[k] [charaFace B 4] @Aphrodite And you're... You're... What are you, exactly?[sr]Are you really a Crypter? [k] @Aphrodite Nothing about you stands out.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Aphrodite Compassion? You want me to spend my precious[sr]time thinking about a human? [k] [charaFace B 8] @Aphrodite Humans are weak and deserving of our protection. I'm even willing to lend them a hand when they need help. [k] @Aphrodite But that's as far as it goes. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Aphrodite We are the gods of Olympus! We would never waste our time on something so foolish as thinking about humans, especially not here!

[k] @Beryl Every person there had their hands full taking care of themselves, and any faith they may have had in something greater had long been lost. [k] @Beryl Not that there were ever any gods in that world to begin with, of course. Compared to that, Olympus has been truly divine in every sense of the word. [k] @Beryl Indeed, your glorious light is still far too bright for my poor eyes. I only hope you can laugh off my slight as the foolish remarks of a hopeless country bumpkin.

[k] [charaFace B 6] @Aphrodite Very well, Crypter. You may not be worthy of my[sr]consideration, but I can spare you a bit of my pity. [k] @Aphrodite I can only imagine how much you must have suffered[sr]in a Lostbelt without a single god. [k] @Aphrodite So I will overlook your transgressions here in light of your wise decision to abandon that foolish Lostbelt. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Aphrodite Now then, what is your name? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Beryl Ah, your mercy and kindness move me to my core, goddess!

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Aphrodite Beryl... What a strange ring your name has.[sr]It almost sounds like blood splattering against a wall. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Aphrodite Very well, Beryl, come to my shrine. [k] @Aphrodite You're going to tell me, and only me, about this Lostbelt[line 2]this Land of Fairies at the Ends of the World you abandoned. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 7] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Beryl It would be my pleasure, my goddess.[sr]But first...may I ask you something? [k] @Beryl I can't seem to find a close friend[sr]of mine here no matter where I look. [k] @Beryl It's Kadoc, the one you said reminds you of a puppy.[sr]Would you happen to know where I might find him? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Aphrodite Of course not. I couldn't possibly care[sr]less about such a hapless creature. [k] [charaFace B 9] @Aphrodite He's probably out somewhere enjoying[sr]one of the city's automated brothels. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 11] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Beryl (...Is that so. Well, that works out nicely.) [k] [charaFace C 4] @Beryl I see, I see.[sr]Yes, that does sound like something Kadoc would do. [k] @Beryl But in that case, Lady Aphrodite, if Kadoc is out in the city now, I mean, according to the revelation from the King of the Gods... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Aphrodite Oh, that? Yes, if he's out in the city now, he'll probably end up dead, caught up in the eradication of Chaldea. [k] @Aphrodite As a pathetic member of Proper Human History, rather than one of our citizens of Olympus, I doubt there will be so much as a trace of him left. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Beryl Indeed. This may sound heartless of me, but if that is his fate, so be it. After all, you are the goddess of love, and love can, at times, be cruel. [k] @Beryl You were never one to come to the aid[sr]of mortals, even in Proper Human History. [k] @Beryl For my part, I can only hope and pray that[sr]Kadoc is still somewhere in this shrine... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Beryl What about the other Twelve Olympians? [k] @Beryl Say, for example, the goddess of the land and harvest who has long protected nature, animals, and humans alike? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 9] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Aphrodite Oh, yes, Demeter. [k] @Aphrodite Hmm... Good question. I'm not really sure.
