Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Vikala (Yintopia): Um, (Captain)... Today is an auspicious day, so... Uhhh... I... I'm sorry... I completely forgot what I was going to say... I'm... really grateful that you and Lyria recognized me back at the Rat Temple... No one ever had before... I wonder why that is... It's so weird... But because you did, I'm a part of the crew now... Thank you... for finding me... Ah, I forgot the most important part! Happy birthday, (Captain)!
2	✔	Vikala (Yangtopia): Your birthday parties are always such a grand affair. Can you give me a second though? I've got something I'd like to say... Vikala (Yintopia): U-um, so... Happy birthday, (Captain). I'm really g-glad I'm here for another year of celebrations. You know, I never thought I was cut out to be one of the Divine Generals... I felt more like a rat hanging on for dear life. B-but I think traveling with you has made me a little more confident. So thank you. I never would've grown without you. I figured it'd be better to tell you that as me—not as Vicky... Ehehe...
3	✔	Vikala (Yintopia): Oh, (Captain). I didn't know you were out here. Um, are you going back inside? It is your birthday party after all. Me? Yes, I'm heading over there too. S-so let's go back together... Oh, but before we do, c-can I talk to you about something? E-ever since I came aboard the Grandcypher, I got to celebrate your birthday every year. It feels like... Um, sort of like... how a family would celebrate together. I know firsthand that you can't really celebrate someone's birthday by yourself... Th-that's why it'd fill me with joy if I could continue to wish you a happy birthday. Um, I had to get that off my chest. Please have a happy, happy birthday, (Captain).
4	✔	Vikala (Yintopia): U-um, (Captain)! H-h... Happy birthday! H-here's your p-present! I also w-wanted to say... thanks for always looking out f-for a failure of a Divine General like me... I don't know wh-what I'd do without you... I know I need to try harder... Even though e-every time I do, I just make things worse... At the very least, I-I hope you can laugh a-at my mistakes and think I'm funny or something... Ah, s-sorry, that's hoping for too much, isn't it? I'll just stick t-to trying even harder from now on...
5	✔	Vikala (Yintopia): Um, (Captain)! H-happy birthday! I'm so happy for the opportunity to celebrate your birthday again... Your birthday... Everyone's birthday... Even my birthday... It's always a special occasion. I'm starting to get used to life on the ship, and I think it's changed a bit for the better... I-I just want to thank you for inviting me into your crew, (Captain)... I was thinking of things I could do for you to show my appreciation, and... And there's not much I can do, but if you have any favors you'd like to ask of me, just let me know... I-I'm here for you, (Captain)...

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain)! The party last night was a real blast! Man, hanging with a skyfaring crew is the best! Hm? What's up with that face? A-haaa... I know what you're after. A little New Year's present, am I right? How can I say no to those puppy-dog eyes? Here ya go! Your own rat-ear headband! Now you're a bona fide citizen of Utopia! What? You wanna see me without my rat ears? Wh-whaddya want something like that for? Nothing... nothing fun about that... Anyway... Uh... Let's make it a good year, (Captain)...
2	✔	Boo! Ahaha! Did I scare you? Sorry, sorry! I saw you heading out and couldn't resist. Happy New Year though! Looking forward to spending it with you! Huh? I seem like I'm in a good mood? Well, you're the first person I got to see this year! It's a sign that the next few months are going to be good ones! Where are you going, by the way? Early morning walk? Let me tag along! Haha! This month is already starting out strong.
3	✔	Yawn... Oh, (Captain)! G-good morning... Thanks for yesterday. The Eccentrical Parade was a s-success with your help... Are you ready to party? We're going to go all night long! But first, it's time to count down! Three, two, one... Happy New Year! Wahoo! It was so m-much fun... But we stayed up so late, I'm still super sleepy... I can't wait to spend... another year together... Zzz...
4	✔	Eep! (Captain)? H-happy New Year... I-I don't have my ears on yet... I'm still getting them ready. Huh? My resolution for the year? I guess... it'd be to scrape by without getting into trouble... Hey, (Captain)! Happy New Year! My New Year's resolution this time around is to make everyone in all the skies as happy as can be! Huh? What do you mean by "scrape by without getting into trouble"? Haha, I wonder who'd have such a depressing goal like that! Couldn't be me! It's a brand new year! You have to aim big and chase your dreams!
5	✔	Hey, (Captain)! Happy New Year! You're an early riser! That's a good thing! And I'm a super happy girl for being the first person you saw this year, (Captain)! So have you decided on a New Year's resolution yet? Hahah! Me? My resolution is to entertain everyone more than I did last year! I know I make the same resolution every year, but it's really, really important to me! But guess what? I also have a second resolution this year! It's to become better friends with you than ever before! Let's make this year count, (Captain)!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh, uh, hello there, (Captain)... It's, um... You know what day it is, right? So... I want you to... to... To wait here a sec! I'll be right back! Heya, thanks for waiting! Ready for your valentine? Then here ya go! Chocolaty goodness! You're always looking out for me, so I thought this'd be a good chance to give you a token of my appreciation! Oh, are you headed out somewhere? Look both ways before you cross the street, then! Later! (Hurgh... That was harder than I thought...)
2	✔	Okay... This year for sure... I'll give it to (Captain) as my true self! Good day, (Captain). I hope this Valentine's celebration finds you well. Accordingly, I brought you a gift... No, that's all wrong. There has to be a better, more Yangtopian way... Wahey! What's good, (Captain)? I've got V-day chocolates for you! Nuh-uh... Not happening. Sigh... (Captain)! How long have you been standing there? D-did you s-see... Ah... Um... V-Valentine's... Ch-choco... late... H-here! Take it! Since today's... V-Valen... You know... So... I made... A-anyway, see you!
3	✔	U-um, this is for you! I hope you d-don't mind! T-today's the, um... Valentine's-iest day of the year so I wanted to get you something! ... (What am I saying...) It's not a-anything super special, so, um... I'm not trying to fish for a White Day gift... and I'm definitely not trying to get any favors from you... Promise, I've got no ulterior motives... Pinky swear! I-it's perfectly safe... A-anyway, I better get going!
4	✔	(Oh, (Captain)'s alone on the deck... Talk about timing...) (B-but I'm not ready yet... and I don't think I'll ever be... so I just have to get it over with.) (Just need to act natural... and normal... That's not so hard, right?) (N-no turning back!) U-um, (Captain)... This is f-for you! It's chocolate! Since, you know, it's Valentine's Day today... And it's um... well... I don't mean anything by it, but... I also don't not mean anything by it? J-just take it! Anyway, see you l-later! Pant... That was totally normal... right?
5	✔	Um, (Captain)? Th-this is for you! It's Valentine's chocolate... This is my way of saying thank you for all you do... I'm definitely not doing this out of obligation... Ah, wait, no! That doesn't mean I have feelings for... Ahem! I-I'm just saying that there's no need to read too deeply into this... It doesn't necessarily mean our relationship has evolved or anything like that... The important thing is... I worked hard to make these, and I hope you like them! Ahaha... There, I said it...

