Apple Capriccio
Meteon is limiting his food consumption in preparation for his next race, but Vyrn and Lyria have accidentally eaten his personal apple stash. To make amends to the distraught racer, the crew races to a nearby island to buy more apples.
A short time has passed since Meteon joined the crew.
Lyria: Hee hee! I'm totally stuffed!
Vyrn: Whew... Me too!
Meteon: Oh? I was looking for you guys.
Meteon peeks his head into the Grandcypher's mess hall, where (Captain) and the crew are finishing a meal.
Lyria: Huh? Did you want to eat with us, Meteon?
Meteon: Nah, that's not it.
Vyrn: Still not eating, huh? Boy, being a racer must be tough. Trying to reduce weight, I take it?
Meteon: Yeah. Got a race coming up.
Meteon is heading with the crew to a nearby island to participate in a small skyrace tournament.
Vyrn: Hmm... I bet you must be starving! Seems rough!
Meteon: Of course. It's not as harsh as it might seem. It is challenging though.
Lyria: Hm... I'm not sure I understand.
Meteon: If your strength and concentration worsen, all the weight reduction in the world doesn't mean squat. Achieving a good balance is particularly hard.
Vyrn: Gotcha... Hm? Something in the cupboards you're looking for?
Meteon: Hm... Strange. There should be plenty left.
Lyria: Plenty of what?
Meteon: Apples.
Vyrn: Buh?
Meteon: Apples are the big thing I have to look forward to when I'm cutting weight. I bought a bunch the day before, but...
Meteon: Yeah. I'm not seeing any. Where'd they go?
Lyria: Oh dear... Vyrn?
Vyrn: Uh-oh...
Meteon: Hm? Something up?
Vyrn: Um, well... This isn't the easiest thing to admit right now, but... I probably ate 'em.
Meteon: Huh? All of them? But there were so many!
Lyria: Um, actually... (Captain) and I helped out too.
Meteon: Seriously? (Captain) too?
Lyria: Hey! Don't try to get out of this, (Captain)!
Vyrn: No way, no how! I handed you a few of those succulent crimson orbs myself!
Vyrn: Okay, I'll own up to it! I found the apples and asked everyone to eat them with me...
Lyria: No, Vyrn! I-I was the one who invited (Captain) to join in!

Meteon: Listen. It's okay.
Lyria: Oh, I'm so sorry...
Vyrn: My bad, man. When I saw all those apples, I just kind of lost myself. If I knew they were yours...
Meteon: ...
Meteon falls silent, but his suffering is not lost on (Captain) and company.
An incredible noise erupts from the general direction of Meteon's stomach.
Meteon: Urk...
Lyria: I'm so sorry! Um...
Vyrn: Oh, I know! Let's head to that island over there and buy some apples!
Lyria: Yes! Let's do that!
Apple Capriccio: Scene 2
Bandits have taken over the only road to a nearby village, preventing the transport of apples from one village to another. Starving from apple denial, Meteon sets off to defeat the bandits and restore the island's flow of apples to normal.
The crew arrives at a nearby island and visits the small village there.
Lyria: Wow, it's so small!
Vyrn: I bet they at least sell apples though.
They take a peek into a small grocery. What they find... is disappointment.
Meteon: Nothing.
Lyria: Seems that way.
Vyrn: Hmm... They barely have anything for sale. What happened here?
Villager: Terribly sorry. There's nothing here for you.
Lyria: What happened? The people here must be suffering terribly!
Villager: Sigh... If you must know...
A narrow mountain path connects the two villages on the island.
Unfortunately for the villagers, a gang of bandits has taken up shop along the path, cutting off supplies.
Lyria: Oh no... If this keeps up, the village is going to...
Villager: Yes. We're at the end of our ropes.
Meteon: Let's go.
Vyrn: H-hey! Where are you heading?
Meteon: To find these bandits or whatever, obviously! That's what skyfarers do, right?
Lyria: Yes! Let's go!
Vyrn: We'll do something about those bandits!
Villager: Oh my goodness, you're skyfarers? Thank you so much. We're counting on you!
Vyrn: We've got this! We'll be back before you know it!
Lyria: Hm... Is this the path the person from the village mentioned? I wonder where those bandits are.
Meteon: ...
Lyria: Oh my gosh!
Bandit 1: Hey, youse! If you wanna get through here, cough up everything you've got!
Bandit 2: Bweh heh heh... Do what we say, and nobody has to get hurt... Probably!
Vyrn: Speak of the devils!
Meteon: Listen up.
Meteon takes a step forward as he growls the following...
Meteon: I am really not in the mood for this right now.
Bandit: Huh? What's your problem, jerk?
Meteon: Do what we say... and you're still gonna get hurt!
Apple Capriccio: Scene 3
With the bandits defeated, a very hungry Meteon rushes to a nearby village to finally partake of the apples he wanted from the beginning. He also apologizes to the crew and promises to properly label any future apples he purchases in the future.
Vyrn: Bandits: busted!
Lyria: Hee hee! Those villagers should be able to breathe a sigh of relief after this!
Meteon: Sigh... Let's get going.
Vyrn: Wait a sec! Aren't we gonna go and let the villagers know?
Meteon: Later. If I don't eat something now, I'm going to collapse.
Lyria: Hahaha... I bet! With the bandits out of the way, we can let them know whenever we want.
The crew reaches the village on the other side of the mountain and immediately heads out to buy some apples.
Meteon: Chomp...
Meteon: Haah... I feel alive again!
Vyrn: As a fellow apple fanatic, I know exactly how you feel right now!
Lyria: Wow... I'm just glad you were able to buy some apples, Meteon!
Vyrn: Got that right. Um... I'm really sorry about eating your apples earlier, champ.
Lyria: Me too...
Meteon: It's fine. I'm sorry for making you tag along on this.
Meteon: I'm the one who put those apples I bought in the shared cupboard after all.
Meteon: Fange and Elly didn't like apples, so I never paid it much mind.
Meteon: But I'm living with a lot more people now that I'm on the Grandcypher. Including Vyrn.
Meteon laughs before pulling an apple out of his grocery bag and handing it to Vyrn.
Meteon: Here.
Vyrn: Huh? You sure?
Meteon: Hahaha! After coming this far, there's no way I'm hogging them all to myself.
Vyrn: Heck yeah! It's apple time!
Meteon: Here's one for you, Lyria. And you, (Captain).
Lyria: Hooray! Thank you!
Meteon: I'll be sure to write my name on anything I put in the cupboard from now on.
Vyrn: Haha! And I'll be sure to check before chowing down next time!
(Captain) and the crew laugh as they enjoy their hard-earned apples.
