Well, we artisans do need to be able to complete surprise rush orders in a single day. [k] @Habetrot Me, I can make a new bridal dress in the time it takes the sun to set and rise again. That's why they call me Habbycat the Speedster. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 2] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Faerie Guard I-I can't believe what I just saw, either. No wonder Lord Boggart holds you in such high regard. [k] [charaFace I 0] @Faerie Guard Did the Wing clan make that spool of yours? [k] @Faerie Guard But, wait. Besides Murian, the Wing clan died out twelve-hundred years ago... [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 7] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Habetrot Murian? As in, Gamemaster Murian? [k] @Habetrot Huh, I didn't know she was still alive. Or maybe she passed the name on to her daughter. [k] [charaFace G 10] @Habetrot Well, whatever. Now that we've taken care of the mors, how're you gonna show your appreciation? [k] @Habetrot You gonna treat us to the kind of yummy lunch we deserve? [k] @Habetrot I know we're not allowed to enjoy eating when Boggart's around, but that won't be a problem in the castle town. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 1] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Faerie Guard Of course! I've been wanting to introduce Lady Mash to everyone, anyway! [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 6] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @H:Mash Are you sure that's a good idea? [k] @H:Mash Lord Boggart did say I wasn't supposed to stand out... [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Habetrot Ah, it'll be fine. He won't be[sr]back until nighttime, anyway! [k] [charaFace G 7] @Habetrot It was a big slog coming all this way, right?[sr]So it's only right we make the most of it. [k] @Habetrot And the faeries of Sheffield love human culture, so they're not prejudiced against humans at all. [k] [charaFace G 1] @Habetrot Trust me, they're gonna love you down at the pub. They'll be happy, you'll be happy, and I'll be happy! [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 1] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Faerie Guard Exactly. Besides, Lord Boggart prohibits[sr]us from treating humans like slaves. [k] @Faerie Guard He says it's only fair, since we've all been banished. So we really are equals here. [k] @Faerie Guard Honestly, I don't know what we[sr]would do without our humans. [k] @Faerie Guard In fact, there's one human woman in particular I'd like to propose to, myself... [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 3] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Habetrot Huh, is that so? I guess Sheffield really is all about freedom then. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Habetrot And here I thought he was just talking big about not doing things like Queen Morgan. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 4] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @H:Mash ...Um, I'm sorry, you said you were all banished? [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Faerie Guard Oh, you mean you didn't know? This place used to be a ghost town up until a hundred years ago. [k] @Faerie Guard It wasn't until Lord Boggart and the rest of us rebuilt it that Sheffield became what it is today. [k] @Faerie Guard We used to all live in Norwich, at least until its lord, Spriggan, had us all banished. [k] @Faerie Guard We wandered around for a long time with nowhere to go until we ended up here. [k] @Faerie Guard ...Which is why we can't just abandon Norwich now. [k] @Faerie Guard We might have been banished from it,[sr]but it's still our hometown. [k] @Faerie Guard So if the queen isn't going to do anything about the calamity pool building up there, we will. [k] @Faerie Guard That's why Lord Boggart's is revolting against her. He wants to save Norwich before it's too late.

[k] [charaFace B 0] @Boggart And yes, of course the view here is nice. It's so I can see any enemy forces that attempt to invade my territory. [k] @Boggart Though I suspect you and I are using[sr]the term “nice” very differently. [k] @Boggart This was a battlefield. In fact, the bloodstains have only recently faded. [k] [charaFace A 8] @Mash ...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Not when I still don't know anything about this town. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Boggart ... [k] @Boggart ...Does this... [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Yes? Did you say something, Lord Boggart? [k] [charaFace B 3] @Boggart ... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Boggart ...Never mind. Does this scenery truly seem nice to you?

[k] @Mash The people I've met in the other towns...[sr]The people of Sheffield... Everyone. [k] @Mash I don't know what it is that's causing their suffering... But I do know that, in spite of it... [k] [charaFace A 1] @Mash They all consider this their home. That they want to keep living here, even if it's hard. [k] @Mash If so many people still love Britain, I can't imagine it could be such an awful place. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-50] @Boggart ...

Good guys don't demand people call them “Lord”! [k] [charaFace A 3] @Mash Y-you think so? I thought that was just to keep his reputation intact. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Mash After all, he looked very unhappy when I called him “Lord” before... [k] [charaFace G 5] @Habetrot What!? That's even worse! Does that lionhead actually think he's some devoted husband or something!? [k] @Habetrot You're only married on paper! He's got no right to go around tricking my bride like that!

[k] @Habetrot No wonder you're too much for Boggart to handle! Especially since he's hopeless against anyone who doesn't detest him! [k] @Habetrot You're practically his natural enemy! Man, Boggart's predecessor must've gotten up to some real bad stuff for him to be in this predicament! [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Huh? What do you mean, he's hopeless against anyone who doesn't detest him? [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 7] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Habetrot Oh, that? It's all about faeries' most fundamental desires and unique traits. [k] @Habetrot Humans' emotions change all the time. One moment they'll want to be loved, the next, hated... [k] @Habetrot Or they'll want to protect someone one moment, then hurt them the next. But faeries' desires are much less...mutable. [k] @Habetrot In Boggart's case, he uses his rational mind to keep his violent impulses in check... [k] @Habetrot So he can't make full use of his abilities unless he's both hating and hated by someone. [k] [charaFace G 6] @Habetrot Basically, thanks to who you are, it's impossible for him to be too aggressive.

[k] @Mash I don't remember anything about my past. I didn't even know my name until recently. [k] @Mash Before I came here... No, before Rob, Wag, and Winky began calling me the Child of Prophecy... [k] @Mash I had no idea what I should do, or even what I was supposed to do. [k] @Mash No, for that matter... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.5] @Mash Did I even have a self before I lost my memories?

[k] @Mash There's something missing in my heart...like there is a hole right through it. [k] @Mash All the faeries I've met have a purpose[line 2]something they intrinsically seek. [k] @Mash Some of them help others for money.[sr]Some of them hurt others for money. [k] @Mash But, I don't have anything like that... [k] @Mash Whenever I try to help someone, I always end up realizing the same thing. [k] @Mash What is it I want right now? What is it that drove me to help them? [k] @Mash I don't know...and it makes me feel very empty inside. [k] @Mash I have a heart, so I know I can't get away with this forever. [k] @Mash I don't think I was even aware of that emptiness before I lost my memories...but now, I can't help but notice it. [k] @Mash After all, I don't have any memories left to cover it up. [k] @Mash Something was missing in me.[sr]No, that's not right... [k] @Mash There's a gap in me that's long been ready to receive...something, but I refused to try and fill it.
