[charaFace F 11] @Sessyoin Kiara Yes.[sr]Fuchutoukai is the precept that forbids stealing. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Stealing? Well that's just common sense. [k] [charaFace E 7] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone I've always made very sure that my charges know how wrong that sort of thing is! [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone One can't possibly hope to become a respectable shogun or samurai without a strong moral foundation! [k] [charaFace E 11] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Still... Are you saying that taking a key from these dolls would still constitute stealing? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara Based on what we've seen thus far, I think it's safe to say that our enemies want us to break these precepts. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara Though I still can't say what their purpose in doing so might be. [k] [charaFace F 7] @Sessyoin Kiara This is just like the last floor. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara Now that I've noticed this, I cannot help but feel that going along with what they want would be a bad idea... [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mata Hari Maybe it would, but I don't see what choice we have. [k] @Mata Hari If things are structurally set up here so that we have to break these precepts to advance, what else can we do? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Scheherazade I think our only option may be to find another way to advance without following our enemy's expectations... [k] @Scheherazade ...like how Mata Hari used her Noble Phantasm to intoxicate Master without requiring [&him:her] to drink. [k] [charaFace D 6] @Scheherazade Because one way or another...we absolutely have to keep going. [k] @Scheherazade There are still many people we need to rescue. [k] ?1:Yeah...I think you're right. ?2:Guess we'll just have to steel ourselves for whatever happens. ?! [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mata Hari Advancing in a way that goes against expectations is all well and good, but I can't think of many possible options. [k] @Mata Hari We could take the keys by force, or we could take them sneakily, but we'd still be taking them either way. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 7] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Not necessarily. We can go one step further removed. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mata Hari How so? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Scheherazade I think it's a question of who exactly steals the keys and breaks the precept. [k] @Scheherazade Master doing so is probably the most dangerous option, followed by having one of [&his:her] Servants do so in [&his:her] stead. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] @Scheherazade But, if a Servant had something else steal the keys...would that not go against Kama's expectations? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara Now I see.[sr]You make an excellent point. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara True, the further we are from breaking the precept ourselves, the safer it most likely is. [k] ?1:Is this going where I think it's going!? ?2:Does this mean we'll get to hear that famous story!? ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Yes. Fortunately, I happen to know the story of a certain thief. Allow me to tell it to you now.
