| 4 | 0 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000010_MYSTERYVOICE | Ah, there you are. May I assume you've had your fill of rest? |
| 5 | 1 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000020_MYSTERYVOICE | That is well. Now that we are all present, let us speak of our plan. |
| 6 | 2 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000030_MYSTERYVOICE | Thus far, we have vanquished four Lightwardens, restoring night to much of Norvrandt. |
| 7 | 3 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000040_MYSTERYVOICE | Only one remains─that of Kholusia. And with Ryne to guide us, I am certain we will find it. |
| 8 | 4 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000050_ALISAIE | We're so close now. If we can just take care of this one last Warden, we'll rob the sin eaters of their final foothold, and drive them out of Norvrandt once and for all. |
| 9 | 5 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000060_ALISAIE | It will be a new beginning for the First─a chance for the people to rebuild their world. |
| 10 | 6 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000070_ALPHINAUD | In short, a prize worth fighting for. |
| 11 | 7 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000080_URIANGER | And in thus delivering the First from destruction, so too shall we unsow the seeds of the Eighth Umbral Calamity. |
| 12 | 8 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000090_YSHTOLA | Do you hear? Your dreamed-of Rejoining is in jeopardy. Are you sure you're not tempted to intervene? |
| 13 | 9 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000100_EMETSELCH | (SIGH) |
| 14 | 10 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000110_EMETSELCH | You labor under the misapprehension that vanquishing the sin eaters is tantamount to saving the world. It is not. |
| 15 | 11 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000120_EMETSELCH | In truth, you only delay the inevitable, lengthening your fleeting lives by the smallest of margins. |
| 16 | 12 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000130_EMETSELCH | 'Twould be churlish of me to deny you this small concession, close as we've become. Foolish and misguided though you are, you are not without charm. |
| 17 | 13 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000140_EMETSELCH | Each and every one of you is possessed of a noble heart. When the weak want for succor, you do not hesitate to provide it. |
| 18 | 14 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000150_EMETSELCH | Alas, your nobility is shortsighted. You think only of the problem in front of your nose. |
| 19 | 15 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000160_EMETSELCH | A limitation of your ephemeral existence. |
| 20 | 16 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000170_ALPHINAUD | Our lives may seem short and insignificant to the likes of you. But one does not need to be an eternal being to achieve lasting change. |
| 21 | 17 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000180_EMETSELCH | Ah, if I may stop you there─I do not claim that we Ascians are <Emphasis>special</Emphasis>. That is another misconception. |
| 22 | 18 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000190_EMETSELCH | In the beginning, everyone─<Emphasis>everyone</Emphasis> lived nigh for eternity. Such was the natural order of things. But like so much else, this was taken from you. |
| 23 | 19 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000200_EMETSELCH | You won't object if I borrow your plaything. |
| 24 | 20 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000210_EMETSELCH | In the distant past, when the world was one and whole, a great calamity threatened all life. |
| 25 | 21 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000220_EMETSELCH | It began without warning. The very laws of the star were warped and broken, and chaos swiftly spread throughout the land. |
| 26 | 22 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000230_EMETSELCH | Faced with annihilation, we sought to imbue the star with its own will. Thus was Zodiark born, and by His power was order restored. |
| 27 | 23 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000240_EMETSELCH | Ere long, however, thankless fools began to fear that Zodiark's might was too great. And so they conjured another to keep Him in check─your own dear Hydaelyn. |
| 28 | 24 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000250_YSHTOLA | And the two beings waged war until, with a single, devastating blow, Hydaelyn unmade Zodiark, scattering his being across space and time. So you told us in the Qitana Ravel. |
| 29 | 25 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000260_EMETSELCH | Yes, yes... And <Emphasis>there</Emphasis> began our woes─with Hydaelyn's blow, and all that it wrought. |
| 30 | 26 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000270_EMETSELCH | As a counterbalance to Zodiark, Hydaelyn was created with the power to enervate Her foe. |
| 31 | 27 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000280_EMETSELCH | This singular ability strikes not at such banal things as flesh, but <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis> that defines the target, diluting its existence. |
| 32 | 28 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000290_EMETSELCH | For example, were She to strike you... |
| 33 | 29 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000300_EMETSELCH | Two individuals, identical in appearance, yet reduced in all respects. Strength, intelligence, the soul itself─all is halved. |
| 34 | 30 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000310_EMETSELCH | Do you see? This selfsame fate befell not only Zodiark, but the very star. |
| 35 | 31 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000320_EMETSELCH | Only three were fortunate enough to escape the sundering─me being one of them. |
| 36 | 32 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000330_EMETSELCH | When I beheld the shattered remnants of our home, I knew deepest despair. |
| 37 | 33 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000340_EMETSELCH | The inhabitants of these fourteen fragments were feeble, frail, and foolish. Oblivious to their imperfection, ignorant of their past. |
| 38 | 34 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000350_EMETSELCH | Malformed creatures thrashing blindly about. Pitiful. Disturbing. Depressing. |
| 39 | 35 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000360_EMETSELCH | So we took it upon ourselves to rejoin the worlds. But in our eagerness─and, I confess, our ignorance─we erred, and made a useless void of the Thirteenth. |
| 40 | 36 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000370_EMETSELCH | It was only afterwards that we discovered a connection 'twixt Source and shard─a flow of energy that maintains elemental balance. And thus did we arrive at our time-honored modus operandi. |
| 41 | 37 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000380_YSHTOLA | From a purely Ascian standpoint, it could be said that what you seek to do is only logical. |
| 42 | 38 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000390_YSHTOLA | But that would be to ignore the immeasurable destruction wrought with each Rejoining. You have murdered millions. And this we cannot condone. |
| 43 | 39 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000400_EMETSELCH | By your fragmented existence, you continue to give rise to tragedies far crueler than any calamity. |
| 44 | 40 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000410_EMETSELCH | But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point─I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you. |
| 45 | 41 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000420_EMETSELCH | Oh, don't look at me like that. You for whom I have only the highest expectations. |
| 46 | 42 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000430_EMETSELCH | A vaunted hero of the Source, seven times rejoined. |
| 47 | 43 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000440_EMETSELCH | Long have I awaited one who might brave a path of lesser tragedy. A resilient soul able to endure the necessary pain. I dare to hope that my wait is over. |
| 48 | 44 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000450_EMETSELCH | So, finish your task and slay the Lightwarden. Make proof of your usefulness. And then we may speak again. |
| 49 | 45 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000460_LYNA | Forgive me, my lord, but this could not wait. |
| 50 | 46 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000470_MYSTERYVOICE | Speak freely, Captain. |
| 51 | 47 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000480_LYNA | Our informant in Kholusia sends word of unusual activity in Eulmore. |
| 52 | 48 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000490_LYNA | It appears their forces are entrenching themselves at key points throughout the city. Making ready for an attack, by all indications. |
| 53 | 49 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000500_MYSTERYVOICE | An intriguing use of resources. I rather doubt Lord Vauthry is concerned for the safety of his citizens... |
| 54 | 50 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000510_ALISAIE | You think he's harboring the Lightwarden <Emphasis>inside</Emphasis> the city walls? Even if he does have some means of controlling the sin eaters, wouldn't that be a little risky? |
