You always reveal your[sr]True Name to strangers right away. [k] [charaFace F 5] @F:??? We talked about this.[sr]If you're introducing yourself, just state your class. [k] @F:??? Do you understand?[sr]Disclosing your True Name is like revealing your abilities. [k] @F:??? That's the reason we conceal[sr]our True Names during normal Holy Grail Wars. [k] [charaFace F 4] @F:??? And yet you give out your[sr]True Name at the drop of a hat... [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 2] @Mordred Oh, what's the difference? This is no longer[sr]the "Holy Grail War" that you spoke of. [k] @Mordred It's not the one with 7 Heroic Spirits, nor the one with[sr]14. On top of that, no Masters. Anyway, do you have any ciders? I am thirsty. [k] [charaFace F 0] @F:??? Wait, that's my favorite sofa...[sr]Ah well. Yes, I already got your ciders chilled and ready. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Mordred Right, we do have a refrigerator before it became widely[sr]used. Being a scholar sure is useful. [k] @F:??? Though I have chemicals that need to be stored at low[sr]temperatures. It's necessary for scholars. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Mordred Sure, sure. [k] [se bac23] [wait se bac23] [wt 0.5] [charaFace E 1] @Mordred (...Gulp, gulp gulp) Whew! That's the stuff.[sr]It really hits the spot coming out of that demonic fog! [k] [charaFace E 0] @Mordred Mmm[line 3] [k] @Mordred What are you two doing?[sr]Don't just stand there. Find a place to sit. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Mordred My home is your home.[sr]This is my temporary base. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Ah, right...[sr]Senpai, what should we do? Is it all right to sit? [k] ?1:I suppose... ?2:You with the glasses... Can I ask you something? ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @F:??? ...Haha. Well, all right, I don't mind.[sr]If Saber trusts you, I'm sure we're on the same side. [k] @F:??? I haven't introduced myself yet.[sr]I am Henry Jekyll. [k] [charaSet F 6007001 1 Jekyll] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0 1] @Jekyll I work in London as a scholar[line 3] A scientist.[sr]Though not officially a mage, I am familiar with elixirs. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll One day, all of a sudden,[sr]London was blanketed by this fog. It was a nightmare. [k] @Jekyll I was able to figure out that the fog contained[sr]magical energy, but was at a loss about what to do. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 2] @Mordred That's when we met and started working together. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Mordred He isn't very reliable as a mage,[sr]but comes in handy in his own way. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Mordred I provide the muscle.[sr]He investigates and analyzes. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Jekyll Exactly. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Um[line 3][sr]Excuse me. Mr. Henry Jekyll? [k] @Mash That name, um... [k] @Dr. Roman It's the same name as a character in a novel.[sr]Coincidence? Or perhaps he was the model for that character? [k] @Dr. Roman Mash, can you detect the presence of a Servant?[sr]I can't. You're inside, but you might as well be outside. [k] [charaFace A 14] @Mash I can't either, Doctor.[sr]I can't tell if this presence is human or not. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] @Jekyll I assure you, I am a genuine human.[sr]If it's a Servant you want, they're outside, investigating. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Jekyll And what were you talking about?[sr]A novel? [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash ...Yes. A book that was published a little before this era.[sr]The main character shares your name. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll I don't recall that.[sr]Strange, as I do read my share of novels... [k] @Jekyll The same name as the main character? Really?[sr]Hmm, I don't think I could forget that. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Jekyll Well, let's set that aside.[sr]It is a very common name, after all. [k] @Jekyll [line 3]As I was saying, I am Henry Jekyll.[sr]All I want to do is stop this blight on my hometown. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Jekyll But the more important matter at hand is you folks.[sr]You're slightly different from us, aren't you? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.7] [charaFadeout F 0.7] [messageOff] [wipeout leftToRight 0.7 3] [wait wipe] [wt 1] [scene 11000 0] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0 2] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0 0] [wipein leftToRight 0.7 3] [wait wipe] @Mordred [line 3]Hmm... Singularity, huh? [k] @Jekyll One of seven bolts that were driven into the world.[sr]And...the London of this era is that bolt. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Yes. We're searching for the Holy Grail,[sr]which we believe causes the Singularity. