Meeting Vess[edit]

Vess is talking to herself.
Vess
Oh my... Well, this is a bit of a sticky situation, isn't it?
Rex
Um, can I help you?
Vess
Oh! Hello there!
Nia
You don't often see a Blade wandering about on her own. Where's your Driver?
Vess
My name is Vess. As it happens, I'm actually a Blade.
Nia
Um, yeah, I literally just said that...
Rex
You seemed to be worrying about something. Anything we can do?
Vess
Yes, well...I came here to do some shopping, but they don't have what I'm looking for in stock...
And since Mor Ardain are regulating what gets through to Gormott...
there are a lot of products that don't make it to the marketplace.
I know! Would you mind terribly picking out some ingredients for me?
I would go myself, but I don't really have the luxury of straying too far.
Please. I'd be very grateful.
Nia
Sure, I don't mind. So what's this fancy stuff you're after?
Vess
Oh, I'm not sure you could call it fancy per se...
I'm looking for 5 clumps of Salty Soil, 8 portions of Gromrice, and 5 Ruby Mangosteens.
I'm always in the area, so just come back here when you're done.
Tora
Tora understand. Will be waiting here too.

Take the ingredients to Vess[edit]

Vess
Why, thank you! This is everything isn't it?
It must have taken you quite some time.
Vess
No, really, thank you!
Could I perhaps invite you round for dinner? Really it's the least I could do.
Vess
My house is on the far side of Tretl Windmill Plaza. Do come!

Go to Vess's house[edit]

Vess
Oh, hello again!
Mabon
Mm? Visitors?
Vess
Indeed! These sweet people were kind enough to help me with the shopping. I thought we might treat them to a meal.
Mabon
Eh, what the heck. Grub's better when you can enjoy it in good company. Make yourselves at home.
Vess
This is Mabon, my Driver.
He's not the spring chicken he used to be, but he was once quite the formidable warrior, believe it or not!
I suppose you could call this his retirement home. Just don't tell him that, tee hee...
Tora
Vess sound very happy.
Nia
You can tell they get on well together.
Vess
I'll start preparing dinner then, shall I? Won't be long!
Rex
Is there anything we can help you with?
Vess
Oh, well now that you mention it...
How about fetching us some firewood?
Rex
Firewood. Got it!
Vess
Just talk to Dward down at Saets Lumber Co. He's always happy to give us some.
Thank you so much for all this!

Talk to Dward[edit]

Dward
So you're fetching firewood for Vess, eh?
Tch, and here I was looking forward to saying hello to her...
Dward
Kidding, kidding. My humor's a little on the dry side.
Just head over to the scrap wood pile. You'll find plenty of firewood there. Help yourselves.
Dward
Incidentally, how's the old man keeping? Still his sprightly self?
Dward
Good to hear, good to hear.
I owe a lot to Mabon, way back when.
He's Ardainian, himself, but he moved here to Torigoth of his own accord.
Up until recently, he was teaching Gormotti Drivers how to handle themselves.
But his body couldn't keep up with it. Hell of a thing, old age.
Anyway, I'd better let you go. Best not keep Vess waiting, eh?

Vess's Comestibles[edit]

