What's a Tam Lin? She can't say. [k] @Sei Shounagon I don't really know either, for that matter!

[k] @Sei Shounagon She's been killing it lately in the bridal gown industry. All that positivity and her surprisingly big personality for such a small gal have made her a real hit! [k] @Sei Shounagon Kama-cho's never interacted with anyone like those two before, so it should make for some fun and novel situations.

Kama is both the god of love, capable of loving all of humanity, and the Demon King of Depravity. [k] @Pārvatī But since those two Heroic Spirits are neither human nor god... [k] @Pārvatī ...they should theoretically be better able to resist Kama's depravity. [k] @Pārvatī Okay, it looks like they made it in safely. I'll try giving them a call.

Can everybody hear me okay? [k] ?1:Yup, loud and clear! ?2:Man, I haven't used a tin can phone in forever... ?! [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Habetrot We can hear you just fine, and there's nothing strange happening around us, either! [k] [charaFace C 1] @Habetrot So this is what you meant when you said you needed some of my string, huh!? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] @Pārvatī I knew we would need a lifeline we could trust with Master's, erm...life, and your thread's phantasmal strength is certainly up to the task. [k] @Pārvatī It was also a fortunate stroke of luck that it can serve double duty as a means of communication. [k] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Barghest Status report: we appear to be in a city covered in fog, but we're not seeing any other people nearby. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] @Pārvatī Understood. Thank you, Barghest. I'm counting on you and Habbycat to keep Master safe. [k] ?1:Thanks for coming all this way with me. ?! [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Barghest Of course. I am simply doing my duty as your Servant. [k] [charaFace B 9] @Barghest Besides...I'm a little curious as to what a god of love is like. [k] @Barghest Even if I can't change how I act on my own romantic feelings, it should still be illuminating to learn about other forms of love. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 6] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Habetrot You can't have a good marriage without love, so I'm interested, too! I don't know what a god's love is like, though! [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] @Pārvatī All right, you're in Kama's...let's call it her mindscape. Please be careful. [k] @Pārvatī It may look like it's based on reality, but there's every chance it operates on completely different rules from the outside world. [k] ?1:So, what do we do first? ?! @Pārvatī Good question... For the time being, would you mind taking a look around at whatever catches your eye while Habbycat continues unfurling her thread? [k] @Pārvatī If I'm right, that should be enough for you to run into her. [k] @Pārvatī Oh, and since Kama's likely to clam up if she hears me, I'm going to keep my communications from here on to a minimum. [k] @Pārvatī I'll still be keeping a close ear on things, though, so please don't hesitate to ask if you need my help! [k] @Pārvatī Okay then, I'll leave you to it! [k] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Barghest If we're done talking, then let's be on our way. I'll take the front. Master, you stay behind me, and Habetrot, you bring up the rear. [k] @Barghest Remember, we are in enemy territory. Be on your guard and be prepared to act at a moment's notice. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 7] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Habetrot Man, you sure take things seriously, huh, Barghest? But hey, that's probably why you got chosen for bodyguard duty! [k] [charaFace C 1] @Habetrot Okay, let's go! [k] @Habetrot Don't worry! My thread's super tough, so there's no way we'll get lost!

[k] @Barghest We could find an ocean in the middle of a city, or a snowy mountain in the middle of a desert. [k] @Barghest Perhaps that is the sign of a free heart... Truly the stuff of dreams.

Do you have sprites for brains or something!? [k] @Kama If you must know, I'm just one part of Kama. She's been fractured and spread all across this mindscape! [k] @Kama I'm not the key you need to awaken the main Kama! Bringing me back's not going to do you any better than eating me! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Barghest ...Really? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 7] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Habetrot Hmm, you do seem a lot smaller than I was expecting. You're no bigger than a tiny fairy. [k] ?1:So, you're not the main Kama? ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Kama Well, um, technically, I am still really Kama, but I'm just a part of her personality that's been cut off from the rest. [k] @Kama I guess the simplest way I can put it is that I'm like a virtual alter ego that only exists in this world... [k] [charaFace E 11] @Kama All right, you want the truth? Here's the truth! [k] @Kama I'm Kama's conscience! [k] [charaFace E 12] @Kama I'm the part of her that's always second-guessing everything she thinks and does. [k] [charaFace E 11] @Kama Like, “Is it really okay to boycott my job like this?” “Am I making trouble for Master?” “When should I wake up?” and so on. [k] @Kama It's embarrassing to admit that, but I can't help being what I am. [k] [charaFace E 2] @Kama That's why I'm down here in the lowest levels of Kama's mind, and why I'm not going to run away or attack you! [k] ?1:(Her conscience is so tiny!) ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Barghest So you have no intention of resisting, hmm... What about waking up? That would save us all a great deal of time. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Kama Well...since you did come all this way to meet me... [k] [charaFace E 0] @Kama ...I would certainly be willing to meet you halfway and wake up. [k] @Kama But I'm afraid I'm not the key, and so I don't have the ability to do that. [k] [charaFace E 4] @Kama I was just wondering if I should go look for the key myself, but honestly, there's probably not much I could do with all my other, bigger selves out there... [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 10] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Habetrot Oh, so that's why you looked like you couldn't make up your mind about whether or not to go through that gate. That's adorable. [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk off] [charaFace E 3] [charaFadein E 0.4 -100,0] [wt 1.4] ?1:If you're willing to wake up, would you help us? ?2:Can you help us find the key, then? ?! [charaTalk on] [charaFace C 1] @Habetrot Yeah! We're not about to get lost here, though we have no idea where to go either, so I was just thinking we could use a guide! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 13] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Kama Well, okay, if that's what you want, Master. I mean, I am your Servant, after all. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Kama But to be absolutely clear, I'm just a single, tiny part of Kama that thinks she should wake up. [k] @Kama The other, bigger parts still want to stay asleep and are relieving their stress in various ways here in this dreamworld. [k] @Kama None of them will be nearly as willing to wake up. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Kama They might even try to attack you, so please be careful, okay? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Barghest Not to worry. That's why I'm here. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Barghest ...I only hope these attacks are new and exciting. I hope they can teach me more about love... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 14] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Kama Wha...? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Habetrot Ah, don't worry about her. I think she's just doing her best to improve her bridal appeal. [k] @Habetrot Anyway, it sounds like we need to go through this gate, yeah? Then let's get going!
