[k] @Shakespeare If we do our writing in there, we will have all the time in the world to finish our work, no matter how long a composition we create! [k] [charaFace B 1] @Shakespeare Let us go at once!

Nobody would want to read a children's story that long in any case. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Andersen I must admit, though, that should such a room truly exist, it would be tremendously beneficial to our creative endeavors. It is worth checking out. [k] @Andersen I mean, it would be awful if we passed on a chance to find the perfect retreat away from deadlines.

[k] @Amadeus There's certainly nothing wrong with having more time to work. But to be honest, I'd rather have more arms than more time.

[k] @Katsushika Hokusai I'm always coming up with new ideas in[sr]the middle of working on something else. [k] @Katsushika Hokusai It's not that I'm not focused on the painting I'm working on, but...I don't know...it's hard to explain. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Shakespeare I suppose all artists have their difficulties... [k] @Shakespeare We have learned to content ourselves with what we are given, even as we hope for more... That, I am afraid, is the nature of time. [k] @Shakespeare At any rate, this special room should be of great benefit to us, whatever our work may be. Ah, it would seem to be just over there. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Shakespeare Onward, to this new creative paradise!

[k] @Amadeus Time does indeed slow down[sr]for those inside that room. [k] @Amadeus It affects organic, inorganic, and even spiritual things like us... But only when there's chocolate involved. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Shakespeare That is to say, we will only reap said benefit if we ourselves are involved in the chocolate-making process while inside! [k] @Shakespeare I suppose things would be different if we left a conche or similar device inside, but still... [k] @Shakespeare Ugh! Honestly, what a niche topic! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 11] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Katsushika Hokusai A chocolate painting... One or two works would be fine, but it isn't interesting enough to focus on that long.

[k] [charaFace C 5] @Andersen Hmph. Still, I'll milk the room for all it's worth if I'm ever forced to write something that just so happens to be chocolate-themed. [k] @Andersen Perhaps some ridiculous sob story about a family sharing a single piece of chocolate, only to die of starvation... Though if it ever comes to that, I may lay down my pen and quit being a writer!

Well, with some Heroic Spirits using literally mounds of the stuff to make their gifts, I assumed supply and demand were at least somewhat in balance... [k] [charaFace G 4] @Da Vinci ...but it seems like things have begun to fall apart, huh. [k] @Da Vinci I'm afraid we don't have any choice but to take them all though. We don't know what sort of effect they might have on the world if left alone. [k] @Da Vinci The simplest solution would be to have Semiramis stop producing chocolate altogether... [k] [charaFace G 0] @Da Vinci So, did you manage to ask her about that? [k] ?1:Well... ?!

[k] [charaFace G 5] @Da Vinci It looks like it's time to start asking some of the questions we've avoided up till now. [k] @Da Vinci Just how much chocolate does Semiramis want to produce? And...why? To what end? [k] @Mash And how does she have that floating garden[sr]when she seems to be a Rogue Servant? [k] [charaFace A 8] @Mash These are questions that we should have asked earlier. We will need to reflect on our mistakes. [k] @Mash But in Chaldea's defense, the chocolate we were being supplied with was going to help our annual Valentine's Day celebration go smoothly. [k] @Mash That is probably why we turned[sr]a blind eye to all of this. [k] ?1:And the chocolates I filched were delicious... ?2:I was happy to see the empress smile for once... ?! [charaFace G 0] @Da Vinci It's our fault that we weren't on top of things earlier,[sr]but there's nothing we can do about that now. [k] @Da Vinci Let's focus on the matter at hand. No doubt that floating garden possesses incredible power. [k] @Da Vinci I've been looking into it, but it looks like I'm going to have to work a lot harder on my analysis. For now, I'd like you to buy me some time to keep searching. [k] @Da Vinci Not to worry. I don't see further exponential increases in chocolate production at this point. [k] @Da Vinci For the time being, continue helping out the empress.[sr]We still don't have any proof that her motives are evil. [k] ?1:No further increases...? Not sure about that... ?! [charaFace A 4] @Mash You're right. I have this sinking feeling that something disastrous is about to happen...
