[k] @Scáthach-Skadi Father-Daughter Bond, the skill she uses to fight off the evil god's influence, was temporarily weakened, and in exchange, her Item Construction skill was significantly enhanced. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Disturbing though it may be, if this is the method the evil god used to influence her, then it is well within our means to counteract. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Scáthach-Skadi I have already equipped her with a Mystic Code that should neutralize the weakening effects. Now, all we can do is wait and see what happens next.

[k] [charaFace B 11] @Mash Anyway, did I get Clytie's story right, Captain? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo Yes, that was spot-on. Thanks, Mash. [k] @Nemo When we first met Van Gogh, her flower girl motif almost immediately reminded me of Clytie, the water nymph who had a falling out with Apollo. [k] @Nemo The flower she becomes at the end of her story is called a heliotrope, which means something like, “to always face the sun.” [k] @Nemo However, later retellings often depict her turning into a sunflower instead. [k] @Nemo Of course, the Van Gogh we know also uses sunflowers prominently in a variety of ways, but so did Van Gogh the painter. [k] @Nemo He often used sunflowers in his paintings to represent the sun's warmth. In fact, some of his best-known work is actually a series of paintings titled “Sunflowers.” [k] [charaFace A 5] @Nemo On top of that, both our Van Gogh and the painter Van Gogh tended toward self-destruction. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash True. Vincent van Gogh was very intelligent, but he also struggled to manage his passions, which sometimes led to him harming himself. [k] @Mash While Clytie's story definitely shows how unrequited love can make one do foolish things... [k] @Mash ...I think the fact that her intense regrets made her turn into a flower could also be seen as her need to punish herself. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Mash When you think about it, for two Heroic Spirits with different backgrounds, and even genders, Van Gogh and Clytie do have a lot in common. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo ...I'd guess Van Gogh's Spirit Origin is actually mostly Clytie. [k] @Nemo For one thing, further analysis shows us that she has a high ranking of Divinity, something you rarely see in Servants from modern eras. [k] @Nemo At first I thought that was just because she's a Foreigner, but if she's actually a nymph directly descended from titans, that would explain it much better. [k] @Nemo Yet despite that, her memories are all Vincent van Gogh's, rather than Clytie's. [k] ?1:Which means...she must be a Phantom Spirit. ?2:Maybe she's a Phantom Spirit then? ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Lambda She could also be a High Servant. Both her Van Gogh side and Clytie side seem fairly high-ranked, after all. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo I don't know. But I do know that, unlike you and me, she's been melded together from very disparate parts. [k] @Nemo Now, she's a Heroic Spirit with the mind and body of Clytie, a female nymph, and Van Gogh, a male artist. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Nemo Her very existence is one giant contradiction.[sr]It's no wonder she's so unstable. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi Now I see. That must be what the Outer Gods are after. [k] ?1:You think so? ?! [charaFace F 0] @Scáthach-Skadi I do. I can tell. After all, in one sense, I am an “outer” god myself. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi So I can understand what they're thinking, though only up to a point. [k] [charaFace F 8] @Scáthach-Skadi When these gods set about making the Heroic Spirit we know as Van Gogh... [k] [charaFace F 0] @Scáthach-Skadi ...it must have been for the purpose of invading your world[line 2]that is, modern-day Earth. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi The way from the outer to the inner, and from void to reality, is long and treacherous. It is not the sort of path that can be crossed in a single leap. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Indeed, even the strongest of gods could die a sudden, ignominious death if they were to stumble in the wrong spot. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Scáthach-Skadi So they must have sought a place they could use as a foothold into your world, a bridgehead or outpost of sorts. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi They found one in Void Space. It is a completely unobservable zone, both next-door neighbor and distant destination to Reality Space, separated only by a thin wall of recognition. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 11] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Um, excuse me! I'm sorry for interrupting, but does that mean this mysterious enemy already knows about Void Space? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi I would think so, yes. We will need to come up with a means to counter that strategy upon our return. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Scáthach-Skadi At any rate, we now know that their plan was to send a Heroic Spirit to Void Space on an expedition to discover more of the yet unknown paradise. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi To do this, they summoned Van Gogh to the void, where she proceeded to call Hokusai here and wait for us to arrive. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi They clearly already have a means of accessing Void Space, yet instead of coming here directly, they chose to send a Heroic Spirit in their place... [k] @Scáthach-Skadi I cannot profess to know what led to that decision, but given what we know of their goal, certainly their chosen Heroic Spirit must be capable of creating the base of operations they would need. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Furthermore, if we think back on what Van Gogh has accomplished thus far, we can surmise that she was given three duties to fulfill. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Scáthach-Skadi One: requisition local personnel. Two: create a local base. And three: deify the requisitioned personnel. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 7] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Osakabehime N-now I get it. They planned to use Chaldea's Foreigners to bolster their ranks... [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi That's correct, Osakabe. I expect the cost of summoning Heroic Spirits to the void must be too great for them to amass an army that way. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi So they must have thought to take advantage of our Servant resources and our access to Void Space, which they've done quite well. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi In answering Van Gogh's call, Hokusai developed a madness of her own, warping her skills and making her amenable to the Outer Gods' desires. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Thus, once she had successfully disguised herself and stowed away aboard the Nautilus, the Outer Gods had everyone they needed. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Just as they planned, Hokusai transformed Void Space into a sea, and went on to paint trenches, battleships, and other grand works into existence. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Scáthach-Skadi Had we not stopped her, she may have eventually succumbed to her madness completely and painted a temple for these evil gods that they could use for their outpost. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi I do not know how they planned to mount an assault on Reality Space from there... [k] @Scáthach-Skadi ...but if nothing else, I expect we would have been forced to give up the Paper Moon in order to stop them. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi And that, of course, would have put an end to any hope we had of restoring Proper Human History. [k] ?1:... [charaFace F 1] @Scáthach-Skadi Hehe, now, now, none of that. This may sound strange coming from me, but now that we have come this far... [k] @Scáthach-Skadi ...I certainly have no wish to[sr]see your world come to an end. [k] ?2:Wow. I had no idea we were that close to disaster... [charaFace F 0] @Scáthach-Skadi Indeed we were. [k] ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Then the Outer Gods must have had Hokusai in their sights right from the start. So when they realized they could use her ukiyo-e connection with Vincent van Gogh to bring her here... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi Indeed. That is no doubt one reason they chose Van Gogh. But I suspect their true aim lies elsewhere. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Scáthach-Skadi Van Gogh's Noble Phantasm, The Starry Night, is a painting capable of swallowing the very world with its alternate depiction of reality. It can transform Foreigners into gods, and spread madness to all who gaze upon it. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi So once the Void Space temple was complete, they must have planned on her using her Noble Phantasm to deify the other Foreigners. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi No doubt that is the final phase of their plan[line 2]the grand mechanism through which these evil gods meant to descend upon Earth. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 2] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Yang Guifei But...but that doesn't make sense! [k] @Yang Guifei If Goghie really wanted to do that, she could have turned me into an evil god whenever she liked! But she didn't! [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi Exactly. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 5] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Yang Guifei Huh? [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi Though some types of Foreigners may be compatible with Void Space, if they should cease to be Servants... [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Or rather, if their inner Divinity were to take control of them, would they not then lose those abilities as well? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 18] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Yang Guifei ...Are you saying Goghie was going to betray us? [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi No, I am certain she had no desire to do that. Which is exactly why her Spirit Origin was melded with Clytie. [k] ?1:What do you mean? ?! @Scáthach-Skadi I too have read up on Vincent van Gogh's history. While some may call him a mad artist, I could see that deep down, he was a man of strong convictions. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Though he may well have yearned for a connection with the gods beyond the stars, he would never willingly be party to their plans once he learned they were evil in nature. [k] [charaFace F 8] @Scáthach-Skadi One need only look to the life he lived as proof. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 11] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Wait. Are you saying the reason Van Gogh took his own life was because he learned that painting The Starry Night inadvertently invited an evil god into our world? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi I am saying that if that was indeed the case, then he would be bound by a similar restriction even as a Heroic Spirit. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Vincent van Gogh would never succumb to madness[line 2]that is, the Outer Gods' influence. He would sooner take his own life. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi This must have been a great conundrum for the Outer Gods. The Noble Phantasm they desired above all others was wielded only by Heroic Spirit who would never obey them. [k] [charaFace F 5] @Scáthach-Skadi So they hatched a horrific plan: they would create their own patchwork Heroic Spirit who would meet their needs. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi They thought, “What if we were to take Vincent van Gogh's memories and talent, and give them to Clytie instead?” [k] @Scáthach-Skadi In Clytie's case, she refused to take her own life regardless of how much she loathed herself, choosing to become a flower rather than fade away. That is the crucial part. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo Then, you mean...they prevented their chosen Heroic Spirit from being able to commit suicide, as her doing so would ruin their plans!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi Correct. Do you remember? Van Gogh herself said that she wished to die, but was unable to do so. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 4] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Yang Guifei So, the Van Gogh side of her felt she should die in order to stop the Outer Gods' plans, but the Clytie side refused to allow her to do so... [k] [charaFace H 9] @Yang Guifei Poor Goghie. That's the cruelest antinomy I've ever heard... No, even without those fundamentally opposed beliefs jostling for control, the sheer discrepancy between Clytie's mind and Van Gogh's memories alone must have been so hard for her... [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi It seems the Outer Gods and madness are inextricably intertwined. Foreigners, indeed. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi With suicide no longer an option, if Van Gogh lost the battle in her mind and succumbed to the madness, then she may no longer have had any compunctions against using her Noble Phantasm. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi If that had come to pass, it would only be a matter of time until the evil gods' temple was complete, just as they planned. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash How awful...

We're agreed that she can't kill herself no matter how much she wants to, right? [k] @Lambda That means, now she's disappeared, she must be running around lost and desperate at being unable to use her last resort. [k] @Lambda The fact that she gave up on the only way left to make her wish come true by having someone else kill her may even be a sign that her madness has reached its peak.

[k] [charaFace G 3] @Osakabehime Sorry, I got so caught up in watching everything unfold that I forgot I'm actually part of it. [k] [charaFace G 1] @Osakabehime But yeah, rescuing Professor Van Gogh? That sounds awesome! I'm gonna work just as hard to make that happen as I did to make my deadline that summer!

[k] [charaFace G 9] [charaShake G 0.03 3 3 0.2] @Osakabehime Aah! Lord X-X-X-Xiang Yu!? I-I'm so s-s-s-sumimasorry about calling you “Hegemon-King”! [k] [charaFace I 4] @Xiang Yu Hm? Oh, no, I am not at all concerned about that. As all paths I take are necessary, it was inevitable that history would come to know me by that moniker. [k] [charaFace I 0] @Xiang Yu I only wish to know if the naval chart I left you was entered into the computer's mapping system correctly. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Osakabehime Uh, yes, of course. I mean, we'd never have made it this far in a million years without it. [k] [charaFace I 4] @Xiang Yu Then why are you all acting as though Clytie van Gogh's whereabouts are unknown? [k] [charaFace G 4] @Osakabehime Huh? [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk depthOn] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 16] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Yang Guifei Huh? [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo Then, does that mean this final destination here is[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Xiang Yu Indeed. I already accounted for Clytie van Gogh's disappearance in my predictions. [k] @Xiang Yu You should therefore be able to find her at that point. [k] [charaFace I 5] @Xiang Yu That said, my predictions show further conflict in the future, so I expect there will indeed be a fierce battle during the final stage of this incident. [k] @Xiang Yu I also expect that our stockpile of resources will be the key to winning this battle, so I suggest we make every effort to ensure we are sufficiently prepared. [k] ?1:Thanks, Xiang Yu! ?! [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo ...! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 4] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Xiang Yu And Captain, belated though it may be, I owe you an apology. As much as time was of the essence, it was still wrong of me to tamper with your ship without your permission. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nemo ...Don't worry about it. If you hadn't done that, none of us would be here right now. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Nemo I'm glad you're on our side, Xiang Yu! [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_82 2.0] [wait fade] [wt 0.5] [soundStopAll] [end]
