[charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Okay, why don't you all rest up then?[sr]I'll go make us some tea. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Kiyohime Thank you, Mash.[sr]Tea would be lovely. [k] @Kiyohime I've never gathered firewood or cleaned gutters before. It's exhausting. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 0] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 2] @Tamamo-no-Mae Could've fooled me, seeing how much[sr]you look to be enjoying yourself. [k] [charaFace B 10] @Kiyohime Well, of course! I mean, I'm working side[sr]by side with Master at a hot springs inn! [k] [charaFace B 1] @Kiyohime As far as I'm concerned, we're[sr]practically on our honeymoon♡ [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Tomoe Gozen I do not mind the work either. In fact, I could not be happier that I can be helpful to Ms. Beni. [k] [charaFace D 5] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 0.7] @Tomoe Gozen However... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_81 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 6] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Goredolf All that yardwork didn't amount[sr]to a single scrap of gratitude! [k] @Goredolf That is what you're getting at, isn't it, Tomoe!?[sr]I couldn't agree more! [k] [charaFace E 5] @Goredolf If we don't speed things up soon, our pig-ification[sr]is all but assured! Start innovating, and fast! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Director Goredolf is right.[sr]Can you think of anything that might help us, Senpai? [k] ?1:The Enma-tei's beautiful, but it doesn't seem to have many guests. [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Kiyohime That's true... We'll never be able[sr]to get offerings without guests. [k] @Kiyohime And we can't just go back to Chaldea until we've managed to lift the curse... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Tomoe Gozen Indeed. If we return without a resolution, we would have no choice but to simply wait for our fate... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 17] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Goredolf Y-yes, exactly! It's still too[sr]soon to ask Chaldea for help! [k] [charaFace E 11] @Goredolf Besides, the communicator's been,[sr]er...acting up a bit, anyway. [k] @Goredolf But no matter. As long as I'm here, we have no need to seek Sion or Da Vinci or anyone else's advice. [k] ?2:I say we call Chaldea and ask for help. [messageOff] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 9] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] [wt 1.0] [charaFace E 15] @Goredolf Now, now, let's, uh, not be hasty. Calling them now would do nothing to resolve this problem. [k] @Goredolf Besides, just imagine what would happen if we returned to Chaldea now while we are essentially cursed. [k] @Goredolf “Well, on to the next Lostbelt!” “Say, didn't something happen at New Year's? ...Oops.” [k] [charaFace E 16] @Goredolf And then, bam![sr]We're all suddenly one big herd of swine! [k] @Goredolf Trust me, I know all about these[sr]sorts of accursed situations! [k] [charaFace E 6] @Goredolf Therefore, I'm exercising my authority to prohibit all communicator usage until this problem is resolved! [k] [charaFace E 5] @Goredolf Now never mind all that! The real issue is that there aren't any guests at this bloody inn! [k] ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Diarmuid True. The only other guests we've seen here are those who have been staying at the Enma-tei for years. [k] @Diarmuid They may well be giving offerings[sr]every day, but even so... [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Yes... It's inevitable that their gratitude would fade as their life here becomes routine. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash The Enma-tei may be a beautiful inn, but it does seem to have trouble attracting new guests. [k] @Mash The whole building is immaculately well-kept,[sr]but it also feels...lonely. [k] @Mash I wonder why things ended up this way... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Quite. It is undeniably strange that such a miraculous inn would be so bereft of visitors... [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill ...but we can, and should,[sr]save that discussion for another time. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Especially since our path forward is now clear. [k] ?1:It is? [charaFace G 1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_62 0.1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Absolutely.[sr]You said it yourself, Master. [k] ?2:Sure is. [charaFace G 1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_62 0.1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Indeed. Now that we know what the problem is,[sr]we can set about fixing it. [k] ?! [charaFace G 0] @Fionn mac Cumhaill If there are no new guests coming to stay,[sr]we need merely go and find some. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill This inn may be normally inaccessible to humans, but we have quite the surplus of nonhuman acquaintances. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill All we need do is draw upon our bonds, and we should have Heroic Spirits coming here one after the other. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 7] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Goredolf I see. Headhunting, but for[sr]guests instead of employees. [k] @Goredolf Still, isn't there a limit to how many Servants you could attract here with your bonds alone? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Yes. Even if we assume the Wandering Sea Chaldea Base can produce as much magical energy as Chaldea... [k] @Mash ...we would still only be able to Rayshift one,[sr]maybe two more Servants to this Singularity. [k] @Mash What's more...they would need to come here with Master. [k] @Mash And since we can't return to Chaldea right now,[sr]I don't believe it's possible to summon from there. [k] @Mash So our only choice is to have them come[sr]directly from the Throne of Heroes... [k] @Mash ...but in order to do that, we would need power equivalent to a Holy Grail. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] [charaFadein G 0.1 0] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Which is exactly why it will work, Mash. The Enma-tei naturally attracts all sorts of spirits, right? [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Then by definition, this whole inn must[sr]function as a summoning location. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Oh! [k] [charaFace G 0] @Fionn mac Cumhaill So how do we get more guests?[sr]Simple: attention-grabbing advertising. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill We tell prospective guests that if they come here... [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill ...they will find wonderful food,[sr]scenery, and service, in equal measure. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill And once the Enma-tei starts to thrive again, word of mouth will spread and the more curious Heroic Spirits will be compelled to come stay for themselves. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Now then, what is it we need to do[sr]in order to make that happen, Master? [k] ?1:Do ALL the jobs! ?2:Liven this place up! ?! [charaFace G 1] @Fionn mac Cumhaill Hahaha. Thank you for putting[sr]into words what I could not. [k] @Fionn mac Cumhaill I'm encouraged to see you haven't let this sudden turn from pleasure trip to working holiday get you down. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Tamamo-no-Mae If that's what you want, Master, I have no objections. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae That said, we will need to talk to Ms. Beni and get her permission. I'll handle that part. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae After all, if we're going to make suggestions about how to run the inn itself... [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae ...in addition to all the yardwork, culinary work, cleaning, and fixing up empty rooms... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Tamamo-no-Mae ...that goes well beyond what most people would consider to be a part-time job. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae Now let's see...why don't we start with renovating one of the sealed-off guest rooms? [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae We certainly can't go around attracting guests if we don't have a place for them to stay. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae As they say, you have to walk before you can run.[sr]Or clean before you can entertain, in this case♡ [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 17] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Goredolf Y-yes, well said, Tamamo-no-Mae! Hahaha, I wonder why your name just rolls off the tongue! [k] [charaFace E 10] @Goredolf Very well then, we now know what it is we must do. [k] @Goredolf [%1], the first order of business[sr]is to make the guest rooms usable. [k] @Goredolf This may be a small step for you, but it will be a giant leap for me. Specifically, for ensuring I remain as I am. [k] [charaFace E 15] @Goredolf Go on then, get to work, [&boy:girl]![sr]I'll be here to support you as best I can!
