Kelby

Kelby is the third guy to appear in Blush Blush. He is unlocked by reaching level 4 in the Running (Healthy) hobby.

Kelby is turned into a chicken, and saves you from drowning while you are looking for cursed guys in the ocean.

Personality

Kelby is an energetic guy who loves fitness more than anything. He tends to resort to speaking in sports metaphors, often finding himself confused if he tries to describe his feelings any other way.

While he struggles to be romantic in the traditional sense, he does get shy around the protagonist and talks about wishing he could woo them in a more traditional way. More often than not, his flirting consists of jokes and athletic offers.

1/31	Hey there!
2/31	It's your fave swingman, Kelby!
3/31	That's swingman as in the basketball term, not wingman as in... well, it has two meanings for me.
4/31	You got a minute?
(A)	For you? A minute, an hour, a lifetime...
(B)	I have SO MANY minutes, they're spilling out all over the place! Take some off my hands PLEASE!
5/31	Awww, you big softie...	You got it, my main 'mallow!
6/31	Alright, now that we've established you have multiple minutes...
7/31	I could really use your help!
8/31	And no, I haven't been turned into a bird again!
(A)	Aww, I was just warming up my lips for some more curse-breaking!
(B)	Are you sure? You should send me a butt selfie so I can check for any new tailfeathers...
9/31	You don't need an excuse to kiss me!	Trust me, if I was growing any of those tickly little so-and-so's, I'd know.
10/31	Although if you did, I think I could come up with one that involves a little less hassle...	What a hassle!
11/31	And speaking of hassles, about that thing I need your help with...
12/31	A bunch of us lifeguards are doing a fundraiser to provide free adult swim lessons to people who missed out on learning when they were kids!
(A)	Right! So who do I make this blank check out to?
(B)	Are you teaching them? Because if so, sign me up!
13/31	Noooooo!	Oh, I'm not teaching them. You know what they say...
14/31	Getting my rich sweetie to just hand over the full amount is cheating!	Just because you won the World Series doesn't mean you have what it takes to coach a slowpitch rec league.
15/31	Fundraising is the way to go, trust me. And it's a great team builder, too!
16/31	Our first idea was to host a charity car wash - you know, play to our strengths n'all that.
17/31	(Psst, I'm talking about our washboard abs...)
18/31	But then we remembered how many people are driving those newfangled electric cars nowadays!
19/31	And who's to say dumping a soapy bucket of water on the hood of one of those wouldn't have the same effect as dropping a toaster in a bathtub?
(A)	I don't think that's how electric cars work, but continue...
(B)	What if you wore rubber gloves?
20/31	Listen, if there's any one thing I can say about lifeguards as a group...	Oh man, I never thought of that!
21/31	It's that we're always, ALWAYS better safe than sorry!	I was just stuck on how we'd be making full body contact with all that metal wearing nothing but a banana hammock...
22/31	So the car wash is out. What's the next best option?
23/31	A Lifeguardin' Hotties Calendar, of course!
(A)	Do people still use paper calendars in this day and age?
(B)	How much extra would I have to pay to get one that's just twelve months of you?
24/31	We thought of that! Which is why we'll be offering the images as phone wallpapers as well!	I'm sure we can work something out... ;)
25/31	Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
26/31	First, we're gonna need calendar-worty photos!
(A)	If you're about to ask me if I think whatever pic you took is hot enough, the answer's yes.
(B)	Say no more, Kelby. Consider my schedule cleared for the foreseeable future.
27/31	That's really very sweet...	I knew I could count on you! Especially when hawt pics are involved.
28/31	But what if I send you a selfie with a shadow under my nose that makes me look like I have a booger or something?
29/31	That's why I need you to be BRUTALLY HONEST, okay?
30/31	A good charitable cause deserves a great calendar!
31/31	[Kelby Photo 1]
(A)	Hmmm... Dynamic action shot, great eye contact with the camera, clear natural lighting...
(B)	Uh... something something rule of thirds? I got nothin', Kelby. You look fine as heck.
1/26	But there's still something missing, isn't there?	I know it's not the definition you were going for there...
2/26	It's okay, you don't have to say it.	But I need to look better than just "fine"!
3/26	This pic just doesn't scream "Hot Lifeguards"...
4/26	And everyone's counting on me, so I really want to get this right!
5/26	Back to the drawing board it is.
(A)	That's the spirit! Get right back on the horse... I mean, lookout chair!
(B)	Well, I'd certainly let you save MY life again, anyway...
6/26	Huh... Now there's something I hadn't thought of before...	I don't think a lifeguard's looks really factor in when push comes to shove. (Into the deep end without a life jacket.)
7/26	Maybe that's it!
8/26	Apparently I've got the "Hottie" part of the calendar theme on lock...
9/26	So what's that leave?
10/26	The "Lifeguardin'" part, of course!
(A)	Mmm, guys who rock a whistle and nose sunscreen get me so hot...
