Adventurer Story Episodes

Episode 1

Love for Luccy

Hiiii, Luccy! Let's snuggle! Hee. Hee hee. Tee hee hee! TEEEEEE HEE HEE HEE HEEEE! Er, Chelsea? Think you might be in the wrong room. Also how did you even get in? I'm pretty sure I locked the door. Hah! As if some dumb lock could get between us. ...Sure. Well, I'm pretty beat, so if you don't mind, could you like...leave, please? B-b-but, Luccy... How are we ever gonna get closer if you keep pushing me away?! Look, I wanna get some sleep, okay?! We can hang out later. ...Fine. I'll just stand guard here then. You get your beauty sleep, and I'll be here aaaall night to make sure nobody disturbs you. *sigh* This is gettin' outta hand. We've only known each other two weeks, for cryin' out loud. There I was, goin' toe to toe with some real tough fiends, when she showed up outta the blue to save my butt. Haaaaah! Phew! That got kinda dicey for a second. Thanks for the assist...Chelsea, was it? Yup! And it was my pleasure. Us meeting like this must be fate, huh? Tee hee! Uh, sure. You out here hunting fiends as well? No, I live nearby. Wait, there's a sylvan village on this mountain? Nope! I live on my own in a little hut. Like a hermit! Tee hee! With all these fiends around, it must be pretty dangerous. You should think about moving someplace safer. Ohmigosh, you're worried about me?! Eeeee! You are SO kind! I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family... Why don't you come stay in our castle, then? W-wait, are you saying we should live together? In a CASTLE?! Yeah! Everyone's welcome at the Halidom. Plus, you're a heckuva shot with that bow. You'd be great to have around! This is all so sudden... I mean—*gasp*! Are you propo...propos— So, whaddya think? Wanna come to the castle with me? Oh, YES! I DO! I do I do I doooo! She seemed normal-ish at the time. But once we got back to the castle... Good work at training today, Luccy! I brought you a little pick-me-up. Whoa, thanks! It looks delicious. Tee hee! I poured aaaaall my love into it, just for you! The eggs were laid just this morning, the fish was caught at dawn, and the bread is still warm from the oven. I even asked the butcher for his best cut of beef! And no, I totally did NOT spend too much time and/or money on this! I want to give you everything I have, every minute, of every day, FOREVER. 'Cause you deserve it! Tee hee! Now taste it. Er, okay... Dust dust dust, all day long! Wipe wipe wipe, till it all shines! Huh? Chelsea? What're you doing in my room? Cleaning it up nice and tidy, so you can enjoy every second you spend in it! Uh, thanks, but I usually do that myself. I'm pretty particular about where all my stuff goes. Oh, I know. I memorized all that DAYS ago. By the way, you were up far too late last night, mister! Er, how did you know that? While I was cleaning, I found hairs from you, the prince, and Ranzal. They weren't there when I came in to clean after dinner last night, so that MUST mean you three were up to some late-night shenanigans! Hold on—have you been cleaning my room every day? Of course, Luccy! It's part of my daily routine. ...... Man, I'm wrecked. Time for a nice long soak, I think. Might have the bath to myself, even... WAAAAH! Chelsea?! Why are you following me?! It's bath time, right Luccy? Want me to wash your back for you? Tee hee... Oh, come ON already! She just kept going, day after day after day. I guess she wanted to repay me for bringing her to the castle, but she's gone waaaay overboard. I'm lookin' over my shoulder constantly. ...Hunh? I must've passed out. She said she'd wait till morning, but there's no way she actually... Morning, Luccy! ...You've seriously been here all night? 'Course! I didn't even fall asleep once. Are you proud of me? Look, Chelsea. I don't really know how to put this gently, but...could you maybe back off a little? Huh? I get that you're thankful, and you're definitely one of the most thoughtful people I know. But there's a limit, yeah? Oh, Luccy. You're such a jokester! I'm your WIFE—this is just what marriage looks like! Uh. When did you become my WIFE?! When you invited me to live with you, silly! I was SO happy you just up and proposed like that. Whoa, I did NOT propose to you! Awww, you're embarrassed! You're such a cutie-pie. Chelsea, listen to me! Ah! I need to get your breakfast started. See you soon, my love! I'll miss youuuuu! Hey, wait! ...Damn. I gotta clear this up pronto... Luca? What's with all the racket? Oh, hey Sarisse. What're you doin' up so early? The folks back home wanted to deliver an engagement gift. I just got back with it. Oh yeah? Who's tyin' the knot? Uh, you and your fiancée, Chelsea. You feeling okay? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

