Dialogue:

Pre goal:
Ivy: Ruler, I'm in dire need of assistance.
Ruler: Oh no, what's wrong, Ivy?
Ivy: I've got a terrible craving for something sweet. Like something really, really sweet.
Ruler: Oh, well, can I interest you in a Sweet Feast?
Ivy: No, ruler, that's not sweet enough! I need Candied Skunkupie!
Ruler: Candied... Skunkupie?! Well... I guess I can probably help you with that.
Ivy: That's sweet of you, but no. For this recipe, I need a professional! Could you see if you might be able to find my friend Swirlyssa? She's a sweet faerie... I'm sure she'd be able to help me soothe my aching sweet tooth!

Goal 1:
Ivy: Swirlyssa! You came!
Swirlyssa: Well, of course I'm gonna come when a honey bun like you needs me!
Ivy: Swirlyssa and I go way back. We learned how to bake pies together, remember?
Swirlyssa: How could I forget? I learned the back double crossover crust fold from you!
Ruler: Do you like skunkupines in your pie, too?
Swirlyssa: Oh no, sugar. No offense to Ivy intended, of course, but I would never. There's nothing in this world that could make a skunkupine sweet enough for me. For me, I like to throw parties for people, and I love to cook for them! Ivy tells me you're a gifted chef in your own right.
Ruler: Oh, me? No, I mean, I'm not trained or anything... I learned everything when I got here!
Ivy: Don't be modest, Ruler! You're awesome. Now come on, show Swirlyssa what you can make!

Goal 2:
Swirlyssa: The Sweet Feast you made was just amazing! The whipped cream was inspired! The chocolate sauce, divine. I haven't seen such a promising young chef since... well, since I met Ivy, I suppose. What do you say about a little challenge, sugar?
Ruler: A challenge?
Swirlyssa: Yes indeed! I love a challenge! In fact, I think I presented young Ivy with a similar challenge after we first met.
Ivy: That was your first taste of Skunkupine, wasn't it?
Swirlyssa: Sadly, yes... First and last, though I'll never forget that taste. Though I was completely floored, simply speechless at your presentation! No one asked you perform, but you took it upon yourself to really wow me.
Ivy: I did a twenty minute dance solo in the middle of it... I think I still remember those moves!
Swirlyssa: You need not worry about any sort of performance, Ruler. Just cook me up some of your realm's sweet offerings. I wanna see a few of the same dish. Taste is important, of course, but I care more than that you show me high quality dishes. A good chef like you should be able to make quick work of my requests.

Goal 3:
Swirlyssa: Well... I must say... This is simply the most perfect challenge results I've ever seen! Each dish is perfection, all the same flawless presentation. I don't even need to taste it! I can just sense how good it is.
Ruler: you don't want to taste it? But then, why have me make all this food?
Swirlyssa: Why, for a celebration, of course! We're celebrating you! Of course, I did want to see how you would do with multiple dishes. That is the true measure of a good Ruler! You've got to provide for your people, and it always must be good! You can't cut corners. But I can tell you care about every single person in this realm. So I'm giving the food you made away to the people of this realm as a celebration! That's why I've got a little gift... It's just for you!

Q: did anyone by chance happen to take a screen shot of goal 1? I seem to have missed that one...

I'm holding out finishing this goal until I need to endlessly chop something, as 10 minutes of unlimited energy is quite a long time. Might wait for the next monster hunt perhaps.

Here's the pic of goal 1:

And I think you must've missed it, but we there was a bit of dialogue with Ivy before she asked us to find Swirlyssa for her.

Ivy: Ruler, I'm in dire need of assistance.
Ruler: Oh no, what's wrong, Ivy?
Ivy: I've got a terrible craving for something sweet. Like something really, really sweet.
Ruler: Oh, well, can I interest you in a Sweet Feast?
Ivy: No, ruler, that's not sweet enough! I need Candied Skunkupie!
Ruler: Candied... Skunkupie?! Well... I guess I can probably help you with that.
Ivy: That's sweet of you, but no. For this recipe, I need a professional! Could you see if you might be able to find my friend Swirlyssa? She's a sweet faerie... I'm sure she'd be able to help me soothe my aching sweet tooth!

I had to stop doing goals bc of the game would only show 1 line of dialogue then go straight to the goal screen. I've added the info you've provided and I can't thank you enough! I really appreciated you writing that for me. :love_heart:
