qev060202_SEL0011 |
Wake Phoskeran from his nap in the trailer.[ST:wait ] |

qev060202_JNK0020 |
Ignore[ST:wait ] |

|
qev060202_SEL0021 |
Let Phoskeran sleep.[ST:wait ] |

...Mmm? *fsssh* I have the strangest sensation I was[ST:n ]just telling someone about how I was trying to sleep.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev060202_MSG0006 |
Was that a dream? Is that what dreams are? *fsssh*[ST:n ]That was my first one. How very human of me![ST:wait ] |

qev060202_MSG0007 |
Nrk... Still sleeping... *fsssh* Stiiiiill sleeping... Zzz...[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev060202_MSG0008 |
And what is it you are doing there? *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev060202_MSG0009 |
Vigil forfexes wander this area, so it's not the sort of[ST:n ]place you want to be just...standing around. *fsssh*[ST:n ]There, for instance. Take a look to the left.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev060202_MSG0010 |
Will you be fighting them now? Good luck to you.[ST:n ]I will be cheering you on from inside my car. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev060202_MSG0011 |
Well, that was rather impressive! *fsssh*[ST:n ]I feel wide awake after watching that display.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev060202_MSG0012 |
So, once again, what is it you are doing here? *fsssh*[ST:n ]Just wandering the land beating up indigens in order to[ST:n ]quell your violent urges?[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev060202_JNK0030 |
Confirm |
| 20 |
|
qev060202_SEL0031 |
Nod grimly. |
| 21 |
|
qev060202_JNK0040 |
Deny |
| 22 |
|
qev060202_SEL0041 |
Tell Phoskeran that you were sent to help him. |
| 23 |
|
qev060202_MSG0013 |
May the mercy of Golbogga be upon the vigil forfexes[ST:n ]who fell prey to your terrifying bloodlust. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev060202_MSG0014 |
Sooo...what now? *fsssh* May I assume from your[ST:n ]remaining here that I am to be your next victim?[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev060202_MSG0015 |
...No? Horonalderon sent you to assist me?[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev060202_MSG0016 |
That was an attempt at the \"deadpan humor\" you[ST:n ]humans are so fond of. *fsssh* Do not, as your kind[ST:n ]says, leave me hanging here.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev060202_MSG0017 |
So...what? Did Horonalderon send you to monitor me?[ST:n ]*fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev060202_MSG0018 |
Now that I think of it, he DID tell me to report in with[ST:n ]every little detail. *fsssh* But I didn't think that was[ST:n ]really necessary, so I haven't bothered.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev060202_MSG0019 |
...Hmm? What was I doing here?[ST:n ]Well, I had just acquired some exceptionally potent[ST:n ]voltant, so I was treating myself to a rest. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev060202_MSG0020 |
All right, all right. If you're in such a hurry, I'll set out.[ST:n ]*fsssh* That Horonalderon is such a worrier...[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev060202_MSG0021 |
Ah! *fsssh* The one from Primordia![ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev060202_MSG0022 |
Lately, I have been working to master the concept of[ST:n ]the human \"metaphor.\" Might you have a moment to[ST:n ]chat with me? *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev060202_JNK0050 |
Agree |
| 34 |
|
qev060202_SEL0051 |
Stay put and hear Phoskeran out. |
| 35 |
|
qev060202_JNK0060 |
Decline |
| 36 |
|
qev060202_SEL0061 |
Say that you're busy at the moment. |
| 37 |
|
qev060202_MSG0023 |
Wonderful! *fsssh* Horonalderon is running about[ST:n ]in a panic and won't listen to me.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev060202_MSG0024 |
I see. Thank you for sharing that. *fsssh*[ST:n ]...But here is my metaphor anyway.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev060202_MSG0025 |
*fsssh* Let us say that—metaphorically speaking—[ST:n ]a human in a black mask suddenly jumped in front[ST:n ]of the trailer I was driving.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev060202_MSG0026 |
He then metaphorically told me he was planning to use[ST:n ]the voltant we gathered to destroy New LA. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev060202_MSG0027 |
Finally, that clearly volatile human metaphorically drove[ST:n ]off in the trailer, which contains voltant strong enough[ST:n ]to knock you humans out in just one whiff. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev060202_MSG0028 |
