Don't mind me, I'm just preparing for an oncoming corrupted attack. {distractedly} [2/2] Scout Reynauld: ...nothing you need to worry about, of course. I can handle it. {distractedly} [1/2] Caid: Stupid- ship! Get out of there! How did I even- manage to do this!? {frustrated, straining} [2/2] Caid: Huh? Oh! I- ah, nothing to see here! Just... just taking a look at my good old ship! Yup! {nervously} [1/1] Alchemist: Hello! Looking for potions? This is the best potion shop in Elkurn! {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/9] Dr. Picard: Success! Success, success, SUCCESS! I'm a genius, the smartest man alive! {triumphantly} [2/9] Dr. Picard: You there, random bystander! You have witnessed a magical marvel! I have just successfully restored my memories from years ago! {triumphantly} [3/9] Dr. Picard: You look to be from Fruma, yes? So you know just as well as I that your memories of your life before have vanished. Poof. Gone! {explaining} [4/9] Dr. Picard: But with this device... we can change that! Restore what has been lost! Recover the- you get the point. {excitedly} [5/9] Dr. Picard: Now, I'm in great need of test subjects... You would do well as one, yes, but I need more to be certain this thing works. {explaining} [6/9] Dr. Picard: Listen here! I have a proposition to make. You'd like your memories back, yes? Bring me enough test subjects, and I can show you what you've lost! {excitedly} [7/9] Dr. Picard: Let's see, let's see... We need individuals originally from Fruma. There are a few of those around here. {thoughtfully} [8/9] Dr. Picard: You can start with the would-be sailor, Caid. You'll find him just past Elkurn- follow the path until you reach the river. {normally} [9/9] Dr. Picard: In the meantime, I'll be making adjustments here... It's not perfect just yet. I'm still missing large portions of my memory... Hm? You're still here? Get going! {thoughtfully} [1/1] Dr. Picard: Well? I've given you an assignment, what are you still doing here? Go find the Sailor Caid. You'll find him just past Elkurn- follow the path until you reach the river. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/9] Caid: Stupid- ship! Get out of there! How did I even- manage to do this!? {angrily, straining} [2/9] Caid: Huh? Oh! I- ah, nothing to see here! Just... just taking a look at my good old ship! {nervously} [3/9] Caid: Picard sent you? The guy cooped up in that tower? Huh. Good to know he's finally finished his work. What did he want me for? {curiously} [4/9] Caid: ...Look at my memories from Fruma, huh? I'm not so sure 'bout that. If they're missing, they must be missing for a reason. And I'm- I'm happy here! Don't need to know nothin' about-... {normally, in denial} [5/9] Caid: ...Yeah, alright. I'll come with you to get my memory checked out. Just, do me a solid first, alright? {defeated} [6/9] Caid: I'm something of a builder. Figured I'd try my hand at makin' a ship, and, here it is! Pretty good, right? {explaining} [7/9] Caid: Issue is, I've built it somewhere I can't really move it out from. And, trust me, I've tried. A lot. {explaining, frustrated} [8/9] Caid: I have a friend out in Elkurn- an alchemist. I'll write down his location in your content book. Could you go ask him if he has anything to help? {explaining} [9/9] Caid: Thank you greatly. I'll keep trying here, maybe I'll be able to get it out myself... {normally} [1/2] Caid: Come- on! You've got to get out- eventually! Stupid- ship! {exhausted} [2/2] Caid: Phew... this isn't working. Have you been to the alchemist yet? He lives in town. He'll know how to help. {exhausted} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Alchemist: Hello! Looking for potions? This is the best potion shop in Elkurn! {normally} [2/8] Alchemist: Oh, Caid asked you to speak with me? What does he need this time? {normally} [3/8] Alchemist: He built his ship in the wrong place... and needs help getting it out... Good grief, I could have told him that'd be a problem if he'd have just- {annoyed} [4/8] Alchemist: ...Ehm. Well, luckily for him, I know just the thing to help! I can brew