Relationships

Relationships is the system that allows to raise friendship level with certain NPCs. Every new level of relationship gives an extra reward (sometimes unique) and a piece of story part, that character sends you by messages.

To start relationships, you should send First Impression to torimori you like. You can do that in Chibitori Post Office location by writing a command Gift First Impression to NPC_name (e.g. Gift First Impression to Tori Assistant)

Relationship Level

After First Impression gifted - a status will be Stranger.
There are 5 levels of friendship, each requires certain amount of gift points to gain a new level.

• Stranger (next: 0/30)
• Ally (next: 0/70)
• Friend (next: 0/100)
• Best Friend (next: 0/200)
• Soul Mate (next: 0/100000)

After level up - status will be changed for the next one, and rel points will be nullified. So, for Ally status you should get 30 points, for Friend - 100 points total, for Best Friend - 200, and for Soul Mate status, you should get 400 relationship points in total.

Tactics

Universal items that are in Favorite category (+10 points) - usually hard to obtain. (Like Red Hearts that you can get from events rarely) So, usually you are focused on NPC Preferences and their own favorite/love items, or universal Like/Pretty items that are easier to find.

If you will send Favorite items every day - you'll reach Soul Mate status for 34 days; Love items - 50 days, Like items - 80 days, and Pretty items - 134 days. It's not really resultative to send Neutral items, unless you have nothing else to gift.

Gift Points

Each item has their own "gift power". Most of items are Universal and give the same amount of points to any NPC. However, there are also some exceptions. Depends on NPC and their preferences, certain items will give more or less points than usual.

Universal

Favorite (12 points)
Love (8 points)
Like (5 points)		Any Plush item
Pretty (3 points)	Any Flower item (except for Rainbow Flower)	Any Candy item (except for Seasonal Candies)	Any Chockin Shape
Neutral (1 point)	Seasonal Candies	Anything Else

NPC available for Friendship

Tori Assistant

Tori Assistant

Tori Assistant is very first one and also popular one who you can get friends. He is a hard-worker tori that's always staying positive and cute, but actually worries that he misses something important. He likes plushes and always tries to do his best!

Tactics

Tori Assistant will happily take any Plush items that can be found in Chests with 20% chance (plushy charms). So, buy a bunch of shovels, dig for some chests in location with higher chance to get this type of chest (depends on the season), and open them with keys.

In Nursery - you can hatch Eggs with a Flower to get Pink Bow (30%). It also drops Pinkish Flowers that are in universal "Like" category, so they are helpful for your feauture relationships.

In addition - you can explore/art explore Meadows to get Pom Fruits (35%).

One Pom Fruit gives you x2 Cotton that's equal to x4 Cotton Thread, so, 2,5 of Pom Fruit will be equal to x1 Cotton Fabric (requires x10 Cotton Thread). Meadows are also useful location that gives you flowers too. If you want to spend your flowers for someone else - you can slowly up friendship level by gifting Cotton Threads (+3).

Preferences

Favorite (12 points)	Any Plush item
Love (8 points)
Like (5 points)	(no changes)
Pretty (3 points)
Neutral (1 point)	Any Chockin Shape

Messages

Stranger

Item: x5 Cotton

Message:

Usually, I only deliver something to others, but today, a little white tori delivered something to me...

It was your message! ^^ And it made me happy! So, ummm... Hello!! Actually, I have no idea what to write in my first message! I... I'm even not sure what to say. Usually people only ask me to do something, not to speak with them... soo I'm not very good speaker, I guess, but, I'm a good learner! And I'm really, really touched and I'll try my bests to make a good message for you too!! I guess, I should put something with letter, so... here is not too much, but I've heard, it can be very useful, maybe you need it? At least, I think, it looks lovely! Hope you like it! See ya and hope to hear you soon again! ^^

Ally

Item: x2 Eyed Cotton

Message:

Hello! I'm glad to see your messages, thank you!!!!

Every day, I'm checking my mailbox to hear something from you! You know, I'm still not very good in writings, but... I would like to send you something special! One day, I visited Boroto and his workshop, and he learned me to create this! I called them Eyed Cotton ^^ I know, this is not really original and it might look silly, but... but I like it. It may be a little obvious (because I am a plush tori, haha), but I really like toys. Especially plushes!! If I had more time and more materials, I'd like to learn how to create them. But, that's just my silly dream, haha.

I should go! I should work more and dedicate my time to other torimoris! Hope to meet you soon, bye!

Friend

Item: Scarf-like Thing

Message:

AW! YOU STILL REMEMBER MY MAIL!!