(B)	Yeah! It's a Lifeguardin' Hotties calendar, not a Random Hottie Swimming calendar!
11/26	Oh yeah! Props! That's a great idea!	I'd hope by now I'd be more than a random hottie to you... But the point still stands.
12/26	I need to look... at least 230% more Lifeguard-y!
13/26	Give or take. I think.
14/26	I never was very good at math.
15/26	Unless we're talking sports statistics!
(A)	Kelby. Focus.
(B)	Me neither. All these crazy hobbies, but none seem to level up THAT skill...
16/26	Right. Lifeguard photo. Charity calendar.	Whatevs. I think you're plenty skilled already.
17/26	On it.	A real renaissance marshmallow!
18/26	I better get back to snappin' some pics before I get any more distracted.
19/26	Thanks to you, I think I've got a pretty solid game plan now.
20/26	All that's left is to execute!
(A)	Three two one... Break! GOOOO team!
(B)	You can do it, Kelby! Remember, you're MY Lifeguardin' Hottie no matter what!
21/26	Well, as far as pep talks go... It's the thought that counts.	Good, then you can buy this entire case of calendars if they don't sell...
Pause	3 minutes 20 seconds pause
22/26	Okay, I'm back!
23/26	I raided the lifeguard station for a bunch of fun photo props.
24/26	It took me a few tries, but I managed to snap a pic I'm pretty stoked with!
25/26	I'll let you make the call on whether it's calendar-worthy.
26/26	[Kelby Photo 2]
(A)	Calendar-worthy? I want to commission an oil painting and hang it on my mantle!
(B)	Mr. June, is that you?
1/30	I'd assume that was an exaggeration coming from anyone else...	You really think my pic is good enough to deserve a prime summer month slot?
2/30	But you probably have some fancy schmancy portraitist in your contacts already!	Wow!
3/30	Jeeze, you're making me blush so hard, I probably look like I'm getting a sunburn!
4/30	People are gonna think I skipped my SPF!
5/30	I can't be out here setting that kind of bad example as a lifeguard!
(A)	Ditch the whistle, quick!
(B)	I'm guessing "Do as I say, not as I do" wouldn't fly in this situation?
6/30	Not good enough! They've already seen me with it!	Maybe for some, but I take my responsibilities as a role model for pool safety very seriously!
7/30	It's probably time for me to hit the showers anyway.
8/30	I got what I came here for after all!
9/30	Don't go anywhere, okay? I'm not through with you yet!
Pause	10 minutes pause
10/30	Hey again! Sorry I took so long!
11/30	I was on my way to hang up my life preserver, but some pool patrons saw me with it on my arm and thought I was on duty!
12/30	And since it was an emergency, I couldn't exactly say no!
(A)	An emergency?! Was anybody hurt?! Were YOU hurt?
(B)	Did the emergency involve giving someone mouth to mouth? Not that I'm jealous or anything...
13/30	Thankfully no!	Haha, no! And no need to be jealous, there is NOTHING romantic about drowning resuscitation, no matter what certain mermaid movies would have you believe.
14/30	No, they just needed me to fish something... suspicious out of the pool.
15/30	Turns out it was a chocolate bar!
16/30	The kid who lost it was very disappointed when I told him I didn't think candy dipped in chlorine was still safe to eat.
(A)	You may not have saved his life, but you definitely saved him from getting a tummy ache!
(B)	He wouldn't be able to swim for thirty minutes after eating it, anyway.
17/30	All in a day's work.	I think that's a myth, but still...
18/30	I'd hate to see anyone get a cramp on my watch!
(A)	You sure are dedicated to this whole lifeguard gig, huh?
(B)	The world's a better place because you're in it, Kelby.
19/30	Of course I am!	Aw, are you talking to me as your boyfriend, or as a lifeguard?
20/30	I don't consider my poolside duties to be any different from anything else I do.
21/30	People think sports is about becoming a superstar.
22/30	Breaking records, being on trading cards, making the big bucks...
23/30	But it's so much more than that.
24/30	It's about showing up every day and just doing your best for your team.
25/30	Being someone people can count on.
(A)	Well then put me in, coach, because you can count on me!
(B)	Well, I think it's safe to say the people you're fundraising for can count on you!
26/30	I can, and I do.	Yeah, and I can count on YOU.
27/30	I knew you'd understand that this cheesy calendar was still super important to me.
28/30	I needed to get this picture just right, and I couldn't have done it without you.
29/30	So... thanks.
30/30	[Kelby Photo 3]
(A)	Awwww, I "heart" you too, Kelby!
(B)	If you ever decide to make a Locker Room Hotties follow-up calendar, you've got a head start...
1/∞	Yeah, you get me.	Nu-uh. This one is just for you.
2/∞	I'm not so good with words, but I just want you to know how much I love you.
3/∞	No matter where I go or what I do...
4/∞	Whether it's fundraising for charity or a pickup game...
5/∞	You're always on my team.
6/∞	And that means the world to me.
(A)	Well then, call me point guard, because I've got your back.
(B)	What's a sport metaphor way of saying "I love you"?
7/∞	And you've got my heart.	Not sure. But slapping my butt will never go amiss.
8/∞	I'm getting chilly standing here in my towel though...
9/∞	So I'd better go.
10/∞	I'll put you down for a calendar or two... hundred.
11/∞	See ya!

