[k] @Scheherazade Her excitement at discovering a pyramid-shaped casino... Her confusion at being appointed a Swimsuit Swordmaster, something she had previously never heard of... [k] @Scheherazade All these emotions swirled together, pushing her already earnest nature into overdrive. [k] @Scheherazade This caused her Divinity to overflow... [k] [charaFace H 4] @Scheherazade ...and now, the Medjed side of her has become a bit stronger than usual. [k] @Scheherazade I suspect her personality has become more, um, divine, as a result...and the original Nitocris is probably asleep, most likely in a dream state. [k] @Scheherazade My guess is she won't recover until the summer ends, or until she suffers a powerful shock to her system. [k] @Scheherazade Since there's no telling what could happen to her like this, and I'd hate for her to die in an unfortunate accident... [k] @Scheherazade The least I can do is help her while working by her side. [k] ?1:That sounds rough... ?2:My condolences... ?!

[k] [charaFace D 26] @Katsushika Hokusai Hehe, well that's perfect! Saves me the trouble of trackin' her down! [k] @Katsushika Hokusai If I don't get a letter of challenge, [bgm BGM_EVENT_24 0.1]I'll just hafta challenge her to a match here an' now! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 5] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Cleopatra And I'm telling you, you can't just go around challenging the great MEDJED like this! [k] [charaFace G 2] @Cleopatra There, you see? She's furious! [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 2] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @MEDJED Violence! Entitlement! Unacceptable! [k] ?1:Is she glowing now!? ?2:Since when is she able to glow!? ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Speaking in terms of stats, she has gone from B-rank Divinity to EX-rank Medjed. [k] @Scheherazade She may differ from the real Medjed in numerous ways, but the key takeaway... [k] @Scheherazade ...is that she has become this casino's guardian god, devoting all of her power to keeping it safe. [k] [charaFace H 6] @Scheherazade And so, her eyes glow now. Though I'll admit, I'm not quite sure how that follows either. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Siegfried I don't know what's going to happen to us without a letter of challenge...but I can see that Hokusai's already on the move. [k] [charaFace B 2] @Siegfried We'll just have to back her up as best we can, Master! [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 0.5] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_24 0.5] [wait fade] [soundStopAll] [end]
