10TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_GREETING_MARGRAT_000_000To hear Thesauros's excuses, one might think it necessary to sell your firstborn to afford a comfortable chair and desk. Surely it isn't *impossible* to properly furnish a laboratory on a budget?
21TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_GREETING_MARGRAT_000_001Hello, my fair gleaner! How goes the campaign of feline satisfaction?
32TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_GREETING_MARGRAT_000_002Oh good, you're back. I think Ibuki is growing restless, so let's surround her with darling monstrosities before she launches a second assault upon Hodge.
43TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_GREETING_MARGRAT_000_003A pleasure as always, my lady of peerless procurement. Have you anything to soothe Grondilvet's tired eyes?
54TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_GREETING_MARGRAT_000_004Another day, another battle of attrition against the enemies of ingenuity. Thrice-damned misers, the lot of them. But how do *you* fare, my friend?

5655TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_TUTORIAL_001_001With each successful delivery, Margrat will grow more and more satisfied with your efforts. Fill the gauge completely and Margrat's **satisfaction level** will increase, giving you the opportunity to learn more about her.
5756TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_TUTORIAL_001_002You can make up to six deliveries in a given week. Deliver the items Margrat needs, and deliver them often to win the trust and praise of your loquacious associate!

5958TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_001_000Sometimes a good cushion is all you need to transform any old chair into posterial paradise. I've even heard of designs that incorporate gelatinous material sourced from─well. So long as it's comfortable, right?
6059TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_001_001Treats and toys seem like promising candidates, but whether your devotion will be requited for long─if at all─depends on the kitty in question. Perhaps a wad of crinkly paper or a simple box will suffice?
6160TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_001_002It sounds like you're free to procure anything from grotesquely realistic clay sculptures to adorable plush creatures. Let it be known that I humbly request permission to squeeze should your donation be of the latter persuasion.
6261TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_001_003Eye drops may seem like the obvious *solution*─ha! Get it?─but if you ask me, Grondilvet might benefit as much if not more from a fluffy bed or an eye mask. A quarter-bell nap can do wonders for one's health.
6362TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_001_004Any number of things can help facilitate relaxation─refreshing drinks, tasty snacks, mammet masseurs, you name it. All the more effective when prepared by Player Player herself!
6463TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_002_000Stones with magnetic properties and herbal compresses are supposedly effective remedies for ailing backs, but do you know what's even better? Actual rest.
6564TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_002_001There is a plant which can induce a state of euphoria in felines, as I recall. Failing that, there's always the classic sandbox, which cats may utilize for their, er...daily constitutionals.
6665TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_002_002Let's give Ibuki whatever she needs to reverently whisper, “I've created a *monster*.” That's how we'll know we're on the right track.
6766TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_002_003Here's a clever trick for pain relief: warm some stones or poultices and then press them to your eyes. Or neck. Or back. Or anywhere, really...
6867TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_002_004Our refreshment room is supplied with water and tea, but what could spark more joy than knowing Player Player has topped up our ice and replenished our leaves? Our beverages will never taste better, this I can assure you.
6968TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_003_000Back pain may be a symptom of a deficiency of nutrients essential for bone development. The positive effects of a balanced diet may not manifest immediately, but who doesn't *feel* better after a healthy meal?
7069TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_003_001Some cats can't eat fish, and most fish can't eat cats, but what can some cats eat that most fish can't? ...Catfish.
7170TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_003_002Certain shells are ground into powder for their pigments, and yet others make delightful decorations as they are. The right shade or sparkle can spur the spirit into a creative frenzy!
7271TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_003_003Blueback fish are apparently rich in nutrients that help prevent ocular exhaustion and dry eyes. Let's hope Grondilvet and his colleagues like seafood!
7372TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_KNOWLEDGE_MARGRAT_003_004After exhausting our daily cerebral capital, we often find ourselves gazing vacantly into the abyss...but think how less ominous it would be to gaze vacantly into an aquarium filled with colorful fish! Truly the height of luxury and far better for the soul.
7473TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_JUDGEMENT_MARGRAT_000_000...Yes, this should do nicely! A timely delivery of sufficient quality. Bravo!
7574TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_JUDGEMENT_MARGRAT_000_001...Well, well! If I were a small animal, I might be inclined to run circles around you in delight. But I'm not, so I won't. Thank you, though!
7675TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_JUDGEMENT_MARGRAT_000_002...Do you normally fling items of extraordinary quality to whomsoever is in need? Because such behavior may condition people to trail behind you like awestruck ducklings─myself included.
7776TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_JUDGEMENT_MARGRAT_000_003...Even after all this time, your capacity for peerless quality is astounding. How could I *not* break into celebratory dance? ...Embarrassing? Perish the thought!

