Synopsis

Sara and co. help Lloyd with a monster slaying job outside of town in their spare time. A new growling sounds throughout the air, but fortunately it's just Lloyd's stomach. Lloyd offers to pay for everyone's meals for assisting him. Instead of a mid-city restaurant, it seems Lloyd has his eyes set on a local eatery.

As they arrive, something foul seems afoot, and the party begins to brainstorm ways to help their newfound favorite restaurant. Not too long afterwards, Tear, Milla, and Alvin show up to the scene. What plans does Alvin have to spice up the restaurant's display for new customers?!

Transcript Lloyd Hee-yah! Sara Ha! Kyah!

*Phew* Was that the last monster? Lippy Indeed it was! According to my smartphon readings, this area is clear! Lloyd All right, mission complete! Nice work everyone. Lippy I heartily concur! Great Savior, Lady Sara, Master Lloyd—all three of you exhibited exceptional prowess! Lloyd All I know is I'd have been in a heap of trouble if I didn't have you guys helpin' me out. Thanks for comin' through on such short notice! Sara It's the least we could do after all the times you've came through for us, Lloyd. ？？？？ Grrrrrrrr... Lippy Dear me, what's that noise? Don't tell me a monster has somehow eluded my notice! Lloyd No, heh heh... That's... my stomach. Sara I'm starving too! We fought right through dinner time! Lloyd All right guys, let me pick up my mission reward and I'll buy y'all a nice meal! Sara What? No, no! We'll pay our own way! Lloyd Not a chance, Sara. You helped me on my job, and I'm buying you dinner. I know just the place too. Lippy Ooh, you know a good restaurant around here? Sara In that case... sure. We'll humbly accept! Lloyd Great! Let's go!





Post-2/6

Transcript Lloyd We'll be there soon! Lippy After how highly you spoke of this restaurant, I was imagining one of the large eateries downtown... Sara Yeah. Guess this one's more of a back-alley hole in the wall? Milla Hello there, (user). And to you as well Lloyd, Sara, and Lippy. This is quite a coincidence. Lippy Lord Maxwell! Lloyd Milla! I haven't seen you in forever! Sara What are you doing here in the city, Milla? Did something serious happen?! Milla Something serious...? Well... Serious to me, perhaps. I'm going to the Five Moons restaurant. Lloyd No way! We're headed there too! Milla You're familiar with Five Moons? I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only one who appreciates that place. Lippy I certainly hadn't expected to be dining with the Lord Maxwell tonight! Sara What a crazy coincidence! Their food must really be amazing if even Milla knows about it. Milla The meals I've eaten there have been quite literally unforgettable. Lippy Dear me! To receive such high praise from the Lord of Spirits herself... This must be quite a restaurant! Sara Food that can win over both Milla and Lloyd like that... My mouth's watering in anticipation here! Lloyd Listen, don't get too excited. It isn't some big-deal fancy restaurant or anything.

But their food is good. I don't think you'll find a better meal here, even from the more famous places downtown. Milla I'd be surprised if you weren't pleased with it. Sara Well, you've sure got me convinced. And at this point, I'm beyond starving! Lippy Let us make haste to this "Five Moons"!





Pre-3/6

Transcript Lloyd There—I see their sign! That's the restaurant there. Lippy It appears to be surprisingly run-down. Or rather, I should say... it seems quaint and... rich in history. Milla Let's go inside before my stomach rumbles itself to pieces. Sara (I can't believe I just heard the Lord of Spirits say that...)

Huh? Sounds like there's some drama happening inside the restaurant! Landshark You won't sell, even at this price? Heh heh ha! You're a pretty tough negotiator! Chef It isn't about that! I wouldn't sell my restaurant for any amount of money! Landshark Heh heh ha! You sure about that? A restaurant with no customers can't stay open forever, ya know. Chef We would have customers if you weren't there scaring them away! Landshark Heh heh ha! What could you possibly be talking about? Chef ...Urk! Landshark Listen, pal. You're gonna want to cut a deal while my boss is still willing to settle this with a peaceful buyout.