(B)	So it IS that kinda calendar...
1/26	They came undone?	What do you mean? It's just a pic of me swimming!
2/26	Oh crap, they did!	...While my trunks slip lower with every stroke.
3/26	Yeesh, another... several inches and you'd be able to see my entire cock... a-doodle-doo!
4/26	I think that might be a little TOO hot for the Lifeguardin' Hotties calendar.

16/26	Here's the deal. You help me take a photo for my calendar...	Yeah, like my leg muscles!
17/26	And I'll take a photo that's just for you.	Oh. You meant my dick, didn't you? Heh heh...
18/26	I better get back to snappin' some pics before I get any more distracted.

2/30	Or thank you for the sexy mental image you just gave me!	Now I can't think about anything else, either!
3/30	On that note... I gotta hit the showers.
4/30	Like... now.
5/30	This whole back and forth has some stuff going down in my swim trunks that I'd really rather keep between us.
(A)	An inconveniently-timed boner? For me? I'm flattered!
(B)	If it's something you're keeping between us, does that mean I get to see?
6/30	Pfft, as if you didn't know exactly what you were doing!	I've seen some savvy plays, but this one might take the trophy.
7/30	No point letting it go to waste though, right?

9/30	Don't go anywhere, okay? I'm not through with you yet!
Pause	10 minutes pause
10/30	Well hey there.
11/30	Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
12/30	I just found myself in the mood for a long, hot, steamy shower for some reason...
(A)	As long as it wasn't a cold shower, I guess I can forgive you.
(B)	I wonder what reason that could possibly be...
13/30	No way! That would ruin the good time I had planned for us!	Hey now, if anyone deserves to be acting COCK-y right now, it's me.
14/30	You were just such a big help to me today...
15/30	I thought I could give you something equally big in return.
16/30	As a way of expressing my thanks.
(A)	I love big things! Big plates of fries, big rig trucks, big... hearts.
(B)	Is the big thing your dick? Please tell me it's your dick!
17/30	And aren't you a big... tease! Well, I hope you can take it as well as you dish it out!	What, and spoil the surprise?
18/30	Because I thought I'd tease you just a little longer...
(A)	Nooo! My mouth hasn't stopped watering since you sent me that first almost dick pic!
(B)	Bring it on! I'm a black belt at delayed gratification! My timers have timers!
19/30	Then we're even!	Oh yeah? I've had some practice with delayed gratification myself...
20/30	On account of the fact that my dick has been hard since you put those sexy thoughts in my head!
21/30	Who am I kidding... You didn't need to put sexy thoughts in my head.
22/30	They were there from the very first text.
23/30	That's what you do to me, without DOING anything at all.
24/30	I'm lucky that I've had so much practice keeping my eye on the ball and my head in the game.
25/30	Otherwise I'd have forgotten all about the charity calendar and just ran straight to your place still dripping wet from the pool!
(A)	You could still do that, you know. If you wanted. I wouldn't mind.
(B)	And I'd have welcomed you with open legs- I mean, arms.
26/30	I'm kinda not in any condition to run, currently...	Is that offer still "open"?
27/30	Because...
28/30	Well...
29/30	Maybe I'd be better off just showing you...
30/30	[Kelby NSFW Photo 3]
(A)	That is... a very unconventional towel rack. I need one for my bathroom, obviously!
(B)	Is it possible to make a towel disappear with the power of your mind? Asking for a friend...
1/∞	Talk about "off the wall" decor!	I've heard of disappearing handkerchiefs, but a disappearing towel would be a new one!
2/∞	How do you come up with this stuff?
3/∞	You're so creative, I wonder if you can guess what I'm gonna do next...
4/∞	I'll give you a hint.
5/∞	It involves my hand, but it isn't a game of catch
6/∞	There are, however, balls involved...
(A)	Is it a solo sport, or can I play too?
(B)	Do you need a stopwatch? Is there a time you have to beat?
7/∞	It's certainly better if you join in...	Personally, I like to make it last as long as possible.
8/∞	Texting one-handed isn't exactly a strength of mine though...
9/∞	So I'd better go.
10/∞	I'll put you down for a calendar or two... hundred.
11/∞	See ya!

