All right, Scheherazade, for the moment, I'll admit that you make a good tactician. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Scheherazade ...[charaMoveReturn E 0,-10 0.4] (Bow) [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Astolfo I looove getting new allies! [k] [charaFace B 4] @Astolfo Still, I just had a thought, and I realized something... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Astolfo Our ultimate goal here is to find the Demon God Pillar hiding in Agartha and take it out, right? [k] @Astolfo I mean, if we wanna do something about this weird sorta-Singularity place and save everyone down here. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaEffect A bit_talk_10_LowLevel] [wt 0.1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ...That's exactly right. Our Order is to defeat the Demon God Pillar and destroy all of Agartha. [k] @Mash Even if we somehow managed to dig a tunnel and let all the men here return to the surface... [k] @Mash ...there will continue to be new victims until we manage to resolve the underlying cause. [k] [charaPut A 0,-10000] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Astolfo Yup! I get all that. [k] @Astolfo And at first I kinda figured that the Demon God Pillar we had to kill was the Berserker of El Dorado. [k] @Astolfo But then I thought: What if it's actually Megalos? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ... [k] [charaFace A 14] @Mash That's...a good point.[sr]It's definitely possible! [k] [charaPut A 0,-10000] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @d'Eon His size and strength are certainly far beyond the bounds of any normal Servant. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Astolfo And if he IS the Pillar, he's gonna be REAL hard to kill, right? I mean we all saw how scary he is in his murder mode back there! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Fergus Speaking as a Celtic man, I would like nothing more. [k] @Fergus For us, the stronger our opponent is, the better. [k] @Fergus There would be no honor in defeating a weakened Greek hero, but now that he is so incredibly powerful, defeating him would bring us unimaginable honor! [k] [charaFace D 4] @Fergus ...Though of course, I'm afraid I'm almost certainly not yet strong enough to actually do that. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 0.4] [wt 0.5] [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider Now hang on a minute. This Demon God Pillar thing HAS to be that Servant from El Dorado, right? There's no other sensible answer, is there? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @d'Eon What do you mean? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider If this Demon God Pillar is the one that made this place... [k] @Rider ...then naturally, this place would follow the rules that its creator laid down. [k] @Rider And the rules of this world are obvious. Men fall from the surface, and women use them as slaves and to create more women. [k] @Rider In other words, Agartha is a world made for women. [k] @Rider In which case, the Demon God Pillar must be one of the people trying to rule this world. [k] @Rider There used to be three possible candidates, but now...there's only one. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Dahut. Wu Zetian.[sr]And the Berserker of El Dorado... [k] @Scheherazade Their dispositions do seem very different from those of us who don't wish to be here. [k] @Scheherazade Which then begs the question of whether that is their true disposition, or the Demon God's influence. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @d'Eon Either way, the process of elimination leaves us with only one remaining choice... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Astolfo Guess that means we gotta take down the Berserker of El Dorado next! [k] @Astolfo Oh, hey! So, since we've run into Lil' Fergus,[sr]Captain Not-Drake, and Mega Herc... [k] @Astolfo Does that mean that every Servant who disappeared from Chaldea ended up here after all? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider ...Beats me. Like I told you before, I've never met any of them, so I can't say one way or the other. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 6] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Nor can I... It could be that we simply have yet to encounter them... [k] @Scheherazade ...or it could be that they have already been killed by either Dahut, Wu Zetian, or the Berserker. [k] [charaFace E 4] @Scheherazade ...What an awful thought.[sr]I really don't want to be killed. [k] @Scheherazade The mere thought of dying compels me to practice begging for my life. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 1.5] [charaFace E 0] @Scheherazade I suppose the safest thing to do would be to polish my dogeza, since it works so well in many situations. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @d'Eon Are you sure?[sr]That dogeza already looked perfect to me. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_2 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider Either way, there's no sense worrying about someone we don't even know is here. [k] @Rider And since we can't count on Megalos for anything, the only ones we CAN count on are the ones who are here. [k] @Rider All right, tactician, this is your time to shine.[sr]How do we go about fighting El Dorado? [k] @Rider Tell us what you've got in mind. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 7] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Very well... This may be somewhat presumptuous of me, but my advice for our next step is...
