Ha ha, what duties? You're pretty sure there's nothing waiting for you anywhere. Plus, you're busy with what REALLY matters right now, and also too tipsy to focus. All for good reason! A guy doesn't get drinks coupled with heartfelt appreciation letters written in fishscript every day- No, wait, a cool guy like you definitely does, and from all kinds of people! But, uh... Ahem, admirers do get busy, you know. There are two defining features about your admirers. Number ONE, they have a life of their own that SURPRISINGLY(!) doesn't revolve around adoring you. And well, that's just life for ya. Number TWO, they're really real, and have fantastic taste in who they choose to adore. So just you wait, once they're all done being busy, you'll soon enough…

Aria: So... Hey! I know this started off kind of awkward, Aria: And it's kind of quiet right now, but, Aria: Let's start over! Formally, this time!???: ...Aria: My name is Aria Elwyn! It's nice to meet you!Aria: Umm, I'm an illusionist! Aria: I'm also a good baker... Aria: Well, there's not many interesting things to say about me.Aria: Check this out though! Monster disguise!

Hi, human boy!Aria: And the dog is Ludwig!Aria: He's a GOOD boy.Ludwig: Bark.Five: :DAria: :D???: What... Are you doing.Aria: Um, introductions!Aria: That was everything, I think!Aria: So! What about you? Aria: What's your name????: Don't need to tell you.Aria: Uh. Aria: B-but... Aria:…

???: ...?Aria: I'll warn you just once. Aria: If you don't let me through with what I want,Aria: You'll seriously regret it.Aria: You've made a grave mistake.Aria: You see, I know your secret. Aria: Which means I could just out you to any monster.Aria: So you had better comply. You settle on a threat. A real one. The only thing that could possibly get you your way. He is stone cold speechless for a moment. ...What, did he not understand??? What a dunce!!! You're going to have to go ALL OUT, then!! Aria: UNLEASH TRUE HELL UPON THE FOOLISH HUMAN WHO DARES QUESTION YOU Aria: Boy, it sure would be a shame if someone just.... SCREAMED right now, and alerted EVERY monster, or s-something, to come here, and then see…

Aria: ..........Yes!Aria: Yes, I see, you are asking... Good questions.Aria: And me, I have... Good answers! Very.???: Uh.???: I really doubt that now.Aria: B-but!Aria: First, don't you think this is a dangerous spot?Aria: It's very open, which is very bad for us humans!Aria: I don't think I need to explain why that is the case... So, yeah! Aria: Maybe let's take some time to look for somewhere more suitable firs- ???: Look.Aria: A-aa!???: I'm better equipped than you, more knowledgeable, and more resourceful.???: I may as well just be better than you in every way right now.???: Someone like me would never be out in the open if there was any danger.???: And someone like you would do the same. ???: Don't play around.Aria: U-uuh.???: But, you know what, fine.…

Meimona: I'm an angel of fortune! It is my title.Nino: Does that mean you're just incredibly lucky?Meimona: Uhmm, to put it simply, yes kind of!Meimona: Do you know about angelic titles?Nino: Uh, not much. Nino: I guess I know that it's a thing the winged have, that's about it.Nino: There's not a whole lot that I know about you guys.Nino: Mostly because... I guess there's not much winged information that humans care to make readily available during these times?Meimona: Hey, that's still already more than what most people know about us!Nino: Well, humans are more focused on themselves nowadays. With good reason.Meimona: Don't worry, I can explain! Meimona: It's definitely nothing too complex! Meimona: Err, maybe I only think so because I'm a winged... Nino: Hey, I'm not dumb! Nino:…

It... It IS a human! That was kind of careless of you, forgetting that you potentially could run into anyone here and not applying any disguises. Well, to be fair, the spirit was taking up all your attention, but fortunately you ran into another human and not a monster so it's all okay and hey wait... Aria: But more importantly, IT'S LUDWIG Wait... Is that Ludwig. IS THAT LUDWIG. Yes it IS, YES IT IS! IT'S LUDWIG! IT'S YOUR GOOD AND LOYAL FRIEND!! HE'S ALIVE!!!!!!! Aria: HUG NOW He's safe! He's here, in the flesh! Ludwig!! He rushes at you for a BIG reunion hug. You and Five rejoice, YAY!!!!!!!!! The human boy just stands there, silently staring. It feels kind of judgmental, but well, you've still got to give…

