1 126 The people round here are blinded[XENO:n ] by a false sense of tranquillity.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't they remember what we went[XENO:n ] through a mere year ago?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Vigilance and cautiousness are[XENO:n ] what we need right now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
2 126 So we won the battle last year.[XENO:n ] So what?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Our Defence Force is still as weak[XENO:n ] and badly led as it always was![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But everyone acts as if the[XENO:n ] Anti-Air Batteries are all we need.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
3 126 Me and this place, we don't suit[XENO:n ] each other.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And the other residents have[XENO:n ] become complacent and lazy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I feel like my frontier spirit is[XENO:n ] being crushed by this place![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
4 126 They all act as if the way things[XENO:n ] are is just fine and dandy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're content to sit on their[XENO:n ] backsides counting their chickens![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I want to live somewhere full of[XENO:n ] possibilities and hope.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
5 126 This is horrible.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Can't say I'm surprised though.[XENO:n ] We practically let them in.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
6 126 My brother died last year...[XENO:n ] At the battle.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He spent his life protecting this[XENO:n ] colony only to be betrayed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]By an incompetent and inadequate[XENO:n ] Defence Force.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What a useless bunch of idiots.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
7 126 So we just clear away the rubble[XENO:n ] and go back to normal?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How about making an effort to[XENO:n ] right the wrongs of the situation?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I want to live somewhere full of[XENO:n ] possibilities, not this dump.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
8 126 Oh, fiddlesticks.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I was really hoping I could[XENO:n ] ask Shulk for a favour.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Why is he never around?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
9 126 He must be avoiding me because[XENO:n ] I keep asking for favours...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
10 126 I asked Shulk for a favour.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wonder how far he's[XENO:n ] getting on with it?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
11 126 I may be pretty, but that[XENO:n ] doesn't mean I'm stupid.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm always considering my future.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's just difficult since[XENO:n ] my dad passed away.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
12 126 I just wish I knew what I should[XENO:n ] be doing with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There are so many options,[XENO:n ] it's hard to just pick one.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
13 126 Ever since my friend got married,[XENO:n ] I never get to see her anymore.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I miss her dearly...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
14 126 It's much colder at night than[XENO:n ] during the day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Being on my own feels rather[XENO:n ] cold as well, if I'm honest.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wish my dad was still here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
15 126 All I know is, this isn't enough.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I need to be doing something[XENO:n ] bigger with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Actually, there's someone in the[XENO:n ] Residential District a bit like me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Similar circumstances, I mean.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm thinking I could see how they[XENO:n ] solve this dilemma and follow suit![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
16 126 I shouted, 'Curse you,[XENO:n ] foul creation!'[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then I swung my hammer as[XENO:n ] hard as I possibly could.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What? It's the only way I could get[XENO:n ] my fridge to start working again![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
17 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:36:3 ]Ever since Betty got married,[XENO:n ] I never get to see her anymore.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't think that's the[XENO:n ] only reason, but still.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I miss her dearly...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
18 126 The soldiers have been protecting[XENO:n ] the colony like this all along...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I never realised how hard they[XENO:n ] worked to protect us until now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
19 126 The most dangerous time of the[XENO:n ] day is when your shift is finishing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Your mind starts to wander and[XENO:n ] then you let your guard down![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
20 126 To begin with, I've been ordered[XENO:n ] to patrol the areas I know best.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When you walk through an area[XENO:n ] every day, you think you know it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But really scanning it for signs of[XENO:n ] danger... It's a different ballpark.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
21 126 I finally feel like my father[XENO:n ] would be proud of me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I may be alone, but I'm[XENO:n ] getting on with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
22 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:34:3 ]Dorothy and I have become[XENO:n ] really good friends.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We're about the same age, but[XENO:n ] she's so mature...underneath.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
23 126 Being a gatekeeper is much cooler[XENO:n ] than patrolling like this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's like you're the[XENO:n ] face of Colony 9.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe the novelty would wear off.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
24 126 I'm going to talk with my[XENO:n ] teacher now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Colony 9 still isn't exactly known[XENO:n ] for its fine sculptures.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But my teacher thinks we[XENO:n ] can change that![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
25 126 I'm so glad I talked to you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hope you achieve your[XENO:n ] dreams as well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
26 126 My art teacher is a genius.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Sculpture isn't even his speciality,[XENO:n ] but he still gives me great advice![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
27 126 Hmm... Yes... There we go...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh, I'm sorry. I need to[XENO:n ] concentrate right now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Could we chat another time?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
28 126 What I like about sculpture is that[XENO:n ] I don't have to use big machines.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm terrible with machines![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
29 126 You know, I finally feel like my[XENO:n ] father would be proud of me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I may be alone, but I'm[XENO:n ] getting on with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
30 126 If you don't mind listening, I'd like[XENO:n ] to get some things off my chest.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you remember my father at all?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He used to swing a hammer above[XENO:n ] his head, all day, every day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He used to build and fix machines[XENO:n ] and was really good at it too.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He ran his own place.[XENO:n ] 'Xord's Smithy', he called it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The best one in the entire colony.[XENO:n ] Everyone said it![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But he died a year ago in[XENO:n ] that battle with the Mechon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And I couldn't even keep his[XENO:n ] shop open. I had to close it down.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's why it's vital that I at least[XENO:n ] find something to do with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You know, talking about it made[XENO:n ] me feel a lot better.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll think it all over some more.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
31 126 If you don't mind listening, I'd like[XENO:n ] to get some things off my chest.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My dad... He'd swing a hammer[XENO:n ] over his head, all day, every day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He used to build and fix machines[XENO:n ] and was really good at it too.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He ran his own place.[XENO:n ] 'Xord's Smithy', he called it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The best one in the entire colony.[XENO:n ] Everyone said it![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But he died a year ago in the war.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And I couldn't even keep his[XENO:n ] shop open. I had to close it down.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's why it's vital that I at least[XENO:n ] find something to do with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You know, talking about it made[XENO:n ] me feel a lot better.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll think it all over some more.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
32 126 It's a curious kind of light that[XENO:n ] ether lamps generate.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It doesn't seem mechanical.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're very useful, and the best[XENO:n ] part is, they don't cause pollution.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now that's something[XENO:n ] worth researching![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
33 126 There's one other thing[XENO:n ] I'm researching.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The Giants. Have you ever heard[XENO:n ] of them?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But my research isn't exactly[XENO:n ] proceeding as planned.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I really would like to investigate[XENO:n ] some of their ruins at some point.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
34 126 So much to do, so little time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If only I could perform research[XENO:n ] in my sleep.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
35 126 That's it! I'll research a way to[XENO:n ] perform research in my sleep![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It...might be possible...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
36 126 I'm not resting![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm looking at this ether lamp and[XENO:n ] theorising about Ether Cylinders.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
37 126 I have someone working under me,[XENO:n ] but he doesn't work very hard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He's preoccupied thinking about[XENO:n ] this girl all the time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then he goes and starts asking me[XENO:n ] about how to deal with girls.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I couldn't work out whether he was[XENO:n ] flirting or trying to make me mad![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
38 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:10:3 ]A guy called Erik works under me[XENO:n ] but he doesn't work very hard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He's preoccupied thinking about[XENO:n ] this girl all the time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then he goes and starts asking me[XENO:n ] about how to deal with girls.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I couldn't work out whether he was[XENO:n ] flirting or trying to make me mad![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
39 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:10:4 ]Erik's working much harder these[XENO:n ] days. I'm very impressed with him![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe he got himself a girlfriend.[XENO:n ] He has a smile from ear to ear.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]As for how well his research will[XENO:n ] turn out... Who knows?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
40 126 I'm planning to remain single[XENO:n ] for the foreseeable future.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]At least until I've finished my[XENO:n ] research into the Giants.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
41 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:10:4 ]Erik's working much harder these[XENO:n ] days. I'm very impressed with him![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The things he's building don't[XENO:n ] seem to do much, but never mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It just goes to show, when you're[XENO:n ] free of worry, you research better.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm going to work even harder[XENO:n ] as well. I can't let him beat me![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
42 126 My research is going quite well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Being on my own really helps me[XENO:n ] concentrate.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Stop letting your eyes glaze over![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
43 126 Thanks ever so much! My Giants[XENO:n ] research is going swimmingly.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My boss is thrilled![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well... I'm the most thrilled.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]To think an heirloom I've had all[XENO:n ] along could mean so much.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If only we had all three of them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm sure something of great[XENO:n ] significance would occur.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
44 126 From what I've read, the Giants'[XENO:n ] ruins are in the following regions.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The Bionis' Leg, Satorl Marsh,[XENO:n ] Makna Forest...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh, and Valak Mountain, as well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I have a hunch at least one of the[XENO:n ] locations is a false lead...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But it certainly couldn't hurt[XENO:n ] to go and look.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
45 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:10:3 ]Erik is my research assistant.[XENO:n ] I like that he tells it how it is.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But sometimes I say something[XENO:n ] and he shoots daggers at me![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Like he'd rather be anywhere but[XENO:n ] working for an old bat like me![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It could be my imagination.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
46 126 Yes, I'm single. I'm just that[XENO:n ] kind of person, all right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Even after I finish my Giants[XENO:n ] research, the world is so vast.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There are always going to be more[XENO:n ] mysteries for me to solve.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I doubt I'll ever find time for love![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
