The following is the script of dialogue used in the Blade Quest Bearing Her Soul.


Intro[edit]

The sound of a Torigonda being played can be heard.
Rex
What's that sound?
Dromarch
It's Gormotti folk music. The instrument's called a "Torigonda".
Nia
It's what that girl is playing.
A Gormotti girl is playing the Torigonda in front of Abble's Fountain.
Nia
She's pretty talented!
Dromarch
Truly, a balm for the soul.
Nia
Hey, Ursula! How are you liking the music?
Ursula
Huh? It's good...
Rex
Come to think of it... You're a bit of musician yourself right, Ursula?[1]
Nia
Why don't you introduce yourself?
Ursula
Ah, no... I won't, I think.
Kiara
Hey there! Blade!
Ursula
Uh?
Rex
I think she means Ursula.
Ursula
Yes?
Kiara
You look like a musician! Want to try playing my Torigonda?
Ursula
I... Uhm...
I'm not sure...how...
Nia
Hey, don't be shy! Give it a go!
Ursula
But...I hate to impose...
Rex
Nah! Do it! Go ahead!
You're one of us, so if you're interested in something, well, that makes us interested, too!
Nia
Hey, let's all go over and look.
Ursula
OK!
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, the group has met up with Kiara.
Kiara
You came!
Rex
You're really great at playing that thing.
Kiara
Well, thanks!
My family make Torigondas, so I've been around them since I was just a baby.
Playing one of these is simple like talking for me.
Nia
Huh? That's so cool!
Kiara
I've still got a fair bit to learn though. Grown-ups round here can play and sing at the same time.
Maybe you can, Miss?
Ursula
I...I...
Kiara
Well, that's what your eyes seemed to be saying, anyway!
Ursula
I'd like to play something...
But I'm just a bit...
Kiara
A bit too shy, maybe? It's OK! There aren't many people here.
Nia
Yes, go on, give it a go! Can't hurt!
Rex
Yeah! We'd love to hear your playing, Ursula!
Ursula
Here goes...
Just a little taste...
Kiara
Yeah!
The scene fades out for a moment again. Ursula is now seated in front of Beary at Abble's Fountain, with Kiara's Torigonda, which she begins to play.
Kiara
Awesome! What a lovely tune!
Nia
You're talented too, Ursula!
Rex
Seems the people here appreciate it...
Unbeknownst to Ursula, a crowd has gathered around her, startling her once she realizes.
Ursula
Huh?!
So many people...
Gormotti woman
What? Don't stop!
Gormotti man
That last bit was so good, too!
Is that it...?

Meeting Tipitapi[edit]

Tipitapi
A moment of friends' time, please?
Tora
Me-meh? Who is friend?
Tipitapi
Me am Tipitapi, music producer.
Some people find name bit on nose, so instead everyone call me Teetapz. Pleased to make acquaintance.
Nia
Right, so, uh... Teetapz, what do you want?
Tipitapi
Want? Oh, me just become captivated by song of this here young lady...
Rex
Young lady... You mean Ursula?
Tipitapi
Oh-ho! So name of friend is Ursula!
Friend Ursula, me feel enraptured when hear your song!
Teetapz think friend's song could bring all of Alrest to knees!
What friend think? How about capture hearts of world with me?
Ursula
...I...
Tipitapi
Friend Ursula! Your song have immense power!
Ursula
...I... Couldn't possibly... I'm too...shy...and it's all just too much...
Tipitapi
Nonono, please! Such wonderful song deserve to be sung!
Me sure everything go splendidly!
Ursula
...But...
Rex
...Why don't you give it a try, Ursula?
Ursula
B-but...
Nia
No, I agree! Just do it!
You're shy, and that's fine, but this'd be a chance to try something different!
Ursula
That's...true, but I didn't think I needed anything different...
You've all become my friends, and it's great to just talk...
And I've been holding my own in battles, helping our side...
But the idea of singing just feels...
Tora
Fine! Is fine! Tora also want to hear Ursula sing more.
Rex
I wouldn't mind another listen either.
Ursula
...Mmm... If you're all sure...then... I guess I could give it a try...
Tipitapi
That great news! Then let us make preparations quickly!
Studio of Teetapz is located in Argentum, not far from Rumbletum Canteen.
Me go on ahead and lay plans. When friends ready, come meet!
Kiara
Hey, Miss!
You'll be singing again, won't you?
Ursula
Yes, it... seems I will...
Kiara
Then here! Take this Torigonda.
Ursula
Huh?
Kiara
You played her with such joy and zeal, I think she'd be more than happy for you to use her again!
Ursula
Are you sure...?
Kiara
I toldja before, didn't I? We make Torigondas, so we've got loads more back home.
Da said it was a masterpiece when he'd finished it, but with so many he won't even notice it's gone.
Ursula
That's... Mmm...
Kiara
Don't worry about it, I say. Anyway, you'll need an instrument, won't you?
Ursula
...OK then. But let's just call it a loan.
I'll be sure to return it some day.
Kiara
It really needn't be a big deal...
But fine, as you wish! If that's what you want, Miss, then OK.
Ursula
Mmm. Thank you...
Kiara
I really hope I can hear you play again sometime soon!