8079TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_BEFRANKUP_MARGRAT_000_000These should make all the difference! Wait here; I'll go and deliver them to my colleagues.
8180TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_BEFRANKUP_MARGRAT_001_000Cats have never struck me as particularly cheerful creatures, but even the most tenebrous tomcat will surely be moved to purr by all you've brought us. Give me a moment to present these gifts to Roaring Spring.
8281TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_BEFRANKUP_MARGRAT_002_000Well, if Ibuki and her team aren't anything less than delighted, I think we may have to consider *them* monsters. I'll just be a moment.
8382TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_BEFRANKUP_MARGRAT_003_000Right then! I do believe we've accumulated sufficient succor for our blearily blinking comrade. I shall be back anon.
8483TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_001The results are in. Those items you procured for us...
8584TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_002...are the best thing since sliced Archon loaf! Ahahahahaha!
8685TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_003No longer shall our backs suffer the cricks and cramps of outrageous furniture! With renewed health and mental clarity may we set upon our work and meet our deadlines without need for extensions!
8786TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_004...Probably!
8887TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_005Ahem. Theatrics aside, we are very grateful to you, kind lady. I'm afraid my complaints superseded a more civilized greeting, so allow me to properly introduce myself.
8988TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_006My name is Margrat, and I work as a specialist in propulsion engineering here in Sharlayan Hamlet.
9089TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_007Under the supervision of Kokkol Dankkol, my team participated in the development of not just the aetherburner, but the myriad ancillary propulsion systems of the *Ragnarok*.
9190TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_008As our assignment concerned the crux of the project, we worked in tandem with a variety of other laboratories.
9291TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_009My team was charged with performing analyses of the physical and aetherial phenomena to which the internal components would be subjected.
9392TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_010Another team calculated the necessary energy costs of all propulsion systems and proposed refinements to improve aetherial conductivity...
9493TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_011And yet *another* team drafted the plans that reconciled all our disparate findings into one cohesive image. Thus we spun our web of productivity.
9594TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_012Of course, a specialist is only as special as the demand for their expertise. So once the Final Days were thwarted and the threat to our lives no more, the threat to our *livelihoods* reared its ugly head.
9695TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_013Thankfully, our experience with the *Ragnarok* was of value to Garlond Ironworks, who offered my team the opportunity to collaborate on new airship engines. And so we live to labor another day!
9796TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_014True to their Garlean roots, they rely heavily on ceruleum to power their engines, but with a few adjustments raw aether can also─
9897TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_015...Ah, but you know all about aether's potential, don't you! Tell me, why *did* you need those tanks?
9998TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_016It's not often─or ever, really─that people come clamoring for tanks with the capacity to power an interstellar vessel. Fancied a jaunt to the moon, did you? Ha ha!
10099TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_017...You ripped a *hole* in the moon!? To forestall a voidsent invasion.
101100TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_018Ahahaha! Pull the other one, it's got bells on! Next you'll be claiming you're a Scion. Next stop, Ultima Thule!
102101TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_019...Hm? Why are you giving me that look?
103102TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_020...Wait. What did you say your name was?
104103TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_021Player Player. Right. The very Player Player who went to Ultima Thule with the other Scions.
105104TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_022...Rhalgr smite you, Theopauldin. Would it have *killed* you to say something!?
106105TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_023All of us were...were so consumed by work back then that we never got so much of a glimpse of the Scions, let alone...
107106TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_024And now here I am whinging to you about *back pain*. What a laugh...
108107TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_025...A-Apologies! I had no idea you were *the* Player Player! It's, uh, quite a lot to process...
109108TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_026Thank you for taking the time to help us.
110109TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_027And, um...if you're so inclined, we would be terribly grateful for your continued assistance!
111110TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_028Thesauros is unlikely to loosen its purse strings any time soon, and we're still in dire need of things to improve our quality of life here in Labyrinthos.