47 126 You've collected three Giants'[XENO:n ] treasures? Remarkable![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You must be the first person to[XENO:n ] ever achieve such a feat![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How wonderful it must feel![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh, sorry... I do get so excited,[XENO:n ] even at my age![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
48 126 So there were ruins at[XENO:n ] Valak Mountain?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you have the time, I'd love to[XENO:n ] hear about them in more detail.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I must note down everything you[XENO:n ] discovered for future reference.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
49 126 Wanna guess what my job is?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You'll never guess - I'm a critic![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]No one else tells it like it is and[XENO:n ] from the commoner's perspective.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't make a lot of cash, but[XENO:n ] my work is good as gold.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
50 126 Something peachy happened[XENO:n ] the other day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't think I should tell[XENO:n ] you about it though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's gotta go in one of my articles.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
51 126 These ether lamps sure do light[XENO:n ] the place up, don't they?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe I should get me some[XENO:n ] more for my collection.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
52 126 Better keep myself in check.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If I start making impulse buys,[XENO:n ] I'll get in even more debt.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Trouble is, my girlfriend has this[XENO:n ] way of making cash disappear...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
53 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:39:4 ]Arnaut was a real gent to me the[XENO:n ] other day. He treated me to lunch![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He says he's a fan of my work.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just goes to show, people like the[XENO:n ] common man's point of view.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's also nice to get the respect of[XENO:n ] your peers and elders alike.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
54 126 Cheers for the other day.[XENO:n ] I won't forget what you did.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Sylviane's changed completely.[XENO:n ] She doesn't overspend at all now![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
55 126 I love the air of mystery Sylviane[XENO:n ] has about her.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wonder what's the reason she[XENO:n ] stopped spending so much money.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe she wasn't that into[XENO:n ] shopping in the first place...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
56 126 Now my loan's been written off,[XENO:n ] Sylviane's started being thrifty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We've actually managed to save[XENO:n ] some money for the first time![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But how am I meant to put across[XENO:n ] the poor man's perspective now?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
57 126 I've never been in this position[XENO:n ] before. It's a strange feeling.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But there's no use looking back[XENO:n ] now. It's time to look forward.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll just have to come up with[XENO:n ] another angle for my writing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
58 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:39:3 ]Arnaut was a real gent the other[XENO:n ] day. He treated me to lunch![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But he said my new articles just[XENO:n ] ain't biting enough for his taste.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Can't really argue with him,[XENO:n ] to be honest.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
59 126 Now my loan's been written off,[XENO:n ] Sylviane's started being thrifty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We've actually managed to save[XENO:n ] some money for the first time![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But how am I meant to put across[XENO:n ] the poor man's perspective now?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
60 126 My creditor's been very[XENO:n ] kind to me lately.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But he still has this air like he[XENO:n ] doubts I'll ever pay him back.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
61 126 But when Sylviane's around,[XENO:n ] it's all just peachy keen.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I can have a good time with her[XENO:n ] even when I'm down on my luck.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
62 126 Sylviane throwing my money in the[XENO:n ] toilet is a blessing in disguise.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Being poor gives my articles[XENO:n ] this real gritty feeling.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's what makes 'em[XENO:n ] so popular, you see.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
63 126 'Course, being more popular[XENO:n ] means I'm making more money.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But Sylviane spends it faster[XENO:n ] than I can earn it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's what a richer man[XENO:n ] might call ironic![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
64 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:39:5 ]Arnaut was a real gent the other[XENO:n ] day. He bought me lunch.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And he said my articles have a lot[XENO:n ] more humour in 'em than before.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Little things like that make[XENO:n ] me smile, you know?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
65 126 I feel like I'm doing pretty[XENO:n ] well for myself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Better than the guy who goes[XENO:n ] down by the bridge every night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Is he learning how to argue[XENO:n ] or something? Bit silly, that.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
66 126 I also think I'm happier than the[XENO:n ] Residential District gatekeeper.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]She always looks like she's just[XENO:n ] smelt something funny.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Truth is, living the good life[XENO:n ] is my speciality![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So if you need any help with that,[XENO:n ] I'm the lady to ask.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
67 126 Hey, get me some too![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You say collection, but I've[XENO:n ] only got three so far.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So let's get more![XENO:n ] More! MORE![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
68 126 I've got this real urge to[XENO:n ] eat some Fresh Sardi Meat.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's a bit expensive because[XENO:n ] it's so lean, but it's worth it![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You ain't gonna find anything[XENO:n ] else that tasty![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And after that we're gonna...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hey, are you listening to me?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
69 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:57:4 ]Oh Darling...? My sweet, kind,[XENO:n ] handsome and loving Darling...?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When are you going to get paid[XENO:n ] next for all that writing you do?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I only ask because, I haven't had[XENO:n ] my weekly shopping spree yet![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
70 126 Oh Darling, let's buy some more[XENO:n ] of these for the living room! Yes![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They'll look stunning beside the[XENO:n ] ones we have on the mantelpiece.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh please, Darling. It'll make all[XENO:n ] our neighbours fabulously jealous![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
71 126 To tell the truth, there was a time[XENO:n ] when I considered running away.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I'm used to my new[XENO:n ] lifestyle now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I have Leopold and that's enough.[XENO:n ] He really makes me happy![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
72 126 What loan shark?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Uh... Erm...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What are you asking me for?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I-I-I've never met any loan shark[XENO:n ] before... Have you?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
73 126 Just being around Leopold[XENO:n ] makes me happy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I mean, it's not exactly a lavish[XENO:n ] lifestyle. He doesn't earn a lot.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But that's my only complaint![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
74 126 My cousin is doing pretty well[XENO:n ] for herself...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]*sigh*[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
75 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:58:3 ]I'm much prettier than my cousin[XENO:n ] Françoise. Hmph.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Why does she get the easy life[XENO:n ] while I'm just scraping by?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
76 126 Françoise keeps telling me to be[XENO:n ] a bit more careful with money.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't get it. Does she think[XENO:n ] I have a problem or something?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
77 126 Oh I won't stop buying things![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not while my darling is raking it in[XENO:n ] writing his articles.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's plenty of cash to splash![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
78 126 Oh Darling...? Buy me a lamp.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Pleeeeeeaaaaaase![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe I'll buy just one a day so[XENO:n ] I don't go over my daily limit.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Leopold is the most popular writer[XENO:n ] in the colony so we're rolling in it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
79 126 Spending money is so much fun![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But however much I spend,[XENO:n ] I'm never completely happy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My cousin's much better at[XENO:n ] saving money than I am![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
80 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:58:3 ]I'm much prettier than my cousin[XENO:n ] Françoise. Hmph.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But she's so tight-fisted![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not me. However much I spend,[XENO:n ] I'm never completely happy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
81 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:341:3 ]I told a Nopon Merchant called[XENO:n ] Daza some info I'd heard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It was straight from you-know-who.[XENO:n ] Something about Red Pollen Orbs.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I can't say I understood it myself,[XENO:n ] but Daza seemed really pleased.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He was so grateful for the info, he[XENO:n ] paid me a handsome reward.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So, uh, now I'm rich.[XENO:n ] Don't tell anyone.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
82 126 Don't know what you think[XENO:n ] talking to me will achieve.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm just your everyday, common-[XENO:n ] or-garden money lender.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You want me to be more precise?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]All right then. I'm the creditor for[XENO:n ] a certain good-for-nothing critic.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]One who's overdue[XENO:n ] on his payments![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
83 126 Now, what's someone like you[XENO:n ] doing somewhere like this?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Stay where it's safe like the Ether[XENO:n ] Light in the Commercial District.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]A kid like you could get hurt[XENO:n ] hanging around a place like this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
84 126 Beautiful night, ain't it?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Makes you wanna go home right[XENO:n ] away and lie in your comfy bed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
85 126 Maybe I'm not making[XENO:n ] myself clear here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm saying little brats are better of[XENO:n ] at home with mummy and daddy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now scram![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
86 126 I always say, you scratch my back[XENO:n ] and I'll scratch yours.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You scratched my back[XENO:n ] real good this time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just...keep it under your hat.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
87 126 You keeping it to yourself means[XENO:n ] Sylviane can keep her happy life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's good for me as well. I can do[XENO:n ] without the vicious rumours.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And in a round about way it's good[XENO:n ] for you too. Don't forget it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
88 126 I'm currently engaged in an[XENO:n ] important business discussion.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Kindly buzz off.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
89 126 I said scram![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If I see your face around here[XENO:n ] again, you'll regret it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
90 126 I'm off to a secret meeting![XENO:n ] Doubt I'll make it on time though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Why? 'Cos I overslept, of course.[XENO:n ] Wait, don't dare tell anyone that![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
91 126 I'm always telling everyone stuff[XENO:n ] I'm meant to keep quiet about.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Ain't I supposed to be the leader?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How can I lead anyone if I'm[XENO:n ] being careless all the time?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
92 126 We're discussing serious[XENO:n ] business right now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Something might be going[XENO:n ] down. Something big...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's all still in the planning[XENO:n ] stages though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
93 126 Up to no good? Us?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Nah. Well, some people might[XENO:n ] look at it that way.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But it's all for the greater good.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Come by once in a while if[XENO:n ] you wanna see for yourself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
94 126 Man, I'm worn out. I've had[XENO:n ] more than enough for one day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But...I can't tell you what I was[XENO:n ] doing. That's top secret stuff.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you really wanna know,[XENO:n ] come by tonight.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Argh, I'm so tired...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
