Cherukiki: This is our precious hideout! Kukki-Chebukki: Where we keep our precious treasure! Makki-Chebukki: I bet you stole our precious Ducal Guard's ring, too! Cherukiki: Give it back! Makki-Chebukki: Give it back! Kukki-Chebukki: Give it back! Tenzen: Lord/Lady Player name? What brings you to this place? Tenzen: Master Cid wishes to analyze that box to aid in the repair of the airship engine? Tenzen: My small masters, it seems this vessel is essential for the success of our mission. I beseech you to surrender the box to Lord/Lady Player name. Tenzen: We must take to the heavens without delay if we are to save the fifth mothercrystal. Cherukiki: Lord Tenzen... Kukki-Chebukki: We are moved by your speech... Makki-Chebukki: And find no choice but to act as you beseech. Tenzen: I am most glad to hear that, but please, you need not call me "Lord"... Tenzen: Lord/Lady Player name, I leave the vessel in your capable hands. See that it finds its way to Master Cid. Tenzen: I regret that I cannot accompany you, but I must return with these three. Makki-Chebukki: You just keep in mind that eventually... Kukki-Chebukki: We'll get you... Cherukiki: And your little moogle, too! |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Calm Before the Storm (pt.1) - Metalworks |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |Cid: Welcome back, Player name! So this is the box that everyone's been talking about. Cid: Tenzen was there to lend you a hand? Well, thank Altana for small blessings! Cid: I'll get straight to work analyzing this thing! Cid: Whoops, I almost forgot. I still need you to bring back Louverance from Carpenters' Landing, and Shikaree Z from Bibiki Bay. Cid: The Celestial Invincible Delver C.I.D. is depending on you! |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Calm Before the Storm - Carpenters' Landing |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |Louverance: Have you come with a message from him? I hear the matter is urgent... How do you respond? Yes, I have a message. <----- Chose this option! I have no message for you. Louverance: What's this you say? A "Master Cid" requests my presence? That name sounds somewhat familiar... How do you respond? Yes, I have a message. I have no message for you. <----- Chose this option! Louverance: What's this you say? You came to request my presence? Louverance: One moment, sir/madame. I do believe you are mistaking me for...him. Guilloud: Sir Louverance! It's a trap! Guilloud: That honorless count set this trap to take your life, young sir! Louverance: Explain this treachery! Guilloud: I heard word that those vicious Tonberries had been released under the pretense of dealing with an interloping brigand. Guilloud: They described the bandit as a male Elvaan wearing a mask and bright brigandine armor. Louverance: ... Louverance: Once a thief, always a thief. It seems he is not content with stealing just my name! Guilloud: Sir Louverance? Louverance: If you meet this man, give him a message: If you would call yourself a knight, then you must seek a just cause to champion! Louverance: Farewell! Louverance: Lord/Lady Player name... I must apologize. It appears you have defeated the Tonberries meant for my demise. Louverance: You are a most resourceful ally. I will be sure to return the favor in the future. Louverance: You say that Master Cid requires my presence in Bastok? I must say, gathering lumber was never my most cherished activity in any case. Louverance: At last, we journey to the celestial capital of Al'Taieu. Our confrontation with the Keeper of the Apocalypse is at hand. Louverance: Let us finish this battle forthwith. If I am to follow the path of the knight, I must see justice done as a true knight should. Louverance: And there is no higher cause than saving the would from destruction... Wouldn't you agree, Louverance Mistalle? |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Calm Before the Storm - Bibiki Bay |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |Shikaree Z: You dispatched that creature for me? Not what you expected to find, I'd imagine. Shikaree Z: It slithered up while I was looking for ore, but I let it get away from me. Shikaree Z: I'm not physiologically predisposed to dealing with squishy, slimy things like that. I'm glad you came along... Shikaree Z: Hm? Cid has called us back from material hunting? Shikaree Z: So, the battle with the Keeper of the Apocalypse is nigh. Shikaree Z: No mention is made of the Twilight God in Mithran legend. Shikaree Z: Is our enemy so dreadful that his name was withheld from the history books? Or is it because...? Shikaree Y: Well, well! You sound defeated before you've even begun, kittenpie. Shikaree X: Yeah, buck up, Sis! I've