him up a shrinking potion, and he'll be all good to go... {normally} [5/8] Alchemist: Golden apples, check... Got the water over there... Hm. I appear to be out of an ingredient. You can fetch it for me, right? {thoughtfully} [6/8] Alchemist: Good, good. The item I'm looking for is known as a [Bloom of Death]. You can likely find some growing near the Elkurn church. {explaining} [7/8] Alchemist: Do be careful, though! They're rather agressive towards those they deem as a threat. Nothing you can't handle, I'm sure! {normally} [8/8] Alchemist: Well, I'll get to brewing. Fetch me [1 Bloom of Death] and I'll be able to finish the potion! {normally} [1/2] Alchemist: Hm hm... I'll have to leave it at this temperature for... and then I have to... {thoughtfully} [2/2] Alchemist: Ah! You're back! Do you need a reminder? You can find [1 Bloom of Death] if you look near the Elkurn Church! {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Alchemist: There you are! And you have the bloom! Excellent, excellent, give it here. {normally} [2/4] Alchemist: Just a touch of this, and a touch of that, and... {distractedly} [3/4] Alchemist: All done! One shrinking potion, ready for use! {normally} [4/4] Alchemist: My work here is done. Bring that to Caid, and it should sort out his situation! {normally} [1/1] Alchemist: Well? Go take the potion to Caid! {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Caid: Come- on! You've got to get out- eventually! Stupid- ship! {frustrated} [2/5] Caid: ... You're back! Did my friend know what to do? {normally} [3/5] Caid: A shrinking potion... Weird choice, but I guess it'll work. So, what, do I just pour it on... {thoughtfully} [4/5] Caid: Huh. Well, it's certainly... smaller. I don't know if I can even fit in there anymore! The potion will wear off... right? {worried} [5/5] Caid: Well. Whatever, I can get it out of there now! Guess that means we should go to the doctor. Lead the way. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Dr. Picard: Aha! You've returned! Good, good, this'll be a good test of my changes... {normally} [2/5] Caid: ...Right. And this is the doctor we're trusting with my memories? {suspicious} [3/5] Dr. Picard: Now, now, don't underestimate my genius. You'll be fine! Probably. I'd give it a 95% chance. Now, step up here. {normally} [4/5] Dr. Picard: And now, all I need to do is... Activate the spell here, hit the switch there, and... {normally} [5/5] Caid: G-gah! What's happening? {suprised} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/16] Caid: Right, let's see what we've got here... Edwin, can you check that other crate over there? {normally} [2/16] Edwin: Sure thing. Say- Caid. How do you keep getting ahold of these things? There's expensive parts in these, and that seems a bit out of your price range. {suspiciously} [3/16] Caid: Well... Let's just say the latest resupply package for the guards is slightly lighter than it might otherwise be. {smugly} [4/16] Edwin: Wait- what? Caid, please tell me you haven't been stealing from the guards. You know they won't- {horrified} [5/16] Caid: Edwin, relax. I'm barely skimming off the top of their supplies. They won't notice one or two missing packages out of thirty. {dismissively} [6/16] Caid: 'sides, I'm not scared of them. They're here to protect us, aren't they? I figure they'll just let me off with a warning, like they have all those other times. {dismissively} [7/16] Edwin: If... if you say so. I guess you're right. They don't need all those supplies, really. And we can make much better use of these than they would! {excitedly} [8/16] Caid: Exactly! I'm glad you agree. So, have you found anything goo- {normally} [9/16] ???: You two! Hold still, you're under arrest! {ordering} //Royal Captain [10/16] Edwin: G-g-g-guards! Run!! {terrified} [11/16] Caid: E-Edwin! Get back here, you cowa- {angrily} [12/16] Royal Captain: That's enough out of you. You two, track down the accomplice. {normally} [13/16] Royal Captain: Caid, you are being placed under arrest for repeated counts of theft of imperial property. {explaining} [14/16] Royal Captain: Your record shows you have received multiple warnings for previous acts. This was your final chance, and you have thoroughly wasted it. {explaining} [15/16] Royal Captain: Take him to the prison for further questioning, and to decide what shall be done with him. {normally} [16/16] Dr. Picard: Hey! Hello? Bystander-turned-assistant! Get yourself out of that trance, we need to talk. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Dr. Picard: Hm. Hm hm hm. The memory cut off there... I wonder what we'd see if we could- {thoughtfully} [2/8] Dr. Picard: Ah! Bystander-turned-assis- you know what, I'll just call you my assistant. Finally out of your trance, I see. {normally} [3/8] Dr. Picard: Hm? Where'd the sailor go? Oh, I don't know, I wasn't keeping track- I believe he returned to his ship. That's not important. {dismissively} [4/8] Dr. Picard: What is important is what we've just seen! Memories relived in vivid detail! Truly, this device will change the world! {excitedly} [5/8] Dr. Picard: ...Though, I will say. I am a little lost as to the timeline of events. Caid was arrested- so how did he find himself here in Wynn, as a soldier? {thoughtfully} [6/8] Dr. Picard: It's puzzling, to be sure... If only we could see further. I'll get to work immediately- we must know more! {thoughtfully} [7/8] Dr. Picard: In the meantime, I'll have you fetch another test subject for me. There's a Scout Reynauld on duty today- he's also from Fruma originally. {explaining} [8/8] Dr. Picard: You'll find him near a bridge to the Roots of Corruption. I'm counting on you to convince him to join our experiment. In the name of science! {explaining} [1/2] Dr. Picard: Hm... Where does this barrier lie? Is this magic not strong enough to break through it? Maybe if I increase the power, then... {thoughtfully} [2/2] Dr. Picard: Gah! Assistant! What are you doing here? Have you spoken to Scout Reynauld yet? You'll find him near a bridge to the Roots of Corruption. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Scout Reynauld: ...and so, we expect them to attempt to seize control of this bridge any minute now. {explaining} [2/7] Tasim: I see. Well, you'll have me to help defend the town, at the very least. I guess all we can do now is w- {normally} [3/7] Tasim: soldier? What're you doing all the way out here? The Admiral sent me to bolster Elkurn's defenses, what with the incoming threat. {suprised} [4/7] Scout Reynauld: Hm? The strange doctor wants to see me? To restore my memories? I can't say I really trust the man... but I am curious if it'll really work. {thoughtfully} [5/7] Tasim: Recovering memories from Fruma... That's definitely something I'd be interested in. I've had a strange feeling about it, ever since we first realized we lost them. {excitedly} [6/7] Scout Reynauld: Then it's settled. We'll go with you to meet the doctor. However, the town takes priority. We'll need to fight off the incoming corrupted force. {normally} [7/7] Tasim: soldier, you should join us! Three is better than two, after all. We have a bit more time, so you should go prepare, then come back here. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Tasim: So, have you had any interesting adventures since we split up? {normally} [2/4] Tasim: ...Oh, right! You and General Graken dealt with the undead in Ancient Nemract, didn't you? Captain Ragon was glad to hear that, I'll tell you. {normally} [3/4] Tasim: Me? Eh, nothing really to talk about. Aledar's gone off to research the corruption on his own, so I've been- I don't know. Helping wherever I can. {boredly} [4/4] Tasim: I have the skill and the magic to fight off corrupteds, so I might as well help wherever I'm needed. {normally} [1/1] Scout Reynauld: Are you ready to defend Elkurn? {normally} [1/1] Scout Reynauld: We don't have much of it left, I'm afraid. Go, then, but come back quickly. {worried} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Tasim: Then let's do this. Shouldn't be much longer now... {excitedly, nervously} [2/3] Scout Reynauld: I have eyes on the target! Corrupted forces incoming! {normally} [3/3] Tasim: ...Ah. This might be a little tougher than expected. Well, let's give it our all! {worried} [1/3] Scout Reynauld: Finally, I've got a good shot! Just have to aim... {concentrating} [2/3] Scout Reynauld: Damn it, the summoner's shielded! How do we take it down? {frustrated} [3/3] Tasim: The spikes look weaker than the shield! If we can kill enough of its minions, we'll break its concentration and you can destroy the spike! {normally} [1/1] Tasim: Now that's a brute if I've ever seen one... Alright, if we take this one out, Reynauld should be able to take the shot! {concerned} [1/2] Scout Reynauld: Alright! That should do it. Fire a powerful shot here, and... {concentrating} [2/2] Scout Reynauld: Got it! You two- chip away at the summoner, it can't have long left! {encouraging} [1/1] Tasim: It's out of reach again- but we know how to deal with it now! Come on, we just need to kill more of its minions! {frustrated} [1/1] Tasim: Another brute to take out, then Reynauld can take the shot! {normally} [1/2] Scout Reynauld: The summoner's weak... now I just need to hit the right... spot! {concentrating} [2/2] Tasim: There's nowhere for it to run now! Let's finish this. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Scout Reynauld: We've done it! Elkurn stands another day. {relieved} [2/6] Tasim: That was-... that was definitely tough. But, hey, we did it! {relieved} [3/6] Scout Reynauld: That we did. Thank you both for your help- I'm not sure I could have handled that alone. {gratefully} [4/6] Tasim: Hey, it was nothing. That's what I'm here for. So, soldier. You said there was a doctor restoring peoples' memories? {normally} [5/6] Scout Reynauld: We did come to an agreement before this combat, yes. I'll follow you to the doctor. {normally} [6/6] Tasim: Same here! I'm definitely curious to see what I've forgotten. Let's go, then. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Dr. Picard: Ah, assistant! I see you've done better than expected and brought with you two whole test subjects instead of one! {happily} [2/6] Dr. Picard: Now, now, come on. Which of you will be viewing your memories first? {normally} [3/6] Scout Reynauld: I suppose that would be me. {normally} [4/6] Dr. Picard: Excellent. Now, just step right up over here! Look directly into the orb, and concentrate on remembering. {explaining} [5/6] Dr. Picard: Alright... Very quickly, I just need to activate this... cast a spell here... and... {thoughtfully} [6/6] Scout Reynauld: ...I don't feel anythi- {normally, then cut off} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/15] Caid: H-huh? Hey, who's there? Why are you knocking at this hour- {worried} [2/15] Caid: ...Oh. It's you. {relieved} [3/15] Reynauld: Yes, it's me. Mind if I step inside? {normally} [4/15] Caid: N-no, of course not- Uh. It would have been nice if, you know, you warned me you would be coming! {worried} [5/15] Reynauld: You know that isn't how this works. Now, where are the goods? {normally} [6/15] Caid: Right... always straight to business with you. Never, "oh, how was your week?" Always just-... {annoyed} [7/15] Caid: Fine. It's up and over here. {annoyed} [8/15] Caid: I salvaged some parts from... uh, one of the nearby factories. I hope it's-... it's probably what you need. {normally} [9/15] Reynauld: ...Hm. One of the factories, you say? And you're sure you weren't spotted doing it? If I were caught speaking to a known criminal, you know the consequences for both of us. {worried} [10/15] Caid: N-no. I wasn't spotted. I, uh... I took precautions. Went in at night. You know. {cryptically} [11/15] Reynauld: Hmph. {suspiciously} [12/15] Caid: S-so... is that enough? I've gotten you what you asked for. {worriedly} [13/15] Reynauld: Well... it is that, yes. But, Caid, you know the risk I take every time I come out here to speak with you. I'll need more than just the bare minimum to guarantee your safety. {explaining} [14/15] Caid: I- hmph. Okay, okay, fine, I'll- I'll add in some emeralds. To sweeten the deal. {annoyed} [15/15] Reynauld: Excellent. A pleasure doing business, as always. I'll be back