Captured Beauty/Dialogues

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view**

Madelina and Norah are seen at the dining table having dinner with the queen, KJ and Susan...

* + Norah (laughing): So we ended up with 4 pregnant women at the camp, all wrestling with each other over than one soldier, claiming that he’s their baby daddies!

* + Marionette (shocked): What happened to the soldier? Was he-

* + Norah (innocent smirk): Oh! Don’t worry he wasn’t castrated! But he did get sacked and now he has to pay child support for 4 children to 4 different women!

* + KJ (pissed): Ugh... Why do we have to eat this? Can’t I just have cake?!

* + Leonora (pissed): No, KJ. I told you, you are banned from eating sweets for a year! This is your punishment for deceiving me, your father and the whole palace!

* + KJ (crossing his arms): THAT’S NOT FAIR! If I can’t have sweets, then I’m not eating anything!

* + Susan (eye rolling): Good! Starve to death for all we care.

Suddenly, the dining room’s door opens, revealing Kaleb...

* + Kaleb (nervous): ...

* + Leonora (avoiding eye contact): ...

* + KJ (avoiding eye contact): ...

* + Marionette (happy): Kaleb! You finally came! The chef was waiting for you, she has your food in the oven, ready t-

* + Kaleb (serious): Everyone! OUT!

* + Susan (eye rolling): Excuse me?! Can’t you see we are still eatin-

* + Kaleb (stern): I said OUT!

* + Susan (blushing): ....

All of them get up to leave...

* + Kaleb (serious): Lea... You stay...

* + Leonora (avoiding eye contact): ....

Leonora gets back on her seat, while the others reach the door to leave....

* + KJ (guilty): Father... About the wheelchai-

* + Kaleb (avoiding eye contact): We’ll take about that later, Junior. At that moment, I’d like to speak with your aunt...

* + KJ (sad): ...

Everyone leaves the room, leaving Kaleb and Leonora by themselves....

* + Leonora (nervous): ...

* + Kaleb (blushing): You know Lea... You can eat...

* + Leonora (displeased): I lost my appetite. Just to tell me what you came here for before I leave...

* + Kaleb (nervous): ....

* + Kaleb (covering his face): I came here to apologize for the argument we had earlier this day...

* + Leonora (hand on hips): An apology? Interesting. And what is it for?!

* + Kaleb (holding his head): Leonora... You kno-

* + Leonora (furious): Are you apologizing for the truth bombs you’ve dropped on me, or for being a disgusting corpse-loving freak!

* + Kaleb (holding his anger): Lea.... I would watch my mouth if I were you... You don’t want to push my buttons agai-

* + Leonora (pissed): Oh no, you are not threatening me that time! I WILL talk and you will listen to me!

* + Leonora (angry): You are one of the most selfish me I know! You think of no one’s feelings but yourself! What do you think Norah would feel if she knew about this whole thing? Do you KJ, yours and Yvette’s child would like it? Do you think Yvette would approve of this?

* + Leonora (pissed): You may not see it this way! But what you’re doing to Yvette... IT’S RAPE! Yvette can’t consent to the things you’re doing to her! SHE IS DEAD!

* + Kaleb (angry): Yvette would have been perfectly okay with it! SHE LOVED ME!

* + Leonora (furious): LOVE?! You think she’d love you after this! I’m sure she’s looking down at you and is regretting every second she spend with you! Regrets dying for you!

* + Leonora (angry): I wish she has never met you! Maybe then... She would have been still alive! And won’t have to see her corpse becoming your little playthin-

* + Kaleb (furious): ENOUGH!

Kaleb then falls to his knees and starts crying...

* + Kaleb (crying): Please... stop... Just stop!

* + Leonora (guilty): Kaleb...

* + Kaleb (sad): You think I’m proud for doing this?! I know it’s wrong, but I can’t bury her, Lea! I just can’t... I loved her! I can’t see her leave me! Not again! Not ever!

* + Leonora (holding her head): Kaleb, I know you do... But I can’t just let you sleep with her, it’s not just out of respect for her, but also your health... I mean, I have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? You look like a corpse yourself!

* + Kaleb (tearful): I know, I know! And I promise you I won’t have sex with her again! But I’m begging! Don’t let her get buried! Let her stay in my room, let me take care of her and when I die, you are free to do whatever you wish to her!

