[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Oh? Is that how I came off? [k] [charaFace B 1] @Columbus Sorry 'bout that. It's been so long since I came to Master's room, I must've been more nervous than I thought. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash (I wouldn't really say that expression looked at all nervous...) [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Anyway, I didn't realize you were here too, girly.[sr]...Hope I'm not interrupting anything. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash N-no, you're not. Senpai and I were just enjoying a hot drink together, like we usually do...! [k] [charaFace A 1] @Mash Today we're having hot cocoa. Would you like a cup too, Columbus? It really warms you up. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus ...Cacao, huh... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash You don't care for cocoa? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus No, it's not that. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Columbus It's just that every time I see it,[sr]I'm reminded of the huge opportunity I missed. [k] @Columbus I never even realized it until someone[sr]else told me what I'd passed up... [k] ?1:But aren't you the one who made cacao popular? ?! [charaFace B 4] @Columbus Exactly. [k] @Columbus Sure, I was the one who first brought cacao beans back from the New World, but I didn't really have any idea what they might be for. [k] @Columbus They didn't catch on as sweets until years later.[sr]Ugh, even today it kills me to think about it. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Columbus 'Course that was all a long time ago, but still... [k] @Columbus ...I smell an opportunity to make big[sr]cacao money here in Chaldea, too... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Columbus But I digress. I'm here 'cause I got[sr]a little favor to ask you, Master. [k] ?1:You don't say... (Suspicious stare) ?2:A favor, huh? (Suspicious stare) ?! [charaFace B 1] @Columbus C'mon, don't give me that look! [k] @Columbus I don't know what shenanigans any other versions of me might've gotten up to, but I'm your faithful Servant. [k] [charaFace B 11] @Columbus ...So long as you assign me the[sr]right kinds of work, that is. [k] [charaFace B 9] @Columbus I always get a thrill whenever I help[sr]you open the door to the treasury. [k] ?1:I had a feeling that might be the case. ?2:Good to have you on board...I think. [charaFace B 10] @Columbus No problem. There's nobody better at[sr]collecting shiny baubles, you know! [k] ?! [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_7 0.3] [wt 0.4] [bgm BGM_EVENT_2 0.1] [charaFace B 0] @Columbus Anyway, getting back on track...here's what I had in mind. [k] @Columbus There's a whole boatload of Servants here in Chaldea besides me, right? [k] @Columbus Some of them have invited me to join their clubs,[sr]and I've been meaning to turn them all down. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Columbus But for some strange reason, people keep[sr]taking what I say and do the wrong way. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash I see... I can't imagine why... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus I'm not trying to offend anyone by turning them down, but I might be coming off harsher than I mean to... [k] @Columbus ...and ruffling the rest of[sr]Chaldea's feathers as a result. [k] @Columbus Since you're our Master, I'm hoping you[sr]can help me put a stop to all of that. [k] ?1:Okay...but what exactly did you have in mind? ?! [charaFace B 1] @Columbus Don't worry, it's easy. [k] @Columbus All you have to do is be there with me, and throw[sr]me a lifeline if things start going off the rails. [k] @Columbus You're a special [&guy:gal] to all us Servants, after all. [k] @Columbus Just having you there for these sorts of conversations will make a world of difference. [k] @Columbus If you've got time to spare, Mash, it'd be great to have you around too. You know pretty much every Servant here, don't you? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Well, sure, I don't mind coming along. [k] @Mash But, I'm curious: Why are you turning these invitations down in the first place? [k] @Mash From what I know about these clubs, they just appear to be a way for their members to get to know each other better. [k] @Mash Is turning down an invitation[sr]to one really such a big deal? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus No, no, it's not. And I know that.[sr]There's no greater point to this or anything. [k] @Columbus It's really just a me thing.[sr]I just figure it's better to be true to myself. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Columbus ...Hey, let me ask you two something:[sr]What word would you say best defines who I am? [k] ?1:Huh? Well, I'd say you're... ?2:(Good question...) ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Uh, that's hard to say. Maybe an adventurer?[sr]Or an explorer? You could also go with captain... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Haha, don't worry about answering.[sr]I think you get my point. [k] @Columbus Now let's go pay this first club a visit.[sr]Hopefully they're the understanding types.

