Dialogue
*You enter the Forest of Infinite Terror and meet Big Daddy for the first time as it has been over a year.*
Big Daddy: Greetings, <Character>! I can't believe it's already been a year!
<Character>: What's up, Big Daddy?
Big Daddy: Straight to the point as always, I see. I like that, baby!
Big Daddy: I guess you're familiar with the organization known as "The Rose"?
<Character>: ...You could say that, yes.
Big Daddy: Luckily, thanks to all the protection the lovely people of Lore give us, The Rose won't mess with the magic of love.
Big Daddy: However, one of their members made it here with a request.
<Character>: The Rose is here? In this magic-filled forest?!
*A female Rose member with knotted red velvet hair enters the Forest with a saddened look on her face; you turn around to face her.*
???: Not the reason you're think of right now, <Character>.
<Character>: And what reason would that be, Miss...?
Rosaline: The name's Rosaline, as for my reason, it has to do with my boyfriend.
Rosaline: Julian?
Rosaline: The hero is here!
*Julian, Rosaline's boyfriend, arrives swiftly to the Forest.*
Julian: <Character>! I've heard so much about you! I'm sure you can help us out of this predicament!
<Character>: Pleasure to meet you.
<Character>: But wait... did you just say "boyfriend"?
Rosaline: I did.
<Character>: But he's a mage.
Rosaline: That would be the reason for my visit. We've heard tales of Big Daddy's miracle work when it comes to love.
Big Daddy: Forbidden love, baby! Two souls connected, but unable to see each other because of their circumstances.
<Character>: I see... but how?
Julian: Funny story, actually... I was traveling to further my studies in magic, when I was suddenly attacked by a Gorillaphant!
Rosaline: Luckily, I was patrolling and helped him fend off the beast.
Julian: If it hadn't been for Rosaline, I don't want to think what would've happened...
Julian: After that, Rosaline decided to escort me to my destination. During which she tried to convince me to join The Rose.
Rosaline: I was so close, too!
Julian: But not close enough, my dear.
Rosaline: Julian made it very clear that while he was neutral toward The Rose, he didn't have any intention to join our cause.
Julian: And Rosaline explained that despite her joining The Rose, she wasn't against magic per se, she just wants to help people.
Rosaline: During our short trip, we fell for each other... However, we're unable to see each other in public because of the taboos from both our sides...
Julian: I can't get through those blasted magic checks! Please <Character>, we implore you to help us with this!
*You briefly hesitate before answering, knowing your experiences working with both sides in mind.*
<Character>: I see... I would love to help you with this, but I wouldn't know how!
Big Daddy: Don't worry, baby. Big Daddy has a plan for you!
<Character>: Oh? Do tell.
Big Daddy: I can brew Julian a potion that can stop magic for a small amount of time. That way, he can visit Rosalie.
*You gasp out of extreme concern immediately after Big Daddy reveals his plan.*
<Character>: What?! That's dangerous! He can't possibly take the risk!
Julian: Don't worry, <Character>. Big Daddy already informed me about this plan and I'm more than willing to take the risk.
<Character>: But what if the Rose finds out and gets their hands on this potion?! What if they can replicate it? No mage would be safe!
Big Daddy: Don't worry, baby! This potion is special.
<Character>: Special how?
Big Daddy: It will only affect someone who takes it and wishes with all their heart for it to work.
<Character>: So it won't work if someone is forced to drink it?
Big Daddy: It'll be like water to them!
*You start to calm down as you turn around to look at Julian to confirm his sincerity.*
<Character>: If you say so... and you're sure you're ok with this, Julian?
Julian: I've never been more certain of anything.
<Character>: Alright then... What do you want me to do, Big Daddy?
Big Daddy: I knew you would help! I have most ingredients ready for a year's supply of potions, but I need one more thing.
Big Daddy: The Quintessence!
<Character>: Sounds important.
Big Daddy: It very much is, baby!
Big Daddy: It's so rare... that it's literally unobtainable in nature!
*Your eyebrows raise in confusion to the Quintessence.*
<Character>: Oh.
<Character>: Okay?
<Character>: Then how will I get it?
Big Daddy: Hmm, let me think!
*Big Daddy moves his head down and closes his eyes in order to answer the question of how someone would get the Quintessence.*
Big Daddy: *murmuring* Avatars are unreachable...
Big Daddy: *murmuring* The Great Dragons are out of the question...
Big Daddy: *murmuring* Aequilibria are in a slumber...
Big Daddy: *murmuring* Perhaps...
*Without warning, he opens his eyes and smiles enthusiastically on answering your question of getting the Quintessence.*
Big Daddy: That's it!!!
Big Daddy: I've come up with a way!
Big Daddy: You will have to go... and visit Love!!!
*You became interested of Big Daddy's words of Love.*
<Character>: Love?
Big Daddy: Love!
<Character>: You're sending me...
<Character>: ... to Love?
Big Daddy: Yeah, baby!
<Character>: Love, as in... an actual person?
Big Daddy: Not quite!
<Character>: Well, that's new.