95 126 If you wanna talk, see me later[XENO:n ] when my head's in the right place.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now I'm just not really up to it.[XENO:n ] Too worn out.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
96 126 Oh, it's you guys.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Whatever you wanna ask me[XENO:n ] about, see me at the usual place.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll answer your questions...[XENO:n ] Only if I feel like it though![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
97 126 You didn't tell anyone, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If anyone finds out it would[XENO:n ] be bad, real bad.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So keep mum, all right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
98 126 I don't have any work for you now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Try again in a bit. Sorry.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
99 126 I can see you're getting all[XENO:n ] hot under the collar.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But you can ask all you want.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm still not telling you[XENO:n ] about our plan.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
100 126 I can see you're getting all[XENO:n ] hot under the collar.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But you can ask all you want.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm still not telling you[XENO:n ] about our plan.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
101 126 What do you want? I ain't got[XENO:n ] nothing I need to say to you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh, you just came to say hi?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well then, it's nice to see you too.[XENO:n ] Manners don't cost a thing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's my motto![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
102 126 Everything we do is for[XENO:n ] the sake of the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess what you're doing's for[XENO:n ] the sake of the whole world.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But that includes the colony,[XENO:n ] don't it? So it works out.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd say you've helped us out[XENO:n ] enough already, mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We can take it from here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
103 126 I'm trying to think what we should[XENO:n ] do next to help Colony 9.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
104 126 You guys again?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just ignore me and do whatever[XENO:n ] you like. It's all you do anyway.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And it's probably what's best[XENO:n ] for the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You know, all's well[XENO:n ] that ends well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
105 126 Do you have to go around saying[XENO:n ] hello to every sap?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you even have anything[XENO:n ] you want from me?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I swear, some people can't see[XENO:n ] the forest for the trees sometimes.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
106 126 It's...weird.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My heart should be pounding,[XENO:n ] shouldn't it?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I mean, we've been going out long[XENO:n ] enough for some sparks to fly.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But instead I just feel empty and[XENO:n ] alone. Am I over-thinking things?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
107 126 The last guy was a wild one, so I[XENO:n ] went for an elegant type this time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess this won't work out either![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
108 126 Why am I even still with this one?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe next time I'll choose a man[XENO:n ] who's not a soldier or a singer.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you know any eligible[XENO:n ] bachelors, let me know![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
109 126 I give up.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm convinced I'm not going to[XENO:n ] find a good man in Colony 9.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe if I move somewhere new[XENO:n ] I'll find the right man for me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
110 126 Is it this late already?[XENO:n ] I feel like such an idiot...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I spent all night thinking about[XENO:n ] how to find Mr Right![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Go on, laugh, it's OK.[XENO:n ] I know, I'm pathetic![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
111 126 I guess I've given up[XENO:n ] on the man hunt.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I know I'm not going to find a[XENO:n ] decent husband around here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Colony 9 just doesn't have a big[XENO:n ] enough pool of men to pick from.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess I'd have more luck[XENO:n ] expanding my scope.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Another colony, perhaps?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
112 126 We Homs have to sleep[XENO:n ] every night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But the Mechon are different.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It doesn't matter to them[XENO:n ] whether it's day or night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We've got to be careful. An attack[XENO:n ] could come at any time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
113 126 Hmm. I think Désirée's still very[XENO:n ] upset about her father's death.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He was killed in the war[XENO:n ] a year ago.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]She's even had to close his shop.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm sure she's wondering what[XENO:n ] her life will be like from here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
114 126 Désirée finally decided what[XENO:n ] career to go after.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Even though her father's passed[XENO:n ] away, she's ploughing on ahead.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]She's an example to all of us.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
115 126 Désirée's father was a very[XENO:n ] skilled mechanic.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Shame Désirée turned out[XENO:n ] to be so clumsy![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's no way she could ever[XENO:n ] have followed in his footsteps.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's been hard for her, but I'm glad[XENO:n ] she's overcoming her difficulties.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
116 126 I'm in a real fix...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]One of the Ether Cylinders[XENO:n ] in my house has broken.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now I won't even be able to[XENO:n ] make dinner or run a bath.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't have the cash to replace it.[XENO:n ] What am I going to do?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
117 126 I wonder if Ether Cylinders can be[XENO:n ] shared somehow...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't mind if it's one used for[XENO:n ] ether lamps or the mobile artillery.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Even one from the Anti-Air[XENO:n ] Batteries would do me![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I need some kind of[XENO:n ] Ether Cylinder![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
118 126 This group of young people have[XENO:n ] gathered to do something.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hope there isn't any trouble.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're over at the edge of[XENO:n ] the Commercial District.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They look so secretive. I reckon[XENO:n ] they're up to no good.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
119 126 I wonder if there's some way to[XENO:n ] make the ether lamps brighter?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When it's this dim, it must be hard[XENO:n ] for the soldiers to do their rounds.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
120 126 Those fireworks were amazing![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They've brightened up my[XENO:n ] life just that little bit.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wish I could do something for[XENO:n ] the whole colony like that.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
121 126 Sesame, huh? He's always[XENO:n ] had a bad reputation.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He's known in the Commercial[XENO:n ] District for being a bit shifty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But it turns out him and his friends[XENO:n ] were really thinking about us all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess we misjudged them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
122 126 Night-time is very quiet.[XENO:n ] It my favourite time of day![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When it daytime, kids are loud and[XENO:n ] noisy. They annoy me loads![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So I like night-time best![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
123 126 We lost many friends in battle[XENO:n ] a year ago...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So me guess kids being noisy is[XENO:n ] actually thing to smile about![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It mean we at peace![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
124 126 I always say night is quiet, but[XENO:n ] really day is too loud I think.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So now day is quiet too,[XENO:n ] night is too quiet.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Night is sad and lonely.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
125 126 More kids lose parents in this[XENO:n ] attack. Like Désirée.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's hard to lose the people[XENO:n ] who matter in life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
126 126 Bit by bit the busy happy times[XENO:n ] like before come back.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]No more bad events like that[XENO:n ] again! I hope for that at least.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
127 126 Colony is safe and things look[XENO:n ] good. But there is still fight![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Can Colony 9 find a way to help?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Should think super hard about it.[XENO:n ] Time to do things has come![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
128 126 No scary monsters come to[XENO:n ] here or Frontier Village.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hope it stay like that![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
129 126 Frontier Village give me worry.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Rumour say Frontier Village take[XENO:n ] in refugees from Alcamoth.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hope no monsters chase after[XENO:n ] them to Frontier Village![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
130 126 When it gets this late, the really[XENO:n ] ravenous monsters come out![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You'd better be careful if you're[XENO:n ] going outside the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But you can also get some rare[XENO:n ] items if you defeat them![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ][XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
131 126 All our weapons contain a catalyst[XENO:n ] that reacts with ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So you just need to use your Arts[XENO:n ] to gain the benefit of that power.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I suppose there are some[XENO:n ] people who don't need that stuff.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
132 126 From now, it's not just monsters[XENO:n ] we have to watch out for.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's Mechon too![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If only we could mass-produce the[XENO:n ] Monado so everyone could use it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Sadly, that's not gonna happen![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
133 126 All our weapons contain a catalyst[XENO:n ] that reacts with ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So you just need to use your Arts[XENO:n ] to gain the benefit of that power.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I suppose there are some[XENO:n ] people who don't need that stuff.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
134 126 It's a nice feeling when you beat a[XENO:n ] monster that's stronger than you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's kind of epic, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just don't push it too hard![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Sometimes too strong is too[XENO:n ] strong. It won't end well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]None of your attacks will do any[XENO:n ] damage, and you'll end up...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well, let's just say you'll regret it.[XENO:n ] Trust me on this one![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
135 126 Years ago, I heard something[XENO:n ] interesting from a Colony 6 trader.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He said there are some monsters[XENO:n ] that only come out at night![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
136 126 Physical defence or[XENO:n ] ether defence?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You wanna know which[XENO:n ] matters most?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well that's obvious...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's both![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Haha, I'm just messing with you.[XENO:n ] Really it depends on the fight.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
137 126 Sometimes losing helps you take[XENO:n ] a step back and plan a bit better.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If it was a heavy ether attack that[XENO:n ] did you in, up your ether defence.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then go back and show 'em[XENO:n ] what you're made of![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
138 126 You know the big Ether Light right[XENO:n ] in the middle of the plaza?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well, I love that thing. There isn't[XENO:n ] any light prettier.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you think there's a prettier one[XENO:n ] out there, I'll go see it for myself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
139 126 You see the little bits[XENO:n ] of light in the sky?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Those are bits of ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're little energy particles[XENO:n ] released from the Bionis' body.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's ether everywhere.[XENO:n ] Everything's made with ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
140 126 Seeing the glow of ether has[XENO:n ] a really calming effect on me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I need that nowadays. Battle has[XENO:n ] left me with scars you can't see.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I hear there's an even prettier[XENO:n ] light in the Residential District.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I should go and see it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe it'll help me forget[XENO:n ] about the horrors of war.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
141 126 You see the little bits[XENO:n ] of light in the sky?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Those are bits of ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're little energy particles[XENO:n ] released from the Bionis' body.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's ether everywhere.[XENO:n ] Everything's made with ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
