It was Viy! [k] [messageShakeStop] [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia Well, I've learned my lesson. From now on, I'll pay much closer attention when adjusting the simulator's settings. [k] @Anastasia Now come on, let's get out of here.[sr]I can't stand this heat for a moment longer. [k] ?1:Fine by me. ?2:Okay, let's go ahead and shut the simulator down then. ?!

[charaFace A 4] @Anastasia Ghhh... But not moving makes the heat worse, too... [k] @Anastasia I know. Maybe some light conversation[sr]will serve as a distraction. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia Let's see, what to talk about...[bgm BGM_EVENT_94 1.4 0.6][sr]Say, how much do you know about me, anyway? [k] ?1:A little something, I'd say... [charaFace A 1] @Anastasia I see. Well, I'm happy to hear you've done your homework. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia In that case, I'll skip ahead a bit. [k] [branch sel01b] ?2:Nada. [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia Oh my. Well, that won't do at all. [k] @Anastasia Every good Master should know at least a little something about their Servants. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Anastasia Very well then. [k] @Anastasia In that case, I will tell you about my background myself. [k] @Anastasia ...But I'll keep it to under five minutes,[sr]since it's so unbearably hot. [k] [branch sel01a] ?! [label sel01a] ?1:That's like nothing! [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia What do you expect?[sr]I already mentioned the unbearable heat. [k] @Anastasia Now then. To begin, I was born into the title of Grand Duchess of the Romanov Dynasty...

[k] [charaFace A 5] @Anastasia Oh yes, it was dreadful. [bgm BGM_EVENT_11 0.1]Growing up, I never[sr]expected I would die in such a cruel manner. [k] @Anastasia Even now, I will never forget this grudge. If those soldiers' graves were within walking distance, I would march right over there, spit on them, and rub it into the dirt. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia And yet, strangely enough... [k] @Anastasia Here in Chaldea, it all seems like[sr]a far-off, vaguely nostalgic dream. [k] ?1:Does that mean you'd be glad to see humanity die off? [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia Ulp. [k] @Anastasia Well, um... Not always, but...[sr]Maybe sometimes... [k] ?2:Is that a bad thing? [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia Good question... [k] @Anastasia I would say yes, but there is also a part of me that's glad for it...because it makes me feel like I'm practically a normal person. [k] ?! [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia Hmm... [k] @Anastasia I suppose, deep down, I still believe[sr]people are fundamentally good. [k] @Anastasia Not people like those barbaric soldiers, of course,[sr]but people like my family. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia ...Which isn't to say I'm not aware that, historically speaking, my family did some rather dreadful things, too. [k] @Anastasia I know they lived, and grew up, and learned, and ate, and lived their lives like any other person would. [k] @Anastasia Or at least, I thought I did. [k] @Anastasia I'm still not sure if our people starving to death was my fault or my father's fault. [k] @Anastasia Or perhaps it was entirely Father and the government officials who swore loyalty to him who were to blame. [k] @Anastasia Maybe the things they did were simply[sr]so terrible that my family... [k] @Anastasia ...Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and myself... [k] @Anastasia ...all deserved to be hacked to pieces and dissolved in sulfuric acid. [k] ?1:I don't[line 2] ?! @Anastasia ...(Sigh) [k] [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up such unpleasant memories. [k] @Anastasia And besides, I know I will never find answers to those questions, no matter how long I look. [k] @Anastasia I just have to keep agonizing over them and looking back on them forever. [k] @Anastasia It's not right for me to expect you to answer them for me, Master. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia Oh my, this won't do at all. If I don't snap out of it, I'm liable to end up being summoned as an Avenger. [k] ?1:Yeah... I'd really prefer if that didn't happen. ?! [charaFace A 1] @Anastasia Is that so? ...Hehe.[sr]All right, Master, if you insist. [k] @Anastasia Let's see... I believe this is how you make an unbreakable promise in your homeland, yes? [k] @Anastasia I swear that I will never become an Avenger.[sr]Pinky promise.

[k] [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia ...You know, I thought this would be a more lighthearted endeavor. I didn't realize quite how morbid it was until we got to the end. [k] @Anastasia Though admittedly, I'm still not sure how crossing one's heart could actually bring about one's death. [k] ?1:And I'm still not sure how one would actually[csr]go about crossing a heart at all. @Anastasia Good point. [k] ?2:I'd just as soon not find out... @Anastasia True. Some mysteries are better left unsolved. [k] ?!

Hopefully, it's a sign that we'll get to leave soon. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia I suppose this would never have happened in the first place if I hadn't encouraged Viy to play with the simulator's settings... [k] @Anastasia Then again, who's to say it wouldn't have? [k] [charaFace A 1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_7 0.1] @Anastasia Oh my. From the look on your face, I take it you don't believe it could have happened any other way? [k] @Anastasia Well, say what you will; my Viy is still adorable.[sr]Especially his eyes when he has them both wide open. [k] @Anastasia Though I know some people have complained that he's scary, or shows up in their nightmares... [k] @Anastasia ...or that they'd wish he'd stop glomming on to the backs of their heads. [k] ?1:Me! I'M “some people”! ?! [charaFace A 6] @Anastasia Hehehe, yes, I suppose you are, aren't you?

[k] [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia And in that case, does that mean I've become a wise parsley, able to live off nothing but the faintest drops of dew?

[k] [charaFace A 2] @Anastasia Why can't you all keep things simple and just speak Russian like civilized folk!? [k] ?1:From my perspective, I could say the same to you! ?2:Right back at you, only in reverse! ?! [charaFace A 4] @Anastasia ...Fair enough. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Anastasia On a different subject, I trust you're[sr]familiar with Jason the hero, yes? [k] [charaFace A 1] @Anastasia And you're also familiar with the series of horror films starring an antagonist by the same name? [k] @Anastasia Well, can you even imagine our Jason running around with a shaved head and a hockey mask in place of that other Jason? [k] [charaFace A 6] @Anastasia I certainly can't. The very idea of it[sr]gives me a huge case of the giggles. [k] @Anastasia I'm sure our Jason wouldn't be very happy to hear that...
