#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday to ya! I reckon we should celebrate! Get yerself o'er here an' I'll fix you somethin' good to eat, yeah? Oops... I slipped into my accent again. I meant to say have a seat and I'll whip up a tasty treat!
2	✔	Happy birthday to ya! I reckon we should celebrate! I'm deeply indebted to ya, (Captain). But I'm gonna work harder to make sure the next year goes by easier! Don't work yourself too hard! And let's be sure to celebrate your birthday again next year!
3	✔	(Captain), I owe so much to ya. Even my ma back home says she wants to meet ya when she gets better. Wants to give proper thanks. Joinin' your crew has been life changin' for me, see. So I'm much obliged... And today's a special day for the person who means so much to me. Let's go all out and celebrate!
4	✔	(Captain), you know what day it is today? Uh oh, don't tell me ya done forgot! It's the day you were born on, (Captain). Happy birthday! Every year I think the same thing. I had some good gosh-darn luck comin' 'cross you, (Captain). You're real nice to country people like me, and you learned me all kinds of neat things too. Today's gonna be the day I pay you back for everything. Can't say it's fancy, but I'm putting on a big ol' hootenanny for ya! I'd be happier than a pig in mud to hear you like it!
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! It's been a while since we first met, but I never get tired of celebratin' your big day. You just keep improvin', and more people keep joinin' the crew. It's burstin' at the seams by now. That tickles me as pink as if it were me. I gotta work hard so I don't lose to you or the other fellers in the crew! But first it's time to celebrate! This year I'm gonna use the ingredients my mum sent to give you a taste of my hometown!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year to ya! Here's to another year together! It sure is chilly outside. Better stay in with a warm bite to eat and relax!
2	✔	Hey there, (Captain)! You sure look sleepy. Did you just wake up? Ha-ha, you overslept, yeah? Tried to keep awake to see the first sunrise, I see. Oops! Pardon my manners! Happy New Year! I should've started with that! Here's to hopin' ya wake up on time throughout the year and give it yer best!
3	✔	New Year's celebrations in the big city are one of a kind! This place is bustlin' compared to the country! Sure are a lot of folks walkin' around in their fancy duds... I wanna take my ma to a lively town like this one day. Ha-ha! Her eyes might pop right out of her head when she sees it though!
4	✔	Happy New Year's to you and yours! You ever seen anything as fancy as this here city in the holidays? All along the street you got them food tents, folk every which way you look... You got the hustle, and you got the bustle too... It sure is pretty, don't you think, (Captain)? Probably ain't no surprise to someone like you though. Heehee, I don't know though... I'm startin' to turn into a bit of city boy myself! Maybe it ain't my place to say, but it feels like I fit in a teeny more than last year. Gotta work real hard to take in everything this year too. Ain't that right, (Captain)?
5	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain)! It's gonna be a boatload of fun this year! I'm about to go pound some mochi. Hehe, I was the best of the best in my village. Even Mum couldn't get enough of the mochi I made. I was so over the moon that I lost track and made a mountain o' it. Hey, (Captain), you like mochi too? Well, shut my mouth! Then you better eat up!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy Valentine's Day! Is that what you say? We don't have any holidays like this back home. You're givin' me chocolate? Much obliged! I'll be sure to get you somethin' in return! Just you wait!
2	✔	What brings ya here, (Captain)? Well looky here! Is that chocolate for me? Thanks a bunch! I didn't expect to get anything from ya, so it's a mighty fine surprise! Sure glad that you remembered me today. Thanks again! I'll eat these up later! And I'll need to return this gesture of kindness too. Just you wait!
3	✔	Oh... You give a gift to people you appreciate and not just the ones you fancy? Ha-ha! Oh, boy! You surprised me for a second, but I had the wrong idea... I know someone who'd be pleased as pie to hear that you appreciate me, (Captain)... Thanks a lot!
4	✔	Ah, (Captain)! What in the blue sky're you doin' here? Huh? You came to see little ol' me? And you got some chocolates too? Well... Today's the day for that kinda stuff, ain't it? (Captain), I really gotta thank you for this. Them ones you gave me last year were real tasty. I cain't hardly wait to eat these ones.
5	✔	Thanks for another year of chocolates, (Captain). It makes me happy knowin' how much effort ya put into these. It'd be a waste of your hard work not to eat all of these, but... On the flip side, it's kinda hard to eat somethin' ya poured your heart into, ya'know? So my answer is to savor 'em slowly but surely. Oops! I haven't forgotten to return the favor, (Captain). Just you wait!