142 126 Apparently the famous light from[XENO:n ] the Residential District is gone.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Gone where? Who knows.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But people are still gathered[XENO:n ] in that same place.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Routine can be a great thing, but[XENO:n ] sometimes it seems like an illness.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
143 126 That mysterious light was ether?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then maybe the Bionis sent it[XENO:n ] forth to help us feel calm again.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The Bionis must have seen how[XENO:n ] much we've been wounded.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
144 126 The mysterious light has come[XENO:n ] back to the Residential District.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The Bionis must have[XENO:n ] a purpose for all this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It must see that we're in pain[XENO:n ] again and want to help us heal.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
145 126 I think it would be bad to look at[XENO:n ] the mysterious light all the time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We have to overcome our sorrow[XENO:n ] and keep moving forwards.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Otherwise every bump in the road[XENO:n ] will set us back more and more.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
146 126 So the light in the Residential[XENO:n ] District was just an ether lamp,[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]a bit like the one here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm glad it cheered people up[XENO:n ] for a little while, though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If it had been fixed straight away,[XENO:n ] that never would have happened.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
147 126 I think it would be bad to look at[XENO:n ] the mysterious light all the time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We have to overcome our sorrow[XENO:n ] and keep moving forwards.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Otherwise the next bump in the[XENO:n ] road will finish us off.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
148 126 There's an old woman who hangs[XENO:n ] around here every morning.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]She keeps ranting about[XENO:n ] the same thing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It sounds pretty suspicious to me[XENO:n ] though. Don't let her fool you![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
149 126 Hear me, people of Colony 9![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Heehee! I just wanted to try[XENO:n ] acting like that old woman.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't mind me![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
150 126 That old woman who was always[XENO:n ] speechifying is gone now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe she went to a far off land.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hope she's returned to her[XENO:n ] senses by the time she gets back![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
151 126 The truth is...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My grandma died without saying[XENO:n ] her last goodbyes to my parents.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So the circumstances are quite[XENO:n ] similar to this in a way.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've actually been quite worried[XENO:n ] about this old woman.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It was you that helped her,[XENO:n ] wasn't it? I'm so glad you did.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
152 126 Ugh, this little insect is[XENO:n ] really getting on my nerves![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Wait! I'm not talking about you![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
153 126 This insect is really irritating.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Look, there it is![XENO:n ] No, there![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Um... Could you try and[XENO:n ] catch it for me?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
154 126 It's so nice out, isn't it?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I love spending time outdoors[XENO:n ] when the weather's like this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
155 126 I wonder where King Squeeze[XENO:n ] has run off to?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He said he was going to hide[XENO:n ] somewhere no one would find him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wonder what that means?[XENO:n ] Maybe we'll never know...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
156 126 Do you know woman called Betty?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]As Homs go she very pretty![XENO:n ] She lives in nice house too.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
157 126 You want talk as well?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If not then pipe down![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
158 126 Our plans go well right now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Big thing will go well for me![XENO:n ] I just know it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
159 126 Big event will be big deal[XENO:n ] for colony I bet![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Me super excited! Yay![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
160 126 Fireworks make big smile[XENO:n ] on faces of all people![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Next time I hope we can[XENO:n ] set off 3000 in a row![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
161 126 Next time we'd need 1000 lots[XENO:n ] of gunpowder.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't think Betty's husband will[XENO:n ] give us that much. Me sad.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
162 126 It's always nice doing my[XENO:n ] vocal exercises at night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm a professional singer, but it's[XENO:n ] hard to practice during the day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Too many people around.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
163 126 My girlfriend only just started out[XENO:n ] as a singer, but she's so talented![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My dream is to sing a duet[XENO:n ] with her one day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
164 126 My girlfriend doesn't want to sing[XENO:n ] with me that often lately.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I think she might have got a sore[XENO:n ] throat from singing too hard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
165 126 Sometimes she has this certain[XENO:n ] look on her face.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Like she's got all this stuff[XENO:n ] going through her mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It has to just be a slump, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]No one can be geared up for[XENO:n ] singing all the time...right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
166 126 Even if there's no one to sing[XENO:n ] a duet with me, I'll sing on![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
167 126 My girlfriend's coming[XENO:n ] back to the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When she does, I'm gonna[XENO:n ] greet her with a new song![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's gonna be the best apology[XENO:n ] she's ever heard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
168 126 I bet Giorgio'd be a good fit.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]His curry's so popular.[XENO:n ] I bet he's raking it in.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
169 126 Hey! You're not part of the gang.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Get out of here![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
170 126 The plan's finally coming together![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not long to go now![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
171 126 You! Don't go telling anyone[XENO:n ] about our plan.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's got to stay secret.[XENO:n ] Otherwise there's no point.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
172 126 That Giorgio guy had his jaw[XENO:n ] hanging open as he looked up.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's how much our fireworks[XENO:n ] affected people.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Pretty amazing, huh?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
173 126 Even the toughest guy around has[XENO:n ] a soft heart underneath.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's what our fireworks[XENO:n ] tapped into.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Everyone's emotions came to the[XENO:n ] surface. People almost fainted![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
174 126 That artist, Kenny Rohan.[XENO:n ] He's a sound bloke, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]People don't just like him...[XENO:n ] They follow everything he does![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd say he's a good candidate.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
175 126 We're setting a plan in motion.[XENO:n ] Something big.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I know you want more info, but[XENO:n ] you're just gonna have to wait.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It'll be worth it though! Promise![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
176 126 The plan's about to stop being a[XENO:n ] plan and start being a...thing![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But don't give the game[XENO:n ] away too soon![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
177 126 Your job is following orders![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Stick to that and the plan's[XENO:n ] gonna go just great.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
178 126 Kenny Rohan normally does[XENO:n ] paintings and sculptures.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]This time he painted the sky and[XENO:n ] sculpted our hearts! Or something.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, those fireworks'll leave[XENO:n ] an impression, like all good art![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
179 126 It was Sesame's idea to make the[XENO:n ] fireworks all different colours.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Next time maybe we should try[XENO:n ] changing the shape of them too.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They could explode in square and[XENO:n ] triangle shapes.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I bet the kids'd love it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
180 126 How about Arnaut? He's a top[XENO:n ] researcher, y'know.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He's always hanging out by the[XENO:n ] bridge at night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He never looks all that busy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There'd be no trouble finding[XENO:n ] a chance to ask him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
181 126 We're trying to recruit people[XENO:n ] for our big, secret plan.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What are you here for?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Stop getting in the way[XENO:n ] of our recruiting![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
182 126 It's taken a really long time to[XENO:n ] sort this plan out. Phew![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And it couldn't have[XENO:n ] come at a better time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The colony's still reeling[XENO:n ] from the Mechon attack.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
183 126 Stop asking questions![XENO:n ] Just get on with your job.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
184 126 All I want is for our fireworks to[XENO:n ] have been the hope of the people.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]OK, maybe that's not realistic.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll be happy if it at least gave[XENO:n ] them one moment of joy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If it did, our plan was a success.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
185 126 I know we're not the colony's most[XENO:n ] respectable crowd. But y'know...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We do care about what happens[XENO:n ] to the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We've lived here our entire lives,[XENO:n ] just like everyone else.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Spreading a little happiness[XENO:n ] is the least we can do.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
186 126 There's a load of suspicious[XENO:n ] types huddled up in here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]No idea what they're talking about,[XENO:n ] but I want nothing to do with it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
187 126 Youths having these little[XENO:n ] gatherings night after night...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess it's a sign that life's[XENO:n ] getting back to normal.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I just hope they don't start[XENO:n ] causing any trouble.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
188 126 There's a load of suspicious[XENO:n ] types always huddled up in here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I dunno what they keep coming[XENO:n ] here to talk about.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Whatever it is, they've got much[XENO:n ] more rowdy about it lately.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
189 126 So many people died, but they[XENO:n ] seem happy enough.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Other people's grief is nothing[XENO:n ] to do with them I guess...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
190 126 Did you see the fireworks?[XENO:n ] They were incredible![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And to think, that's what those[XENO:n ] shady youths were up to all along.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I reckon they've done a good job[XENO:n ] of cheering everyone up.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]In these dark days, they literally[XENO:n ] managed to light up our lives.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
191 126 I do wish they'd announced the[XENO:n ] fireworks in advance.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There are some old folk who[XENO:n ] thought it was another attack.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And some people didn't get to see[XENO:n ] them, which is kind of a shame.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
192 126 Hi there, Shulk![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What's got you up[XENO:n ] and about so late?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Did you find some[XENO:n ] interesting junk?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
193 126 You're always making that face.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Like you want to be back in[XENO:n ] the lab right now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's fair enough. You're practically[XENO:n ] a professional at making weapons.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I bet you have this drive in you[XENO:n ] to keep making more and more![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's great and all, but make[XENO:n ] sure you get plenty of sleep too![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
194 126 Oh, Fiora! Where are[XENO:n ] you off to this late?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Really? You shouldn't go so far[XENO:n ] outside the colony, you know.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Shulk's probably in his own world.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He won't come and save you if[XENO:n ] you get attacked by monsters.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
