[bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Yeah... It wasn't much of a discussion, was it? [k] @Altria She basically just told us we're enemies and threatened to show us no mercy if we dare to defy her... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 14] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Yup. Can't say it was a very productive talk. [k] @Da Vinci We now know that Morgan definitely sees Proper Human History as her enemy... [k] @Da Vinci And we now know that Mash is safe, but being kept in captivity somewhere. [k] [charaFace B 34] @Da Vinci But that's just confirmation of some things we already at least suspected. [k] @Da Vinci I didn't see anything that could give us any kind of clue as to how we could possibly beat her in a fight. [k] ?1:We didn't learn anything useful about the Divine Construct, either. ?! [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci Actually, we did make just a bit of progress there. [k] @Da Vinci Remember that atrium in the throne room? The one overlooking the pit? [k] @Da Vinci Well, I noticed a distinct magical energy pattern nearby; it was very similar to the Lion King's in the Sixth Singularity. [k] @Da Vinci That confirms for me that Morgan has Rhongomyniad on hand in weaponized form. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Da Vinci And not just one or two of them, either. She must have at least ten in place around Camelot's main gate. [k] @Da Vinci And with that many of them on hand, she must have already used them here several times before. [k] @Da Vinci So we can assume the one she threw at Olympus... [k] @Da Vinci ...must have been just one of several[sr]she had at the ready. [k] [charaFace B 14] @Da Vinci It would've been great if she'd been willing to sell us just one of them, but it's pretty clear that's not an option. [k] @Da Vinci So now, the only way for us to complete our initial objective of acquiring that Divine Construct for ourselves is to defeat Morgan. [k] ?1:We definitely have our work cut out for us, don't we? ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Still, at least we made it out of there safe and sound, so we also know that Queen Morgan is true to her word. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci True. Both Morgan herself, and all of Camelot, might be so stuffed with magical energy it's downright chilling... [k] @Da Vinci But she was also adamant about upholding the laws she set as queen. She didn't even listen to Beryl when he tried to break them. [k] ?1:... ?! [charaFace B 24] @Da Vinci (I know, [%1].[sr]That only makes it all the more mysterious.) [k] @Da Vinci (Beryl said he was Morgan's Master.[sr]If that's true, it would make her a Servant.) [k] @Da Vinci (But it can't be true, because she's been ruling Faerie Britain for the last two thousand years.) [k] @Da Vinci (Beryl couldn't have come to this Lostbelt any sooner than the end of 2019, just like all the other Crypters.) [k] @Da Vinci (Obviously, Morgan would have already been the queen of this land by then, so he couldn't possibly have summoned her as a Servant.) [k] @Da Vinci (So the question is, is he lying about that, or is he being made to believe it?) [k] @Da Vinci (Either way, we need a lot more information before we can draw any conclusions...)

[k] [charaFace C 12] @Gareth Welcome back, Altria! [%1]! [k] @Gareth S-so how'd the audience go!?[sr]What's Queen Morgan really like!? [k] @Gareth Was she terrifying!? Was she strong!?

[k] @Habetrot The truth is, the queen was completely ordinary.[sr]Right, Altria? Isn't that what you want to say? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Huh!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Habetrot I can tell! I'm an expert at reading fair maidens' minds, after all! Don't worry, Altria! It's okay to be yourself! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 8] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa I don't know much about how maidens think, but being yourself is good advice. [k] [charaFace E 16] @Senji Muramasa Deep down, you're a stubborn shrew with a fierce competitive streak, right? [k] @Senji Muramasa If anything, you were probably thinking something like “The queen? I could take her any day of the week.” [k] @Senji Muramasa “Give me a thousand years, and I'd probably be way stronger than her.” [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 29] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria I wasn't thinking anything of the sort!

Don't be shy! [k] ?1:Oberon! You sly dog! ?2:You were totally aiming for this, weren't you? ?! [charaFaceFade F 11 0.2] @Oberon Yup, I figured you'd be finishing up around now! [k] [charaFace F 9] @Oberon I take it your audience with the queen's all done now? I'd love to hear all about it, but first... [k] @Oberon ...we should probably get going before our presence here gives the queen's army any ideas.

[k] [charaFace G 0] @Redra Bit Once I told the faeries of Norwich I was one of the Child of Prophecy's attendants, they were delighted to absolutely pamper me. [k] @Redra Bit The Earth clan faeries whipped this armor up for me during the celebration, snort. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Altria I see. Well, that's nice!