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy White Day! Now just hold on a sec and I'll give you somethin' good to eat! I left it back in my quarters! Thanks for everything though... Oh, you've got me blushin' now!
2	✔	Aah... This won't do... Oh! (Captain)! Now I'm embarrassed! I'm lookin' mighty anxious, you say? Don't say that! Now I'm even more embarrassed! Ahem... So I tried to look for something cute to give ya, but I wasn't quite sure what to get... I'm worried whether or not you'll like it, but please take this! Well blow me down! I'm glad you like it! Nothin' makes me happier than seeing you happy, (Captain)!
3	✔	I'm always grateful for ya, (Captain), so I went and got ya a gift. I hope you'll accept it. Ha-ha! I'm happy if you're happy! Honestly I wasn't sure if I should make you something or buy you something... Sorry for being such a country boy... You've got your own countryside over in Zinkenstill, you say? That's nice of ya to mention, so thanks! But I think next year I'll try and make ya something, (Captain)!
4	✔	Uh, uh, (Captain)! Hold up! Don't go nowhere. Here, take this. It's for them chocolates you gave me. Made it all by my lonesome. I flavored it up how we do in my neck of the woods. Truth be told, I dunno if it'll suit your fancy. I worked real hard on it though, so I'd be happy as a clam if you try some. Don't worry if you can't eat none though... Huh? You like it? What a relief... Good thing I worked so darn hard! Guess I gotta keep tryin' next year, huh?
5	✔	Howdy, (Captain)! One White Day gift comin' up! I remember you sayin' how much ya liked the country flavor of last year's chocolates. So this year I figured I'd try some country-cookin' instead. These are pickled vegetables. It doesn't really fit White Day's theme of givin' sweets, but I just wanted ya to get a taste of my hometown. Oh? You think they're delicious? Phew... That's a real brow-wiper. I can't keep my joy bottled up when I see you smilin'!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy Halloween! Wow! Take a gander at all this! Everyone's really getting into the costumes and pranks! Should I get in on the fun?
2	✔	Yoo-hoo, vegetables for everyone! Hey, don't look so surprised! I'll give you some candy, so let's stop it with the trick or treat threats. I knew I had to up the ante when I saw everyone with their costumes and tricks!
3	✔	Thought I'd take a gander at this homemade candy cookbook and whip up a batch of these temptin' treats... I'll give these folks a treat before they give me a scare! I can't take their tricks... C'mon, (Captain)! You'll have a bite, won't ya? How is it? Melts in your mouth, huh? Ha-ha, I knew you'd like it!
4	✔	Looks like Halloween's come 'round again this year. Well I got something to say to you, (Captain). Ahem... Trick or treat! Whatcha think? Didn't sound too funny, did it? Phew, that's a relief to hear! Guess I said it real good. Everyone and their brother's always hollering it at me, so I just had to try it out myself. Huh? How come you're giving me candy all of a sudden? No fooling! I never knew that's what it meant! Ahaha... I wanted so say trick or treat so bad that I never bothered to think about the meaning. Good thing you gave me treats, (Captain). I don't wanna play no tricks on you!
5	✔	Trick or treat! Hehe, I done nailed it this year too. Oh, that one was only practice, (Captain). Don't worry 'bout givin' me no treats... Sorry, here I am takin' candy from you again. But I ain't got the heart to play a trick on ya. So I'm awful glad you were carryin' some treats. But I guess if somebody ain't got no candy, I'll have to trick 'em... I can't think o' no tricks to play though. What'll I do? You'll help me think somethin' up? Well, bless your heart, (Captain)! That'd be great.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy holidays! What's that? You're worried about Santa Claus making it here through all this snow? Ah! No problem! Our town gets tons of snow, but he always makes it there just fine.
2	✔	Santa Claus must be havin' it rough in this cold, yeah? I heard he comes on a sleigh, and that's more than a mite chillier than an airship, I reckon. It'd sure be nice if he could stop and have some warm milk and cookies with us... But he's so busy, there's no way he'll have time, yeah?
3	✔	Good golly! I've never seen a cake this big! I guess that's what you get from the big city. You didn't buy it, but you made it yourself? Well, hot dog! I can't believe my eyes or my ears! Thanks for the slice, (Captain)! Yum... Hm? This cake is so good I wanna go swimmin' in a pool of the batter! Even the apple on top had me droolin' for more! Ooh wee, I'm in heaven!
4	✔	Dad fetch my buttons, if it ain't (Captain)! A happy holiday to ya! I tell ya, today's a real special day. This big 'ol city's quiet as a mouse for once... It feels real blessed or somethin'. Huh? You're wondering what I was doin' up this way all by my lonesome? All ya'll in the crew're gonna have that big holiday hoe-down, but I just get so gosh-darn nervous... I sure hate to ask you a favor, but... (Captain), would you mind stickin' by my side if I go? No foolin'? Well shucks, (Captain), there ain't nothing gonna spook me when you're by my side! A little bird told me there's gonna be some nice and tasty cake at that party. Last year was such a hoot. I get ants in my pants just thinkin' 'bout this one!
5	✔	Hiyo, (Captain). Snow's really comin' down this year. I'm used to city livin' now, but seein' all this snow pilin' up reminds me of the mountains. But it's nothin' like my hometown snow! That stuff'll bury you good. When it comes to ease of livin', city dwellin' takes the cake. Haha, listen to me talk like city folk! Well, I've been livin' this way for a while now, y'know! The country boy in me'll never change, but I can safely say I've done some growin' up, (Captain).