| 55 | 51 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000520_THANCRED | Risky or not, if there is even a chance the Warden is hiding there, we will need to act fast. The longer we wait, the better prepared the Eulmorans will be. |
| 56 | 52 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000530_MYSTERYVOICE | Agreed. See to your preparations then, and make for Kholusia. |
| 57 | 53 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000540_MYSTERYVOICE | Gods willing, this hunt will be the last. Let us see it through to the end. |
| 58 | 54 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000550_ALPHINAUD | We should begin by assembling in Wright. There we may assess the situation in Eulmore, and decide how best to proceed. |
| 59 | 55 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000560_URIANGER | Strange. Passing strange... |
| 60 | 56 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000570_URIANGER | By their behavior, we may safely assume that they are under Vauthry's mind control. |
| 61 | 57 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000580_URIANGER | Yet the extent of the effect seemeth to vary dramatically between subjects. |
| 62 | 58 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000590_URIANGER | 'Tis far too pronounced to be attributed simply to the vagaries of innate magical resistance. |
| 63 | 59 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000600_ALPHINAUD | Curiouser and curiouser... |
| 64 | 60 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000610_ALPHINAUD | We met with no trouble en route. My thanks for securing the way. |
| 65 | 61 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000620_ALPHINAUD | But given the state of the townsfolk, I see we were never in any danger of being recognized. |
| 66 | 62 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000630_THANCRED | What can you tell us from here? |
| 67 | 63 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000640_RYNE | I sense a powerful eater...in the uppermost reaches of the city... |
| 68 | 64 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000650_RYNE | But there's something different about it. Its Light is...impure. |
| 69 | 65 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000660_RYNE | We need to get closer. |
| 70 | 66 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000670_KAISHIRR | (-???-)Ohhh! So <Emphasis>that one's</Emphasis> Alphinaud! ...Unless you're triplets? |
| 71 | 67 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000680_ALPHINAUD | Kai-Shirr! What are you doing here? |
| 72 | 68 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000690_ALISAIE | While I was scouting the area, I noticed a suspicious figure skulking about. |
| 73 | 69 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000700_ALISAIE | So I accosted him─only to have him call me “Alphinaud.” I thought it best to bring him along. |
| 74 | 70 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000710_KAISHIRR | You see...that informant who's been feeding secrets to the Crystarium...it's me. |
| 75 | 71 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000720_KAISHIRR | See, after you saved my life in Eulmore, I thought about going somewhere far away. But I couldn't just leave, not without paying you back. |
| 76 | 72 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000730_KAISHIRR | So I decided to stay here─keep an eye on things. And whenever I spotted something strange, I shared it with your friends. |
| 77 | 73 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000740_ALPHINAUD | That took no small amount of courage. Well done. |
| 78 | 74 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000750_THANCRED | I assume you saw what happened here. |
| 79 | 75 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000760_KAISHIRR | Right, so, an airship flew in a bit ago, and not long after, Vauthry starts ranting and raving. You could hear him from all the way out here! |
| 80 | 76 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000770_KAISHIRR | Geezer was doing his nut! Shouting and screaming like someone had nicked his pie! |
| 81 | 77 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000780_URIANGER | 'Tis like the airship bore the soldiers sent to thwart our efforts in Amh Araeng. |
| 82 | 78 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000790_KAISHIRR | So eventually the yelling dies down...and then this hot, sticky wind comes blowing through. |
| 83 | 79 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000800_KAISHIRR | Now that's when everyone went funny. Everyone but me. Well, me and a couple of newcomers, though even they started mumbling about Vauthry after a while. Not as bad as the rest, mind you. |
| 84 | 80 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000810_URIANGER | Newcomers... |
| 85 | 81 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000820_YSHTOLA | There's something I need Ryne to see. |
| 86 | 82 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000830_YSHTOLA | This was among the townsfolk's food stores. |
| 87 | 83 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000840_KAISHIRR | Oh, that's just meol. Eulmore doles the stuff out. |
| 88 | 84 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000850_RYNE | No! It...it couldn't be... |
| 89 | 85 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000860_RYNE | I─ I know what it is. |
| 90 | 86 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000870_RYNE | It's sin eater. Meol is made out of sin eater. |
| 91 | 87 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000880_YSHTOLA | So it is. |
| 92 | 88 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000890_YSHTOLA | In limited quantities, it may have little effect on an average individual. |
| 93 | 89 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000900_YSHTOLA | Yet if one were to consume it regularly, over a period of several years, I suspect it would do far, far more than merely nourish the body... |
| 94 | 90 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000910_URIANGER | That Vauthry wieldeth power over sin eaters is known. Could it be that those who partake of their flesh do thereby render themselves susceptible to his influence? |
| 95 | 91 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000920_URIANGER | 'Twould serve to explain why the town's newer arrivals succumbed less quickly than those raised on a diet of meol. |
| 96 | 92 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000930_ALISAIE | He's been rounding up sin eaters and feeding them to people!? Altering them mouthful by mouthful─all to stop them answering back!? |
| 97 | 93 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000940_ALISAIE | There are desperate souls out there <Emphasis>killing</Emphasis> themselves to escape turning! This is unforgivable! An atrocity! |
| 98 | 94 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000950_ALPHINAUD | These sin eaters... What if they are not simply “rounded up”? |
| 99 | 95 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000960_ALPHINAUD | Do you remember what we were told when first we came to the city? |
| 100 | 96 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000970_ALPHINAUD | "Many enter, but none leave...“ |
| 101 | 97 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000980_ALPHINAUD | Let us put an end to it. To this “paradise” built upon the bones of the poor. |
| 102 | 98 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000990_ALPHINAUD | Vauthry's deeds are beyond justification. Beyond forgiveness. Evil. |
| 103 | 99 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001000_THANCRED | It's highly probable that the Lightwarden is waiting for us somewhere in there, and I'm all for going after it. |
| 104 | 100 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001010_THANCRED | But our enemies know our faces. They know that we are coming. And they will not let us through without a fight. Like it or not, the time for stealth is passed. |
| 105 | 101 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001020_THANCRED | Now, my friend. If you would be so good as to lead the charge. |
| 106 | 102 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001030_VAUTHRY | Ugh... I can feel it... A dark presence in my domain! |
| 107 | 103 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001040_VAUTHRY | Ah! It's them! The villains who would sow chaos in my perfect paradise! |
| 108 | 104 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001050_VAUTHRY | Keep them away from me! I command you, keep them awaaaaaay! |
| 109 | 105 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001060_PUPPETMAN | Long live...Lord Vauthry... |
| 110 | 106 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001070_THANCRED | He would use his own people as shields. |
| 111 | 107 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001080_ALPHINAUD | This area is older than Gatetown. There are bound to be far more civilians under Vauthry's control. |
| 112 | 108 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001090_ALPHINAUD | But they do not act of their own free will, and we must not harm them. |
| 113 | 109 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001100_ALISAIE | As if we ever would. |
| 114 | 110 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001110_ALISAIE | Press on with Alphinaud. We'll hold off the civilians and join you as soon as we can. |
| 115 | 111 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001120_RANJIT | You will find my master in his chamber... |
| 116 | 112 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001130_RANJIT | But only should you kill me this day─and you will not. |
