[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaPut D 1200,1200] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Paracelsus My apologies.[sr]It appears an explanation is necessary. [k] @Paracelsus Let me ask:[sr]What is chocolate production, really? [k] @Paracelsus It's the result of processing a fruit called cacao, which is transmuted into something else via heating and drying techniques and other human intervention. [k] @Paracelsus This changes its shape and aspect into[sr]something not possible in nature... [k] @Paracelsus It is, therefore, truly the work of man. [k] ?1:In other words, chemistry. ?2:In other words, alchemy. ?! [charaFace A 1] @Paracelsus Exactly. You are very quick to understand. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Paracelsus Therefore...unworthy though I may be,[sr]I have come to help. [k] @Paracelsus Different people working to produce chocolates using cacao beans will not always yield to the same results. [k] @Paracelsus The efficient refining of such materials takes skill. [k] @Paracelsus As such, my facility with alchemy[sr]may be of some use to you. [k] @Paracelsus What do you think, Master? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut D 1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash His logic is indeed quite convincing.[sr]But...what is that mysterious-looking doll? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaPut D 1200,1200] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Paracelsus It's quite simple. [k] @Paracelsus The amount of cacao beans produced will increase daily. There is, however, only one of me. If things continue as they are, I will not be able to manage matters by myself. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Paracelsus So I have created more of me. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut D 1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 14] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Wha...!?!?!? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaPut D 1200,1200] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Paracelsus It is a special homunculus given a specific set of skills for a predetermined period of time. That would be the simplest way to think of it. [k] @Paracelsus It demonstrates extraordinary talent only in the task of producing chocolate using cacao beans. [k] @Paracelsus To use more modern parlance: this is like[sr]a robot designed for a specific task. [k] @Paracelsus Hmm... Yes, that might be more appropriate.[sr]Not a genuine homunculus, but a robot. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.4 1] [wt 0.4] [charaMoveReturn C -50,-0 1.5] [wt 1.75] ?1:But isn't it moving on its own? ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Paracelsus Obviously it is capable of acting autonomously.[sr]Remote operation would be another burden on me. [k] @Paracelsus But, again, it is expressly limited in its function. [k] @Paracelsus While it can be fully entrusted with the process of chocolate production, it will not take any other commands. [k] @Paracelsus By creating more of these, I can boost[sr]the efficiency of our chocolate output. [k] @Paracelsus ...Master, I'm sorry to trouble you, but I'd like you to procure the materials necessary for that endeavor. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut D 1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Um...it looks to me like the Mini Paracel is[sr]modifying the production system on its own... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaPut D 1200,1200] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Paracelsus Correct. [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.8] [charaFace A 4] [wt 1.1] [charaFace A 0] @Paracelsus I have given it sufficient discretion to make any changes it determines would result in the more efficient production of chocolate. [k] @Paracelsus So a modification of the production[sr]system may very well be possible. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut D 1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash ...Master, Master. [k] @Mash I don't mean to be rude to Paracelsus,[sr]but I have a bad feeling about this...! [k] @Mash I'm not saying he's going to betray us or anything, but... [k] @Mash ...there is a possibility that his good[sr]intentions may cause trouble in the long run... [k] ?1:That's Paracelsus for you. ?2:We'll keep an eye on him. It'll be probably be fine... Yeah... ?! @Mash Yes. Sorry to trouble you,[sr]but please watch him carefully! [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_27 2.0] [wait fade] [wt 0.4] [soundStopAll] [end]