Mabon is eating something.
Rex
We're back
Mabon is startled and begins to choke on his food.
Mabon
Mmgh?! *cough*
Just waltz in unannounced, why don't you!
Rex
Oh, sorry...
It's just that Vess asked us to fetch some firewood...
Mabon
Oh she did, did she? Well, good on you kids. You can leave it over there for now.
Nia
Hey, what was that you were up to just now?
Mabon
Eh? What was what?
Dromarch
Well, it seemed as if you had swallowed something in your surprise.
Mabon
Nothing gets past you lot, does it?
I happened to be eating an Urayan delicacy. Choclit, they call it.
Tora
Choclit?! Is it tasty?
Mabon
Oh, you have no idea!
Creamy sweetness with a not of bitter almonds, intermingling in perfect harmony.
One bite of the stuff and you'll never go back!
Tora
It sound so tasty, Tora already losing mouthwater!
Tora want to try it!
Vess
Dear oh dear...
The group turns to look at a newly arrived Vess.
Vess
Mabon, how old are you? Eating Choclit in secret again, like a naughty schoolchild.
Mabon
Ah... Vess?! No, it's not what you think!
Vess
Haha, I don't think so.
How many times have I told you? You mustn't eat it all at once!
Mabon
Uh, well, you see, the thing is...
Dromarch
You know, that Vess's got quite a presence sometimes, doesn't she?
Nia
You can say that again. I'd hate to get on her bad site.
Vess
You can't eat so much of this stuff, or your health is going to suffer!
I'll take these, thank-you-very-much!
Mabon
Aww. But... But...
Vess
There's no use looking at me like that. I'm not falling for your tricks ever again.
Mabon
Hmph! Spoilsport.
Vess
Now, come on! Don't be like that. Whatever will our guests think?
Come, everyone. Dinner is served!
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, the party is now sitting at the table with Mabon.
Rex
...Are these dumplings?
Dromarch
...They are indeed dumplings.
Nia
Uhh...isn't there anything else?
Tora
...Where is rest of food?
Vess
Ha, I'm afraid that's all there is.
Rex
So we've been dumped with nothing but dumplings...
Vess
Correct. Just dumplings tonight. After all, they are my specialty.
Mabon
You should try them. They're delish, really!
Second-best thing I ever tasted!
Dromarch
Only second-best?
Mabon
Yeah, first one being choclit, by a mile!
Mabon takes one of the dumplings and begins to eat it.
Vess
Oh do give it a rest, Mabon. It's bad manners.
Ah, please, feel free to tuck in. Help yourselves!
Rex
Hrmmm...
Tora
This delicious!
Tora has already started eating.
Nia and Dromarch follow suit.
Nia
Listen to Tora. It's not half bad!
Dromarch
It's seasoned with just enough salt.

Mabon asks for Choclit[edit]

Mabon
Can I ask you to buy me a sneaky bit of Bitter Choclit on the side?
I can't ask Vess or she'll just lecture my lugs off.
She never buys the stuff for me.
Nia
You're a crafty old man, you know that?
Fine. We'll get some of this choclit for you.
Mabon
Good lass.
Ah, would you mind buying us a Fruity Rice Ball along with the choclit?
Rex
Where do we find these things?
Mabon
For choclit, you'll want to go to Fonsa Myma.
But Fruity Rice Balls? There's a dearth of them these days.
They used to be all over Gormott. Argentum, too.
I don't know, maybe we'll see a resurgence once trade improves.
Rex
All right. We'll find it somehow!
Mabon
Thanks, lad. I'm counting on you!

Give the Choclit to Mabon[edit]

Mabon
Ohh, what a treat! This is exactly the choclit I was after. Thank you kindly!
Could you deliver the rice ball to Vess for me? Ta.
I'm sure she'll be pleased with it.

Give the Fruity Rice Ball to Vess[edit]

Vess
Ah, that brings back memories... I used to eat these all the time.
You don't see much of them around these days...
But how did you know I liked these rice balls?
Vess
Ahh, so Mabon told you... I see what's going on here.
Vess
He asked you to buy him some choclit, didn't he?
Vess
I knew it.
He thought he could fool me, did he...
Honestly, I don't know what to do with that man any more. I'll have to give him a proper telling off.

