[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Jack Wooow, there's so many paintings and things in here![sr]Some things are all curved, some are all straight... They're just like guts! [k] ？1：It really is all about guts with you, isn't it... ？！ [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Reines This place might not be like the real London, but I'd still bet it covers about half of the British Museum. [k] ＠Reines I could easily spend a week here and it wouldn't be enough. All right, let's be quick and efficient about canvasing the place and taking out any intruders.

So you're Servants, you say? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Sakata Kintoki Rogue Servants, yeah.[sr]Somethin' in this land summoned us here. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Jack We don't have any idea what for, though![sr]Maybe it just wanted us to play and have fun! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Reines Now I see. I've heard of you before,[sr]though we usually call you Ghost Liners. [k] ？1：Ghost Liners? ？2：What are those? ？！ [charaFace C 1] ＠Reines In this case, I'd say they're Heroic Spirits that have made their mark on history. Just think of them as great figures and heroes of ages past. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Reines But of course, in a case involving mages and Mystics,[sr]the usual intrepid explorer approach won't cut it. [k] ＠Reines Magecraft and Mystics might adhere to a set of rules,[sr]but when you get right down to it, all bets are off. [k] ＠Reines The power of flight? Walking through walls? Playing God and making new humans out of nothing? All within the realm of possibility. [k] [charaFace C 4] ＠Reines And if that weren't bad enough, even basic rules are different depending on which magical lineage you're dealing with, so standard investigative procedures will amount to absolutely nothing in a case like this. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Reines That's why these kinds of cases aren't about the whodunit or the howdunit, since both of those can be fudged to hell and back. [k] ＠Reines No, what we need to figure out is the whydunit. [k] ？1：The whydunit? ＠Reines It's a subgenre of murder mystery where[sr]the culprit's motive plays a crucial role. [k] ？2：Like in a murder mystery. ＠Reines Exactly. They're subgenres. As you can probably guess, whodunits focus on the culprit's identity, howdunits on the tricks employed, and whydunits on the motive. [k] ？！ [charaFace C 4] ＠Reines My brother used to say that sort of thing all the time... How bitterly ironic that he'd end up the victim of one such mystery himself. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Reines We might be up against a mage, but they're still human at heart. If anything, their motive is bound to be an even greater fixation for them. [k] ＠Reines After all, you can't be a mage unless you're willing[sr]to give up everything else in your life for magecraft. [k] ＠Reines So without all that excess holding you back, your motive can't help but become pure as the proverbial driven snow. [k] ＠Reines It's a lot like being a Servant in a way. No matter how great or powerful they might be, they're still dead spirits engraved on the Throne of Heroes. [k] ＠Reines As a result, they can't help but be true to themselves. Whatever their nature[line 2]good, evil, honest, deceitful[line 2]it's still one-hundred-percent pure. [k] ？1：Completely pure in nature... ？2：So even evil people can be pure... ？！ [charaFace C 1] ＠Reines So to tie it all together, it doesn't matter[sr]who went missing, or how they went missing. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Reines What matters is WHY they went missing. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Jack We don't really get it... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Reines Don't worry, it's a lot simpler than it might sound.[sr]For now, let's just keep looking around the museum.
