[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 6] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Scheherazade I can't say I approve of eavesdropping.

[k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.2] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.4 1] [wt 0.4] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna I had no intention of showing myself here. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna My only purpose was to see what sort of state our guests were in. [k] [charaFace D 6] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna But...it is as I suspected. You may be following the letter of the law, but the spirit is completely absent. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna You two are no longer Ooku attendants,[sr]and the [&boy:girl] only appears to be intoxicated. [k] ?1:I'm impresshed you figured it out! ?2:Tha's right! The floor hasn't spun all the way 'round! ?! [charaFaceFade D 9 0.2] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna ...(Cough) It is hard to believe you made it this far while forsaking drink and banquet alike. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna How did you do it... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone If you find it that puzzling, maybe you should have a few drinks yourself. It might at least help with your worry lines. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Even if you can't hold your liquor, you could still substitute with a cup of tea and a tasty snack. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Earnestness is an admirable quality, but you'll never win people over if you don't occasionally have fun with them. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 7] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna ...Ha. I would gladly imbibe myself if necessary. I only refrain in order to fulfill my task of ensuring that others drink. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara I see... Hehe.[sr]So you are not here to stop us... [k] @Sessyoin Kiara ...but only to see how Master is doing. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara Why, that makes it sound as though you are more concerned with our current condition than with the fact that we have managed to come so far. [k] [charaFace E 8] @Sessyoin Kiara That, in turn, suggests that you do not care[sr]how far we penetrate into the labyrinth... [k] @Sessyoin Kiara ...but only whether or not we have been[sr]breaking each floor's precept, yes? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna ... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami We have already determined that this Ooku[sr]has a connection to the five precepts. [k] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Thus, I will ask you only once. Nobutsuna, are you certain you do not know Kama's true objective? [k] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Whatever hasty reasoning may have caused you to go over to her side, you are still the man once known as Wise Izu. [k] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami If there is an answer to this mystery,[sr]surely you must have realized it. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 6] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna ...A foolish question if ever there was one. Even if I have realized her goal, why would I share that information now? [k] [charaFace D 4] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna Indeed, it would be especially worthless and troublesome to share that with ones clearly more foolish than myself. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mata Hari That sounds like you do know it.[sr]Come on, why not just tell us while we're all here then? [k] @Mata Hari Whatever this goal is, it's obviously important enough to you to turn us into your pawns and use us to make others to drink. [k] @Mata Hari So come on, tell us. After what you put us through, don't we have a right to know? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 8] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna ...(Cough) Do not make me repeat myself.[sr]The signs are already there. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna If you still fail to understand, it is only because you have overlooked them. At this point, I can do little else but laugh.

That will make things much simpler for me. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna There is only one thing this floor requires of you: intoxication. Fail to drink to excess, and you will die. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna You may have been able to deceive everything else on this floor, but you will have no such luck with these guards.

[k] [charaFace E 8] @Sessyoin Kiara This is certainly one way to enforce your mandate[sr]of intoxication, but it is so...inelegant. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara (Sigh) It's left me so...turned off. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Nobutsuna. If you will not share what you know, then we have nothing more to discuss. Stand down, or be slain. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna Of course I will stand down.[sr]It is not my job to fight you, but theirs. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna But first, let me warn you of just one more thing,[sr]so as to avoid any more foolish questions. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna Resistance is futile. Really, truly futile.[sr]None of you can hope to defy Lady Kama. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna This very Ooku was made to have you succumb. Sooner or later, you will find yourselves unable to progress unless you give in to depravity. [k] ?1:...! ?! [charaFace D 7] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna After all...who do you think placed these[sr]corridors and staircases to begin with? [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna It is only thanks to these staircases that you are able to make your way further and further inside. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna The way down could have been a pitfall, or a line of spears, but instead, you need merely contend with stairs. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna Why? Because that is what Lady Kama decided. There is no greater significance, nor does there need to be. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna This is no different. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna Lady Kama decided all these paths ahead of time,[sr]and there is no way you can go against them. [k] @Matsudaira Nobutsuna Once you decided to delve into the Ooku, Lady Kama already had you exactly where she wanted. All you can do now is resign yourselves to your fate...
