Jack (Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town)

"'Come to think of it, this is the first time I've talked to a customer about this.'"

Jack (ジャック) is a lackadaisical lad who helps out at his family's general store... but he's usually too busy thinking about ways to help his hometown grow. His little sister, Cindy, doesn't know what to do with him, but he's too good-natured to stay mad at.

Schedule
NPC times may vary slightly depending on the NPC's proximity to the Player when the Player enters or exit a building, or where and when the Player loads their save file.

 * INTROC=I'm Jack, your friendly neighborhood general of general store generalities! ...Okay, that flopped. I'm Jack. Nice to meetcha.


 * GEN1=My grandparents always wanna eat old-fashioned cooking, but I'm more of a modern cuisine kinda guy.
 * GEN2=If either Cindy or I have to inherit the general store, I'd rather it be Cindy, honestly. She's better suited to handling customers than I am.
 * GEN3=The other day, I accidentally called Gloria "Mom". I was so embarrassed...
 * GEN4=I used to catch bugs around here when I was a kid. Y'know, like rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles. I hardly see any these days, though.
 * GEN5=Cindy can be kinda cheeky sometimes. But even though she's always giving me grief, she can be pretty cute.


 * HEART1=I'm usually not doing much of anything, so talk to me whenever.
 * HEART3=I'm sure it's rough running that farm, but hang in there.
 * HEART5=What's up?
 * HEART7=What's up? You look like you're in a good mood.
 * HEART8=Fun fact: I always wanted to star in an action movie. Everyone always laughs when I say that, though.
 * HEART9=Lemme know if you find a good movie. I'm always on the hunt.
 * HEART10=Our tastes in music are pretty similar, huh?


 * DATE1=Talking with you is the best.

 * MARRY3=Thanks for always being by my side.


 * SUN=The weather sure is nice today. It's like the sky stretches on into infinity.
 * RAIN=We don't get many customers on rainy days. Makes my job easier, at least.
 * SNOW=I'm not a big fan of the cold, but I always get excited when it snows.
 * TYPH=It's a full-on tempest. Might be a good time to sell teapots! ...Okay, that was a bad joke.
 * TYPHAFT=We obviously didn't get any customers yesterday because of the typhoon.
 * BLIZ=We've got a snowstorm on our hands. Maybe we could sell some shovels?
 * BLIZAFT=I thought we'd get more snow piled up. Oh well.

 * SUM=Whenever summer comes around, I'm immediately exhausted. The heat is killer.
 * AUT=Ahhh, the bittersweet sight of falling leaves. I love it.

 * AFTG=Hey. What're you up to today?
 * AFTL=Man, the afternoon goes on forever.
 * EVEG=Hey. You're out pretty late.

 * BDAYMORE1=Hey, . Happy Birthday. Today's the day, right?
 * BDAYMORE2=You're the main character today, . The main character of what, you ask?
 * BDAYMORE3=Uhhh... I'm not really sure. The main character of some grand tale of adventure and intrigue, probably.


 * DEVLV1=If the town gets busier, we'll get more customers too. I kinda hate being busy, though.
 * DEVLV2=Olive Town's gonna keep on growing. If it were a person, it'd be the type that succeeds via sheer determination—just like me.
 * DEVLV3=We got a beauty salon, huh? Can't say I see myself stopping by, but I'm happy for those who care.
 * DEVLV4=Mom told me to go out and advertise for our store, but what does she expect me to do? Spin a sign or something?

 * DEVLV6=Maybe I'll be a tourist myself one day. Seems like fun.
 * DEVLV7=I decided to just go for it and open up a stall, but I wonder if I'll be able to sell anything.
 * DEVLV8=We've been getting more customers recently. I guess being busy isn't so bad.
 * DEVLV9=The town hall's fancy now! Did you notice?!
 * DEVLV10=I gotta brush up on my foreign languages so I can help customers who come from abroad.


 * WED=How's your new way of life treating you? Everything going well?
 * CHILDBORN=I almost can't imagine you as a parent.
 * CHILDCRAWL=Children are a real handful, huh? Don't hesitate to ask for help if you're in over your head.
 * CHILDGROWN=I saw  the other day. He/She sure has gotten big.
 * CHARA=Jack
 * CHARAWED=Our new life together's finally begun.
 * CHARABORN=Maybe it's just my imagination, but I swear  said "Daddy" this morning.
 * CHARACRAWL= is an energetic kid, just like you. No, wait, maybe that's more like me?
 * CHARAGROWN=Seeing  brings back fond memories of my childhood.


