Dialogue

Noice! Looks like we got ourselves some treasure maps! Well, there's certainly nothing at all suspicious about this. I found 'em inside a bottle, Cleo. A BOTTLE! Three maps marked with Xs inside an old bottle? What else could they be?! It would be fun if it were true, but I think I'm with Cleo here. Guys, I got 'em from an old antiques dealer who said he picked the bottle up on the shore. What else do you need?! You are putting your trust in a peddler who sold you something that was just lying on the ground? Give those here, Luca. ...Well, I'll be. These are maps of Lewis Island. YOU SEE?! Celliera knows the score! So if you don't wanna trust me, you should at least trust her. I make no claims as to the veacity of the treasure portion, but it IS a lovely place. Lewis Island? Hell, I love that place! Nothin' but white sand and blue skies, far as the eye can see. I wanna goooooo! Actually, that ain't a bad idea. Whaddya think, boss? We've got a boatload'a new pals floatin' around the castle these days, so a little team bondin' on a tropical island might be good for everybody. Well, even if the treasure doesn't pan out, I won't say no to a little vacation on a sunny beach. An excellent plan! We can run marathon sprints on the wet sand and follow that up with a few rounds of ocean squat thrusts! It'll be like a reboot of everyone's training! Heh. Just try not to run us into the ground, all right? You should join us, Julietta. As fellow Paladyns, this will be a perfect chance for us to learn more about each other. You want to get to know me better, Elly?! ...Er, I mean, Elisanne! Well, of COURSE I will go! I thought you were going to spend the summer at a private beach? I...I've changed my mind! Good! I know we will have a most delightful time. I guess that just leaves you, Verica. I'll have to pass--I have plans to go on a long trip and open a divination stand. Duty calls, eh? I understand. That said, I was actually planning to go to that very island, so I'll try to stop by during any free time I might have. That would be great!
After changing into swimsuits, the group made their way to sunny Lewis Island and headed straight for the beach.

Oh wow, this water is perfect. Who's up for a swim?! Stop right there! You must warm up properly before entering the water! If you dive right in and get a cramp, it could be curtains! ...CURTAINS! Thanks for the warning, Estelle. You know, I'm actually sort of surprised you agreed to come with us. Someone needs to ensure that you all remain on your best behavior and down't engage in any strange or indecent activities! The summer sun often makes people lose all sense of decorum and discretion. Gotcha. I'll be careful too. Enough chatter! Let's make with the treasure huntin' already! Well, we have three maps here, so maybe we should split into three teams and check each one. Now THAT sounds like a plan! I'll take this one. ...Yoink! I'm sure I can come up with ample training opportunities even in the midst of such and adventure. U-um, Elisanne? Perhaps you would like to go treasure-hunting...together? Purely to help Luca, of course. CERTAINLY not because I hope to grow closer to you in the process. Er, that is.. I completely understand. While I have little interest in treasure, I am always prepared to aid a friend. Might I take one of the maps, Luca? Hmm. This seems to lead to a dense jungle area. Shall we be off, Julietta? Oh, Elly! I'm so happy that... Er, I mean, ELISANNE! Yes, that's what I said. Thanks for the assists, everybody. Oh, and don't worry--we'll split the booty equally once we track it down. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find the treasure on this here map. Well, everyone certainly seems excited about this particular endeavor. You're not coming, Cleo? No, I think I will stay here and find a shady spot to relax in. Being prepared for the unexpected is part of an attendant's duty, after all. If you're going to relax on the beach, shouldn't you be wearing a swimsuit? How dare you harangue a woman into donning a swimsuit! Was THAT your motive for coming to the beach this whole time, you scoundrel?! What?! No! By the way, Estelle, is it quite all right to permit him to keep doing that? Doing what? ...Rats! Nothin'. Guess I'll try diggin' a little over here. AAAAUGE! HE'S COVERING THE ENTIRE BEACH IN HOLES! Stop that at once! If you know a way to dig for treasure WITHOUT makin' holes, I'm all ears. ...'Course I'm all ears anyway, Nya ha! If you are going to dig holes, I insist that you fill them afterward. Someone could easily sprain an ankle in one of these! Oh dang, you're right. I'll make sure to fill 'em once I'm done, yeah? I've no problem with a treasure hunt, but you MUST practice moderation. Seeing your shenanigans makes me wonder what everyone ELSE is up to. Time for a decency check! Man, Estelle can be BRUTAL sometimes. Heh. It's proof she's a kind soul who cares about us all. You call THAT kind?! She just doesn't want to see anyone get hurt. Nothing wrong with that. Chop chop, Euden! Er, chop chop to...what exactly? As the lord of the castle, you are responsible for the actions of your people. Now come wiht me so we can ensure they don't get up to more mischief! Can't argue with that. I'm on my way!