* + Leonora (covering her face): ...

* + Leonora (sad): I still don’t like this... But as long as you don’t fuck her, then it’s fine with me...

Kaleb smiles and hugs Leonora’s knees...

* + Kaleb (happy; crying): Thank you, Lea! Thank you! I couldn’t ask for a better and more understanding sister! THANK YOU!

* + Leonora (holding her head): No problem... Now please... I need to lea-

Suddenly someone knocks on the door...

* + Kaleb (pissed): For Gods’ sake!

Kaleb opens the door...

* + Kaleb (angry): I thought I told you to lea-

* + Shirley (panicking): S-sir Willoughby.... Y-your Grace!

Shirley runs to the queen...

* + Shirley (panicking): Your Majesty! Please, you have to do something! He needs our help!

* + Leonora (appeasing): Shirley, please calm down and tell me what’s happening...

* + Shirley (breathing heavily): Vicci... H-he sent me an Iris message!

* + Kaleb (pissed): Vicci?! Isn’t he a soldier? What is he doing messaging you? I thought I made it clear no soldier is allowed to make contact with wome-

* + Leonora (serious): Kaleb, please, you’re scaring her. Continue?

* + Leonora (shocked): He sent me an Iris message! He says that the ship carrying Gisele Najm was attacked by pirates and escaped!

* + Kaleb (furious): Are you serious?! I give them one job and they fail?! Who’s the pirate who attacked them anyway?

* + Leonora (panicking): Ann Bonny! A-and she took him and the soldiers as prisoners! She’s taking to a place called Clew Bay and wants to sell them to slavery!

Meanwhile, in Southern France. The *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* crew, Artemis and her huntresses are following Scholastica to the city of Xerda...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; bruises face; tired): I swear if I had to hike one more time... Have we arrived yet?!

* + Scholastica (annoyed): Whine one more time, and I’ll give you another black eye!

* + Scholastica (smiling): Anyway, it seems like we’ve found ourselves a shortcut!

* + Artemis (confused): A shortcut?! I don’t see anything!

* + Scholastica (eye rolling): For someone who’s been hunting for centuries, you sure are very blind...

Scholastic uses her shield to block the waterfall and a cave was exposed behind it...

* + Ginny (shocked): But... But Ling was using that waterfall to bathe herself! How come she didn’t spot the cave?!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; laughing): She’s Asian! What do you expect from her?!

* + Yoyo and Hasuro (both pissed; Hasuro): Racist much?!

* + Scholastica (pissed): Do you want to get to Xerda or what?! Stop bickering and pass through the shield!

The group gets in the cave and they see a large drop with water flowing down into it...

* + Scholastica (smiling): And this hole leads you straight to Xerda!

* + Mia (confused): But there’s no steps or even a ladder! How can we get down here?

* + Scholastica (winked): Who said we needed those things?

Scholastica then gives Mia a push, making her fall into the hole...

* + Mia (horrified): Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

* + Zachary (shocked): MIA!!!

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; panicking): WE NEED TO SAVE HER!!!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; shocked): But how the hell would we do that?! She could have reached the ground as we’re talking and met her dea-

* + Zachary (determined): Mia! I’m coming for you!

Zachary jumps into the hole...

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (shocked): ZACH!!

The whole group then follows him into the hole, while Chet, Chase and the huntresses stayed behind...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): And the award for the biggest idiots go to...

* + Madelina (panicking): Oh no! We can’t let them die we have to-

Madelina was about to jump but Artemis grabs her...

* + Artemis (pissed): Lady Alonzo, what do you think you’re doing?!

* + Madelina (blushing): I’m going to save them!

* + Artemis (hand on hips): And get yourself killed?! Are you crazy?

* + Huntresses (Huntress 2; shocked): But Lady Artemis! How are we going to go down there?!

* + Scholastica (laughing): You know, you could just jump!

* + Artemis (pissed): Be silent, you sociopath! You will be in big trouble once we are done with Orion!

* + Artemis (innocent smirk): Anyway, as she said we could just jump but lucky for us, we have parachutes!

* + Scholastica (serious): You know... You don’t really need this, there’s-

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Madelina; shocked): But none of us have parachutes with us!

