[k] @Altria She just up and left after telling us she was Percival's sister... [k] ?1:She's clearly the type who just says what she wants and leaves. ?2:So the strongest human and the strongest faerie are siblings! Wow! ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 9] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa Percival kept this pretty close to the chest... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 25] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci I don't think he was hiding it from us. There was just never any reason to bring it up. [k] @Da Vinci Is this something most people in[sr]Britain know about, Altria? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria No, not at all. In fact, I don't think most people would believe it if we told them. [k] @Altria I can barely believe it, and I just heard it straight from Lancelot! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa Then I guess Percival wants to keep it a secret. [k] @Senji Muramasa It'd probably be hell on the Round Table Army's morale to know their commander is actually Lancelot's brother. [k] @Senji Muramasa But that oblivious Tam Lin just spilled the beans like it was nothing... [k] [charaFace B 14] @Senji Muramasa I swear, Tam Lin just seem to go around doing whatever the hell the want, all the time, don't they? [k] ?1:So, what do we do now? ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 30] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria It's not a big deal.[sr]I think we can just keep this to ourselves. [k] @Altria It's not as though Percival and Lancelot are in contact, and it's not our place to comment on their relationship as siblings. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa G-got it. If you're okay with that,[sr]we don't mind keeping it quiet... [k] @Senji Muramasa I still don't get how they can be siblings at all when Percival's human and Lancelot's a faerie. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria It's not uncommon for faeries to adopt humans as their children. [k] @Altria So I'd guess Lancelot and the faerie who took in Percival are old acquaintances. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 25] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci ...Well, this explains why he didn't[sr]want to go near Salisbury.

That's right, I'm talking to you. [k] @Faerie Guest One of the Tam Lin said they wanted to talk to you out on the terrace. Get out there, and fast. Make sure you're on your best behavior too. [k] [messageOff] [se ad95] [charaFadeout E 0.4] [wt 0.6] [seStop ad95 0.5] ?1:Me? ?2:They really want to see me? ?! [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 23] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Well, you are the only human here, so. [k] @Da Vinci What're you going to do?[sr]Are you going to see what she wants? [k] ?1:As long as all of you come with me. ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Of course. Even with Murian's rules in place, this is still enemy territory. [k] @Altria And the terrace is a private area, so no other faeries will bother us there. It's perfect for clandestine conversations. [k] @Altria I guess Lancelot must have more she wanted to ask us about after all. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa Fine with me.