195 126 If you're heading to Outlook Park,[XENO:n ] don't take this bridge.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Go the long way round instead.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Head towards the Central Plaza[XENO:n ] and take the bridge on the right.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then go around the Residential[XENO:n ] District. It's a much safer route.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Dunban would feel happier about it[XENO:n ] as well. He worries, you know.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
196 126 Oh, if it isn't Shulk and Fiora![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You two are pretty close. I see you[XENO:n ] together at all hours of the day![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just don't get too close and leave[XENO:n ] Reyn feeling left out. Poor guy![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
197 126 Shulk, don't be keeping[XENO:n ] Fiora out all night![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Dunban's sits at his window[XENO:n ] watching what you do.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm kidding! Come on, Dunban[XENO:n ] wouldn't do something so creepy.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]...Would he?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
198 126 Mag Mell Ruins? You want to leave[XENO:n ] the colony and follow the road.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Keep going all the way up and[XENO:n ] you'll reach Tephra Cave.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Cut through there and you're set![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
199 126 Getting there is awkward, but[XENO:n ] getting back? Piece of cake![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just face towards the colony and[XENO:n ] do take a big leap into the water![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You'll make a big splash,[XENO:n ] but you won't get hurt.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It'll cut your journey[XENO:n ] in half. At least![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
200 126 I heard what happened to Fiora.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's terrible. She had such[XENO:n ] a long life ahead of her.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I thought she would grow up, get[XENO:n ] married and have kids one day...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
201 126 During the attack, I jumped over[XENO:n ] that fence into the water.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It was a narrow escape. I don't[XENO:n ] think I'd have made it otherwise.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
202 126 Since you guys left, things haven't[XENO:n ] quite been the same around here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hope soon you can come back[XENO:n ] for good. I miss you![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
203 126 You four - Shulk, Reyn,[XENO:n ] Fiora, Dunban...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You're the pride of Colony 9.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We're all rooting for you.[XENO:n ] Keep fighting! For the colony![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
204 126 What's happening to the Bionis?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Everything I thought I knew[XENO:n ] is being turned on its head.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I mean, the Bionis? Moving?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm not surprised people are[XENO:n ] getting upset about it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
205 126 No one wants to see the[XENO:n ] colony go up in flames.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]No one wants to lose the place[XENO:n ] they've always called home.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That would be unbearable.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So everyone's fighting. Everyone's[XENO:n ] doing their best to help out.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't give up! We're supporting[XENO:n ] you all the way.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
206 126 Curry that Giorgio make is best[XENO:n ] curry of all![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Friends have tried it too?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
207 126 Must go early! In time for lunch![XENO:n ] Or Giorgio's curry sell out.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh no, hungry now but no curry.[XENO:n ] Tomorrow I eat curry. Yum![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
208 126 Giorgio keep Curry Shop open this[XENO:n ] late. Never even complain.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not surprise that all in Commercial[XENO:n ] District love him! He is good man.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
209 126 Hard to make food that yummy for[XENO:n ] Hom Hom and yummy for Nopon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Nopon like eat insect and things[XENO:n ] but Hom Hom think are yuck.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Giorgio make curry that all love.[XENO:n ] Very clever and great![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
210 126 These days Giorgio make not so[XENO:n ] good curry. I sad.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Before I want to eat every day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now I want to eat only[XENO:n ] once a week.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
211 126 As regular customer, change is[XENO:n ] good for Giorgio.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He can spend more time on making[XENO:n ] curry have rich taste.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hope soon he start to make[XENO:n ] curry slowly again.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
212 126 Yay! I knew Giorgio can make[XENO:n ] yummy curry again.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Curry so yummy it make me[XENO:n ] want to do dance of curry![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It because of daughter that[XENO:n ] Giorgio work so hard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That why curry even better[XENO:n ] than before slump![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
213 126 Working job and raising child at[XENO:n ] same time... I bet is tough![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Giorgio not just big and strong[XENO:n ] but clever and skilled too![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
214 126 The Nopon aren't just cute. They[XENO:n ] have good business acumen too![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And they show up in the[XENO:n ] most unexpected places.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hear there's nowhere on Bionis[XENO:n ] that you won't find Nopon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
215 126 There's this organisation called[XENO:n ] the Nopon Merchants.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hear they're really[XENO:n ] helpful to travellers.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]A lot of residents rely on them[XENO:n ] when they go outside the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
216 126 If you leave the colony, make[XENO:n ] good use of the Nopon Merchants![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You might have to look for[XENO:n ] them carefully, though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Some of them are really small![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
217 126 The shop here has got[XENO:n ] some new things in stock.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's quite exciting! I like just[XENO:n ] going and browsing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]A bit of window shopping[XENO:n ] doesn't cost a thing![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
218 126 I hear they're planning to[XENO:n ] reconstruct Colony 6.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's not all![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Apparently someone called[XENO:n ] Juju is overseeing it all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's what a Nopon Merchant[XENO:n ] told me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
219 126 I did hear about Colony 6[XENO:n ] being destroyed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's not all bad though, is it?[XENO:n ] Rebuilding is quite exciting![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I hope I get to help.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
220 126 I had no idea there were people[XENO:n ] called Machina living on Mechonis.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd never even heard of them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess they're the Mechonis[XENO:n ] equivalent of Homs?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
221 126 Maybe one day the Machina and[XENO:n ] the Homs will live together.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And maybe the High Entia and the[XENO:n ] Nopon will live together as well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then we could really say we've[XENO:n ] achieved peace. Don't you think?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
222 126 Buy one of these fabulous ether[XENO:n ] lamps! It'll brighten up any home![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Good quality products, just like[XENO:n ] the ones that light up the colony.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]In stock but going fast! 50% off![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
223 126 My ether lamps sell[XENO:n ] even better at night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You get a beautiful, romantic[XENO:n ] glow at 50% off![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
224 126 I suppose people aren't thinking[XENO:n ] about ether lamps right now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I have to try and sell them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's why they're 50% off![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
225 126 The Mechon were after people,[XENO:n ] not really buildings or goods.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]My ether lamps are safe, so it's[XENO:n ] business as usual for me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I just wish the death toll[XENO:n ] had 50% off.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
226 126 Ah, my ether lamp sales are back[XENO:n ] to normal these days.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now that we have the allied force,[XENO:n ] everyone's feeling positive.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Speaking of which, my prices are[XENO:n ] positively rock bottom! 50% off![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
227 126 Ether lamps glow because of[XENO:n ] ether, obviously.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But how do those Nopon[XENO:n ] pollen orbs work?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]As a lamp specialist, I'm quite[XENO:n ] intrigued. At least 50% intrigued.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
228 126 What in the world is going on?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe I shouldn't be standing[XENO:n ] around here selling lamps.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I should be running off. 50% off![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
229 126 Oh dear... We must have provoked[XENO:n ] the wrath of the Bionis![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Could it be because I was using[XENO:n ] its precious ether to power lamps?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What do I do? I sold so many[XENO:n ] of them at 50% off...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
230 126 Do you think it's safe for a woman[XENO:n ] to walk around alone at night?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now that I think of it, Colony 9[XENO:n ] isn't the most dangerous place.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Nothing bad goes on here and[XENO:n ] everyone's really nice![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
231 126 I hear such terrible conversations[XENO:n ] coming from the alley behind here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't think it's dangerous, but[XENO:n ] you won't catch me there at night![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
232 126 The conversations coming from the[XENO:n ] alley up top are very intense![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Makes me feel kind of unsafe...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
233 126 I'm sure they're just worried[XENO:n ] and anxious after the attack.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I hope they don't keep talking[XENO:n ] in such a rough manner forever![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
234 126 The people in the alleys down[XENO:n ] there have gone back to normal.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're not talking about such[XENO:n ] worrying topics anymore.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Looks like the colony's back to its[XENO:n ] usual level of safety and security![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
235 126 Even when the Mechon attack, the[XENO:n ] people of Colony 9 don't despair.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's just the kind of people[XENO:n ] we are. It's business as usual.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's why I feel safe here[XENO:n ] even on my own at night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
236 126 Did you know that our bodies[XENO:n ] are made from ether?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not just our bodies, actually.[XENO:n ] That chair over there, too![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And erm...rocks, I guess...?[XENO:n ] Anyway, lots of things![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Everything in the world is[XENO:n ] made from ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's like...the base element![XENO:n ] Of everything![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
237 126 There's even research that proves[XENO:n ] the Bionis is made of ether![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But the ether deposits kind of[XENO:n ] prove that anyway, don't they?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're just hard lumps of ether[XENO:n ] shot out from inside the Bionis.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
238 126 Did you know that our bodies[XENO:n ] are made from ether?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not just our bodies, actually.[XENO:n ] That chair over there, too![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And erm...rocks, I guess...?[XENO:n ] Anyway, lots of things![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Everything in the world is[XENO:n ] made from ether.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's like...the base element![XENO:n ] Of everything![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
239 126 There's even research that proves[XENO:n ] the Bionis is made of ether![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But the ether deposits kind of[XENO:n ] prove that anyway, don't they?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They're just hard lumps of ether[XENO:n ] shot out from inside the Bionis.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
240 126 If you're going travelling,[XENO:n ] you want to be careful![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The areas beyond Tephra Cave[XENO:n ] are meant to be really dangerous.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Who knows what kind of[XENO:n ] monsters there'll be out there?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There might be, erm...[XENO:n ] I dunno. Scary ones![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
241 126 Erm... Do you think the Mechon[XENO:n ] will come back again?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]A lot of people I love were taken[XENO:n ] by the Mechon. So...I'm scared.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
242 126 Do you need money?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then, erm...why not see if anyone[XENO:n ] around here needs any help?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]People who are grateful will[XENO:n ] always want to give you stuff.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's give and take. That's[XENO:n ] how the world works![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
243 126 It's not just here that you'll find[XENO:n ] people with problems to sort out.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The world is full of people[XENO:n ] who are full of issues![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Be on the lookout![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
