[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin I contacted King Gilgamesh as well. I told him we could deliver the goods a day before Gorgon's attack.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Quetzalcoatl Ah, in that case, can we spare just a little time? [k] @Quetzalcoatl Since we're in Eridu... You just have to see the finest cylinder seals Eridu has to offer. [k] ?1:Cylinder seals...? ?!

It is a bit odd that I'd introduce you to this place, being a foreign deity... [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [se ad13] [charaTalk D] [communicationChara 98003003 1 5 0 0] [wt 0.3] @Dr. Roman Royal authority is “proof of kingship” as granted by the gods... Just think of it as being akin to a contract or covenant. [k] @Dr. Roman In Mesopotamia, the gods decide who will be king. One is chosen from among the rulers of the land. [k] @Dr. Roman As for the cylinder seals... [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin They're those big pillars. The seals are, as the name suggests, like one's personal seal. [k] @Merlin [%1], perhaps you used stamp-like personal seals back home? [k] @Merlin You know, a drawing carved on a block, which you then press onto ink, so you can make many copies of it onto paper. [k] @Merlin Well, in Uruk[line 2]5,000 years before your time[line 2]that type of seal was already a part of daily life. [k] @Merlin Of course, they weren't used as signatures. They were for magical ceremonies. [k] @Merlin They had tales carved into them, were dipped in mud, and were then rolled onto things. Tools for the mass production of stories, if you will. [k] @Merlin It seems the cylinder seals here are the biggest and the oldest ones of all. [k] @Merlin Let's see. You won't be able to read it like this, so let me transcribe it onto the air.

[charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin Hm... Quite a story we have here. [k] @Merlin “When a ring of light appears in the heavens, the land of Mesopotamia shall be returned to its origin.” Hm... It's a seal that predicted our current situation.

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash ...Really? But the fact that it's a sightseeing spot... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 5] @Dr. Roman Yes. Eridu is a city of the same size as Uruk. [k] @Dr. Roman To the people of Mesopotamia, the contents of this seal may be well known. [k] @Dr. Roman The people of Uruk were afraid of Tiamat because they already knew of the prophecy on this seal. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Ishtar ...I suppose so. And that Goldie established the Demonic Front, knowing the content on this seal. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Quetzalcoatl Well, I'm not one to talk since I was a part of the Three Goddess Alliance, but the people of Uruk don't know when to quit! [k] [charaFace E 0] @Quetzalcoatl But as a result, this land managed to stave off ruin for half a year, and a Master named [%1] made it in time. [k] @Quetzalcoatl And now it is my turn to reward those efforts. [k] @Quetzalcoatl I'm a flighty goddess, but I will do everything in my power to help you. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin Well. It'll be a pain if you change sides again so easily, but you are welcome as an ally. [k] @Merlin And I get why you wanted to show this to [%1]. [k] @Merlin It seems you really are a goddess who watches over human growth. Without being overprotective, you're more of a reliable older sister than mother. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 3] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Quetzalcoatl Heehee, you're embarrassing me! Actually, they did call me “Big Sis” yes!

[k] @Jaguar Warrior ...Wait a second! I just realized! Isn't this totally like a harem girls situation!? [k] @Jaguar Warrior Three goddesses, a little girl, and a kouhai! That's a really high percentage of girls. [k] [charaFace F 3] @Jaguar Warrior I wouldn't be surprised if a passionate youth event starts up one of these days. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Quetzalcoatl Ah, Jaguar, you're leaving the group. I'm appointing you supervisor of the axe-bearing winged serpents. [k] [charaFace F 2] @Jaguar Warrior Huh!? Oh, come on! You just demoted me to the B-team! I wanna be next to [%1], where the main action is! [k] [charaFace E 1] @Quetzalcoatl Heh-heh. Are you going to make me repeat myself? (Translation: Should I make you a carpet, or mount your head on the wall?) [k] [charaFace F 0] @Jaguar Warrior Okay, the winged serpents will be in good paws![sr]I'll make sure they get to Uruk in three days!

When you're on the road, the fewer rivals the better! [k] [charaFace E 0] @Quetzalcoatl Oh yes. Ishtar, you can fly too, so there's no need for you to come with us to the jungle, is there? [k] @Quetzalcoatl You should probably leave this to Ana and me, and return to Uruk ahead of us. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Ishtar No, I'm coming with you. As if I could leave a goddess alone when she obviously has an ulterior motive...

Contrary to what Jaguar Warrior said before, this is no harem... It's more like a gambling den... [k] ?1:It's been a colorful trip this time. ?2:Well, last time it was all dudes. ?! [communicationCharaFace 0] @Dr. Roman Haha, maybe this is just the universe balancing itself out. Truly, after seven searches, this kind of thing was bound to happen. [k] [communicationCharaFace 1] @Dr. Roman This is what makes journeys so much fun. In any event, it's a good thing that the final search is a colorful one. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [communicationCharaLoop 98105900 1 5 0 0] @Dr. Roman I'm certain Demonic Beasts will attack a few times before you reach Ur, but they'd be no match for you now.
