No Rain, No Rainbow - Chapter 1: Kindly Red - Episode 1
During spring cleaning, the Grandcypher crew discovers a subgalley and restores it to working order. That night, Ladiva uses it to make a midnight snack for (Captain), Lyria, and Jamil. Word of her delicious cooking spreads throughout the crew, and Ladiva ends up in charge of the subgalley.
Shortly before Phoebe stumbled upon the Grandcypher's nightlife...
(Captain) and the crew were taking advantage of a lull between missions to give the ship a thorough spring cleaning.
Vyrn: Blech, this room is stacked full of crates, and you could swim through all the dust...
Lyria: I wonder what's in the boxes...
Lyria: Hyachoo!
Ladiva: Oh dear! Here, Lyria, you can use this cloth to make a mask... like so...
Lyria: Thank you, Ladiva!
Ladiva: You're very welcome! You have to take care of your nose and throat. Captain, I have one for you too.
No version of Ladiva in crew
The woman tending so assiduously to (Captain) and the others' needs is named Ladiva, former star of the casino liner's duel circuit.
Defending the crew against imperial soldiers attracted her some unwanted Erste attention. To avoid causing the casino liner any trouble, she quit her job there.
Since then she has been a staunch ally on the crew's adventures, and her many crew members have given her ample opportunity to exercise her nurturing instincts.
Ladiva: Well, we need these boxes out of the way first if we're going to clean up in here.
Vyrn: I think we left them here the last time we did a spring cleaning 'cause we were worried about all the dust.
(Captain) remembers that these crates were actually here when they began their adventures aboard the Grandcypher.
Ladiva: They've been here that long? We really have our work cut out for us!
Lyria: You're right! What good is spring cleaning if we don't give it our all?
(Captain) and the others move out the crates and clean away all the dust.
Keehar: Well, well! So you conquered this mountain of dust, did you? You must be exhausted!
Vyrn: Hey, Keehar! Thanks for helping out with the spring cleaning!
Keehar not in crew
Keehar once worked as a guardsman for a legendary order of minstrels.
He left that life behind to raise the orphaned granddaughter of an old friend. Now that she is a full-fledged adult, Keehar has returned to adventuring.
His tales of past adventure may be liberally embellished, but his long experience is of great value to the crew.
Keehar: Ha-ha! A mere trifle! This ship is our home! We owe it to ourselves to keep it spotless!
Keehar: But how about this? I didn't expect to find the subgalley tucked away here.
Lyria: Sub... galley?
Keehar: Yes. Ships with as large a crew capacity as the Grandcypher generally have a second kitchen in addition to the main one.
Ladiva: Oh... So that's why there's a water tank and a cooking stove.
Ladiva: Looks like the enchanted components were removed for storage. I wonder if they're in one of these crates.
Vyrn: Let's go crate-diving, (Captain)! The crew's gotten so big lately, we could use another galley!
The crew cracks open the crates one by one, searching for the all-important fire-starter components.
With all hands pitching in, it only takes them a day to get the subgalley in working order.
Vyrn: Zzz...
Jamil: Master? I rarely see you up at this late an hour. Is something wrong?
No version of Jamil in crew
Jamil is a member of the Urzhuwan Clan, assassins who once served the Erste royal family. When they opposed the rise of the empire, they were exiled, and Jamil is now one of the few surviving members.
Injured while attempting to exact revenge for his clan, Jamil was saved by (Captain) and Lyria.
In gratitude, he has sworn loyalty to them both.
Lyria: Mmph... Huh? What're you doing in my room, (Captain)? Oh, Jamil, you're here too?
Jamil: Well...
Jamil: We heard a noise... Was that your stomach growling just now?
Lyria: Ehehe, I'm a little hungry. Want to sneak into the kitchen?
Jamil: No, please wait here and allow me to fetch you a selection of—
Lyria: No, no! The sneaking is the fun part! Right, (Captain)?
Jamil tilts his head quizzically as the two of them share a conspiratorial laugh.
Jamil: I... think I see? At least allow me to accompany you then.
The trio head toward the galley and run into Ladiva, who has pulled the night watch.
Ladiva: Why, whatever has all three of you out of bed so late?
Lyria: Ah! Umm...
