Scenario:GBVS Prologue

---

Rackam: Phew... That does it for today's mission.

Vyrn: I'm gettin' sick of all these cargo-transporting jobs though.

Io: Well, what else are we gonna do? With so many people away for the holidays, we're working with a skeleton crew here.

Lyria: True. Besides, it wouldn't hurt us to take it easy a little bit ourselves. We don't get much downtime!

To thank the crew for all their hard-won victories, Gran and the others have given everyone a vacation.

With most of the crew members scattered across the Sky Realm on home leave, those left onboard have been taking some easier jobs.

Gran: Sorry I'm late. I just made the mission report.

Rackam: Nice work! You all wanna grab some food?

Gran: Whoa, it's later than I thought. I think we've worked hard enough for today. Let's take a break and pamper ourselves a little.

Vyrn: I like the sound of that! We haven't had a vacation in a while, after all!

Lyria: I hope all our friends are enjoying their holidays...

Rackam: If I recall, Eugen's in Auguste with his veteran buddies. Probably three sheets to the wind from high tide to low tide.

Io: And Rosetta's in Lumacie. She said something about some large-scale pruning.

Vyrn: And Katalina's in Albion, right?

Lyria: Yes, she said she had important business at the military academy.

Io: Oh yeah. Aren't we supposed to go pick her up tomorrow?

Gran: Yep. I'm sure she's anxious to see your smiling face, Lyria.

Rackam: All right! We sail for Albion bright and early tomorrow morning, so no staying up late!

Vyrn: Yeah! Next stop, reunion city!

Lyria: I hope Katalina's doing well...

Elsewhere, in a space sealed away from the Sky Realm, two shadows emerge from the gloom.

Belial: Mornin', Bubs.

Hooded Figure: Ah... Serpent.

Belial: Hey, hang on a sec. I can see you a lot more clearly than usual. Have you been picking away at that seal in there?

Hooded Figure: This contrivance was meant to contain beasts. Hardly a Gordian Knot, and one I can easily unravel.

Belial: You're so clever, Bubs. They might as well have built you a prison out of sand. How dare they.

Hooded Figure: Did you come here to mock me?

Belial: Aww, playing the victim doesn't suit you, big guy. I came to help out an old friend, of course.

Belial: Plus, I thought you'd like to know that the weakening of that seal is having quite the intriguing effect on the skies.

Hooded Figure: Hunh...

Belial: Well, anyway. Looks like that seal's gonna take a little longer to dismantle.

Belial: I'll just have to keep myself amused until then.
Lateeer.

Belial: Sooo... Ready to have a little fun?
