Vyrium Vacation Album/Story

Location


Head to Cuppa Moment and enjoy an elegant afternoon tea filled with that Roscaelifer flair.	Take the Nimbus Ring Line for a full loop around Booastrum. The afternoon service is usually pretty empty.	Stay right here in Vyrium. Even if it's a holiday, it's a holiday that belongs to this place.

Surprise Event

Order the classic afternoon tea set for two. It's a rare day off, so they should slowly enjoy it.	Ask Tin Master to whip up a custom drink for each of them based on their preferences, and see whose turns out tastier!	Get Claret to mix a drink herself! Time to show what real mastery of tea is all about.
Tin Master rolls up with a food cart: "Congrats, you two are our lucky customers of the day! This meal's on the house! But we'll need to snap a photo for promotional purposes." He glances at the two customers: "To appear more intimate, couples usually go for a kiss or feed each other snacks. As for you two..." — Upon hearing that crucial keyword with pinpoint precision, the cafe's patrons turn their heads and look over.

Claret's face turns bright red: "K—Kiss...?! Oh wait! We could also feed each other snacks! That's... not entirely out of the question..."	Let Roxy decide. She's always cool and reliable in every situation.	Claret pretends not to hear, keeping her head down and sipping her tea. She mutters a tiny jab under her breath, but Roxy catches it anyway and lets out a soft little laugh.

Let Claret take charge of planning the optimal sightseeing route. The Director of Flint Workshop immediately starts pointing and gesturing at the map.	Sit by the window in silence, watching the light outside shift from afternoon to dusk.	Play a game of predicting which Bangboo model gets on at the next stop. Whoever guesses wrong has to answer a question from the other person.
Before long, the bus is completely empty. Apart from the two, the last passengers had gotten off at the previous stop. As the bus winds along the cliffs, the speed gradually slows. The driver Bangboo awkwardly speaks up: "Eh-nuh... En-eh nu-nah... (There's a little issue with the route data. We'll need to stop for a few minutes to recalibrate...)" And so the bus hovers to a stop at the scenic section of the cliffside. Outside the window, the lights of Booastrum flicker on, one by one...

Claret murmurs to herself: "Actually... it's even quieter than when I was waiting at the platform earlier. That's nice."	Roxy maintains her usual composure: "Looks like we can't get off the bus for now, so why don't we continue our little questioning from earlier? This time, it's your turn to ask me something, milady."	Claret feigns composure: "What a romantic moment! And of course, Roxy's still right here by my side..."

Head back to the workshop for overtime, of course. That's the work ethic of the Flint Workshop's director and her chief assistant!	The scenery in Vyrium is pretty nice too. Take a stroll along the beach and follow the coastline all the way to the bridge by the workshop. You'll be just in time to witness the setting sun.	Head back to the manor, brew some tea, sink into the couch, and watch a classic movie. Now that's the way to enjoy a weekend!

Surprise Event
Halfway through her overtime shift, Roxy is sorting through an old filing cabinet when a yellowed notebook slides out from a hidden compartment. She flips it open: it's the very first Porcelloy forging sketch Claret had drawn as a child... Scrawled beside it in crooked, uneven handwriting: "...One day, I will develop a technique to forge Porcelloy without the need for blood. Roxy will surely stay by my side..."

Claret snatches it away and shouts: "Don't look!" She then sneaks a peek at a few pages herself, her ears turning red.	Roxy closes the notebook and adjusts her glasses. "Milady's handwriting has always been so distinctive."	Claret points to a corner of the sketch: "This design is pure genius, right?! Here's what I was thinking..." Before long, the two dive into a serious discussion.

Surprise Event
There are only ten seconds left of the perfect sunset! Roxy presses the shutter with a serious expression, then hands the camera to Claret: "Gorgeous." Claret stares at herself on the screen, her silhouette illuminated by the sunset's golden edge: "Hmm... Feels like there's something missing..." Roxy pushes her glasses up, looking confused. "What's the matter, milady? Is the angle not quite right, or did I not capture the moment naturally enough?"

A relatively serious Claret: "Maybe it's the lighting that's changed?" With the blue hour approaching, better snap a few more shots...	A slightly hesitant Claret: "...That's great. The ever-reliable Roxy pulls through as usual! So... how about this one?"	The Claret that comes to a sudden realization: "The problem is that you're not in it! The last traces of the afterglow of the sunset match your eyes perfectly!"

Surprise Event
Halfway through the movie, Claret notices that Roxy has gone quiet. She turns around to see the girl leaning against the armrest of the sofa, her glasses sliding down to the tip of her nose. Her breathing is steady and even, while a half-read book lies splayed open on her lap. The crease in the pages marks the spot where Claret once said her favorite passage was.

Claret gently takes off Roxy's glasses, closes the book gently, then goes back to watching the movie, pretending nothing happened.	Claret mutters quietly, "You're normally so full of energy, but the moment it's time to take a break..." She pulls a blanket over and drapes it across Roxy.	Claret doesn't wake her up, turns the movie volume down a couple of notches, and places a cushion on her lap, allowing Roxy to drift off to sleep on the cushion.