112111TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_029What say you? I'll make you an honorary member of our team─or better yet, my own personal gleaner!
113112TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_Q1_001_030What will you say?
114113TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_A1_001_031The honor would be mine!
115114TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_A1_001_032Compensation? Benefits? “Sod you, pay me,” as they say.
116115TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_033An answer fit for a hero! Glad to have you with us.
117116TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_034Spoken like a born freelancer! But to answer your questions, I could paper the city with the amount of scrips I have lying around. You have my word that we shan't leave you wanting.
118117TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_001Our resident cat-lover insisted that he address you personally, Player!
119118TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_002I wanted to thank you for your many thoughtful donations. Their quality is astounding!
120119TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_003The lab cats have taken to them straightaway. Just seeing the joy writ plain upon their furry little faces has lifted the spirits of the whole team.
121120TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_004By the by, have you given any thought as to what sort of research Roaring Spring and his crew of cat-lovers might specialize in?
122121TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_005It may defy expectations, given what you've learned of them thus far, but any guesses?
123122TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_006Believe it or not, they are all experts in aero- and aetherdynamics─the studies of how air and aether move, respectively.
124123TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_007It is their comprehensive understanding of these mechanics which enabled them to devise not only the optimal form of our teeny-tiny toy boat, but that of its individual components as well.
125124TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_008So while *we* were all losing our heads over the aetherburner, Roaring Spring and his colleagues were calmly ensuring that we had somewhere to stick the damnable thing.
126125TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_009...Which brings me to my question: why is your laboratory overrun with felines? Did the stress finally break you?
127126TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_010Not as such. Our kitties are the fluffy keystones of our latest intellectual challenge.
128127TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_011In the aftermath of the Final Days, we received a letter from an Eorzean naturalist named Marcette, who, er...*stridently* implored us to investigate a rather puzzling phenomenon.
129128TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_012The “spontaneous flight of traditionally flightless organisms.”
130129TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_013Shocking, yes. Imagine an adamantoise or dhalmel suddenly rising into the air and darting away!
131130TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_014But while such incidents may seem queer and inexplicable, we believe we can identify the root cause. Insofar as it relates to aviation, at least.
132131TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_015And once we know how these aerial feats were accomplished, we can assess which subjects may be manifesting latent abilities and which ones may be outliers of one sort or another.
133132TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_016For her part, Marcette seems convinced that there are no outliers─that every subject was possessed of “ancestral levitational predisposition”─but regardless of the outcome, our research may revolutionize our understanding of aviation!
134133TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_017Indeed, even with my limited expertise, I can see the potential...
135134TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_018Naturally, our first step was to observe flight-gifted samples in captivity. And among those we collected, we found...*it*.
136135TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_019An enormous flying kitty cat!
137136TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_020Such grace! Such beauty! How could the air and aether *not* embrace you? How could the laws of nature not contort themselves to cradle your winsome curves!?
138137TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_021Yet a mystery it remains. A fabulous, fluffy mystery. One to which we will devote our waking days to unravel.
139138TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_022...That's wonderful, Roaring Spring! I hope you all find fulfillment in both your pioneering research and your kitties' care.
140139TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_023Thank you, Margrat. I know we shall.
141140TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_024And thank *you*, my friend. We are fortunate to have been aided by such an accomplished gleaner.
142141TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_025Yes, well. “Gleaner” may have been the term I used to describe her for simplicity's sake, but truth be told, she isn't of the guildship.
143142TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_026This is Player Player. One of the Scions who went aboard the *Ragnarok*.