* + Artemis (serious): Then hold on to someone who has!

* + Scholastica (covering her face): *sigh*

Meanwhile at the drop....

* + Mia (falling; praying): Oh Hades! Please grant me a safe path to Elysium and make sure that my death would be quick once I hit the grou-

SPLASH!!!

* + Mia (shocked): I’m alive! I’m ali-

Suddenly the crew falls on the water, creating a huge splash that caught the Xerdans’ attention...

* + Zachary (happy): MIA!!!

* + Zachary and Mia (hugging; Zachary): Oh Mia! I’m so glad you’re safe, we thought we would lose you!

* + Mia (awkward grin): I’m glad to be alive too. Anyway, where’s the others?

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; worried): They’re still up.. God... I hope they’re not fighting Scholastica, thinking we’re dead...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; laughing): Nah! I doubt they care about us that much! Haha!

They then look up and see the huntresses go down using parachutes...

* + Artemis and Chet (Chet; holding Artemis; closing his eyes and shivering): A-are we down yet? C-can I open my eyes?!

* + Artemis and Chet (Artemis; pissed): Get your filthy man hands away from my face! Ugh... That smell! Don’t me you’ve been touching yourself! Eek!

* + Madelina and Ginny (both happy; Ginny): They’re alive! LOOK! There’s water!

* + Chase and the huntresses (Chase; grinning; being carried by three huntresses): It looks like that sexy tall lady wasn’t planning to kill us after all!

* + Artemis and Chet (Artemis; glad): Well... At least we get to land dry-

Suddenly, they look up and see Scholastica falling and her weight pulls them with her to the water...

* + Huntresses (all disgusted): Ewwww....

* + Madelina (freaking out): MY HAIR!!!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): You females like to make a big deal over anything! It’s just water!

* + Scholastica (smiling): I hope you all had fun!

* + Artemis (drying herself): Yeah... But next time, you go first!

The group realizes Xerdans has gathered around to see them...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; blushing): This is embarrassing...

* + Madelina (hiding her face): OMG! They can’t see me live this! Someone cover me!

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; grinning): Chet, I think you need to take cover too, the water really helps make your bulge more visible...

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; mortified; covering his crotch): Ah!

Suddenly a familiar face comes from the crowd..

* + Rozetta (happy): Mia! I’m so glad you and your friends made it!

* + Mia (smirking): We’re glad to make it too, and look! We brought back up!

Mia points at Artemis...

* + Artemis (hand on hips): You must be one of Penthesilia’s offspring...

* + Rozetta (awkward smile): Yeah, my name is Rozetta Pierre, it’s a pleasure to meet you Lady Artemis..

Rozetta gives Artemis her hand, but Artemis does not shake it...

* + Artemis (disgusted): Oh please! Spare me the false courtesy! I’m as uninterested in this alliance as you are, just take me to your queen so we can get this over wi-

Artemis notices males in the crowd...

* + Xerdans (male; waving): Hi....

* + Artemis (confused): Why... Are you allowing your prisoners to roam free like citizens?!

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): Because they ARE citizens...

* + Artemis (shocked): M-male... citizens... I-in XERDA?!

* + Artemis (fainting): ...

* + Huntresses (shocked): LADY ARTEMIS!

The huntresses go to care for their lady...

* + Rozetta (smirking): Anyway, while the moon goddess is still trying to process that, why don’t I take you to Johanna, Mia? She’s dying to see you...

* + Mia (glad): I’m excited to see her too! Lets go!

At the camp...

* + Mia (shocked): Wait?! Isn’t that the camp the Olympians built in your city?! It looks so different!

* + Rozetta (grinning): Yeah, Johanna decided to make some renovations to the camp, do you like it?

* + Mia (innocent smirk): Well... I definitely am glad she took down the marble statues of Galinda and her goons! The ivory one’s look better!

* + Mia (happy): Look! That’s you! And this.. This is me!

* + Mia (smiling): There’s also one of Otto... and-

Mia sees a statue of Hamilton and her smile goes away...

* + Rozetta (sympathetic): Mia, are you okay?

* + Mia (sad): Yes.. It’s just... I wish Hamilton was still here to see all this...

