in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks
Latisha is proud of the Bismarck's fine food and service, so being cheated hurts twice as much. Latisha asks you to take R'sushmo
's drawing of the man to the Yellowjackets (the city guard).
A comic Yellowjacket case for Latisha of the Bismarck (from Duty Calls).
needs someone to report a bilking patron. wants you to report the incident to the Yellowjackets. First, speak with R'sushmo and receive her sketch of the criminal. entrusts you with her rendition of the offender. Deliver it to Godebert
at the Coral Tower. bids you tell R'sushmo to present herself at the Coral Tower for questioning. cannot comprehend what the problem is with her handiwork. You do not have the heart to tell her the truth.Next in the play order: Lost and Found. Ginnade
has made a list of missing people from citizens' reports and asks you to take it to N'delika
, a colleague in Bulwark Hall.
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
Grrr... I poured my heart and soul into that grilled dodo... If I ever get my hands on that scoundrel, I'll grind his bones to make my bread!
R'sushmo's threat quotes the giant's 'Fee-fi-fo-fum' rhyme ('I'll grind his bones to make my bread'). The rhyme comes from the English Jack tales. It is best known from Jack and the Beanstalk.
Here it is, my rendition of the criminal! Please deliver it to Godebert
The Yellowjacket's opinion of the 'rendition' of the culprit is blunt. It looks like the front of a ship. The journal adds that you don't have the heart to tell the artist.
But what more information does he want that my drawing doesn't already provide!? Isn't a picture supposed to paint a thousand words!?
The title comes from the saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. R'sushmo answers with 'paint a thousand words' when the Yellowjackets reject her useless sketch.
Talk to R'sushmo outside the quest. The Bismarck is named after a whale from legend that ate everything in its path. The restaurant hopes its diners will do the same. This one ate and ran.
Godebert explains that the Yellowjackets used to be part of the Knights of the Barracuda. But during the Calamity, they were swallowed up by the Maelstrom.
Even the item text doubts the sketch. It is 'a drawing of a man(?)'. It was put together from descriptions by people who saw 'his crimes most heinous'.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
Latisha, at the Bismarck restaurant, is upset. A first-time patron has just left without paying his bill.
Latisha is proud of the Bismarck's fine food and service, so being cheated hurts twice as much. Latisha asks you to take R'sushmo's drawing of the man to the Yellowjackets (the city guard).
R'sushmo is the Bismarck cook who made the runaway patron's meal. She is upset and is finishing a drawing of him.
R'sushmo is furious: she put her heart into the grilled dodo (a bird). Like the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk, she threatens to grind his bones for bread. She cannot see why Godebert wants to question her; a picture should paint a thousand words.
Godebert is a Yellowjacket (city guard) at the Coral Tower. R'sushmo trusts him to deal with the runaway patron.
Godebert wants justice, but says the sketch looks more like the front of a ship than a face. He asks R'sushmo to come in for questioning. He explains the Yellowjackets were once part of the Knights of the Barracuda, until the Maelstrom took them in.
The game was written in Japanese and rewritten, not just translated, for each language. Here is what the other versions say, next to the English.
| Japanese | とっておきの人相がき ‘A prized wanted-poster sketch’ |
|---|---|
| French | Un portrait fidèle ‘A faithful portrait’ |
| German | Gute Köche zeichnen schlecht ‘Good cooks draw badly’ |
We spare no effort to ensure that all our patrons enjoy the finest food and hospitality. And so it is doubly hurtful when someone decides to leave without settling the bill. Nary a bell ago, a first-time patron did just that.
Comme vous le savez sûrement, au Bismarck, nous mettons les petits plats dans les grands pour satisfaire nos clients, mais il nous arrive parfois de tomber sur des gens sans scrupules.
‘As you surely know, here at the Bismarck we pull out all the stops to please our customers, but now and then we run into unscrupulous people.’
Latisha uses the idiom for going all out to feed guests.
Grrr... I poured my heart and soul into that grilled dodo... If I ever get my hands on that scoundrel, I'll grind his bones to make my bread!
Latisha vous a rrraconté ?
‘Latisha told you?’
R'sushmo rolls her r's in everyday words. The English R'sushmo only growls 'Grrr' once.
Grrr... I poured my heart and soul into that grilled dodo... If I ever get my hands on that scoundrel, I'll grind his bones to make my bread!
Moi, ça m'écœure de voir qu'il y a des gens assez malhonnêtes pour ne pas payer les plats que nous préparons avec tant d'attention !
‘Me, it sickens me to see that there are people dishonest enough not to pay for the dishes we prepare with such care!’
Da rackert man sich ab, um die besten Zutaten zu finden, und feilt tagelang an einem Rezept, und was ist der Dank?
‘You slave away to find the best ingredients and polish a recipe for days, and what is the thanks?’
私たちが愛情込めて作った料理を食い逃げするなんて、許せません！
‘Running off without paying for food we made with love, that's unforgivable!’
English has her threaten to grind his bones for bread; French has her say it sickens her.
English has her threaten to grind his bones for bread; German has her ask bitterly what thanks she gets.
English has her threaten to grind his bones for bread; Japanese has her just call it unforgivable.
Er...what in the seven hells is this supposed to be? It looks more like the prow of a ship than a man's face!
Bien, nous allons faire de notre mieux pour attraper ce filou.
‘Well, we're going to do our best to catch this rogue.’
A-Also, Phantombilder sind ja wirklich wichtig, damit wir Gelbjacken unsere Arbeit verrichten können.
‘W-well, composite sketches really are important so that we Yellowjackets can do our work.’
こ、この人相書きは……通報があった以上、全力は尽くそう。
‘Th-this sketch is... Since a report has been made, we shall do our utmost.’
English jokes the sketch looks like a ship's prow, not a face; French just promises to do their best.

