Chock-Full of Love

During their outing in town, Ladiva spots special cocoa wine that'd be perfect for Raduga's special Valentine's menu, while Lyria and Phoebe gain inspiration on the sort of sweets to make from the various chocolates and ribbons on display.



Though Valentine's Day is fast approaching, Lyria and Phoebe are still undecided about their choice of gifts.
Ladiva has come with the two to town, hoping they will find some inspiration.
Lyria: Wow, this is amazing! So many shops are dealing in Valentine's merchandise!
Ladiva: This island's rich in trade. We're fortunate the crew happened to have a job to do here.
Lyria: With so much to see, I don't even know where to start!
Ladiva: Haha, we can start by window-shopping.
Phoebe: Are you looking for anything yourself, Ladiva?
Ladiva: I was thinking of offering something special on Raduga's menu for Valentine's Day.
Ladiva: Candy did cross my mind, but we only open up the subgalley late at night.
Ladiva: And some might not be too keen on the idea of eating sweets before going to bed.
Phoebe: That's right... The crew members who stop by seem to prefer savory foods anyway.
Lyria: Also, I get the impression that alcohol isn't really something that goes well with sweets.
Ladiva: Then again, there are some who like their whiskey with chocolate, so it really depends.
Ladiva: Love chatting with you two, but it's time we started walking! There's so much to see.
Phoebe: Well then... Let's—
Lyria: Go!
They begin touring the marketplace, keeping an eye out for anything that may be of interest.
Phoebe: Aw, this place's chocolate is so adorable... It's like flower petals are scattered all over... I wonder how they make it.
Ladiva: I'm guessing it's dried fruit crushed and mixed together. Sure looks fancy!
Phoebe: Ah...
Oh, look. This chocolate contains a bit of alcohol.
Phoebe: But neither Morphe, Seox, or Jamil drink alcohol. I should probably look for something else.
Lyria: True! It's best to go with something they'd like!
Lyria: Ah!
Lyria: This ribbon is (Captain)'s favorite color!
Ladiva: How lovely! I must say I'm impressed, Lyria! You really know the captain's tastes inside out, huh?
Lyria: Ehehe...
Phoebe: If you're going to pick that, Lyria, I recommend this box to go with it. They make a perfect match.
Lyria: Oh, you're right! Its laid-back color makes the ribbon stand out that much more!
Phoebe: Though I also wonder if a brighter color might be better... What do you think, Ladiva?
Ladiva: If I had to pick...
Ladiva: Hm?
Ladiva stops before a liquor store offering free promotional samples in cup-form.
Ladiva: I thought I smelled chocolate. And here we have wine made with cocoa beans.
Phoebe: Is it sweet? I know I can't drink it, but I'm curious...
Noticing their interest, the clerk hands Ladiva a cup.
Lyria: Ooh, I can smell the chocolate too!
Ladiva: I guess I'll have just a sip then...
Ladiva: Oh my, there's not a hint of sweetness to it. A strange sensation, to be sure.
Phoebe: Well, the cocoa that's used to make chocolate isn't sweet either. It's usually the sugar that makes chocolate so sweet.
Lyria: That explains why it might be a bit bitter even if does smell like chocolate.
Ladiva: You know, this could work. Even those not fond of sweets might like it.
Taking a break at a cafe, the three reflect on the sights of the day.
Ladiva: I might just go with that cocoa wine. Especially since they also accept bulk orders.
Phoebe: Ah, that's right. It'd be unfortunate if we didn't have enough for everyone who wants to try some.
Ladiva: Mm-hm. Valentine's only comes once a year, so I want everyone to take in all the love and drink they want for the occasion!
Lyria: As for me... I really want to show (Captain) that ribbon.
Lyria: So I just might make the chocolate by hand.
Phoebe: Me too. Lots of the fancier shops here put a bit of alcohol in their chocolate...
Phoebe: Maybe we can try that too. I'd especially love to try and make some of that dry-fruit chocolate we saw earlier.
Ladiva: Great ideas, both of them!
Ladiva: It's settled then. Let's go back to that shop once we're done here.
Lyria: Sounds good to me!
Phoebe: Ladiva, Lyria. They have a Valentine's Special on the menu.
Lyria: Ooh! Let's go with that!
Lyria and Phoebe continue discussing how they'll go about making the chocolate, all while enjoying their meal with Ladiva.

Chock-Full of Love: Scene 2

The girls make a stop at the galley to borrow some kitchen implements, where they spot (Captain) and company getting ready to leave. Lyria and Phoebe go on to complete their confections, after which Ladiva gets to work on her own preparations.