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	All right! Let's knock this mission outta the park! No matter what happens, (Captain), you can count on me! Hm? What's this package? A return gift for Valentine's Day? Is today... Wh-White Day? Th-thank you! I didn't... I had no idea... you'd get me a gift in return... Yeah, um! That was quite a surprise! Anyway, I guess I'll take this off your hands! Thanks! Haha! White Day isn't half bad!
2	✔	A g-gift for me? I can't believe you got me something so nice... Th-thank you! Before I joined your crew, I never celebrated Valentine's Day or White Day. I always thought it was something only true Yangtopians could enjoy... B-but now I know that was totally wrong! It's an amazing experience for anyone and everyone! Thanks to you, I know how awesome it is to give and be given to! Ehehe... Seriously, I'm glad I got to meet you...
3	✔	...! H-hey... You're giving me a g-gift in return for Valentine's? Oh gosh... Thank you... (Captain)! Appreciate the White Day present! Haha, I figured I should give you a proper show of gratitude! Want to eat this together? We can go outside and sit on the deck! I'll even feed you, and you can feed me back!
4	✔	Haha, yes! I got a present from (Captain)! This is a return gift for Valentine's Day, right? Thanks, (Captain)! Just as the captain is about to leave as well, Vikala reappears. U-um, s-sorry to bother you, but I opened the present... A-are you sure you should give something so nice to someone like me? Y-you got it especially for me? I'm sorry to make you go through the trouble... You say you want to thank me, b-but I should be the one thanking you for all you do. Really, I'm super thankful for your help, and your support, and everything...
5	✔	Ooh! A White Day gift? Hahah! Thanks, (Captain)! I gave you something for Valentine's, and now I get something back for White Day... This give-and-take relationship is a lot of fun! It makes me one happy rat! As long as you're cool with it, (Captain), I hope we can continue to trade gifts for a long time to come! Huh? You want to know exactly how long that'd be? Hahah! What a silly question! How about "forever"? After all, ending the tradition would just be sad! No reason to cut a happy thing short!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Of course, I'm familiar with Halloween... Kids get candy, and Yangtopians everywhere party it up... Ah... I bet you're thinking I've never properly enjoyed Halloween, aren't you, (Captain)? Don't underestimate me... I haven't been a complete stick in the mud... After all, I always have my handmade rat-ears on... They count as a costume... right? So I could party it up... if I felt like it... (So there!)
2	✔	Trick or treat! Better feed me or I'll eat you right up! Haha! Did I scare you? Are you heading into town? Mind if I join you then? Thanks! I plan on spreading the good word of Utopia and showing everyone a fun time! (All right... I invited myself along pretty smoothly, right?) Let's go! Come on, come on! We're wasting time!
3	✔	Bwaagaah! Hahaha! Did I make you jump, (Captain)? That's Halloween for you! Just a small, harmless prank, wouldn't you agree? Feel free to turn the tables on me today, (Captain)! Having fun is the name of the game! Now let's go paint the town red! There's a bunch of candy with our names on them! Vikala enthusiastically pulls the captain by the hand, which suddenly sends her tumbling forward. Aaaah! N-noooo! Y-your hand! It... It... Huh? It's a fake? G-geez! Wh-who wouldn't be shocked by that? I wasn't ready for you to get me back so quickly... Well, that was a pretty good prank... So good in fact that maybe you can lay off for the rest of the day?
4	✔	Woo! Wahoo! Haha, there are costumes and candies everywhere! Halloween's just the best! Huh? I acted the exact opposite earlier? Am I going out for Halloween? N-no, I think I'll stay on the ship... Oh... You want me to come with you? If you're sure... Did that happen? I already forgot! It's my policy to never reflect on the past! Besides, it'd be a waste to stay cooped up for a celebration like this! Come on, (Captain)! Wahoo!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	It really is bustling today, isn't it, (Captain)? This is my first time spending a holiday with friends, so I'm really looking forward to our party! Hm? How did I celebrate before? Hm... I think I just spent the night making the rat-ear headbands we sell at Utopia. I do those all by hand. But while I was quietly working in my room, I'd listen to all the music and happy voices outside... And I'd imagine how much fun they were having... And get jealous of all the merrymakers... Whoa... Flashback city. Anyway, who cares what I was thinking about back then? It's in the past! Let's get our shopping done and hurry back to the ship! Yep, that's what we should be doing, so chop-chop!
2	✔	It's almost that time of year again... A special holy night for Yangtopia. The feast is ready for the party... Cake and presents too. Just have to make sure I keep the good spirits up when it starts. I've been looking forward to spending a fun time with (Captain). Better get moving... Ta-da! Happy holidays! Come on, (Captain)! Hope you're ready to join me in Holytopia! Tonight's party is going to blow you away!
3	✔	Happy holidays! Welcome to the holy night special Eccentrical Parade! Featuring the Grandcypher as today's stage! Not my typical spot, but we'll definitely make it work! Let's get this show on the road! Or... something like that. Wh-what do you think? Can I use the deck for a parade? Ah... S-sorry, I don't mean to pressure you into it! Just forget I said anything... Huh? You're fine with it? Th-thank you so much... You're too kind, (Captain). U-um... I'll do my best not to disappoint! But maybe keep your expectations low...
4	✔	(Someone please end meeee!) (It's not like I planned to head home together with only (Captain) after the Eccentrical Parade finished...) (Now we're surrounded by c-couples... I wonder if other people think we're a c-couple too?) (I didn't ask for a holy night present like this...) (Wait... I haven't said anything this whole time we've been walking... The captain must be super bored by now...) (I have to strike up a conversation, but... what do I even say?) (Probably something festive? But it's not like I know what people usually do for the holidays... I can barely handle a normal conversation besides...) H-huh? You want to take the long way home? I-I don't mind, but... You wanna see the town? O-oh! Yeah, that's a good idea since everything's all decorated... (I'm happy to spend more time with (Captain), but... I still haven't figured out what to talk about! What do I doooo?)

