[k] @Girl There's so much to do now that I've been left in charge of the underworld. I need to till fields, build houses, level mountains... [k] @Girl I'll do everything I can to make this land into the best nation ever! I can't wait to get started!

No stars twinkle, no wind blows, no water flows, and no flowers bloom. The underworld is only frigid cold, and now it is my task to care for this place.

I've been at this for a thousand years, and I haven't had a single person come to help! [k] @Girl This is impossible. I can't possibly warm up a freezing world like this all on my own! [k] @Girl They said I could ask the Anunnaki deities for help,[sr]but they all lost their Divinity ages ago! [k] @Girl The seven judgment pillars are basically nothing more than automatic law-reading lumps of clay! [k] @Girl The underworld's seven gates don't do a single thing unless I tell them to! [k] @Girl And there are new souls coming every day![sr]It's all I can do to build houses for them! [k] [charaFace A 3] @Girl I haven't even had time to start building my own temple... (Sigh) [k] [charaFace A 4] @Girl Some cold-blooded goddess feared by all the other gods I turned out to be... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Girl ...No, I shouldn't say that. Sitting on the top of the underworld's mountain whining about this isn't going to help anything. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Girl This world is still new, and they say there's more people on the surface every day! [k] @Girl At least I have plenty of books to read here, so I'll just keep studying until I find what I'm looking for. [k] @Girl Somewhere out there, there's got to be crops that grow without sunlight and water... [k] @Girl ...livestock that doesn't need grass, and buildings that can safely, comfortably house disembodied souls. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Girl Every living thing ends up here eventually.[sr]It's the last world most souls will ever see. [k] [charaFace A 16] @Girl Being in charge of this land is an incredibly important job. S-so what if I haven't accomplished much over the last thousand years? [k] [charaFace A 1] @Girl Just you wait. I don't care if it takes another ten thousand years, I'm not gonna give up. This place may not be as pretty as the surface, but... [k] @Girl No, on second thought, not having any stars shining down here means I can make this into a land fairer, more equal, and more beautiful than any other nation. And that's just what I'm going to do. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Girl That's the whole reason why I awakened as an earth goddess. Bringing order to the underworld is my entire reason for being. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Girl Which is why... [k] [charaFace A 5] @Girl ...I don't have any desire to fly across the sky,[sr]or even to leave this subterranean world. [k] @Girl And I refuse to tolerate the use of power for one's own benefit, or for humans, the way Ishtar did. [k] @Girl And so I vow that I will only ever use my Authority for the benefit of the underworld. [k] @Girl Thanks to the power of that oath,[sr]not even the other gods can defy me here. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Girl ...That's right. This is how it should be. I don't want anything for myself. That's my oath; it is the source of my power. [k] [charaFace A 3] @Girl ...Honestly, part of me wishes I hadn't gone that far. I wish that I'd made an oath that was a bit easier on me. [k] @Girl If I break the oath, I might end up losing all my power and become a Gallû Spirit... [k] [charaFace A 1] @Girl Then again, why should I worry? It's not as if I would ever break my oath, you know! [k] @Girl The only things I care about are the underworld and making sure souls can rest in peace! Maaaybe I have my reservations if I'm being honest, but still! [k] @Girl But anyway, from now on, I'll never use my power for any one person in particular! [k] @Girl And forget about free protection! As if you guys have any idea how lonely it gets down here! [k] @Girl I'll never just help you humans on the surface out! So there! [k] @Girl If I do, I'll just explode right there on the spot!

[k] @Altera Santa We may have different goals, Fluffy Master,[sr]but our destination is the same. Yes. [k] @Altera Santa All right, prepare to land.[sr]I can see the second gate now. [k] @Altera Santa I sense a dark and evil aura emanating from that gate.[sr]Its gatekeeper is nothing like the last one... [k] @Altera Santa Keep your wits about you, Master.

[k] [charaFace B 3] @Gatekeeper Where's my present? You DO have one for me, yeah? Good thing I've been nursing this grudge for so long! [k] [charaFace B 1] @Gatekeeper Who'da thunk I'd be meeting Santa Claus at this age!? [k] @Gatekeeper Well? Don't you have a present for everyone who waits long enough? [k] @Gatekeeper Even if they're evil murderers and stuff? [k] @Gatekeeper C'mon, spit it out![sr]Isn't that kinda compassion crap your whole deal? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera Santa Wha... [k] ?1:Darker than...okay, hearing ABS now. ?2:I feel like I've seen something like this before... ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gatekeeper What? You're stiffing me on presents?[sr]Seriously? [k] @Gatekeeper Freakin' weird. Here I thought I was a perfect fit for the underworld. I'm an old hand when it comes to human sacrifice, y'know. [k] @Gatekeeper Guess I'm just not famous enough, huh. Figures. I never did get much in the way of name recognition. I think they call me a Rogue Servant? [k] [charaFace B 1] @Gatekeeper Anyway, you can just call me Shadow Santa. I'm actually a saint, if you can believe that! Heeheeheehee! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera Santa What...?[sr]Then, you're telling me you, too, are Santa Claus...? [k] @Altera Santa Because you don't exactly seem, um...dressed for the part... [k] [charaFace A 8] @Altera Santa Nor do I see a sack of presents anywhere... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Shadow Santa Well of course you don't. I don't got anything like that.[sr]I just deliver a buncha fakes and crap. [k] @Shadow Santa When I'm Santa, I just run to a dollar store and load up on cheap garbage. [k] @Shadow Santa Let me give you a little tip as your Santa senpai, you sheep-riding weirdo... Seriously, what the hell... [k] [charaFace B 1] @Shadow Santa Christmas is an event. It's all about the PRESENTS. [k] @Shadow Santa The value of goods changes every year. All they need is someone to give 'em, and someone to get 'em. [k] @Shadow Santa The present's genuine worth is secondary at best.[sr]Not that anyone these days seems to remember that. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera Santa ...Are you sure you're really Santa Claus? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Shadow Santa Oh, sure. You and I are two peas in a pod.[sr]At least, when it comes to making shit up. [k] @Shadow Santa Seems like you're in a hurry though, huh? Fine, fine. Don't worry about me and my tragic backstory. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 1.5] @Shadow Santa You just gotta focus on getting rid of me, otherwise the gate won't open. [k] @Shadow Santa So come on, lady! Let's DO this! [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_3 0.1] @Shadow Santa Christmas comes but once a year, right? What better way to deck the halls than with some good, old-fashioned murder with a smile!? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera Santa So, this man enjoys killing...![sr]Come, Master! [k] @Altera Santa It seems this Servant has no need of a present! [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 0.5] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_3 0.4] [wait fade] [soundStopAll] [end]