* + Rozetta (sad): We all do. But you know, when heroes die, they usually are given a choice. Either they are brought back to life, become gods or they go to Elysium. I’m sure Hamilton made his choice...

* Rozetta (smiling): Anyway, I’m glad you liked the statues. Pygmalion really worked his ass off with them...

* + Mia (confused): Pygmalion?!

* + Rozetta (thinking): Yeah... I never met him, but according to Johanna, he’s a sculptor that two of our warriors found in Cyprus with his family, they learned that they were originally from Ancient times but were revived and so they decided to take them into the city...

* + Rozetta (smiling): Johanna liked his work so she hired him to make renovations for the city...

* + Mia (grinning): You know, Johanna must be really modest, I haven’t seen any statues of her...

* + Rozetta (laughing): Then you must not really be looking, she had him recreate her battle with Xenia, let me show you...

Rozetta takes Mia to see the statue, but it had fallen over...

* + Rozetta (confused): The hell! It was perfectly fine when I saw it! Who did that to it?!

* + Mia (shocked): Rozetta! Look! Someone was crushed by the statue!

* + Rozetta (shocked): Oh shoot! We need to go and help them!

**You are now playing as Mia Loukas**

## Chapter 1

* Investigate the camp (Body found)

* + Rozetta (shocked): Mia, that man! He’s dead!

* + Rozetta (pissed): There’s a strong base under the statue, holding it in place! There’s no way it fell by itself! Someone pushes it onto him!

* + Rozetta (serious): So it seems to me we are dealing with a murder! We need to find Johanna and tell he-

* + Johanna (happy): Rozetta! There you are! Is it true Mia Loukas had to come to visit! I can’t express how excited I am! I just stormed out of parliament right after hearing thi-

* + Johanna (shocked): And, HOLY SHOOT! What just happened in here?!

* + Rozetta (serious): Johanna! You’re exactly the person who we wanted to speak with!

* Talk to Johanna (1 star; Victim identified: Pygmalion; Pre-request: Investigate the camp)

* + Johanna (happy): Mia, we haven’t heard of you or your friends ever since Galinda was down! It’s really great to see you again, and in person too!

* + Rozetta (thinkinb): I’m sure Mia is glad to see you too, but we’re afraid she and her friends didn’t come here for a friendly visit but for serious matters...

* + Johanna (holding her head): Oh! You mean that whole Orion thing. I’m glad that you have agreed to come and help us out. We’ve been looking for him everywhere but couldn’t find him and the few times our warriors encountered him... Well... You know what happened...

* + Johanna (curious): Anyway, I’m sensing strange energy from the two of you, is there something I need to know?

* + Rozetta (serious): Well, yeah... You see, Mia and her friends didn’t come here alone, they brought Artemis and her huntresses with them!

* + Johanna (blushing): Oh.... That’s cool, I guess...

* + Rozetta (curious): Do you not have a problem with it?

* + Johanna (thinking; smiling): Oh! Not at all! In fact, I think it’s about time we settled our differences and made peace with them. In fact, I’m to start by asking Raquel to sent a basket of gooseberries to them as an offering...

* + Rozetta (curious): I’m glad to hear that. Anyway, about the man over, do you happen to know who he is?

* + Johanna (hand on hips): Of course! That’s Pygmalion the sculptor! Can you tell me how the hell the statue fell over him?!

* + Rozetta (serious): We don’t know, we just came here. But unfortunately, Pygmalion appears to be dead, we believe that someone may have pushed the statue into him!

* + Johanna (covering her face): So we’re dealing with a murder! Great! Is there anyway I could help you?

* + Rozetta (curious): You mentioned you were having a meeting here... Did you notice anyone leaving the parliament? For a minute at least?

* + Johanna (nervous grin): To be honest with you, I wasn’t exactly focusing on the meeting... So... Yeah.. I didn’t see anything. But if you believe any of the members committed this murder, then you have my permission to investigate the parliament...

* + Rozetta (glad): Thank you, Johanna! Mia, lets go!

* Investigate the parliament (Pre-request: Talk to Johanna)

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): The room looks like a total mess, I don’t blame Johanna for being inattentive, it seems like they were talking about A LOT in here...

* + Rozetta (thinking): You think searching that paper pile will lead us to something? If so, then go ahead.