Spooky Night

(Captain) and the crew have been invited to celebrate Halloween in a certain town. Terrified of the crowds, Vikala opts to stay behind instead. After Dormouse pushes Vikala to go out, she finds herself alone, jostled back and forth in the crowds. She winds up joining a group of children who want to play a prank on the Grandcypher.

---

A large town is decked with festivities, celebrating this year's Halloween.

The streets are bustling with people, all with smiles on their faces...

All except one person.

Vikala: Rrg... Wh-why did it turn out like this... I should've stayed on the ship...

Lyria: Vikala, are you sure you want to stay on the ship? Don't you want to see what this year's Halloween is like?

Vikala: Um, I... I've got things to do, like clothes to mend... and laundry... and cleaning...

Vyrn: You're just makin' stuff up 'cause you don't wanna go out, right?

Vikala: N-not at all! I'd n-n-never do something like that!

Vikala: I r-really am busy! My clothes are so dirty they're starting to smell... a lot!

Lyria: Really? We'll help you then!

Vikala: Oh, no, I'm all right! I need to be by myself and focus on washing the clothes... otherwise the stains won't come off!

In the spur of the moment, Vikala had sent off the crew and decided to stay on the ship by herself.

Dormouse: You should've just gone with them.

Vikala: N-no way... It's dangerous out there. People get rowdy... and noisy... Halloween? More like Hallowahey...

Vikala: If I tried going out like a normal person, I'd probably puke or pass out, and that'd be even more trouble for the others...

Dormouse: But there's nothing for you to do on the ship. The town will be much more fun—you can even hear it from here.

As evening begins to settle, sounds of festivities can be heard a distance away from where the ship is docked at the port.

Vikala: Oh...

Vikala finds her heart wavering when she hears the voices and music coming from town.

Dormouse: If you're that curious, you should go and take a look by yourself.

Vikala: Whaaa... I-if I do that, I'm going to puke for sure...

Dormouse: Then just puke or whatever you have to do! Who cares?

Vikala: It'll be a disaster... And what if I can't find the others?

Dormouse: It's a celebration, so I'm sure you can find other people to talk to.

Vikala: Th-that's way too high-level for me! No way I can do that...

Dormouse: If you don't know what to say, just smile! You'll be friends in no time.

Dormouse: Come on! Off you go!

With Dormouse's encouragement, Vikala reluctantly steps off the ship to venture into the lively streets of town.

Vikala: (The sound of festivals is a cruel trap...)

Vikala: (It piques your curiosity so you join in... and then you just end up feeling lonely and blue. It's not that fun after all...)

Vikala: (I should just go back...)

Vikala: H-huh?

Vikala is about to head back when she realizes she had been so distracted by the amount of people, she has no idea which direction she had come from.

Vikala: (What sh-should I do... I don't know which way the port is!)

Jostled right and left, Vikala turns pale, unable to see any of her surroundings beyond the throng.

Vikala: (D-does this mean I have to... actually ask someone where the port is? As in... just some random person walking by? I can't, I can't, I can't!)

Vikala: (But if I don't, I won't be able to get back! They're people I don't know though... Is this... going to be the end of my life?)

Vikala: (No... I'll... I'll ask someone! It's embarrassing, but only for a moment. Not asking will be a lifetime of embarrassment as a Divine General!)

Passerby: ...

Vikala: Um, e-excuse me! D-do you think... you could...

Passerby: ...

Vikala: N-never mind... Sorry I got in the way...

Another Passerby: ...

Vikala: E-excuse me! Um, I... I want to get to the port...