| 117 | 113 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 118 | 114 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Why do you go so far? |
| 119 | 115 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE | You're one of his puppets too. |
| 120 | 116 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001140_RANJIT | You may think me under his spell, but I uphold Lord Vauthry's ideals of my own volition. |
| 121 | 117 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001150_RANJIT | Man is an inherently flawed creature. In his vain pursuit of righteousness, he but sows the seeds of future conflict. |
| 122 | 118 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001160_RANJIT | Thus have I chosen to place my hopes upon he who has transcended men. Upon he who is unbound by the vagaries of conscience. |
| 123 | 119 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001170_RANJIT | But enough talk. I am a soldier, and you are my enemy. |
| 124 | 120 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001180_RANJIT | Come! Let us settle this once and for all! |
| 125 | 121 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001190_ALPHINAUD | Lord Vauthry! Your reign of tyranny is at an end. |
| 126 | 122 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001200_ALPHINAUD | For too long, you have preyed upon the desperation of the poor. Now you will answer for the suffering you have caused! |
| 127 | 123 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001210_ALPHINAUD | And if you harbor even a shred of remorse, I beseech you to use your powers to redress the balance. For the future of all in Norvrandt. |
| 128 | 124 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001220_RYNE | No... It can't be. This is wrong. It's <Emphasis>wrong</Emphasis>! |
| 129 | 125 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001230_RYNE | The Warden─it's not just a sin eater. It's a man! |
| 130 | 126 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001240_VAUTHRY | Remorse? For the future of all? What nonsense is this? |
| 131 | 127 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001250_VAUTHRY | There is no justice but mine. No future but mine. No will but mine. |
| 132 | 128 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001260_VAUTHRY | It is preordained. I was born to deliver this wretched world. |
| 133 | 129 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001270_VAUTHRY | Me? Unseated? No, no, no, no, no... |
| 134 | 130 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001280_VAUTHRY | It's impossible. Inconceivable! <Emphasis>Absurd</Emphasis>! I am a great and wise king. Greatest and wisest! I reign from on high! |
| 135 | 131 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001290_VAUTHRY | I will not be brought low by maggots like you! |
| 136 | 132 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001300_VAUTHRY | (SCREAM) |
| 137 | 133 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001310_VAUTHRY | Oh, yes. Of course. I can begin again. Rebuild my paradise. Once I finish my dinner... |
| 138 | 134 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001320_RYNE | Oh gods, no─ Stop him! Thancred, stop him! |
| 139 | 135 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001330_ALPHINAUD | Where did he go!? |
| 140 | 136 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001340_ALPHINAUD | What in the heavens!? |
| 141 | 137 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001350_ALISAIE | Did Vauthry do that? |
| 142 | 138 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 143 | 139 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | We must give chase! |
| 144 | 140 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE | How will we get up there? |
| 145 | 141 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001360_ALPHINAUD | Wait. |
| 146 | 142 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001370_ALPHINAUD | That is Mt. Gulg, the highest peak in Kholusia. It lies on the other side of a sheer cliff, and much as I wish it were otherwise, it is beyond our reach for now. |
| 147 | 143 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001380_ALPHINAUD | But even if it weren't─there are people here who need our help. |
| 148 | 144 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001390_ALISAIE | Oh, Alphinaud... |
| 149 | 145 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001400_ALPHINAUD | Please. Even if it's only to tend to their wounds. |
| 150 | 146 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 151 | 147 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I'll help too. |
| 152 | 148 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE | You don't need my permission. |
| 153 | 149 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Be quick about it. |
| 154 | 150 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001410_ALPHINAUD | Thank you. |
| 155 | 151 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001420_RYNE | I don't know if it will work, but if Vauthry's hold over the people is rooted in Light, I might be able to reverse its effects. |
| 156 | 152 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001430_RYNE | Will you let me try? |
| 157 | 153 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001440_ALPHINAUD | Of course. We'd be grateful for any help you can provide. |
| 158 | 154 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001450_ALISAIE | Well then, if it's decided, let's all get to work. |
| 159 | 155 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001460_RYNE | You're going to be all right. |
| 160 | 156 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001470_ALISAIE | I think that's the last of them. |
| 161 | 157 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001480_ALPHINAUD | We've done all we can for the wounded. |
| 162 | 158 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001490_ALPHINAUD | As for the rest... |
| 163 | 159 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001500_DULIACHAI | U-Um...a-aren't you Alphinaud? The painter boy? |
| 164 | 160 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001510_DULIACHAI | What in the world is going on? Did something happen to us? |
| 165 | 161 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001520_ALPHINAUD | Let me handle this. |
| 166 | 162 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001530_ALPHINAUD | Citizens of Eulmore. What I'm about to tell you will come as a shock. |
| 167 | 163 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001540_ALPHINAUD | Indeed, you may be loath to believe it. But if you trust the evidence of your senses, it is my hope that you will listen and accept the truth, unpalatable though it may be. |
| 168 | 164 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001550_ALPHINAUD | Vauthry is a sin eater. Everything he offered, everything he promised, was a lie... |
| 169 | 165 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001560_ALISAIE | They're not taking it well. And who could blame them? |
| 170 | 166 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001570_EULMOREPEOPLEA | Are you saying we were Vauthry's puppets all this time? |
| 171 | 167 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001580_ALPHINAUD | When you attacked us, you were not yourselves. That much is true. |
| 172 | 168 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001590_ALPHINAUD | But your conduct prior to that moment was your own. Vauthry's unnatural charisma does not absolve you of all responsibility. |
| 173 | 169 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001600_ALPHINAUD | Of your own free will, you came to this city and gave yourselves over to its pleasures. |
| 174 | 170 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001610_ALPHINAUD | And in the course of this, if you mistreated those less fortunate than you...then that too was of your own free will. |
| 175 | 171 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001620_ALPHINAUD | It is not for me to judge you, but for your victims. For history. For your conscience. |
| 176 | 172 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001630_ALPHINAUD | You have dreamed a twisted dream, but now you are awake. |
| 177 | 173 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001640_ALPHINAUD | You may yet share this world of ours. Join with us and each other that we might begin anew. |
| 178 | 174 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001650_ALPHINAUD | We've lost so many already. We dare not lose any more. |
| 179 | 175 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001660_ALPHINAUD | I have said my piece. My thanks for giving me the chance. |
| 180 | 176 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001670_ALPHINAUD | There is nothing more to be done here. Let us go after Vauthry. |
| 181 | 177 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001680_EULMOREPEOPLEB | Is there anything we can do to help? |
| 182 | 178 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001690_EULMOREPEOPLEB | You risked your lives to bring us to our senses, a-and I for one hope to repay that debt. Begin anew, as you said. |
| 183 | 179 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001700_YSHTOLA | Vauthry has fled to Mt. Gulg, and we mean to pursue him. Do any of you know the way? |
| 184 | 180 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001710_EULMOREPEOPLEC | The only way to Mt. Gulg is over the Bright Cliff. Have you an airship? |