Big Daddy: You wanna know where Love is?
*You lower your eyebrows as you want to see Love.*
<Character>: Umm... I want you to show me, yes.
Big Daddy: It's all around, baby, ahahaha!
<Character>: ...
Big Daddy: Love's Shack!
Big Daddy: You'll have to go to Love's Shack! It's fifteen miles that way, baby!
<Character>: Understood! Thanks, Big Daddy!
Big Daddy: Just... a word of advice, before you go. Love has an open door policy, but it'd be better if you bang bang bang on the door, just in case... baby!
<Character>: ... Noted.
*You fight various elementals as you find Love's Shack; eventually, you enter Love's Shack.*
<Character>: Excuse me, I'm looking for Lov—
<Character>: WOW!
*Scene pans outward to show a sitting, red winged individual with bright pink hair looks down upon you; this winged individual turns out to be Love, who also shifts their form; you became surprised.*
Love: Welcome.
<Character>: You are—
Love: I know, my child.
<Character>: —beautiful.
Love: Please, come closer.
Love: My eyes are not what they used to be.
*You greet yourself to Love.*
<Character>: It's... a pleasure to meet you.
Love: It is indeed, my child.
*Upon hearing Love's words, you affirm that they are not a child.*
<Character>: I'm not a child!
Love: You are a human.
Love: All of you are my children.
Love: Why have you come here, human?
<Character>: I have come here on behalf of Big Daddy.
Love: Valentidus! How is he?
<Character>: Umm... good?
<Character>: I suppose?
Love: That's good.
*You begin to speak up about the Quintessence in Big Daddy's behalf.*
<Character>: I seek the Quintessence.
Love: Why?
<Character>: Big Da—Valentidus wants to help two lovers, who are—
Love: Forbidden love.
<Character>: Yes.
*After Love knows of Big Daddy's situation, you ask them to lend the Quintessence.*
<Character>: Caaaan youuuu... lend me some Quintessence?
<Character>: Please?
<Character>: Or... do I have to fight you? I don't know how this works around here.
Love: You can't fight love.
*After Love affirms that they can't fight love, they ask your name.*
Love: What is your name?
<Character>: <Character>.
Love: I will give you the Quintessence... if you tell me who or what do you love?
<Character>: Umm...
*On a purple scroll Love presents to you, you write down who or what are you passionate about and you hand it back to them once you have written your veiled response.*
Love: I see.
Love: Very well.
Love: Here you go.
*Crystals made with eight different colors materialize in front of you; this is the Quintessence.*
<Character>: Well... that was easy.
Love: It wasn't. You have opened up to me. I will remember you.
<Character>: Thanks...?
Love: Good luck on your journey, <Character>.
Love: May love be on your side.
*Scene fades to black, before fading back in; you arrive back at the Big Daddy's area, where Big Daddy, Rosaline, and Julian are waiting for you.*
Big Daddy: You're back, baby! Have you found Love? Did you get the Quintessence?
<Character>: I... did.
Big Daddy: Is something wrong?
<Character>: No, it's...
<Character>: No, everything is fine!
Big Daddy: Let's get cooking then!
Some Cooking Later!
*Big Daddy has cooked a rainbow colored potion, filled with the Quintessence.*
Big Daddy: It's done!
Big Daddy: Julian, get over here, baby!
Julian: I trust you know what you're doing, Big Daddy.
Big Daddy: Good, otherwise it wouldn't work!
Julian: Well, here goes nothing.
*Julian drinks the potion.*
Julian: *gulp!* *gulp!* *gulp!*
Rosaline: D-Did it work?
Julian: I don't know... I don't feel any differ—
*Suddenly, Julian becomes sickly and his face spontaneously flashes rainbow colors, caused by the potion he drank earlier.*
Julian: UGH!
Rosaline: JULIAN!
Big Daddy: Relax, baby. This is all part of the process.
Rosaline: He's in pain! I KNEW this was a trap!
Julian: Rosaline... don't...
Julian: See? I'm ok!
Rosaline: And your magic?
Julian: It's gone! Or at least... I can't sense it anymore. And if I can't sense it...
Rosaline: Then neither can the checkpoints.
Rosaline: Thank you, Big Daddy... I'm sorry if I yelled at you.
Big Daddy: It's ok, baby. Love makes us do strange things.
Big Daddy: Now keep in mind the potion works for about half a day until it wears off. That should be enough time for you to see each other for a bit, right?
Julian: You have my sincerest gratitude, Big Daddy.
Big Daddy: It's not a problem! Now go and have fun, you two!
Rosaline: We will.
Rosaline: Let's go, Julian!
*You watch Rosaline and Julian leave from the Forest.*
Big Daddy: Another happy customer!
<Character>: And this year I didn't even have to wear that silly bear costume!
Big Daddy: Ah! Good thing you said that, Baby! I still have a ton of snugglegrams that need to be delivered!
<Character>: Me and my big mouth...
Big Daddy: Happy Hero's Heart Day, <Character>!
*Scene fades to black.*