Episode 2

Undying Affection

Open up and say aaah, Luccy! Aaah. Scrambled eggs, from my heart to your stomach! Yumtown, right? Oh, yeah. Totally "yumtown." Hee! Okay, try the apple salad next. Heeeere comes the dragon! Nyoooom! Can't a guy stuff his face in peace? *ahem* Luca? Chelsea? We are all overcome with joy at your union, but perhaps you might pay some mind to your table manners. Open up the cave, 'cause here comes the dragon! She's not even listening... (*sigh* I'm in seriously deep here. Gotta do something, and fast...) You're probably wondering how I ended up in this mess, gettin' fed like a baby in front of all my pals. Well... Me and Chelsea? MARRIED?! Where the hell'd ya hear that?! What, is it not true? Chelsea sent handmade cards to everyone in the village announcing your engagement. Rrgh... No, it's NOT true! She's just doin' whatever the heck she wants! Yeah, I kinda figured. Who'd wanna marry you? Look, can you please just go spread the word that this is all a big misunderstanding? I'll go talk to Chelsea. Ba-da, ba-doo, mixin' in some love, it's my secret spice. Ba-doo, ba-dee, Luccy's gonna love it 'cause I cooked it twice! Hey, Chelsea. Luccy! Perfect timing. Breakfast is aaalmost ready. Oh snap, that looks gr—wait, no! Look, I gotta clear something up. When I asked you to come live at the Halidom, that was NOT a marriage proposal. Awww, Luccy, you're so CUTE when you're joking. I'M NOT JOKING! Luccy...? I might've given you the wrong idea, and I'm sorry about that. But I want to be very clear: I was NOT saying we should get married. At all. ...So you hate me. What? No, I don't— You're my soul mate. We BELONG together. But I guess we can't be? Or we just won't be? I don't get it. I feel weird. This world is weird. This is all so WEIRD. Uh...Chelsea? Maybe I'll just burn the whole thing down. Start all over. What's the point of a world where my Luccy hates me? Burn it down. Burn it down, burn it DOWN, BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWNBURNITDOWNBURNITDOWN... ...Yep. I'll burn it aaaaall down. Starting with this castle. Tee hee! W-wait, Chelsea! I don't hate you! But you said you didn't propose, which means we're not getting married, which means you HATE me, which means I have to BURN— Nothing needs to burn. Let's forget about the burning, okay? ...Then can I keep feeding you? I had a dream, you know. I was feeding you, just like Mama and Papa used to feed me... *sigh* Sure. Fine. You can feed me. Really?! Yaaaaaaay! Tee hee hee hee heeee! Yeah, ha ha. Yaaaaay... She was super unstable. There was no telling what she woulda done if I'd left her like that. So I just went along with her demands. Man, I'm exhausted... Hey, Luca. How're things with you'n Chelsea? Ranzal! So glad you asked. I need to unload, man! *blah blah blah* That bad, huh? Want me to say something to her? Sometimes all ya need is a third party to point somethin' out. Would you really?! I'll take you out for... TEN dinners! I woulda done it for free, but I'll take that deal! Bwaaa ha ha! So? How'd it go? Er, well, I might actually owe YOU dinner at this point. She uh, didn't take it too well. *sigh* I knew it... Only thing left is to take some time apart, I reckon. Here's what we're gonna do... Okay, we managed to slip outta the castle without her noticing. But what is this place? This is my secret hideout in the woods. Knocked it together a while back as an emergency base of sorts. Chelsea won't find ya out here, and even if she does, she won't make it past the door. So all ya gotta do is lie low till her passion comes off the boil. Gotcha. Hey, you wouldn't happen to have something to drink— Hot tea for my hottie! Hey, tha—CHELSEA?! Wha—whe—HOW are you here?! The hell happened to the door?! I triple-deadbolted it myself! I always know where you are, Luccy. That's the power of love! Oh, and the power of love also lets me pick locks. Tee hee! Now, what are you doing all the way out here? You weren't being NAUGHTY, were you? Abort, abort! I prepped this smokescreen in case something like this went down. Quick Luca, out the back door! *pant* Did we lose her? Looks that way. Let's hunker down at the village nearby. GWAH! Ranzal! Are you all right?! ...Zzz... Wait... This arrowhead is dull. Could it be a mana-laced sleeping arrow? LUUUUCCYYYYY! Aw cripes! Gotta hide! Oh Luuuuuccyyyyy... I can smeeeeell youuuuuu... Are you...here?! Phew... I think I actually gave her the slip. Found you! BWAH! B-but you went the other way! Yeah, that was a fake out. Now, tell me why you keep running away, love of my life. (There's no escaping her... Look's like I've got no choice.) (If it goes badly, though, she'll torch the whole castle...) H-hey, can we talk some other time? What's wrong with right now? Ah, well, y'know, Ranzal's here, and I was really hoping we could talk...alone. *gasp* You mean a date?! What? No, I'm not— EEEEEEE! A DATE! Just me and my Luccy! Where should we go? What should I wear? Should I get a haircut? Ooo, what about makeup? And... Er... Okay, I guess we'll call it a date for now. (But can I even do it? Can I really clear up her misunderstanding?) (Whatever. I have to settle this once and for all. I either get through to her, or die trying!) Hee. A date. Tee hee! With my LUCCY! TEE HEE HEE HEEEEEE!