Another Passerby: ...

Vikala: Th-the... port... Um...

Vikala's inherent lack of presence is apparent when nobody turns to even look at her. People continue to pass her by without sparing a second glance.

Vikala: (It's n-no use... I'm practically invisible when there're this many people...)

Vikala: Hngh... There's so much going on, I think I'm going to puke. Rrg... Bleh...

That's when she hears something.

Mysterious Voice: Hey, over here!

Vikala: Huh?

Mysterious Voice: Over here! In the bushes! Come over here.

Vikala suddenly hears a voice coming from the thicket on the side of the road. When she goes to take a peek, she discovers a small, hidden space inside the bushes.

Vikala: Oh, it looks like a small... park, or a rest area.

Curious Girl: Hi!

Vikala: Wah!

Friendly Boy: You didn't like how many people there were out there, right?

Attentive Boy: It's safe here, so take your time.

Vikala: Th-thank you...

Loud Hallowaheyer: Wahey! Havin' a good Halloween?

Vikala: Eek!

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Did you just go "eek"! That's so funny! What're you so scared for?

Vikala: Oh no... The H-Hallowaheyers are here...

Curious Girl: I saw you try to talk to a bunch of people just now, but nobody noticed you, right?

Friendly Boy: You gotta talk in a louder voice!

Vikala: R-right.. I-I know... This happens a lot to me...

Curious Girl: You mean not getting noticed happens a lot? That's weird.

Attentive Boy: We saw you in trouble, so we decided to call out to you. Are you a tourist here? How come you're by yourself?

Vikala: Um, I'm... Well...

The gears in Vikala's head turn at full speed...

Vikala: I'm f-from the next town over... I had some, um, errands to run here...

And she spills a lie.

The children had seen her by herself, and thought her a strange tourist who had no one else with her and no idea what to do on Halloween.

That hurt the smallest shred of pride Vikala had left in her, prompting her to insist that she was not a tourist at all.

Vikala: I mean, it's just Halloween. What's the big deal?

That's how she had wanted to present herself when she thought up the lie.

And depending on how the others respond...

Vikala: Hallo-ween? Ah, is that what this is called? It's my first time seeing a festival of this sort.

That's how she had been planning to show that she wasn't just a lonely girl without a single friend on Halloween night.

Friendly Boy: Oh, so you're from the next town. They're celebrating Halloween there too, right? It's not like you have to come all the way here for it.

Vikala: (Oh... The next town has it too...)

Vikala: O-ohh... Come to think of it, it's Halloween. Is that why it was so crowded back home?

Vikala: Well... That's got nothing to do with me. I've got... errands to run and all. I'm supposed to do these things alone anyway...

Children: (She looks so lonely... Poor her.)

Curious Girl: How come you were trying to talk to the people on the street? If you're just from the next town over, you should pretty much know the way, right?

Vikala: (Oh no... I should have just told the truth and asked them for the way back to the port... I'm so stupid.)

Vikala: Well, um... I talked to them because... I... um... I...

Vikala: (Ahhh! I can't think of any excuses! I can't say that I was asking for directions now...)

Vikala: S-sorry... I... can't tell you.

Curious Girl: Wh-what?

Friendly Boy: Something's not right about this! I mean, it's a festival! You should be having fun!

Vikala: Oh, but Halloween didn't used to be something this rowdy, you know.

Vikala: Originally, it was an occasion to celebrate the changing of seasons—more like a harvest festival. Nothing to do with costumes or anything of the sort.

Vikala: That's wh-why I don't really care to celebrate anymore... or rather, I don't think I like how this whole festival is nowadays.

Children: (She doesn't know how to have fun... Poor her.)

Vikala's pretense is seen through by the children all too soon.

Curious Girl: So your name's Vikala?

Curious Girl: Hey, everyone! How about we let Vikala join us as our friend?

Friendly Boy: Sure.

Attentive Boy: These two are part of our group too.

Loud Hallowaheyer: Whoooo!

Vikala: U-um... Friends?

Curious Girl: Yeah. We don't need treats, you see—so we're gonna go and play pranks somewhere.

Friendly Boy: Yup, we're choosing tricks! What would we do with so much candy anyway? No thanks.

Attentive Boy: Playing pranks is way more fun.

Vikala: O-oh, I see...
So... what kind of pranks do you play?

Curious Girl: We target a house somewhere, and smear soap all over their windows or wrap a rope around them!

Friendly Boy: I kinda wanna try putting glue on their windows and doors... and maybe doodle on the walls too!

Attentive Boy: Hmm... I'd like to try filling their garden with frogs. Oh, or what if we ripped off all the leaves from their trees? That'd be funny!

Vikala: (Th-this isn't good...)

Dumbfounded, Vikala timidly looks over at the older pair who are with the children.

Vikala: Um... Are you sure this is okay?

Noisy Hallowaheyer: What do you mean? What's not okay?

Curious Girl: These two said it sounded fun! That's why we let them be our friends!

Loud Hallowaheyer: Yeah! I mean, what's Halloween without a bit of fun, right? Besides, they're kids! I don't see the big deal.

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Sounds like it could be interesting!
Look at us watching over these kids... We're like, being so adult!

Vikala: (Yeah, but the bad kind of adult...)

Friendly Boy: You'll be our underling, Vikala! Got it?

Vikala: Oh, okay...

Vikala: (Wait, no! Wh-what should I do? They shouldn't be playing pranks like this...)

Vikala: (But the children are so into this, and those adults don't seem to care. Who's going to stop them?)

Vikala: (H-huh? Does this mean... I have to be the one to say no?)

