[k] @Holmes This shouldn't damage the simulator's operation, and the NPCs should no longer harbor anger. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Holmes Never forget, Master: those beings battle you endlessly, day and night, so you might train and grow. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Holmes Though they will no longer possess anger or feelings of regret... [k] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 0] @Holmes Even if they are no more than data with neither personality nor life... They are in a sense members of Chaldea who helped in your fight to save humanity. [k] @Holmes It may be best to keep that in the back of your mind whenever you go through a Battle Simulation.

[k] [charaFace D 1] @Archer of Shinjuku Child of Hydra, dragon's skin and fang, talons of the Tsuchigumo spider of the East, relics and Noble Phantasms left from the Age of Gods... [k] @Archer of Shinjuku Even behind the shadows of society, if we speak of the realm of magecraft, there should be plenty of “proof” you can present. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Archer of Shinjuku Historical? Fictional? Why on earth would you be mentioning this now? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Holmes I had no choice. If we had dug deeper, we would need to discuss matters such as parallel worlds or the Pruning Theoretical Phenomenon, and I would even need to go into detail about the Age of Gods. [k] @Holmes We live in a world where the distant past retains no physical trace of us... That is the manner of uncertainty in which we live. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Holmes It is as it should be, since what we can see and touch and experience as reality are brief, fleeting events. [k] @Holmes Even secured by the Sacred Lance, such a thing could easily be stripped away if the means were discovered. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Holmes There's no need for humans to know.[sr]They shouldn't know. [k] [wt 1.2] [charaFace A 0] [wt 0.7] [charaFace A 5] @Holmes That is why I was given the Spirit Origin of a Ruler...as a mediator and judge. [k] @Holmes I mediate the truth and rule over all creation to maintain the history of humanity. [k] @Holmes As one who shines a light on the truth, I sense that the world is telling me that not all illusions and dreams should be laid bare.

You could very well have avoided any or all of those topics while explaining, great detective that you are. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Holmes It's quite vexing to hear you flatter me.[sr]Do stop that at once. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Archer of Shinjuku Hahaha! Your words cut deep! [k] [charaFace A 5] @Holmes And well they should.

[k] [wt 0.8] [charaFace D 4] @Archer of Shinjuku I confess I was interested in the device, from a mathematical standpoint, you see. And I did take a look at the system itself. No more than that, though. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Holmes Let's have your story, then. I noticed an inexplicable burst of static lasting only a few seconds during Chaldea's log this past May. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Holmes Even I could not determine quite what it was.[sr]It must have been a special case indeed. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Holmes I have at least a notion of what manner of phenomenon it was. You must have used THAT static blocker as a reference.