244 126 Why the long face?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's no need to look so[XENO:n ] broken down and...broke![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you're strapped for cash,[XENO:n ] take a look in your Journal![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There must be tons of quests you[XENO:n ] agreed to and then forgot about.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]People will pay good money[XENO:n ] for your help, you know.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
245 126 Even if you don't have any money[XENO:n ] there's always trading.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So, erm... What are[XENO:n ] you waiting for?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Go! There's trading to be done![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
246 126 Friends ever trade before?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Me very best at trading![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Stuff that hard to find on own[XENO:n ] and can't buy from shop?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Easy-peasy! Friends[XENO:n ] can just trade for it![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If friends find person who like to[XENO:n ] trade, friends should try it out![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
247 126 Important thing in trading is[XENO:n ] affinity with other person![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Low affinity means they not trade[XENO:n ] good stuff with you. That sad![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So make affinity higher to trade[XENO:n ] for super great stuff![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
248 126 Hey you! Ever trade before?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Me best very good at trade![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Stuff that hard to find on own[XENO:n ] and can't buy from shop?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Can trade for easy-peasy![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If find person who like[XENO:n ] trade, you try out![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
249 126 Important thing in trading is[XENO:n ] affinity with other person![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Low affinity and won't trade good[XENO:n ] stuff with you. That make sad.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So make deep affinity to trade[XENO:n ] and get super great stuff![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
250 126 Trade for items is useful![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Quick way to get hard to find[XENO:n ] materials and collectables.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hard part is finding person with[XENO:n ] item you want though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
251 126 Me hear gossip that Françoise[XENO:n ] have very good item.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Name is Sorrow Beetle.[XENO:n ] Sound yummy![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now me want yummy[XENO:n ] Sorrow Beetle.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
252 126 Hey you! Have deep affinity[XENO:n ] with people in Colony 9?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Deep affinity! Fun trading![XENO:n ] First lead to second![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
253 126 Me hear very yummy gossip![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Liliana have yummy item for trade.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You should go trade![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
254 126 Dorothy have awesome item![XENO:n ] That is the rumour![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But me not know how she got it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
255 126 Me hear Niranira have[XENO:n ] item he love![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Is it wrong to ask littlepon to trade[XENO:n ] for treasure he love so much?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Me think if both of you get good[XENO:n ] deal, then everyone be happy![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
256 126 [XENO:qst_start ]Oh, Shulk, there you are! I've[XENO:n ] been looking everywhere for you![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've broken my watch.[XENO:n ] Look, it's in pieces![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm terrible with machines.[XENO:n ] Even little ones like this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Would you mind fixing it for me?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
257 126 You don't have to be good with[XENO:n ] machines to be careful with them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You just have to be careful.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Wasn't your father good with[XENO:n ] machines?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd have thought fixing things'd be[XENO:n ] the first thing he'd teach you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
258 126 Not just good, he was amazing![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When I was little I used to marvel[XENO:n ] at how he swung that hammer.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But he's gone now. And as hard[XENO:n ] as I try, I can't be like he was.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
259 126 I'm... I'm sorry, Désirée.[XENO:n ] I didn't mean to be rude.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
260 126 Aww, it's so easy to make[XENO:n ] you go all timid![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Seriously, don't worry about it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's been a year since then.[XENO:n ] I'm back on my feet.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, are you going to[XENO:n ] fix my watch or not?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
261 126 [XENO:qst qst=10 ]
262 126 Brilliant! I'll leave it in[XENO:n ] your capable hands.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
263 126 It's in pretty bad shape.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll have to use the equipment in[XENO:n ] the lab, so it might take a while.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
264 126 I suppose it is asking a bit much.[XENO:n ] You've got a lot to do these days.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But if you change your mind, it'll[XENO:n ] still be just as broken as ever.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Come back and get it anytime![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
265 126 How's my watch looking?[XENO:n ] You didn't forget, did you?![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
266 126 You fixed it?![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Thanks, Shulk![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll take much better care of it[XENO:n ] from now on, I promise![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
267 126 Shulk... What would you say if[XENO:n ] I told you I broke it on purpose?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So I had an excuse to talk to you?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Kidding! Kidding![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Come on, calm down.[XENO:n ] I was only joking.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:trust trust= p:1:c ]Anyway, thanks again.[XENO:n ] You're so reliable![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
268 126 [XENO:qst_start ]Shulk... You've been doing[XENO:n ] a lot of good deeds lately.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The helpless and the hopeless[XENO:n ] alike... You fixed their problems.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm not exactly that desperate,[XENO:n ] but I am a bit lost at the moment.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's been a year now. I need to[XENO:n ] decide what I'm doing with my life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
269 126 I'm so confused.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's really been getting to me[XENO:n ] recently. Can I ask your advice?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
270 126 I know you're bad with machines[XENO:n ] but you can do other things.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You don't need to worry.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
271 126 It's not just about money.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I sold my dad's shop, and that's[XENO:n ] left me in an OK situation for now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Wait, that's not what I wanted[XENO:n ] to talk about![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Come on, Shulk! Listen to me![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
272 126 [XENO:qst qst=41 ]
273 126 Thanks. This could be a bit of[XENO:n ] a long chat, so bear that in mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
274 126 Oh, fine. I'll just talk to myself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
275 126 OK, Shulk. Which career path do[XENO:n ] you think would suit me best?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
276 126 [XENO:jaw jaw=off ][XENO:sel sel=・Soldier/・Sculptor ][XENO:del del=all ]
277 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:c ]You think I'd make a good soldier?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It would feel nice to be able[XENO:n ] to protect people.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe I'll even find a nice soldier[XENO:n ] boy! That part's just between us.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Becoming a soldier could set me[XENO:n ] up for life. Good idea![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
278 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:c ]It's important to try new things.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Better to regret doing something[XENO:n ] than regret not doing it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's what I always say! Though[XENO:n ] I try to be a bit more eloquent.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, I've made my decision.[XENO:n ] Thank you![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
279 126 You're welcome, but I don't[XENO:n ] think I actually did anything.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
280 126 Oh, stop being so pessimistic![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You gave me the push I needed![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
281 126 Now I sort of wish I hadn't.[XENO:n ] What if it all goes wrong?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
282 126 You worry too much, Shulk![XENO:n ] It'll be fine, I guarantee.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I never realised before, but you're[XENO:n ] pessimistic as well sometimes.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I think it's nice in a way. It shows[XENO:n ] how kind and caring you are.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But most of the time it's still[XENO:n ] better to be confident in yourself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
283 126 You're right.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But you should remember to take[XENO:n ] your own advice, Désirée.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
284 126 True. I really have to do my[XENO:n ] best in my new career.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Otherwise I'll be eroding your[XENO:n ] self-confidence as well as mine![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's all the motivation I need.[XENO:n ] So...thanks for everything![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
285 126 I know I'm always wandering[XENO:n ] around out here at night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But it's not just for the sake of it.[XENO:n ] I have a good reason.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm mulling over my future.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm mulling as hard as I can, in the[XENO:n ] hope that I'll figure it all out.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Narrowing down the[XENO:n ] options is so difficult.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's taken about the same amount[XENO:n ] of time as you've spent fighting.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you'll let me tell you about it,[XENO:n ] we could both take a short break![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
286 126 That's fine with me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
287 126 It is? Thanks! You always do[XENO:n ] make such a good listener.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've got to a point where I've[XENO:n ] narrowed it down to two options.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But now I can't decide[XENO:n ] between them![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've spent forever thinking it over.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I just can't know for sure which[XENO:n ] one would suit me best.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I think I'll go crazy unless[XENO:n ] someone helps me choose![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
288 126 I can see the problem.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
289 126 I knew you would![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, next time we chat[XENO:n ] I'll tell you all the details.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
290 126 OK, so... The first career path I'm[XENO:n ] considering is the Defence Force.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't tell me! Your first thought[XENO:n ] was: Her? A soldier? No way![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well, think again.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm actually a really good shot.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The lieutenant even told me I'd[XENO:n ] soon be an expert if I signed up![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But there are some drawbacks.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]One, fighting is really dangerous.[XENO:n ] Fine, that one's a bit obvious.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Two... I'm very bad with machines.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What if it turns out I can't[XENO:n ] service my gun properly?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I won't even be able to train![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But if it works out, I could do all[XENO:n ] right for myself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The pay is good, and I think[XENO:n ] I'd enjoy the lifestyle.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
291 126 There are definitely some good[XENO:n ] arguments on both sides.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you mind if I think it over?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
292 126 Not at all. I've certainly spent[XENO:n ] long enough doing that![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
293 126 Right. The other career path[XENO:n ] I might try to go down is...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Being a sculptor. Don't laugh![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've got a budding interest in it.[XENO:n ] I carved a pendant out of wood![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wouldn't say I'm that good yet,[XENO:n ] but it's so much fun.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I could become Kenny Rohan's[XENO:n ] pupil and learn properly.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There are problems with[XENO:n ] this option too though.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]One, it doesn't pay very well.[XENO:n ] At all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Two, it's not exactly the most[XENO:n ] social of activities.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd probably have nobody to talk to[XENO:n ] all day but my own sculptures.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Possibly not the best career path[XENO:n ] if I'm trying to land a man![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I do enjoy it a lot.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
294 126 [XENO:type type=anger ]Do you mind?![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