* + Rozetta (curious): That lasso on the hanger... It belongs to a member here, but I forgot who it is... Hm...

* + Rozetta (glad): Oh yes! Now I remember! This lasso belongs to Scholastica! She must’ve left it here before leaving to hunt for Orion!

* + Rozetta (thinking): Scholastica left Xerda at 3:00pm, and the meeting started somewhere around 2 hours later, and assuming the murder took place while all the parliament members were busy debating, I doubt she committed the murder...

* + Rozetta (serious): But we can’t tell for sure! So either way, she’s a suspect and we must speak with her!

* Talk to Scholastica (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the parliament)

* + Scholastica (pissed): Princess Rozetta, do you know when our alliance with Artemis will be announced? I’m getting sick of the other Xerdans bugging me over bringing the huntresses over! If one more person confronts me, I swea-

* + Rozetta (sweating): We are going to make an announcement, don’t worry... But I’m afraid any public event will be delayed as we are dealing with a murder at the moment...

* + Scholastica (shocked): A murder?! Did the huntresses betray us already?!

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): Actually, we don’t believe the murder was committed by our newcomers. It was Pygmalion who was murdered...

* + Scholastica (pissed): That dirty old man?! Oh! Good riddance!

* + Rozetta (blushing): You don’t seem fond of the sculptor, did something happen between you?

* + Scholastica (angry): Oh! Believe me! This man is a creep! A misogynistic creep who lives in his own reality, believing every women wants to be with him!

* + Scholastic (eye rolling): From the moment he saw, he’s been trying to flirt hard with me, and I kept telling him I am NOT interested in him and I do nor want to be someone’s mistress!

* + Scholastica (pissed): But he wouldn’t take no for an answer! The creep even went far into groping me!

* + Scholastica (crossing her arms): But I didn’t kill him if this is what you’re wondering, I disliked him but I wasn’t going to risk trouble just to rid of him...

* Search pile of papers (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the parliament)

* + Rozetta (curious): That’s Joe Warren’s passport here, but... Where is h-

* + Joe (panicking): Oh! Rozetta! It’s a relief to see you here! There’s a dead bod-

* + Joe (shocked): Mia Loukas! What is she doi-

* + Rozetta (serious): Joe! There you are! And yes, we are aware about the body and we need to speak with you!

* Ask Joe if he knew Pygmalion (1 star; Pre-request: Search pile of papers)

* + Joe (blushing): Mia, I had no idea you were coming.. I-is Hasuro with you?

* + Rozetta (thinking): Yes, Hasuro is here but before you meet him, there’s something we want to talk to you about...

* + Joe (sympathetic): It’s about the body... Yes, I have come here to warn the parliament about it... It’s sad Pygmalion had to meet his end, especially shortly after being given a second chance at life...

* + Rozetta (curious): Did you know Pygmalion?

* + Joe (blushing): Yes... But we were simply acquaintances, I only knew him because I hired him to come over my house to make a nude sculpture of myself...

* + Rozetta (grinning): A nude sculpture? I’m sure Hasuro would be thrilled with this, unless he didn’t “get it” already....

* + Joe (awkward grin): Yeah... But unfortunately it’s not done yet, Pygmalion only did the head and the upper torso...

* + Joe (sad): But it seem like it may as well just be complete... I could hire another sculpture to carry on the work, but I don’t think the results would be as good as they would be if done by Pygmalion...

* Autopsy victim’s body (Killer attribute: Killer weighs more than 150 lbs; Killer attribute: Killer eats gooseberries)

* + Hasuro (rehearsing; serious): I think it’s about time I give you an ultimatum! It’s either me or your power! You can’t have both. I am done waiting for you and I hope this’ll be your wakeup call!

* + Hasuro (shocked): Oh! I didn’t realize you two were here!

* + Rozetta (confused): What the hell were you doing anyway, Hasuro?

* + Hasuro (crossing his arms): I’m preparing for a speech I have for Joe...

* + Rozetta (blushing): It doesn’t seem like a really nice one, especially for a boyfriend you haven’t seen for months...

* + Hasuro (pissed): That’s the point! I’m really tired of Joe’s games! He expects me to love him and be loyal to him, yet... He wouldn’t come to Graecita with me? Instead, he chose a political career over me! I’m not just going to sit here and pretend everything is okay! He needs to do something to the relationship if he wants to keep me!