 * EGGB=The Egg Hunt's around the corner. Cindy's looking forward to it.
 * EGGD=My egg senses are super sharp. Figured the least I could do was throw Cindy a bone with a few hints.
 * EGGA=Maybe we should sell painted eggs as souvenirs.


 * PETB=The Pet Derby is right around the corner! Can’t wait to get this pet party started!
 * PETD=It feels kinda weird for someone my age to be cheering for pets. But hey, if we’re all having fun, then what does it matter?
 * PETA=It was really inspiring watching the pets give it their all. We could learn a lot from them.
 * PETW=Congrats on winning the derby! The pets were awesome, sure, but so were you!


 * JAMB=We’re getting around to Summer Jamboree time. I never win, but I like how amped up everyone gets.
 * JAMD=Getting some exercise is nice every once in a while.
 * JAMA=The jamboree was a blast, huh? Except now I’m sore in places I never knew could hurt…
 * JAMW=Congrats on taking home the gold in the jamboree! That was electrifying to watch!


 * FIREB=It's almost time for the Fireworks Display. It's gonna be awesome, obviously.
 * FIRED=You can't have summer without fireworks. Man, I'm practically vibrating outta my shell in anticipation.
 * FIREA=Now that's what I call a fireworks display. The roar of the blasts was definitely the best part.


 * MUSHB=It's the time of year for the Mushroom Hunt. Man, nothing says "autumn" more than mushrooms.
 * MUSHD=Mushrooms to the left of me, fungi to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle of toadstool heaven.
 * MUSHA=The Mushroom Hunt was a FUN-gus time! Aha... In fact, I'd say it was even MOREL fun than last year's!
 * MUSHW=What are you, the monarch of mushrooms? It's honestly impressive!


 * SPIRB=For some reason, I feel like I gotta purify myself for the Spirit Festival.
 * SPIRD=Man, there's nothing more soothing than this.
 * SPIRA=How'd you like the Spirit Festival? Not bad, right?


 * FISHB=Emilio's been all excited because the Fishing Tournament's coming up.
 * FISHD=Even if I can't hack it, I'm happy as long as the person I'm cheering on wins.
 * FISHA=My favorite parts of fishing are when the line first sinks into the water and when the fish gets yanked out.
 * FISHW=Hey, congrats! You gotta teach me all your fishing hacks sometime.


 * SNOWB=Before long, it'll be time for the Snowshine Celebration. Cindy's got a whole bunch of ideas for our family sculpture.
 * SNOWD=It's so c-c-cold. We gotta let loose and shake off these winter doldrums!
 * SNOWA=Everyone's always really busy preparing for the new year after the Snowshine Celebration's over.


 * GEN6=I'm never sure what to stock up on for our store. It's important to get stuff that sells well, but I can't skimp on the necessities, either.
 * GEN7=My grandma's the one who founded the general store, and Mom's the second generation. Our business has more history than you might think!
 * GEN8=Blaire loves movies too, but her tastes and mine are polar opposites. She's into rom-coms and stuff.
 * GEN9=Damon and Lars' taste in music is awesome, even if all the old people hate it because it's loud. It's WAY more intense than anything I've ever listened to.
 * GEN10=If this town had a famous souvenir, I bet tourists would come running to get one. Any ideas on what we could sell, ?


