Dialogue[]
This was what Tom used to say before the Pets Update in the old Pet Shop.
"Hey there, my pet shop opens Saturday June 15th!”
“Only issue is that there aren’t any pets in Adopt Me”
“I had an idea! Can you go back in time to before the nursery was built?”
“And tell Sir Woofington, the town architect, to make sure the nursery has a pet department!”
“My Time Machine is on your right.”
This was what Tom used to say after the player went through the portal and talked to Sir Woofington.
"Thank you for speaking with Sir Woofington!”
“Now we wait, hopefully pets will enter the world of Adopt Me soon!”
“In the meantime, here’s a very special pet egg as a token of my appreciation.”
”It will one day hatch into a beautiful pet!”
This was what Tom used to say when a player interacted with him:
"Woof! Oops, sorry, thought you were a dog! I don't see many people in here that often, so I just learnt how to speak dog. Want to see some? Woof buy me a coffee woof... I mean bark. You know what to do..."
During the Fossil Isle Excavation (2020), he said this when a player interacted with him.
"Welcome to Fossil Isle! Are you a paleontologist looking to find fossils too? We'll need as many fossils as we can find if we want to bring back fossil eggs. I need them to power my time machine. Grab any tool from the tent, then head on over to the excavation and get digging! I can't wait to see some dinosaurs again. It's been too long!"
When Fossil Eggs were being released, he said this:
"The time machine is about to start! I can't wait! It's working! The DNA is powering the machine. Just need to give it time... This is all perfectly normal, don't worry! There's bound to be some power fluctuations. This reminds me of that time in the Cretaceous. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. Here it comes! Are you ready? We did it! A fossil egg! Now we can hatch extinct animals!"
This is what Tom says when players speak to him in the "WHAT IS THAT THING?!" countdown:
"What could this mean? Are the clouds getting bigger?"
When interacting with him to get a Time Traveler's Clock, he said this:
"Hey traveler! When are we?"
"I'd recognize Adoption Island anywhere, just not... anywhen."
"I was jumping between seasons when the pesky crabs ripped my bag!"
"I lost important research and the cogs needed to keep my machine powered... can you help? This was the only place I could get to..."
"Once I have the cogs, we could build an extra machine for you to keep! You know, without the time traveling parts."
"After doing inventory I located all three missing cogs:"
"The first one landed all the way in Winter Event (2022) with Burt, he's hosting Present Shuffle. That guy..."
"The crabs are located in the Nursery from the Southeast Asia Egg."
"And the most recent one, Tile Skip from last year's Halloween. Spooky."
"Yes! You found all three missing cogs. Thank you!"
"Now, I can repair my time machine. Let's build yours!"
When you collect the Time Traveler's Clock
Tom added the Time Traveler's Clock vehicle to your backpack!
"Thank you for your help, I couldn't have fixed my machine without you!"
"You've seen me in the past, you'll see me in the future. My research doesn't stop here!"
When playing the Winter Event (2022) minigame to get the Time Traveler's Clock, he said this:
"We're back in Winter 2022! What a freezing throwback!"
"I'm... not sure what Burt's deal is. Maybe you can talk to him."
"Wow, you got the time machine part back from Burt!"
"Well done! I can time travel but I cannot understand him..."
"Let's get out of these freezing temperatures!"
When playing the Southeast Asia Egg minigame to get the Time Traveler's Clock, he said this:
"We've made it back to last year's spring and the Southeast Asia Egg in the Nursery!"
"I can't believe these creatures have been hiding here all along..."
"One of the crabs has to have grabbed my time machine part!"
"Bring them back here for inspection, I'm positive we'll find it."
After finding one Crab,
"You found one! Where are the other two hiding?"
After finding two crabs,
"The final Crab has to be around here somewhere!"
"We found the missing cog! We can head back straight away."
"Unless you'd like to explore some more?"
When playing the Halloween Event (2023) minigame to get the Time Traveler's Clock, he said this:
Wow! I can't believe you made it through. Made it look easy, too."Now that we have what we needed... this place is giving me the creeps. Let's go."
