you—it tickles me pink to see folks wearing my original designs from back in the day!

Madam PurlSome folks think tailoring is a simple chore. All you need is a needle and thread, they say! But that's just poppycock. Tailoring is not for the weak of heart! Just think about it. We spend hours foraging for prime materials... And I know I've battled a ferocious beast or two in the pursuit of some rare items! But it's all worth it once you take that material home and create a beautiful piece of fashion!

Madam PurlOh my, I'm so busy! So terribly, terribly busy!

Madam PurlWhenever you find yourself challenged by a particular task, imagine one thing... Just picture the needle and scissors as an extension of your own fingers! I know it sounds odd, but I believe you must be at one with your tools to succeed at crafting!

Madam PurlDexterity...Intelligence...Focus. The three main traits of all the best Tailors! Of course, the best way to boost your brain is to eat lots of fresh fish and vegetables!

Madam PurlIt's funny—once you've made an item a few times, you'll find you know the pattern by heart! That's definitely the key to memorizing things— repetition! Once you've memorized a pattern, you can make the item in batches. Of course, it's not like you're going to level up very quickly if you just make batch items... But it's a real Lifesaver if you're in a rush!

Madam PurlThey say a stitch in time saves nine...but I always say memorizing a pattern saves time! I must know about a million patterns by heart. Best way to make lots of everyday materials. Sometimes the simplest materials work best for the most complicated patterns. So it's always a good idea to be properly stocked up on basic materials!

Madam PurlI must say, I think you've been a good influence on Taylor. Both of her parents are famous clothing designers, you know. Don't have much spare time, those two... I know Taylor was lonely growing up like that. But she really seems to have come out of her shell since you arrived on the scene! And you've certainly inspired Chic to take things a little more easy—which is a good thing! He used to spend his days hunched over his sewing machine...but he's a bit more relaxed now. The best Tailors know how to infuse their work with a little fun. You can't stress over clothes!

Madam PurlTaylor is lucky to have friends like you and that nice girl Zippy. But I'm a bit worried about Chic looking after my house in Port Puerto all by himself. Would you be a doll and check on him the next time you're in Port Puerto?

Madam PurlCongratulations on reaching Expert rank, dear. I couldn't be more proud! Now that I think about it, I suppose I should give you a challenge, shouldn't I? Hmm. I've got it! Here's an ambitious task for you! What say you sew me up a traditional-set outfit from my hometown? I realize you may not be a fan of old-fashioned clothes... So you should feel free to add any additional materials. To give it your own flavor!

Madam PurlClothes made from Cashmere are no ordinary items. They're for luxury occasions, like banquets. Put extra care into your work when you're crafting an item like that. Your customers will take notice!

Madam PurlMaster rank, indeed! I'm so proud of you, dear. Now that you're a Master, you can monogram the items of clothing you make. That way, you can get your name out there. Really create your own personal brand, you know? And if you slap your name on an item, your customers know you stand behind your work! Well, here's a present for you, just to say congratulations.

Madam PurlNow that you're a Master, you can use a wider range of materials. Exciting, isn't it?

Madam PurlWell, will you look at what we have here! It's a Hero-ranked Tailor! Just in case you didn't realize it, I'm talking about YOU, silly! Now that you're a Hero, I think it's time you face one final challenge from your Master. That'd be me, of course. Hee hee! How about making some royal soft furnishings? Have a go at a Royal Rug or some Royal Curtains.

Madam Purl"Royal," of course, all boils down to "something snazzy that's fit for the king!" Something that would fit nicely in his chamber with his other fine furnishings. Finding the right materials won't be easy... but I know you can handle it! See how fancy you can get with this assignment, won't you?

Madam PurlYou've reached the Legend rank! Well done, you! I've been hearing things about you, you know. All good things! Things like, you're a hard worker. And you've been kind to Taylor and Chic too! Don't you ever go changing on me! The world needs more Tailors like you, dear.

Madam PurlI know you're a Legend now...but don't you go changing a single thing about yourself, hear me?

Madam PurlHello, dear. You seem to be bursting at the seams with happiness! That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you're designing clothes for the gods now, would it? Yes, I heard all about that on the rumor mill. Sounds like a load of silliness to me! But can you just imagine if you really could design such clothes? Why, you'd be unstoppable! Either way, it just makes me happy to see you with such a glow about you. Here's a gift for you!

Madam PurlSometimes you're faced with a challenge that seems somewhat daunting. But remember this: you can handle anything the world throws at you! That's because you're a Tailor, and a true Tailor knows no fear. Go forth and conquer, dear!

Madam PurlMy word! You've reached the Creator rank. I-I-I just don't know what to say! You've done so well for yourself. Feels like it was only yesterday you came knocking at my door... You were so *sob* bright eyed and *sob* bushy tailed! Like a happy little squirrel, you were. A squirrel who could sew. A squirrel with opposable thumbs. Oh, listen to me babble on. Congratulations!

Madam PurlI worry about you sometimes, dear. Too much tailoring can really toughen up your hands! I know, I know. You're a Creator-ranked Tailor, and I shouldn't be so worried about you. But no matter how high in the tailoring world you get, I'll always keep an eye out for you!