 * NEWH1A=You're trying to rebuild that farm, huh? Good luck. We're all counting on you.
 * NEWH1B=My family runs the general store. We sell seeds, materials, and, uh...a little bit of everything, really. Come on by if you need anything.
 * NEWH2A=How's the farm thing going? If you go too hard at it, you're gonna burn out real fast. Take your time and don't sweat the small stuff.
 * NEWH2B=If I could watch movies while I was at work, I would be one happy camper... Not that that'll ever happen, but still. Nice to dream.
 * NEWH3A=You, uh...must really respect your grandpa, huh? I mean, that's cool and all, but it's wild to me that you'd just take on the whole dang farm like that.
 * NEWH3B=D'you ever pick up any weird treasures on the farm? I'm into odd stuff like that, actually. I've got a secret collection going.
 * NEWH4A=You run around town like a bear getting ready to hibernate. Are you really that busy all the time? We're like complete opposites.
 * NEWH4B=Damon's always grousing about how he doesn't want to take over the animal shop, but honestly? I think he'd be awesome at it.
 * NEWH5A=Hey, . Wanna hang with me for a while? Forcing yourself to be productive all the time's no good for the noggin, y'know.
 * NEWH5B=If movies are your thing, I'm the guy to talk to around here. It's one of my few hobbies, so I can recommend you some good ones.
 * NEWH6A=I think chatting with you is my new favorite way to kill time. We should do it more often. And I don't say that to everyone, trust me!
 * NEWH6B=Pudding's the best dang snack in the world. Cindy says I should grow up and try better desserts, but I'm not gonna deny pudding the praise it deserves!
 * NEWH7A=Hey, are you free to drop by sometime? My mom baked a cake this morning and she was like, "'s GOT to try this!"
 * NEWH7B=I was born and raised in Olive Town, so of course I love everything about living here. That's why I want more people to know about it.
 * NEWH8A=I used to think that a fun, easy life would be way more fulfilling than anything hard work could give me. But these days? I'm not so sure about that...
 * NEWH8B=Mom picks out all the accessories we've got on sale. She's got pretty good taste, right?
 * NEWH9A=Every day used to be so...blah. But since you rolled into town, life's been a little more unpredictable. In the good way, obviously.
 * NEWH9B=You ever have chuka soba? It's been one of my favorites ever since I had it in the city one time, but it's hard to get around here.
 * NEWH10A=Hanging out with you is awesome. You're seriously the best friend a guy could have, so...here's looking at you, .
 * NEWH10B=I've never really given my life much thought before, but since I met you, I'm always excited to find out what surprises the next day'll bring.


 * NEWDATE6A=Hold up. We're really, uh...dating, right? S-Sorry, I don't think reality's hit me yet. It's like it's too good to be true.
 * NEWDATE6B=I always wanted to be together with you like this. So, uh, thanks, ...for making my silly dreams come true.
 * NEWDATE7A=Today's right up there on my list of best days ever, 'cause I get to see your cute, smiling face. What d'you wanna talk about today?
 * NEWDATE7B=Whenever I think about you, I get this dumb smile on my face, no matter what I'm doing. I must look like such a weirdo.
 * NEWDATE8A=You can do anything you put your mind to, which is impressive on too many levels to count. I'm really proud to be yours, .
 * NEWDATE8B=Cindy won't stop asking me about how things are going with you. She's too precocious for her own good, that kid.
 * NEWDATE9A=I was thinking, it'd be kinda cool if we made some merch for the farm. I bet they'd sell like hotcakes!
 * NEWDATE9B=Want to go somewhere? Doesn't matter where. ...Hey, I know! Why don't we set off on an epic journey across the world?
 * NEWDATE10A=I want to be with you forever. I know I'm not much, but I'm gonna make sure my love for you is the brightest and best thing in your life.
 * NEWDATE10B=You're such a can-do person that sometimes I wonder if I'm the right guy for you. I've gotta kick it up a notch if I want to keep up.


 * NEWMARRY10A=Feels like I've been waiting forever for this. From here on out, we'll always be together, so I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth!
 * NEWMARRY10B=Everyone says marriage is like a new beginning. It doesn't seem like anything's changed, but...something must have, right?
 * NEWMARRY11A=How am I supposed to focus on work when being with you is way better? ...No, I know, I promise I'll get all my work done.
 * NEWMARRY11B=When Dad died, Mom was...well, she was so broken up I can hardly describe it. I think I understand a little of what she was going through now, though.
 * NEWMARRY12A=I know I'm overthinking it, but...sometimes I worry about what I'd do if you ever passed away suddenly like my dad. The thought kinda terrifies me...
 * NEWMARRY12B=I never thought customer service would be my thing, but it's actually pretty fun. You never know until you try, I guess.
 * NEWMARRY13A=Farm life's given me a lot more to do, but there's a ton of variety, which is pretty cool.
 * NEWMARRY13B=Grandpa and Grandma can be almost sickeningly sweet with how much they love each other. D'you think we'll ever get to that level?
 * NEWMARRY14A=Man, being married to you makes every day feel like a gift. Listen, I know that's corny, but it's true! Like, is it even legal to be this happy?
 * NEWMARRY14B=I love looking out at your fields. It's like, all the fruits of your labor are right there. Or, well, vegetables. You know what I mean.
 * NEWMARRY15A=You better live a long, healthy life, . I don't wanna imagine you going anywhere without me.
 * NEWMARRY15B=I always thought doing things with all your heart would just wear you down. But I love you with all my heart, and that feels pretty great, actually.