| 185 | 181 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001720_YSHTOLA | We will contemplate flight only as a last resort. Were we to come under attack whilst airborne, we would have little hope of defending ourselves. |
| 186 | 182 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001730_YSHTOLA | If at all possible, we would prefer to travel by land. Is there a way? |
| 187 | 183 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001740_EULMOREPEOPLED | The Ladder is the only way up and down the cliff, but it hasn't moved in a long time. |
| 188 | 184 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001750_EULMOREPEOPLED | In the old days, it was operated by the mining folk who lived at the top. |
| 189 | 185 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001760_EULMOREPEOPLED | But after the Flood it saw less and less use, and when Lord Vauthry took control, it was abandoned altogether. |
| 190 | 186 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001770_ALISAIE | So we somehow need to get the Ladder working again? |
| 191 | 187 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001780_EULMOREPEOPLEC | It moves by means of a Talos, if that's any help. But good luck repairing that... |
| 192 | 188 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001790_DULIACHAI | ...Talos? Did someone say Talos!? |
| 193 | 189 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001800_DULIACHAI | You know all about them, don't you, dearest! If anyone can get this lift moving, it's you! |
| 194 | 190 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001810_CHAINUZZ | Um...well...perhaps. B-B-But see here─ |
| 195 | 191 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001820_DULIACHAI | Oh, yes! If you want the golem restored, you may leave it to my husband! |
| 196 | 192 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001830_DULIACHAI | For he happens to be the heir to Daedalus Stoneworks, foremost makers of Talos, whose contracts include the renowned mining venture of Amh Araeng! |
| 197 | 193 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001840_CHAINUZZ | It's... Well, i-i-it's been years and years since I had anything to do with it! I-I can't just pick up a hammer and set to work! |
| 198 | 194 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001850_DULIACHAI | You...you can't? |
| 199 | 195 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001860_CHAINUZZ | N-No, th-th-that's not what I─ I-It's just, I─ |
| 200 | 196 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001870_CHAINUZZ | ...All right, I will take a look at the Talos, but beyond that, I make no promises! |
| 201 | 197 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001880_CHAINUZZ | Those with strong backs, come with me. I'll need help dragging the damned thing out of the storehouse... |
| 202 | 198 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001890_ALISAIE | Well done, Brother. |
| 203 | 199 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001900_ALPHINAUD | Come, my friend. We have work to do! |
| 204 | 200 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001910_EMETSELCH | Would you look at that? The citizens of Eulmore engaging in what can only be described as “manual labor.” Who would have thought it possible? |
| 205 | 201 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001920_EMETSELCH | Do you know the most reliable way to deal with those who stubbornly refuse to see reason? |
| 206 | 202 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001930_EMETSELCH | You conquer them─crush them under heel. Such was the trusted method of Allag, and one still favored by Garlemald. |
| 207 | 203 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001940_EMETSELCH | But conquest is the <Emphasis>easy</Emphasis> part. The true challenge begins once the dust has settled─quenching the glowing embers of animosity and maintaining a semblance of peace. |
| 208 | 204 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001950_EMETSELCH | This requires the conqueror to treat the conquered with dignity, and the conquered to let bygones be bygones. A difficult feat to achieve. |
| 209 | 205 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001960_EMETSELCH | But you have achieved just that...to my considerable surprise. |
| 210 | 206 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001970_EMETSELCH | It's a compliment. Take it. |
| 211 | 207 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001980_EMETSELCH | Ahh, the vibrant energy that fills the air when like-minded souls gather. To think back on that time before time fair brings a tear to the eye. |
| 212 | 208 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001990_EMETSELCH | What? You thought ancient beings like us incapable of crying? |
| 213 | 209 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002000_EMETSELCH | Well, rest assured that if <Emphasis>your</Emphasis> heart can be broken, then so can mine! |
| 214 | 210 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002010_EMETSELCH | Back when the world was whole, we had family, friends, loves... |
| 215 | 211 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002020_EMETSELCH | Men knew peace and contentment, and with our adamant souls, we could live for an age. |
| 216 | 212 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002030_EMETSELCH | There was no conflict born of want or disparity. Our differences paled into insignificance next to all we had in common. |
| 217 | 213 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002040_EMETSELCH | And then there was Amaurot... Never was a city more magnificent. From the humblest streets to the highest spires, she fairly gleamed... |
| 218 | 214 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002050_EMETSELCH | Not that you would remember any of this. |
| 219 | 215 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 220 | 216 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE | “Remember”? |
| 221 | 217 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Is this story going anywhere? |
| 222 | 218 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002060_EMETSELCH | Never mind. |
| 223 | 219 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002070_EMETSELCH | The point is: the world of old was a far better place than what we have now. I believe you would like it, having witnessed the things you have. |
| 224 | 220 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002080_EMETSELCH | Remember, you are of the Source. Unlike the halfmen here, you stand only to gain. |
| 225 | 221 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002090_EMETSELCH | Should you survive the remaining calamities, you will become our equal. A complete existence in a complete world. |
| 226 | 222 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002100_EMETSELCH | But such talk is a pleasure for later. Back to work, hero. |
| 227 | 223 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002110_EMETSELCH | Ah, there was one thing I had meant to ask. |
| 228 | 224 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002120_EMETSELCH | How well do you know the Exarch? Has he ever deigned to show you what hides beneath the cowl? |
| 229 | 225 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002130_EMETSELCH | What, <Emphasis>never</Emphasis>? Even to you? How <Emphasis>very</Emphasis> interesting... |
| 230 | 226 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002140_EMETSELCH | I shall enjoy working out what it means. Until next time. |
| 231 | 227 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002150_DULIACHAI | Ohhh, I knew you could do it, dearest! I never doubted you for a moment! |
| 232 | 228 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002160_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | It's alive. |
| 233 | 229 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002170_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | I don't know if you remember, but when we first met in this world, I was all but spent. |
| 234 | 230 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002180_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | I never thought to wonder why until now. |
| 235 | 231 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002190_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | I think it all just got to be too much. |
| 236 | 232 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002200_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | The guilt of causing the Flood... Knowing everyone hated me... But the worst thing was the solitude. |
| 237 | 233 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002210_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Time wears you down, aye...but solitude <Emphasis>eats</Emphasis> away at you. It was <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> close to finishing me off. But as bad as it got, and as empty as I felt...I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for Emet-Selch. |
| 238 | 234 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002220_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | All of which is a long way of saying: don't make a choice that leaves you alone. Nothing is worth that─especially not eternity. |
| 239 | 235 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002230_ALPHINAUD | Glad tidings, my friend! The Ladder lives again! |
| 240 | 236 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002240_ALISAIE | The three of us have been invited to do the honors. Are you <Emphasis>up</Emphasis> for it? Of course, if you're worried that the whole thing might come crashing <Emphasis>down</Emphasis>, we can always find someone else. |