Curious Girl: Which house should we target?

Friendly Boy: Let's go for a really rich place!

Vikala: (I-if I just f-f-follow along, I won't be able to face (Captain) ever again!)

Vikala: I th-th-think you should stop... It'd be really bad if you got found out. I mean, you're definitely going to get found out!

Attentive Boy: So? Who cares? It's Halloween.

Loud Hallowaheyer: Yeah! It's Halloween!

Vikala: T-Think... Think...

Vikala: Think about the people who don't celebrate Halloween!

Curious Girl: ...!

Vikala: Pleeease...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: What the... What's with the blubbering? Come on, it's nothing to cry about!

Vikala: Th-there are people... wh-who don't think... Halloween is f-fun... Sniff...

Vikala: Y-you should... sniff... be nice to... th-those people...

Curious Girl: ...

Vikala: I-I'm not saying... I'm one of those people, of course...

Children: (She's definitely not having fun...)

Friendly Boy: So... what do we do?

Attentive Boy: Is what we're doing really that bad?

Curious Girl: How about we switch targets?

Friendly Boy: What do you mean?

Curious Girl: If we can't play pranks on people's houses, then we can do it on something else!

Vikala: Wh-what?

Curious Girl: Follow me, everyone!

With the little girl in the lead, the rest follow along as they traverse across the town while avoiding the crowd.

Curious Girl: We're here!

Vikala: The port...

Vikala: (Whew... I'm glad I was able to get back to the ship before the end of my life...)

The girl grins at the others and raises her hand to point at something.

Curious Girl: Let's play a prank on this thing!

Vikala: Huh?

Everyone's gaze falls on the Grandcypher that's quietly docked at the port.

Spooky Vicky

While the children excitedly board the unmanned Grandcypher, Vikala racks her brains to figure out a way to get them to leave. After Vikala lies about the ship being haunted, Dormouse's entrance convinces the children that Vikala is a ghost herself. Rather than being scared, however, the children view her as a friend, leaving her stunned.

---

The little girl points straight at the Grandcypher as their next target.

Vikala: (Whaaa!)

Loud Hallowaheyer: Play pranks on a ship? You sure think of some interesting things!

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Kids have the best ideas sometimes. This is gonna be hilarious!

Vikala: (It's not hilarious at all!)

Friendly Boy: None of the lights are on. That probably means no one's home.

Attentive Boy: I call first dibs!

Friendly Boy: Heeey! No fair!

Vikala: W-wait... Y-you can't just hop on... someone's ship without permission...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Come on, what's the big problem? We'll be in and out before they notice.

Curious Girl: This is some skyfaring crew's ship, right? It's my first time on one!

Attentive Boy: Think they keep weapons somewhere on board? They've got to if they're skyfarers... I wanna see some cool weapons!

Vikala: A-ah... Ahh...

Curious Girl: What's the matter, Vikala?

Because she had lied about being from the next town over, Vikala finds herself unable to admit that this ship is, in fact, her crew's.

The children would not be likely to care, even if she did have the courage to tell them this was her crew's ship.

As she's thinking about all of this, the words spill out from her.

Vikala: Th-this... this must be a ghost ship!

Children: A ghost ship?

Vikala: It's a sh-ship where ghosts live, so if you play pranks on it... you're going to get c-cursed...

Loud Hallowaheyer: Bwahaha! Oh come on, are you kidding me? Ghosts?

Attentive Boy: Why do you think this is a ghost ship?

Vikala: Well, um... That's because...

Curious Girl: ...

Vikala: Hngh...

Curious Girl: Wait... Hold on a second, everyone.

Loud Hallowaheyer: Hm? What's wrong?

Curious Girl: Now that I think about it, nobody noticed Vikala earlier... right?

Vikala: ...

Curious Girl: I thought it was weird. I mean, normally you'd hear someone calling out to you, right?

Attentive Boy: No way... You mean... no one actually saw Vikala?

Curious Girl: And we're the only ones... who were able to see her.

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Hooold it. You're pulling my leg, right? No way this is a real ghost story.

Friendly Boy: But if we think back...

Curious Girl: How come you were trying to talk to the people on the street? If you're from the town over, you should know the way, right?

Vikala: I... can't tell you.

Loud Hallowaheyer: Yeah, but... so what?

Attentive Boy: In other words... she wasn't just trying to talk to people.

Curious Girl: She was looking for someone who could see her this whole time...

Curious Girl: I've heard that ghosts that linger have something they want to tell the people who are still alive.

Curious Girl: Maybe that's why Vikala was calling out to whoever she could on the street...

Friendly Boy: Something she wants to tell? Like what?

Curious Girl: Like a grudge from when she was alive... or regret. Or maybe she could be...

Attentive Boy: Looking for a companion to journey with.

Friendly Boy: No way... She wants to put a curse on us?

Attentive Boy: Her dark expression and dead eyes... Her frail frame... These aren't things a normal person who's alive would have.

Curious Girl: And we just waved her over without a second thought...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Hey, is it just me or... did it get chilly all of a sudden?

A breeze is brought in with the changing of seasons, sweeping across the deck of the ship. The trespassers shiver.

Vikala: U-um, is everyone all right?

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Eek!

Vikala: Huh?

Vikala: (Did she just look at me and go "eek"? Did I do something to offend them?)

Vikala: (Suddenly it feels like they're putting a lot of distance between themselves and me...)

Vikala: Um... why don't all of you come over here to where I am?

Curious Girl: ...!
No! Don't listen to her! She's... calling us over.