Dialogue List

First Meeting

While on your quest to find all the transformed boys, you decide to look in the ocean. But it turns out that being in the water is the leading cause of drowning, and you begin to sink! You yell for help...
...and the lifeguard rushes to your rescue, pulling you from the briny deep. "I gotcha," he says, in dramatic fashion. "Rest easy, you're safe now."
"Sorry it took me more than four seconds to save you. I'm only half the lifeguard I once was..." That's when you notice that your lifeguard is an enormous chicken. It's one of the guys you cursed! Looks like this is your chance to rescue him!

Adversary

Pop-up Dialogue

So you think you can help? Honestly, I just appreciate the effort. They were less than helpful at the hospital, telling me I should see a specialist at the KFC.

Talk

Can we just get all the "cock" jokes out of the way? I have a feeling that's a path we don't want to go down...
Squawk!* I have the *Squawk* Hi-hiccups *Squawk!*
Arg! These feathers are killing my flow. But I won't dare pluck them, because... Well, you know... Naked.
So what is this thing on my head? It's not like... You know. Like a private thing, is it? Should I slap a jock on it?
At least this transformation is going to make it easy to pick up chicks. Haha! I'm lame.

Poke

Squawk! No! Stop! Squawk! This is your doing! Squawk!

Upgrade to Acquaintance

Look, I appreciate the help. You seem pretty stand up. I wasn't really ready to deal with being a chicken, but I'm ready to buckle down and fix this.
Yeah, ok. I accept. I just really wish you could have turned me into something a little less... edible.

So I'm a chicken. But this chicken ain't calling in sick. That's not how this chicken rolls. I've officially said the word 'chicken' too much.

Talk

Everything is more difficult with feathers. Well, except dusting. That's hella easy now.
Not gonna lie, I used to hit leg day hard. The loss of my glutes is a bitter apple in my story.
I'm having trouble finding decent sportswear for chickens. Even with all the weird stuff you can find on the internet, looks like no one makes tracksuits for chickens.
I've got a song stuck in my head. It goes like this: Cock-a-doodle-doo bop! Ba duba dop Ba du bop... oh god it's Hanson!
I got mistaken for a shuttlecock yesterday, and got whacked around for a set. I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere, but I've got several concussions and I'm not on my A game.

Upgrade to Frenemy

So, how's the curse-breaking thing going? Can I help in any way? Fetch you some, I dunno... Eye of newt or something?
Okay, cool. I'm not gonna lie - I don't even know what a newt looks like, or where to begin looking for one.
[With 'Friend' picture] While you're out for a 'low-impact trek', Kelby squawk-laughs at one of your dumb jokes. "Oh man, I can't believe how often you make me laugh. Hey listen - no matter what happens next, you and I are good. Just wanted you to know."

I had a dream last night that I laid an egg. I've honestly never understood what it's like to be a woman so much.

I think that I'll still try to pursue a career in acting. I think I can really bring something new to the screen. Like a beak!
I need some normal in my life. Let's hit a fancy restaurant and sip wine, exactly like how chickens don't.
I got benched. It's hard being on the sidelines, but I am KILLING it as team mascot.
There are definitely less convenient animals I could have been turned in to. Like an elephant. Or a titmouse.
Hey! I'm hitting a jog this morning - come with. Come on. Get up. If a rooster can jog, then so can you.
I'm pretty sure I can still beat you in rugby. I mean I don't want to get cocky, but... Hahaha! Oh man, I love that joke.

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

So... You're saying that, to break the curse, we have to kiss? Well - that's a lot better than sacrificing a chicken or something, I guess. Ready?
Here's the wind up... And the pitch...
[With 'Kiss' picture] "So we gotta try kissing to change me back? Right on! I was worried it would take trans fats or something. Let's do it!" The usual sparkles and bubbles show up, and a mostly de-feathered guy appears!

Bam! Look at me! I've got regular old fingers instead of huge talons! And I've got my normal junk back!

I was going to take you to a ball game, but they have a "No Chickens" policy. Like, there were signs and everything. Seemed excessive. Sad face.
You make me feel like I could run a marathon, blind folded, over broken glass, and this is starting to become a scary visual in my head.
We should wrestle! Come closer so I can wrap my arm around you. Great! Now when I count to 500 we start!
Yesterday I was on my evening run and I saw these super bright flowers. And then I ate some. Do chickens eat flowers? Or was that all me?
Let's go to the gym together - it's a win / win. I get to work my delts, AND I get to watch you sweat.
Let's hit the showers! Oh, but not in, like, the sexy way. In the sporty way. Wait a minute... Those are different things, right?
Wanna snuggle up and watch a chick flick? Hahaha!
When I look at you my heart beats so fast. Like - bases loaded. Bottom of the ninth. Two strikes, three balls, and... Sorry what were we talking about?

