If you're not a Heroic Spirit, make sure you're strapped in good and tight, or you're liable to bite your tongue off! [k] @Goredolf Whooooooa! We're bouncing all over the place! I know this isn't exactly the time to be obeying traffic laws, but you will NOT flip us over, Piccata! [k] [shakeStop] @Meunière It's not Piccata! It's Meunière! And I'm just getting the hang of the control stick, dammit! [k] @Meunière ...Hey, where'd Holmes run off to, anyway!? [k] @Da Vinci He said he'd talked too much and went back to the recovery pod. Mr. Great Detective pretty much just woke up to assess the situation and negotiate a bit! [k] @Scáthach-Skadi What an astonishing man! To think he remained so calm and collected even despite his many injuries. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi I take it this “recovery pod” is off that way?[sr]I shall grace him with one of my healing runes. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Freyja, Ortlinde, come with me. [k] @Sitonai Ugh, how many times do I have to tell you?[sr]My name is Illya. But, fine, I'll go with you. [k] @Ortlinde Understood. [k] @Meunière Man, imagine getting nursed back[sr]to health by an actual goddess... [k] @Meunière But that doesn't excuse Holmes's sheer recklessness![sr]Not that he's the only one here guilty of that! [k] @Goredolf Heh, well, there's only so much a man of his meager abilities can do. Not everyone can be blessed with an abundance of talent like myself, after all. [k] @Goredolf And let me be clear about one thing: I am not like the rest of you. I have no craving whatsoever for adventure! [k] @Goredolf A good commander in chief always assesses the[sr]situation calmly, deploys the right people to the right places, and ensures his organization runs as smoothly as [wt 0.5][messageShake 0.05 3 2 1.0]pthhible.

[k] [charaFace E 25] @Da Vinci You know the massive magical energy signature we saw up in the northern part of old Sweden? [k] @Da Vinci Well, I'm pretty sure it's Surtr, and he's heading south fast!

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Brynhild That means he must be headed toward something else.[sr]Something that does not exist in Muspelheim...

[k] @Da Vinci He's currently headed due south toward Lake Vänern,[sr]where the village is! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Napoleon Guess that means he got himself connected to the tree then. Dammit, now we've got to reverse course! [k] [charaFace C 2] @Napoleon Still, we can't just sit around complaining![sr]If it gets us closer to him, well, so much the better! [k] [charaFace C 4] @Napoleon After all, I was really hoping[sr]to avoid a situation... [k] @Napoleon ...where I'd have to try sniping at extreme range with my cannon because we couldn't catch him. [k] [charaFace C 6] @Napoleon So in that respect, this has worked out nicely! Phew! [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 14] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Da Vinci I wish I knew why he was headed there, though... That flaming sword of his is absurdly powerful. He could use it anywhere, and it'd still be just as destructive. [k] @Da Vinci So why go so far out of his way for one village?[sr]Hmm. Does he just want to make us watch it burn? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Napoleon I doubt he'd bother doing something like that. [k] @Napoleon I think Sigurd is right. Doesn't seem like he cares much about gods or Heroic Spirits. [k] @Napoleon I do have a thought about what he might be up to...[sr]But that's not important! [k] [charaFace C 1] @Napoleon All that matters is that this is a stroke of luck for my Grande Armée! It's about time I got serious, anyway!

[k] [charaFace C 10] @Napoleon ...but at this point, it's looking clear[sr]that I need to get really, REALLY serious. [k] [charaFace C 3] @Napoleon Plus, I've still got my trump card!
