And this bread is really yummy. [k] @Gareth I never used to think of eating as important before... [k] @Gareth But I thought I'd try it for myself after seeing Altria enjoying food so much, and now I can't stop! [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 9] [charaFadein C 0.1 0,-50] @Oberon Now that you mention it, you do eat a lot for a Wind clan faerie, don't you, Altria? [k] @Oberon Usually it's the Fang clan that live for food.[sr]Are you actually a Fang faerie? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Altria No, I'm just a low-class faerie. I don't even belong to any of the six clans. [k] @Altria I only got in the habit of eating because the people of Tintagel village would always give me food. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 22] [charaFadein I 0.1 0,-50] @Gareth Tintagel village! [k] [charaFace I 17] @Gareth Then, the rumors are true! You really did survive Woodwose's Child of Prophecy hunt! [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Altria Well, uh... I don't know if I'd say “survived” so much as “barely managed to escape thanks to Merlin's magecraft”... [k] @Altria I really didn't do anything all that spectacular... The whole thing's kind of become exaggerated as time goes on... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 0,-50] @Oberon By the way, Gareth: Do you know why restaurants first became popular here in Britain? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 3] [charaFadein I 0.1 0,-50] @Gareth C-come to think of it, no, I don't. Going into a restaurant was never an option for me, so... [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 0,-50] @Oberon They're not just places to eat. They're also a way for the Fang clan to keep their violent impulses in check. [k] @Oberon Woodwose made a big speech once about how, now that the Fang clan served the queen as her army, their lack of manners was unbecoming. [k] @Oberon So he said he would give them a proper education, and teach them to satiate their desires with meals. [k] @Oberon At some point, that first restaurant he started blew up into a major chain... [k] @Oberon And now, owning a restaurant is considered one of the hallmarks of success here in the land of the fae. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-50] @Altria So, the reason Woodwose is so particular about etiquette and dressing like humans is[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 0,-50] @Oberon Yup. It's all to cover up his own violent nature. [k] @Oberon He might act like a gentleman now that he's the head of the Fang clan, but at his core, he hasn't truly changed. [k] @Oberon He's still a brutal and greedy faerie who gets his kicks from tormenting the weak. If that doesn't sum up the whole Fang clan, I don't know what does. [k] @Oberon Still, now that the Tam Lin are the queen's most valued fighters, he's settled down into just being an old faerie who wields his authority like a club. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 8] [charaFadein I 0.1 0,-50] @Gareth So, does that mean he's not all that strong? [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 0,-50] @Oberon That's right. At this point, he's just an old faerie. You all are definitely stronger, since you managed to defeat the Dracae. [k] @Oberon So once you eventually get around to defeating Woodwose, you should take the chance to go to one of his restaurants. [k] @Oberon I've only been a few times myself, but I can tell you[sr]their food is to die for. Especially the salads. [k] @Oberon After all, even warriors need rewards to keep themselves motivated. So I hope that gives you guys something to look forward to as you help Altria out.

[k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaFace B 24] @Da Vinci So, as you can probably guess, the reason I'm talking to you over here is because I'd rather they not hear what I'm about to say. Although... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 16] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa What, is there a problem with me being here? I'm technically a Proper Human History Servant too, you know. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 14] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Oh, all right...[sr]Maybe it's better if you hear this too, Muramasa. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci So, getting back to where we left off in our discussion of the Dracae from Proper Human History... [k] @Da Vinci The reason they drag men into rivers in our world isn't because they want husbands. It's because they want a mate. [k] @Da Vinci If they come across a woman instead, they make her serve as their child's wet nurse. [k] @Da Vinci And that means[line 2] [k] ?1:They wanted babies, not lovers... ?2:They wanted to have children... ?! [charaFace B 24] @Da Vinci Basically, yes. But the Dracae here in Faerie Britain can't have children... [k] @Da Vinci ...even though they dragged countless men down to their doom. Do you know why that is? [k] ?1:...Is it because babies don't exist here? ?2:Because children just aren't born here? ?! @Da Vinci Looks that way, but the problem goes even deeper. [k] @Da Vinci We've seen that faeries here basically just imitate human society... [k] @Da Vinci So we can assume that the two species' ways of life are fundamentally the same. [k] @Da Vinci If faerie society doesn't have something, that'll be because it doesn't exist in human society, either. [k] @Da Vinci And that means...humans in Faerie Britain have no natural means of reproduction. [k] @Da Vinci There is no concept of childbirth here. [k] @Da Vinci I had a feeling something was off when we learned that they only have predecessors and successors here, instead of parents and children, but now, I'm pretty certain. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 18] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa Wait, wait, hold on. I get that faeries spring up on their own. They've always been like extensions of nature. [k] @Senji Muramasa But how the hell are humans born if they can't reproduce on their own here? Don't tell me they just spring into existence on their own, too? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 24] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci No. Here, humans are produced. [k] @Da Vinci I don't know if it involves some kind of artificial insemination system, or if they're manufactured like homunculi... [k] @Da Vinci But however they're made, they're produced, raised, and shipped out as individuals, with nothing in the way of parents or siblings. [k] @Da Vinci I'm sure they still have things like marriage[line 2]husbands and wives[line 2]but even if two humans get married, they'll never be able to produce their own descendants. [k] @Da Vinci So that's what human life is like here in Faerie Britain, it seems. [k] @Da Vinci It may seem cruel and inhumane to us, but for faeries who live here, like Altria and Gareth, it's just another ordinary fact of life they've probably never questioned. [k] [charaFace B 14] @Da Vinci At this point, I have no way of telling why things turned out that way here... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci But I didn't want to tell you while Altria and Gareth were around in case it came as a shock to you and made things awkward around them. [k] @Da Vinci So that's why I decided to keep this information just among us. [k] ?1:...I'm okay. It's just...a lot to take in... ?2:...So humans only ever know one generation here... ?!

Sorry about that. [k] @Oberon How are things in Norwich? Does it look like the calamity will start tomorrow? [k] @A:Blanca ... [k] [charaFace C 4] @Oberon Still no sign... Then we should be just in time. [k] @Oberon Looks like there really is no changing Ainsel's prediction after all. [k] @Oberon “On the other hand, it's also plausible that disaster won't befall Norwich until the Child of Prophecy goes there,” huh. [k] @Oberon Once Altria arrives, Norwich will be destroyed.[sr]I knew that, and I brought her here, anyway. [k] @Oberon Altria will dispel the calamity, and live with the responsibility for Norwich's destruction. [k] @Oberon ...What a cowardly, devious guide I am. I can't even help them prepare for what they're about to go through. [k] @Oberon ...But, they have to get through this, or nothing will ever change. [k] @Oberon After all, the prophecy is clear that the first bell to be rung in the pilgrimage is Norwich's. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Oberon Okay, thanks, Blanca. Why don't you rest up, too?[sr]You must be exhausted. [k] @A:Blanca ... [k] @C:Oberon No, I'm not going to tell them[sr]it's impossible to save Norwich. [k] @C:Oberon [%1] doesn't need that on [&his:her] shoulders.[sr] Better I carry the extra baggage than burden [&him:her][sr]with it. [k] @C:Oberon Don't worry about it too much, Blanca.[sr]This is all in line with the prophecy. [k] @C:Oberon Besides, it looks like we still have a whole day until the calamity begins, right? [k] @C:Oberon Both [%1] and Altria will need some[sr]positive memories before it all starts. [k] @C:Oberon So tomorrow, they'll relax and enjoy everything Norwich has to offer. The next day, the fighting will commence. [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_11 2.0] [wait fade] [wt 0.5] [soundStopAll] [end]
