Belly Battles

(Captain) and company meet Redluck, a competitive eater and Zeyen monk. He saves a boy from some thugs, but the boy mistakes him for a skyfarer. Unwilling to let the boy down, Redluck joins the crew.



While walking the streets of a town they just reached, (Captain) and company hear the sound of cheering.
Lyria: Whoa! What's that?
Vyrn: Whatever it is, it sounds exciting! Let's go take a look, (Captain)!
Commentator: Oho! The battle of the bellies is reaching its climax! But which of these monstrous eaters will have the last belly laugh?
A number of men stand before a table on a stage that has been set up in the town square.
On the table is an absurdly huge amount of food, and the men are shoving it into their mouths.
???: Nom nom... Gulp!
???: Next!
Spectator: Wow! He's really putting it away!
Vyrn: What in the skies is going on? Everybody's really pumped up, but I don't get it.
Spectator: Huh? So this is your first eating contest?
Vyrn: Eating what?
Spectator: Eating contest! It's a battle with just one rule: whoever eats the most wins! This one's nearly over. Watch!
Commentator: Oho! Looks like the last challenger bit off more than he can chew! And we have our winner!
Commentator: He's done it again! Always hungry, never satisfied, cooler than his sunglasses... It's Redluck!
In response to the commentator's announcement, a huge cheer rises from the crowd.
???: Rawrrr!
???: Another day, another victory! For me! My iron stomach is invincible!
Commentator: We've come to expect nothing less from the dude of food! Is there anyone in existence who has a belly big enough to beat you?
Redluck: Ha-ha! And that was nothin' but an appetizer!
The crowd explodes again in response to the champion's hearty laughter.
Lyria: Oh, what a popular guy!
Redluck: I need more! Is there nobody strong enough to face me, the eater-in-chief?
Redluck: Can you even call that a battle? Ha! That wasn't even enough to wake me up!
Vyrn: Whoa... There's something a little scary about that guy!
Spectator: I guess so... But he's actually a monk.
Vyrn: Really? That burly dude?
Redluck: If anyone here has what it takes to eat me under the table, step up now!
Redluck: I'll accept any challenger!
Vyrn: Hmm... All that eating coupled with that wild shouting...
Vyrn: He sure doesn't look like any monk I've ever seen!
Lyria: But he made that food look delicious! It was so exciting!
Vyrn: Well, at least you have your own way of looking at things.
Lyria's stomach suddenly rumbles.
Lyria: Heh-heh. Now I'm hungry too.
Vyrn: What a shock. I guess we should go find somewhere to eat.
The crew leaves the plaza and wanders around, looking for a decent place.
Thug 1: Hey! What are you doing, you little brat!
Boy: Eek!
Thug 2: You again! I'm sick of you holdin' us back!
Lyria: Oh no! Look over there!
Vyrn: We have to stop them, (Captain)!
Just as (Captain) and the crew start to run over, one of the thugs pushes the boy.
Thug 1: Heh-heh. We got no food for worthless trash like you!
Boy: Aahh!
Redluck: Whoopsie!
The massive man pops out of nowhere and supports the small boy.
Lyria: Oh, look! It's the guy who won the eating contest earlier!
Redluck: I've eaten a bad egg or two in my time, but you guys take it to another level.
Thug 2: You got a problem, lowlife?
Redluck: You callin' me a lowlife from all the way down there, filth? That's rich!
Thug 1: Shut it! You think you're a big man just 'cause you got a big belly?
Redluck: Oho, so you want a fight, huh? Not exactly my favorite thing, but I don't mind the occasional scrap.
The towering competitive eater tilts his head to the side with a satisfying crack and then gazes down at the thugs.
Thug 2: Ugh...
The thugs recoil from his gaze, clearly not up to the challenge.
Redluck: Now get lost before I get mad.
Thug 1: L-let's beat it!
Redluck: Ha! Bunch of small fry.
Vyrn: I don't get this guy. He doesn't seem like a monk at all! He's scarier than his appetite!
Lyria: Ha-ha... But he did save that boy.
The crew shrinks back a little, but the boy does not. He instead looks in admiration at Redluck, his eyes twinkling.
Boy: Wow! You're Redluck!
Boy: Thanks for helping me! I just knew you were cool!
Lyria: Hee-hee... It seems like that kid is a big fan!
Boy: Huh? Who are you guys? Are you friends of Redluck?
Lyria: Eek! Us? Well, uh...
  1. Total besties.
  2. Nope...


Choose: Total besties.