| 241 | 237 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002250_ALISAIE | That's the spirit! Come on, then! |
| 242 | 238 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002260_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | We rode the Ladder too, my comrades and I. Once upon a time. |
| 243 | 239 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002270_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Watched the horizon grow and the town shrink below us... |
| 244 | 240 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002280_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Awed and terrified in equal measure, we ascended without a word, the silence broken only by the rhythm of the gears. |
| 245 | 241 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002290_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | No one but me remembers that day. |
| 246 | 242 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002300_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Remembers our journey...and our end. Retread the path─seek and you may yet find... |
| 247 | 243 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002310_ALISAIE | You're a sight for sore eyes. I don't know about you, but I bumped into quite a few sin eaters out there. |
| 248 | 244 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002320_ALISAIE | You too, then. It seems the closer we get to Mt. Gulg, the more of them there are. |
| 249 | 245 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002330_ALISAIE | Looks a lot bigger from here, doesn't it? |
| 250 | 246 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002340_ALISAIE | If I were Vauthry, the first thing I'd do is surround myself with as many sin eaters as I could lay my hands on. |
| 251 | 247 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002350_ALISAIE | And judging by the number we've already faced, his lordship is of the same mind. |
| 252 | 248 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002360_ALISAIE | This is going to be a tough climb. |
| 253 | 249 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002370_ALISAIE | But first things first: we need to determine if climbing is even an option. The more I look, the less likely it seems... |
| 254 | 250 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002380_ALISAIE | Y'shtola is right to be worried, but flying may be our only choice after all. |
| 255 | 251 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002390_URIANGER | There you are. Master Alphinaud was afeared you had met with some misfortune. |
| 256 | 252 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002400_ALISAIE | Urianger! ...And you too, Exarch! What brings you here? |
| 257 | 253 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002410_MYSTERYVOICE | I wish to observe the final struggle with my own eyes. |
| 258 | 254 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002420_MYSTERYVOICE | I arrived at the Bottom Rung too late to accompany you, but I was in time to join Urianger and the others. |
| 259 | 255 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002430_MYSTERYVOICE | Come, let us see how this unfolds. |
| 260 | 256 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002440_ALISAIE | Well, it seems flying is off the table. |
| 261 | 257 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002450_MYSTERYVOICE | If we have learned that much, then the machina have served their purpose. |
| 262 | 258 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002460_ALISAIE | Ah, so that's what they were for. Wasteful, but effective. |
| 263 | 259 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002470_URIANGER | 'Twould seem our foe will not be reached by land or air. We must needs withdraw to consider another course. |
| 264 | 260 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002480_URIANGER | Master Alphinaud waiteth for us at Top Rung. Thither should we make our way. |
| 265 | 261 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002490_THANCRED | ...In short, there's no path, and the sky is thick with Vauthry's winged devils. |
| 266 | 262 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002500_ALPHINAUD | We might consider amaro, but without extensive training, we cannot hope to contend with the eaters. |
| 267 | 263 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002510_ALPHINAUD | Eulmore's airship fleet, meanwhile, consists solely of transport vessels ill-suited for battle. And without the expertise of one such as Cid, we are in no position to attempt a refit. |
| 268 | 264 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002520_DULIACHAI | Oh, it's so <Emphasis>frustrating</Emphasis>! That wretched mountain should jolly well come back down to earth! |
| 269 | 265 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002530_CHAINUZZ | Now, now, dearest. We mustn't disturb these good people at their work. |
| 270 | 266 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002540_CHAINUZZ | We've ridden the Ladder and seen the sights. It's past time we took our leave. |
| 271 | 267 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002550_YSHTOLA | The lady may well have the right of it. |
| 272 | 268 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002560_YSHTOLA | Mt. Gulg will not soon come down to earth, nor can we compel it to do so. But if the mountain will not come to the land, mayhap the land may be made to come to the mountain... |
| 273 | 269 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002570_YSHTOLA | ...In the form of a Talos. A Talos large enough to reach out and take the volcano in its grasp. |
| 274 | 270 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002580_URIANGER | To build such a golem would be an onerous undertaking indeed...yet the principle seemeth sound in itself. |
| 275 | 271 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002590_CHAINUZZ | Balderdash! No one has ever made one even half that size! |
| 276 | 272 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002600_CHAINUZZ | Leaving aside the small matter of logistics─which, by the way, would be <Emphasis>no small matter</Emphasis>─the design would need to be <Emphasis>unimaginably</Emphasis> complex! |
| 277 | 273 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002610_CHAINUZZ | Though, I suppose... Hmm... If its only function is to cling to the ruddy mountain, perhaps it needn't be... |
| 278 | 274 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002620_CHAINUZZ | A solid base, firmly rooted to the ground─sacrifice mobility to simplify the construction, reducing materials required... |
| 279 | 275 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002630_CHAINUZZ | Wait, wait, wait! What am I thinking!? We would still need a veritable <Emphasis>army</Emphasis> of people to do the work! |
| 280 | 276 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002640_CHAINUZZ | Left to the crew that helped down below, it would take decades, if not a nice round century! |
| 281 | 277 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002650_ALISAIE | So we need more hands. And what sort of things would these hands be required to do? |
| 282 | 278 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002660_CHAINUZZ | Oh? Er... Well, er... Well, let's see... First, we'd need people to procure the stone for the chassis. |
| 283 | 279 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002670_CHAINUZZ | The rock found near the mountain would suit our purposes well enough. It'd be a simple task to quarry the stuff, but given the stupendous quantity required, we'd need all the help we can get. |
| 284 | 280 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002680_THANCRED | We have friends amongst the miners of Amh Araeng. I will go and petition their aid. |
| 285 | 281 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002690_ALISAIE | While you do that, I'll make for Mord Souq. I'm sure I'll be able to drum up some support. |
| 286 | 282 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002700_ALPHINAUD | Then I shall return to Kholusia. |
| 287 | 283 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002710_ALPHINAUD | From fishers to carpenters, Eulmore is home to all manner of talented folk. I daresay their skills will avail us. |
| 288 | 284 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002720_RYNE | Is there anything else you need? |
| 289 | 285 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002730_CHAINUZZ | Well...yes, actually... Magic. Lots of the stuff. As much as possible. To awaken a Talos of this size would require an entire congregation of mages. |
| 290 | 286 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002740_YSHTOLA | Many among the Night's Blessed are gifted in the arcane arts. I will recruit them to our cause. |
| 291 | 287 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002750_URIANGER | The fae folk too, possess surpassing aptitude in magicks. Yet they are not wont to cooperate in the endeavors of men. Leastwise, not without making all manner of mischief. |
| 292 | 288 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002760_URIANGER | That being the case, I would instead call upon the people of the Crystarium─with thy permission, Exarch. |
| 293 | 289 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002770_MYSTERYVOICE | We are at your disposal, as are our amaro and chocobos. |
| 294 | 290 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002780_CHAINUZZ | I'm sorry─you mean to tell me you can call on not only the people of Eulmore and the Crystarium, but the Night's Blessed, and the Mord, and even those miners!? |
| 295 | 291 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002790_CHAINUZZ | But that's just about everyone in bally Norvrandt! |
| 296 | 292 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002800_CHAINUZZ | Who <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> you people!? And how did you come to have so many <Emphasis>friends</Emphasis>!? |
| 297 | 293 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 298 | 294 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | The saviors of the world. |
| 299 | 295 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Adventurers of no import. |
| 300 | 296 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A5_000_003_NONE_VOICE | The artist Alphinaud and his assistants. |
| 301 | 297 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002810_CHAINUZZ | Saviors of the world? Are you being serious? Oh gods, you are... |
| 302 | 298 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002820_CHAINUZZ | No import? You expect me to believe that after you just promised me the help of the better part of the world!? |
| 303 | 299 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002830_DULIACHAI | Oh, dearest, have you forgotten already? Alphinaud told us that when we first met. |
| 304 | 300 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002840_CHAINUZZ | Um, actually, that may not have been... Never mind... |
| 305 | 301 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002850_YSHTOLA | So, as you can see, you will not want for bodies. I trust you will have your design ready in good time for their arrival. |
| 306 | 302 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002860_YSHTOLA | Norvrandt is counting on you...heir to Daedalus Stoneworks. |
| 307 | 303 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002870_RYNE | We'll be back as soon as we can─and we'll bring the whole world with us. |
| 308 | 304 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002880_MYSTERYVOICE | ...I take it we will be assisting Master Chai. Though I am quite sure he has everything under control... |
| 309 | 305 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002890_MYSTERYVOICE | The future is where my destiny awaits... |

| 311 | 307 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002910_MYSTERYVOICE | Forgive me, I was...lost in a dream. |
| 312 | 308 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002920_MYSTERYVOICE | I needed some fresh air, and thought to rest for a moment. It would seem I am more fatigued than I realized. |
| 313 | 309 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002930_MYSTERYVOICE | Too much time away from the tower, I fear. It drains me─leaves my body frail and weak. |
| 314 | 310 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002940_MYSTERYVOICE | Though, in truth, it is debatable whether I can still call this my body... |
| 315 | 311 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002950_MYSTERYVOICE | When first I turned my mind towards the salvation of the world, I came to the conclusion that it would take many long years. Many more than remained to me. |
| 316 | 312 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002960_MYSTERYVOICE | And so I made myself one with the Crystal Tower, that I might live indefinitely. |
| 317 | 313 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002970_MYSTERYVOICE | I am but an extension of it now. Hence my weakness the farther I travel, and the longer I am away. |
| 318 | 314 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002980_MYSTERYVOICE | It has been quite a journey. |
| 319 | 315 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002990_MYSTERYVOICE | But thanks to you, the end is in sight. My wish will finally be fulfilled. |
| 320 | 316 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003000_MYSTERYVOICE | How goes the construction effort? |
| 321 | 317 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003010_MYSTERYVOICE | Then this may be the last moment we have to ourselves for a while. Come, sit with me. |
| 322 | 318 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003020_MYSTERYVOICE | Tell me, when all of this is over, what will you do? |
| 323 | 319 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 324 | 320 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I'll settle matters with the Empire. |
| 325 | 321 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE | What I always do: seek out mightier foes. |
| 326 | 322 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Rest awhile. |
| 327 | 323 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_004_NONE_VOICE | ... |
| 328 | 324 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003030_MYSTERYVOICE | Ah, yes. Even should we succeed in forestalling the Eighth Umbral Calamity, the specter of war will remain. |
| 329 | 325 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003040_MYSTERYVOICE | But to declare your intent with such easy resolve... You truly are a heroes' hero, my friend. |
| 330 | 326 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003050_MYSTERYVOICE | In the hundred years they have existed, no one had come close to ridding us of even a <Emphasis>single</Emphasis> Lightwarden. Yet already you yearn for the next challenge. You truly are a world apart from us all. |
| 331 | 327 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003060_MYSTERYVOICE | That would be well deserved. You might consider roaming Norvrandt not as her savior, but as a simple sightseer. Viewed through such eyes, I am certain she would seem quite different. |
| 332 | 328 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003070_MYSTERYVOICE | Well, you needn't hurry to decide. I was merely curious to know what sort of future lay in store for a hero with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> life ahead of <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If>. |
| 333 | 329 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003080_MYSTERYVOICE | But whatever it is you decide to do, I have every confidence that you will do well. For you have the strength to forge your own path. |
| 334 | 330 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003090_MYSTERYVOICE | You will leave countless lives better than you found them, and the souls you touch will never forget your kindness. |
| 335 | 331 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003100_MYSTERYVOICE | Then, in trying times, when you question your worth and your choices, they will raise their voices to remind you of the difference you have made. |
| 336 | 332 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003110_MYSTERYVOICE | And thus will your deeds come to affirm your path. Remember this. |
| 337 | 333 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 338 | 334 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> do when this is over? |
| 339 | 335 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE | I would know more of you. |
| 340 | 336 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003120_MYSTERYVOICE | When this is over... Indeed... |
| 341 | 337 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003130_MYSTERYVOICE | Of <Emphasis>me</Emphasis>? You mean what I intend to do afterwards? |
| 342 | 338 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003140_MYSTERYVOICE | I once told you that there are things we can ill afford to lose. |
| 343 | 339 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003150_MYSTERYVOICE | "Things,“ I said, though in truth I spoke of a person. One who is unaware of the full extent of my plans. Though he deserves to know, I have good reason to keep my counsel. |
| 344 | 340 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003160_MYSTERYVOICE | “Things,” I said, though in truth I spoke of a person. One who is unaware of the full extent of my plans. Though she deserves to know, I have good reason to keep my counsel. |
| 345 | 341 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003170_MYSTERYVOICE | I have come to terms with this in my mind, yet my heart yearns to lay everything bare. For <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> is my inspiration, and I would give much and more for the chance to speak with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> as friends, with no thought of concealment. |
| 346 | 342 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003180_MYSTERYVOICE | Should <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> indulge me with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> tales, I would regale <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> with my own─about my efforts in Norvrandt, perhaps. |
| 347 | 343 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003190_MYSTERYVOICE | Though...ultimately, that tale is more yours than it is mine. |
| 348 | 344 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003200_MYSTERYVOICE | Then...I would ask <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> about <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> next adventure. And if <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> should wish me to be a part of it, oh...how happy it would make me. |
| 349 | 345 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003210_MYSTERYVOICE | Together, we would travel the lands and cross the seas and take to the skies upon the eternal wind... My heart swells simply to imagine it. |
| 350 | 346 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003220_MYSTERYVOICE | But all of this is contingent upon our victory in the coming battle. |