Loud Hallowaheyer: Calling us over? To... where?

Curious Girl: To her world, of course!

Friendly Boy: Hey... Vikala's the one who told us this was a ghost ship, right?

Attentive Boy: I was wondering about that too. She was probably... referring to herself.

Curious Girl: She must be haunting this ship...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Oh my gosh...

Vikala: (Why're they backing away from me? Oh, come to think of it... Dormouse told me something before I went out.)

Dormouse: If you don't know what to say, just smile! You'll be friends in no time.

Vikala: Heh, heh heh... Hehehe...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: She's... smiling... She's looking straight at me and smiling!

Loud Hallowaheyer: C-calm down!

Just as the man tries to calm his friend, they hear the clanking of chains slowly getting louder as something approaches.

Loud Hallowaheyer: What's that s-sound?

Curious Girl: It sounds like some sort of... spirit rapping...

Dormouse: Huh? You're back already?

Vikala: Oh... Dorrie!

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Eek! Wh-what is that thing?

Dormouse: Oh, and who might that be?

Dormouse: Vikala... Could it be that you made some friends?

Vikala: Not now, Dorrie... Go over there!

Dormouse: All right, all right. You take your time then.

Although Dormouse had made it so that only Vikala could hear its voice, the others couldn't help but catch sight of it.

Loud Hallowaheyer: Isn't that.. a steel trap for monsters?

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Are those things supposed to move?

Loud Hallowaheyer: I've never heard of a trap that moves...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: H-hey! That metal trap just now... Were you talking to it?

Vikala: (Ohhh dear... They're going to think I'm some weirdo who talks to a metal trap...)

Vikala: H-huh? Of c-course not... I have n-no idea what you're t-t-talking about!

Children: (She's obviously lying...)

Loud Hallowaheyer: Yo, this is bad... Like real bad... We're in some deep trouble...

Attentive Boy: Did we just witness... a psychic phenomenon?

Curious Girl: It must've been the work of a poltergeist!

Noisy Hallowaheyer: No more of this, pleeease...

Vikala: (Oh no, is she o-okay? Maybe she's not feeling well...)

Loud Hallowaheyer: Um, I think we... have something we forgot to do... We should get going.

The Hallowaheyers make to get off the deck of the ship. Worried for the two, Vikala calls out to them.

Vikala: U-um...

Noisy Hallowaheyer: Eeeek! She's f-following us!

Loud Hallowaheyer: Y-you've gotta be kidding me! I'm outta here!

Vikala: Oh... They're gone.

Friendly Boy: Hey... What should we do?

Attentive Boy: If we don't get away now, we're gonna be in trouble too.

Curious Girl: No can do. Vikala's our friend now, remember?

Curious Girl: If we leave her now, she's going to keep wandering around forever.

Friendly Boy: Oh... Yeah, you're right. Vikala's our friend!

Attentive Boy: We can't just leave a lonely ghost by herself on Halloween!

Vikala: (I'm glad the other two are gone, but... the children are still here. I sure hope they're not planning any pranks...)

Vikala: U-um, maybe all of you should go back too...

Curious Girl: Don't worry! We won't leave you all alone, Vikala!

Vikala: Huh? But I'm perfectly fine by myself...

Friendly Boy: Is that what you've been telling yourself this whole time? Well, you have us now!

Attentive Boy: We'll be together forever.

Vikala: (Together forever? But I can't leave the ship to stay with them...)

Vikala: I-I'm afraid that's not possible... We can't be together forever...

Curious Girl: You've still got something left to do (in this life), huh?

Vikala: Erm, I guess you could say that... I just can't leave (this crew)...

Vikala stands on the deck of the ship, unsure of what to do now that the children are refusing to leave.

Spooky Vicky: Scene 2

The misunderstandings deepen as Vikala continues to push the children to leave. Vikala attempts to spook the children into going home, except they turn out to be real ghosts. The children are convinced that Vikala is a fellow ghost, even though she repeatedly denies it. Dormouse comes up with an idea to turn the situation around.

---

Vikala: U-um, why don't we go back? It's getting late...

Friendly Boy: Did you say... "we"? Does that mean...

Attentive Boy: I get it now... She must mean "take me home with you."

Curious Girl: So she wants us to invite her over... She wants to make us her next target.

Friendly Boy: Do you think Vikala wants to put a curse on us?

Attentive Boy: Maybe we can make it clear that we're her friends.

Curious Girl: Yeah, let's make sure she gets it!

The little girl steps forward and turns to Vikala.

Curious Girl: V-Vikala! You're... a ghost, aren't you?

Vikala: Wha?

Vikala: A gh-ghost? But I'm not a ghost...

Attentive Boy: Oh no, this is gonna be a hassle... She's the type of ghost that doesn't even know she's dead.

Curious Girl: What should we do... If we don't help her, she might turn into an evil spirit...

Friendly Boy: An evil spirit?

Curious Girl: When ghosts doesn't realize they're dead and nobody talks to them for a long time... they become evil spirits.

Attentive Boy: She might go crazy... and end up putting a deadly curse on someone alive.

Friendly Boy: No way... And there's nothing we can do about it?

Vikala: (Huh? They all think I'm a ghost?)

Vikala: (Heh... Hehe. I guess I don't blame them... I have such a lack of presence, I'm basically a ghost...)

Dormouse: Vikala!

Vikala: Oh... D-Dorrie?

The Divine General turns around and sees Dormouse watching her from the shadows on the deck.

Dormouse: I'm not sure what's going on, but if you want to make the children leave, how about you follow along and pretend to be a ghost?