The spirit obstructed your attack, rendering it useless. However, you managed to create a gap between the spirit and Five, successfully protecting her! It's what matters most right now. You tell Five to stay as close as possible to your back. Menacingly, the spirit prepares to do something again. As a soul-eating sense of danger befalls you, your grip on Five strengthens. You'll be ready for whatever it does. The area around you bends unnaturally. Like a canvas, unseen forces begin to paint on it. The spirit's illusory hands must be at work. Not knowing what's coming forces you to take a defensive position for now. The biggest danger is in the unknown, when you're unaware what your opponent is capable of. Yet no matter what it may be, you've…

Everybody fears being forgotten after death, you know. I am no different, of course.   Oh, the wounds are still so fresh, see? You, the one person who could mourn my memory, chose to forget me like this! The only person who was there for my final moments!   Not only that, but the one I GAVE those moments for, too!   Don't you want to make it fair? It's all you've been thinking ever since, I can tell. Why am I the only one who has to die so young, not before seeing my dreams through?   It's okay! You can make it fair! This way, it will all be forgiven, Ari- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- Aria: That's enough of…

It's too bad she's going to have to find out this way, isn't it? Really, if only you were honest from the beginning. I hate liars, you know!   I won’t forgive you for letting me die, though.   I was still so young! I too had ambitions, dreams, and goals to live for even if I couldn’t remember them all at the time, you know? So. It’s only fair that you take responsibility now.   You are a human too, you will pay with your soul like I did. Don't worry! This way, you won’t be a bother anymore! ... Good. Being so resigned will make it easier.   Five: Aria!! Five: No, Aria can't listen!Five: You... Can't listen to spirits!Five: It's lying, it's not real... Five: Five knows…

Meimona: You were fully turned against me earlier, you know...Meimona: That's all the motivation an equal retribution needs!Nino: B-but- Nino: You said you OWE me one!Meimona: I just repaid that though!Meimona: Unfortunately for you, just like how a generous action is repaid by the same...Meimona: So are eeeevil actions against good angels! It's karma, buckaroo!Meimona: Isn't that right, Boyfriend?Boyfriend: Mrow.Meimona: YEAH!!! THAT MEANS "YES" IN CAT!Nino: BOYFRIEND, NO!Nino: UGH, W-WELL... Well...Nino: ...Wait, ah-hah! Nino: You fool, I've got it!Nino: It's so simple, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!Meimona: What, what is it? Nino: I'll just out you before you can out me.Nino: Duh!Meimona: Wh- NO!Meimona: You can't do that!Nino: Says who?Meimona: Says ME! MEI!!!Nino: Your "no" means nothing to my advantageous spot here!Nino: Isn't THAT right, Boyfriend?Boyfriend:…

Oh, you try, but you're struggling to not smile from ear to ear! It's just, it's finally happening, you know? The recognition you've always wanted- You mean, always deserved! Yes, surely, in no time, every man on this island will finally open their eyes and realize the gift they've been given from the heavens. And what a coveted gift it is! It is fact that anyone you serve is exceptionally lucky to have your services, these people just need to realize that. It's alright, the public can be a bit dense sometimes, and thankfully you're one understanding fellow. Act like this is natural and the fans will be flocking to you in no time! Oh yes, one more fan-letter to add to the pile at home, you say. The barkeep…

Nah, you've got this! You're not worried. You're worth at least FOUR people by your own! Not literally though; you're not like a certain royal superior of yours. Kaji: Make a DRAMATIC ENTRY and catch them off-guard! You bust through the swingy-dealie doors in the loudest manner one can bust through a swingy-dealie bar door. Not just because it's fun to swing those doors open (it's really fun to swing them open), but also for that extra INTIMIDATION factor. You then declare some TRUE FACTS as loudly as you can: "Yer busted, busters!" These kids aren't getting past you! Unfortunately, the dastardly criminals are nowhere to be seen, and now you've just caused a huge ruckus for no reason. You've even interrupted an open-mic talent with your boisterousness. O-oh well!…
