[k] @Astraea These statues have simply been blessed to inspire anyone who looks upon them to train their bodies to physical perfection. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 13] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Jason So they ARE cursed!

[k] @Astraea I'm sure there must be many other beautiful bodies out there just waiting to be gazed upon. [k] ?! [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Mash Is there a reason you have all these statues here, Astraea? They're all very elaborately made. [k] @Mash Then again, maybe it's more accurate to say I can really feel the dedication that went into them. Did you make them yourself? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Astraea Dedication, huh? ...I-I see.[sr]So THAT is how they appear to you then. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Jason Hmm? I wouldn't say that.

[k] @Astraea I would advise you to watch your words as though your life depended on your discretion, or the next thing to slip may just be my bare knuckles. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Astraea As for the statues... [k] @Astraea ...they were sculpted by a Servant who stayed at this temple for a while. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.4 1] [wt 1.0] @Astraea “Been dealt a bad hand, being a goddess of the scales, seein' as how you can't pick a side.” [k] @Astraea “I mean, you can't even buddy up with anyone like that, eh? Oh, guess that's why this place's so bleak, huh.” [k] @Astraea “Bit of a waste for such a beautiful goddess.[sr]...All right, made up my mind.” [k] @Astraea “I'm gonna make a statue of you myself. Consider it payment for letting me stay here for the night.” [k] @Astraea “What's that? You like it?[sr]You wanna see even more of the like?” [k] @Astraea “If that's what'll cheer you up, then that's what you'll get. I'm still a businessman at heart, after all. Whatever the customer orders, that's what I deliver.” [k] @Astraea “That said, the whole reason I'm here is 'cause I've got a job to do.” [k] @Astraea “So I hope you don't mind if I only work on these when I've got a spare moment.” [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout I 0.4] [wt 1.0] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Astraea ...And that was that. Fortunately, I had plenty of stone on hand to work with, so I had him make use of every gram. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 6] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Mash I see. I'm very much a beginner when it comes to sculpting, but I'm still impressed by this sculptor's dedication. [k] [charaFace F 13] @Mash Whoever made these statues must have observed you very closely to capture your likeness so well. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Orion I'll say. You can almost sense the muscles rippling under the stone skin. This Servant clearly knows their anatomy. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 23] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Hmm... I don't suppose Michelangelo[sr]was summoned here, was he? [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Astraea I'm afraid not. [k] @Astraea I requested that this Servant make these statues less because of my divine traits and more because the girl whose body I'm possessing likes this sort of thing. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Astraea That said, as the god of justice, I certainly don't have anything against muscular physiques. [k] @Astraea If I had to choose between punches, takedowns, and submission holds, I would go with takedowns first, submission holds second, and punches third. Oh yes. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Jason (Geez, she's really letting her vessel's influence come through here. And in completely frivolous ways at that.) [k] [charaFace A 10] @Jason (On the other hand, she actually hasn't changed a bit when it comes to who she is on a fundamental level. Dammit.)

[k] @Astraea You say you wish to destroy Lady Artemis,[sr]the goddess of the moon... [k] @Astraea Defeat Odysseus's army, overcome Poseidon,[sr]reach Olympus... [k] @Astraea And cut down the Tree of Emptiness, yes? [k] ?1:Will you help us? ?! @Astraea That is the most naive, ridiculous idea I've ever heard. So much so, it actually makes me sick. [k] @Astraea Let me be perfectly clear:[sr]no human could ever accomplish such a feat. [k] @Astraea And the prospect of mere heroes from Proper Human History emerging victorious against this Lostbelt is so preposterous it beggars belief. [k] @Astraea I am the goddess of the scales. [k] @Astraea Regardless of how I pass judgment, they will always come down firmly on the Lostbelt's side. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Jason Yeah, I figured you'd say that. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Astraea The gods who once took you under their protection were all deprived of their power and destroyed. Now, only scant trances of them are left. [k] @Astraea Yes, that's right. Your quest has made you enemies of the gods themselves. [k] @Astraea I remain on this island in my capacity as the goddess of justice in order to maintain my impartiality. [k] @Astraea You will receive no aid whatsoever from me. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 2] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Charlotte Corday Please! We need your help! Can't you just make a little exception or something!? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Astraea Absolutely not. To make an exception, regardless of size, would go against everything I stand for. [k] @Astraea Is that clear? [k] ?1:I understand. I'm just glad we won't have to fight you. ?! [charaFace D 0] @Astraea ...Hmm. [k] @Astraea Very well then,[sr]I will subject you to a number of trials. [k] @Astraea If you should pass these trials,[sr]I will provide you with information. [k] ?1:Trials, huh... ?! @Astraea If you have no desire to take them,[sr]then I suggest you leave this island at once. [k] @Astraea In fact, that would be the smart choice,[sr]in my estimation. [k] @Astraea You only have one life to live, after all, so you may as well spend it in the cool shade, far away from danger. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Jason Hmm. There's something to be said for that option...

[k] @Astraea They will ask nothing more of you,[sr]and they will demand nothing less. [k] @Astraea With every trial you pass,[sr]I will share a new piece of information. [k] @Astraea And to make things more interesting, I think I will limit the number of Servants who can challenge a given trial as well. Your Master, of course, will be free to participate in all of them.