Episode 3

First Date

Ohmigosh, the food at that cafe was to DIE for! Yeah, it was pretty good. (I need to find a way to clear things up while we're on this date.) Hey, about that thing you thought was a proposal... Do you think that cafe will still be there when we have kids? Ooo, I wanna bring them there so bad! And then while we're eating, we can tell them how Mommy and Daddy had their FIRST DATE there! Tee hee! (Urgh... She's making this so hard to bring up...) Hey Luccy, can we stop at the tailor next? Sure, no problem. Huh? Weren't you gonna look at clothes? Nope. I'm here for fabric to MAKE clothes. Oh, you like sewing? Yep! Accessories, dolls, all kinds of things. (I just realized I don't actually know that much about her.) I want to make some baby clothes. Which do you prefer: floral or plaid? Hmm. Personally, I'd go for something a little more exciting, like—wait, whose babies, exactly? Tee hee! OURS, obviously! Oh, goodness me! Are you two expecting? Congratulations to you. Here, please take both, on the house! Wow! Look, Luccy! Now I can make clothes for TWO little ones! (I need to put my foot down, and fast!) Listen up, Chelsea! We need to talk about our relationship, okay? Luccy, you silly boy. Don't make a scene. ...... ...Right. Sorry. You know what? I should make new outfits for Mama and Papa, too. I'll take these fabrics as well, please! Um, Luccy? I'm going to go pick some flowers. *sigh* Failed again. Tell you what though, she's unexpectedly devoted to her family. Makin' clothes for her parents and everything... Wait. I don't know where I'd go, though. I don't have any family... Who are Mama and Papa then...? Nooooooo! Was that Chelsea?! Let me go! C'mon, gorgeous, don't be rude. What the hell are you guys doing?! Luccy, HEEELP! What's it to ya? You her boyfriend or somethin'? No, he's my HUSBAND! I am NOT! You're right. I meant FUTURE husband! Jeez, shut up already. I dunno what's up with you two, but unless you wanna taste these hands, I'd get lost. Sorry, but we're actually in the middle of a date. Yeah? Well your face is about to be datin' these fists! Hraaagh! Look out, Luccy! And you, let GO of me! Quit yer strugglin', would ya?! Uwaaaaah! My arm! Chelsea! Watch your step, kid. If you're not careful, this pretty little bird's gonna have a broken wing. Capiche? Now take what's comin' to ya! LUCCY! Look on the bright side, gorgeous. We just saved ya from marryin' a loser! Ha ha ha! ...How DARE you... What was that? YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW! Let me GO! Quit squirmin', dammit! You want both arms broken?! I have to save my Luccy... HURK! What the hell?! You shook him off?! Wh—eyaaargh! Where's this strength comin' from?! Uuuuurgh! Luccy! Are you okay?! I'll be fine. Man, you sure kicked the crap outta those goons. Love can be dangerous when threatened. Hee! Hey! You think you can just walk away?! Uh oh, Luccy, they're getting back up! Guess we'll have to set 'em straight for good. We're gonna be great parents, huh? C'mon, Luccy! Haaaah! I'm glad it all worked out, but still... Ow. I got you some medicine, and bandages too. Gimme oooone second, and I'll have you all fixed up. Thanks, Chelsea. (She's an oddball, but she's got a good heart.) (Which is exactly why I have to clear things up with her ASAP.) You know, you've saved me twice now. Huh? When was the first time? Back when we first met! I think about it every morning... And every night, too! Tee hee! What? You saved ME when we first met. I was fightin' those fiends. No, before that. You helped search for my Mama and Papa. Er, you lost me. You really don't remember...? We met on a mountain, right? And you said you had no family... ...I see. I was sure our meeting was fate... Chelsea? But for you, it was just... *sob* Hey, wait up! ...Urk! My leg! Chelseeea! ...Dammit. She's gone. What was that all about? Did we meet before that...?