145144TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_ROARINGSPRING_002_028So I've been waxing poetic about kitty cats to...no, *commissioning* kitty goods from...

148147TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_001Look, I've procured something of my own! A researcher brimming with gratitude.
149148TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_002None of us were expecting anything remotely close to the quality of what you delivered. The whole team couldn't be happier.

151150TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_004So? What do you suppose Ibuki and her colleagues spend their time studying whilst their monstrous miniatures keep vigil?

155154TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_A_003_008Have we confirmed they're not actually adventurers in disguise?
156155TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_009Oh, don't do that! While biologists were called in for the *Ragnarok*'s development, they didn't belong to Ibuki's cohort. Although I can see why you might assume so.
157156TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_010Warm! Very warm indeed!
158157TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_011Ahahaha! Skepticism well warranted, to be sure.
159158TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_012Ibuki's team specializes in materials engineering, so they were tasked with deciding what the *Ragnarok* should be made of.
160159TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_013As the mission was of the greatest import, candidate materials were subjected to rigorous testing to ensure safe and reliable operation.
161160TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_014For instance, every component within the engines had to withstand both the heat and stress the engine itself generated, as well as whatever bumps and scrapes it might suffer during the course of the ship's journey.
162161TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_015However, if the durable, heat-resistant materials they chose had been too heavy or difficult to work with, our starship would have been effectively the world's largest doorstop.
163162TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_016So to ensure the *Ragnarok* could actually fly and not be reduced to fondue in the process, Ibuki and her colleagues searched high and low for materials suited to each and every part. And on the occasion they failed to find what they needed, they rolled up their sleeves and created it themselves.
164163TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_017People tend to be more interested in the bigger picture─by *what* is being made rather than what it's made *of*─but I've made my peace with it. It's a fairly mundane job, truth be told.
165164TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_018Not from where I'm standing! You and your lab are the heroes who help us realize our wildest dreams. We are forever in your debt.
166165TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_019Well, if you'd *really* like to repay the favor, you might try making a good faith effort to actually meet your deadline next time.
167166TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_020These days, we mostly deal in arms and armor production with external collaborators.
168167TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_021No matter how much you improve upon the previous model, adventurers always demand harder, better, faster, *and* stronger...
169168TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_022Which necessitates a more in-depth understanding of the circumstances which demand such performance. So we conduct simulations based on actual and theoretical experiences of veteran adventurers.
170169TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_IBUKI_003_023Which in turn means extensive research into the myriad monstrosities of the world! Perhaps *too* extensive, given how it has influenced our team.

191190TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_GRONDILVET_004_006Indeed it is. Our current assignment is complicated─sometimes punishingly so─but we are resolved to see it through.

275274TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_GRONDILVET_003_115Goodness. Your effulgent praise has my bosom all atingle.

277276TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_117Why, we are indeed! My exclusive gleaner here is second to none when satisfying the needs of the needy. Take advantage of our free trial today!
278277TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_GRONDILVET_003_118Though I'm curious as to what prompted said trial, it would be foolish to reject your offer.
279278TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_GRONDILVET_003_119Very well. Might I commission some remedies for weary eyes?
280279TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_GRONDILVET_003_120Eye drops would suffice, as would items that improve circulation. Foodstuffs purported to improve visual acuity would be welcome, too.
281280TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_LCUT_RANKUP_GRONDILVET_003_121If it may aid in the preservation or enhancement of eyesight, my team and I would welcome whatever you can provide.

293292TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_001_001Never you fear; I'll tend to the perpetual bin fires just as soon as you leave. ...You're in no hurry to go, right?

295294TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_002_001Despite what others may whisper (and occasionally declare loudly within earshot), I too strive for punctuality!

296295TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_000Excellent, this should do us quite nicely. ...I take it you'll be going, then?
297296TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_003_001You could always stay awhile longer, you know! There's no need to rush─we could chat! Please? Everyone else is so busy and Hodge is no fun at all! ...*Please*?
298297TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_004_000Thanks to your tireless efforts, our quality of life here in Sharlayan Hamlet has been drastically improved.
299298TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_004_001Wouldn't you agree, Hodge? I'm sure Player here has also spared you a modicum of grief.
300299TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_HODGE_004_002...If you wish to spare me grief, you might refrain from causing it in the first place.
301300TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_004_003Oh, that Hodge. He plays coy, but there's no denying that you have done much and more to ease Thesauros's burdens.
302301TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_004_004Mark my words: if we keep peddling your services, one day Hodge will leap over his desk and wring your hand in tearful gratitude! Or perhaps just offer a genuine word of thanks!
303302TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_005_000Hodge! Have I mentioned in the past bell just how much Player here has single-handedly improved the state of Labyrinthos with her contributions?

307306TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_005_004...It may not seem like it, but we're making progress! We'll coax a heartfelt expression of gratitude from him yet!
308307TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_005_005Trust me, I've been bothering Hodge for years now; he's like an old, musty tome I've read cover to cover a dozen times. I see all the subtleties between the lines. So let's keep up the good work, Player!

310309TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_006_001According to Theopauldin, we've seen significantly increased returns from each and every laboratory here in Labyrinthos.
311310TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_MARGRAT_006_002An external assessment might conclude that the projects we began in the wake of the Final Days have simply begun to yield results. That our labors were bound to bear fruit eventually. But we all know better.

316315TEXT_CTSSFSCHARACTER10_00842_RANKUP_HODGE_006_007Second, for the procurement of resources that Thesauros has been reluctant to provide. And third, for your social and moral support of the researchers here.