We haven't seen you since that night in the Welsh forest. [k] @Da Vinci We also have no idea what kind of disciplinary measures you had to face afterwards. [k] @Da Vinci If you have something you want to say to us, why don't you start with that? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 10] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest ... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 23] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Hm? What is it, Barghest?[sr]Is this for [%1]'s ears only or something? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 9] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest No, not exactly... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria It's not that, Da Vinci. You just captivate her. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Altria Come on, Barghest, spit it out already! We don't have all night here! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest I know. I'm a busy woman myself, so I'll keep this brief. [k] @Barghest Da Vinci, was it? I'm currently confined to my territory, and I've been relieved of my duty to protect Britain. [k] @Barghest Consequently, I have no reason to raise a hand to the Child of Prophecy now. [k] @Barghest I wasn't even planning to attend this ball at all, until I realized I might see you all here. [k] @Barghest So I swallowed my pride and came here to speak with you. Does that answer your question? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Sure does. I know you don't mean us any harm right now, but I had to be sure, you understand. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest Pay it no heed. You're the foreign mage's advisor.[sr]I understand you had to ask. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Barghest ...Now, here is my question for you. [k] @Barghest I'd like you to tell me whatever you can about the outside world[line 2]about Proper Human History. [k] @Barghest High Queen Morgan has given me a broad overview, but I still know nothing of its history, or what things are truly like there. [k] @Barghest I would like to know if you are actually merciless arbitrators, barbaric invaders... [k] @Barghest ...or well-meaning visitors who truly[sr]wish to know our history. [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 1.0] [bgm BGM_EVENT_139 1.0 0.4] [wait fade] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 2.0] [fadein black 1.0] [bgm BGM_EVENT_139 1.0 1.0] [wait fade] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci ...And there you go. That's all I can tell you in the limited time we have. [k] [charaFace C 25] @Da Vinci Our battles in the Lostbelts have been to reclaim our history and our future. [k] @Da Vinci This place isn't our target now, but it is still a Lostbelt that will eventually need to be pruned. [k] @Da Vinci But that doesn't mean we have any issue with this Lostbelt's inhabitants, or that we want to erase its history. [k] @Da Vinci Even though this may be a zero-sum game where only a Lostbelt or Proper Human History can ultimately survive... [k] @Da Vinci ...that's an issue between worlds, not residents. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest Is that how you feel too, [%1]? [k] ?1:(Nod) ?! [charaFace D 1] @Barghest ...I see. You truly are a young [&man:lady] of integrity,[sr]aren't you? [k] [charaFace D 0] @Barghest In that case, let me now ask you this: Do faeries exist in Proper Human History as well? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Yup. Life isn't exactly easy for them, but we do still have fairies in Britain's woods. [k] @Da Vinci There are also fairies in Ireland, the Isle of Skye, and France just across the channel. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest Ireland? Skye? France? I-I see. All right, setting those questions aside for later... [k] [charaFace D 0] @Barghest What about calamities, and mors? Do those exist, too? [k] ?1:Nope, we don't have anything like those there. ?! [charaFace D 1] @Barghest ...What a peaceful world yours must be. I envy the faeries who inhabit it. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_139 2.0] [charaFace D 0] @Barghest ...Okay, then, let's say, strictly hypothetically... [k] [charaFace D 9] @Barghest ...What if we were to... [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] [charaFaceFade D 19 0.2] @Barghest ...No. Never mind. That would be asking far too much. [k] [charaFaceFade D 0 0.2] @Barghest I've learned what I wished to know. My apologies for taking up your time. [k] ?1:... [messageOff] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 30] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] [wt 1.2] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Why? It's not asking too much at all. You want to talk about the possibility of moving to Proper Human History, right? [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout C 0.1] ?2:Yes, Barghest. You could move to Proper Human History. [messageOff] [charaFadeout D 0.1] ?!

[k] [charaFace D 8] @Barghest ...How did you know? I didn't think that would even occur to you. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Oh please, it wasn't hard to figure out. And I have no doubt [%1] feels the same after talking to you. [k] @Da Vinci Barghest, you've always seemed more focused on protecting the faeries of Britain than the land itself. [k] @Da Vinci The whole reason you agreed to serve Morgan is because she was keeping Britain safe. [k] @Da Vinci But if she has no intention of protecting its people, you'd have to find another way to do so yourself. [k] @Da Vinci So it makes perfect sense that you'd consider moving them to a more peaceful place, like Proper Human History. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 9] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Barghest But...is such a thing even possible? The inhabitants of a Lostbelt can only survive inside their Lostbelt. [k] @Barghest And the faeries of Britain are doomed to be used and discarded as mere tools for High Queen Morgan. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci True, that was the case for the other Lostbelts.[sr]But Britain is different. [k] @Da Vinci It really is possible for you and the other faeries to exist in Proper Human History, Barghest. [k] [charaFace C 12] @Da Vinci It won't exactly be easy, of course. There are a number of major hurdles that would need to be overcome first. [k] @Da Vinci But they're nothing that can't be resolved through peaceful discussion. [k] @Da Vinci And I'm sure we could manage that as long as we have kindhearted faeries like you and Altria leading the others.

[k] [charaFaceFade D 0 0.2] @Barghest Da Vinci. [%1]. [k] @Barghest I'd like you to come to my domain, Manchester. I have a proposition I'd like to discuss with you there. [k] @Barghest ...I understand if you still can't trust me. Just hearing what you had to say has been enlightening enough.
