Scenario:Ferry - Snow Cone Frenzy, Coming Up!

Snow Cone Frenzy, Coming Up!

Ferry and crew arrive in Auguste, ready to vacation. As her pets play along the beach, Ferry runs into the patissier she usually sells cakes for. The patissier reveals he's set up a beach house to sell snow cones, but isn't having much luck attracting customers. He asks Ferry for her help, and after a bit of deliberating, she accepts. Before long, Ferry manages to attract more than enough attention—so much so that the beach house is overrun by customers.

Ferry: Beppo! Geegee! Don't wander too far!

Beppo & Geegee: ...!

Ferry: Hehe, I just wanted to make sure, okay?

Despite her scolding, Ferry smiles affectionately at her pets.

The group is currently at the beach in Auguste, ready to enjoy a peaceful summer vacation.

Lyria: I'm so glad everyone's having such a good time!

Ferry: We've never really been on a vacation like this before, so they're very excited.

Vyrn: All the more reason to party it up and have a blast then!

Lyria: I think so too! Ferry, do you want to go for a swim? The water's nice and cool.

Ferry: A swim, hmm? The ocean does look nice, and it should be safe as long as I've got my inner tube. Let me just bring Beppo and Geegee back...

Fugee: !

Ferry: Fugee, no! Where are you taking the inner tube?

Ferry: Good grief... We've been on the beach for five minutes, and they're already misbehaving.

Ferry: I'm sorry, Lyria. I'll get the inner tube back and gather everyone together.

Ferry: Since we took the time to come here, I really would love to go for an ocean swim.

Fugee: ...!

Ferry catches Fugee before long, but the mischievous ghost bounces about happily upon being captured.

Ferry: Did you want to play tag? You should've just told me...

Beppo & Geegee: !

Ferry: Oh, good timing, you two. I was just about to find you next.

Ferry: Why don't we put the pranks on hold and head for the water? Lyria and the others are waiting, and I know you're all eager to swim.

Ghosts: ...!

???: Ah! It's you!

Ferry: Do... I know you? I'm here with friends, so if this is your idea of hitting on someone, you should quit while you're ahead.

???: No, that's not why I waved you down! Don't you recognize me? I'm the patissier—you know, the one you always help around the holidays!

Ferry: The patissier...

Ferry: Oh! That patissier! I'm sorry for jumping to the wrong conclusion...

By an odd turn of events, it's become a custom for Ferry to help sell holiday cakes for this particular patissier.

Trouble arises every year, but with Metera and Narmaya's help, they always manage to sell every last cake.

Ferry: I never expected to run into you here. Are you on vacation too?

Patissier: No, no vacation for me. Just business.

Ferry: So you're trying to sell cakes... at the beach? I'm not sure that's what people are in the mood for here.

Patissier: Hahaha, I won't argue that. Actually, I was struck by inspiration after seeing the lumber jellato that debuted during the food competition.

Patissier: I wanted my own cool treats, so I secured myself a supply of North Vast ice and opened a beach house to sell snow cones!

Ferry: Snow cones! Now that's a perfect fit for Auguste.

Ferry: You even went so far as to secure a source of fresh ice. I guess you must be pretty serious about this.

Patissier: The whole setup is a masterpiece, if I do say so myself. The flavors too, but...

Fierce competition reigns among the myriad beach houses in Auguste. As a newcomer, the patissier is struggling to attract a single customer.

Ferry: (Wait... Don't tell me he's about to...)

Patissier: I get the feeling us meeting right now was no coincidence. What do you say? Would you mind giving me a hand?

Patissier: You'd be compensated, of course! We can work that out later, but... I really could use your help! Please!

Ferry: W-well... Selling snow cones isn't the same as selling cakes, right?

Ferry: I don't think much will change if you put me in charge of the shop.

Patissier: You're the best bet I've got! If I don't get out of the red soon, my main business will start hurting too!

Ferry: I understand that you're in a tough spot, but...

Lyria: Ferry, is everything okay?

Vyrn: What's the big idea, pal? You givin' Ferry a hard time?

Ferry: Lyria! Vyrn! (Captain) too?

Ferry: There's no need to worry. I know this man. He's not exactly giving me a hard time, but...

The group, having come to look for Ferry after noticing her prolonged absence, calms down and listens to her explanation.

Lyria: Oh... That is a tough situation. The snow cones sound so tasty too...

Vyrn: They sure do, huh? All this heat definitely makes ya wanna munch on something nice and cold.

Patissier: Well, that's enough talking about the snow cones then! Let's get you munching on some! Free of charge, of course.

After arriving at the patissier's beach house, the group is served a colorful batch of powdered snow topped with various fruits and syrups.

