Cutie Reborn

Cagliostro's sister was a true genius herself, going so far as to master existential dissolution. Seeing the uses that this skill could have, Cagliostro decides to search places her sister might have left clues in.



A pair of emaciated siblings reside in an old, dilapidated, dust-covered house.
The older brother, seated on a straw bed, suffers violent bouts of spasmic coughing. His little sister does her best to soothe his pain, constantly massaging his back.
Cagliostro: Ack, ugh...
Cagliostro's Sister: Brother, you should get more rest.
Cagliostro: Cough... Ngh...
The pain's not so bad today...
Cagliostro's Sister: But...
Cagliostro: Hey, don't look so down... How's the search for salt and purple flowers going?
Cagliostro's Sister: I managed to find some. But what do you need these for anyway?
Cagliostro: There's a few things I want to try. I'll be mixing magic, hexes, and traditional medicine.
Cagliostro's Sister: So you came up with new ideas? Do you think you'll be able to cure the illness?
Cagliostro: Cure? No, I'm going to get rid of it—not just the sickness, but my entire body.
Cagliostro's Sister: You're throwing away your body? I don't get it, but it sounds scary...
Cagliostro: Look, I have to do it. I'm not sure it'll work, but it's not like we have other options.
Cagliostro: I don't care what the others in the village say! I refuse to die such a painful, meaningless death!
Cagliostro's Sister: O-okay... I'm with you on this.
Cagliostro's Sister: Is there anything else you need? I'll do everything I can to help!
Cagliostro: Shazam!
Cagliostro's Sister: Wow! Your body really changed into something else entirely!
Cagliostro: I'm only getting started here! There's so much more I can do with alchemy.
Cagliostro's Sister: Alchemy? Is that the name of this technique?
Cagliostro: Yep, I came up with the name. No one else has ever done something like this before.
Cagliostro's Sister: Yeah? You're incredible, Br—I mean, Sister!
Cagliostro: Call me what you will. I've always thought of myself as a bit of a genius, but now I've proven it.
Cagliostro: I'll teach you how to do it too. If this goes well, we could strike it rich!
Cagliostro's Sister: I suppose that's true. But, well...
Cagliostro's Sister: It's okay. I don't really have a need for alchemy. Not like we're having trouble making ends meet anymore anyway.
Cagliostro: Heh, you always did lack ambition.
Cagliostro: But you have the talent. Why not think of it as learning something new? I'm sure you'll come to enjoy it.
Cagliostro's Sister: You think so?
Cagliostro: Huff... Huff...
Cagliostro: Crap, my body's stuck... What the hell have I gotten myself into?
Cagliostro: Existential dissolution, huh...
Needs work, but it's not half-bad... Sure wasn't expecting to see my sister's direct descendant in on this though.
Cagliostro: ...!
Cagliostro: Humph... I'll play along with your little put-Cagliostro-away game.
Cagliostro: But I'll be back one day. You worthless scum can live cowering in fear until then.
Cagliostro: Mwahaha... When that day comes, heads will roll.
Cagliostro: Aaahahaha...
Cagliostro is a crew member, Cagliostro (Halloween) is a crew member, Cagliostro (Event) is a crew member

And thus she was sealed away for hundreds of years.
Ever since Lyria broke Cagliostro's seal, she has been traveling with (Captain) and company. Things, however, reached a turning point with a certain incident.
Cagliostro not in crew, Cagliostro (Halloween) not in crew, Cagliostro (Event) not in crew