Talk to Tipitapi in Rumbletum Canteen[edit]

Tipitapi
Oho, friend Ursula! Thank you for coming, everything now taken care of!
So, so, first please come here and sign contract document.
Dromarch
Is there any chance we are being deceived...?
Poppi α
Poppi also find this shady. Something not smell right.
Rex
It'll be fine, don't worry so much! Look, it took Ursula a while to get into this idea...
But now she's got a chance to share her talent with the world!
We should be more supportive.
Nia
I guess if there's any problems, we can deal with them as and when.
Tipitapi
Very good! Now contract all set!
We can begin with building foundation of stardom!
Friend Ursula, we will pick up pace, so try to not fall behind, eh?
Ursula
A-absolutely!
Tipitapi
First of all, we need voice that captivate audience...we need powerful vocal!
Next, we also need powerful image which draw attention!
And finally, to stay calm on stage, we need powerful spirit!
Not to worry, Teetapz teach friend all about it!
Ursula
Y-yes, sir.
Tipitapi
For time being, we say friend Ursula is level one across all fields.
Nia
That's harsh...
Tipitapi
In case friend Nia curious, Nia have vocals level minus five, image level negative two, and soul level five.
Nia
Watch it!
Tipitapi
Me kid, me kid. Anyway, first goal is raise all areas to level two.
If friend want to know levels, just talk to Teetapz.
All right! Let lessons begin!

Report to Tipitapi in Rumbletum Canteen[edit]

Tipitapi
All skills now at level two!
That mean is time to stand on stage and give performance!
Ursula
Wha-?! N-no, you can't just spring this on me!
Tipitapi
Everybody have to start somewhere!
Is important to gain experience, too!
Ursula
But I can't...
Tipitapi
Teetapz know what friend thinking! Not to worry, Teetapz take care of all organizational tasks!
Venue will be right here in Rumbletum Canteen!
Teetapz have some business to take care of. Will go on ahead.
Friend Ursula should also get ready.
Ursula
H-how long till I have to be ready...?
Tipitapi
Not long at all!
Me hope everyone gather in Rumbletum Canteen imminently.
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Tipitapi is gone and everyone turned towards the stage.
Ursula
O, oh... Now I've done it...

Talk to Ursula at Lemour Inn[edit]

Tipitapi
Preparation for concert complete. Is almost showtime!
Time to let 54 fans of friend Ursula hear beautiful music!
Ursula
...Mmm...
Rex
Ursula? Are you OK?
Ursula
Y-y-yes! Yes, yes. I'm fi-fi-fi-fine! Yes.
Nia
She's physically shaking here...
What should we say to Ursula?
Encourage her to do it same as always
Ursula
Y-you're right...
OK, I know, I know. I've practiced a lot, so everything will be fine if I just do it like that...
Tell her to breathe and calm down
Ursula
Yes. OK...
Breathe in... Breathe out... Phew, OK.
Ursula
Thanks, that did calm me down somewhat.
I'll give it all I've got! That...may not be much, though...

