Cherished Memories

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* At the Crystalline Mean, you come upon an Allagan-esque node behaving erratically. Upon inspection, the machine mutters some curious words before hovering off. You decide to keep an eye on it lest it cause trouble for civilians.
* After a brief pursuit, you find the node hassling a civilian who turns out to be its owner. With a well-placed slap, the woman fixes the node, which she affectionately calls Noddy, before introducing herself as Thiuna, a restorer of the Facet of Crafting and proprietor of Cherished Memories. Having explained that her focus is on items of sentimental value, Thiuna proposes a business arrangement. In order to hone her techniques, she asks you to supply the materials she needs, and you are happy to oblige. Thiuna then returns to her workshop at the Crystalline Mean and bids you join her when you are ready to begin.
* At her workshop, which is for now simply borrowed space, Thiuna assigns you your first task─preparing the canvas repair material for a damaged painting. When the material is ready, Thiuna will use it to restore the artwork, and in so doing restore a vision of the lost village it depicts.
==Objectives==
* Search for troubled civilians.
* Speak with Thiuna.

Recordsystem 	<beep> Error. Aether blockage detected.
Recordsystem 	Firm blow required. <buzz> Hit me. Hit me.
Recordsystem 	Seek Thiuna. Must seek Thiuna. <buzz>
 	
Recordsystem 	Help me, Thiuna. Help me. <buzz>
 	
Thiuna 	Y-Yes! Greetings! Do you require something restored?
Thiuna 	...Apparently not.
Thiuna 	At any rate, could you give me a moment? Noddy here is clamoring for attention...
Recordsystem 	Help me, Thiuna. Firm blow required. Hit me. Hit me.
Thiuna 	Don't tell me you've gotten your aether blocked again?
Thiuna 	<sigh> Very well. I'll take care of it.
Thiuna 	Oh, versed in such machines, are you? Well, I appreciate the advice, but rest assured I have the situation well in hand. This happens all the time.
Thiuna 	Yah!
Recordsystem 	<beep> Your node has encountered a problem and needs to restart. Collecting error information and restarting.
Recordsystem 	<blip> <bloop> Node restart complete. Logging in as Thiuna. <buzzzzzz> More, Thiuna. Hit me more.
Thiuna 	You know, sometimes I think you actually enjoy this. And I still have no idea where you learned to speak like that...
Thiuna 	Now then, you were wanting something?
...Hmmm, I don't believe I've seen you before. I take it you're new to the Crystarium?
Thiuna 	Ah, I remember now! You're the master artisan who hails from the same land as the Exarch! Er...what was your name again?
Thiuna 	Yes, that's right─[Player Name]! It's a pleasure to meet a fellow crafter from a faraway place.
Thiuna 	I'm Thiuna, a restorer of the Facet of Crafting and the proprietor of Cherished Memories. For my work, I've had to train in a variety of trades, including as an /an /an /an /an /a like yourself.
Thiuna 	While there are restorers aside from me, my workshop specializes in artworks and traditional handicrafts. Items with sentimental rather than practical value, in other words.
Thiuna 	Given the state of the world, my choice of focus is frowned upon by some, but I knew it was what I wanted to do.
Thiuna 	And so I opened Cherished Memories with Noddy here as my assistant.
Thiuna 	Adorable, isn't it? It's actually a relic from the tower, but it had broken down. I couldn't bear to see it lying there discarded, so I restored it as best I could. It's been with me ever since.
Recordsystem 	<blip> Am I a good node?
Thiuna 	Yes, you are! No one keeps records like you, Noddy!
Thiuna 	Now, I realize we've scarcely met...
Thiuna 	But I'd like to propose a little business arrangement.
Thiuna 	You see, despite the work that I profess to do, I'm actually only any good at alchemy, my original field. There's still much that I have to learn, and I'm hoping I could learn from an accomplished such as you.
Thiuna 	I don't ask that you teach me─only that you craft the materials I need. By using these materials in my work, I can hone my techniques while getting the job done besides. Of course, I'll make sure you're suitably compensated.
Thiuna 	Moreover, every bit that I learn from you, I promise to pass on to my fellow crafters. That way, your knowledge may come to serve all the peoples of Norvrandt.
Thiuna 	So, what say you? Can I rely on your help?
Recordsystem 	Thiuna is still a work in progress. Please knock her into shape. Bish. Bash. <buzzzzzz>
Thiuna 	I'm in your debt! When you're ready to begin, please come and see me at the Mean.
 	
Thiuna 	My thanks for coming, [Player Name]. May our collaboration bear much fruit!
Recordsystem 	Hear, hear.
Thiuna 	So, this is Cherished Memories. Well, it is when I'm here, at any rate. I've neither the funds nor reputation to have my own place, so I'm making use of the Mean's facilities.
Thiuna 	Without further ado, then, let's assign you your first task. Noddy, if you'd be so kind?
Recordsystem 	<blip> The item to be restored is a painting of Dampsole, a village in Lakeland destroyed by sin eaters approximately ninety years ago. The client is descended from the denizens of said village.
Thiuna 	So, by restoring the painting, we aim to restore a vision of the village as it once was.
Thiuna 	With my knowledge of alchemy, I've been able to remove the stains, but the canvas itself is in appalling condition. While the client didn't go into detail, if I didn't know better, I'd say it was intentionally damaged.
Thiuna 	Now, like most paintings originating in Lakeland, this one uses a special canvas resistant to humidity. In order to restore it, we'll need a material to match. Can you prepare this for us?
Thiuna 	Thank you! Once the material is ready, I'll begin work on the restoration!
Recordsystem 	<blip> Your personal information has been updated. You are now officially an artisan of Cherished Memories. Please knock Thiuna into shape. Bish. Bash. <buzzzzzz>
