Meeting Alban[edit]

Alban
Hey, you. You're a Driver, ain'tcha?
Rex
Me? Yeah...?
Alban
So you are! Ah, what a stroke of luck!
I was just looking for someone to pick up a few bits 'n' bobs for me.
Rex
Bits and bobs...?
Alban
That's right. It was, oh, about a year ago now. My ship ran aground, and did I feel like a fool.
She was a good 'un, but I had to abandon her, along with all the cargo she was carrying.
Gorg
What sort of cargo are we talking here?
Alban
...Paintings.
Gorg
Oh?
Alban
That's what I was hoping you could pick up: my very own works of art.
Gorg
So you're an artist?
Alban
Not by trade, no.
But I dabble, and it is a passion of mine, I can't deny.
I'm not the best of artists, not by a long shot, but I still poured my heart and soul into those paintings.
I'd almost given up on them, to tell you the truth. But it's been a year now and I'm still dwelling on this...
Whadda you say? Could you help me out here?
Gorg
I can see that the paintings are very important to you...
All right. We'll get them back for you, I promise.
Alban
Really?! Oh, that's fantastic!
Rex
So where's this ship of yours that ran aground?
Alban
Ah, hmm. About that...
Gorg
Something wrong?
Alban
Well, it was my ship, but I wasn't exactly in command. I'd always left the navigation down to the captain.
And when it ran aground, I wasn't actually on board...
So, I'm afraid I can't tell you its exact co-ordinates...
Rex
Oh, come on!
Gorg
All right, it might take some looking around, then.
Alban
I imagine it will, yeah... I wonder where it got to.
Gorg
Hmm. Were you acquainted with any of the crew?
Alban
Oh, of course! One of them's bound to know something, eh?
Rex
So could you tell us a bit about your old crew, Alban?
Alban
Righto. I count three in town right now. They shouldn't be hard to track down.
Their names are Bennett, Gamri, and Rhidluk.
Thanks again, and good luck!
Gorg
No problem. We'll take care of this, Gorg's your uncle!

Listen to Alban's crew[edit]

Bennett[edit]

Bennett
You want to hear about Alban's beached ship?
I was a navigation officer back then. I was just starting out, too.
It was my first ever voyage. I still recall how the ship lurched from side to side...how my stomach was churning...
In fact, that's about the only thing I remember. I was on the verge of passing out...
Well anyway, we were heading out to the Cloud Sea, of that I'm sure. I threw up the moment we reached land...

Gamri[edit]

Gamri
Alban's ship? The one that ran aground?
Yeah, I was the helmsman.
That blasted Leftherian Archipelago... Ugh, I'm getting flashbacks...

Rhidluk[edit]

Rhidluk
Oh, Alban's ship?
I was just the chef, so I can't tell you much about where we landed...
But I can tell you there was some sort of village nearby. I know because I saw it.

Aim for the Isle of Terminomni[edit]

Rex
Uhh...this has to be it, right...? This piece of scrap...?
Gorg
I don't think it could be anything else, to be honest.
Nia
Then let's get what we came for and leg it out of here!
Gorg
Wait... There are Aligo nearby.
Looks like they've taken up nest inside the ship.
Nia
So we rush 'em down. What's the problem?
Gorg
Bravery and folly are two sides of the same coin.
These Aligo seem tougher than most. It wouldn't be wise to take them all on at once.
Rex
So what are going to do?
Gorg
I've got a plan. But first, we'll need to prepare some ingredients.
Mind helping me gather them?
Nia
Sure, I'll help. What is it you're after, though?
Gorg
We'll need a Beautiful Shoot, a few Lemon Stones, and some Hide 'n' Creepers.
They're all native to Leftheria, so they shouldn't be so hard to find.
When you've got the ingredients, come hand them over to me, OK? Off you go, now!

Gorg the Captain[edit]

The party made a fire on the Isle of Terminomni.
Dromarch
What is it you hope to achieve with this fire, Gorg?
Do tell us.
Gorg
To burn the stuff we've collected, of course!
Rex begins to throw what the party collected in the fire.
Nia
Seems a bit of a waste to burn all of this...
Gorg
Ah, it'll be fine.
The fire begins to emit a pink smoke.
Dromarch
What's this?
Gorg
Aligo are attracted by smells you know. It's a funny thing.
If we make skillful use of this, we can get them to come over here...
Dromarch
Perhaps...
Indeed, the things that we gathered earlier are giving off a certain odor.
Gorg
If the smell starts to waft over their way, they'll probably come over this way.
If we play it right, we can collect up the cargo without having to fight them.
Tora
Meh... That really enough to bring them?
Gorg
It's fine, it's fine. I know what I'm doing.
Now, let's find a good vantage point to watch the action unfold!
The party make their way to the side of the isle and wait.
The Aligo smell the smoke coming from the fire and make their way over there.
Dromarch
Excellent!
Gorg
Well, maybe we didn't get all of them. But it'll be a lot easier to collect what we need now.
Tora
Wow! Gorg a very dependable chap!
Gorg
Well, thanks! But y'know, I'm just doing my regular thing!

