Jewel of the Casino Liner
On a casino liner, the crew is approached by a rather timid woman who's soon called to the arena by an official. She turns out to be Therese, the idol duelist. To polish her skills, she joins the crew on their journey.
Katalina: Hmm... seems like that intel about the primal crystal was a load of bunk.
Vyrn: But I'm still glad we came. It's a great change of pace!
Lyria: Wow! Everything's so shiny and sparkly! I don't even know where to look!
Hoping to learn more about primal crystals, our heroes find themselves on a casino liner surrounded by other travelers.
The ship's interior is both lively and opulent, and the crew can hardly contain its excitement.
Lyria: Look, (Captain)! What's that?
Katalina: Lyria! Stay close! I doubt it was a good idea to even bring you here in the first place.
Vyrn: I think you got yourself a prime mom candidate, Lyria.
Vyrn: But we're sort of world travelers! You gotta take the leash off once in a while, you know? Let her run free!
Katalina: Wha? Mom? I'm not even...
Therese: Um... Excuse me.
Vyrn: Hmm?
Therese: What you said... is it true? That is to say... about traveling the world?
Vyrn: Yep. (Captain) and us, we're skyfarers.
Vyrn: We're looking for something out there in the world, or maybe it's better to say beyond it.
Therese: Then I'd like to ask you something, if you wouldn't mind. Would it be too much trouble... I mean, do you think I could go with—
Official: Therese! You need to hurry! You're almost up!
Therese: Oh! Sorry...
Vyrn: What was that?
Katalina: Is it just me, or are the people around us in a fervor? What's going on here?
Spectator: It's the ship's main event! Who're you and the lizard betting on in the duel?
Vyrn: Who you calling a lizard, chump? Wait, what d'you mean by who?
Spectator: Wha? You don't know? Ah, you must be first-timers.
Spectator: But I guess it's your lucky day, because I'll clue you in. The duels I'm talking about are battles in this ship's arena.
Spectator: The spectators bet on whichever duelist they want to win.
Lyria: What? Battles? But won't somebody get hurt?
Spectator: Maybe a little. But hey, that's part of the fun! Ha ha!
Spectator: Ah! It's starting! The duelists are coming out! So who'll it be?
Vyrn: What? Hey, (Captain)! Check it out! Isn't that the girl who was just talking to us?
Duelist: ...
Lyria: But check out all the muscles on the other one... Looks like quite a beast!
Vyrn: Aw, c'mon! How is this a fair fight? Who in their right mind would bet on the girl here?
Spectator: Ha ha! How little you know. Just watch. They're about to start!
Katalina: I can't believe it!
Duelist: What a pathetic display! It'll take more than some muscles attached to a big chunk of stupid to best me!
Duelist: Lovely audience! I hope you're feeling fired up! That was just a taste of what's to come! Sit back and enjoy the show!
Vyrn: Wait, what? Is that really the girl from earlier?
Spectator: Ha ha! Bet that threw you for a loop, eh? That woman is none other than Therese, our dueling idol!
Spectator: Whooo! You couldn't ask for a more lovely bloom of azure to adorn a gaming ship! Hey, Therese! You're the best!
Katalina: That can't be the same woman. What in the heck is happening?
Therese: Um... hey!
Vyrn: Whoa! You're the girl from earlier. Therese, right?
Therese: I was hoping we could, um, finish our talk from earlier...
Therese: Do you think I could, maybe, you know, join you on your journey?
Therese: I can't believe I actually said it!
Katalina: Why? If you don't mind me asking.
Therese: I think you might have seen, but I'm a duelist.
Therese: I've still got a lot to learn though, and I'm not sure whether I'm even entertaining my audience...
Vyrn: Are you kidding? A lot to learn? You're being modest. I mean, you were so into your show earlier.
Therese: Cut it out! It's like... once the duel starts, a switch flips inside me...
Therese: Anyway, I just want to be a better duelist!
Therese: For that, I need a lot of experience. And I hope to one day challenge some legendary duelists.
Katalina: Hm? Legendary?
Therese: Yes. I've only heard rumors, but...
Therese: Apparently they're not only great fighters, they really know how to give the crowd a great show.
Vyrn: I see. Legends, huh? What do you think, (Captain)?
Therese: !
Vyrn: Ha ha! Knew you'd say that. We're a bunch of dream chasers ourselves.
Therese: Oh... um...
Vyrn: But it's not like we're any different. Right, (Captain)?

Therese: So... uh, I guess...
Lyria: Yeah! We can be dreamers together!
Therese: Thank you so much! I'm, uh... I'm so happy to hear that!
Vyrn: Still, I'm having trouble believing she doesn't have a twin or something...
Gambler: What sort of scam are you tryin' to pull here?
Flimflam Man: What? C'mon, bro! Hate the game not the player!
Katalina: Looks like somebody's unhappy.
Therese: ...
Vyrn: What's with you, Therese?
Vyrn: Eh... Oh! Hey!
Therese: You there.
Flimflam Man: Wha?
Therese: You dare disgrace the sanctity of the duel? I do hope you weren't expecting to escape punishment for that.
Flimflam Man: Eek! Please! Spare me!
Lyria: Oh my... You're really something, Therese!
And so the beautiful duelist Therese, the pride of the casino liner, joins our heroes.
The crew continues its journey, in search of dreams waiting beyond the furthest known reaches of the sky.