Having returned from their little excursion, Ladiva, Lyria, and Morphe step into the galley to borrow some utensils for making confections.
Lyria: We're coming in!
Morphe: Ah...
(Captain), Morphe, and Vyrn stare wide-eyed at the other trio.
Ladiva: Oh! Surprised to see you here too, Captain.
Phoebe: Um... Is it okay if we look for a few kitchen utensils? If we'd be a bother, we can always come back later...
Vyrn: Nah, it's all good! We're just about done here anyway! Right, (Captain)?
Ladiva looks puzzledly at the captain's restless demeanor.
Ladiva: (Is it just me, or is (Captain) acting a bit nervous?)
Ladiva: (Surely it's not concern about whether Lyria will have a Valentine's Day present ready in a few days...)
On the way out with Vyrn and Morphe, (Captain) avoids eye contact with Ladiva.
Ladiva: We have plenty of kitchen implements at Raduga, so let's just borrow what we need.
Phoebe: Uh-huh! For one thing, we'll definitely need a whisk.
They make their way to the subgalley and get to work.
Ladiva: All right, let's start by making sure we have all the ingredients in order! Great cooking is all about love and proper measurement.
Lyria: Okay! We have chocolate, sugar, crushed almonds, and...
Phoebe: Dried fruit, marshmallows, cornflakes, and...
Ladiva watches as the two go about their confection-making.
Phoebe: Wow, you're really going the extra mile with the brownies, Lyria, making chocolate and caramel ones!
Lyria: Ehehe, I'm giving it my best! I just hope they turn out okay in the oven...
Ladiva: If you want to check on the batter to make sure it's being properly baked, it's okay to open up the oven door every now and then.
Phoebe: Given how big the two trays are, it should be fine if the edges get burnt a bit. Will be you cutting the brownies?
Lyria: Mm-hm. After divvying up each batch into smaller pieces, I'll be cutting out a heart shape from the middle of each piece.
Lyria: The chocolate hearts will go into the caramel brownies, while the caramel hearts will go into the chocolate brownies. I think it'll be really cute.
Phoebe: Ooh! I can't wait to see what that looks like!
Ladiva: Brilliant idea, Lyria! I'm sure the colors will really pop.
Ladiva: Ah! Phoebe, I think the chocolate's spent enough time on the double boiler.
Phoebe: Right! Now to pour it over the hardened mix, and then...
Lyria: So you're coating the marshmallows and cornflakes with chocolate, and then adding dried fruit on top of that, I see!
Ladiva: I love the idea that it tastes different depending on where you bite in from. Also, extra points for adding a skewer to make it easier to eat!
Phoebe: It's bigger than I imagined it to be... Better than being too small, I guess.
Ladiva: That's for sure! The point is that it's packed full of your love, Phoebe.
Upon completion, they proceed to gift wrap their confections.
Lyria: It's done!
Phoebe: We did it...
Ladiva: Fantastic work on your Valentine's presents, you two!
Lyria: Ehehe... I hope (Captain) likes it...
Ladiva: I think you have nothing to worry about. One look at your gift shows how much love you put into it.
Ladiva: (Now it's my turn to keep up!)
Ladiva sees off Lyria and Phoebe after cleanup, then begins on her own holiday concoction.
Ladiva: Something that goes well with cocoa wine and is just a bit sweet... Hehe, I've got just the thing!

Chock-Full of Love: Scene 3

(Captain) and Vyrn pay the subgalley a visit one night, hoping to figure out what Ladiva might want for Valentine's. (Captain) ends up promising to enjoy the first sip of alcohol at Raduga upon coming of age.



Late one night before Valentine's, (Captain) and Vyrn show up at Raduga.
Ladiva: (Captain)! Happy to see you here.
Vyrn: Heyo! Jamil had a big assignment this afternoon, so we're havin' him rest up now. You managing Raduga okay on your own?
Ladiva: I'm making do somehow... It's days like this that I realize what a tremendous help Jamil is.
Vyrn: We try not to give you too many assignments since you've also got Raduga, but don't you forget to rest up every now and then too.
(Captain)'s asks if there's anything in particular Ladiva would like.
  1. How about some time off?
  2. Something to eat, maybe?


Choose: How about some time off?

Ladiva: Well, for the time being, I really enjoy running things at Raduga.
Ladiva: But I know what you mean. I'll be sure to take good care of myself!
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Something to eat, maybe?

Ladiva: Haha, with Lowain, Sevastien, and Elmelaura as our chefs...
Ladiva: We have no shortage of fantastic food on the ship! I couldn't ask for anything more.

