a great day to be a housefucker, as his cut seduction route voicelines were found! tldr- the scanning is an OVERTLY sexual thing. he gets flustered about you (the player character). he directs you on how to pose and pout while being scanned. huge stuff!!!!
I got several asks about this, Anon, so I hope you don't mind if I use yours to transcribe the lines for everyone to see, lol. I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't want to listen to the audio itself, because he's so awkward that it genuinely did me a bit of psychic damage.
I don't know if anyone has access to what the Courier's lines are supposed to be in these interactions, because all we have is House's replies, but I'm dying to see them. It's pretty clear you're blatantly flirting with him at least once or twice. What sort of game are we running on the computer man??? I could be off here, but it sort of seems like the progression of your romance would have involved multiple scans over multiple interactions, but that could just be the order the files were in.
Anyway. This is for posterity, but also because if I had to take these lines into my brain, so do you.
Robert House Cut Romance Quest Lines
[Referring to full-body scans he has of previous partners.] "They're more like...mementos, you might say. Reminders of women whose company I enjoyed long ago. A man of my stature always finds himself swarmed by nubile females. Preferring a challenge, I dated prominent Hollywood stars. Some were kind enough to gift me with certain...anatomical and biometric data. That's all I care to say on the subject."
[After taking a scan of you, ever-so-slightly flustered.] "Thank you so much for the scan. Uh, back to business now."
[Requesting a scan from you, sort of on-edge.] "Well enough. Just head over to the north wall. The guard will let you through."
[Seemingly responding to you making some sort of pass at him, bashful.] "Yes, yes I'm sure you're...but we do have business to attend to. Important business."
[Seemingly responding to you making some sort of pass at him, bashful.] "Be that as it may, we have a...professional relationship to maintain."
[Seemingly responding to you making some sort of pass at him, bashful.] "Whether that's true or false, we have a...professional relationship to maintain."
["Sultry", or as close to sultry as he can be.] "Yes, of course. Head on over."
["Sultry", or as close to sultry as he can be.] "Is that right? Well, due diligence must prevail."
[Sweet, a bit warm, but seems embarrassed at how he's feeling/acting.] "It would be, and will continue to be, my pleasure. The scanner awaits."
[Sweet, a bit warm, but seems embarrassed at how he's feeling/acting.] "Very much. Multiple scans increase fidelity exponentially. Step on over."
[Sweet, a bit warm, but seems embarrassed at how he's feeling/acting.] "May I? It would be my pleasure. The scanner awaits."
["Sultry", or as close to sultry as he can be.] "You know the answer to that question, my lovely. Step on over."
[Completely crashing and burning, audibly wants to turn himself inside out in embarrassment.] "The color in your cheeks is like...it's, uh...very nice. But we have business to attend to. Important business."
[Seemingly referring to the other scans he has access to.] "You're very different from them. It's not a matter of glamor, in your case, but you're compelling all the same."
[Seemingly referring to the other scans he has access to.] "Oh, they're lovely. Not to say you aren't lovely, too."
[Flustered, embarrassed that you're seeing through him for using the scans for some sort of sexual gratification. Sheepish on the last line.] "The data will be used in only the most dignified ways, of course. If you'll just head over to the north wall...?"
[Saying inside thoughts out loud like the 1 CH social genius he is.] "There is something...strangely compelling about you, isn't there?"
[Showing his hand, or as close as he's willing to get. He does intend to use the scans for "personal" reasons.] "Yes, looking. Looking is nice. The thing is, I happen to have on-hand the technology required to scan a new companion. If you'd be willing, that is. I'd compensate you, of course."
[As flirtatious as he's capable of being.] "There's certainly no lack of it when you're in the room. You are quite a darling, aren't you?"
[Flustered, responding to teasing about his attraction to you.] "Well, not fantasies, per se. But I do have onhand the technology required to scan a new companion. If you'd be willing to submit to the procedure, I could use the data. I'd compensate you, of course."
[Not bothering to hide his lasciviousness anymore as he instructs you how to pose for the scan. Would absolutely be beating his meat all the while if he could. Openly leering.] "Yes, that's it. Very nice. Pout your lips now, like you're blowing a kiss. Yes. Oh, yes. Oh, that is compelling, isn't it? Throw back your shoulders. That's it, thrust them forward. Not the shoulders."
[Instructing you how to pose.] "Make it look like you're angry. Yes, very nice."
[Delighted.] "Ooh, you came up with that one on your own."
[Basically slobbering on himself.] "Elongate your neck just a bit, please. Yes, that's right."
[Requesting a scan from you.] "Please, my dear. Make your way to the scanning area along the north wall.