Report back to Mabon[edit]

Rex
We gave her the Fruity Rice Ball.
Tora
She said she give you big telling off later!
Nia
I still think you made her day, though.
Mabon
Heck, there's no getting past her, is there? I'll have to brace myself then, won't I? Ha ha ha!
Urrggh *cough cough hack*
Nia
Hey! Are you OK, mister?
Mabon
*cough cough splutter*
Tora
Me go call Vess!
Mabon
W-wait! *cough cough* I'll be... *pant pant* I'll be fine...
There's no use worrying the lass. I'd appreciate it if you could keep this quiet from her.
Nia
Yeah, but...
Mabon
I'm fine. Don't you worry, I'm not going to keel over and kick the bucket just yet.
That reminds me... Mind if I bother you with one more little errand?
Rex
You want us to get some medicine?
Mabon
Medicine? No. Let's see... It was about...30 years ago now, back when I was still serving.
Me and Vess, we got our hands on a pair of golden bracers.
Rex
Whoa!
Mabon
Yeah. A rare find, isn't it?
We were never particularly pressed for money back in those days, so we decided to hide 'em.
I want you to bring 'em back gor me.
Rex
OK, can do. Where did you put them?
Mabon
In the Fief of Forgetfulness in Mor Ardain.
Thing is, according to Vess...
Vess
According to Vess...?
Mabon
Ah, perfect timing! I was asking Rex here if he wouldn't mind fetching those old bracers we buried back in the day.
In the Fief of Forgetfulness, wasn't it?
Vess
No, no, I think you've gotten mixed up.
It was at the Ruins of Fountain Park in the Kingdom of Uraya, as I recall.
Mabon
Oh, er...was it? I don't remember burying them there...
Vess
No, I'm positive. It was definitely in Uraya.
Mabon
Hmm...
Oh, I don't know any more. Check the both of those places and they'll turn up eventually!
Nia
Wow. Talk about careless...
Rex
Well if he can't remember, I guess there's no way around it. We'll just have to check both of those places out.

Give the golden bracers to Mabon[edit]

Rex
Hey, Mr. Mabon! We found what you were looking for!
Mabon
Oh, you did? Let's have a look... Yes! That's them all right!
Tora
It turn out you both right! We find one in Mor Ardain, and other in Uraya!
Mabon
Is that right? Well I never!


You're good kids for doing all this, you know that? Thank you.

Rex
Eh, it was nothing.
Mabon
Now, there's one last thing I'd like you to do for me.
Nia
Ugh, there's more?
Mabon
'Fraid so. I need you to deliver those bracers to my son and daughter.
They've each got their own families now, out living in different nations.
Nia
Fine. I guess we might as well see this through to the end.
Mabon
That's the ticket! Thank you, lass.
My son's name is Antis. He should be in Alba Cavanich in Mor Ardain.
And my daughter's called Noelle. She's living in Fonsa Myma, in Uraya.
I trust you to get the bracers to them. And of course, I'll be sure to reward you handsomely when you're done!

Give one golden bracer to Noelle[edit]

Noelle
Yes? How can I help you?
Noelle
From daddy?
Oh gosh... Well, thank you for coming all the way here to deliver it.
Wait...this is a golden bracer! It looks so expensive. I'm not sure I can accept this...
But then again, it is from Daddy...
How're he and Vess doing these days?
Vess looked after me and my brother for most of my childhood, you know.
She's very calm and gentle for a Blade. The kindest one I know.
Oh, that reminds me...here.
It's a necklace made from Pione Stone.
If you see Vess, could you please pass it on to her?
Noelle
Thank you. That's very kind of you.

Give one golden bracer to Antis[edit]

Antis
Hello? Who are you...?
Antis
Oh, from Daddy? Well, thanks for this. Must've been quite a trek.
Golden bracers... I remember hearing about these when I was a kid.
Daddy and Vess are still their same old selves, I take it? I haven't seen them for yonks.
Don't tell me – Vess is still making her same old dumplings?
Me and my sister used to love those.
We ought to all get together again sometime. I'd love to see Vess again.
Oh, yeah...
Could you pass this onto Daddy for me? It's an accessory. I made it myself.
He'll probably never use it, but at least it'll remind him how we are.
Antis
Thanks a lot.