Gift

Gosh, I don't know what to say. I usually only get gifts on my Birthday and Xmas. You're making me blush pretty hardcore.

Poke

Hahaha! Hey, cut it out! I'M the one armed with the enormous tickle-tail. This isn't a fight you can win!

Upgrade to Crush

Talking to you gets me psyched up. No matter how tough it gets, it's easy to keep going with you in my corner.
The only problem is that everything I say is, like, 90% cheesier. Is that a chicken thing? I'm going to pretend like it is.

Gosh, do I like having hands again. And along with all the sports and scratching-related relief, it lets me hold yours... If you're into it.
Yes! Score! Hahaha! But not yet. My hands are SUPER sweaty from the anticipation of all that. Be right back!

Well, my swim times are suffering, but otherwise this whole "Kelby with feathers" is definitely a better deal than the "Kelby is lower on the food chain" thing.

Hey, no joke, during my last game my mind kept wandering and thinking about you. I scored nine goals.
Anyway, now I'm being tested for performance enhancement. But I don't think what I got will show up on a urine test.

Boyfriend

Pop-up Dialogue

*SQUAWK!* Ahem, sorry! Saw a worm. Got excited. It's embarrassing all around. Can we forget this happened?

Talk

You ever score the game winning basket at the buzzer? You make me feel like that all the time. Only the basket is my heart, and the buzzer is... My heart. Dam it! I suck at romance!
You must be tired. You've been running, swimming, hiking, and flying through my mind all day.
Gah! Everytime I see you, I lose my chill and get all awkward aardvark, or whatever. Come on Kelby! Game face!
I really wish I was good at poetry, or something. You wouldn't happen to find track and field romantic? That would be HUGE!
I am so lucky to have met you. Even though you ruffled my feathers at first. Ha ha ha! NAILED it!

Gift

You're the sweetest sweetheart in sweet town. And that's pretty sweet.

Poke

No stop! Hahaha! You're gonna get me all worked up! And let's just say these shorts aren't really up to the challenge of providing subtlety.

Upgrade to Lover

So... I was riding my bike last night, thinking about you, and I crashed into a street post. There's no real point to this story. I just like telling you stuff.
Hey. You're cool, and I love you. Just FYI. I'm afraid at this point you're just plain old stuck with me.
[WIth 'Transformation' picture] During a game of one on one, Kelby is about to go for the winning shot, when you pull down his pants to distract him. He shrieks his manliest scream, and pants you back. The two of you are laughing, and you begin to kiss... when there's a magical explosion! The curse is broken!
[With 'Lover' Picture] "Thought I looked cute, might delete later. Just kidding. I took like 500 of these until I finally had one that didn't look weird. Let me know if you're ever down for a little one on one, shirt versus skins. I'll let you pick which one I wear. <3 - Kelby

Sex Scene

During a game of one on one, Kelby is about to go for the winning shot, when you pull down his pants to distract him. That's when you notice he's incredibly hard. He laughs, and pulls you in for a sweaty kiss... which causes a magical explosion! The curse is broken!
Naked and very turned on, Kelby grasps your forearms and begins to kiss you more. You feel his erection press between your legs, and he quickly undresses you. The two of you stumble to your room, and begin to fuck passionately on your couch.
Afterward, as the two of you are calming down, he gets a bit of a goofy smile. "Looks like neither of us have to hit the gym today. That was the best cardio of my life! We should make this a regular thing." He laughs, and kisses you, very pleased with himself.

Oh man. I just want to give you the game plan here - you're still blowing my mind with all this romance biz...
I don't even know what to do. I just hope it keeps going. Let's keep this record going, you know?

Max Lover (Lover+)

Pop-up Dialogue

Hey there you are! I was just thinking about you. I miss you whenever you're not around.
So I bought a new jacket that's lined with feathers. It's strangely... Arousing?
I wanted to warn you - I've got this weird condition where I fall on the people I like and kiss them. And I think I feel it coming on...
I feel so energized and happy, I feel like wrestling. Or "wrestling", if you catch my meaning. But not both at the same time. That's dangerous.
So l got a little too used to having feathers. The last time I went skiing, I was... Less aerodynamic than I assumed. Trees are hard.
(Naked) Oh hey, how's it going? I was just trying to wash something on my abs. I know I know - dumb idea. But I HAD to try.
(Naked) I started cooking yesterday, dressed like this. This was a bad thing.
(Naked) You leave me breathless. If you're up for it, maybe we can come up with our own kind of game.