Fate Episodes

Momma-Lovin' Country Boy

While transporting goods from the Knickknack Shack, the crew finds Norcel beset by a hooligan. However, before the crew can help, the hooligan, intimidated by Norcel's apparently superhuman strength, flees. Norcel tells the crew that he's looking for work to help his sick mother, and they invite him to join.

---

Entrusted with the transportation of goods from the Knickknack Shack to a different island, the crew is on its way back to the airship with a cart in tow.

Lyria: Try to take it easy, (Captain). This stuff is pretty heavy.

Vyrn: What a pain... Maybe I should go get more people from the airship to come help.

As the crew struggle to pull the heavy cart, they suddenly hear shouting nearby.

Hooligan: Hey, watch where you're going, klutz!
Ouch... I think you broke something! Thanks to you, I'm gonna have to have a doctor look at this.

???: A doctor? Whoa, I'm sure sorry 'bout that.

Hooligan: Oh yeah? Let's see how sincere you are. Gimme your money!

???: Money? But I just started lookin' for work. I done got no money!

Hooligan: What? Then how are you gonna pay? I know! Hand over that that big ol' book you got there. It looks like it's worth something.

???: Hell's bells! This book's mine!

Vyrn: Look! That kid's being robbed! We gotta do something!

Hooligan: Just shut up and gimme that book! What the? This thing's heavy!

After struggling to jerk the massive book out of the Harvin youth's hands, the hooligan drops it right on his own foot.

Hooligan: Youch! What kind of book is this?

???: Ugh. That's what we get for fightin' over it. Now it's in the dirt!

???: But aren't you hurt? Get on my back and we'll get ya to a doctor. Hop to it now!

Hooligan: Sorry for messing with you! You must be some kinda monster to be able to carry a book like that!

???: Hey! Where you going?

Vyrn: Hold it! That one's nothing but a thug! Just let him go.

???: A thug? You serious? Yowie...

Lyria: Are you okay? This is your book, right? Let me just pick it up fo—This is heavy!

???: Let me get that. This book sort of has a curse on it. Makes it heavy.

Lyria: Wow! How can you lift that thing so easily? It's just amazing!

???: Well shucks, it's really no big deal. You tryin' to make a fella blush?

???: You can do some magic by recitin' from this book, but it's plenty heavy enough to take the bark right out of any dog.

Lyria: Um... What's that about dogs?

???: I beg your pardon. I just mean this book's a pain in the neck.

???: Sorry 'bout the accent. You see, I come from the most remote mountain village on an island where the snow piles up something fierce.

Lyria: Don't worry about it. I think you sound cute.

???: There you go again! Name's Norcel by the way.