Ladiva: Tsk, tsk! Were you hoping to sneak a midnight snack?
Lyria: Ehehe... Well...
Ladiva: Come on now... You know you shouldn't be doing that.
Elmelaura is a crew member
Ladiva: Elmelaura is on cooking duty tomorrow. What's she supposed to do if midnight snackers eat all her ingredients?
Jamil: Please forgive my thoughtlessness.
Ladiva: Well, as punishment, you can help me prepare a snack for everyone who's on watch tonight!
Ladiva: All three of you. Okay?
Lyria: Yaaay!
Um, I mean... Of course we'll help!
Um, I mean... Of course we'll help!
Jamil: I await your command.
Ladiva: Haha, good. Let's see what our subgalley can do!
Lyria: Oh, that's right! Let's go get some ingredients from the main galley!
Redluck is a crew member
Ladiva: Redluck was on cooking duty today, and he said there was some leftover ham.
Ladiva: I have some fresh-baked bread, so maybe I'll make hot sandwiches...
Jamil: If they need to be tested for safety, I volunteer.
Ladiva: You're so helpful! You can tell me if any of the ingredients have gone off.
The three volunteers sit down along with the night watch and eat their fill of Ladiva's midnight snack.
Vyrn: No fair! If you're gonna do something fun, wake me up too!
Jamil: My apologies, Vyrn. You were sleeping so soundly...
Lyria: We'll make sure to take you along next time, Vyrn! Mmm, it was so good! The bite of the mustard mixed in with the butter...
Vyrn: Lyriaaa! You're making me hungry! Quit it!
Ladiva: Hehe, I'll make you one next time, Vyrn.
Vyrn: Really? You promise? Don't get my hopes up now.
Ladiva: Of course, no problem at all. You go ahead and get those hopes all the way up.
Vyrn: Yeaaah!
Vyrn: Hehehe!
Suframare: Haha, you're in high spirits today, Vyrn.
No version of Suframare in crew
This is Suframare, a wandering tutor who lives to teach people to use magic.
Worried for Vyrn, who was unable to advance under her instruction, she joined the crew in order to continue his magical education.
Vyrn: Hehe! Ladiva promised to make me a hot sandwich sometime soon!
Suframare: I see. Ladiva is a talented cook, isn't she? I'm sure it will be delicious!
Vyrn: You bet! If you're free, you should come too, Teach!
Suframare: Thank you for the invitation, Vyrn. Let me know and I'll be glad to come along.
Vyrn is so effusive about the snack Ladiva has promised him that word spreads throughout the crew.
Cain: Hey, Ladiva. Think you could see your way to making me a snack tonight?
Ladiva: I'd be glad to, if you like.
The demand for late-night meals grows so great that she finds herself using the subgalley nightly.
Eventually it seems time to make things official.
Ladiva: You want to put me in charge of the subgalley?
Vyrn: Yeah! You've been making midnight snacks for a while now.
Vyrn: We've been putting in more supplies for the subgalley, and it's about time we picked somebody to keep track of it all.
Ladiva: I suppose someone does need to keep accounts. It's tough for whoever's on cooking duty to answer individual requests for ingredients.
Ladiva: Do you really think I'm the right one for the job though? All I'm really good at is home cooking.
Any version of Lowain is a crew member
Ladiva: Lowain's in charge of the kitchen, isn't he?
Ladiva: When it comes to cooking and managing supplies, he's a professional. I don't want to step on his toes and make a nuisance of myself.
Vyrn: He's got his hands full with the responsibilities he's already got.
Vyrn: So (Captain) figured it'd be better to leave the subgalley to someone else.
Ladiva: True... Feeding so many people is tough—on top of cooking, you have to maintain facilities and manage supplies.
Ladiva: We wouldn't want to overburden Lowain and have him collapse on us.
Lyria: Right. And besides...
Lyria: Everyone's been saying how comforting the taste of your home cooking is, Ladiva!
Lyria: So please say you'll do it!
Ladiva: Oh, Lyria, I'm honored! If it'll help all of you, then I'll gladly take the job.
Ladiva: I always have plenty of the most important ingredient—love!
Vyrn: Hehe! The hungry night owls are counting on ya!
And so Ladiva finds herself in charge of the Grandcypher's subgalley.