Episode 4

Her Only Ally

Still no sign'a Chelsea, huh? No, and I've looked everywhere. Where could she have gone...? Sounds like she was pretty shaken when she heard ya didn't remember how you two met. Maybe there's some kinda clue in that? Maaaybe... She mentioned me helping her look for her parents, but there's no way I'd forget something like that. I had a look around Chelsea's room to see if there might be any clues. You find anythin'? Nothing that seemed like it might speak to her whereabouts. I did find these two dolls most curious, however. They look like sylvans... A man and a woman. ...Papa and Mama. *gasp* Is that what she meant...?! Mind fillin' us in there, pal? Right. Back before I ever came to the Halidom, I was doing an errand for my village... Hey, you. Whatcha doin' out here? I... I'm looking for my dolls. They're of my Mama and Papa. I love them... It's gonna be hard in the dark. Let me help you. Huh? Really...? 'Course. You look around here, and I'll start searching over there. Th-thank you... THAT'S where we first met. And if I know Chelsea, that's probably where she's headed right now! Sounds like ya better get movin'. (This is where we met, before fate brought us together again on that mountain.) (I was so sure Luccy shared my feelings...) *pant* Chelsea! *pant* L-Luccy?! You're here! Does that mean you...? Yep, I remember. We found the dolls of your mom and dad right here. Sorry for letting it skip my mind all this time. I'm just happy you remember. Tee hee! Still, I don't think it's fair to call our meeting "fate." I just did what anyone woulda done. No. What you said to me that day saved my life. Oh? I don't really remember saying anything that profound... There's still so much you don't know... Luccy. Can I tell you a story about my past? About my family. When I was little, my parents and I left the woodland village we lived in and moved to a human town so they could work as apothecaries. "We can better the world by spreading sylvan knowledge." They always used to say that. I thought they were the coolest, chasing their dream so intently. I wanted to help however I could, so I worked in their store a lot. But the humans were not as supportive. They refused to accept us, and burned the shop to the ground. And my parents, they... They both... ...I getcha. I'm sorry. I was taken in by some relatives in my old village, but since I'd already left once, I was branded a traitor to sylvan kind. I was shunned, and people whispered behind my back. Eventually, I decided to leave again, this time for good. What point was there in staying? They couldn't understand my parents' dream, and they couldn't understand me, either. Chelsea... Living alone was hard. But then I met you, and my world suddenly became brighter. All thanks to what you said to me when you found Mama and Papa. Whoa, so you modeled these dolls on your folks, huh? You guys must be really close. Yes... I want to be just like them. They tried to use sylvan knowledge to better the world, but nobody understood their dream. Sounds like your folks and I would get along. Huh? I feel the same way about spreading sylvan knowledge—and my village was also pretty down on the idea. I think everyone could benefit from sharing their discoveries with each other. That way, we all grow together. So I think what your parents were trying to do was really cool! ...! Hearing that brought me back from the brink. I realized I wasn't alone. And that made me so, so happy. All right, I remember now. Still... You're not going to take it back now, are you? You're the only one who understands my feelings, Luccy. So our meeting MUST have been fate. If we don't get married, I... Chelsea. Close your eyes for a second. Huh? Why? Wait... A-are we gonna kiss?! This is so sudden... But okay! Tee hee! Hey. *flick* Huh?! You flicked me! Did that snap you out of it? This has gone way too far already. You need to open your eyes and see what's really going on around you. ...What do you mean? You were hurt. Nobody around you understood you or your parents, so you felt alone. And I'm sure that was really hard. But the world is full of people who DO understand. You just stopped looking. I might've been the first one you met, but the Halidom is full of people who will understand your feelings. No... No way! The humans in town didn't accept us. The people in my village shunned me! NOBODY understands but YOU! That's just not true, Chelsea. But if you need me to prove that to you, then I will. Come on, let's head back to the castle. W-we're holding hands?! EEEEEEEE!