Report to Mabon again[edit]

Rex
We're back!
Mabon
Ah, good to see you!
Vess
So? How were the bairns?
Nia
They seemed to be getting on just fine, from what I saw.
Tora
Made sure to hand over golden bracers!
Mabon
Good, good. That's another thing off my mind.
Vess
How were Antis and Noelle? They must have grown quite a bit since I last saw them...
Dromarch
They both looked like fine, respectable grown-ups.
Rex
Oh yeah, they asked us to give you some things in return.
Vess
Oh, how delightful!
Nia
Said they'd love to have a reunion sometime, too.
Vess
Oh, that would be wonderful. I'm getting excited already!
I haven't seen them since they got married. How many years has it been now...?
We really must set a date! Oh, isn't this good news, Mabon?
Mabon
It is indeed!
So they're getting on just fine, are they? I was worrying over nothing, as usual.
Pyra
Mr. Mabon's looking very happy.
Nia
'Course he is! Hearing your kids are coming to visit after a long time, anyone would be!

Vess's Conclusion[edit]

Mabon's stomach rumbles.
Mabon
Hold on, my belly's starting to rumble.
Vess
Oh goodness, is it that late already?
Don't worry - I won't be ten minutes! I'll make enough for everyone.
Mabon
So, what's on the menu today?
Vess
I'll give you three guesses.
Mabon
Oh all right, I'll play along. Could it be...dumplings?
Vess
Spot on!
Vess goes to the kitchen in the back of the house.
Mabon begins to cough violently.
Gramps
You all right there, man?
Mabon
Yeah, don't you worry. Just a pesky little cough.
She's a sweet lass, isn't she?
Nia
Totally. And her cooking's top notch.
Tora
If making of dumplings is same as cooking...
Dromarch
She is perhaps a little misguided at times, but her love and compassion cannot be faulted.
Mabon
Right...
My life never amounted to much, to be honest with you.
I did some reckless things in my time, all to be the center of attention.
And every time I bungled something up, Vess and the kids'd suffer for it somehow.
But Vess, she stuck by my side all the same.
Vess is shown cooking.
Mabon
She took the role of my dearly departed, bless her soul, and started looking after the kids for me.
She's become a part of the family now. I don't know what we'd do without her.
Mabon begins to cough again.
Mabon
And that's why...
I just want her to have a good life. Do you know what I'm saying?
Mabon is now coughing violently again.
Rex
Are you all right?!
Mabon
I'm fine! I just need to lie down for a bit.
Dromarch
That seems like the best course of action.
Mabon
Let me just...close my eyes a moment...
Mabon lies against the wall, closes his eyes then, after a moment, goes limp.
Rex
M-Mabon...?
The sound of Vess returning to her core can be heard. The party turns to see a blue flash coming from the kitchen while the sound of a plate hitting the ground can be heard.
Vess's core is shown, with a few dumplings and the plate, on the ground.

After Mabon's death[edit]

Tora
He fall asleep...?
Dromarch
No. I'm afraid he's already...
Nia
No...
Gramps
Everyone's got to go someday. Even Drivers.
It's a terrible thing, but that's just the way of the world...
Rex
...
Ah...wait, where's Vess?
Dromarch
Drivers and Blade are inextricably linked. I expect she will have returned to her Core Crystal...
Rex
I'm gonna go and check on her!
Nia
I'll come with you!

Find Vess[edit]

Rex
It's true, then. She really did go back...
Nia
It'll have happened so suddenly... It must have been a real shock.
Tora
We able to awaken her again?
Gramps
You'll have to wait a while first for the color to return to how it was before.
Tora
But...that mean memories of Mabon all going to disappear?
Gramps
I'm afraid so...
Dromarch
It is an inevitable part of the cycle. Such is the fate of all Blades.
Nia
But we remember.
Poppi α
That right...
If Poppi and others still remember, we have power to teach Vess about past.
Poppi sure she will be more than happy to rediscover old memories.
The front of the house is shown.
Rex
Yeah... You're right.
Mabon only wanted the best for Vess. We have to do what we can to make her happy.
