[k] ?1:Um... ?2:...Thanks for saving me. ?! @Meltryllis ...So, have you gotten your bearings, [%1]? [k] @Meltryllis No need to thank me.[sr]I was just looking for a Master myself. [k] @Meltryllis I'm sure this is all very new and strange to you, but try to calm down. [k] @Meltryllis Come on. I'll explain the basics on the way. [k] ?1:Are you a Servant...? [charaFace A 1] @Meltryllis Yes. I may not be a Heroic Spirit, but I am a Servant. We'll come back to that later. [k] ?2:I don't recall telling you my name... [charaFace A 5] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 2] @Meltryllis I overheard it during your talk with BB. You could've figured that out for yourself if you'd tried. [k] @Meltryllis You're not very bright, are you?[sr]It's very annoying. [k] ?! [charaFace A 0] @Meltryllis ... [k] ?1:(...Is she mad at me?) ?2:(...Is she staring at me?) ?! [charaFace A 2] @Meltryllis No. I'm appraising you, to see if you're a puppet worthy of being my Master. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Meltryllis Hmm... Relax. You pass, if only barely. [k] @Meltryllis And don't worry. I won't dispose of you after I'm done using you either. [k] @Meltryllis I'll tell you what. If you manage to be a good Master for me right to the end, I'll definitely probably send you back to your own world. [k] @Meltryllis So if I were you, I'd do what I say for now. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Meltryllis If you have even a modicum of sense, you won't do anything foolish like end our contract. [k] @Meltryllis Especially since SE.RA.PH is brimming with enemies, like Suzuka and that attack program she had with her. [k] @Meltryllis A mere human like you can't survive here on your own.[sr]You need a Servant to keep you safe. [k] @Meltryllis From the looks of you, I'm guessing you're a failed Master who couldn't manage to form a contract with any decent Heroic Spirits? [k] @Meltryllis Then you should be overjoyed that a goddess like myself has deemed you worthy of her aid. [k] ?1:You're a goddess? [charaFace A 6] @Meltryllis Yes. Specifically, I'm a High Servant amalgamation of multiple goddesses. [k] @Meltryllis As a Master, I believe you're able to see a Servant's stats? [k] @Meltryllis Go ahead and check mine later.[sr]You'll be shocked when you see what I'm capable of. [k] ?2:(...Is this her idea of being nice?) [charaFace A 2] @Meltryllis Don't just stand there with that blank look on your face. Makes you an eyesore. [k] ?! [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_53 1.4] [charaFace A 6] @Meltryllis At any rate, let's push on. The front gate here may be completely digitized, but some of the other facilities are still intact. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_1 1.1] @Meltryllis Let's see... [k] @Meltryllis We can start by heading for the main oil deck cable area, and sneak into the main facility from there. [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.5] [charaFace A 0] @Meltryllis If you stay in digitized areas like this corridor, you'll eventually be disintegrated. [k] @Meltryllis After a few hours or so in a place like this, humans end up converted to data and imported to SE.RA.PH. Not a concern for me, though. [k] @Meltryllis Even Servants won't last more than a few days.[sr]BB may have said this is a game, but don't trust her. [k] @Meltryllis There is nothing fair or balanced about this game. Everyone will be converted into data well before SE.RA.PH reaches the bottom of the trench. [k] ?1:Wh-what do you mean!? ?2:But she said we'd reach there in a few hours... ?! [charaFace A 2] @Meltryllis In the real world, yes. But in SE.RA.PH, time passes a hundred times quicker than it does in reality... [k] @Meltryllis As such, one minute of real-world time is equivalent to one hundred minutes here. [k] @Meltryllis So yes, in reality, you will reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench in two and a half hours. [k] @Meltryllis But to us here in SE.RA.PH, that two and a half hours will seem like ten days. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Meltryllis What's more, while SE.RA.PH may be based off of Seraphix, it is actually far larger. [k] @Meltryllis Understand? You could use all the time remaining to you, and still not be able to conquer this place. [k] @Meltryllis On top of that, you'll only be able to walk around here for about two and a half hours without a break. [k] @Meltryllis Can't you tell that your body is already starting to be converted into data? [k] @Meltryllis In two and a half hours, you'll be fully imported into SE.RA.PH, so we need to find a safe area to serve as a base before that happens. [k] @Meltryllis ...Well? Are you following me so far? [k] ?1:(She lost me, but I guess I'll nod.) ?2:(I get that things are really bad, at least.) ?! [charaFace A 0] @Meltryllis ...Good. That saves us time. [k] @Meltryllis Let me do all the fighting. You just worry about reaching a safe area as soon as[line 2][se ad77][seVolume ad77 0 0.4][charaFace A 5]What? [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_1 0.7] ?1:Well, since you're helping me out... ?2:I just thought we could shake on it... ?! [charaFace A 0] @Meltryllis Shake on it...? [k] @Meltryllis Seriously? Did you not hear me say you don't have any time to spare? [k] ?1:...Sorry. ?2:If you don't want to, that's okay... ?! [charaFace A 5] @Meltryllis ... [k] @Meltryllis Hold it. Wait just a moment. [k] [charaShake A 0.1 2 2 0.4] Come...on...! [k] [messageOff] [charaShake A 0.1 2 2 0.7] [charaFace A 5] @Meltryllis Rrrgh! You think I can't do this? I can do this! [k] [messageOff] [charaShake A 0.1 2 2 0.4] [se ad7] [charaMoveScale mlt 1.2 0.4] [wait charaMoveScale] [charaFace A 2] @Meltryllis There, I raised my hand! That should do it, right!? [k] ?1:Of course. Thanks for helping me. ?! [se ad183] [bgm BGM_EVENT_53 2.1] [charaFace A 11] @Meltryllis Ah... [k] [charaFace A 4] @Meltryllis ... [k] [messageOff] [wt 2.0] [charaFace A 16] @Meltryllis ...Huh. That was easy. [k] ?1:Uh, what was? ?! [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_53 2.5] [charaFace A 6] @Meltryllis Nothing. I'm just shocked to find a human who would actually touch an Alter Ego. [k] [messageOff] [se ad7] [charaMoveScale mlt 1.0 0.4] [wait charaMoveScale] [charaFace A 0] @Meltryllis Come on, [%1]. You're about to enter a dangerous digital realm positively brimming with enemies. [k] @Meltryllis But don't worry, the least I can do is be your escort.[sr]Just try not to wander off, okay?