* + Rozetta (covering het face): I think you’re being too hard on Joe, you can’t expect him to give up his passions in the name of love. But I understand long distance relationships aren’t for everybody...

* + Rozetta (curious): Anyway, I’m not here to give you relationship advice. Did you find anything on the body...

* + Hasuro (confident): On the body? No. But I did manage to get clues out of the statue!

* + Hasuro (innocent smirk): First, for someone to be able to push it, they need a lot of weight. I saw at 150 pounds!

* + Hasuro (grinning): Next, I looked at the statue and I found some juice, which turned out to be from gooseberries, which Joe raved a lot about but I didn’t really like the taste...

* + Rozetta (glad): Thank you, Hasuro! Mia, lets write that down on the killer profile!

Outside the parliament...

* + Rozetta (blushing): We’ve only been a couple of minutes into our investigation and one of our suspects already admitted to not liking the victim, which is quite rare so... Kudos to Scholastica for being honest...

* + Rozetta (thinking): So far we know that the killer weighs over 150 pounds. Both Joe and Scholastica match that unfortunately, but luckily Johanna doesn’t but Hasuro’s value could just be an approximation...

* + Rozetta (holding her head): She does fit another clue though: The killer liking gooseberries and sadly Hasuro did reveal Joe likes to eat those too...

* + Rozetta (thinking): If I’m being honest, I don’t believe any of our current suspects are responsible to the murder b-

* + Quail (holding a bottle): Tweet! Tweet!

The quail drops the bottle at Rozetta’s head...

* + Rozetta (holding her head): Hey! You-

* + Rozetta (pissed): Ugh... What did it drop anyway...

* + Rozetta (shocked): A bottle! And look! There’s a letter inside!

## Chapter 2

* + Rozetta (blushing): We’ve only been a couple of minutes into our investigation and one of our suspects already admitted to not liking the victim, which is quite rare so... Kudos to Scholastica for being honest...

* + Rozetta (thinking): So far we know that the killer weighs over 150 pounds. Both Joe and Scholastica match that unfortunately, but luckily Johanna doesn’t but Hasuro’s value could just be an approximation...

* + Rozetta (holding her head): She does fit another clue though: The killer liking gooseberries and sadly Hasuro did reveal Joe likes to eat those too...

* + Rozetta (thinking): If I’m being honest, I don’t believe any of our current suspects are responsible to the murder b-

* + Quail (holding a bottle): Tweet! Tweet!

The quail drops the bottle at Rozetta’s head...

* + Rozetta (holding her head): Hey! You-

* + Rozetta (pissed): Ugh... What did it drop anyway...

* + Rozetta (shocked): A bottle! And look! There’s a letter inside!

* + Rozetta (getting the letter out): I wonder what’s written on i-

But before she could read it, Ginny shows up..

* + Ginny (panicking): DON’T READ I-

* + Ginny (sweating): I meant to say... A-are you okay... I-I saw the quail throw this bottle on your head...

* + Rozetta (curious): Yeah, I’m fine. Were you expecting this letter?

* + Ginny (blushing): Y-yes... Did you read it?

* + Rozetta (laughing): I was about to but you didn’t give me a chance to do so...

* + Ginny (awkward grin): Good... C-can I have it?

* + Rozetta (curious): Of course! Who is it from anyway?

* + Ginny (blushing): It’s a bit personal... What are you doing here anyway, you seem busy?

* + Rozetta (covering his face): Yeah... A man was murdered here, someone pushed a statue onto him. His name’s Pygmalion...

* + Ginny (shocked): Pygmalion?!

* + Rozetta (confused): You know that man? But how?! He was already dead when you and your hunting partners came to the city!

* + Ginny (blushing): I don’t know who that man is, it’s just... While I was passing the streets, I noticed a store called “Εργαστήρι Πυγμαλίων”, which translates to “Pygmalion’s Workshop” in Greek...

* + Rozetta (shocked): A workshop? Our victim was a sculptor! That must be his shop! Do you remember where you spotted it?

* + Ginny (thinking): I believe it was just across that street over there!