Lyria: Oh! We haven't introduced ourselves either. I'm Lyria, and these two are (Captain) and Vyrn.

Norcel: Y'all seem pretty nice. I've heard that city slickers are cold, but you seem warm enough.

Vyrn: So, Norcel... What brings you from the mountains all the way to this town?

Norcel: Well, my poor mum's bedridden. Seems she's got somethin' bad.

Norcel: But she does better while she's got her medicine, so I came to earn some money.

Lyria: I see... I sure hope your mom's okay.

Norcel: Yeah. I think I could help her if I could just have the right doctor look at her...

Vyrn: For sure. Even if a bit of medicine makes her feel better temporarily, nothing trumps a full recovery.

Norcel: Problem is it seems like the folks around here aren't used to Harvins.

Norcel: Everyone seems to think I'm a young 'un. Makes it right hard to find work.

Vyrn: I hear you. I can see where someone who didn't know better would mistake a Harvin for a kid.

1. How about joining our crew?
2. Are you a man or a woman?

Choose: How about joining our crew?

Norcel: For real? I'll do anything I can to help! Never been in a fight before though...

Norcel: But I can hunt rabbits, sharpen weapons, and make shoes. Do ya reckon that'll be useful?

Vyrn: You bet! It's great to meet someone with so many talents! Welcome aboard!

Norcel: Seems like I'll be taggin' along for a while, (Captain). Lookin' forward to helpin' out.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Are you a man or a woman?

Norcel: Wha? I'm a man, but I thought it was clear enough...

Lyria: Really? I hate to admit it, but I was off on that one...

Norcel: Well, gosh... I had no idea it was so hard to tell.

Norcel: But maybe that's why I always get turned down for manual labor?

Vyrn: Yikes. It really pains me to hear that.

Norcel: What's that, (Captain)? You wanna know if I'm any good at manual labor?

Norcel: You know, with all the snow back home, I often ended up carryin' stacks of firewood taller than myself...

Vyrn: Whoa! Taller than you? I can only imagine!

Norcel: Oh yeah? Well, it's nothin' special in my village... Hm? Something wrong, (Captain)?

Norcel: My stars and garters! You're gonna let me join your crew? Not sure how useful I'll be though...

Lyria: I'm sure you'll be fine! We take on so many different types of assignments.

Lyria: With you on our side, we should be able to take on more types of work than before!

Norcel: Is that a fact? Well, let me know if there's ever anything I can do.

Norcel: Seems like I'll be taggin' along for a while, (Captain). Lookin' forward to helpin' out.

Continue 1

Norcel: That must be your cart. I'd be happy to carry it for you.

Lyria: Seriously? But you could hurt yourself trying to carry something like that on your own!

Norcel: Onto my back it goes! Hm? Did you just say something?

Lyria: Wow! You're even stronger than I thought!

Norcel: Much obliged, but there's really no need. This hardly even counts as work.

Norcel: Ah, what nice weather! A fella could cross the mountains on a day like this.

Norcel wandered about aimlessly after leaving the countryside, but fate has led him right into the open arms of (Captain) and the crew.

Given how much he's done for his mother, his new friends can likely expect the same level of dedication.

Agony of the Magic Tome

As (Captain) and company discuss their next destination, Norcel tells them he wants to send a letter to his mother. The crew heads for the Knickknack Shack to drop the letter off.

---

Norcel: Excuse me, (Captain). Got a minute?

Norcel walks up while (Captain) and company are deciding on their next destination.

Norcel: Will we be goin' to the Knickknack Shack anytime soon? I wanna send a letter to my mum.

Lyria: Oh? In that case, let's go to the Knickknack Shack now. Right, (Captain)?

Lyria: We happen to be free, and we can ask if there are any new requests while we're at it.

In agreement with Lyria's suggestion, (Captain)'s crew starts heading toward the Knickknack Shack.

Norcel: He he...

Lyria: What is it? You've been all smiles today!

Norcel: Ah! Well, this is kinda embarrassin', but...

Norcel: I was just thinkin', I'm glad to have you kind folks as my friends.

Vyrn: Wha? F-flattery won't get you anywhere, you know?

Lyria: Hehe, sounds like it works well enough on you.

Norcel: I only said it 'cause I mean it. I really think y'all are good people.