in a few weeks. {satisfied} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/13] Reynauld: Sir- you requested my presence? {worried} [2/13] Royal Captain: Ah, Reynauld. Good to see you. Come in, come in, take a seat. {welcoming} [3/13] Reynauld: Might I ask what this meeting is for, sir? {concerned} [4/13] Royal Captain: Oh, nothing too special. I just wanted to have a quick chat about your performance. {cryptically} [5/13] Royal Captain: You understand that those of us who serve Her Majesty in such well regarded positions have a certain... strict code of honor we must follow, yes? {explaining} [6/13] Royal Captain: Otherwise, how could we be certain our ranks are pure of any misdeeds? We must set an example for the people of our great province. {explaining} [7/13] Reynauld: I- yes, sir, I do. {worried} [8/13] Royal Captain: Now, what do you think might happen if one of our own happened to... bend, or break that code of honor? What sort of a precedent would that set? {explaining, angry undertone} [9/13] Reynauld: Captain, I- {scared} [10/13] Royal Captain: It is with no great pleasure that I inform you that you, Reynauld, are to be stripped of your rank and arrested under charges of dishonor and conspiracy against the Queen. {angrily} [11/13] Royal Captain: Your accomplice, the supplier, was caught the other day. I'm told he spent very little time grappling with the thought before choosing to spill your secrets. {explaining} [12/13] Royal Captain: There is no place for your sort in our ranks, Reynauld. A shame it had to come to this. {normally} [13/13] Dr. Picard: Assistant! Snap out of it! There's more to discuss. {forcefully} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/11] Tasim: ...so, what, you haven't tested any of this before now? What if this magic is dangerous? With how Reynauld reacted, I'm convinced it even might- {worried} [2/11] Dr. Picard: Now, now, calm yourself. Just because I didn't do any proper tests before this doesn't mean it isn't safe! I've done the calculations! They all work out fine! {dismissively} [3/11] Tasim: ...Oh, soldier, you're back. That was a little intense, wasn't it? {worried} [4/11] Dr. Picard: Yes, yes, very intense, whatever- we still weren't able to see what comes next! I swear, I was able to see more when I looked at my own memories! It's ridiculous! {frustrated} [5/11] Dr. Picard: Hmph. Maybe it just needs more power... If I increase the amount of mana I put into the spell, then- {thoughtfully} [6/11] Tasim: Hold on. You want to put more magic into this, when it's already unstable? {worried} [7/11] Dr. Picard: Yes, fine, I understand you've taken issue with my methodology. But it works! This has worked thrice now! {dismissively} [8/11] Dr. Picard: Don't you want to know what your life was like before? Even if it's not what you want to see, isn't it better to know? {enticing} [9/11] Tasim: ...Fine. We can look at my memories. I don't know that I necessarily agree... but alright. {resigned} [10/11] Dr. Picard: Excellent, I'm glad to hear that! Now. Activating in three... two... one... go! {happily} [11/11] Tasim: ...! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/12] Royal Captain: All hands on deck! Arrest that insurgent! {commanding} [2/12] Tasim: Huh?! What's going- {suprised as a man has just fallen through his roof) [3/12] Royal Captain: Grr... He couldn't have gotten far. All of you, search the city! Leave no corner unturned! Don't let him get away! {angrily} [4/12] Tasim: I- oh, this is bad... What can I-... {worried} [5/12] Tasim: ...Damn it. Damn it all. I can't just let the man bleed out, even if he's-... {thoughtfully} [6/12] Tasim: ... [7/12] Tasim: It's fine, you'll be fine... I know what to do, even if I really shouldn't... {worried} [8/12] ???: G-gah! Wh-where am I? Who are you? I need to get- {scared} //Aledar [9/12] Aledar: Oh. You're- you're cursed. {suprised} [10/12] Tasim: I- {defensively} [11/12] Royal Soldier: He's in here! And he has an accomplice! Arrest them both! {triumphantly} [12/12] Dr. Picard: My magic is struggling to keep hold... but it's clear