Handsome Gorilla - Chapter 1: Artist's Retreat - Episode 3
Milleore and Sahli Lao drop in to help and are bewildered to see Lunalu and company acting like gorillas. Yet surprisingly progress on the manuscript is coming along nicely. The newcomers also decide to indulge in some Handsome Gorilla.
Lunalu, Melissabelle, Mahira, and Sierokarte all decide to take a mysterious dietary supplement called Handsome Gorilla.
About a half hour later, the rest of the illustration support team arrives on the scene.
Milleore is a crew member
Milleore: How's it coming? We brought food.
Milleore not in crew
???: How's it coming? We brought food.
Sahli Lao is a crew member
Sahli Lao: It's a Sphiria specialty. If you're at a good stopping place, why don't you take a break?

Milleore not in crew
Milleore is a talented archer who once belonged to her local military. More recently she has sold her bow as an agent.
Cool and collected but with a strong sense of duty and a warm heart, she was more or less hired by the crew. During her time onboard the Grandcypher, she has also become close with Lunalu.
Sahli Lao not in crew
Sahli Lao used to serve alongside Milleore in their local military and is now on a journey to hone her skills as a fighter.
When she met the crew, she was also reunited with Milleore and made friends with Lunalu.
The two set the takeout they've purchased on the desk and get their first proper look at their friends.
Lunalu: Ooh-ooh!
Mahira: Ooh-ooh, ah-ah!
Sierokarte: Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah, then.
Milleore: ...
Sahli Lao: ...
Lunalu: Ooh-ah? That smells good, ah-ah!
Mahira: Ooh-ooh-ah? Ah-ooh-ooh!
Sierokarte: Welcome back, you two! Ooh-ah!
Milleore: Wh... What's going on here?
Sahli Lao: I don't have a clue... Did they snap from overwork?
Melissabelle: No, I'm fine. What happened was, Sierokarte offered us some—
Milleore: You're clearly not fine!
Milleore: Why is your hair doing that?
Melissabelle: What, this? My hair seemed to absorb all the effects of the supplement. I was surprised too, but that's sort of how my body works.
Sahli Lao: Oh, that's right... I was so startled it slipped my mind.
Sahli Lao: But what supplement are you talking about? That bottle sitting on the floor?
Melissabelle: Yes, it was a free sample of a new dietary supplement called Handsome Gorilla.
Melissabelle: Lunalu needed a motivation boost, and the rest of us ended up joining her.
Lunalu: Ooh-ooh, aaah-aaah!
Milleore: Sigh...
So that's why everyone seems so oddly agitated. I suppose this supplement is effective.

Sahli Lao: Ahaha... I'm glad Lunalu perked up, but can she really draw in this condition?
Melissabelle: Well, about that...
Mahira: Ooh-ah. Ooh-ooh-ah!
Milleore: What've you got there, Mahira?
Milleore: And please stop walking on all fours!
Mahira: Ooh-ah...
Sahli Lao: Oh, it's the latest version of the manuscript! It's really coming along!
Melissabelle: Lunalu said she's never finished pages this quickly before. Mahira's work is also going at a good clip, so I suppose the supplement did energize them.
Milleore: Yes... Perhaps it's a little too effective though.
Melissabelle: Well, it's supposed to give you the vigor of a wild animal after all! Oh, do you two want to try some? It's an instant power-up.
Sahli Lao: U-us? Y'know, I'd rather not...
Mahira: Ooh-ooh?
Sahli Lao: Although... Now that you mention it, the ability to concentrate better certainly is attractive...
Sahli Lao: Hmmm... I'm not sure...
Sierokarte: Not to worry!
Sahli Lao: Siero! You're speaking normally again.
Sierokarte: Hehe. Once your system adjusts to the supplement, you're back to normal.
Sierokarte: I think it also depends on your constitution. Mahira had never tried supplements before.
Sahli Lao: Oh, is that why! There certainly is a visible difference in the effects...
Milleore: Well, you're always so self-possessed to begin with, Siero. And you're probably already accustomed to taking supplements.
Sierokarte: Hehe, do you think so? At any rate, here's your Handsome Gorilla!
Sahli Lao: Ah, thank you. Hmm... This is definitely a little intimidating...
Milleore: Don't make such a fuss, Lao. Think of it as an exercise in self-mastery.
Milleore: If you lower your heart rate before drinking it, it shouldn't run through your bloodstream too quickly.
Sahli Lao: Self-mastery? I see. You're right as always, Milly!
Milleore: Haha. Well then, let's drink up...
