I had no idea. [k] @Field Faerie I kept just asking them nicely if they would leave, but they wouldn't listen! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace E 1] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadeinFSL E 0.1 0] [charaFadeinFSR B 0.1 2] @Tristan Fields are delicate things. At times, they require bolder tactics. [k] @Tristan But I also understand and respect your kind inclination to not hurt the birds if you don't have to... [k] @Tristan So I suggest leaving a straw likeness of yourself in your field. It will help to deter such behavior. [k] @Tristan This way, the birds will mistake that likeness for you, and start by attacking that... [k] @Tristan ...which should buy you enough[sr]time to do...well, something. [k] [charaFace E 3] @Field Faerie Oh my! Really!? [k] [charaFace E 1] @Field Faerie I never would have thought of that![sr]Are you some kind of genius? [k] [charaFace B 7] @Tristan Heh. Well, I wouldn't disagree with that... [k] [messageOff] [cueSe SE_21 21_ad1067] [wt 1.2] ?1:... ?2:(Pretty sure that's not how you're supposed to use scarecrows...) ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Um... Was Tristan always like that? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 14] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Pretty much. He might seem like he's got his head on straight, but most of the time, it's actually up in the clouds. [k] @Da Vinci Still, he CAN be the perfect knight, at least as long as he has someone to keep him on track... [k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci Anyway, the caveat that they're also faerie-made imitations of human society aside, what did you think of Salisbury's fields? [k] ?1:They're very spacious. ?2:They looked completely real. ?! @Da Vinci True. Regardless of how they got there, the fields themselves are the genuine article. [k] @Da Vinci Apparently, agriculture has been a big deal up in north Britain for a long time now, but it was never too popular in the south. [k] @Da Vinci It wasn't until Aurora stepped in that Salisbury finally got serious about it. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria I've seen small fields back in my village, but I've never seen any so...big and open before! [k] [charaFace A 0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_94 1.0] @Altria I wonder why they weren't more popular up till now? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Field Faerie Well, we always had to abandon them whenever the mors showed up. [k] @Field Faerie There aren't many mors in the north, so there was nothing stopping them from making fields up there... [k] @Field Faerie But here in the south, we see mors all the time, so the only ones who could venture outside the city are really strong faeries. [k] @Field Faerie The Fang clan can apparently hold out for a little while by telling themselves that death and war are intertwined... [k] @Field Faerie But for weaker faeries like me without any astrality[line 2]general knowledge of other worlds[line 2]we can't even touch the mors without putting ourselves at risk. [k] @Field Faerie And even if the mors weren't a problem, we'd still have to remake the fields every hundred years anyway. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria ...You're talking about the calamities, aren't you? Are you scared of them, too? Even though you all live forever? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 2] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Field Faerie Of course we are! The only faeries who can survive a calamity are the ones allowed to live in Camelot. [k] @Field Faerie All the rest of us can do is suffer and disappear. There's not a faerie in all of Britain who doesn't fear the calamities! [k] [charaFace E 4] @Field Faerie I'm not even sure how much longer Lady Aurora can hold on to her glow. Not after what happened in Norwich... [k] @Field Faerie Make no mistake. Now that a calamity has come for Norwich, Salisbury has to be next. [k] @Field Faerie And when it does...not even Lady Aurora will survive. [k] ?1:So why doesn't Lady Aurora run away to Camelot? @Field Faerie She could...but none of the other faeries who live in Salisbury would be allowed to join her there. [k] @Field Faerie So she said that if her citizens couldn't come to Camelot[sr]with her, then she wouldn't be going, either. [k] @Field Faerie Of course, the high queen didn't like that... [k] @Field Faerie ...so now, Lady Aurora is also banned from Camelot. [k] ?2:What exactly do these calamities consist of? @Field Faerie ...I'm not sure.[sr]The calamities have always been undefined. [k] @Field Faerie It's said they take a different form every time they appear. [k] @Field Faerie Let's see... I think the last one was the calamity of resurrection, which erased all of Darlington. [k] @Field Faerie I don't even want to think about what kind of terrifying calamity we'll see next... [k] @Field Faerie Ahh, why did I have to be born now? Why couldn't my predecessor have held out for just ten more years? [k] @Field Faerie No, never mind that. Why won't the high queen open up Camelot to all of us? [k] @Field Faerie If she would just let us weather the calamities for a year in Camelot, we'd never have to worry... [k] ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria ...I see. So you also have grievances with the high queen. [k] @Altria You know, there have been anti-queen movements popping up around the country. If you want to protest her decisions, maybe you could join one of those? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 3] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Field Faerie Huh? [k] @Field Faerie ...N-no, I'm not THAT upset about it. Besides, I can't even imagine defying her... [k] [charaFace E 4] @Field Faerie I might be afraid of the calamities, but I'm even more afraid of the queen's army. [k] @Field Faerie There's more to the queen's power than just having enough magical energy to cover all of Britain, after all. [k] @Field Faerie She also has a troop of highly trained faerie soldiers, as well as knights under her protection who command them: [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.0] @Field Faerie Tristan of the Bewitched Bow, Gawain of the Sun, and Lancelot, the Light of the Lake. [k] @Field Faerie As long as those three Tam Lin are around, nobody can hope to defy the queen. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tristan ...Huh? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 23] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci ...Huh? [k] ?1:...What? ?!