there's more to see! Increasing power... {thoughtfully} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/25] Aledar: ...You shouldn't have gotten involved, you know. {annoyed} [2/25] Tasim: So, what? I should have just let you bleed out in my home? Don't be ridiculous. {normally} [3/25] Aledar: Yes! You should have! Because now, not only have I been arrested for crimes against the crown, but you've also been outed as one of the cursed. Wouldn't have happened if you had just... stood by. {angrily} [4/25] Tasim: ...It was the right thing to do. I couldn't just stand by when there was something I could do to help. {sadly} [5/25] Aledar: Well, a lot of good that's done us. You know no one gets out of here, right? When they take you, you're never heard from again! So. That's where we're at. {angrily} [6/25] Tasim: I-... {defensively} [7/25] Royal Soldier: Tasim. It's your time. Follow me. {normally} [8/25] Aledar: Good luck out there, Tasim. You'll need it. {normally} [9/25] Royal Inquisitor: Ahem. We're ready for the process. Prepare the Adjustor. {normally} [10/25] Tasim: The- the what? What are you going to do to- {scared} [11/25] Royal Inquisitor: Silence. Before we begin, I want to make one thing clear. We do not need your ilk in Fruma. We do not want your ilk in Fruma. {explaining} [12/25] Royal Inquisitor: What we will do with you today is a kindness, a mercy. If the world were to have its way, you would be far worse off. Remember that as we continue. {explaining} [13/25] Royal Inquisitor: Now. Let us begin. {normally} [14/25] Royal Inquisitor: You are a new recruit, being sent to the Wynn Province to fight in their war. You enlisted because you thought your unique... talents... would be useful. {explaining} [15/25] Royal Inquisitor: Fruma is nothing but a speck in your history. A fact set in stone, with details lost to the hypothetical past. You think of it fondly, but remember nothing. {explaining} [16/25] Royal Inquisitor: You will fight in their war. You will live for it, you will die for it. You will be of Wynn forever, and Fruma will be glad to be rid of you. {explaining, forcefully} [17/25] Royal Inquisitor: Understood? {forcefully} [18/25] Tasim: I-... {resisting} [19/25] Royal Inquisitor: Must I repeat myself? Do you understand? {forcefully} [20/25] Tasim: ... [21/25] Royal Inquisitor: I will ask once more. Is your directive understood? {forcefully} [22/25] Tasim: ...it is understood. {brainwashed} [23/25] Royal Inquisitor: Wonderful. Take this one to the caravan. It looks like we'll be able to fit two more for today's batch. {normally} [24/25] Imperial Inquisitor: ... [25/25] Royal Inquisitor: Now what might you be...? {curiously} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] ???: ........ant....... {calling "assistant" distantly} //Dr. Picard [2/5] ???: ......istant..... {calling "assistant" distantly} //Dr. Picard [3/5] ???: ......assistant! {calling "assistant" distantly} //Dr. Picard [4/5] Dr. Picard: Assistant! Snap out of it! You've gone in too deep, the memory is sucking you in! {worried} [5/5] Dr. Picard: Find an exit, now, or you'll be trapped forever with no chance of escape! Quickly! GO! {worried} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Dr. Picard: Good grief- there you are! Do you understand how dangerous that was?! {relieved} [2/3] Dr. Picard: What do you think happens to me if one of my assistants gets trapped in their memories forever! Nothing good! {scolding} [3/3] Dr. Picard: ...Fine, fine. It did give us more information. Don't do it again, though! Come on, come over here, we have much to discuss. {normally} [1/6] Dr. Picard: ...Hmph. I'll admit, I'm-... I'm not sure what to do with this information. {thoughtfully} [2/6] Dr. Picard: The memory restorification orb worked about as well as I could expect for a single use... but, good grief, that was upsetting to watch. {worried} [3/6] Dr. Picard: It stands to reason both Caid and Reynauld also experienced this... and my magic couldn't break through that wall... {worried} [4/6] Dr. Picard: Is this what they're doing to their criminals out there, in Fruma? Casting them out to fight in Wynn's war? {thoughtfully} [5/6] Dr. Picard: ...I'll have to think on how much I want to delve into memories. In any case! At the very start of this, I promised you we could view your memories. {worried} [6/6] Dr. Picard: The offer still stands, if you'd like to take it. Just step up to the orb, like the others did. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Tasim: ... [2/2] Tasim: Didn't the doctor want to talk to you? You should talk to him first. {emptily} [1/1] Dr. Picard: Well? The offer still stands, if you'd like to take it. Just step up to the orb, like the others did. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Dr. Picard: H-huh?! The orb! My beautiful memory restorification orb! It's ruined! {horrified} [2/7] Dr. Picard: ...Oh, whatever. I have the blueprints stored somewhere around here. I can always make another... but still. {thoughtfully} [3/7] Dr. Picard: ... [4/7] Dr. Picard: Oh! Oh, right! My apologies, I completely forgot to check in with you! Are you alright? {suprised} [5/7] Dr. Picard: None of the other test subjects experienced this powerful a reaction... strange. It's almost like we were accessing memories that didn't exist... {thoughtfully} [6/7] Dr. Picard: ...Well. Ehm. In any case- I'll need to continue my research. There's more to learn, I'm sure... {normally} [7/7] Dr. Picard: As thanks for your help- here, a reward. Ah, also- I believe your friend is just outside the tower. You might want to check in on him. {normally} [1/2] Dr. Picard: There's much more we don't know about Fruma... and, given what we've seen recently, I suspect not all is well within those walls. {thoughtfully} [2/2] Dr. Picard: Might there even be... a war within the Fruman walls? No, no, that's ridiculous. Those memories didn't seem to show the signs of one... {thoughtfully} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/10] Tasim: ... [2/10] Tasim: Cursed. He called me cursed. What does that mean for me..? {thoughtfully, worried} [3/10] Tasim: And the Inquisitor... I don't know what to think. All of us- what we thought we knew when we arrived in Wynn... None of it was true. {sadly} [4/10] Tasim: ...Did the two of us really meet through sheer random luck? He was running from something, and... fell straight into my life. {sadly} [5/10] Tasim: ... [6/10] Tasim: I- I need some space to think. To... reflect. Can you-... please don't tell Aledar about any of this. {emptily} [7/10] Tasim: He doesn't need to know about all of this. He's- he's better off not knowing. {emptily} [8/10] Tasim: ...I'm going to head for the Gavel Province, I think. It's across the ocean, far enough from- from all of this. {normally} [9/10] Tasim: When you get stronger, you should go there too. Maybe we'll even run into each other, eventually. {normally} [10/10] Tasim: I guess this is goodbye for now, then. Not forever- but for now. I'll see you around, soldier. {normally} [1/1] Tasim: ...I'm just resting here, a little. I'll be on my way soon. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Caid: ...Oh. Hello. My boat's back to normal, if you haven't noticed. {normally} [2/5] Caid: I... can't really bring myself to care, though. Maybe I should just stay here, a while. {normally} [3/5] Caid: You know, even though watching my memories was unpleasant, I can't say it wasn't worth it. I've started recovering bits and pieces. {normally} [4/5] Caid: I had a sister, back there. We drifted apart a bit, before the end. She didn't really approve of what I was doing. {thoughtfully} [5/5] Caid: ...She must still be there, come to think of it. I hope she's doing well. {worried} [1/4] Scout Reynauld: Ah. You again. [2/4] Scout Reynauld: ...I certainly regret following you to that doctor and his damned contraption. Those were things I didn't need to know about myself. [3/4] Scout Reynauld: The more I think about it, the more certain I am that I don't wish to remember anymore. [4/4] Scout Reynauld: ...It does make me appreciate my new life in Wynn more, though. I'd like to do my best to not fall back into those habits.
