Now! [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_81 0.1] @Da Vinci We need to talk about the three Tam Lin that have apparently been serving High Queen Morgan this whole time! [k] @Da Vinci Also, you already knew about them, Altria!? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Well, sure. Everyone in Faerie Britain does.[sr]Why? Are they a problem? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tristan Oh yes. This is as shocking as Sir Bedivere when he first wakes up... [k] @Tristan Altria, can you please tell us everything you know about them? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Um... Okay. I guess I can cover the basics easily enough. It's stuff every faerie in Britain knows. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Altria The three Tam Lin are faeries High Queen Morgan has bestowed with names from otherworldly knights. [k] @Altria They're the most powerful beings in Faerie Britain, exceeded in magical energy only by the queen herself. [k] @Altria They're also impervious to mors corruption, so they're the ones who handle them whenever a group of mors shows up. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Altria Huh, come to think of it, they're known as the guardians of Britain, sworn to the service of the high queen: [k] @Altria The Knights of the Round Table. [k] ?1:A faerie Round Table...! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 31] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Hey, no fair! I wanted to say that first! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:Does Morgan actually like King Arthur or something? [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tristan ...No, I suspect it's little more than a sly dig. Morgan always had a gift for those. [k] @Tristan Of course, that assumes the Morgan from this Lostbelt has the same personality as the one I know. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?! [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Why? Do you all have some sort of attachment to the phrase "Round Table" or something? We ARE just talking about a circular table, right? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 14] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci ...Welp, I don't see any way around it. We're just gonna have to tell her about what happened in Proper Human History. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk depthOff] [charaDepth A 4] [charaDepth F 5] [charaDepth D 2] [charaDepth J 1] [charaDepth B 3] [charaTalk D] [charaFace A 7] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadeinFSL D 0.1 0] [charaFadeinFSR A 0.1 2] @Da Vinci Altria, our world also has a version of Morgan. [k] @Da Vinci Though in our case, it was during the fifth century, about sixteen hundred years ago. [k] @Da Vinci There was also a certain king who defeated her, thereby uniting Britain and ushering in an age of peace. [k] @Da Vinci That king was known as Arthur.[sr]But her true name was Altria Pendragon. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Altria Hey, that's my name! Quite a coincidence! [k] [charaFace D 5] @Da Vinci It's not just a coincidence.[sr]You two are most likely the same person. [k] @Da Vinci What I'm about to say may shock you,[sr]but try not to freak out. [k] @Da Vinci In our world, you were Britain's great unifier, a king loved and respected by countless knights across the land. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Altria ... [k] @Da Vinci That's right. You were the ideal king[line 2]chosen by the Sword of Selection, and trained by Merlin himself. [k] @Da Vinci You did pretend to be a man during your reign, but aside from that, you were the picture of integrity. [k] @Da Vinci As King Arthur, you commanded many lords from all across Britain. Think of them as the equivalent of Faerie Britain's six clans. [k] @Da Vinci And from those lords, you chose the finest knights to be your Knights of the Round Table[line 2]a group of warriors with no equal. [k] @Da Vinci In fact, full disclosure:[sr]Sir Tristan there is one of them. [k] [charaFace D 34] @Da Vinci So, from our perspective, knowing that the Knights of the Round Table serve Morgan here... [k] @Da Vinci ...is like learning that a group of heroes you always looked up to are now working for the baddest of bad guys. [k] @Da Vinci Can you blame us for being surprised? [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] [charaFace D 32] @Da Vinci ...?[sr]Are you listening to me, Altria? [k] [charaPutFSR F 2] [charaFadeTime F 0.3 0.6] [se ad198] @Altria ... [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] ?1:Crap! She's so shocked she froze up! ?2:I know how you must feel, Altria, but hang in there! ?!