I'm so touched by all your sendings! I'm sorry that my answer took so much time, but I have explainings! As I knew before - torimori never get sick. But I was wrong! I got sick! So, other assisstants told me that I can get some rest. I was doing ACHOO every time I saw my room, I have not cleaned here for a long time, and it was very dusty. It seems that my house even got chockins! I lost one thing because of them (and probably will never see it again, because they stole it... aw), but, instead, one day I found another cool one. I found a bunch of colorful rags! It seems like it used to be a blanket, but chockins ruined it, ooff... so, I took my needle and started to sew, If I'm sick, I need a warm blanket and a couple of tea ^^

That's what I thought... but, something gone wrong and I got, aaa-... Scarf-like Thing! And it's even better! I already have a blanket, not as colorful as this one was, but I have! But I had no scarf. And a scarf should help too! So, after I created this scarf- I cleaned up my room, also sorted all messages and gifts from you, and finally went to bed, wrapped in scarf... Actually, I forgot to drink tea ^^; But this wasn't needed. The next day, I was healthy and feeling great! But toris said, I should be careful and rest better. They said, I worked too hard, so I deserved more rest... So, today, I have so much free time to do something with those rags again (I have some left)!! I'm so excited! And, of course, I have some time to write you this message.

But, that's not all! I feel really sorry that I can't message you too often... so, I decided to make something special for my friend... yes. Friend <3 ^^ Your messages helped me to feel something important. Thank you... I would like to hug you by my softy hands, but, because I can't do this every time - I hope, this scarf will do this instead of me, and warm you... so, take it ///// (really, it is a veeeery good thing! I wish you will never get a sick, though!)

Best Friend

Item: Plushy Tori Junior Charm

Message:

Have a good day, friend!! Finally, I got some free time again, and I'm so happy that we continue to talk, this is lovely ^^

Today I made something special that I want to show you!

Ta-daaa! It's a Tori Junior! ^^ My first plush toy ever, and it's a torimori!! Well, actually, I did some plushes before, but it was a practice, they weren't such cute as this one. Also, it took my last materials to make it, so I couldn't make too much details. It's a little snowball, haha, but I like it! I'm... actually, not sure that this is something best, but you are my really close friend and I think I can trust you <3

Also, I should tell you a secret, something that worries me or makes me super excited... I don't know why, but... I'm not only interested in making plushes. My actual dream is to create the real creatures! That's exciting, I would be so happy if I had such abilities. But, I'm worrying by the fact that, ah, I know, this is impossible and I'm just a torimori... so I should just enjoy by my limits and do my work... Oof, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this and burden you with this! But I have no one else to share it, so... What do you think? Is this possible or not?

Once I met a mysterious guy, he told me that I shouldn't worry about it, I should believe and stay positive, because it's me. He said, these thoughts and worries aren't mine, and one day, I'll just find the way I'm dreaming about... His words were covered by mysterious, but they make me feel a little bit better... I don't know if I can trust him... but, for some reason, I feel, he is right, and I should just move on! The only thing I'm really worried is... why he said that these thoughts aren't mine, what did he mean? As a plush tori and a worker tori, I'm really worried about my individuality, because I'm not a puppet! All tori-workers are very different despite our pretty similar appearance, and we believe that hard-working is a choice of our souls. But we are very afraid that the reality is different, and in fact someone is just controlling us. I hope this guy had something different in mind... And who needs to inspire that fear in me? But who owns these thoughts originally, if they are not mine, and why are they visiting my mind?

I hope I didn't scare you... you can still rely on me, I'll never let you down, friend! ^^

Soul Mate

Item: Torimori Plush - Little Assistant

Message:

Hello-hello!! This message is going to be short, but, I promise that you'll love it! ^^

It's been a while since I sent you something special. It's because I've been practicing more and more! And finally, I can send you something I'm absolutely proud and satisfied! ^^ So... do you remember, what I said when I sent you a scarf? I'd like to hug you and be closer at all, but, my weekends are so rare. Even when I'm ACHOOing and staying at home - I don't want to infect you. So, I got a great idea based on all my thoughts before! Maybe I can't be like a creator, but, other toris said, I could be a good toy designer.

Look at this child! It's a copy of me, right?! I called them Little Assistant ^^ I put my soul into this plush, haha, not literally, of course (but who knows, I was actually trying to do that!). But I hope it's really close, and they will hug you instead of me. It's also a powerful guardian and a helper (as me!), however, it's just a concept, you know, it's still just a toy and it will not move, aw >w<;

Anyway, I hope you like it! Please, take care of Little me, also about Tori Junior - this toy is a part of me too <3

Ah!!! By the way! I just realized, do people usually sign at the end of the letter? Let's try!

Best wishes,

June, 3rd D-category Tori Assistant!