Talk

No more feathers! Or beak! Or testicle hat! I never looked up what that thing on my head was, actually, and now I'll never have to.
Let's go for a run! I want to feel the breeze without that parachute of a tail stuck to my butt.
I don't want to sound all after-school-special, but being a chicken really made me appreciate being human. I'm not gonna forget that. Or talk about it. Because it sounds CRAZY out loud.
Let's go to Paris one day. There's a list of things I want to do in the "City Of Love". Here's a hint - shopping isn't one of them.
Did you know you can add "strip" to any game, and it makes it more fun? I'd be happy to prove it to you...
Do you like what I'm wearing? I was thinking it might look amazing on your bedroom floor.
Man, you finally get used to having a gigantic tail, and then you gotta switch back. First world problems?
Not gonna lie. Still can't look at a chicken burger the same way. Now toss some grain on the ground, and we're talking.
Someone asked if I wanted to play a game of "Horse" today. I said as long as it wasn't a game of "chicken". I laughed. They didn't.
Sometimes I miss the feeling of being a bird. So I'm gonna go throw myself out of a plane. Want to join me?
You have the softest lips... Can I borrow your lip chap? Or maybe I'll steal some in a different way...
Hey, sorry for being all sweat-city. Still hot from practice. I need to take some layers off.
Hey, look at this. I'm not hugging or kissing you. Well, that's pretty easy to fix.
(Naked) I love the feel of your skin on mine. And not just because it's sexy... You have crazy soft skin. What moisturizer do you use?
(Naked) Being a naked chicken and being a naked person are VERY different experiences. Here's a hint - I can tell the air conditioner is on.
(Naked) Apparently trying out for the track team naked is "inappropriate" and "illegal." Don't ask me how I know.
(Naked) So, is it shirts vs skins? I didn't realize the "skins" team also included shorts. I hope I can at least wear my sneakers!
(Naked) Pants should be optional. Frankly, more people need to be naked.
(Naked) I'm cool hanging out like this. Though it draws attention to the term "hanging out".
(Naked) I'm going crazy imagining you touching me. I REALLY hope you're not planning on leaving me hanging.
(Naked) The joke's on you l'm far more agile in the nude! Not many people know that because... Well, that's pretty obvious.
(Naked) Clothes are a drag. Literally - they slow you down in the water. But just TRY to race in the nude once, and you get a reputation.

Poke

Hey! Keep that up, and there's a half-nelson tickle attack in your future.
If you tickle me, and I squawk because of it, there's going to be heck to pay. I'm talking handcuffs, feathers, all kinds of revenge.
Haha! No matter how hard I try, I can't hold back this goofy laugh when you tickle me.
(Naked) If there were gold medals for stealthy tickling mastery, you'd have them all.
(Naked) Hahaha! Wow! I'm completely out of breath. That's actually kind of a foreign feeling for me.
(Naked) You sure do like your completely-unfair-naked-tickling. That's okay though, I like it more.
(Naked) Haha! Okay, naked tickling is NOT fair. I'm not gonna hold back if you keep this up!

Gift

Wow! I don't even know what to say! This is the perfect gift, perfectly wrapped, given at the perfect time. It's... great! Hahaha!
Aww man, you're making me blush. How am I supposed to act all tough and confident with my face all red?
Thank you. I hope one day I can make you feel as loved as I feel right now.
Damn, I just can't thank you enough. I'm still thanking you from the last gift. I need a thank-coach and an off season to train.
[Boxers] Hey, nice! UnderShield! These are perfect for track and field, motocross, and... Well, bedroom stuff obviously. Haha!
[Birthday Suit] Whoa! Now that's a clear signal if I ever saw one. So, umm... Naked. Naked is good.
[Spooky Outfit] Oh man - this costume reminds me of the time I was convinced I could ski blindfolded! Only I didn't get the chance, 'cause I fell off the ski lift. Wait, why was I telling you this story?
[Butler Outfit] The butler did it! And by "it" I mean... Cooked you this elegant five-course meal and sprinkled rose-petals on the bed. The butler was also hoping to do some - ah - "other stuff" tonight.
[Kigurumi Outfit] Is it just me, or is it hot in here? I mean, this thing is cozy as heck but it's definitely not what I'd call "breathable". Do you mind if I unzip it just a bit? Maybe... A bit more? Maybe all the way?
[Masquerade Outfit] I know roosters can't fly, but hopefully, I can make you feel like you're soaring.
[Summer Outfit] Wanna join in on some beach volleyball? It's co-ed! Okay, maybe I just want an extra excuse to bump into ya.
[RPG Outfit] Why is archery such an underrated sport? I honestly don't get it! At least my team - err, "party" - appreciates my love of a good bow.
[Kimono Outfit] Wow! This feels really nice and luxurious on my skin. Especially since I just finished shaving my whole body for a swim competition.
[Pirate Outfit] Ahoy there, soul-matey!

