[charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Hmm, looks like our new setting is a masquerade ball. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Reines I'm not sure if it's accurate to call this a Singularity, but it does seem like each area has its own theme. [k] @Reines First it was a fairy tale, now it's a masquerade ball.[sr]I wonder if there's something tying them together. [k] ?1:Maybe it has to do with Kintoki, Bunyan, and Nursery Rhyme... ?! @Reines As I recall, there's a fairy[sr]tale about Kintarou in Japan. [k] @Reines Jack the Ripper is dark even for a fairy tale, but she might have some other connection to keep her here. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash A connection...?[sr]Well, we did meet Jack during the Fourth Singularity... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Connections are hugely important in the magecraft world. They're the threads we follow to pull the wool over the eyes of the world, after all. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Yes, that's true. I remember being taught about[sr]the importance of connections in magecraft, too. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Mash Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to report. [k] @Mash For the time being, we've decided to refer[sr]to this Singularity as Patchwork London. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Patchwork London, hm? That's the same thing Bunyan called it. Not bad. It's got a nice ring to it. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash On another note, do either of you still[sr]have any issues with your memories? [k] ?1:I don't think so. ?2:Maybe? It's hard to say. ?! [charaFace B 12] @Mash It's too bad we can't have a specialist examine you... [k] @Mash In the meantime, I'll send all the data on your vitals that I can to the medical team. Please let me know if you notice anything else amiss. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Don't worry, we'll keep an eye out.[sr]It's hard to spot holes in your own memory, after all. [k] @Reines So don't hesitate to let us know[sr]if you see anything off, either. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash I won't! Wait... Hang on. I'm seeing a large magical energy signal not too far from you. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines So I see. I can even sense this one myself.[sr]It's coming from inside that palace... [k] @Reines ...which would be right about where the Tower of London is in the real London. Ugh, as if things weren't bad enough already. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash I'm afraid we're putting too much load on the equipment, so I need to stop our transmission for a while. I'm sorry. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Mash It might take some time, but I'll contact you again as soon as I can. Ms. Reines, please watch out for Senpai in the meantime. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Don't worry, I've got it covered.
