Scenario:Wamdus - Valentine's Rush: Let's Help!

Valentine's Rush: Let's Help!

Wamdus visits Stardust Town to find it packed with shoppers seeking limited-edition Valentine's goods. When she tries to help the overwhelmed crew at the Stardust Beacon cafe, her efforts only seem to cause problems, prompting her to consider other ways to contribute.

---

On a day seemingly like any other, Wamdus conjures a door for a visit to Stardust Town.

Wamdus: Hm? It seems busier than usual...

Noticing a bright, lively mood permeating the town, she pauses and looks around curiously.

Wamdus: Sniff, sniff... Something smells sweet.

Following the scent, Wamdus finds a crowd of people lined up outside a shop, perhaps lured by the same sugary aroma.

Wamdus: Ooh, so many customers! Did they come out with something new?

Peering inside, she sees familiar faces rushing to and fro, too swamped to notice her.

Wamdus: Wow, everyone's working really hard!

Wamdus: Makes sense with a crowd this big! I wonder what's going on?

Female Patron 1: The limited-edition chocolates aren't sold out yet, right? Maybe I should've come earlier.

Female Patron 2: Real chocolate from chocolate monsters is pretty hard to get, after all.

Wamdus: Oho, limited-edition goods! The people of Stardust Town sure don't mess around.

Wamdus: I'll come back later. If I talk to them now, I'll just be in the way.

From there, Wamdus heads over to Feower's cafe, Stardust Beacon.

Wamdus: Wow, it's just as packed over here! The line goes on forever.

Wamdus: Are they selling limited-edition goods too?

Wamdus: There's a sign here. Let's see...
"Couples discount. No gender restrictions."
Aha, so that's why.

Wamdus: And what's this... An exclusive Valentine's Weekend menu!

Wamdus: I see, it's Valentine's! Special items for a special day. Makes perfect sense!

Wamdus: Oh! The Singularity and crew are working too!

Wamdus: Ooh, Muge's on kitchen duty. Making pancakes, maybe?

In the back, Mugen can be seen churning out pancake after pancake, quickly yet carefully.

Wamdus: Everyone here looks like they have their hands full too. Hmm... If I said hello, would I be bothering them?

Lyria: Oh! Hi, Wamdus!

Wamdus: Ah! You found me!

Vyrn: Huh? Were you hidin'?

Wamdus: Nah. You all just seemed tied up, so I wasn't sure what to do.

Valentine's Date: Excuse me! Could we place our order?

Lyria: Okay, I'll be right there!
Sorry, I need to step away for a second.

Wamdus: Wow! So busy!

Vyrn: Sorry, we're all over the place right now. The Valentine's Weekend menu is crazy popular.

Vyrn: The cafe was short on hands, so Feower roped us into pickin' up part-time jobs here for Valentine's.

Wamdus: Part-time... jobs!

Wamdus: In that case, I'll help you with the part-time job!

Lyria: Wait, you want to work with us? That would be a big help, but are you sure?

Wamdus: Yeah! I wanna know what it feels like to be busy too!

Lyria: Thank you so much! Then let's get you changed into a uniform right away!

Wamdus: Ta-da! I'm ready for Valentine's!

Vyrn: Whoa! You're really pullin' that outfit off!

Lyria: You look adorable, Wamdus!

Wamdus: Now I'm a proper cafe worker. I'll do my best at this part-time job!

Once Lyria has walked her through the basics, Wamdus steps confidently out onto the floor.

Lyria: Welcome!
Wamdus, please show these customers to their seats!

Wamdus: I'm on it.
Welcome, party of two! Right this way!

Wamdus: Next I need to... serve water!

Wamdus: Fill the glasses, load the tray, and carry it over. Yep, I've got this!

Female Patron 2: Excuse me! We'd like to order, please!

Female Patron 1: And could we get another napkin?

Wamdus: Wha? Oh, uh, sure thing! I mean—yes, right away!

Wamdus: Huh?

Wamdus: Let's see, I was gonna serve water to that table from before. But I also need to take their order. And bring an extra napkin...

Wamdus: So much to do, and only one Wam...

Wamdus: Umm, what comes first...

Lyria: Ah, Wamdus! I'll take care of the order and the water!

Wamdus: Oh, thanks!

Male Patron: Excuse me, can the limited-edition chocolate cake be ordered for takeout?

Wamdus: Take what?

Vyrn: Yeah, we do takeout! Give us just a sec to pack it up!

Vyrn: Wamdus, can you handle the payment?

Wamdus: Ah, okay, payment!

As Wamdus frantically juggles a stream of checkouts, a departing customer calls out to her.

Female Patron 2: The pancakes were super delicious!

Wamdus: Oh, thank you! I'll tell Muge! He worked really hard making them!

Wamdus: Ah, more customers! We'll get you seated right away!
Singularity!

Wamdus: Thanks! I'll leave the seating to you!

Wamdus: Now, um... What was I doing?

Wamdus: Right, payment! I was about to hand the customer her change...

Wamdus: Wait, she's gone! Did she already leave?

Wamdus: B-but the money! What do I do? I didn't give it to her yet!

Vyrn: What's up? You okay?

Wamdus: Red Dragon! I didn't give that customer her change! I'm going after her!

Vyrn: What! O-okay!

In a panic, Wamdus disappears through one of her doors and returns looking somewhat dejected.

Lyria: Ah, welcome back, Wamdus! Were you able to hand over the change?

Wamdus: Yeah, I was...

Lyria: That's good to hear! Oh, I need to refill their water!

Wamdus: I handed over the change, but...

Wamdus: I'm causing problems left and right...

Lyria: Looks like we made it through the rush! Great work, everyone!

Vyrn: Today was another whirlwind! You must be wiped too, huh, Wamdus?

Wamdus: Y-yeah, but... probably not as much as you all.

Wamdus: I made lots of mistakes... and dragged everyone down.

Wamdus: I'm sorry...

Lyria: Huh? That's not true at all!

1. You were a huge help.
2. Maybe you weren't busy as a bee, but...

Choose: You were a huge help.

Lyria: Yeah! Even with how hectic it was, you did an amazing job!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Maybe you weren't busy as a bee, but...

Vyrn: She was busy as a dragon?

Vyrn: Wait, now's not the time for that!

Vyrn: But for real, we appreciate it! You helped a ton!

Continue 1

Wamdus: Thanks...

Wamdus: I'll be going now.

Lyria: Poor Wamdus... She seemed really blue.

Vyrn: She didn't drag us down at all though.

After returning to the Six Dragons' island, Wamdus sits alone, reflecting on the day's events.

Wamdus: I get it. Me working at the cafe just causes trouble for everyone.

Wamdus: But being busy like that every day must be exhausting for them...

Wamdus: There has to be something I can do. Some way to lift everyone's spirits...

Wamdus: But what?

Unable to perform as she had hoped during the Valentine's rush, Wamdus is disheartened.

Wanting to help, she ponders in earnest on what she can do to support her friends.