Upgrade to Lover+ (Endless)

I'll say it again if you ever decided to put the same dedication into fitness that you put into me, you'd be a champion marathon runner instantly.
But, like, don't do that. I'm still really enjoying all this dedication you're lavishing on me. Hahaha!

Date Dialogue

Animal Version (Adversary to Friendzone)

[Dinner] I'm just so used to ordering the chicken... It's a clean protein... Delicious... What a disaster.
[Boat Ride] Man, that was a fun date! I never realized I wanted a brood of ducklings to mistake me for their mother until it happened. Good to know!
[Coaster] Well, on the plus side, that was an exciting date. Not every day you get a near death experience. At least I hope not!
[Carnival] Sooo... I know this is a bit too ironic for comfort, but when it comes to haunted houses... I'm a bit of a chicken.

Hybrid/Human Version (Awkward Besties to Lover)

[Dinner] It was super nice of that fancy restaurant to serve my meal as a power shake. Talk about service!
[Boat Ride] Hey, so... Sorry about the whole "jump in the lake unexpectedly" thing. Sometimes you see water. Sometimes you need to jump in. I'm sure that's a pretty common feeling.
[Coaster] So that settles that. Roller coasters are much more fun when you meet the height, weight and species requirements to properly use them. Neat!
[Carnival] Haha! Now that I've ridden that ride a few hundred times, it's way less scary. Kelby 1 - Haunted House 0!

Unlocked at Lover Level

[Masquerade] What can I say? Dressed like a prince, with a date fit for a king. I might just get a bit cocky.

Dialogue About Cole

Gosh, talk about bad luck! The brakes on my motorcycle seized up yesterday. And my helmet strap broke. And a wheel came off. It's almost like the universe wants me dead or something.
I'm not sure, but... I think someone was chasing me on my jog yesterday. Someone came running up behind me, and I felt a little uneasy. So I broke into a full sprint and kept it going for a few hours. I guess they couldn't keep up.
Oh hey! Yesterday I went to go skydiving, but while I was doing my safety checks I discovered both my chute AND my back chute were mangled. Crazy coincidence hey? Good thing for safety checks!
Oh man, I went golfing yesterday, and someone filled in all the holes with cement. I was going nuts for hours trying to make a putt. Pretty cruel, if you ask me.
Someone keeps sending me buckets of fried chicken. It's horrifying! That's not clean protein! Grilled chicken all the way for this guy!
Someone sent me a letter that said, "I'm hunting you for sport..." Which is awesome! I'm always game for sports. Whoever it was, I hope they find me!

Dialogue in Hush Hush - Only Your Love Can Save Them

In the visual novel Hush Hush - the sister game of Crush Crush and Blush Blush - Kelby makes a few cameos in the game.

Kelby and Lilianna \| Park / July 3 Evening Event
Character	Dialogue
Kelby	And Kelby fakes left! His guard completely unsure what to make of him!
Lil	Would you shut up and just play?
Kelby	His guard tries psychological warfare, but little does she know... He doesn't know what those words mean!
Kelby	He allyoops and...
Narration	(Having quite a height advantage, the boy feints back and sinks a three pointer from half court.)
Kelby	Woo! Yeah! He scores!
Lil	Damnit!
Narration	(The girl walks off the court. She's sweating profusely, and you can see even through her clothes that she's ripped.)
Lil	Gawd fricken damn it...
Kelby	Whoa whoa whoa! It's okay Lil! That game was super close!
Lil	Shut up. I don't need you treating me like your baby girl or some BS.
Narration	(The girl sinks down, and breaths out a whisper of curse words in a foreign language.)
Narration	(Kelby seems unsure what to do.)
Option 2 - (Signal for him to blame himself.)
Narration	(Kelby notices you signalling to him and, for some reason, does exactly what you say.)
Narration	(He nods, and sits down beside the girl...)
Kelby	Lil... It's not a boy / girl thing. I know that stuff drives you nuts.
Kelby	It's just a height thing. You're fast, you're strong, you're scary as hell...
Narration	(Lil doesn't look up.)
Lil	You're just saying that.
Kelby	Nah, you could kick the butts of 99% of the guys on my rep team.
Kelby	You just so happen to keep practicing with the guy with a 7 inch reach advantage on ya.
Lil	...
Lil	That better not have been a joke about your junk, Kelby.
Kelby	Ahh! I don't even know how it could be.
Lil	Whatever. Let's play one more set.
Kelby	Heck yeah!