Norcel: Travelin' with this crew reminds me of the folk tales I grew up on. It's right excitin'!

Norcel: And my mum's always happy to read my letters 'bout our adventures.

Vyrn: Hehe, glad to hear that!

Norcel: My mum also has her medicine now, so she's feelin' a lot better...

Norcel: The medicine lady told her that the right doctor could probably even cure her.

Lyria: Really? That's just wonderful! We better hurry up and find that doctor!

Norcel: Much obliged, Lyria. And (Captain)... I really don't know how to thank ya all.

Vyrn: We're happy if you're happy, Norcel! But you should save the tears for after your mom gets better!

Norcel: Yeah! But first I gotta write to her!

Agony of the Magic Tome: Scene 2

After dropping off the letter, (Captain) and company check in at an inn. While they sleep, a thief attempts to steal Norcel's magic book but gives up because it's too heavy. The crew chases after him as he tries to get away.

---

Norcel drops off the letter for his mother at the Knickknack Shack.

Since they don't have anything better to do, (Captain) and company agree to stay the night in town before leaving the island.

They rent a room at an inn and decide to have dinner in the dining hall downstairs.

Norcel: I'm still not used to eatin' other people's cooking like this. There weren't any places like this in my village.

Vyrn: Hm... Zinkenstill's rural as well, but was your village even smaller?

Norcel: Yeah. It snows all year and we don't really get no visitors.

Norcel: I bet it's nothing like that in big cities with their kings and princesses and all.

Lyria: I see. You must get pretty tired of dealing with all that snow. But does your magic book help at least?

Norcel: Yeah, this book is mighty useful. I'm grateful to my ancestors for bringin' it back.

Lyria: Hm? So there's a history behind it... That book must really be something special!

Norcel: Yeah. I'll always be thankful to my mum for givin' it to me.

Vyrn: A book that lets the reader cast magic just by reading it... That's quite a treasure you've got there.

Lyria: It really is. I wonder what sort of person wrote it.

???: ...

Norcel: Not really sure, but I get tired whenever I read it, and I get real dizzy if I use it too much.

Norcel: And it's a bit heavy too... Makes me trip a lot.

Vyrn: That definitely sounds like a problem!

(Captain) and company enjoy their dinner and then decide to rest in the room they rented. Later that night...

Norcel: Aaahhh! What do you think you're doin'!

???: Agh! This book's too damn heavy to carry!

Vyrn: What's going on? Are you all right, Norcel?

Norcel: Aiieee! A thief just tried to make off with my book!

Vyrn: Say what? Where'd he go?

Norcel: He went out the window right before I turned the lights on!

Vyrn: He won't get away with this! Let's go get him, (Captain)!

Agony of the Magic Tome: Scene 3

(Captain) and company capture the thief and hand him over to the guards. Norcel wonders whether his ancestors stole the book as well. In response, Lyria suggests that they look into the magical book's origin. Norcel agrees to her suggestion and makes it his new goal for his journey.

---

(Captain) and company capture the thief and hand him over to the guards.

Lyria: Hmm... I wonder why he went after your book. You can't tell it's magical just by looking at it.

Vyrn: He probably heard our conversation in the dining hall... We should have been more careful!

Norcel: ...

Lyria: Um... Are you okay, Norcel? You've been staring off into the distance... Did the thief scare you?

Norcel: A little bit, but I've actually been thinkin' about this book.

Norcel: My ancestors brought it back from... somewhere... But what if it was stolen?

Norcel: Just the thought makes me feel bad for its rightful owner.

Vyrn: But no one ever came to claim it, right? Don't you think that means it's okay?

Norcel: Maybe... But... if the real owner's somewhere out there...

Lyria: Umm... Then why don't we find out who wrote that book? Maybe the author gave it to your ancestor.

Lyria: We can look into it while we search for a doctor. How does that sound?

Norcel: ...!

Norcel: Sounds great! It sure beats sittin' here wonderin' about it.

Norcel: I can apologize to the author if it's stolen or say thanks if it's a gift!

Lyria: That settles it then!

With the prospects for his mother's cure looking brighter, Norcel finds a new goal for his journey.

And so the travels of the stalwart Harvin and his magical book continue ever onward.