Vikala: A-ah, I see... But I don't know how to be a ghost...

Curious Girl: Vikala must be a sad ghost who came back all by herself on Halloween.

Friendly Boy: I wonder what we can do for her...

Attentive Boy: Yeah. I wanna help her somehow too.

Vikala: Boo... I'm a ghooost...

Curious Girl: ...

Vikala: Boo... I'm gonna e-eat yooou...

The Boys: ...

Curious Girl: Everyone, act surprised. If we help her have a good Halloween, maybe she can finally move on after this.

Vikala: (Th-they don't seem scared at all... Ooh, this is bluing me out...)

Curious Girl: Don't be so sad, Vikala.

Vikala: Eh?

Friendly Boy: Being a ghost isn't so bad, you know.

Vikala: Wha?

Attentive Boy: If there's something you don't know, just ask us, okay?

Vikala: Huh?

Curious Girl: From now on, we'll be together forever. We're your friends.

As they utter these words, the children's bodies begin to fade until they're translucent, as if they were an illusion.

Vikala: Wha... Wh-wh-wha?

Friendly Boy: From today onward, we'll be ghost friends!

Vikala: Whaaa!

Dormouse: Would you look at that... Who would've thought that the children were actually ghosts themselves?

Attentive Boy: When we saw how you were scared of ghosts despite being a ghost yourself, we figured that you thought you were still alive.

Curious Girl: Let's start by accepting it, Vikala. Come with us.

Vikala: B-but I... I-I... I'm a-alive...

Curious Girl: If you were alive, you should be a lot more lively than this. People who are alive are positive and focus on what's in front.

Vikala: Rrg... I'm sorry I'm so negative...

Friendly Boy: You're a stubborn one!

Attentive Boy: She must've died without completely understanding how she died.

Vikala: Um, I'm... really not dead...

Vikala: I-I'm sorry! I lied to everyone earlier... I actually belong here, on this ship...

Friendly Boy: Yeah, we know. You're haunting this ship, right?

Vikala: No, I mean... I'm not haunting it. I'm actually living here...

Curious Girl: Ohh, I see now... You were on this ship when you were still alive.

Curious Girl: Then you came to this town and died. I guess it hasn't been that long since that happened.

Friendly Boy: So she's freshly dead?

Attentive Boy: Then we should take this chance to get her to understand that she's dead now...

Curious Girl: True. If it takes too long for the dead to realize they're dead, it becomes too much of a shock when they finally find out. That's how evil spirits are born.

Curious Girl: Um, Vikala... Calm down and listen to me. This might come as a surprise but... you died.

Vikala: I haven't died yet...

Friendly Boy: We're just going in circles...

Attentive Boy: It's not that bad being a ghost! We can still have fun, so let's give it a try!

Curious Girl: You're dead, Vikala! Your dark expression is proof of that! People who are alive look a lot happier!

Vikala: I'm sowwy I'm awiiive...

Friendly Boy: If you were really still alive, Vikala, people would notice you on the street!

Vikala: Huh? D-does that mean... I really am dead?

Dormouse: Don't be silly!

Vikala: Oh, Dorrie... Perfect timing. Tell me... am I still alive?

Dormouse: Of course you're alive! And don't let go of that shred of confidence you have left as someone alive!

Dormouse: Listen up! Don't let ghosts you don't even know stay too long on this ship, you got it? It can't be good!

Vikala: R-really? But they don't seem to want to leave...

Vikala: And they want to play pranks on the Grandcypher...

Dormouse: Troublesome little ghosts, huh?

Dormouse: But maybe if you show them how lively you can be, that'll get them to understand that you're not dead.

Vikala: L-lively? I don't have that kind of energy...

Dormouse: That's true. At this point, those kids are looking a lot more lively than you...

Spooky Vicky: Scene 3

Dormouse draws the children's attention away from Vikala as she prepares to become Spooky Vicky. (Captain) and the crew return just in time to see Vikala perform. After a satisfying show, the children finally disappear. The crew invite Vikala once again to join them on a night out in town celebrating Halloween.

---

Dormouse: Hey, kids!

Friendly Boy: Oh, that thing's here again!

Curious Girl: Vikala's poltergeist!

Dormouse: I'm no poltergeist!

Attentive Boy: Did it just talk...

Dormouse: What do you want with Vikala anyway? I'd like you to stop following her around, thank you very much!

Curious Girl: We're not following her! We're trying to stop her from becoming an evil spirit!

Friendly Boy: Huh? Wait, where'd Vikala go?

Dormouse: You don't have to worry about Vikala. She won't become an evil spirit.

Attentive Boy: Really?

Dormouse: Really. Besides, she's not the type to become evil and haunt something.

Dormouse: In fact, she's getting ready to show you just how lively she can be!

Mysterious Voice: Ahahaha!

Friendly Boy: Hey, there's someone over there!

Curious Girl: Whoa! Is that... Vikala?

When a sudden sound breaks the silence, the children look up to see a figure in a cloak.

Vikala: We meet again! Say hello to none other than the ruler of Halloween night, Spooky Vicky!

Curious Girl: ...!

Vikala: Halloween's a quirky occasion on its own, but what do you say we can make tonight full of madness and excitement?

Curious Girl: ...

Children: (She's become an evil spirit...)

To the children, Vikala's sudden change of character appears as her transformation into an evil spirit.

Curious Girl: P-please, Vikala! Go back to your original self! You shouldn't be evil!

Dormouse: She's not an evil spirit!

Vikala: An evil spirit? Me?