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Jekyll I understand your situation now, more or less. Now, let[sr]me tell you of the city's circumstances that we're aware of. [k] @Jekyll Each night for the past three nights,[sr]a lethal fog has descended upon London. [k] @Jekyll If you wear a mask in an area where the fog is thin,[sr]you probably won't die from it. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll But it's no good where it's thick. Normal creatures[sr]will be corrupted by the magical energy just by breathing it. [k] @Jekyll It probably depends on one's predisposition,[sr]but in the worst cases, death comes within an hour. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Jekyll I don't have the exact numbers, but according to[sr]my calculations, several hundred thousand have died. [k] @Jekyll There are areas that have become ghost towns already.[sr]The East End is just about wiped out. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll It's only a matter of time before the entire city[sr]is nothing but ruins. [k] @Jekyll It's all because of that fog. An extraordinary dense fog[sr]laced with potent magical energy[line 3] [k] [charaFace F 0] @Jekyll For now, we're[sr]calling it Demonic Fog. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash London, covered by a deadly fog... It's slightly similar[sr]to an incident that will occur in the 20th century. [k] @Dr. Roman Is it off by a century?[sr]That's probably what the Singularity is... But... [k] @Dr. Roman I'll look at the 20th century case, too. I had thought this[sr]was a one city deal, but it's getting pretty complicated. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] @Jekyll It's not just the Demonic Fog.[sr]You two should've engaged in combat as well. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll These past three days[line 3]on top of the Demonic Fog,[sr]London has been plagued with other types of threats. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Jekyll Those committing atrocities under cover of the fog.[sr]Automatas made of magecraft, killer homunculi... [k] @Jekyll Helter Skelter[line 3] [k] @Jekyll And there's a serial killer.[sr]The newspapers call them "Jack the Ripper." [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash The newspapers? [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll Yes, the newspapers were still being printed[sr]on the first day of the Demonic Fog... Though no longer. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Jekyll Understandably, it seems neither Scotland Yard[sr]nor the government has a handle on the situation. [k] @Jekyll Government functions are already starting to freeze up.[sr]External support is hindered by the fog, isolating London. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Jekyll It's already been three days.[sr]A cooped-up populace won't last long. [k] @Jekyll The Demonic Fog doesn't go indoors,[sr]but once food and water runs out, London will perish. [k] @Dr. Roman ...That's horrifying. The situation requires quick response.[sr]All right then, Mr. Jekyll and Mordred. [k] @Dr. Roman I have a proposal. We'd like you to help us search for[sr]the Holy Grail, the likely origin of this situation. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Jekyll Nothing would suit us better.[sr]Right, Saber? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0] @Mordred Fine with me.[sr]It seems like the best thing to do. [k] @Dr. Roman Good, this will truly help us![sr]In more ways than one! [k] @Dr. Roman So[line 2] Mash and [%1],[sr]lucky for us, this apartment is over a Leyline! [k] ?1:Excuse me? ?2:We can put a Terminal Point here. ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFadein C 0.1 0] @Fou Fouuu! [k] [charaFace A 13] @Mash Right, Senpai and Fou.[sr]It's possible to set up a Summoning Circle in this room. [k] @Mash Maybe Mr. Jekyll knew about the Leyline[sr]and intentionally built his apartment over it? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] @Jekyll Oh, no, I'm not a legitimate mage, so this isn't[sr]a magecraft workshop. It's just a regular room. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Jekyll At any rate, feel free to use it as you please.[sr]What are you going to do? [k] @Dr. Roman We'll put the Servant summoning circle over the Leyline[sr]to boost [%1] and Mash's combat abilities. [k] @Dr. Roman Servants summoned by the circle aren't always active,[sr]but they're a huge help during battles! [k] @Dr. Roman All right![sr]Let's start setting it up! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Roger.[sr]Creating Terminal Point[line 3] [k] [fadeout black 0.5] [messageOff] [wait fade] [charaFadeout A 0.4] [wt 0.5] [scene 10000 0] [charaTalk B] [communicationChara 98111500 1 5 0 0] [se ad13] [fadein black 0.5] [wait fade] @Da Vinci While they make the circle,[sr]I'll help you pass the time. [k] [communicationCharaFace 1] @Da Vinci Previously, I spoke about Servant class affinity,[sr]so I think I'll expand on that. [k] @Da Vinci Just as each Heroic Spirit has a story to tell, they have[sr]classifications that explain how they were born. [k] [communicationCharaFace 0] @Da Vinci There are three attributes: Heaven, Earth, and Human.