[k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone And I do also feel like it would be wrong to impose my Ooku's customs on women from different cultures, especially when they're here to help in our hour of need. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone So, it's all right. Yes, please don't worry about it. [k] [charaFace C 8] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone ...I am still concerned about the effect this could have on the young pages' education, should we happen to run into any of them here...

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mata Hari Really? That's amazing![sr]Do you think you could tell me what's going on too? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 7] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara ...I have no special knowledge, personally. Kama was quite clear with us about how this labyrinth works. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara It just stood out to me more[sr]by virtue of my being a nun. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Sessyoin Kiara If we continue on from the precepts against killing and falsehoods, then I think this floor's theme...is the precept against intoxication. [k] ?1:Huh? ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_81 0.1] [charaFace F 0] @Sessyoin Kiara Kama mentioned those first two herself. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara It should be safe to say that these are[sr]the themes of each of the Ooku's floors. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Themes, you say? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara Yes. Each is the name of one of Buddhism's five precepts[line 2]doctrines that describe things one must not do if one wishes to attain enlightenment. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara Fusesshoukai is the precept against killing. Fumougokai is the precept against lying. And Fuonjukai is the precept against drinking alcohol. [k] [charaFace F 7] @Sessyoin Kiara So, if we keep that in mind, and think back[sr]to what we've done on each floor so far... [k] @Sessyoin Kiara ...You should clearly see that thinking at[sr]work in designing this version of the Ooku. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Pārvatī Um, let's see... What did we do so far... [k] @Pārvatī On the first floor, we just fought those attendants.[sr]Most of them weren't very strong, though. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami Hearing that brings to mind the fact that even if these attendants are inhuman dolls, destroying one could be construed as killing. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Pārvatī On the last floor, we had to first lie to ourselves about wanting to move forward, then follow paths in places that falsely presented themselves as dead ends... So now, on this floor, we have to drink alcohol to progress...? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mata Hari I'm afraid we've already forgotten what our goal was earlier in trying to get you guys to drink, but... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Scheherazade Yes, I think I can still vaguely remember that...we were trying to bring you somewhere... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara I still can't say with any certainty whether becoming intoxicated is necessary to penetrate to the next floor, but if it is... [k] @Sessyoin Kiara ...that would mean this Ooku wants us to[sr]proceed by breaking these precepts, no? [k] ?1:Y-yeah, you might be right! ?! @Sessyoin Kiara By that token, it would be impossible for us to proceed if we DO follow these precepts. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara So, applying that rule to our current situation would[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami ...Would mean Master's current poor condition is a result of [&him:her] coming this far without imbibing. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mata Hari That definitely sounds plausible. Though it does feel[sr]counterintuitive to think [&he:she]'s getting a hangover[sr]because [&he:she] HASN'T been drinking. [k] @Mata Hari Though if that is the case, [&his:her] condition might[sr]get worse and worse the further we progress. [k] @Mata Hari In the worst-case scenario, [&he:she] might no longer be[sr]able to stand, or start gushing blood from [&his:her] eyes[sr]and nose. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Scheherazade That's awful.[sr][&He:She] could end up dead...! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara I am uncertain why these are the constraints by which we are bound here, but if Kama did build the Ooku with them in mind, she must have had a reason for doing so. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara If that is true, then I thought it might be dangerous to simply go along with whatever she has planned. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara That is why I declined their invitations earlier. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Sessyoin Kiara But we absolutely cannot let Master die. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara I know it is dangerous to have [&him:her] drink to the point[sr]of intoxication, as there is no telling what might happen, but we may also have no alternative... [k] ?1:I can handle a headache. [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Scheherazade No, you mustn't! Headaches tend to be a sign of a much more serious condition! At the risk of repeating myself, you could end up dead...! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:Well, there's a bottle of sake right there. Bottoms up? [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mata Hari Oh no you don't! [k] @Mata Hari It's too dangerous to just go along with our enemy's plan, especially when we still don't know what her goal is. [k] @Mata Hari Times like this, our best bet is to stall and look for another way out. What do you think pillow talk is for? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?! [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Pārvatī Maybe there's another way? One where we can safely make our way through without playing into Kama's hands? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mata Hari If there is, I'm not seeing one. Hmm... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] [charaFace A 5] @Mata Hari ...Mm? [k] [charaFace A 1] @Mata Hari Wait, I just got an idea![sr]Master, do you mind if I try a little experiment? [k] ?1:What'd you have in mind? ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_82 0.1] [charaFace A 0] @Mata Hari I don't know if this will work, but... [k] @Mata Hari When you think about it, what does[sr]it really mean to be intoxicated? [k] @Mata Hari I mean, some people can feel tipsy without[sr]having so much as a drop of alcohol, right? [k] @Mata Hari So I thought I'd try to replicate[sr]that with my Noble Phantasm. [k] ?1:Your Noble Phantasm? You mean... ?! @Mata Hari That's right. The one that shares my name.[sr]It's a brainwashing Noble Phantasm. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Scheherazade I see. So, since Master is unable to[sr]become intoxicated through drinking... [k] @Scheherazade ...you want to use your Noble Phantasm to[sr]replicate an intoxicated state in [&his:her] mind. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mata Hari Right.

[charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sessyoin Kiara So you've helped Master become intoxicated without so much as a drop of liquor... Perfect!
