[k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone It's no surprise that they might[sr]have dropped one of their cards. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Wait.[sr]Sion is cocking her head. [k] @Mash Is there something strange about the card? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 11] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Sion No, it is just an ordinary card. It has nothing to do with the expedition. But, its parameters are also not stable. They are constantly shifting around. [k] @Sion It is as if there is some sort of black box component to this card that makes it impossible to analyze... [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 7] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash You mean...it's the same? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara Hm? What are you talking about? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 5] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Sion I mean it is behaving the same as everything over your heads and beneath your feet: the very Ooku labyrinth you are currently traversing. [k] @Sion Obviously, the fact that it is giving off the same readings as the Ooku means that card is also part of the Ooku. [k] [charaFace G 15] @Sion Unfortunately, I do not have any more[sr]information to go on at this moment. [k] @Sion Still, I do not think it poses any danger, and it is very intriguing that it would behave this way, so please hang on to it. [k] @Sion If you find any similar samples, then I should be able to conduct a more thorough analysis. [k] ?1:Roger that. ?! [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 7] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Hmm. Well, I can't complain too much as long as they're getting their work done, but it's still only right that they pick up after themselves when they're done! [k] [charaFace F 17] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone I can understand if they didn't realize they dropped it, or they just forgot to pick it up... [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone ...but once I find the culprit,[sr]they're still going to get an earful. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Oh yes, I'm happy to be the bad guy[sr]if it will keep the Ooku dignified. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 13] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash All that aside, I'm a little surprised. I never would have pictured the Ooku's residents playing card games before. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Well of course they did. If they could never leave or have any fun, that would make it a prison, not a home. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone The women who lived in the Ooku were free to keep dogs, cats, and birds, sing songs, play the koto, have tea, hold hanami and tsukimi parties... There was plenty of entertainment to go around. [k] [charaFace F 11] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Of course, in this fake, gloomy, underground Ooku, there wouldn't be any way to hold a hanami or tsukimi party, would there... [k] [charaFace F 5] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone ...Grr, now I am absolutely livid all over again! [k] [charaFace F 7] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Come on, everyone. The sooner we get to the bottom of this accursed fake Ooku and save the shogun, the better! [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 2.0] [wait fade] [wt 0.5] [soundStopAll] [end]