[sr]Most Servants fall under one of these categories. [k] @Da Vinci Heaven includes Divine Spirits demoted to Heroic Spirits,[sr]children of gods, and embodiments of legends. [k] @Da Vinci Earth includes legendary heroes that took hold in the[sr]land, fairies, and Demonic Beasts. [k] [communicationCharaFace 1] @Da Vinci Human is for heroes and great people who actually[sr]existed. I'm included in this group, as a great artist who actually existed. [k] [communicationCharaFace 0] @Da Vinci Heaven wins over Earth, but loses to Human.[sr]Earth wins over Human, but loses to Heaven. [k] @Da Vinci And Human wins over Heaven, but loses to Earth. [k] [communicationCharaFace 4] @Da Vinci ...Humans believe in gods. However,[sr]gods that they stop believing in become "nonexistent." [k] @Da Vinci Native heroes and fairies have nothing to do with faith.[sr]However, they are no match for the gods that created them. [k] [communicationCharaFace 5] @Da Vinci ...And there are rare, special Heroic Spirits[sr]that do not belong in any of the three attributes. [k] @Da Vinci They are an exception of exceptions.[sr][line 2]The Heroic Spirits of the Star. [k] [communicationCharaFace 1] @Da Vinci They do not belong to Heaven, Earth, or Human.[sr]Yet they exist on earth under heaven, and are born of humans. [k] @Da Vinci Servants of the Star have nothing to do with Heaven,[sr]Earth, or Humans. After all, they're an exception. [k] [communicationCharaFace 0] @Da Vinci That said, these are nothing more than categories. [k] @Da Vinci The effects aren't as pronounced as Class affinity,[sr]so it's not worth integrating into a strategy. [k] [communicationCharaFace 1] @Da Vinci ...And that wraps up this session. Summoning circle[sr]setup complete. Good luck in this era, too!

[k] [charaFace E 0] @Mordred Oh, it's fine. Don't worry. If you guys hadn't come here,[sr]this work would've had to be all mine. [k] @Mordred If anything, I should be thanking you. Sorry for making[sr]you come along based on vague information. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash Oh, no, Mordred. Not at all... [k] @Dr. Roman Protecting one of Mr. Jekyll's other collaborators,[sr]the Swiss scholar Mr. Frankenstein, huh? [k] @Dr. Roman Seems he's been unreachable since this morning.[sr]Do you normally communicate with each other via radio? [k] [charaFace E 4] @Mordred Jekyll does. He calls it his information network.[sr]I don't really understand it. [k] @Mordred He has collaborators all over the city[sr]and chats with them on the radio every day. [k] [charaFace E 5] @Mordred Old man Victor[sr]was safe until yesterday at least. [k] @Dr. Roman Victor Frankenstein, huh... Just when we thought[sr]it's another character from a novel, it turns out to be his "relative." [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash The grandchild of the mage that became the model[sr]character in the novel, was what Mr. Jekyll mentioned. [k] @Mash Unexpected, indeed.[sr]In Mary Shelly's novel... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash Dr. Frankenstein was a scientist. But the person[sr]he was modeled after was a real-life mage. [k] [charaFace A 13] @Mash It brings to mind that idiom[sr]about how "truth is stranger than fiction". [k] ?1:Is it that strange? ?2:Are scientists and mages really that different? ?! [charaFace A 0] @Mash Yes. Strictly speaking,[sr]magecraft and science are contrary to each other. [k] @Mash Chaldea's existence is an extreme exception, and if you[sr]think about it, both globally and historically[line 3] [k] @Dr. Roman Oh yes, but everything has an exception. In a certain era,[sr]science and magecraft virtually meant the same thing. [k] @Dr. Roman For example, even if you set aside ancient times,[sr]some will say alchemy is the origin of chemistry. [k] @Dr. Roman There are numerous examples of mages who are known[sr]as renowned scientists, chemists, and scholars. [k] @Dr. Roman You know,[sr]Da Vinci is one such example. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash Ah[line 3] [k] @Da Vinci Mmm. You called? [k] @Da Vinci Oh, you're talking about science and magecraft.[sr]I'm no help there. After all... [k] @Da Vinci I'm almighty.[sr]You can't compare me to anyone. Too bad. Bye. [k] [se ad31] [wt 1] [seStop ad31 0] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Ah! We lost the connection. [k] ?1:What's with her, anyway? ?2:Da Vinci is way too carefree... ?! [charaFace A 11] @Mash I know... [k] [charaFace E 5] @Mordred We're near Soho.[sr]Keep your guard up now. They'll be here soon. [k] @Mordred The edge of the City Area where Jekyll's apartment is[sr]seems relatively peaceful in comparison. [k] [charaFace E 4] @Mordred This area is no good.[sr]We're in their territory. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 0.4] [bgm BGM_EVENT_3 0.1] @Dr. Roman So it appears. I'm picking up multiple motion signals.[sr]It'll be a fight, so watch out! [k] [charaFace A 2] @Mash Right.