| 351 | 347 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003230_MYSTERYVOICE | The people of this world have entrusted their hopes to us. We cannot fail them. |
| 352 | 348 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003240_MYSTERYVOICE | ...Nor those who roused me from my slumber. |

| 359 | 355 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003310_YSHTOLA | We shall catch Vauthry, mountain and all! |
| 360 | 356 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003320_CHAINUZZ | Here it comes! |
| 361 | 357 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003330_CHAINUZZ | Hah hah! Yes! <Emphasis>Yes</Emphasis>! You've not lost your touch, you clever old bugger! |
| 362 | 358 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003340_CHAINUZZ | Do you see what they're doing!? If its hands are damaged, it won't be able to cling to the mountain! Oh, I <Emphasis>knew</Emphasis> this was a terrible idea! |
| 363 | 359 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003350_MYSTERYVOICE | Vauthry marshals the eaters to his defense. This was only to be expected. |
| 364 | 360 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003360_MYSTERYVOICE | We must try and draw as many of them down to the ground as possible. It may not be enough, but we have no other choice. |
| 365 | 361 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003370_MYSTERYVOICE | Is that─? |
| 366 | 362 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003380_FEOUL | Such a heartless thing our sapling is! Cold and cruel and <Emphasis>heartless</Emphasis>! |
| 367 | 363 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003390_FEOUL | Summon us in times of need, we <Emphasis>expressly</Emphasis> said─yet what should we find but the final battle joined without so much as a <Emphasis>whisper</Emphasis> of our name! |
| 368 | 364 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003400_FEOUL | Yes, yes, we may also have said that we fae folk have no interest in the struggles of men─ |

| 370 | 366 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003420_FEOUL | We are so very, very sad. <Emphasis>You</Emphasis> will play with us. <Emphasis>Cheer us up again</Emphasis>! |
| 371 | 367 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 372 | 368 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Thank you, Feo Ul. |

| 374 | 370 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003430_MYSTERYVOICE | This I did not expect. But I will gladly accept the help. |
| 375 | 371 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003440_MYSTERYVOICE | I will send word to Y'shtola and the others. Join them at the foot of Mt. Gulg and be ready to make the ascent! |
| 376 | 372 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003450_ALPHINAUD | The end is near, my friends. We have found Vauthry's hiding place. |
| 377 | 373 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003460_VAUTHRY | (-Vauthry-)Unrepentant villains. Will you not be satisfied until you have brought disaster down upon your own heads? |
| 378 | 374 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003470_VAUTHRY | (-Vauthry-)By your wickedness, you stand to gain naught but ceaseless conflict! |

| 380 | 376 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003490_VAUTHRY | (-Vauthry-)You could have lived in bliss in my eternal paradise, free from the burdens of conscience and purpose! |
| 381 | 377 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003500_ALPHINAUD | Peace assumes many forms, and I do not doubt that you considered yours well worth the cost. I was even prepared to believe that the end might justify the means. |
| 382 | 378 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003510_ALPHINAUD | Ignorant as I was, I had hoped that you might mend your ways and join hands with us. That we might strive together for the happiness of all... |
| 383 | 379 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003520_ALPHINAUD | ...But no more. Your actions cannot be reconciled with your words. |
| 384 | 380 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003530_ALPHINAUD | "Peace for all,“ you say, yet when you were threatened, your first act was to sacrifice your own people in order to save yourself. |
| 385 | 381 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003540_ALPHINAUD | If your paradise can be rebuilt so long as you alone survive, it exists not for the people. It exists solely for your twisted pleasure! |

| 387 | 383 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003560_RYNE | I made a promise to a noble soul─a woman who saw fit to entrust me with her legacy─and I mean to keep it. |

| 409 | 405 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003780_OLDEULMOREMAYOR | I'll wager they were put up to it by those wretches who seek to usurp me. They're stirring up the citizenry. |
| 410 | 406 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003790_OLDEULMOREMAYOR | But if they think I will yield to the likes of them, they are gravely mistaken! |

| 425 | 421 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003940_MYSTERYVOICE | The combined power of every Lightwarden is too terrible a burden for any one soul to bear. |
| 426 | 422 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003950_MYSTERYVOICE | And so I shall relieve you of it. |
| 427 | 423 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003960_ALISAIE | Exarch!? What are you doing!? |
| 428 | 424 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003970_MYSTERYVOICE | I will channel this profusion of power to the Crystal Tower and use it to travel to other worlds. |
| 429 | 425 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003980_MYSTERYVOICE | As I have dreamed of doing ever since I first learned of their existence! |
| 430 | 426 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003990_MYSTERYVOICE | Who would choose to remain here, in this dying realm, when they might go elsewhere and begin anew? Not I. And thus...thus did I <Emphasis>use</Emphasis> you! |
| 431 | 427 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004000_RYNE | No... No, I don't believe you! It doesn't make sense! |
| 432 | 428 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004010_ALISAIE | Damn you! We won't let you do with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> as you please! |
| 433 | 429 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004020_URIANGER | Do not interfere! |
| 434 | 430 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004030_URIANGER | Please! I beseech you all! <Emphasis>Let him go</Emphasis>! |
| 435 | 431 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004040_YSHTOLA | You knew of this, Urianger. |
| 436 | 432 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004050_YSHTOLA | 'Tis all a fiction. Such vaguely defined acts of teleportation stand no chance of success. |
| 437 | 433 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004060_YSHTOLA | The Exarch will never live to see another world─as he knows only too well. |
| 438 | 434 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004070_ALPHINAUD | Then...what does he mean to do? |
| 439 | 435 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004080_YSHTOLA | He means to take the Light with him into the rift...where he will die. |
| 440 | 436 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004090_YSHTOLA | He means to take the Light with him into the rift...where he will die. |
| 441 | 437 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004100_YSHTOLA | From the beginning, he intended to sacrifice himself to save our friend and Norvrandt. |
| 442 | 438 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004110_MYSTERYVOICE | At journey's end, an opportunistic thief makes off with the hero's prize. |
| 443 | 439 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004120_MYSTERYVOICE | A paltry way to end a chapter, I concede. |
| 444 | 440 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004130_MYSTERYVOICE | Yet your tale will continue, and my role in it will scarcely be remembered. |
| 445 | 441 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004140_MYSTERYVOICE | Worry not. Whatever should become of me, I will be happy and free, safe in the knowledge that I have played my part. |
| 446 | 442 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q9_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you do? |
| 447 | 443 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A9_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Remain silent. |
| 448 | 444 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A9_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Call him by his name. |
| 449 | 445 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004150_MYSTERYVOICE | Thank you for fighting for this world. For believing. |
| 450 | 446 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004160_MYSTERYVOICE | Fare you well, my friend─my inspiration. |
| 451 | 447 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004170_MYSTERYVOICE | Thank you for fighting for this world. For believing. |
| 452 | 448 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004180_MYSTERYVOICE | Fare you well, my friend─my inspiration. |
| 453 | 449 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004190_EMETSELCH | Only those who possess the Royal Eye of the Allagan imperial line are capable of controlling the Crystal Tower. Such individuals do not exist in the First. |