Report to Alban[edit]

Gorg
Hey. We're back with your paintings!
Alban
Oh, no kidding! Thanks, you lot! You're one in a million!
Yes, indeed, they all seem to be safe and accounted for!
...But now that I look at it, they're pretty poor, aren't they? I'd be embarrassed to show these in public.
Gorg
Nothing to be ashamed of, in my opinion.
There's a saying: "Passion is the road to betterment".
As long as you hold a passion for painting, there's no limit to what you can achieve.
Alban
You think? Yeah...maybe you're right!
You've started getting my creative juices flowing again.
I'm busy enough with my restaurant chain as it is, but maybe I can set aside some time to get back into it.
Gorg
Mm? Did you just say "restaurant chain"?
Alban
I did. What about it?
Are you interested in the food? Or maybe the cooking?
Gorg
Well...
As it happens, I'm sort of a...confectioner-cum-pâtissier, you could say. An enthusiast, at least.
I try not to give it much thought, though, being a Blade and all.
Alban
Oh, come on! After everything you just said, now you tell me you're trying to hide your own hobbies?
What happened to "Passion is the road to betterment"?
As long as you've got the passion, anything's possible, no?
Gorg
Heh, too true. You've got me there.
Alban
Now, about your reward... How about I lend out one of my shops to you? Tentatively, of course.
As it so happens, one of them's unoccupied at the moment.
You manage the shop itself and I'll handle the upkeep. But I will have to take a percentage of your earnings...
Well? Whadda ya say?
Gorg
Wow. I have to say, it's an incredibly tempting offer, but I'm afraid I'd have to decline, because, well...
Alban
Now, slow down. Why don't you take a look and see for yourself first?
If you like the look of the place, my offer still stands.
Gorg
But, I...
Rex
Come on, Gorg, we can at least go and see it, can't we?
If you still don't like it, you can always turn down his offer later on.
Gorg
Well...if you insist. Let's see it then.
Alban
It's at the plaza near the Fonsa Myma Gate. Take your time, look around.

Go to the shop[edit]

Gorg
Wow... This IS a swanky looking place, isn't it? And in an excellent location, too.
Mòrag
You seem to be quite enamored with it.
Gorg
I can't deny it. I'd love to set up shop in a place like this.
Mòrag
Then I see no reason for you not to accept Alban's kind offer.
Nia
But what are you gonna put on sale? You can't open shop without having some kind of supplies, right?
Gorg
Well, I've made all sorts of candy in my free time.
I thought maybe I could rustle up a few new recipes based on my past experiments.
Nia
Nice. Sign me up as a taste tester!
Gorg
But first, we'll need the raw ingredients. We can't start without those.
Mòrag
I see. Then tell us where to find them. We'll gather them for you.
Gorg
That'd be a great help, thanks.
All right, so first up we're going to make cookies. I've thought up three recipes we could use for that.
Hot Cookies, Neon Cookies and Blood Cookies.
I want to start off with a selection of those three and offer them to customers as samples.
Nia
Gotcha. Come on guys. Let's get moving before I start drooling in anticipation!

Make some delicious cookies[edit]

Trial Neon Cookies[edit]

Gorg
I'm really proud of this recipe, if I do say so myself. Cookies that change flavor with each one you try...
And the way they crumble in your mouth... Yeah, I'm liking this!
We can put this on the menu for sure!
Now, I think it's time we gave some thought to flans...
We can't just let the cookies steal all the limelight, can we?
I've already thought of four recipes we can use.
I just hope one of them will be good enough to sell as a staple here...

Trial Hot Cookies[edit]

Gorg
Hmm... It's not spicy, but somehow it makes you feel warm and tingly on the inside.
I'm getting a hint of Indoline tea leaves...
Wait... This isn't just spicy... My entire body is heating up!
Water... Water!!!
I don't think anyone will want a cookie that'll make them run for water. We'll have to start over.

Trial Bloody Cookies[edit]

Gorg
It's pretty mild... Maybe slightly bitter... These would definitely appeal more to the savory palate.
My one concern is the smell. It's not the most pleasant...
I don't think we'll be able to put this on the menu, no. We'll need to start over from scratch.

Make some delicious flan[edit]

Trial Laughcaf Flan[edit]

Gorg
Well, it has a very pleasant taste...
But it lacks that little something, that oomph... I think we should try again.

Trial Romello Flan[edit]

Gorg
Hmm...
It's the right consistency, all right, but I don't think it's really got enough sweetness to it.
I thought we might be able to evoke the warm fuzzy feeling of first love...
But it seems I don't have the skill for it. No, we'll have to redo it.

Trial Flumbleflan[edit]

Gorg
As I'm eating this...I can't help but feel incredibly sad...
My heart aches... I can feel tears welling up in my eyes...
There's nothing wrong with the taste, but I don't think anyone will order a dessert that makes them depressed...
We'll just have to try something else then.