Ahaha... [k] @Altria I guess I really am the Child of Prophecy then. [k] @Altria Part of me always thought that maybe this was all just a big misunderstanding... [k] [charaFace A 7] @Altria But now, I'm a little more willing to believe it! [k] @Altria I mean, Grandfather always said I was born at the same time as the Staff of Selection! [k] [charaFace A 1] @Altria Maybe I really can do this after all! [k] @Altria In fact, maybe I'll take a page from this, um, Pendragon person's example, and save all of Britain, too! [k] @Altria Plus, we even have a Knight of the Round Table here! [k] @Altria You know, when I first heard you shared a name with THAT Tristan, I thought you must be a pretty bloodthirsty guy... [k] @Altria But now I know you were actually a Knight of the Round Table yourself! That's so cool! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadeinFSL B 0.1 0] [charaFadeinFSR A 0.1 2] @Tristan While I'm certainly glad to hear[sr]you speak so highly of me... [k] [charaFace B 4] @Tristan What do you mean, bloodthirsty? Don't tell me the Tristan here is[line 2] [k] [charaFace A 0] @Altria She's said to be the cruelest, most short-tempered, and wantonly violent of all the Faerie Knights of the Round Table. [k] @Altria Her nicknames are "the Faerie Killer" and "Tristan of the Bloody Heel." [k] @Altria They say she's killed almost four hundred thousand faeries in the hundred years since she was appointed a Tam Lin. [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 9] [wt 1.2] [charaFace A 6] @Altria But you're nothing like her, Tristan. [k] @Altria Seeing you fight beside [%1] is kind of like, well, watching a flower dancing in a storm. [k] @Altria You always maintain your composure and strive to be gallant and do your best, no matter what the circumstances. [k] @Altria There aren't many people like that in Faerie Britain. [k] @Altria So the fact that you're putting your trust in me, even though we're from different worlds, is really encouraging. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Tristan That's... [k] [charaFace B 1] @Tristan ...Yes. [k] @Tristan Indeed, that is how I try to conduct myself. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria That said... I guess there really is more to being a Tam Lin than just the title, huh. [k] @Altria ...Hm? Hang on.[sr]You said that in your world... [k] [charaFace A 0] [charaPut J 1] [charaFadeTime J 0.2 0.5] @Altria (Tam Lin Tristan was appointed one hundred years ago, long after Tristan from Proper Human History...) [k] @Altria (So if this Tristan is the original, that would make the Tam Lin an imitation...) [k] @Altria (But that would mean... Has Morgan known about Proper Human History for more than a hundred years?)

[k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci But I think we should still be fine. Plus, we got to find out about the Tam Lin. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Da Vinci Really, if we'd run into one of them without any foreknowledge, I think I might've actually died from shock! [k] [charaFace D 32] @Da Vinci Anyway, while this Lostbelt's Tristan and Gawain may not look like the ones we know... [k] [charaFace D 26] @Da Vinci The fact that they share a name must mean they have many of the same traits as well. [k] @Da Vinci So we can expect this Sir Tristan to use Failnaught, and Sir Lancelot to wield Arondight. [k] ?1:For sure. Say, where is Tristan, anyway? ?2:Speaking of Tristan, where'd he go, anyway? ?! [charaFace D 25] @Da Vinci He's in Altria's room. Said he had something he wanted to talk to her about.

[k] @Altria Vortigern, the cowardly king. [k] @Altria The fury of Britain, and the personification of its desire to reject the Age of Humanity. [k] @Altria And then, there was the avatar of the red dragon, born and raised in stark contrast to Vortigern... [k] @Altria Altria Pendragon. [k] @Altria The king who protected the people of Britain, preserved its kingdom, and established the human world. [k] @Altria While faeries and sacrament may have faded away from Britain as a result... [k] @Altria ...her efforts did succeed at preserving British culture, and passing it on to later generations. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Altria Strength isn't what made Altria king. [k] @Altria She became king because she fought for Britain's future. [k] @Altria That's also why her knights agreed to set aside their differences and join her at the Round Table. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-50] @Tristan That's right. We all saw hope in our king. [k] @Tristan She was always coolheaded in battle, fair and impartial in politics... [k] @Tristan And above all, she truly loved all of Britain. [k] @Tristan Even with her small stature, she would face down enemies many times her size and strength without fear of injury. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Altria She, uh... She sounds like a really amazing king. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-50] @Tristan ...Indeed, she was. [k] @Tristan I have never known anyone braver, or more[sr]disciplined...or more proud. [k] @Tristan That said, even she didn't start out as a perfect king. [k] @Tristan After she drew the Sword of Selection, she trained with Merlin and Sir Kay day and night for years on end. [k] @Tristan And that is why you needn't try to rush things now, Altria. [k] @Tristan It's not a matter of you sharing a name with King Arthur. It is a matter of you sharing her vision. [k] @Tristan So please, have confidence in yourself. I know you can do this.
