[k] [charaFace A 6] @Prison Guard Nightingale 701, newcomers, I don't know what sort of sport you were engaging in here, but it looks to be incredibly dangerous. [k] @Prison Guard Nightingale I want you to stop it right now, then let me examine you. [k] @Prison Guard Nightingale If any of you are injured...I will have you come to the infirmary immediately. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Prison Guard Nightingale Don't worry. My infirmary is far stricter about keeping patients in bed than solitary confinement. [k] @Prison Guard Nightingale It's also far more effective than the scaffold at silencing patients' screams. Now, let's take a look at you, shall we? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Gorgon ...Tch, I hate dealing with her.[sr]I suppose we'd better call it a day.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Prison Guard Nightingale Is that true?[sr]I'm glad to hear it.

[k] @Mysterious Racer X In fact, it looked to me like you didn't even[sr]care if you died while you were fighting us. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon My, my. Here I took you for a Berserker,[sr]but it seems you're not as dumb as you look. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Gorgon You're right. I WAS fighting in desperation. I was determined to not let the battle end until I was dead. [k] @Gorgon In fact, didn't you see me disappear while we were playing? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Helena ...Yes, we did.

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Minamoto-no-Raikou ...Because that was merely a copy. In fact, we're speaking to a copy of you even now, aren't we? [k] [charaFace E 7] @Minamoto-no-Raikou Your real body is being kept somewhere else. You yourself are nothing more than a projection of sorts, an extension of your real self. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon Well, well. I thought you were nothing but a bunch of fools, but it seems there's at least one woman of proper lineage among you. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Gorgon ...Though I can't say I am a fan of that lineage being tied to some god of thunder or other. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Gorgon Well, no matter. It did keep me occupied for a while.[sr]So, what is it you want to know? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Helena Anything you can tell us about this prison, of course.[sr]Especially the outer barrier.

Not the plan itself, mind you, but what will happen afterward. [k] @Gorgon That should certainly keep things interesting. Very well, then, feel free to ask me whatever you like about this place.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon It's a very powerful construct.[sr]It is as important to Medb as Connacht itself. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 10] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] [wt 0.2] @Altria Alter ...In theory, the barrier would disappear if we were to kill her, but that would be quite difficult for us to do now, as this place denies us our power... [k] [charaFace C 11] @Altria Alter Even if Master were to attack her outside of the prison, it would all be for naught if she managed to run back inside.

Let me ask you this: What could we do that'd give us the best shot of getting outta here? [k] [charaFace G 11] @Oda Nobunaga I mean, aside from serving out sentences,[sr]however long those would be! [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon If we're speaking strictly of possibilities, then your best option...is to break out of this prison yourselves. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Helena In other words, we're right back where we started, huh. Well, I suppose it's sort of reassuring to know that it's the only option we have. [k] @Helena But how are we supposed to do that with the barrier you told us about keeping us trapped in here? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 7] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon Well, as it happens, it is the ONLY thing keeping you trapped in here. [k] @Gorgon You see, Medb is so supremely confident in her Prison Field that she's failed to pay attention to anything else. [k] @Gorgon And that means she still has blind spots. [k] @Gorgon If you could find a gap in the barrier...somewhere it doesn't reach, or maybe just a route the wardens would never expect you to take, then maybe, just maybe... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Fran Oh! We could escape?

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon So you have hope now? Good. [k] @Gorgon I don't have any hope of breaking out of here myself,[sr]but watching you all try should be interesting.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Gorgon I'm being kept in a special kind of solitary confinement cell. It's rare that I even get to send a copy of myself out into the courtyard like this. [k] @Gorgon I doubt I'll ever see you all again,[sr]but I'm sure I'll hear rumors of your exploits. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Gorgon Good luck against Medb. I hope you cause her all sorts of trouble. All the commotion should keep me amused down in my dungeon for a bit at least.

[k] @Mash So, instead of trying to destroy the barrier, we need to find a crack in it and break everyone out, right? [k] @Ishtar Right. So, now that that's settled,[sr]let's go ahead and take care of business. [k] @Ishtar First, I'll link up the visual feed from each of my other avatars to the racing stadium screen, so that everyone can see what's going on inside the prison. [k] [charaFace B 6] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_4 1.5] @Mash Huh!?[sr]Why would you do that? [k] [charaFace A 4] @Ishtar Oh, c'mon. Isn't that obvious? The Ishtar Cup isn't over!

[k] [charaFace A 0] @Ishtar This may be a surprise, and not the way we wanted things to go, but c'mon, let's make some lemonade here! [k] ?1:Make lemonade, huh? ?2:Always trying to turn a dollar... ?! [charaFace A 2] @Ishtar You got it. When you get down to it, life's a competition. Why should a prison break be any different? [k] [charaFace A 1] @Ishtar I'm not letting all the hard work I've put into this ritual so far go to waste. If anything, I'm more determined than ever! [k] [charaFace A 0] @Ishtar So here's what we'll do: I'm gonna get each team try to escape before the others. [k] @Ishtar Once they're out, I'll have each team reacquire their vehicles from the warehouse outside the barrier, get back to the course, and burn rubber for the finish line! [k] @Ishtar Admittedly, I'm not quite sure where this'll go, but I'll make sure that the time it takes each team to escape is reflected in their final results. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Ishtar Oh, and make sure you all get back to the race with your original vehicles, right? I won't accept any replacements.