Episode 5

A Healing Heart

I had to prove to Chelsea that I wasn't the only one who had her back, so I gathered up everyone in the Halidom. ...Anyway, that's the plan. You guys up for helpin' out? We're with ya. And I'm sure we can find more people to join the cause. We'll send word to the sylvans in the woods. They're gonna come in DROVES! We shall ready the venue. It appears we will have quite a few guests. Thanks, gang! What are you up to, Luccy? Heh heh, it's a secret! But I promise you this: You're about to have a ton more friends. Luccy... A few days passed, and then I brought Chelsea to the courtyard. Wh-what's going on here? Just a little mixer. Humans and sylvans alike, breakin' bread and hangin' out. We rounded up some humans who wanted to know more about sylvan customs, and some sylvans who were happy to teach. So that's how y'all handle a bow, is it? Fascinatin'! The dyework here is incredible... I've never seen such unique colors! But you know, if you add mulberries to your dye, you can bring out even deeper shades. Is that so? Let's give it a try! They're all...getting along. And even LEARNING from each other! It's... Just like what your mom and dad were striving for, yeah? All of us at the Halidom have realized something, traveling around so much. There are lots of humans that wanna know more about sylvan practices. Waaay more than you'd think! And on the flipside, there's a ton of sylvans that wanna learn from humans, too. You just happened to be surrounded by a pretty insular crowd, I guess. They all look so happy... Just like Mama and Papa did. THERE you two are! DOUBLE BODY SLAM! Oof! Nya ha ha! That was a solid one! Jeez, take it easy! C'mon, it's just a friendly hello! I bet the humans here would take to it pretty quick. Hey Chelsea, we're all gonna play a game together. Wanna join us? You want ME? 'Course they do! You're the guest of honor. And you've only really been talking to Luca, right? Everyone else wants to get to know you too! Plus, between you and me, you can do WAY better than my brother. Everyone, gather round! We're gonna split into teams, and... *sniffle* What's wrong, Chelsea? I... I don't know. My heart feels all warm and fluffy, but I'm crying... Nobody's ever invited me to play before. What should I do, Luccy? Well, I think step one is to smile. And step two is to get out there! We're all just gonna goof off and get to know each other better. That's how you make friends, you know? ...Okay. Count me in! Thank you all for coming, everyone. Now, if you could all assist in the clean-up... Sorry Cleo, but I've gotta bounce. I owe Chelsea some one-on-one time. Of course. Good luck, Luca. Thanks for today, Luccy. I made a lot of new friends. Heck yeah you did! Wasn't it easy? It was. I guess I've kind of just been in my own world ever since my parents died. Nobody here had any problem with me; I just convinced myself otherwise. It sounds like you finally understand. And now that that's cleared up, we actually need to have another important discussion. You mind? Sure. What is it? I've thought a lot about how I wanna deepen and broaden the exchange between human and sylvan cultures. But to actually make it happen, we need this world to find peace first. Okay... I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm really honored that you care about me so much. But right now, I... Right now I can't think of anything but fighting alongside the prince and everyone. We're fighting to save our whole world. ...... So I need you to understand that what I said to you on the mountain wasn't a proposal. I'm really sorry I gave you the wrong idea. No, I should be the one apologizing. You tried to explain it multiple times, and I just didn't want to hear it. I... I'm going to go help clean up. Bye! Seemed like that went all right. Glad ya finally got through to her. She's lived a very unfortunate life. But I think it'll be different after today. For your sake, I hope so. Bwa ha ha! I thought that was the end of it, but... *yawn* Morning already? Morning, Luccy! Mornin' Chel—WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN MY ROOM?! I came to wake you up, silly! But you looked so cute all snuggled up, I ended up just staring for a while. Tee hee! Aw, man... Wait, I KNOW I locked the door last night! I gave her a key. It's not good for a lock to be picked so frequently. But if you're gonna wake him up, ya gotta actually do it, Chelsea! Wh—Cleo? Sarisse?! What is going ON?! I've tasked Chelsea with looking after you for a while. She'll keep you out of trouble. Riiight? Yup! I'm gonna take the BEST care of you, Luccy. I'll prove to you that I'm prime wife material! Er, did we not JUST clear up the whole marriage thing? Oh, we did. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. If anything, I like you even MORE now! Tee hee! Besides, once you save the world and junk you'll be free to get married, right? That's where I come in. *sigh* Two steps forward, one step back... Remember that cloth I got on our date? I made some outfits for our future kids; one for a girl, and one for a boy. Do you have any ideas for names? I'd love to name the boy Luccy, after my favorite person in the whole world! I have girl names picked out too, of course, but we should probably lock in our wedding details before all that. Where do you want to have the ceremony? Hold on a secon— We'll live happily ever after, one big happy family! Tee hee heeee! Oh, come ooooooon!