Kelby, Cassie, and Lotus \| Cafe / July 9 Evening Event
Character	Dialogue
Cassie	Oh! Look at this guy walking in!
Kelby	Hey good evening Lotus. Am I too late to grab a water and a protein square?
Lotus	Kelby! Hola, Aloha, and Hello! You're not too late - you made it with time to spare!
Kelby	Great! I ran double time from the gym.
Lotus	Sounds great, I'll be right there with your order!
Cassie	See that jersey? Regional team. Buncha local fan boys like wearing their jerseys.
Cassie	Watch this...
Cassie	Hey pal! Nice jersey! I like it when garbage is properly labelled!
Kelby	Woah, what? Hey! What the heck is your problem?
Cassie	No problems. Especially 'cause my friend here is particularly good at bouncing punks who like threatening ladies.
Cassie	Right?
Option 1 - What the hell are you doing?
Cassie	...
Cassie	Geez, I was just joking around. You both need to chill.
Kelby	Yikes. Well, there are better ways to show team spirit than threatening random people you don't even know.
Lotus	Here's your order, Kelby!
Kelby	Thanks Lotus, see you around.
Option 2 - I feel similarly about that sports team.
Kelby	Classy. You guys really need to learn some better sportsmanship.
Cassie	And you need to learn how to pick better teams to cheer for!
Kelby	Toxic. You guys are everything wrong in sports. I'm outta here.
Lotus	Here's your order, Kelby!
Kelby	Thanks Lotus, see you around.
Option 3 - Take a walk, pal. I'm not asking twice.
Kelby	Woah whoa! My bad, I didn't mean anything by that. I'll just take my stuff and go.
Lotus	Here's your order, Kelby!
Kelby	Thanks Lotus, see you around.

Kelby and Iro \| Beach / July 20 Morning Event
Character	Dialogue
Iro	Hey Kelby! What did you think of that?
Iro	Tell this girl to do a barrel roll, and she delivers!
Kelby	I was just super impressed you did it without losing your top this time! Haha!
Iro	Kelby! That happened once!
Kelby	That's not what Eli says...
Iro	Once... With you around.
Iro	Anything else is no comment.
Kelby	Hahaha! Just kidding! JK! JK!
Narration	(Iro comes closer and punches him in the arm. He gives a mock expression of pain, and the two of them head to a spot on the beach to sit.)
Kelby	So hey - I wanted to ask.
Iro	What's up?
Kelby	Didn't you mention that you'd met someone that was going to surf with you? I feel like you've been practicing more with me than anyone else...
Iro	Oh well... It's just that...
Iro	You're a better surfer, is all. The best in town.
Kelby	Aww, thanks Iro! But when you mentioned it to me before, you were all stoked.
Kelby	What happened? Were they a major jerk, or something?
Iro	...
Iro	Sigh No. Just the opposite in fact. I think I'm starting to...
Iro	You know... Get feelings for them...
Kelby	Oh hey, that's great!
Narration	(Iro shoots him a dirty look.)
Kelby	I mean... That's terrible!
Iro	Sorry. I just... I'm still not... I don't know...
Iro	I sort of swore off ever finding love and happiness, and living alone as a crazy cat lady someday.
Iro	But now...
Kelby	Aww, come on. Eventually, everyone swears they'll become a cat lady. Doesn't mean you can't find happiness somewhere else.
Iro	I know, I just...
Iro	Surfing is easier.
Kelby	Amen to that.
Narration	(The two sit quietly for a little time more.)
Iro	Well I should head.
Iro	Thanks for your help today, Kelby.
Kelby	Do you mean the surfing tips? Or the emotional encouragement?
Iro	Yes.
Kelby	Haha! Right on.
Kelby	Take it easy Iro!
Narration	(She heads out, and Kelby watches her leave.)
Narration	(After a few moments, she's gone, and Kelby seems to be packing up.)
Option 1 - (Approach him.)
Narration	(Kelby looks up as you approach him.)
Kelby	Oh hey, how's it going? Can I help you?
Sub Option 2 - Here's a $100. Go treat yourself, you gorgeous man.
Kelby	Hahaha! What?! Umm—okay!
Kelby	I mean, I'm not sure why you're giving this to me, but it really makes my day!
Kelby	Wow, I'm going to go buy something nice for my mom! Cheers, dude!
Narration	(Kelby gives you a high five, then packs up the rest of his things and departs.)
Sub Option 3 - Hey—thanks for being kind to Iro.
Kelby	Huh? Oh yeah, sure! I mean, I try to be nice to everyone. But it's nice getting a thank you.
Kelby	Hey! Thank YOU for being nice to me! See how we're spreading good vibes around?
Kelby	Feels awesome. Later!
Narration	(Kelby gives you a high five, then packs up the rest of his things and departs.)