Vikala: Haha! That's a funny one! In that case, I'll show you a little something!

Vikala: Go! My loyal lackeys!

Loyal Lackeys: ...!

When Vikala gives her staff a swing, three rat spirits in costumes jump toward the children.

Friendly Boy: Eeek!

The children are now surrounded by the rat spirits, with no way out.

Curious Girl: S-stop!

Friendly Boy: Gyaaah!

Friendly Boy: Ah?

Loyal Lackeys: ...!

The children brace themselves for an attack from the evil spirit of Vikala. Instead, they find the rats dancing merrily around them, and the three break out into laughter.

Attentive Boy: Heh heh!

Curious Girl: Hehe...

Friendly Boy: Heh... Ahaha!

Dormouse: Here I was thinking you were going to chase these kids away... What a show!

Vikala: If I did that, it wouldn't be fun, would it? It's so much better to do things that're even more fun than playing pranks!

Vikala: My Halloween show is a special one that's bound to captivate anyone!

Vyrn: Wouldja look at that! Havin' fun without us?

Lyria: That's amazing, Vikala! This is almost like the festival in town!

Vikala: Ah, welcome back, all of you!

Vikala: That's early of you. The Halloween night's just beginning.

Vyrn: You know it's our second time coming back to the ship, right?

Vyrn: (Captain) kept wanting you to come with us, so we've been looking all over for you.

Vikala: Really? I was out in the town just now, so we might've missed each other.

Lyria: I'm glad we finally found each other. And you put on this wonderful show for us to see too!

Vyrn: So where're these kids from anyway?

Vikala: Hm, they might not be from anywhere. They're ghosts, after all.

Lyria: Whaaa!

Vikala: There's nothing to be scared of, Lyria! In my show, everyone is my friend and an equal!

Vikala: Now, if I may have your attention! The Halloween show is about to start!

Vikala swings her staff again, and the rats put on an even more spectacular show for their audience on deck.

Curious Girl: Wow, that was so fun! Your shows are amazing, Vikala!

Curious Girl: I wish you'd told us earlier that you were actually alive though.

Friendly Boy: You can say that again!

Vikala: Oh, sorry...

Vikala: (Pretty sure I said it a few times...)

Lyria: Um, d-do all of you always... wander around this town?

Attentive Boy: Hmm... We're usually sleeping, and then we wake up for Halloween.

Curious Girl: It's been going on for about two hundred years.

Vyrn: That's a long time...

1. Do you want to come with us?
2. Are you Vikala's fans now?

Choose: Do you want to come with us?

Curious Girl: Oooh, you're inviting us to join you? Yay!

Curious Girl: But we like being in this town for Halloween, so we'll probably stay here. I do love Vikala a lot though!

Vikala: Huh? Oh, th-thank you...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Are you Vikala's fans now?

Curious Girl: Yep! We've all grown to love Vikala so so much!

Vikala: Th-thank you...

Lyria: That's right! Would all of you like this join us on this ship?

Curious Girl: You're inviting us to join you? Yay!

Curious Girl: But we like being in this town for Halloween, so we'll probably stay here. We love this town just as much as we love Vikala.

Continue 1

Friendly Boy: I wanna see that show again someday!

Attentive Boy: Yeah, it was so fun.

Curious Girl: See you next time!

Without notice, the children wave goodbye and vanish with smiles on their faces.

Lyria: Oh... They disappeared!

Vyrn: The kids were all smilin', so they must've had a lotta fun!

Lyria: Hehe, you're right. I hope we can see them again!

Vikala: (Th-that was tiring... I'm exhausted. I think I'll go back to my room and call it a night...)

1. Thanks for that.
2. Well done.

Choose: Thanks for that.

Vikala: Huh? Y-you're thanking me? For what?

Vyrn: You kept the ship safe from pranks, right? Imagine if we found graffiti on the sides...

Lyria: That was a wonderful idea, to solve the situation by putting on a show! Thank you so much, Vikala!

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: Well done.

Vikala: Huh? Wh-what did I do?

Vyrn: You did a great job protectin' the Grandcypher from the kids' pranks.

Lyria: And I'm glad the children were happy even though they didn't get to play any tricks! You're incredible, Vikala!

Continue 2

Vikala: Erm, well... I d-didn't do much at all...

Vyrn: No need to be so humble! Take some credit for yourself!

Dormouse: Vyrn's absolutely right.

Lyria: Oh, Dormouse!

Dormouse: Before, you would have gone to find someone for help instead of trying to protect the ship yourself.

Dormouse: Doing something about it yourself this time shows just how much you've grown, Vikala!

Dormouse: Or maybe... you tried harder because this was (Captain)'s ship.

Vikala: D-D-Dorrie! What're y-you saying? That's n-not it at all!

The captain extends a hand toward Vikala.

Vikala: Huh? (Captain)?

Vyrn: Heheh! The Halloween night's still young, right?

Lyria: Now that we're finally together, let's go out to the town one more time!

(Captain) smiles at Vikala, encouraging her to come enjoy Halloween with them.

Vikala: Oh... Um, well...

Vikala: Hahaha! Okay, then allow Spooky Vicky to accompany you for the festivities tonight!

Vikala: Off I go, Dormouse!

Dormouse: See you! Have a good time out there this time!

Vikala: Haha! Let's be off then! I'll show everyone here that there's much more to celebrate on Halloween!

Vikala's footsteps are light as she takes (Captain)'s hand and hops off the ship.

Having gained a little more confidence, the Divine General gladly joins her friends for a festive Halloween night.