Verse[edit]

Ursula is sitting in front of beary on the Rumbletum Canteen's stage.
Nia
You can do it, Ursula!
Tora
If mess up, not end of world!
Rex
Relax! It's no biggie!
Ursula begins her performance.
Spectator
Och, what a lovely tune...
Spectator
Oh, voice of angel...
The concert is cut short as Ursula becomes aware of the crowd.
Ursula
...I-?!
Spectator
Hey? What happen?
Spectator
Did you forget the words?
Spectator
C'mon, sing more! More!
Ursula looks disheartened as the scene ends.

Talk to Tipitapi in Rumbletum Canteen again[edit]

Ursula
...I knew I couldn't do it.
Tipitapi
Ah, is a shame, really...
Ursula
...I'm sorry I let you down. I'll go get my stuff...
Tipitapi
Uh? What friend saying?
Even if perform on stage not go so great, even standing on stage in first place is great success!
Ursula
...Huh...?
Tipitapi
Song Ursula sing was cut short, true, but it still touch people...
Shy and sweet persona shine through and pluck at heartstrings of audience!
Ursula
...Really?
Tipitapi
Yes, really!
If friend Ursula need proof, might be interested to learn that her fan club was established immediately!
Ursula
...That's...
Tora
Nice job, Ursula!
Rex
It wasn't easy, but all's well that ends well, eh?
Nia
Ursula, what about that? Doesn't it make you a bit happy at least?
Ursula
...I, uh... Don't quite know what to think yet...
Well, no. When everyone came just to listen to me sing, that was kinda nice...
Tipitapi
That it! That feeling very important!
If manage to convey that feeling, next concert will be sensational!
Ursula
Convey...my feeling...to everyone...?
Tipitapi
Yes! We look to future, after all! And with that, time for more lessons!
Ursula moves in front of Beary
Ursula
...Yes! OK!
Tipitapi
This time, we aim to improve each area to level four!
Build own potential, and confidence surely follow! Teetapz think next time, everything go swimmingly!

Report to Tipitapi in Rumbletum Canteen again[edit]

Tipitapi
Oh, friends choose right moment to stop by! Timing is impeccable, meh!
Nia
...Why, what's happened?
Tipitapi
Teetapz lined up next gig! This time, friend Ursula play in Mymoma Playhouse in Uraya.
Ursula
...I'm going to play in the playhouse?!
Nia
Hah, that's awesome. Nice one, Ursula!
Tora
That playhouse of old man Cole now suppose to be much bigger than before.
Ursula
Ohhh...
Rex
Ursula, you've worked hard for this. Take it as an acknowledgment of your effort!
Ursula
...Ohh... ... I guess.
Tora
Friend not happy about this?
Ursula
...No, I mean, I am, obviously...
Tipitapi
Well then, Teetapz go ahead to seal deal!
Friend Ursula, make show that be remembered for ages!
Ursula
Um... Y-yes, OK.
Rex
You'd better make sure you're ready, Ursula!
Ursula
Yeah... I'm a little apprehensive, but... I have to see it through...