| 454 | 450 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004200_EMETSELCH | Therefore, in all likelihood, the Exarch arrived here with the tower. This much I had surmised, yet I could not discern his grand scheme. |
| 455 | 451 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004210_EMETSELCH | To think that he went through all this trouble for the sake of a single hero. It's almost admirable in its absurdity. |
| 456 | 452 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004220_EMETSELCH | Alas, it is not your grand scheme that will succeed, but ours. |
| 457 | 453 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004230_THANCRED | You bastard! |
| 458 | 454 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004240_EMETSELCH | Stay put. Your friend is still alive, but whether he remains so depends on you. |
| 459 | 455 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004250_EMETSELCH | What a disappointment you turned out to be. |
| 460 | 456 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004260_EMETSELCH | I placed my faith in you. Let myself believe that you could contain the Light. |
| 461 | 457 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004270_EMETSELCH | But look at you now, halfway to becoming a monster. You are unworthy of my patronage. |
| 462 | 458 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q10_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 463 | 459 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A10_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What do you intend to do? |
| 464 | 460 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A10_000_002_NONE_VOICE | It was you who created Vauthry, wasn't it? |
| 465 | 461 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004280_EMETSELCH | (SIGH) |
| 466 | 462 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004290_EMETSELCH | I am an Ascian. My heart's sole desire is to usher in the Great Rejoining. |
| 467 | 463 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004300_EMETSELCH | A hundred years ago, I entrusted my comrade Loghrif with the task of increasing Light's sway over this world. This we sought to do by manipulating heroes. |
| 468 | 464 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004310_EMETSELCH | When that failed to achieve the desired result, I created Vauthry. |
| 469 | 465 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004320_EMETSELCH | But thanks to your meddling, that too has ended in failure. |
| 470 | 466 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004330_ALPHINAUD | What was your true purpose in approaching us? |
| 471 | 467 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004340_EMETSELCH | By your Twelve, boy, have I not told you before that everything I said was the truth? |
| 472 | 468 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004350_EMETSELCH | You were specimens by which I might gauge man's potential as it stands. |
| 473 | 469 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004360_EMETSELCH | I genuinely had an interest in you. Genuinely considered taking you on as allies. |
| 474 | 470 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004370_EMETSELCH | Provided <Emphasis><If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If></Emphasis> could contain and control the Light. |
| 475 | 471 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004380_EMETSELCH | If not then <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If>─and by extension you─would be of no use to me. 'Twas as simple as that. |
| 476 | 472 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004390_THANCRED | So we've been found wanting. How disheartening. |
| 477 | 473 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004400_THANCRED | But even had we fulfilled your conditions, there was no guarantee that we would cooperate. What then? |
| 478 | 474 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004410_EMETSELCH | Then I simply kill you all. At the very least, it would restore the world to the way it was before you went about trouncing Lightwardens willy-nilly. |
| 479 | 475 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004420_EMETSELCH | Suffice it to say it would be most inconvenient to have all that Light taken away─and I would be lying if I were to claim his actions didn't have me worried. |
| 480 | 476 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004430_EMETSELCH | Hm, you still retain your form and your senses...but you have all but become a sin eater. |
| 481 | 477 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004440_EMETSELCH | Whether you will it or no, your mere existence will serve to engulf the world in Light. |
| 482 | 478 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004450_EMETSELCH | Those in your company will likewise turn into sin eaters, and in time you will succumb to your base instincts and hunt innocents to feast on their sweet, sweet aether. |
| 483 | 479 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004460_EMETSELCH | Those few with the will left to fight may rise up against you. But before your absolute might, they will quickly know despair. |
| 484 | 480 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004470_EMETSELCH | "There is no hope! We are finished! <Emphasis>Mankind</Emphasis> is finished!“ |
| 485 | 481 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004480_EMETSELCH | Ahhh, the irony. What Vauthry achieved through bliss, you will achieve through despair. |
| 486 | 482 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004490_EMETSELCH | But I have overstayed my welcome. I shall look forward to seeing you bring the world to its knees, hero. |
| 487 | 483 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004500_ALPHINAUD | Exarch! |
| 488 | 484 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004510_EMETSELCH | I have naught to show for all the time and effort I invested in you. He is a small token for my troubles. |
| 489 | 485 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004520_EMETSELCH | I did not expect that I could learn aught from man, but I may yet learn something from all the knowledge he had hoarded for his precious hero. |
| 490 | 486 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004530_EMETSELCH | I pity you, I do. |
| 491 | 487 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004540_EMETSELCH | Your friends are now your foes. If you do not kill them, they will kill you. |
| 492 | 488 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004550_EMETSELCH | When it all becomes too much to bear, seek me out at my abode, in the dark depths of the Tempest. |
| 493 | 489 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004560_EMETSELCH | There, you may complete your descent into madness with some dignity, far from prying eyes. |
| 494 | 490 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004570_EMETSELCH | Till then, I bid you farewell...eater. |
| 495 | 491 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004580_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Ah. Finally. |
| 496 | 492 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q11_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 497 | 493 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A11_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Was it just a dream? |
| 498 | 494 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A11_000_002_NONE_VOICE | What happened? |
| 499 | 495 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004590_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | You're confused, and small wonder. |
| 500 | 496 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004600_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | After you collapsed, Emet-Selch vanished. |
| 501 | 497 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004610_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Then Ryne did what she could to stay the raging of the Light within your body. |
| 502 | 498 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004620_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Thanks to her, you're still you, but she's only delayed the inevitable. |
| 503 | 499 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004630_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | You're not going to like what you see, but you still need to see it. |
| 504 | 500 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004640_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | It's like this all over. The whole of Norvrandt is shrouded in Light again. |
| 505 | 501 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004650_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | And it's because of you and the power you absorbed from the Wardens. |
| 506 | 502 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004660_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | No one knows but your friends. |
| 507 | 503 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004670_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | When they carried you down from the mountain, they told everyone waiting below that they didn't understand why the Light had returned. |
| 508 | 504 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004680_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | And now they're out there trying to allay the people's fears while searching for a way to save you. |
| 509 | 505 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004690_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | If you're well enough to be up, you're well enough to get some fresh air. Better that than stewing in here. Go on. Go. |
