Scenario:Rackam - Mystery Dessert

Mystery Dessert

While in a village confirming the addresses of good children on Santa's list, Rackam buys a cake for everyone to enjoy on the merriest night of the year. He unfortunately ends up eating it too soon with (Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria, but Rosetta makes him pay for his crime later.

---

On the longest night of winter, Santa Claus normally goes around giving presents to all the good children.

But (Captain) and company will be delivering presents instead of the injured Santa Claus this year.

They therefore head to a certain village to check the addresses of the good children on the list Santa gave them.

Vyrn: All right! I think that's the last kid on our list!

Lyria: Yep. Let's go back to the airship!
Wait... Where's Rackam?

Rackam: Oh, sorry about that. I popped into that shop to buy a little something.

Lyria: Huh? Were they selling something rare?

Rackam: Well, not so much rare as seasonal.

Rackam: Check it out! It's a special holiday cake. You guys haven't had any yet this year, right?

Lyria: Yay! Cake! Let's hurry back to the Grandcypher and eat it with the others!

Rackam: Not so fast, Lyria.

Rackam: If you set this cake aside for a few days after it's made, its flavors will blend and it'll be even tastier.

Rackam: So we'll have to wait just a bit longer. Once it's really ready, let's have it as a snack!

Lyria: Wow! What an interesting cake! I can't wait to try it!

Thus they agree to save the cake for a few days.

Lyria: Heh-heh... My sweet little cake, how tasty you will be!

Rackam: You've been saying that every day. Are you really that excited about that cake?

Lyria: Hee-hee! I sure am! I wonder how delicious it'll be.

Rackam: If you're looking forward to it that much, it was definitely worth buying.

Rackam: Anyway... It's about time to go deliver the presents!

(Captain) and company deliver the presents from Santa Claus to the good children of the village.

As the crew members prepare to get a good night's sleep, (Captain) runs into Rackam on the deck.

Rackam: Nom nom... Huh? Still awake, (Captain)? You must be tired. Why don't you turn in?

Rackam: What's that? You want to know what I was eating? Well, I got snacky, so I decided to try a bite of that cake from the other day.

Lyria: Rackam! We got trouble! I can't find the cake anywhere, and— Hey! Isn't that wrapper from the cake?

Rackam: Crap! You caught me.

Lyria: Some of the cake's gone! You're the one who said we should save it, Rackam!

Rackam: I'm sorry! But I was hungry, and I just couldn't help myself!

Lyria: That's no fair, Rackam! Right, (Captain)?

1. Yeah. That's pretty unfair!
2. Well, Rackam's the one who bought it...

Choose: Yeah. That's pretty unfair!

Vyrn: That's right! The captain and I stopped ourselves from eating it, you know!

Rackam: Wow! You guys too?

Rackam: Hmm... If you guys were all looking forward to the cake that much... All right...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Well, Rackam's the one who bought it...

Rackam: I did say that we should all eat it together.

Rackam: And you guys managed to restrain yourselves, so I'm really sorry, Lyria.

Lyria: It's okay. I got a little too angry myself.

Continue 1

Rackam: Say "Ah," Lyria.

Lyria: Wha?
Nom!

Rackam: Vyrn and (Captain) too. Have a bite!

Vyrn: Whoa!
Nom nom... Hey, this is great stuff!

Lyria: You said it! But next time, Rackam, don't surprise me like that! That's not how you offer someone a bite!

Rackam: Ha-ha! Now you're my accomplices!

Vyrn: Hey! This was a setup!

Rackam: But it was a delicious setup, right? Maybe I'll have just one more bite...

Lyria: Oh no! You're cutting the cake again! I told you to hold off!

Rackam: Huh? Why don't you be quiet and have another little piece, Lyria? It'll be like hush money!

Lyria: What a thing to say... I'm a good girl!

Rackam: Is that so? Well, I guess this piece is for you then, Vyrn. Eat up!

Vyrn: Yeah! Gimme!

Lyria: Whaaat? You're really going to eat that, Vyrn? Oh no! The cake is getting even smaller.

Rackam: What should we do? We could probably get away with one more piece...

Lyria: Huh? Okay... I get it. Let's share the next piece, (Captain)!

Rackam: You know, I think sneaking little pieces makes cake taste even better than usual.
Nom nom...

(Captain) and company ultimately end up devouring almost the entire cake right then and there.

Rosetta: I can't believe you guys ate the cake you promised to set aside.

Rackam: Ack... I'm sorry.

Rosetta: And how could you tempt Lyria like that? Now she's upset because she thinks she's a bad girl!

Rackam: You're right. It was all my fault. I owe Lyria an apology.

Rosetta: Rackam, you're supposed to be an adult! You should have more self-restraint than that!

Rackam: Ugh... You got me there!

Rackam: Hey, (Captain)! Don't be trying to sneak off and leave me with her! You were in on this too, you know!

Rosetta: Hey! Stay focused when I'm tearing you a new one!

Rackam: I said I'm sorry! Cut me some slack! The rest of you apologize too!

Once Rosetta finishes unleashing her fury on them, (Captain) and the others buy another cake as an apology.

But when they eat the cake, Rackam's piece is just a bit smaller than everyone else's.

In spite of the little hiccup, (Captain) and company spend a peaceful night together.
