A Sketchy Summer/Script

Part 1: A Distracted Duo

Pre-Battle

Anna: Ugh... It was useless... I'm a failure... A total and abject failure!
Sharena: Commander Anna?! Was that you shouting in here? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!
Alfonse: That Sounds of the Ocean tome... I don't think anybody is buying it. And I mean that quite literally.
Anna: "Relax to the sounds of crashing waves..." What a joke! I'm a joke! My whole life has been a joke! No... No, that's not true! I'm not a failure—I'm a saleswoman! And a true saleswoman always bounces back! I just need a new plan... And I've got it! There's a light at the end of this tunnel!
Sharena: (I'm glad she's capable of helping herself, but even I've never seen the commander this manic...) What's your new idea, Commander? Can I help?
Anna: We're going to draw them! We'll capture the allure of summering Heroes with quill and parchment! There's no way something like that won't sell. It's so...so... Artisanal!
Sharena: But won't the other Anna charge a fee for using their likenesses?
Anna: We'll keep costs down by doing the work ourselves. We'll save money in the long run! I'm talking pure profit! You bring the quills, parchment, and your can-do attitude, and I'll go learn how to draw!

Camilla: I just love how easy it is to move around in this. Maybe I'll incorporate it into my armor somehow.
Linde: It is easy to move in, but doesn't it seem like we could be better dressed for battle?
Camilla: Linde, I'm surprised! Your usual outfit isn't exactly...modest...
Linde: That outfit is very special to me, Camilla. It's entirely different from wearing this!

Post-Battle

Linde: I just can't get used to fighting in this.
Camilla: Sweet child. It's clear to me you're struggling. Come, let the two of us retreat for now.

Part 2: A Playful Pair

Pre-Battle

Tiki: Wow, look at the ocean! It's so big! Big enough for all my friends to play in, all at the same time!
Takumi: It sure is. Blue waters, blue skies... A perfect day. I hope we can be freed from this annoying contract soon. I came here to go swimming, after all.

Post-Battle

Tiki: We have to fall back and regroup with the others! Oh, but... Where did we say we'll meet up again?
Takumi: Oh, what am I going to do with you... Come on, follow me.
Tiki: Thanks, Tak-Tak!

Part 3: A Little Drawn Out

Pre-Battle

Camilla: This is our final battle. Once it's over, we'll be freed from the contract.
Linde: I'll just have to do my best despite being without my usual outfit.
Tiki: And when we're done, we all get to finally play in the ocean! Right?
Takumi: That's exactly right, Tiki. I am not leaving before a nice, long swim! Now, let's move out!

Post-Battle

Linde: Your strength has been demonstrated. Thank you! I'd be glad to help you the next time we meet. Although, my battle effectiveness may vary depending on my attire...

Anna: OK, everyone, it's time to see your hard work! Where are those drawings?
Sharena: Oh, me first! Take a look! Pretty good, right?
Anna: I like your spirit, Sharena! Now let's take...a...look... Are you serious? This is a joke, right? A child could scribble better! And did you give the sun a smiley face?!
Sharena: Hey, hurtful! And I happen to think my sun is very cute! Anyway, it's not like your drawing is any better.
Anna: Hey, I'm the big-idea person. I've got business sense, not artistic sense! OK, Alfonse, you're up. Let's see it.
Alfonse: Oh, I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you... I hardly had time to finish the cross-hatching.
Sharena: Let Sharena: Art Critic be the judge of that. Whoa! Alfonse, this is good! I should have known you'd be great at this, too. But... It's sort of... How can I put this...
Anna: It's boring! There's absolutely nothing alluring about this drawing!
Sharena: Well, I wouldn't put it so bluntly, but... She's right. Sorry, Alfonse.
Aflonse: Well, I told you not to get your hopes up.
Anna: This is bad, guys... Really bad. I'm starting to see a real pattern here with us. Wait! I almost forgot about our savior! Show us what you've got, Kiran!
Sharena: Oh, of course! You're probably a master artist back in your home world, right, Kiran?
Anna: A skilled summoner and a skilled artist! We really hit the jackpot with you! Oh, my hopes are up so high right now... Show me what you've got!
Alfonse: Even if it's a great drawing, that will leave us with exactly one drawing to sell...
Anna: We'll reproduce it as many times as we need! We have a whole army of Heroes working for us! So, quit stalling and show us already! *gasp* This... This is...