295 126 I know my explanation is a bit[XENO:n ] long-winded and annoying.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But that's just because it[XENO:n ] matters so much to me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Let's take a deep breath[XENO:n ] and carry on.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm nearly finished.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
296 126 Realistically, I'm sure I'd be[XENO:n ] able to do either job.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I have an innate ability for one[XENO:n ] and a keen interest in the other.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I guess there's no wrong answer.[XENO:n ] They'll both have ups and downs.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But that's exactly why it's[XENO:n ] so hard to decide![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You pick for me instead.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
297 126 Me? But it's your life we're talking[XENO:n ] about. Your entire life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
298 126 Don't worry![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I won't hold a grudge against you.[XENO:n ] In fact, I won't have any regrets.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Whatever you decide, I'll do it[XENO:n ] and never look back.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But there's no hurry. I'll wait until[XENO:n ] you've thought about it properly.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
299 126 I really need some advice.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Actually, no, don't worry. Really[XENO:n ] it's Shulk I'd like to speak to.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
300 126 [XENO:qst_start ]I'm used to being in debt,[XENO:n ] but never this badly![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll never be able to pay[XENO:n ] the whole lot back...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And the total keeps growing[XENO:n ] bigger and bigger and bigger...![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The worst part is, it's affecting my[XENO:n ] ability to write anything decent.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So I barely have any kind of[XENO:n ] cash flow coming in at all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
301 126 The bloke who lent me the money[XENO:n ] is really turning the screws.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I dunno what I can do, but I have[XENO:n ] to keep up payments somehow...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
302 126 [XENO:qst qst=14 ]
303 126 I guess there's nothing for it but[XENO:n ] to work twice as hard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I can't let my girlfriend down.[XENO:n ] Her smile is all that matters to me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
304 126 You think I'm pressing our good[XENO:n ] friend Leopold for too much?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]For money he doesn't have?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:trust trust= p:1:a:56:3 ]I can't deny it. But I'm not an[XENO:n ] unreasonable moneylender.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I just want him to pay back[XENO:n ] the money he owes me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Is that so much to ask?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He could do it if he just stopped[XENO:n ] splashing out on his girlfriend.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then his wages could go to[XENO:n ] paying me back instead.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And then we'd be square. I'd[XENO:n ] gladly call the whole thing off.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
305 126 What? What d'ya want?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You can wipe that suspicious[XENO:n ] look off your face for a start![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's nothing going on here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
306 126 [XENO:qst qst=15 ]
307 126 You honestly think I'd make lovely[XENO:n ] Sylviane do such a thing?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Tsk, tsk, tsk. You better watch[XENO:n ] that imagination of yours, kid.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Not everything has to be[XENO:n ] some big conspiracy![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
308 126 Me and King Squeeze?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Uh-oh... Have we been rumbled?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
309 126 I suppose I should spill the beans[XENO:n ] now the cat's out of the bag.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He's been squeezing his 'clients'[XENO:n ] really hard lately.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't want to work[XENO:n ] for him anymore.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you want to confront him though,[XENO:n ] I know just how to do it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You could find his Top-Secret[XENO:n ] Orders I chucked away![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I threw them off the[XENO:n ] Central Plaza.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hopefully the orders aren't ruined[XENO:n ] by now and you can still find them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
310 126 You can do whatever you like.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Leopold's good to me. You can't[XENO:n ] stop him looking after me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
311 126 I threw the Top-Secret Orders[XENO:n ] off the Central Plaza.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you're in luck, you might still[XENO:n ] find them down in the water.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
312 126 Me and Sylviane aren't up[XENO:n ] to nothing![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You can't prove it even if we are![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That imagination of yours is gonna[XENO:n ] get you into trouble![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
313 126 I can't believe it![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]These are the orders I wrote[XENO:n ] for Sylviane![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What's wrong with her? She should[XENO:n ] have got rid of this properly![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I have a business to protect and[XENO:n ] she just leaves this lying around![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:trust trust= p:1:e:56:2 ]All right, fine. I won't keep[XENO:n ] hounding Leopold for money.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll tell the girl to stop bleeding[XENO:n ] him dry of all his money, too.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And as a show of good faith,[XENO:n ] I won't let you go empty-handed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm a nice guy, what d'ya expect?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
314 126 But I'll need something in return.[XENO:n ] Keep this incident to yourself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]After all, it's not my fault he[XENO:n ] borrows money recklessly.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He spends, he borrows. He's got[XENO:n ] no one else to blame but himself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
315 126 Hold on... You say Sylviane's been[XENO:n ] working for King Squeeze?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Right under my nose,[XENO:n ] this whole time?![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So what was their plan?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Make Sylviane spend all my money[XENO:n ] so I have to borrow more?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then hit me up for the[XENO:n ] repayments?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
316 126 Nah, it can't be.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That girl's been a big spender[XENO:n ] since the day she was born.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]She would never spend my money[XENO:n ] to line King Squeeze's pockets.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
317 126 But... If King Squeeze's business[XENO:n ] falls apart...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Wouldn't that mean my debts'll[XENO:n ] disappear with him?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What a plan! It's brilliant![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
318 126 Sorry this is a bit out of the blue,[XENO:n ] but I need a favour from you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Can you get your hands on some[XENO:n ] Caterpile Poison for me?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then, distract King Squeeze and[XENO:n ] secretly slip it in his pocket.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I intend to arrange an interview[XENO:n ] with him for a fake article.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Something like, 'Colony 9's[XENO:n ] Top Earners of the Year.'[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He'll take the bait, we'll meet and[XENO:n ] I 'coincidentally' find the poison.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He gets incriminated, loses face,[XENO:n ] and his 'business' is finished![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He'll never show his face around[XENO:n ] here again![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
319 126 Five lots of Caterpile Poison[XENO:n ] should do the trick.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then chat to King Squeeze and[XENO:n ] slip the poison in his pocket.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
320 126 Oh, you again.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm a busy man, you know.[XENO:n ] Time is money. What d'ya want?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh I know. Leopold's too chicken[XENO:n ] to come give me my money![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
321 126 Hello? Anybody in there?[XENO:n ] Cat got your tongue or something?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you don't have anything to say,[XENO:n ] get on ya bike! Go on, hop it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
322 126 If you don't have anything to say,[XENO:n ] get on ya bike! Go on, hop it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
323 126 You hid the poison in his pocket?[XENO:n ] Right then, it's all set.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll go and 'find' it and make[XENO:n ] a big, ugly scene in public.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then I can write the real story -[XENO:n ] an exposé on his dodgy deals.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And then King Squeeze is finished![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
324 126 You should have seen his face![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:trust trust= p:1:e:56:1 ]Now he'll be off my back forever![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I reckon things'll be OK[XENO:n ] with my girlfriend too.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now I'll be able to write without[XENO:n ] worrying about my pile of debt.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Cheers![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
325 126 [XENO:qst_start ]What's with the face?[XENO:n ] You wanna join us?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Come on! We're short[XENO:n ] of members anyhow.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You came because you heard[XENO:n ] about my plan, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
326 126 Well, you'll know soon enough.[XENO:n ] Better late than never, eh?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
327 126 I hope you're not expecting us to[XENO:n ] take part in some fiendish scheme.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
328 126 Everyone has their own idea[XENO:n ] of what justice is.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe you don't like mine, but[XENO:n ] is that really my problem?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, getting back[XENO:n ] to the point...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
329 126 Here's your first job.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
330 126 [XENO:qst qst=20 ]
331 126 Go to Tephra Cave and collect[XENO:n ] some Croaking Brog Bags for me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You're one of us now.[XENO:n ] Don't let me down![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
332 126 Really? That's too bad.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then you were never here and[XENO:n ] I was never here...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
333 126 Remember, keep this[XENO:n ] under your hat.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't go mouthing off about this[XENO:n ] stuff. This is between you and me![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't tell a soul![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
334 126 So you spoke to her?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then hand it over. Come on,[XENO:n ] I know she gave you something.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Yup, no doubt about it.[XENO:n ] This is the real thing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Good work![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
335 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:c:38:2 ]Did she say something?[XENO:n ] Actually, nah, forget I asked.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's all for now. I should have[XENO:n ] another job for you later.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And no complaints, even if it's[XENO:n ] just another courier job![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
336 126 Did you get them all?[XENO:n ] Good work, man![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You're learning the ropes fast.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now you need to take these to the[XENO:n ] Residential District and see Betty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Betty's normally around during the[XENO:n ] day. Go and have a chat with her.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't let me down![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
337 126 [XENO:qst_start ]Oh, there you are.[XENO:n ] Just in the nick of time![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Got any idea what my plan[XENO:n ] is about yet? No?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
338 126 You still haven't cottoned on?![XENO:n ] Come on, it's so obvious![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, you're one of us.[XENO:n ] No backing out now![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
339 126 I want you to stop whatever it is[XENO:n ] your doing, Sesame.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I know you're up to no good.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
340 126 That's for me to decide, not you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong.[XENO:n ] But I have to see it through.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And it's too late to drop it now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
341 126 Right then, here's your next job.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's sort of like your last job...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Nah, it's EXACTLY like it.[XENO:n ] Hahaha![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
342 126 [XENO:qst qst=21 ]
343 126 If you go to Cliff Lake, you'll find[XENO:n ] tons of Colony Krabbles there.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Gather up some Iron Krabble[XENO:n ] Shells from them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh yeah. Now that I think of it,[XENO:n ] they only come out at night.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But remember, you're one of us![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We know you can get this done.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
344 126 You're not gonna do it?![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well, fine. Forget everything I told[XENO:n ] you. I was never here![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
345 126 Remember, keep this[XENO:n ] under your hat.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You're one of us, one of the gang.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't tell a soul![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
346 126 You got the package off him?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Excellent! I owe you one.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