Talk to Ursula at Mymoma Playhouse[edit]

Tipitapi
Now then, finally big night arrive! Friend Ursula, ready for concert?
Ursula
...Mmm...
Nia
Ursula?
Tora
Friend OK? Have tummyache?
Ursula
...Mmm, no, my stomach is fine... ... But I don't know if I can do it.
Dromarch
It would appear that she has trouble coping with the excessive stress.
Tora
But that terrible! Concert have to be canceled?!
Nia
It's OK, there's still time before the gig. We can use it to get Ursula to relax.
Tora
Trick of Tora when stressed is to eat favorite food until calm.
Ursula have some Tasty Sausage too?
Rex
I think she'd just get heartburn...
Dromarch
On the other hand, having a snack would form a distraction. It may not be such a bad idea, after all...
Nia
Right! So we'll try to feed Ursula her favorite food to get her a bit more relaxed.
Tipitapi
Friend Ursula, what is favorite thing? Teetapz bring, right away!
Ursula
Excuse me? That's awfully sudden...
Nia
Ah, no, we were wondering what your favorite food is. Don't think too much, just say whatever comes to mind.
Ursula
Ah, OK, mmm... I saw some Champ's Churros out front, I wouldn't mind trying those...
Let's say, ten of them? So Beary can try them, too...?
Tora
Beary eat more than fair share... But no time for grumble! We buy and come back!
Tipitapi
And until friends return, Teetapz keep waiting audience entertained with gift of gab!

Give the Champ's Churros to Ursula[edit]

Tora
We bring Champ's Churros! Plenty for Ursula and Beary to chomp!
Ursula
Thank you...
The scene fades to black for a moment.
Nia
Well? Feeling a bit calmer?
Ursula
...Yes, thank you. They were delicious. Beary appreciated it, too.
OK... Yeah, I'm better now.
Tora
Good-good-good! So Ursula will sing?
Ursula
Yes. I'll be fine...
Tipitapi
In that case, time for concert to begin! Teetapz great at rambling, but can only keep audience excited for so long...

Bridge[edit]

The party watches spectators getting to their sits inside Mymoma Playhouse.
Tora
Excellent!
Dromarch
Packed to the rafters!
Nia
Look, Ursula! Look at all the people who came just to hear your music!
Rex
Are you OK?
Ursula
Yes. I'm all right.
Thanks to all the support from you guys, I'll be able to give it my all.
OK, time to get out there!
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Ursula is playing on the stage.
Nia
She really looks up for it this time.
Tora
Yes yes! Hope Ursula can see it through to end.
Poppi α
Ursula! Good luck!
Rex
It'll be fine.
Preparation makes a big difference. I'm sure all those lessons will pay off.
You've done all the work. So you just owe it to yourself now!
Ursula successfully finishes her concert under the applause of the public.
Ursula
I'm excited!

Talk to Tipitapi at Mymoma Playhouse[edit]

Tipitapi
Bravo! Bravo! Success that resound!
Teetapz knew friend Ursula can do it! Entire audience under friend's spell!
Rex
How did it feel, Ursula?
Ursula
...Mm. It felt really good!
When I was singing, I felt like I was a part of something bigger than myself!
Rex
That sounds great!
Tora
To tell truth, Tora feel that way too...!
Nia
What the heck have you got to cry about?!
Tipitapi
After this concert, fame of friend Ursula go through roof!
Next time, me able to bring voice of Ursula to even bigger masses, book even bigger stage!
Nia
Where is there a bigger stage?
Tipitapi
Ursula
Huh?!
Rex
Alba Cavanich? As in, the capital of Mor Ardain?
Tipitapi
Exactamundo! One and the same, meh.
Nia
Playing in the capital, huh...? I can't even imagine the crowd...
Tipitapi
Nobody ever try to play concert in Alba Cavanich before.
If we succeed at holding concert of this magnitude, friend Ursula be star likes of which world never see!
Ursula
...I...
Rex
Bit of a scary thought, eh?
Ursula
...Yes. A lot scary, even.
But...I still want to try. It seems a lot of people are interested in hearing me sing, after all.
Tipitapi
Yes yes, that the spirit! With that attitude, success is guaranteed!
...Ah, but to fill venue in Empire, friend Ursula will need even more fans.
Nia
How many exactly?
Tipitapi
By estimate of Teetapz, upwards of five thousand or so.
Nia
How many?! That's daft!
Tipitapi
Not at all! Friend Ursula have no problem in getting required numbers!
Ursula
Yes! I'll do my best!

