When you're examining a crime scene with a magnifying glass, Goredolf, do you focus on the stain on your pants before even considering the evidence?

Do you mean that, if we hope to find anything that might lead us to what we are seeking... [k] @Mash ...we should be prepared to[sr]suffer a few setbacks at first? [k] [charaFace B 1] @Holmes Precisely! If you're too focused on your expense ledger, you'll miss the evidence that's right in front of you, my dear Watson. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Mash Understood!

I'm just using something called a transmission to send my voice over the air. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Da Vinci There's also a detective here who might pop in every now and then, but don't mind him. He's harmless. [k] [charaFace F 19] @Da Vinci Oh, we also have a commander who's obviously really bad with kids... [k] @Da Vinci ...but I'm having him sit this out,[sr]whether he likes it or not.

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 3] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha Oh, uh, well, I wanted to give you these, to thank you for saving us... [k] ?1:Ooh, bananas! Thanks! ?! [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 1] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Rama Oho, these are fine bananas indeed. [k] @Rama You know, I used to feast on the bananas that Hanuman would pick for me all the time. [k] @Rama They were jewels of the heavens, so delectable a single bite could make your cheeks melt away in pleasure... [k] @Rama ...but I can tell that these bananas are surely every bit their equal. [k] @Rama I thank you from the bottom of[sr]my heart for this gift, Asha. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha Hanuma...? [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Rama You know, Hanuman? The monkey god?[sr]One of my closest allies? [k] [charaFace I 4] @Rama ...What's that? You've never even heard of him? [k] @Rama Poor Hanuman. I guess even picking up and carrying a whole mountain wasn't enough to make you famous... You're in no position to be laughing at Lakshmana. [k] @Rama ... [k] [charaFace I 0] @Rama Hold on. I sincerely doubt the answer could be no,[sr]but let me ask you something just to make sure. [k] @Rama Have you heard the name “Rama” before?

[k] @Karna Well, that is no surprise. I still have a long way to go before I reach the heights of mastery I strive for. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Don't be ridiculous, Karna.[sr]That's giving yourself far too little credit. [k] @Holmes It is no exaggeration to say that in the India from Proper Human History, there is not a single person alive who has not heard your names. That is how great your heroic deeds were. [k] @Holmes So if the people here have no familiarity with the myths of the past, or the figures from well-known stories... [k] @Holmes ...that would mean that neither the Mahabharata nor the Ramayana exist in this Lostbelt. [k] @Holmes Alternatively, they may have existed in the past,[sr]but have since been forgotten. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Rama Hmph. How sad to think that the people of this day have never heard of my grand exploits. [k] [charaFace I 4] @Rama ...No, wait... Does this mean we can't even be sure my exploits happened here? [k] @Rama And if they didn't, does that mean that neither I nor Sita existed in this India...? [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 13] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Either way, if Asha hasn't heard of you, there's no point in pursuing this line of questioning any further. [k] @Da Vinci I think it's best if we stick to questions she'll actually be able to help us with, starting with our campsite. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Da Vinci Asha, we're looking for a place where we can rest for the night. Can you think of any good spots? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha Well, um... There's a cave near here we use to play hide-and-seek. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash Anything that would give us shelter from the wind and rain sounds great. Would you show us the way there?

Asha, can I ask you something? [k] @Mash Do you know anything about that giant tree way off in the distance? [k] [charaFace G 3] @Asha Ooh, you're curious about it too, huh? So am I! It just sprang up out of nowhere a while ago. I was so surprised... [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Rama Is that all you know about it?

[k] @Asha Most of the people in town say it probably has something to do with our god, like God's Skyboulder. [k] @Mash That's actually just what I[sr]wanted to ask you about next. [k] @Mash Is God's Skyboulder what you call that enormous cube floating over those mountains? [k] [charaFace G 0] @Asha Uh-huh... [k] ?1:God's Skyboulder... ?2:So that's what it's called. ?! [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Rama Now that we know its name, the next question is obvious. What exactly is it? [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha Well that's a funny question.[sr]God's Skyboulder is God's Skyboulder! [k] [charaFace G 0] @Asha It's been around forever, just like the sun and the ground. Everyone knows that. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Hmm...? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha I don't know what else to say. God's Skyboulder is God's Skyboulder, just like the sun is the sun. [k] [charaFace G 1] @Asha I'm positive my father would say the same thing!

Not that I can imagine how humans could have made such a thing. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Asha Um, I think it's because our god made it?[sr]Or maybe because he lives there? [k] @Asha Sorry, I really don't know. Nobody ever goes near it. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Holmes Oh? And why is that? Speaking for myself, I find it an enormously compelling object of interest. [k] @Holmes Most mysterious indeed.[sr]It is without a doubt worth investigating. [k] [charaFace G 5] @Asha I just know it's got something to do with our god,[sr]so people are supposed to stay away. [k] @Asha Besides, they also say there are lots of kali around there trying to kill our god. [k] @Asha It's not just me.[sr]My father, my aunt...nobody in Bichu ever goes there.

[k] @Da Vinci From what we saw, I'm guessing their attacks happen pretty regularly, but[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 2] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha Wow, you mean the kali never come to your town, travelers? That's so surprising! [k] @Asha You must be from somewhere reeeally far away, especially if you can't even see God's Skyboulder from there. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Asha But yeah, of course the kali show up a lot whenever a yuga's about to end. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] @Asha And since tomorrow's Kali Yuga, I bet there'll be way more tomorrow than there were today.

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Asha You mean you don't know? I thought everybody knew lots of kali show up on Kali Yuga, since it's the last yuga and all. [k] @Asha That's why everyone always locks their doors even tighter and prays even harder than they did for Dvāpara Yuga today.

[k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 13] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Let's just say we're from somewhere reeeally off the beaten path. [k] @Da Vinci A place pretty much at the ends of the earth where everything from society to history is fundamentally different. [k] [charaFace F 24] @Da Vinci So please, tell us, Asha.[sr]What happens when Kali Yuga is over?

[k] @Asha But then, if our god decides you're worthy, he brings you back to life, and the first happy yuga starts all over again.