Continue 1

Ladiva: The fact that you're asking me at all fills me with joy.
Ladiva: Haha, it feels like I've gotten an early Valentine's present.
Seeing Ladiva's bona fide smile, the captain pouts.
Ladiva: Oh my, what have I done. Hope I didn't spoil the mood, (Captain).
Vyrn: (Captain) keeps tellin' me how nice it'd be to see you be a little more indulging sometimes.
Vyrn: Gwuh, what'd you poke me for, (Captain)? Not like this is anything to be embarrassed about!
Ladiva: Captain...
Ladiva: I suppose... I do have one request.
Ladiva's expression curls into a grin as (Captain) leans in.
Ladiva: Once you've come of age, I want Raduga to be the first place you enjoy your alcohol... That's it.
Ladiva: There's going to be countless people who want to drink with you, so just bring them here. Consider this a reservation on my part.
Ladiva: How does that sound?
With a playful wink, Ladiva holds out a pinky. (Captain) returns the gesture.
Ladiva: Wonderful! Just wonderful! I can't wait to see the adult you hanging out at Raduga!
Ladiva: Oh, before I forget, let me get you some refreshments... Anything in particular you two would like?
Vyrn: I'll have apple juice! As for (Captain)...
(Captain) enjoys a drink as well, all the while still mulling over what to get Ladiva for Valentine's.

Chock-Full of Love: Scene 4

On Valentine's Day, (Captain) and company pool all their snacks and hold a tea party for Ladiva. Phoebe takes this chance to give Morphe some chocolate. Ladiva revels in the lovely occasion that is Valentine's.



Valentine's Day has arrived.
Phoebe: (Captain), Lyria, Vyrn!
Morphe: Hope we didn't keep you waiting!
Vyrn: Nah, Lyria just got back too! Done with your gift-giving yet?
Phoebe: Mm-hm! I had plenty to give besides (Captain).
Morphe: I'm sure you made their day, Sis.
Phoebe: There's just a bit more...
  1. Let's get started!


Choose: Let's get started!

Lyria: Yeah!
They set up a table and lay out their confections on it.
Vyrn waits for the water to boil so that they can pour tea for everyone, then leaves the room and returns shortly with a knock.
Vyrn: Here comes our special guest!
All Three: Happy Valentine's Day!
  1. Come on in, Ladiva!


Choose: Come on in, Ladiva!

Ladiva: ...!
Lyria: Our sweets turned out so well because of the advice you gave us every step of the way!
Phoebe: I thought we'd have a tea party together. Would that be okay, Ladiva?
Morphe: I'll make us my special herb tea!
Ladiva: I don't know what to say...
Ladiva: A tea party with you sweethearts is the most wonderful Valentine's Day present in all the skies!
Ladiva: I almost feel sorry to take up your time for such a delightful surprise...
Seeing Ladiva nearly choked up with emotion, (Captain) guides her to a seat.
Vyrn: (Captain) baked these cookies!
Vyrn: We tried to make 'em like the granny next door in Zinkenstill used to make 'em.
Ladiva: Ooh! A taste our captain finds near and dear!
(Captain) feels abashed at offering something of sentimental value.
Vyrn: Hehe, it sure is a nice feeling when a close friend comes to love something as much as you do!
Ladiva: (Captain)...
Ladiva: (Being left without a dad around from a young age, (Captain)'s lived a lonely life...)
Ladiva: (I came into (Captain)'s life at a later stage, so I can't make up for that loneliness...)
Ladiva: (But we can share our past memories and favorite things like this...)
Ladiva: Thank you, (Captain)... I'm happy to learn about something that puts a smile on your face.
Ladiva: To make this fair...
Ladiva: I'm going to share something that I absolutely love!
Ladiva opens up the box she placed on the table, revealing cake within.
Lyria: Ah, that looks so good!
Ladiva: A savory mousse cake. Eat to your hearts' content, everyone!
Vyrn: Hahah! This is turning out to be one heck of a tea party!
Morphe: I'll fetch us the tea!
Phoebe: Wait, Morphe... Over here...
Phoebe hands her last package to Morphe.
Phoebe: I'm always... Um, this is for you. It should go well with the tea.
Morphe: ...!
Morphe: Love you, Sis!
Ladiva: ...
Ladiva: Valentine's Day gives us all the chance to express our love. What a wonderful occasion it is.
Ladiva: Don't you agree, (Captain)?
With a cheery nod, the captain hands out plates to everyone.
Amid their everyday busy schedules, the crew still find time to kick back and enjoy each other's company.
