[k] [charaFace A 2] @Ptolemaîos So by accessing the library, I can switch between my Spirit Origins as I please, though only for a short while. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos And of course, I'm only changing my appearance. My mind remains the same regardless of what I look like. [k] [charaFace A 8] @Ptolemaîos Granted, my vessel may influence my mind to some degree, but in general, you can think of me as a young man who sometimes inhabits an old man's body.

[k] ?1:You mean the one about going on four legs in morning and two legs in the day? [charaFace A 2] @Ptolemaîos Oh, so you know about it. Impressive. Yes, that's the riddle King Oedipus faced in Greek myth. [k] ?2:The Sphinx's riddle? [charaFace A 8] @Ptolemaîos So you're not familiar with it? Well, that's no surprise. All right, let me give you a quick rundown of a classic Greek myth. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos Once, a monster called the Sphinx took up residence in a key point known as Mt. Pelion. [k] @Ptolemaîos This monster would present every traveler who wished to pass with a riddle. Those who could not answer properly, it would eat. [k] [charaFace A 8] @Ptolemaîos Once Oedipus, who was renowned for his wisdom, learned of this, he went to face the Sphinx himself. [k] ?! [messageOff] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut T 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash It's one of, if not the most, famous riddles in the world: What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the daytime, and three legs in the evening? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut T 2000,2500] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ptolemaîos Yes, that's the one. I see you are an educated lady. Anyway, when the Sphinx asked Oedipus this riddle, he answered it immediately. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos He said that a baby crawls on all fours in the morning[sr][line 2]when they are born; a grown person walks on two legs in the daytime[line 2]the prime of their life... [k] @Ptolemaîos ...and an old person uses a staff to get around in the[sr]evening[line 2]the twilight of their life. And so the answer is a person. [k] @Ptolemaîos The Sphinx was so shocked to have its riddle answered correctly that it threw itself off a cliff, ending its own life. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Ptolemaîos Thus did Oedipus become famous, and won the favor of the queen... Though of course, that was the beginning of his tragedy. [k] ?1:Hang on. Isn't the Sphinx Egyptian? ?2:But I thought the Sphinx was an Egyptian creature, not Greek. ?! [charaFace A 8] @Ptolemaîos Oh, that? Greece and Egypt are actually much closer than you'd think, both historically and culturally. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos There are even stories about the Greek gods running away to Egypt. [k] @Ptolemaîos And that is one of the reasons I built my library; I wanted a place to keep stories like that. [k] @Ptolemaîos But of course, that was my elderly self, so now that I'm in my youthful form, it's hard to believe I did that.

This is a weird Singularity, but at least it's still got living creatures. [k] @Sugitani Zenjubou And since you're a living creature yourself, you've gotta eat something to keep your strength up, right? [k] ?1:Thanks. That's really nice of you. ?! @Sugitani Zenjubou Nah, it's just an old habit of mine. I can't help but hunt whatever prey I happen to see when out on patrol. [k] @Sugitani Zenjubou It's all the damn monks' fault for always getting on my case. Now I'm always on the hunt, even if I'm not actually hungry. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace C 3] [wt 1.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.5] [charaFace C 0] @Sugitani Zenjubou So, what's the plan now? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ptolemaîos You need to ask? Now that our Heroic Spirit taming Master has two Servants to work with, we can begin our siege of the castle. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_4 0.1] ?1:A siege!? ?! [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos Don't be scared, Master. This is the quickest way to get our hands on the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFace A 17] @Ptolemaîos The only question is, which one of me will you go with? [k] ?1:Which one? You mean, old or young? ?2:As in, day you or night you? ?! [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos Exactly. I'm sure you know this, but my daytime and nighttime selves fight fairly differently. [k] @Ptolemaîos Not to mention the changes in the castle itself. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sugitani Zenjubou Oh, yeah. The castle itself doesn't change, but its atmosphere sure does. [k] [charaFace C 14] @Sugitani Zenjubou I can already tell that sneaking in during daytime would be a completely different beast from doing it at night. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] [wt 0.8] [charaFace A 2] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos There you have it. From what I've been able to observe, there are fewer enemies about during the day than night. [k] @Ptolemaîos However, night offers more favorable positions to us than day. [k] @Ptolemaîos I'm sure Sugitani can handle either, so you should decide which best suits your own preferences. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Ptolemaîos Although to be honest, my old comrade would probably be better at mounting a siege than me. [k] ?1:Old comrade? ?2:Was he one of Iskandar's subordinates? ?! [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos He and I always said we'd go to Okeanos together one day. But that is a story for another time. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Ptolemaîos That he was better at this sort of thing by no means says I am bad at it. Rest assured, you are in good hands.