Lyria: Wow... It's so pretty and tasty looking!

1. It almost feels like a shame to eat it.
2. Yum! I could eat this all day!

Choose: It almost feels like a shame to eat it.

Ferry: Hehe... I understand where you're coming from, but it'll melt if you don't eat it.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Yum! I could eat this all day!

Ferry: I see you're already stuffing your cheeks, Captain. Careful you don't eat too fast and give yourself a brain freeze though.

Continue 1

Lyria: Mmm! The syrup tastes so different from regular snow cones!

Vyrn: I've never had shaved ice this fluffy before...

(Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn keep the compliments coming as they dig into the cold dessert.

Ferry: (Oh! I should probably stop watching and start eating too...)

Before Ferry can indulge herself, however, she notices other people peeking curiously into the store.

Ferry: I suppose I can't accept this kindness without putting in a little work...

Ferry: I'm going to head out in front of the store and try to attract some customers.

Ferry: The sight of you guys eating is drawing people in too, so take your time and savor the treat, okay?

Patissier: Oh, thank you! I promise I'll repay you somehow!

Ferry: Welcome! Would you like a taste of our specially made snow cones?

Ferry: We use ice shipped straight from North Vast! We also have over thirty flavors to choose from, so there's something for everybody!

Tourist 1: Wow, over thirty flavors? That's pretty amazing!

Tourist 2: Hmm, guess it wouldn't hurt to give this place a try. I was just thinking of sitting down for a sec anyway.

Ferry: Thank you very much! I'll show you to your seats!

Patissier: I can't believe it... The house just filled right up in a flash!

Lyria: That's because your dessert's so tasty. Look, everyone's eating with such big smiles on their faces!

Vyrn: Ferry's also working her ears off to keep the customers happy.

Ferry: Will that be all for your order? I'll be back shortly then!

Ferry: One strawberry and one Merkmal fig for table two. Extra syrup for both, but easy on the ice.

Lyria: Haha, she's an employee in everything but name. We'll head outside now and make more room for other customers.

Patissier: Appreciate the consideration. Hey, if you run into any of your friends out there, would you mind putting in a good word for the shop?

Lyria: Sure thing! (Captain), let's go find the other crew members on the beach!

After (Captain) agrees, the three bid farewell to Ferry and the patissier and leave the beach house.

People continue to flow into the beach house, and though business is good, the two manning the shop begin to struggle with the load.

Tourist 3: Hey! When am I gonna get my order?

Ferry: I'm sorry, it'll be there in a minute!

Tourist 4: Yo, what about my snow cone? Can I get it sometime this century?

Ferry: Oh shoot! Boss, the snow cone for table four...

Patissier: Ahh, next is... Is this the takeout order? Wait, no... Agh! I can't keep up!

Trying to serve both the customers eating in and the customers ordering to go is proving to be a tremendous challenge.

Ferry: (We can't handle this many customers... But we can't just ask them to leave either!)

Beppo: ...!

Ferry: Beppo?

Tourist 4: Ah, there's my order. Never seen an employee like you before. What are you, a dog or something?

Ferry: Oh, thank you! Sorry to have to ask you this, Beppo, but can you help me out a little more?

Beppo: ...!

Ghosts: !

Ferry: Hehe... Thanks, guys. With everyone's help, I think we can actually manage this!

Tourist A: Whoa! That place has got a crazy huge line! Must be pretty good, yeah? Wanna give it a try?

Tourist B: Can't hurt to take a look and see what all the fuss is about at least.

Ferry: (That's a lot of people gathering outside... Like a huge wave ready to crash in.)

Ferry: I don't know if we're prepared to handle it...

With much trepidation in her heart, Ferry steels herself for the coming wave.

Irritated Lady: Geez, don't you know this is the line for dining in?

Irritated Woman: No, it's the takeout line! Are you trying to cut with that excuse?

Ferry: P-please calm down, everyone! Where's the person who ordered...

Customer: Hey, I'm pretty sure this ain't my order!

Ferry: I'm sorry! I'll be right there—

Irritated Woman: What? Who's going to help us then!

Beppo: ...!

Beppo and the other ghosts collapse as the swell of orders overwhelms them.

Ferry: Oh no...

Patissier: Ahhh, I can't go on... any longer... My arms are going numb...

Ferry: Even the owner...

Ferry: (The shop is going to go under at this rate.)

Ferry: (There's just not enough hands on deck... We need help in both the front and back.)

Ferry: (But I don't have Narmaya or Metera with me today, and Beppo and the rest are at their limits.)

Ferry: (I'm the only one left standing... There has to be something I can do!)

Before Ferry's eyes, the crowd of customers grows progressively more displeased with each passing second.

It won't be long until the situation reaches a boiling point.