And thus Cagliostro, the founder of alchemy, was sealed away by the Alchemist Guild of Helmuth.
It was a guild created by Cagliostro's disciples for their mutual benefit.
At one point in time they grew to harbor corrupted ideals, and they would resort to anything to satisfy their morbid curiosities.
Although the guild did manage to seal away Cagliostro, it was not permanent.
Lyria: Huh? Wh-what did I just...
Lyria: Eek! What's happening here?
Vyrn: Th-this is bad, you guys... I think we might've undone the seal from earlier!
???: Cough... Cough... Finally the seal's been lifted...
Cagliostro: Looks like those scum have actually learned a thing or two...
Cagliostro: Oh, hey! Are you guys the ones who lifted the seal for me?
Lyria: Umm... Yeah, I think so...
Cagliostro: Thanks a bunch! Some mean old guys locked me up in here, so I've been suffering allll this time!
Coming back to the world after so many centuries, Cagliostro shows a keen interest in the crew and allies herself with them.
In the midst of their travels, however, a certain incident brings about a turning point.
Cagliostro: Ooh! What is it, (Captain)? Is there something you want to ask me about?
Cagliostro: Teehee, you're just dying to know, aren't you? I'd love to tell you about my new body, but...
Cagliostro: Oh, what to do...
Cagliostro: All right, I've decided! I'm making a special exception just for you, (Captain)!
Cagliostro: It's kind of embarrassing, but I really want you to know ev-ery-thing about me. Teehee.
Vyrn: Wha? Hey, let us in on the details too! Are you sure you're feeling okay?
Cagliostro: Tsk... I don't need any winged blabbermouths butting in. Great, now I'm in a bad mood.
Lyria: Yikes! I guess that incident really did change you.
Cagliostro: Gee whiz... You, on the other hand, are the walking personification of naivete.
Cagliostro suffered an attack from the Alchemist Guild of Helmuth only days earlier.
Her little sister's descendant, Clarisse, protected her with an alchemic feat known as existential dissolution.
This caused Cagliostro to lose her body temporarily, which is why the crew is so worried about her condition.
Cagliostro: I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm fine.
Cagliostro: By the time my body came back together, the existential dissolution had already optimized my being at the subatomic level.
Vyrn: Optimized at the subatomic level? You just lost me.
Cagliostro: To put it in layman's terms: a complete cleansing of the body.
Cagliostro: Just look at me! Can't you see how well-optimized I am?
Lyria: Um, what part of you?
Cagliostro: Do I have to spell out everything? Fine then, keep those eyeballs wide open for what I'm about to show you.
Cagliostro: My bright, silky hair!
Cagliostro: My smooth, satin skin!
Cagliostro: Cagliostro metamorphosized to perfection!
Cagliostro: Alchemizing to the ends of the skies!
Vyrn: Silky?
Lyria: Satin?
Cagliostro: Back off, you fools! You still don't get it, do you?
Cagliostro: Comparing me to my old self is like comparing a lizard to Bahamut—I'm sooo much better now!
Vyrn: Hm? I see what you mean by appearance, but what else is different about you?
Cagliostro: Well... For one thing I think the balance of my powers is a bit off.
Cagliostro: But don't forget I'm a super genius! I was totally omnipotent to begin with, so a little change there won't make a difference!
Cagliostro: Also I see my sister in my dreams every night...
Cagliostro: ...
Lyria: Hm? In your dreams?
Cagliostro: Yeah...
Cagliostro: Though it might be more accurate to call them recollections rather than dreams.
Cagliostro: Being dissolved and brought back together so suddenly has jumbled together my memories—both new and old.
Vyrn: Are you really gonna be okay like this? You mentioned your sister... Is she the one who had the same power as Clarisse?
Cagliostro: I don't know if the existential dissolution brought about these recollections, or if it's because Clarisse looks just like her...
Cagliostro: I wake up depressed every morning just remembering what an annoying little brat I used to be.
Cagliostro: And I'm reminded every night that I'd have died a miserable death without my sister's help.
Lyria: Cagliostro...
Cagliostro: But, hey, it's not all doom and gloom. Dreams can be pretty enlightening too.
Cagliostro: I promised Clarisse this not too long ago, but I'm going to have to really learn the ins and outs of existential dissolution if I'm going to teach her alchemy.
Cagliostro: And no one knows more about that than my late sister. I'll have to search the places she might've left clues in.
Vyrn: You can count on us to help! I can already tell you're gonna be a great teacher!
Cagliostro: I'll manage somehow. Don't you know? I'm a super genius when it comes to teaching too.
Cagliostro: Just wait till I learn how to use existential dissolution myself...
Cagliostro: My hair will be forever shiny and my skin forever perky! Teehee!
Lyria: Ahahaha! I'd love to see your perky skin when that happens!
And so Cagliostro re-embarks on the skyfaring journey with her new body.
Next destination: a place her sister held dear.