Redluck: Huh!
Vyrn: Eek! (Captain)! Don't just blurt out the first thing that pops into your head!
Redluck: What are you tryin' to pull?
Vyrn: Wait! We're just a passing airship crew...
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Nope...

Boy: Huh? Really?
Vyrn: Yeah, we're an airship crew. We're just passing through.

Continue 1

Boy: Seriously? An airship crew?
Vyrn: Whoa! Don't scare me like that!
Boy: Wow! You're skyfarers! That's almost Redluck levels of cool!
Boy: When I grow up, I wanna be big and strong like him! And then I wanna become a skyfarer!
Lyria: Hee-hee. Being a skyfarer is this kid's dream!
Redluck: Hey, boy. That's a pretty big dream you've got there...
Redluck: But how is the life you're livin' gonna help you reach it?
Boy: I...
Vyrn: Hey, why did you say that?
Redluck: Hmm...
Redluck picks up the boy with one massive arm.
Vyrn: Hey! Hey, big guy! What do you think you're doing?
Redluck: Mind your own business. I'm takin' this kid somewhere where he'll be better off, so quit your warbling.
Redluck walks past the crew and out of sight, the boy still in his arms.
That night the crew is discussing which route to take when an unexpected guest arrives.
???: Hey! Is anybody there?
Vyrn: Huh? I think I hear someone. Who could it be?
Redluck: Oh, good. I figured this was the right airship.
Vyrn: Uh-oh! It's the giant from earlier!
Redluck: I thought you might like to know that I left that boy in the care of an orphanage.
Lyria: Huh? An orphanage?
Redluck: He was being used as a gofer by those thugs, so I couldn't just leave him there.
Vyrn: I see. But is there anything else you want, big man?
Redluck: There sure is. You think I can join you on your journey?
Vyrn: Huh? That's a bit sudden!
Redluck: Not really. I'm apparently already a skyfarer.
Vyrn: What is this guy even talking about, (Captain)?
Redluck: So you're the captain? This is actually that boy's doing, at least in a way...
Boy: Wow! I didn't know you're a skyfarer! You're just as cool as cool gets!
Redluck: I'm actually a competitive eater. You know that, boy.
Boy: Yeah, yeah, I know! You're unbeaten in the eatin'!
Redluck: Yep, and it's because my challengers have weak little baby bellies.
Boy: To be a super strong competitive eater and also a skyfarer... That's amazing!
Redluck: I said—
Boy: Heh-heh! You're so cool, Redluck! You never let me down!
Vyrn: Hold it... So you left that kid thinkin' you're a skyfarer?
Redluck: Yep. To make matters worse, as I dropped the boy off, I was surrounded by a swarm of kids who also think I'm a skyfarer.
Redluck: And when I saw their little eyes all brimming with expectation...
Vyrn: Geez... You seem like a different person than the one we saw earlier.
Redluck: Huh? Oh, that.... That was my competitive eater persona you saw.
Vyrn: What's that about? Aren't you meant to be a monk first and foremost?
Redluck: Ah, yes... a Zeyen monk.
Vyrn: Then what in the skies is with this eating contest stuff?
Redluck: Well, I get to eat delicious things for free. Can you really blame me?
Vyrn: That's not very monkish.
Lyria: Um... What do Zeyens believe again?
Redluck: Oh? The finer points of Zeyen teachings might be a little difficult for you, young lady.
Redluck: The basic idea is to comprehend the Astrals' divine plan and bestow their power unto the people.
Lyria: Um...
Redluck: It's difficult, I know... It all boils down to learning from the past for a happier and brighter tomorrow.
Vyrn: Good grief. Like anyone needs to be preached at by a food-worshippin' monk.
Redluck: Ha-ha! That's exactly the point!
Vyrn: This guy's making less and less sense. Right, (Captain)?
  1. I'm eating his stories up.
  2. I want to join an eating contest.


Choose: I'm eating his stories up.

Redluck: Are you, really? Feels good to hear a captain say that!
Lyria: Hee-hee! If (Captain) thinks you're okay, then it's already decided!
Go to "Continue 2"


Choose: I want to join an eating contest.

Vyrn: What? Are you serious?
Redluck: Ha-ha! You're a funny one, Captain!
Vyrn: Captain? So you've already decided you're one of us...
Lyria: Hee-hee! I think Redluck is a good person!

Continue 2

Vyrn: Then that's it! Welcome to the crew!
Redluck: I look forward to helpin' out!
Thus the monk with a bottomless pit of a stomach joins the crew.
With Redluck as their friend, (Captain) and the crew's journey will definitely be more lively from now on.
