Encounters in... #1
A naked woman named Amira falls onto the deck of the Grandcypher one afternoon. She's trying to get to Helheim to meet her mother, but she doesn't know how to get there, so the crew decides to help her.
(Captain) stands on the deck of the Grandcypher, enjoying the gentle breeze as lunch is being prepared.
It's another a quiet, peaceful afternoon. Or so it seems.
Vyrn: Nice weather, huh? Days like today are made for nappin'.
Lyria: Vyrn! (Captain)! Lunch is ready!
Vyrn: Oh! Guess my nap can wait until I'm full! Let's go, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Huh? What's wrong? You see a bird up there or something?
(Captain) stares at something in the distant sky above them. As the once small blot grows larger, it seems—strangely enough—to take on a vaguely human shape.
Vyrn: Whoa! It's comin' right for us!
Lyria: Aah! What is that—
With a thundering boom—and crackling sounds that hint of hours of ship repairs—the object makes contact with the deck.
The group approaches; breath bated, mouths agape. There, veiled in lighting and smoke, they find anything but what they were expecting.
???: ...
Lyria: I-is... that a.... p-person?
Vyrn: Naked women falling from the sky? I've heard of it raining cats and dogs, but this...
???: ...
???: My compass is broken.
???: How will I ever get to Helheim now?
Lyria: Um! Excuse me, miss! Are you all right? Are you hurt?
???: You. Do you know where Helheim is?
Lyria: Wha? Helheim?
???: Yes, Helheim. That's were I need to go. So—
Katalina: Lyria! What was that noise?
???: ...
Katalina: Huh? Wh-who's she?
Rackam: All right, all right. What's all the ruckus out h—
Rackam: Hng! Who's the girl?
Rackam: Whoa. And why's she nud—
Hey!
Hey!
Katalina rushes over to cover Rackam's eyes, but not before he manages to get an eyeful.
Katalina: Ahem... You go inside, Rackam.
Rackam: Hey, wait! It's not like I was—
Rackam frantically tries to clear up the suspicions cast upon him. Katalina grabs him by the collar and drags him back toward his quarters.
???: Hey, could you answer my question?
Lyria: W-we should talk later! Right now we need to find you some clothes before you catch a cold! I'll go fetch some of mine!
???: Wait! What about Helh—
???: ...!
Ugh...
Ugh...
Vyrn: Hm? Lady? Hey, lady! Stay with us here!
Lyria: Are you okay? I knew it; you're hurt, aren't you?
???: Uhn...
Lyria: Oh no! Where does it hurt?
???: Un... gry...
???: So... hungry...
The girls bring the woman inside and dress her, while the boys set the table for the food. When they all gather to eat, however...
???: Nom nom! Munch munch!
Rackam: Uh... You do know we were supposed to share all that, right? And where are you even puttin' all that?
Katalina: Just who in the skies are you?
Amira: Me? I'm Amira!
Vyrn: So, uhh... this falling from the sky business a regular thing for you?
Amira: ...!
A red lizard.
A red lizard.
Amira pinches Vyrn's tail and gazes at him with apparent fascination. Something seems to occur to her.
Amira: He so... soft and squishy...
Amira: Looks tasty!
Vyrn: Hey! No way!
Amira: Chomp!
Vyrn: Ack! Hey! Watch it with those teeth! I ain't no snack!
Katalina: Come over here, Vyrn! Oh, you poor baby.
Though there are many suspicious things about her, Amira doesn't strike the crew as a bad person.
However, they can't help but be puzzled by her strange demeanor.
Katalina: She's quite the mystery, I must say. Do we know anything that might help us understand more about her?
Lyria: Oh! Well, she did say she wants to go a certain... Helheim? I think?
Katalina: Helheim... Could that be the name of some sort of location?
Lyria: I'm not sure myself. Rackam, do you know anything about this?
Rackam: Ahh... Sorry, never even heard of it.
Vyrn: Hmm... Now that you mention it...
Vyrn: I think I heard about it from (Captain)'s dad once. He said it's a really cold place.
Amira: So you do know about it!
Vyrn: Aahh!
Amira: Where is it? Tell me!
Vyrn: I only know what the old man told me. I've never actually been there.
Amira: You don't know where it is?
Lyria: Why are you searching for Helheim, Amira?
Amira: If I go there, I can meet my mother.
Lyria: Oh... So you want to see your mother.
Amira: I don't actually remember anything about her.
Amira: But when I hold this pendant in my hand, something stirs in my memory, and I can almost see her.
Lyria: Wow! What a pretty pendant!
Amira: My mother has one just like it. I hope I can meet her soon.
Amira: But my compass is broken, and I don't know where Helheim is.
Katalina: Sounds like quite a challenging situation.
Amira: Can't this ship make it to Helheim? Your father knows about it, right?
Choose: We might be able to go there...
Amira: Truly? Then please take me with you!
Lyria: I think we should bring her too, (Captain)!
Lyria: If I were in her shoes... If I ever got separated from you or Katalina... I can't imagine how difficult it would be searching for you all on my own.
Lyria: I don't know what it's like to have a mother, but I know what it's like to be alone!
Amira is relieved to finally see a possibility of reaching Helheim. Almost as if in response, her stomach gives a loud growl.
Choose: We told you we don't know where it is.
Amira: Ugh...
Lyria: Um... I know we can't promise to take you there right this moment...
Lyria: But I'll help you search for Helheim in any way I can!
Amira: Really?
Lyria: If I were in your shoes... If I ever got separated from (Captain) or Katalina... I can't imagine how difficult it would be searching for them all on my own.
Lyria: I don't know what it's like to have a mother, but I know what it's like to be alone!
Katalina: Lyria...
Lyria: That's why you've just got to help her, (Captain). Please!
Lyria: Yay! We'll have so much fun, Amira!
Amira: Thank you!
Amira is relieved to finally see a possibility of reaching Helheim. Almost as if in response, her stomach gives a loud growl.
Lyria: No... No way! Absolutely not! You have to help her!
Lyria: I'm going to stand firm until you say yes!
Katalina: Ha-ha... This is just one of (Captain)'s typical jokes.
Amira is so hurt that she can't speak, and Lyria seems absolutely appalled with (Captain).
(Captain) apologizes to both of them for saying such mean things and allows Amira to join the crew. Lyria and the others are thrilled to hear it.
Lyria: Yay! We're going to have so much fun together, Amira!
Amira: Thank you!
Amira: But you're still a meanie, (Captain).
Amira is relieved to finally see a possibility of reaching Helheim. Almost as if in response, her stomach gives a loud growl.

Amira: I'm hungry!
Lyria: Hee-hee. Amira! Please eat this too if you want!
Vyrn: Hey! That's my apple pie!
Rackam: Sigh... Looks like we have another bottomless well of a mouth to feed. But I guess that's fine.
Rackam: Jokes aside, (Captain) never abandons anyone in trouble.
Katalina: And now we have one more friend. If you need something cooked, I'm always happy to help, be it day or night!
Amira: No thanks.
Katalina: What? W-why?
Amira: Just because.
The enigmatic Amira seems to have used her mysterious perception to sense the danger of Katalina's cooking.
And so onward they go to Estalucia, to seek (Captain)'s father, and to seek the clues of Helheim he might hold.