Is that bad? *fsssh* ...Metaphorically, of course.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev060202_JNK0070 |
Confirm |
| 44 |
|
qev060202_SEL0071 |
Tell Phoskeran it would be very bad.[ST:n ]...Metaphorically. |
| 45 |
|
qev060202_JNK0080 |
Correct |
| 46 |
|
qev060202_SEL0081 |
Tell Phoskeran that isn't how metaphors work. |
| 47 |
|
qev060202_MSG0029 |
Ah! Excellent. I THOUGHT that might be bad. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev060202_MSG0030 |
Er, but was that a proper metaphor? *fsssh*[ST:n ]Human conversation is so difficult to master.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev060202_MSG0031 |
So explaining what actually happened to me in real life[ST:n ]does not count as metaphor? *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev060202_MSG0032 |
I see. Hmm... Human conversation is a tricky thing.[ST:n ]*fsssh* In any case, that concludes my chat.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev060202_MSG0033 |
*fsssh* Yes, so we still need to figure out how to deal[ST:n ]with this stolen voltant problem.[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev060202_MSG0034 |
Because if, for example, that voltant were scattered[ST:n ]about the city, many of its residents would die. *fsssh*[ST:n ]And that would be a most tragic scene.[ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev060202_MSG0035 |
...YES! That one was TOTALLY metaphor! *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev060202_JNK0090 |
Endure |
| 55 |
|
qev060202_SEL0091 |
Summon up your patience and keep listening. |
| 56 |
|
qev060202_JNK0100 |
Ignore |
| 57 |
|
qev060202_SEL0101 |
Stop humoring Phoskeran and[ST:n ]talk to Horonalderon instead. |
| 58 |
|
qev060202_MSG0036 |
Unfortunately, I have no means to resolve the situation.[ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev060202_MSG0037 |
*fsssh* If this incident represents a problem for you,[ST:n ]perhaps begin by asking around for information?[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev060202_MSG0038 |
The BLADE called Piers, for example, is quite close[ST:n ]with us Zaruboggan. *fsssh* If you spoke with him,[ST:n ]perhaps he could shed some light on the situation.[ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
qev060202_MSG0039 |
And by light, I actually mean information! Ha HA![ST:n ]I am clearly well on my way to mastering metaphor.[ST:n ]My own genius terrifies me sometimes. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 62 |
|
qev060202_MSG0040 |
You have my respect, [ST:playername ].[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev060202_MSG0041 |
Even among the Zaruboggan, there are few who can[ST:n ]stand to talk with Phoskeran. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 64 |
|
qev060202_MSG0042 |
Apologies. He is always this way, I am afraid. *fsssh*[ST:n ]I don't blame you in the least for being fed up with it.[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev060202_MSG0043 |
But yes, I will gather some people and begin searching[ST:n ]for the culprit. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev060202_MSG0044 |
Oooo! You sound so determined![ST:n ]*fsssh* But if we're gathering people,[ST:n ]why not go see what Piers has to say?[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev060202_MSG0045 |
*fsssh* He's probably the BLADE closest to us[ST:n ]Zaruboggan, so maybe he'll have a hint for us.[ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev060202_MSG0046 |
Though if the stolen voltant were already being spread[ST:n ]around, that sort of inquiry would be trying to put the[ST:n ]bullet back in the gun. Metaphorically speaking. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev060202_MSG0047 |
*fsssssssssssssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev060202_MSG0048 |
...I am sorry. I promise to repay this debt soon. *fsssh*[ST:n ]For now, please help us stop this from happening.[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev060202_MSG0049 |
He taught me the most fascinating rhetorical tool.[ST:n ]*fsssh* I cannot wait to get even more metaphorical![ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev060202_MSG0050 |
*yaaawn* I am suddenly struck with the urge to nap.[ST:n ]*fsssh* To use your human \"simile,\" I am as sleepy as[ST:n ]a cat that feels quite tired.[ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev060202_MSG0051 |
Horonalderon is still going on about something,[ST:n ]however, so I suppose I will wander off in search of a[ST:n ]quiet spot. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