Keep dragging your heels like this, and who knows what he'll try next. Somethin' to think about. Chef ... Landshark Heh heh ha. Catch ya later. [Slam!] Landshark Hey, get the hell offa me! Watch where you're goin', moron! Lippy Great Savior! Are you okay? Sara You were just standing there! That guy pushed right through you! Lloyd Hey, Pops. Who was that guy? Milla I overheard him say something about a "buyout"...? Chef Lloyd! Milla! Lloyd There's something I'd like to talk to you about.... ？？？？ Grrrrrrrrrrrr... Milla Can we eat first? I'm so hungry at this point that I'd barely be listening. Sara Yeah, I second that!





Post-4/6

Transcript Sara Whoa! I've never had such a good omelet before! Lloyd Right? Lippy Both Lady Sara and the Great Savior seem quite taken with their meals!

Why, Master Lloyd! Your omelet seems to have white sauce instead of salsa. Lloyd Yeah! I hate tomatoes so the chef makes it special for me! You can't beat service like that. Milla [Milla chews her food eagerly.] Lippy Lord Maxwell seems to be quite engrossed in her food as well! The chef here must be among the finest in human history! Milla I do enjoy this chef's cooking. I've come here a number of times.

But while the food is as excellent as ever, I can't help but notice that we're the only customers today... Lloyd Yeah, I'm guessing that has something to do with that guy from earlier with the weird laugh. Sara Let's hear what the chef wanted to talk to you about! Lloyd You're being targeted by a "landshark"? Chef Yes. That man's employer wants to build a giant restaurant here. He's already managed to evict everyone else on the block. Sara So you're the last person standing in the way of his boss's plans... Chef Since I've been refusing to sell, he's been sending his thugs here to scare off my customers. Lloyd So that's why there isn't anyone else here today... Chef If this continues, we'll be out of business soon. Milla Wait, does that meant I wouldn't be able to eat your cooking anymore? I can't allow that. Lloyd Yeah! There's no way I'm gonna let some creep of a restaurant developer ruin my favorite diner! Sara I'm with you guys. They shouldn't be able to shut down a great place like this! It's just not fair! Chef Th-Thank you... All of you! Lippy Then our next step is clear! We must formulate a plan to save the Five Moons restaurant! All Yeah!





Pre-5/6

Transcript Sara Hmmmmmmm... Lloyd Hmmmmmmm... Chef Hmmmmmmm... Lippy Hmm. While I stand by our decision to seek clues on the city streets, we seem to be coming up empty. Sara Can't we just find this landshark guy and give him a good butt-kicking? Lippy Alas, the fact that he seems to be receiving his orders from above complicates the situation.

It sounds like his employer may be in such a position of power that even local authorities may not help us.

Our best move may be to help the Five Moons flourish. With enough public support, it could protect itself from further interference. Sara All right... But how do we make it flourish, then? Milla A fine question. Would you excuse me for a moment? There's something I want to check on. Sara M-Milla...? Lippy Perhaps Lord Maxwell has had some sort of inspiration? Sara Yeah? I wish we had one of those. We gotta think of someth—whoa!

Is that...?! Tear Hmm? (user) and Sara? And Lippy too. It's a pleasure to see you again. Sara Tear! How have you been? Lippy Why, this is quite the pleasant surprise! What brings you to this city, Lady Tear? Tear Duty. I'm afraid I can't say anything more than that. Lloyd Hmmmmmm... Chef Hmmmmmm... Tear How about you? You all seem so somber. Is something wrong? Sara Actually... Tear The restaurant's being targeted by a landshark? Sara Yeah. His mysterious employer wants to build some huge new restaurant so he's been sending that guy around... Tear I'm sorry to hear about that. This minion sounds like a most unpleasant man. Sara You have no idea! His weird "hee hee ha" laugh creeps me right out. Tear "Hee hee ha"...? That's how he laughs? Sara Yeah. It makes my skin crawl. Tear (That sounds an awful lot like my mission target!)

(The more Sara describes him, the more he matches the profile...) Sara Tear? What is it? Tear Nothing. Nothing at all. Is there anything I can do to help you with this restaurant situation? Sara S-Seriously? You'd really be willing to help? Tear The situation has... piqued my interest. Of course, if you feel I'd be in the way, you needn't involve me. Sara Are you kidding?! We'd love to have you on board! Thank you so much, Tear!