been honing my skills to perrrfection. With the thrrree of us together, the keeper won't stand a chance! Shikaree Z: Shikaree Y. Shikaree X. Shikaree Z: I can't allow you to accompany me. Shikaree X: Huh!? Shikaree Y: What do you mean, sugar? Shikaree Z: We traveled to this continent with three distinct objectives: Shikaree Z: The subduing of the wyrms that threaten the world with destruction; to learn more of the sleeping gods--they who hold the power to obliterate the Emptiness; to discover the location of Mildaurion--she who knows the method for waking those deities. Shikaree Z: But I have learned this on our journey: Shikaree Z: All paths lead to the Keeper of the Apocalypse. All sins can be placed at the feet of Promathia. Shikaree Z: The Twilight God. The deity responsible for thrusting the world into conflict. Shikaree Z: If conflict can be defined as fighting, then we sin hunters understand the meaning of this curse better than anyone. Shikaree Z: The reason we fight... For faith, justice, courage, hope... For that irreplaceable quality which defines our existence... Shikaree Y: That would be... Shikaree X: You can't mean... Shikaree Z: The sin of Promathia may have been to make us what we are. And so the act of judging that sin would be a crime unto itself. Shikaree Z: I must make certain of this matter. I have long considered the possibility among this companionship, and so might survive the consequences if it turns out to be true. Shikaree Z: You are not to take up the burden of my agony. Your duty is to protect the homeland. Never forget that. Shikaree Z: Continue on your mission. I leave the matter of the wyrms and the sleeping gods to you. Shikaree Y: ... Shikaree Y: You never change, Sister dear. Always taking the sweetest parrrts for yourself... Shikaree X: Sis! Make sure you come back to us! Until the day I surpass your skill, you're the image I strrrive for! Shikaree Z: Good hunting. Shikaree Z: Now, Player name. There is one thing I'd like you to know. Shikaree Z: My rrreal name is Mhag. Shikaree Z: Remember that for when I die not as a sin hunter, but as a simple Mithran woman. Shikaree Z: I'll meet you back in Cid's laboratory. |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Calm Before the Storm (pt.2) - Metalworks |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |Cid: This...this is astounding! This is a working example of the ancients' theories... Cid: Hm? You've been to see Louverance and Shikaree Z? I knew I could count on you, Player name! Cid: Now I can concentrate fully on my analysis... Prishe: Whoah! Old Cid's brain has gone into overdrive. All those numbers are making me dizzy! Prishe: Looks like the crystal thingamabob will be back in working order in no time! Ulmia: One other thing, Player name... Ulmia: Prishe and I have used the time granted to us by Altana's grace to compose these letters. Ulmia: There is one addressed to Granpere, one for the Tavnazian patrol, and one for all the citizens of the safehold. Ulmia: I hesitate to ask after all you have done, but would you deliver these letters to Sueleen in the Sealion's Den? Prishe: I tried to convince her she was wastin' her time with these sappy messages, but you know how Ulmia gets. Prishe: Tell Sueleen to hand out the letters if we don't make it back. She can be trusted to do as we ask. Prishe: Thanks a bunch, Player name! |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Calm Before the Storm - Sealion's Den |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |Sueleen: You were asked to deliver all these letters from Ulmia and Prishe? Sueleen: And I'm supposed to hand them out if those two fail to return...? Sueleen: Where on Vana'diel are they thinking of going? You're not seriously thinking of taking on the wyrms...!? Justinius: Sueleen, look sharp! An airship is entering the port! Tressia: There's a whole lot more of them circling above. What the hell's going on? Justinius: That ship... Prishe: Hey, Player name! Check it out! That old man Cid's a genius! Prishe: The airship's been rebuilt shinier than Despachiaire's bald spot. Hell, with the autopilot Cid installed, it's even better than before! Prishe: We even got an escort from the Jeuno Armada! C'mon, let's get this baby back in the air! Justinius: Where are you off to this time, Prishe? Prishe: Heh heh! We're bound for the fifth mothercrystal and beyond! Next stop: the legendary city of Al'Taieu! Prishe: The place where ten thousand years of history began. Justinius: To where...!? You better make it back here alive, Prishe! Prishe: No sweat! I'll be back making trouble before you know it. Let's go, Player name! Prishe: The new and improved Celestial Invincible Delver C.I.D. is ready for takeoff! |}
