Timeless Ties/Ilyana: Hungering Mage

Ilyana: Hungering Mage - C

Ilyana	We have a new member joining today's meeting of the Heavy Plate Corps... It's me, but from another world... Please welcome Ilyana...
Hello, I'm Ilyana...		Ilyana
Effie	Pleasure to meet you, Ilyana!
Yes, nice to meet— Hold it! Let me get one thing clear! What is this Heavy Plate Corps?! I have no recollection of joining, and I have no intent to do so now!		Rinkah
Effie	It's... Well...we all eat a lot. Eveyrone here eats more than most every other person...several times over.
Well, I— I-it may be true that I eat more than most...		Rinkah
Effie	If you consume a lot of food, you also have to put out a lot of effort in order to balance things out... Otherwise, that food could be put to better use in more efficient-bellied Heroes...
Effie is right... The Heavy Plate Corps must eat a lot of delicious, delicious food to keep going... So, we have to work together to make sure we produce the necessary results.		Ilyana
Rinkah	I am not convinced I want any part of this, but your argument is sound...
I just arrived in Askr... Don't know up from down here, let alone where the dining hall or kitchen is... Please allow me to join you as a trainee member of the Heavy Plate Corps...		Ilyana
Ilyana	You are, of course, welcome to join... And we will all do our best...to get delicious food...
To fill our bellies!		Effie
Rinkah	... ...Stop looking at me like that! You want my help. I got it. Fine. May we never miss a meal.
All right, let's head into town... We can each trade notes on which dining halls offer the best portions.		Ilyana

Ilyana: Hungering Mage - B

Ilyana	This is...Askr's castle town?
It's lively... It's a good town... And there are many delicious dining halls as well...		Ilyana
Ilyana	Yes... The aromas in the air are stimulating my appetite...
Oh no! It's the Heavy Plate Corps! Hurry! Close the door! No—lock it! And turn out the lights! They'll eat our entire month's supply!		???
Rinkah	What is this? We're some of your best customers! ...Why would they close down now?
Perhaps...they cannot make food fast enough to keep up with the vigor with which we eat...		Effie
Ilyana	And we eat everything, including condiments, down to the last granule of sugar...
That would explain it...		Ilyana
Rinkah	Strange. I never knew we overate to such an extent.
Will any dining hall open their doors to us?		Ilyana
Effie	Worry not... I know just the place. The Brightstar Knight Pavilion! It is managed by a kindly and generous elderly couple... They will accept us!
Phew! What a feast! It tasted great, and the portions were a good size. I am completely satisfied!		Rinkah
Ilyana	Yes, it was wonderful... We should make it an official certified Heavy Plate dining hall...
Finding such delicious food so soon after arriving in a new world... I feel truly blessed...		Ilyana
Rinkah	When we get back to the castle, I have more I would like to tell you... Important information.
I look forward to hearing it, but... I may need to eat again before I can focus on what you have to say...		Ilyana

Ilyana: Hungering Mage - A

Rinkah	Right. So when training outdoors or when out on longer missions, someone will have to cook. At times like those...it is of utmost importance to consider exactly WHO will be preparing the meals.
Mm-hmmm...		Ilyana
Rinkah	Oscar of the Greil Mercenaries... Peri of Nohr... Princess Caeda of Talys... There's no going wrong with those three. Do not spare a second thought. Go for seconds.
I can confirm Oscar's cooking is very tasty...		Ilyana
Rinkah	As for who to avoid... Sully and Kjelle of Ylisse...and the maid Felicia... If they are in charge of the meals, steer clear lest you are on death's door. You have been warned.
I see... Only if it's life or death... If this duty is rotating... Then it will be my turn at some point too... When a Heavy Plate Corps member is up, we should be able to eat a lot then too...		Ilyana
Rinkah	Ah... You might think so... But when my turn comes, I cannot recommend you take more than you need.
The food is edible, really. But...it's an acquired taste.		Effie
Ilyana	I see... There are dangers at every turn... The teachings of the Heavy Plate Corps are truly profound...

Ilyana: Hungering Mage - S

Ilyana	This land...Askr is a wonderful place. The more I learn about the food here, the more my determination grows...
Please, try some sweets, me from another world...		Ilyana
Ilyana	Thank you, me from another world...
Now, as members of the Heavy Plate Corps we must go out and do what good we can.		Effie
Rinkah	Right. As long as we pull our weight on the battlefield, no one should complain.
Here in Askr, there are still many flavors and dishes we have not yet encountered... Let's keep our eyes open for more delectable discoveries... And let's not forget... There is always the chance another great chef is summoned... Any day...		Ilyana
Ilyana	That's true... One might argue that such a person would be essential to Askr's successful defense...
Well, our ultimate goal ought to be a peace that requires no Heroes to maintain it.		Rinkah
Ilyana	We must simply do our best... Both to do right by Askr and by our bellies...
Though I'd prefer to not get involved any more than necessary, I'm willing to work toward that common goal.		Rinkah
Ilyana	Then the pact is sealed... Shall we go out and fill our bellies to celebrate? Rumor is that Oscar is on cooking duty in the outer training grounds...
No objections here!		Effie
Rinkah	All right. It'll be nice to get some training in anyway. It's been a while since my last good session!
Rinkah... Please don't...charge down the hallway...		Ilyana
Ilyana	Heavy Plate Corps... How blessed my stomach and I are to have found such great friends... If we work together, we can create a new world... One where no one ever goes hungry... Once we've established a lasting peace, everyone can fill their bellies together...