 * MORNGNEW=You're an early bird, huh? For me, mornings are downright evil... You gotta teach me your ways.
 * AFTGNEW=Do you ever get time to take a break? Don't tell me you've been working since you woke up this morning.
 * EVEGNEW=Well, that's a wrap on today. Try not to stay up too late, . Farmers like you gotta be up at the crack of dawn.
 * MORNLNEW=How come the world's all about early risers, anyway? Shaking off sleepiness isn't easy, you know!
 * AFTLNEW=I have to get back to work. If I slack off any more, Cindy's gonna be on my case about it. Again.
 * EVELNEW=Even if it bites you in the ol' rear the next day, staying up late can be pretty fun. Want to pull an all-nighter with me sometime?


 * MORNGDATE=Morning, <Player>. Did you have breakfast yet? You gotta remind yourself to eat, even when you're busy.
 * AFTGDATE=Wait, did you come here just to see me? Aw, geez, you're too good to me, <Player>.
 * EVEGDATE=Watch where you're going when you head back. It's hard to see at night. If you need me to walk you home, I'd be game for it.
 * MORNLDATE=Okay, so fun fact? I actually started forcing myself to wake up early just so I could see you. I wanted your face to be the first one I saw.
 * AFTLDATE=Whenever I talk to you, I suddenly feel wide awake. Probably 'cause my heart starts running a mile a minute...
 * EVELDATE=Every night before I fall asleep, I end up hoping I'll dream about you. Let's meet up in our dreams tonight, too, okay?


 * MORNGMARRY=Morning, <Player>. Seeing your face wakes me right up. I can tell I've got another good day ahead of me!
 * AFTGMARRY=How's work going? Let me know if I can help with anything and I'll come running.
 * EVEGMARRY=Now that you're finally done with work for the day, try to forget about all that and relax. Time spent hanging out with you is my favorite, after all.
 * MORNLMARRY=Matching your lifestyle has been pretty good for me, I think. Sticking to a schedule really helps.
 * AFTLMARRY=Whenever I'm free, my thoughts wander to you and I stop everything I'm doing. I try to make sure I'm not doing anything dangerous at the time. Usually.
 * EVELMARRY=Wanna stay up late with me tonight? Maybe it's just me, but there's something thrilling about being the only ones awake in the dead of night.


 * SKILLLOG=I hear you can cut down trees faster than a lightning bolt. Now THAT'S something I wanna see.
 * SKILLREAP=You're like a grass-cutting champ, right? Okay, cool. If anyone ever asks me to mow their lawn, I'll come find you.
 * SKILLMINE=The gems you excavate get put on sale at our shop. They're all so high quality that they sell in a flash, so thanks for the business.
 * SKILLDRAIN=They say no one in town can beat you when it comes to draining ponds. How do you even get good at that? Daily bucket training?
 * SKILLFISH=Word on the street is that you're an ace angler. If you fish up one of those big Guardian guys, you gotta show me, okay?
 * SKILLFIELD=Norman's always complimenting your crops, and I can see why. Every one I've tasted is pretty darn good.
 * SKILLORCH=Cindy loves it whenever Mom buys fruits from your farm. Keep up the good work.
 * SKILLCULT=I had a mushroom from the farm the other day, and I was shocked. I didn't realize mushrooms could even taste that good.
 * SKILLBEE=The whole town's talking about how sweet the honey from your farm is. Maybe we should start selling that at our shop, too.
 * SKILLCARE=I can tell you take great care of the animals on your farm. They always look so chilled out... I'm honestly kinda jealous of them.
 * SKILLCOOK=Everyone's talking about what a master chef you are. I bet if you opened up a restaurant, customers would start swarming into town!
 * SKILLCOMM=You're a pretty good talker, you know that? I bet you'd be even better at customer service than me. Want to cover my shift for a day? Haha.


 * 2NDGIFT=Sorry, but we have this rule here where we can only take one present a day. I know, weird, right? Any more, and we'd be stunned silly with joy!
 * CONFNONE=Hey, we sell those pendants at our store, too! Did you buy it from us? Haha, nice, thanks for the business!
 * PROPNONE=Oh, hey! Fun fact about blue feathers: that coloring is 100% natural, no dyes or anything. It's super pretty, right?
 * MISSEVENT=I'm flattered and all, but I dunno how I feel yet. Maybe I just need a little kick to get me the rest of the way.
 * DURFEST=Sorry, but maaaybe not today. I think we'd be a little too overwhelmed if we talked about that now. Ask me again another day, okay?
 * STILLTENT=Oh, I totally agree that we should get married, but your home is, uh...kind of small? We're gonna need a bigger house!
 * TUTORIAL=
