It's so evocative of spring.[sr]And this smell... Are those peaches? [k] @d'Eon It's like the utopia described in old eastern legends. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Ah yes, the one described in “The Record of the Peach Blossom,” written by the poet Tao Yuanming around the 5th century. [k] @Da Vinci An old Chinese story about a hunter who goes through a hole he finds in a mountain. [k] @Da Vinci On the other side, he discovers an ethereal paradise.

[k] @Rider It's in a valley surrounded by rocky cliffs on all four sides. Undiscoverable from the outside. [k] @Rider The walls are pretty much impossible to climb, and the only way in or out is that cave we just went through. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Rider We were very lucky to just happen across it.[sr]It's the perfect place for our hideout.

[seStop ad133 0.4][sr]I heard the last operation was a huge success! [k] [charaFace F 1] @Rider I don't know if I'd go that far, but we did all right. [k] @Boy Come on, you freed all the men in that town, right?[sr]How's that not a success? [k] [charaFace F 6] @Rider Haven't we gone over this before?[sr]It's about the war, not the battle. [k] @Rider Modest victories are certainly good enough for me. What matters is that we keep moving forward, even if it's just one small step at a time. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Rider That is how you can always be sure to get where you're going. [k] @Boy ...Yes, sir! [k] @Boy But I still want you to take me along to the next battle.[sr]I promise to do my best! [k] [charaFace F 1] @Rider Haha. All in good time.

Don't read too much into it. That said... [k] [charaFace F 1] @Rider I've got a soft spot for enthusiastic youngsters like that. They really do shine brilliantly when they put their minds to something. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Rider But I digress. Come on into my shack here, and I'll tell you what I can. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Fergus I don't suppose we could also impose on you for some food? [k] @Fergus I can keep going for a long time, but when I get hungry, I end up eating everything in sight. It doesn't have to be the best food, just a lot of it. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider Sure, help yourself to the peaches. For some reason, they grow all the time here, so we never run out. [k] @Rider You grow sick and tired of having nothing but peaches after a while, but at least we don't have to worry about food here in the Resistance. Haha!

(Munch, munch) [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Fergus Yes, they're delicious.[sr]They're sweet, juicy, and very filling. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Astolfo We haven't finished the official Heroic Spirits' Top Ten Sweets list, so I can't be SUPER certain... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Astolfo ...buuut, I can say for sure, way more sure than a certain sly teenaged Servant I could say...

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaEffect H bit_talk_10_LowLevel] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 14] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Everyone, I understand how you feel[line 2]and honestly, I'm a little jealous that I can't have any myself[line 2]but please, we need to focus! [k] @Mash First of all, we need to go over everything Rider told us! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 1.5] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Agreed. Let's all make sure we're on the same page here. They can listen and eat, I'm sure. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] @Da Vinci Point the first: there's no exit to the surface. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider None that we've found so far, anyway. [k] @Rider North, south, east, west, up, down, left, right... Everywhere we've looked, there's been nothing but earth and more earth. No one has found a way out. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash That prompts an obvious question.[sr]If there's no way in or out... [k] [charaFace A 12] @Mash ...how did all the Resistance members get here? [k] @Mash Everyone looks and dresses so differently, and even seems to be from different eras, so I can't imagine they grew up here. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider They didn't. Every one of them I've talked to says pretty much the same thing. [k] @Rider They say a hole suddenly opened up underneath them, and the next thing they knew, they were here. [k] [charaFace F 6] @Rider Near as I can tell, it sounds like something's abducting them from the surface and sending them here. [k] @Rider We've seen men rain down from the sky on a few occasions ourselves. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Rider There doesn't seem to be any sort of common factor in where they come from, either. They drop in from all over the place as far as we can tell. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Perhaps they have some sort of trap that uses a teleportation spell... [k] @Da Vinci ...and that's what's bringing these men to Agartha.[sr]But why? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash What can you tell us about the Amazons? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider I can't speak to the specifics, but they look to be somewhat like us[line 2]like Servants. [k] @Rider At least inasmuch as they suddenly appeared down here for some reason. Call it a hunch. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci So the Amazons most likely wound up here the same way, and have been abducting men from the surface... [k] @Da Vinci It feels like there's some sort of connection to be made there... Hm?[charaFace E 0] [k] [charaTalk G] [se ad133] [wt 1.0] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Astolfo Oh, hiii! You're that boy we saw earlier. What's up? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] [charaFadein G 0.4 1] @Boy Sorry to interrupt you and your guests, Rider! [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] [charaFace G 1] [charaFadein G 0.1 2] @Rider Don't worry about it. What's the matter? [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 0.4] [wt 0.3] @Boy It's those monsters again. [bgm BGM_EVENT_3 0.1]We're doing our best, but there's too many! Can you help? [k] ?1:Monsters? ?2:I thought this hideout was supposed to be safe. ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Rider Like I told you, it's a valley surrounded by high rocky walls. Nothing can get in here from the ground except through that cave... [k] @Rider ...but sometimes, winged creatures that can fly over those walls end up wandering in here. [k] @Rider On that note, I'd better go do some pest control.[sr]Would you all mind giving me a hand? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Fergus I'd be glad to. I'm only a fledgling, so I may not be of much help, but I'll do whatever I can. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @d'Eon I agree. I believe we should do all we can to put these people in our debt.