347 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:d:46:2 ]He didn't mention anything else,[XENO:n ] did he?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Actually, it doesn't matter.[XENO:n ] Don't worry about him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Your last job is coming up.[XENO:n ] I'm sure you can pull it off.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
348 126 You got 'em?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Like clockwork as usual![XENO:n ] You're an asset to my team.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]According to the list,[XENO:n ] the next job is...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Going and having a chat with our[XENO:n ] artist friend, Kenny Rohan.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He should have something[XENO:n ] to give you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The only thing is, he has this[XENO:n ] tendency to move around a lot.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You might need to hunt him down.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
349 126 [XENO:qst_start ]Now for the final stage of my plan![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You must know what our[XENO:n ] plan is by now! Come on![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
350 126 Are you serious? You still[XENO:n ] haven't figured it out?![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You've done well to get this far[XENO:n ] being as dense as you are![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just keep quiet and play along.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
351 126 If we disapprove of your intent, we[XENO:n ] can stop you whenever we please.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You may wish to bear this in mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
352 126 What is this? You're planning to[XENO:n ] take us down from the inside?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Well, you've proved yourself to me[XENO:n ] and I still have use for you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
353 126 This time I need you to[XENO:n ] defeat a monster.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It might be my toughest task yet,[XENO:n ] but I think you're up to it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Besides, this is the final stage.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And like they always say...[XENO:n ] All's well that ends well![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
354 126 [XENO:qst qst=22 ]
355 126 Dark Murakmor appears near[XENO:n ] Anti-Air Battery 3.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]This is exactly the kind of time it[XENO:n ] shows up. I'd head there now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]All we need is for you to beat it.[XENO:n ] Don't let me down![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
356 126 Tsk... You come this far and you[XENO:n ] give up at the last hurdle?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What, Colony 9 ain't important[XENO:n ] enough to you?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
357 126 Remember, keep it all under[XENO:n ] your hat.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't go repeating this to anyone![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
358 126 Oh, you're back.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hey, don't look at me like that![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just look up at the sky![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
359 126 Everything's so dark and[XENO:n ] gloomy these days.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]No one has anything happy[XENO:n ] to talk about.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So we figured if we couldn't[XENO:n ] light up people's lives...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And we did it with fireworks![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Only three though. Too bad, huh?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
360 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:f:38:4 ]Betty's husband makes gunpowder[XENO:n ] so that's what she gave me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then we asked Kenny Rohan to[XENO:n ] design the fireworks for us.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Isn't it great when everyone's[XENO:n ] ready to club together like this?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
361 126 This is the first time we've really[XENO:n ] tried it, but it turned out great![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We should all give ourselves[XENO:n ] a big pat on the back.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What? You think I should have[XENO:n ] been clearer from the get-go?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But that ain't no fun![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wanted to surprise everyone![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's why it all had to[XENO:n ] be tip top secret.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
362 126 Now, about your reward...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's right, I'm not about to[XENO:n ] let you leave empty-handed![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I care about my friends[XENO:n ] and cohorts.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hey, don't look so surprised![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Here you go.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
363 126 You beat it? Great going![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]While you were gone, I got[XENO:n ] almost everything ready.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now I need you to head to[XENO:n ] the Commercial District entrance.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then take a look at the street light[XENO:n ] just near there.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Go on... It needs double-checking.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
364 126 Then what?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
365 126 Then...come back here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
366 126 [XENO:type type=anger ]Kaboom![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
367 126 You've come this far. Might[XENO:n ] as well go the whole hog![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now, go check on that street light.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
368 126 Couldn't you hurry it up a bit?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you need time to think,[XENO:n ] do it on the way![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
369 126 [XENO:qst_start ]Oh, hello.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm glad you're here. I have[XENO:n ] another favour to ask.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Don't worry! I won't talk your[XENO:n ] ear off again this time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
370 126 I hope you can help.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've had a bit of a falling out[XENO:n ] with my friend Betty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We've been friends for 10 years,[XENO:n ] but something's torn us apart...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And it's Kenny Rohan.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Betty's a really big fan of his,[XENO:n ] you see.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And now I've become his pupil[XENO:n ] without even telling her.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't blame her for getting upset.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I need to go and apologise.[XENO:n ] Try and make up with her.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I want to give her a present[XENO:n ] at the same time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm sure you're sick of this[XENO:n ] kind of thing by now...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But you wouldn't mind collecting[XENO:n ] some stuff for me, would you?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
371 126 Growing apart from someone you[XENO:n ] call a friend is truly unfortunate.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
372 126 I'm glad you agree, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And since you feel that strongly, I[XENO:n ] would really appreciate your help.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
373 126 I need two Krabble Artworks and[XENO:n ] two Laughing Brog Bags.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You can find both in Colony 9,[XENO:n ] so you won't have to look too far.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Could you also go to Eryth Sea[XENO:n ] and get four Night Lilies?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
374 126 [XENO:qst qst=43 ]
375 126 Thank you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I know you help a lot of people, so[XENO:n ] you might not remember them all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But you really threw me a lifeline[XENO:n ] in my hour of need.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll never forget that![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
376 126 Oh, please! Just one more favour![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
377 126 Get two Krabble Artworks from[XENO:n ] Solid Krabbles in Colony 9.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Then fight some Heavy Brogs and[XENO:n ] get two Laughing Brog Bags.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Finally, visit Eryth Sea and get[XENO:n ] four Night Lilies.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll be waiting. Don't take too long![XENO:n ] I want to make up with Betty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
378 126 Did you find everything?[XENO:n ] Yay! I knew you would![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You're so dependable. More than[XENO:n ] anyone else in the whole colony![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Now I just need to make my[XENO:n ] present for Betty...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
379 126 [XENO:trust trust= p:1:d:36:4 ]And...finished! I just know Betty'll[XENO:n ] forgive me when she sees this![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Thank you. You've saved[XENO:n ] my life again.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
380 126 Oh, goodness! I'm glad to see you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Thanks ever so much[XENO:n ] for the other day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I assume you're here to collect[XENO:n ] your reward from Bafalgar Tomb?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
381 126 Oh, before that, let me tell[XENO:n ] you something exciting.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Thanks to those two books, I've[XENO:n ] learnt so much about the Giants.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It turns out that the Giants' fate[XENO:n ] was linked to the White Spiders.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
382 126 The Giant in the coffin was in fact[XENO:n ] the Giants' Soothsayer.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The Soothsayer subjugated[XENO:n ] the White Spiders.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But when the Soothsayer died,[XENO:n ] the White Spiders were freed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's when they started[XENO:n ] to amass power.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So the Giants offered sacrifices[XENO:n ] in order to avoid a war![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
383 126 But the Giants' numbers grew[XENO:n ] ever smaller.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Soon the oppressors had clearly[XENO:n ] become the oppressed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They were unable to fight back[XENO:n ] against the White Spiders.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They were forced to live a meagre[XENO:n ] existence behind closed doors.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
384 126 Oh, don't worry. I didn't forget[XENO:n ] about your reward.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Here is a Giants' treasure that's[XENO:n ] been passed down in my family.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've always wanted to research[XENO:n ] and find out more about it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But after reading these books, I[XENO:n ] now know there are three of them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]One is meaningless on its own but[XENO:n ] I know you can find the others.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I shall leave it in your[XENO:n ] capable hands![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
385 126 I want to make some kid-sized[XENO:n ] armour for my son.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Problem is, I don't have[XENO:n ] enough Small Scales.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Mind helping me out?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
386 126 [XENO:qst qst=68 ]
387 126 You'll get it for me? Thanks![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You can get Small Scales by[XENO:n ] defeating Piranhaxes.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hope it's not too much trouble![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
388 126 No problem.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll still be here later, so come[XENO:n ] back if you change your mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
389 126 I'm thinking of making some kind[XENO:n ] of trap for catching insects.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I just don't have time to get[XENO:n ] all the materials I need.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Will you help a guy out?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
390 126 [XENO:qst qst=72 ]
391 126 Thanks! I can't wait[XENO:n ] to start building it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
392 126 Maybe I didn't ask politely enough.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I have a problem with that.[XENO:n ] At least, that's what my wife says.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Anyway, there's no rush. Talk to[XENO:n ] me again if you change your mind.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Er...please![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
393 126 You got a minute?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm thinking about moving[XENO:n ] out of here, you see.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you reckon Colony 6 sounds[XENO:n ] like my kind of place?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]From what I hear, I could really[XENO:n ] make something of myself there.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I could give something back to[XENO:n ] the colony, make a difference.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They must need lookouts.[XENO:n ] What do you think?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
394 126 You got a minute?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm thinking about moving[XENO:n ] out of here, you see.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you reckon Colony 6 sounds[XENO:n ] like my kind of place?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]From what I hear, I could really[XENO:n ] make something of myself there.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I heard they built a watchtower.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd love to volunteer towards[XENO:n ] helping with the reconstruction![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What do you think?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
395 126 [XENO:jaw jaw=off ][XENO:tail_off ][XENO:sel sel=・Invite to Colony 6/・Do nothing ][XENO:del del=all ]
396 126 Haha, yes![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Goodbye, Colony 9![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's off to greener pastures[XENO:n ] for me! The new frontier![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm not gonna hang around[XENO:n ] a second longer. See you there![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
397 126 Well... I guess I'll hang around[XENO:n ] here for a while longer.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I still think I could be[XENO:n ] a big help in Colony 6.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you think so too, let's chat[XENO:n ] about it again sometime.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