[k] @Anne If it's a pirate's life for you, this is the closest you'll get to it here in Chaldea! [k] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 1] [charaFace D 1] @Anne & Mary Welcome to the Pirate Club! [k] ?1:Pirate Club...!? ?2:Four words: Pirates of the Chaldean... ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Hey there, ladies. For the moment, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the invite. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Columbus Is it just the two of you in this club?[sr]What about that Brit...uh, Francis Drake, I think? [k] @Columbus I could've sworn I saw her name on the invitation too. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary Of course Captain Drake's a member.[sr]She's just sleeping off a hangover. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Anne Sorry to disappoint you if you were looking forward to meeting her. But hey, since you're joining, you'll have plenty more chances to meet her! [k] [charaFace D 4] @Mary Oh, wait. Didn't Captain Drake kick[sr]the crap out of the Spanish Armada? [k] @Mary Did you actually want to avoid her, not meet her? [k] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus No, no, nothing like that. I don't know how she feels about international relations, but I couldn't care less. [k] @Columbus Besides, she just handed España's asses to them 'cause England paid her good money for it. It's not as though she sold her soul to queen and country or anything. [k] @Columbus Still...haha, I bet it'd be a lot of fun[sr]to join her in drinking the night away. [k] [charaFace B 12] @Columbus There's no telling what might happen,[sr]if you get my drift... Hehe, hehehe... [k] ?1:Columbus. Columbus! You're doing it again! ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 15] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash U-um, could I ask you a question!? [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash I'm not at all surprised that you two[sr]would want to form a pirate club... [k] @Mash ...but what sort of activities[sr]did you have in mind for it? [k] @Mash I mean, there's no way to get to the[sr]ocean from Chaldea without Rayshifting. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary We know. That's why we wanted to at least carve out a space here where pirates can feel like themselves. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Anne Maybe some kind of mock tavern, where pirates can swap tales of their voyages over mugs of beer? [k] [charaFace C 1] @Anne It wouldn't matter what the tales are about. They could be about foolish mistakes, daring exploits, reliving the good old days... [k] [charaFace D 0] @Mary And of course, if any members have any leads on new treasure, they could choose to share them[line 2]or not[line 2]and compete with each other to see who could find it first. [k] @Mary That's the sort of piratey club we've got in mind. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash I, uh...I see... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary Anyway, thanks for coming, Christopher Columbus.[sr]We're happy to have you. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Anne In a sense, we have you to thank for discovering the Caribbean and helping us get started with our own adventures. [k] @Anne You're like our granddaddy's granddaddy when it comes to the seven seas. We'd love to hear all about your voyages. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Well, uh... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Columbus This is hard for me to say, but I didn't come here to accept. I'm sorry, but I can't join your club. [k] @Columbus I had Master and Mash come[sr]along to mediate all of this. [k] ?1:So he says, anyway. ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary What!? Aw, come on! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Besides, what do you even need me for? I'm not the only sailor here. What about, say, Blackbeard? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary Are you nuts!? We blacklisted that perv from day one! He's never, ever getting into this club! [k] [charaFace C 4] @Anne In fact, that might actually be one of the reasons why we want you to join. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash What do you mean? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Anne Well, we're thinking Blackbeard[sr]may put his own club together. [k] @Anne He might be a super-perv, but I guess he's first a first-class pirate. He really is an ultra-perv though. [k] ?1:(I guess once wasn't enough.) ?2:From super, to ultra...! ?! [charaFace D 5] @Mary Besides, Chaldea could easily end up summoning other pirates in the future, right? [k] @Mary If one of them was that coward, Calico Jack Rackham, or Captain Kidd, or that hottie Bartholomew... [k] @Mary ...they might end up siding with Blackbeard,[sr]much as saying so kills me. [k] [charaFace C 2] @Anne Yeah! So we need to grab as many capable sailors for our club while we can. [k] @Anne Having Captain Drake and Christopher Columbus in our club would absolutely give us the edge in both skill and popularity! [k] @Anne In other words, having you two here means the seas of Chaldea would be ours! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Well, hang on now. For one thing, you've got the wrong idea about something real fundamental.

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Are you sure you'd call me a pirate?[sr]'Cause I really wouldn't. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary Wh-what do you mean!? [k] @Mary You find unexplored islands and plunder them for all their worth! Of course you're a pirate! [k] [charaFace C 5] @Anne Besides, didn't you used to sail on a corsair when you were young? Pretty piratey, I'd say. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Hmm, hm hm. I'll give you the[sr]bit about the corsair, yeah. [k] @Columbus But that's exactly why I've got no choice but to spell this out for you now. [k] @Columbus Unlicensed piracy is, by definition, a criminal act. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Anne & Mary ...Huh? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus That's why I've gotta turn you down. [k] @Columbus I don't wanna give people the wrong idea by joining a pirate club when I was never a pirate. [k] @Columbus Plus, I don't want to be arrested when I didn't do anything wrong. [k] [charaFace B 13] @Columbus Happened to me before, you know. I wasn't engaging in piracy or anything, but they still tossed me in jail. [k] @Columbus Even now, I can't help but cry when I think back to how they clapped me in irons... [k] @Columbus I was just trying everything I could to keep the colonies under control, you know? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 -41,17] [charaFace D 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 70,-10] @Mary Th-that's what you're afraid of? Chains!? No pirate worth her salt would even bat an eye at that! [k] @Mary Now what do we do, Anne? I thought Columbus was the granddaddy of all pirates, but it turns out he's a total yellowbelly! [k] [charaFace C 5] @Anne I get the sense he's taking some liberties with his story here, but never mind that! [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_7 0.3] [wt 0.4] [bgm BGM_EVENT_3 0.1] @Anne I think in this case...the right thing to do here is to give him a proper flogging, true pirate style. [k] @Anne I think they call it shock therapy these days? That way, we'll have the Columbus we've been looking for. [k] @Anne Maybe then, he'll snap out of it and be the pirate granddaddy he's meant to be! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Columbus Oh, so you're not gonna let me turn this down politely, huh... Sheesh. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Columbus Sorry for the trouble, Master, but this is where you come in. Thanks for helping out with the mediation!