Madam PurlIt looks like you've been busy. Let me take a gander at your work.

Madam PurlOh dear. It looks like you haven't done much tailoring at all! Why don't you come back later when you have a little bit more to show for yourself?

Madam PurlCongratulations, Apprentice [Player]! You're not quite a household name yet, but I can tell you're going to be big in the fashion world!

Madam PurlCongratulations, Adept [Player]! You're building a name for yourself, I see. Well, keep up the good work! I expect great things from you!

Madam PurlCongratulations, Expert [Player]! I keep seeing your creations in store windows. Must feel pretty nice!

Madam PurlCongratulations, Master [Player]! You've been working your fingers to the bone. How about taking a break? I'd like to throw you a little party—you know, to celebrate all of your grand achievements!

Madam PurlCongratulations, Hero [Player]! Now that I think about it, there aren't enough Heroes in the Tailor folklore. We don't do it for the glory, after all! We do it because we love seeing people wear our designs. But you obviously know all that, dear. By the way, it seems the king would like to have a word with you! You'd better pop off to the castle and report to him as a Hero for the first time! Ooh, it's so exciting—you ranking up to Hero, rubbing elbows with the royal family... Things sure have changed since you came to town! Not to get all emotional on you, but *sob!* I certainly am proud to call you my student.

Madam PurlCongratulations, Legendary [Player]! "Legend." That word feels so strange in my mouth! It makes you sound like some mythical Tailor from days past... But in reality, your designs are the most modern and cutting edge on the market today! Enough about that. You're due at the castle, dear! The king wants to have a word with you. Apparently he has a special gift for you. Some sort of reward for reaching the Legend rank! Off you go now. I simply can't wait to see what items you'll craft as a Legendary Tailor!

Madam PurlMy little Fledgling... You've quite a way to go!

Madam PurlMy little Apprentice... Keep your nose to the grindstone, my dear. You'll do great things!

Madam PurlSuch an adept Adept Tailor, hee hee... You're really making a name for yourself now!

Madam PurlMy pupil—an Expert Tailor! Why, it just about takes my breath away. Keep on stitching, dear!

Madam PurlMy Master Tailor! You are a true artist now!

Madam PurlHave you reported to the king yet, dear? I do believe he said he has a gift for you!

Madam PurlHave you been to see the king, dear? I think he was expecting you to report to him. Just because you're a Legendary Tailor now doesn't mean you can forget your manners!

Madam Purl[Player], my dear. How can I help you today? [Choice: Report / Chat / Forget it]

Madam Purl[Player], my dear. Working through the night, are we? How can I help you? [Choice: Report / Chat / Forget it]

Madam PurlSeems like you're taking a bit of a break from tailoring. In that case, I can't really help you...

Madam Purl[Player], would you be a doll and take a look at this pattern for me? It's for a [Name 2], and it's a real finger twister! Spoolie's mother passed this pattern down to him. Apparently, generations of Plushlings have sewn it! I tried to make it for Spoolie once, but I'm afraid I just made a mess of it. But since you've already reached the Creator rank, I'm sure you would do a bang-up job of it! What do you say, dearie? Will you make it for me? No need to decide right now! Just think on it...

Madam Purl[Player], my dear. How can I help you today? [Choice: Special Request / Chat / Forget it]

Madam PurlSo...you want to try to make the [Name 2]? [Choice: ,,I'll give it a shot! / Nope]

Madam PurlOh, thank you, [Player]! Now, the materials for the [Name 2] can all be found on Terra Nimbus. You can get some Pastel Cotton from the monster called Cottonne. As for the Flower Buttons, you can find those by the waterfront. Of course, if you're looking for some company, I could certainly join you! Maybe it's your plucky attitude or a change in the air, but I feel it's high time I had an adventure! Either way, let's do our best to make a fine [Name 2] for Spoolie!

Madam PurlI see. Well, that's certainly a shame! Let me know if you change your mind, dear.

Madam PurlWhy, it's practically perfect! Never mind the "practically"—it IS perfect! Thank you, [Player]. Spoolie will be thrilled!

Madam PurlHmm, I wonder if there's anything that would do for a reward... Oh, I know—how about these? I found them wrapped in Spoolie's blankie... Three strange coins—never seen anything like them. They're certainly very pretty!

Madam PurlGive me a shout next time you feel like jaunting off to Terra Nimbus! I'm no spring chicken, but I'll do my best to keep up with you!

Madam PurlYou can get Pastel Cotton from the monster called Cottonne. Flower Buttons can be found near water. It's as easy as that! Together we can make a fine [Name 2] for Spoolie!

Madam PurlHow's it going with the [Name 2]? Don't tell me—you want to quit? [Choice: Yes, please / $$I'm not done yet!]

Madam PurlYou can get Pastel Cotton from the monster called Cottonne. Flower Buttons can be found near water. It's as easy as that! Together we can make a fine [Name 2] for Spoolie!

Madam PurlDon't think you need to prove anything to me, dear. I know you're an excellent Tailor! No one will judge you if you decide to quit. You can always try again later!

Madam PurlOne last pattern for you, dear... A lovely plushie! The materials aren't easy to find, but I know a dedicated Tailor like you won't be put off by that.