Report to Tipitapi at Mymoma Playhouse[edit]

Tipitapi
Good news, friends! Empire issue permit for concert!
Considering audience numbers and stage design, size of this concert is unprecedented! World record!
Ursula
W-world record...
Tora
Is Teetapz TRYING to scare Ursula...?
Tipitapi
Teetapz is only Nopon, sometime get overexcited. Apologies.
Anyhow, preparations for concert be completed soon!
Don't rest on laurels yet, friends!
Ursula
Mmm... I...don't know if I can manage...
Tora
Is fine, is fine!
Nia
That's right. Just carry on as you've been doing, and everything will be dandy.
Ursula
...Mmm... Right.
Tipitapi
All right! So, Teetapz go ahead to Jakolo's Inn in Alba Cavanich. We hired inn as green room.
When friend Ursula ready, come rendezvous there!

Talk to Ursula at Jakolo's Inn[edit]

Ursula
...I...
Nia
Ursula, everything OK?
Ursula
...can't... I... I can't...
Dromarch
I cannot fault her for getting nervous when faced with a task of these proportions...
Nia
Just remember to breathe, OK? Try not to tense up.
Ursula
It's...no use, I'm scared stiff... Can't move, can barely speak...
Dromarch
Those are some serious symptoms...
Tora
What we do? What we do?!
Tipitapi
Maybe we buy something again? Friend Ursula, want eat something?!
Ursula
...No, I don't need anything... I don't think I could even...swallow...anything...
Rex
Ursula... You've got loads of fans waiting for you out there. What's wrong?
Ursula
I... I know that, believe me...
And I would like to...end all of this on a high, successful note...
But...I can't shake this dread, I can't stop thinking these thoughts, and I... I can't sing...
Tipitapi
Mmmeehhh, Teetapz is fresh out of ideas!
Nia
What do we do? I don't want to force Ursula to do anything against her will...
Rex
Is it the singing that she's stressed about?
Tora
Tora think issue is weight of expectations from big-big audience, and resulting pressure on self.
Rex
But think about it... When Ursula sang for the first time, she seemed to really be enjoying it.
She does love to sing, I'm sure of it.
Tipitapi
Now that friend say, it true. Teetapz remember the beautiful singing and the beautiful happy expression.
Rex
Hey, how about we ask that girl from Torigoth to come here?
Nia
Ohh, I get it! Remind Ursula of how it all started!
Rex
Right! That might unblock something inside her and make her want to sing again.
Tipitapi
It seem worth a try, meh. Can Teetapz count on friends?
Rex
Of course!
Nia
We met her at night, at Tretl Windmill Plaza, right?
Rex
Yeah, that's it.
Tora
OK, friends. Hurry-hurry then!

Talk to Kiara[edit]

Kiara
Hello! It's been a while!
Is the Miss doing OK?
Ah, I bet she's busy though... Isn't her big concert coming up sometime soon?
I'd hoped to show her how much I've grown as a musician...
Kiara
Oh, is that so...?
But... There's no guaranteeing that she'll listen to me...
Still, I guess it can't hurt to try.
Kiara
OK! In that case, I'm off!
I've never actually been to Alba Cavanich, can you believe? I wonder what kind of place it is!

Take Kiara to join Ursula[edit]