Look, we would like nothing more than to bring the offender to justice─'tis our duty, after all. However, we will need a little bit more to go on than this piece of...art.
Das kann ja jeder sein! Man erkennt nicht einmal, ob es sich um einen Lalafell oder einen Roegadyn handelt!
‘That could be anyone! You can't even tell whether it is a Lalafell or a Roegadyn!’
Difficile de dire s'il s'agit d'un Hyurois, d'un Lalafell ou même d'un Roegadyn...
‘Hard to say whether it is a Hyur, a Lalafell or even a Roegadyn...’
Here too, he is lost. It is a size joke: one race is tiny, the other huge.
French jokes that the sketch does not even show the man's race; English just sneers at the 'art'.
Ah, so you've spoken with Godebert? Bwahahaha! Within the bell, the Yellowjackets will have that swindling scoundrel locked in a dungeon cell, and then I'll take my filleting knife and─
Ich bin nämlich nicht nur eine begnadete Köchin, sondern auch eine talentierte Zeichnerin!
‘You see, I'm not only a gifted cook, but also a talented artist!’
私、料理の次に絵が得意だったんですよ！
‘Me, I was always good at drawing, second only to cooking!’
English ends with her reaching for a filleting knife; German ends with her boasting she is a talented artist too.
English ends with her reaching for a filleting knife; Japanese ends with her boasting drawing is her second talent.
But what more information does he want that my drawing doesn't already provide!? Isn't a picture supposed to paint a thousand words!?
私が描いた傑作の人相書きさえあれば、ほかの情報なんて不要だと思うのですが……。
‘With my masterpiece of a wanted poster, I'd have thought no other information was needed...’
The title is ironic. R'sushmo calls her useless sketch a masterpiece and drawing her best skill after cooking.
But what more information does he want that my drawing doesn't already provide!? Isn't a picture supposed to paint a thousand words!?
Ah, je sais ! Je suis douée pour le dessin, mais en fait, ma spécialité, c'est la caricature. Hé hé hé...
‘Ah, I know! I'm good at drawing, but actually, my speciality is caricature. Heh heh heh...’
R'sushmo sees the problem herself: she draws well, but only cartoons. The English R'sushmo can't see what is wrong.

Na gut, wenn es der Verfolgung des Täters dienlich ist ...
‘Oh well, if it helps the pursuit of the culprit ...’
English ends on an indignant saying about a picture's thousand words; German has her grudgingly agree if it helps.

‘As you surely know, here at the Bismarck we pull out all the stops to please our customers, but now and then we run into unscrupulous people.’
Latisha uses the idiom for going all out to feed guests.
R'sushmo is the one who lovingly prepared the man's meal. She is quite upset by the whole affair, and has taken it upon herself to draw an illustration of the offender. Might I trouble you to deliver it to the Yellowjackets on our behalf? R'sushmo should be done adding the finishing touches by now.
Grrr... I poured my heart and soul into that grilled dodo... If I ever get my hands on that scoundrel, I'll grind his bones to make my bread!