Trial Snipe Flan[edit]

Gorg
Ah! It's like... My head seems to feel clearer with each bite!
These are incredibly appetizing!
Yeah, this will be perfect for the menu! Customers are sure to come back for more!
...Right. I think that's enough for the warming up stage.
We've got decent recipes lined up for the cookies and the flans, but now...
It's time to bring out the hallmark of any patisserie: the cake!
We're going to make the best cake Alrest has ever known and turn it into our number one product!

Make some delicious cake[edit]

Trial Starlit Tart[edit]

Gorg
Well, it's eye-catching, that's for sure.
But aside from that, it's not so special. It tastes just like any other torte.
I think we'll have to start over.

Trial Starry Waffle[edit]

Gorg
Hmm. I tried making waffles according to the alignment of the stars for good fortune, but, well...
I doubt we'll be ushering in any sort of luck with that taste...
We should probably try something a little less quirky, maybe.

Trial Glitterspud Cake[edit]

Gorg
I know I was trying to create a very sugary creation with this one...
But I may have overdone it a tad. A single serving of this would put anyone off sugar for a week...
I don't think it's ready to go on sale yet. We'll have to do it over.

Trial Lovemerry Cake[edit]

The party is around tables with pieces of the Lovemerry Cake on plates.
Gorg
There we go - it's finished!
Poppi α
If Poppi may say so, that looking very cute!
Gorg
Glad to hear it, Poppi. I hope the taste doesn't disappoint!
Poppi α
Poppi love this name, too. Lovemerry Cake sound very sweet!
Gorg
Kind of you to say! This here is my absolute masterpiece!
Alban
Well! This ain't half bad!
And these products... I can see they're incredibly well made. This place'll be bustling before you know it!
You're welcome to open up shop as soon as you like!
Gorg
Hmm, the thing is, I'm a traveler at heart. I was thinking we'd need to hire some employees for while I'm away.
Alban
Don't you worry about that. I can manage the staff here on my end.
Gorg
Oh, neat. Thank you!
But tell me... Why are you doing all this for me?
Alban
Well, we both have dreams that we want to realize. You helped me, so now I'm helping you. That's all there is to it.
I'm going to keep working on my painting skills too.
So you just keep making your sweets and that'll make us both happy-campers!
Gorg
I'm really grateful to you for all this. Thanks again.
I'll show you the best I can be, whether I'm fighting or baking.
Alban
Still early days for the latter though, wouldn't you say?
Gorg
Haha! True enough!
Alban
It'll be getting busy soon. Get your friends to help out, won't you?
Gorg
Oh, I'm sure they won't mind!

Gorg the Patissier[edit]

Gorg
Mòrag, would you mind helping in the kitchen?
Mòrag
Hmm? You want me to help?
Gorg
Yeah, I'm sure you'd be first rate at this kind of thing.
Mòrag
Really? Well, I don't have much experience, but I'll do what I can.
Mòrag makes her way to the kitchen.
Gorg
Tora and Poppi... Could I ask you to get some more ingredients?
Tora
Yes yes!
Poppi α
Please input quantities and products!
Gorg
36 Choice Cherries...and 62 Love Raspberries...
102 measures of Mookah Flour...and 57 Cranberry Bells.
Tora
Got it! Tora and Poppi will fetch!
Tora and Poppi go to fetch what Gorg asked.
Gorg
Dromarch, could you perhaps go and get the other essentials?
Dromarch
Why, of course. I'll be back in a jiffy.
Dromarch leaves.
Gorg
Everyone else... You're in charge of PR!
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Mòrag is mixing dough.
Pandoria and Brighid are chatting with customers while Rex, Nia and Zeke advertise the shop.
Rex
Roll up! Gorg's Just Desserts is officially open!
Zeke
Come see! Possibly the first chance in history to taste the Blade-made desserts!
Nia
Forget the rest! Get the best!
Gorg is making cake in front of Urayan children.

Conclusion[edit]

Rex
Looks like everyone really loves your sweets, Gorg. Me included!
When all the fighting's over and we can finally settle down, I can't wait to see you make a name for yourself!
Nia
Looks like everyone's gone gaga over your sweets, Gorg. Me included!
When all this fighting nonsense is over, I hope we can all sit down and enjoy your sweets in peace.
Mòrag
It seems everyone is quite besotted with your sweets, Gorg. I myself am no exception.
When the war has ended and peace is restored, I look forward to seeing your business flourish.
Zeke
I have to say, people have gone bonkers over your sweets, Gorg! That goes for me as well!
Once we're finished with all this fighting malarkey, you should settle down here. Do what you love most.
Gorg
I'd never have gotten this opportunity if you hadn't awakened me from my Core Crystal.
Driver...[1]
I exist to serve you, to keep you safe.
So it never really crossed my mind to think about what I'd do after I left the battlefield.
But maybe someday...when this is all over...
I'll make candy for you, and we can all sit down together and have a blast!
What do you say? Will you let me subject you to some sweet, sweet celebration?
Rex
Definitely!
Nia
But of course!
Mòrag
I look forward to it.
Zeke
Heck yeah!

Notes[edit]