Kiara
Hey, Miss! Lovely to see you again!
Ursula
It's you, from before...
Kiara
You know what? I've been practicing a lot since then!
I've totally learned to sing and play the Torigonda at the same time!
I've heard you've been singing all around the world, too, Miss...
So I thought I'd better apply myself, and practiced a lot!
Ursula
...Oh my...
Kiara
Hey, Miss...?
Would you mind listening to my song?
Ursula
...Not at all. Please, go ahead.
The scene fades to black for a moment.
Ursula
Oh, that's really lovely...
Kiara
That means the world to me, coming from the most awesome person on Alrest right now.
Ursula
No, no... It wasn't flattery.
You looked so joyful when you played, that you filled me with joy too...
Kiara
I felt your joy as well, when you sang in the streets of Torigoth!
Ursula
My song gave you...joy...?
Kiara
I've heard you're worried about your singing, Miss. Is that true?
'Cos, you know, I think it'd be fine if you sang just the way you want, just like you did in Torigoth.
Don't mind the people or the stage. What you need to do, Miss, is put your feeling into the song, then let it go.
Ursula
...Yes, you're right. You're absolutely right.
I don't need to get worked up about the people who've come to listen...
I just have to stay true to myself and sing!
Kiara
Yes! Yes! That's it, right there!
Rex
Feeling better, now, Ursula?
Ursula
...Yes. I think I'm going to sing now!
Tora
Tora looking forward!
Tipitapi
Teetapz also sure, if Ursula sing as she always do, success is guaranteed.
Ursula
Yes... I'll do my best!
My song... I hope the world's ready for it!

Outro[edit]

Ursula successfully gives her concert in Nharil Central Plaza under the applause of the public.
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Ursula has met back up with Kiara and the party.
Ursula
Kiara...
That went great!
Kiara
Yeah! It was awesome!
You could really see how much you were enjoying yourself there!
Everyone really loved you! There were butterflies in our stomachs! And flapping birds in our hearts!
Ursula
It's all thanks to you, Kiara!
You spoke to me... If you hadn't have spoken to me that time, none of this would have happened.
Kiara, I've played the Torigonda that you lent me so much...
I said I'd give it back to you... I made that promise when we first met.
Perhaps...now is the time for me to return it.
Kiara
No...
I want you to keep the Torigonda...
I mean... Da can always make another one.
Ursula
Today feels like... A graduation ceremony of sorts.
I wanted to give a once in a lifetime performance...and I think I did.
Tipitapi
Me-meeeeh?!
It appears the producer was not made aware of Ursula's retirement beforehand.
Kiara
Really?
Ursula
I've always wanted to be brave in battle... To do my best for the sake of my friends...
I've had these thoughts since the start...
But out there, on stage...
With so many people listening to me, to my song...
I finally felt complete, whole. Ready to move on.
This finishes it for poor Tipitapi, who falls face first to the floor.
Tipitapi
Meh?! Memeh...
Kiara
That's incredible.
I'd be sad to think I'll never hear you sing again...
I bet everyone who came here today would be gutted, too.
Ursula
...
Kiara
But, it's up to you, of course!
I'm sure you'll do great things, whether as a fighter, or musician.
Ursula
Yes! I promise to make you proud!
But I had so much help from the Drivers and Mr. Teetapz...
Now it's my turn to give something back!
Kiara
That's the spirit!
Ursula
...
Ursula gives the Torigonda back to Kiara.
Ursula
Thanks for everything!
Kiara
You really are welcome!

Conclusion[edit]

Rex
Nice one, Ursula! It was worth working towards, right?
Nia
Good job, Ursula! All that hard work paid off, huh?
Mòrag
Well done, Ursula. A great culmination of your effort.
Zeke
Done and dusted, Ursula! Was worth keeping up the lessons, eh?
Ursula
Driver, I...[2]
I only made it this far with the singing thanks to you all.
It felt great. It was so much fun.
I managed to convey how I felt to so many people out there...
...Thank you all so much.
Rex
We didn't do anything.
It all happened because you believed in yourself and gave it a shot.
Nia
Nah, this was all you.
You worked your butt off and went out on a limb, that's everything.
Mòrag
We did nothing, Ursula.
You took a chance, and worked hard to achieve what you did. Take pride.
Zeke
But we didn't do anything!
This is all thanks to your confidence and willingness to try something new.
Ursula
Well... Thank you, regardless. For believing in me, and the support...
Thank you for helping me find this courage inside!
Driver, I hope I can make you proud![2]

Notes[edit]
