Mandatory I do not own any Nintendo properties, yadda yadda...

Shortly after the war—and Robin's disappearance—Ylisse enters a golden age, and as accordingly, research and technology has entered an all time high. New inventions and innovations left and right, advancements in health, the arts, and outhouses (:p). Within the Steam-punk revolution and quickly followed, the secrets behind electricity and generating the miracle utility has been discovered. A vat of water, heated by coals, turns into steam, which in turn, rotates a turbine, which generates electricity. With that came a vast amounts of inventions in itself that could have only been dreamed off, the modern conveniences taken for granted we know of today. At the end of the day, this is really just an excuse plot to make this story occur in a modern society. Oh, and Robin was found in a park within the Southtown city limits.

"Heheh…" Robin faked with his meal at the round table, "Thanks for inviting us all to dinner…"

"Oh yeah, thank you!" Morgan blurt out, embarrassed.

"No problem." Sully replied to the nervous blond and his family, "Me and Stahl came up with this recipe yesterday."

Nowi apprehensively poked the plate of bear chops with her fork, as Nah sighed in embarrassment of her mother's immaturity, especially towards the meat, which is dry and tough as drywall. Probably tastes just as good too. At least the green beans were buttered. Stahl and Kjelle slowly began to chip away at the entree, and Robin's family followed suit, feigning pleasure over the bear meat.

"Yummy! really tender and moist!" Nowi jested, mouth partially full, eliciting a "My gods…" from Nah and a snicker from Morgan, originating from her sister's annoyance. The patriarch just kept to his thoughts, which included "Somebody call OSHA…"

"Glad ya liked it!" Sully replied back, falling for the lie, naive to the culinary disaster, "Worked on cooking in for quite a while. Maybe an hour or 2. Not to mention that bear gave a hell of a fight."

After their meal worthy of being called a national disaster, they said their farewells, and head out to the nighttime streets of Ylisstol, vibrant with neon lights illuminating every step with their characteristic vibrant colors.

"EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! That bear was totally gross! It was so tough! And Dry!" Nowi exclaimed.

"I know, right!" Morgan acknowiedged, "Does she think she can cook?!"

"Nah." Nah humorously replied.

"No way." Robin muttered, joining into the conversation.

"Huh, you call me sweetheart?" Nowi said as she thought Robin mentioned her name.

"No way." Robin replied again, thinking he's being a joker.

"Ah, okay!"

Don't call me a comic, Sam...

Guest 1: A friend from Miiverse & Steam wanted me to do something for Ch. 4. That's all I will say.
