Hope you don't mind that I had breakfast before you! [k] @Altria You've got to try this bread! It's so soft and yummy! Apparently, they make it from, um... Oh, right! Wheat! [k] ?1:Y-you're in a really good mood this morning, huh, Altria? [charaFace A 7] @Altria Cheering myself up when I'm feeling down is my specialty! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:Is using wheat for bread that unusual here? [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 12] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Seems that way. [k] @Da Vinci Too bad, since they have some of the highest quality wheat I've ever seen, even compared to Proper Human History. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?! [charaTalk K] [charaFace K 1] [charaFadein K 0.1 1] @Pub Owner Faerie That's right! Duhbinchi taught me how to make it! [k] @Pub Owner Faerie I had no idea you could use flour like that! All this time, I've practically been sitting on a gold mine! [k] [charaFadeout K 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tristan So, this faerie lives in this grand building, but he is ignorant of the true value of flour... [k] @Tristan It seems there are significant knowledge gaps between individual faeries. [k] @Tristan Or rather[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Yup. There are basically two types of faeries: [k] @Da Vinci Those who only superficially copy human civilization, and those who are interested in its inner workings. [k] @Da Vinci Most faeries are copiers who're satisfied just playing pretend. [k] @Da Vinci The thing about faeries is, they can do anything without human technology, so they don't have to know how it works. [k] @Da Vinci You know how when cars get more reliable, there's less need for drivers to repair them... [k] @Da Vinci ...and so, over time, there are fewer drivers who know how their cars work? It's a lot like that. [k] @Da Vinci Whenever faeries feel like bread, they can just create some from their own magical energy. Easy-peasy. [k] @Da Vinci But the bread they create that way is just an imitation of bread they've had before, like it was 3D printed. [k] @Da Vinci Basically, faeries can't experience culture without some kind of originating data to work from. [k] @Da Vinci Even Mike here used to be a typical copier. [k] @Da Vinci It was only when I started working here that he began caring about the details. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk K] [charaFace K 4] [charaFadein K 0.1 1] @Pub Owner Faerie I-it's true. [k] @Pub Owner Faerie I was a real dull faerie until I met Duhbinchi. [k] [charaFace K 7] @Pub Owner Faerie But now, every day is more fun than the last![sr]I love being alive! [k] [charaFace K 0] @Pub Owner Faerie I used to think preserving humans was a waste of time, but not anymore. [k] @Pub Owner Faerie Lady Aurora was right. We need humans if we're going to enjoy our lives. [k] @Pub Owner Faerie If there's one thing humans are good at, it's making technology. They come up with all sorts of fascinating things you just don't see in nature. [k] [charaFace K 4] @Pub Owner Faerie ...Sure, some of those things aren't fun or tasty, like iron, and gunpowder... [k] [charaFace K 1] @Pub Owner Faerie But I've come to think of humans as our equals now. Heck, I'd even say I respect them! [k] @Pub Owner Faerie When the last owner left this pub to me, I thought it was going to be nothing but a pain in the neck, but now, I know better. [k] @Pub Owner Faerie We need something to live for. Something we want to do for our own sakes, not just to fulfill our purpose. [k] @Pub Owner Faerie There's no way I'm ever going back to just plain old living again! [k] [charaFadeout K 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 36] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria ... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 37] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Well, there you have it. In general, faeries are really pure of heart. Or, to put it another way, easily influenced. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk K] [charaFace K 8] [charaFadein K 0.1 1] @Pub Owner Faerie That's not true, Duhbinchi! It's all because of you! Not even Lady Aurora ever got me to change my mind like this! [k] [charaFadeout K 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Okay, Mike. In that case, maybe you could learn how to say my name properly already? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk K] [charaFace K 7] [charaFadein K 0.1 1] @Pub Owner Faerie What do you mean? I AM saying it properly. [k] [charaFace K 1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] @Pub Owner Faerie Oh, right.[sr]I've also got a message for you guys from Oberon. [k] [charaFace K 1] @Pub Owner Faerie He said to tell you to come to Salisbury's fields for an important learning experience! [k] [charaFadeout K 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Huh? A learning experience? [k] ?1:I think I know where this is going... ?2:Sounds like we've got a job to do! ?! [messageOff] [fadeout black 0.5] [wait fade] [soundStopAll] [end]
