Dialogs:

NPC:Hello, I am the Iron Chef 400.

NPC:What is this Kurt? A machine that can talk?

NPC:I am not just a machine, I am the Iron Chef 400. Erenor's finest invention and your best friend in the kitchen.

NPC:/dialogue This is hilarious! What can it cook?

NPC:It can't really cook, but it can chop vegetables, knead dough and even grind meat.

NPC:I most certainly can cook. I can cook pies, soups, casseroles and many other things.

NPC:I can't wait to see it in action. Kurt, what should we make it cook first?

NPC:/dialogue Well, I got it for you kid, so why don't you pick?

NPC:/dialogue I could eat a bite. How about something savory?

NPC:/best It can't possibly cook anything more bland than Kurt's food, so I'd be interested in trying it as well.

NPC:I disagree with Isan's statement. I find Kurt's seasoning just right, but nevertheless, I'd like to see what this machine can do as well.

NPC:/haha Yes, me too! Cook something for us, little chef!

NPC:I shall be glad to cook something for you.

NPC:Please hand me all ingredients and tell me what to prepare.

Stage summary:

Talk to Cook Kurt at the Golden Fable Harbor in Sanddeep.

Dialogs:

NPC:/scratch I have enough ingredients for just about anything, it's entirely up to you Mikaella.

NPC:/dialogue Whatever makes you happy, you can have it.

NPC:I shall be glad to cook something for you.

NPC:Please hand me all ingredients and tell me what to prepare.

NPC:/surprise Meat pie! Can you make slow cooked meat pie? With little peas and carrots inside? Oh and maybe gravy?

NPC:/laugh That sounds great, I can't wait to try it. And to see you so cheerful Mikaella, warms my heart.

NPC:/scratch If I could, I would travel back in time and buy one of these machines, so we could have been eating proper food the whole time we were here.

NPC:/disagree Travel back in time? Well, but that is impossible right?

NPC:/surprise I mean... I've read a lot of theories describing possible ways to time travel.

NPC:/dialogue Some of them were incredibly detailed, describing how to manipulate the spacetime continuum to achieve such a thing, among other theories.

NPC:/cry So it is possible? After all, we figured out how to use Hereafter Stones to effectively teleport ourselves.

NPC:/sigh Now listen... the Hereafter Stones are a proven science. All those stories about time travel is made up nonsense. If it worked, wouldn't you think someone would have done it by now?

NPC:Well, Mikaella claims her father managed to travel through time and so did Shatigon.

NPC:/frustrated Your empty stomachs are making you all talk crazy stuff.

NPC:/dialogue Think what you want, I believe Mikaella, and if anyone can ever make time travel work, it's the daughter of the genius Mikael Ynga.

NPC:You really think I could maybe do the same? Figure out how to go back in time, like my father?

NPC:/dialogue Maybe yes, but didn't you also say that your father got stuck in the past and never made it back to the present? Sounds like a high price to pay.

NPC:/dialogue My mother would be devastated if she lost me too...

NPC:I agree. So perhaps it's best to just leave it at that and enjoy some meat pies instead. How much longer, till that machine is done?

NPC:/sigh Well, I was thinking... since we already know how to travel through space using Hereafter Stones and Teleport Scrolls, it wouldn't take much more to figure out how to manipulate time too.

NPC:The flow of time and the condition of space go hand in hand, it really should be quite obvious how to control it with our existing knowledge.

NPC:/dialogue I also have some old notes of my father on the topic, that were recovered from his labratory in Mariano...

NPC:Mikaella, are you alright? You look like you just saw a ghost.

NPC:/point Homes in Aubre Cradle, Marianople and Airain Rock...

NPC:/fury Could it be that...

NPC:/dumbfounded No, no, no this is impossible, but then...

NPC:/suffer Is that why the ring showed me that vision?!

NPC:/victory I'M SO STUPID!!! SO SO STUPID!!!

NPC:...

NPC:/scratch What's going on? Are you ok?

NPC:/fury I'm going to be ok now, I finally figured it out. The Gray Hermit.... he...

NPC:/taunt I have to try it, I simply have to! This might be my only chance!

NPC:/point I'm going to Airain Rock... @PC_NAME(0), please don't try to stop me, you can understand, right?

Follow Mikaella Ynga to the Hermit's Hut in Airain Rock to make sure she is safe.
Use the Starshower Teleport Scroll to get there faster.

Dialogs:

NPC:I knew you would follow me here. Please don't try to stop me.

NPC:/dialogue Listen, I know time travel is possible because my father DID return from the past. He was here the entire time, but his mind was changed.

NPC:This whole time I thought the Gray Hermit was a crazy old man that put up with me because he felt pity for Ynga's misunderstood daughter.

NPC:/gloomy I don't know what caused him to forget his identity or go crazy, but the Gray Hermit... he is my father!

NPC:He was watching over me the whole time and even though the Hermit might not have realized that I'm his daughter... deep down.... he must have known.

NPC:Using my father's notes, I will revert time and bring him back to me... don't try to stop me!