* + Rozetta (glad): Thanks a lot, miss! Mia, I believe the victim’s workshop will be worth a look! Lets go!

* Investigate the victim’s store

* + Rozetta (thinking): This paper sheet seems to carry the notes for some particular song-

* + Rozetta (shocked): You’re right! There’s something written on it, “Pygmalion, I don’t want to do this but please reconsider your decision or I’ll have no choice but to kill you, it’s either you or me”....

* + Rozetta (serious): This must be a threat from our killer. We’ve got to send it to Yoyo, maybe she’ll find someone about our killer from readin-

Rozetta senses someone’s presence and draws her sword...

* + Rozetta (drawing her sword; pissed): Who’s here?! Show yourself!

* + Galatea (shocked; holding a jug): Oh my! I hope I’m not in any trouble! I’m only bringing some gooseberry juice to my home!

* + Rozetta (sweating): Sorry, we thought tha-

* + Rozetta (covering her face): Wait? Your home?! Shit... You must be Pygmalion’s wife... We need to talk to you...

* Inform Galatea of her husband’s death (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the victim’s store)

* + Galatea (thinking): If you are here for my husband’s services. Unfortunately he isn’t here. Now if you mind, I have to go upstairs, my daughter is awaiting me for her harp practice...

* + Rozetta (covering her face): Galatea, we are not here for your husband. I mean... we are but not for his services...

* + Galatea (concerned): Why are you giving this grave face? Did something happen to my dear Pygmalion?

* + Rozetta (sympathetic): Galatea, your husband is dead!

* + Galatea (shocked): Dead?! How is that possible! He looked completely healthy last I saw him!

* + Rozetta (serious): Your husband didn’t die from natural causes! Someone murdered him!

* + Galatea (pissed): MURDERED?! And who is the bastard that dared lay a hand on him! I’d like to give them some talk!

* + Rozetta (sweating): Galatea, I know what’s your mind, but please let us handle this. We don’t know who killed your husband, but once we figure it out we’ll let you know...

* + Rozetta (curious): You mentioned that you too had a daughter?

* + Galatea (sad): Ah! Yes... My poor Paphos, I don’t know how she’ll take the news. Would you mind breaking it to her? I’m an old woman and I don’t think I have the heart to do it myself...

* Break the news to Paphos (1 star; Pre-request: Inform Galatea of her husband’s death)

* + Paphos (eye rolling): Mother! Are you done juicing the gooseberries?! I’m thirstyyy!

* + Galatea (sympathetic): Yes dear... But these two ladies have come to visit us and they have some news to tell you...

* + Paphos (hand on hips): Who are you?! And what do you want from me?

* + Rozetta (serious): Paphos, we have some news to you. Concerning your father!

* + Paphos (eye rolling): Oh great? What trouble did the old man get in?

* + Rozetta (covering her face): Your father, he was murdered?!

* + Paphos (shocked): Daddy’s dead?! This can’t be possible! You have to be pulling my legs!

* + Rozetta (holding her head): Unfortunately Paphos, we’re telling you the truth. We found him outside the parliament. Someone pushed one of his own statues over him...

* + Paphos (crying): No! This can’t be real! Daddy can’t be dead!

* + Rozetta (sympathetic): We apologize for being the ones to break the news to you. And we understand you must be pretty sad, but do you know anyone who could possibly murder your fathef?

* + Paphos (tearful): No, I don’t... My father never confided in me, he didn’t trust me or like me much because he was hoping I would have been a boy...

* + Paphos (pissed): But regardless of what he thought of me, I still loved him as my father! And I swear once I learn who killed him, they better run before I cast a curse on them!

* Send the sheet to Yoyo (Killer attribute: Killer plays the harp)

* + Yoyo (confident): Rozetta, Mia, first I cam confirm that the threat was written by the killer! I sent it to Hasuro and he found gooseberry stains on them!

* + Yoyo (sympathetic): About the writing.. I couldn’t learn anything about the killer’s personality, except that they felt like they were forced to kill the victim not because of bitter feelings they had toward him and probably regrets committing the murder...

* + Rozetta (serious): Whether they regret it or not, they still committed a crime and must be held accountable...

* + Yoyo (covering her face): You’re right... Anyway...

* + Yoyo (smiling): As I said, I couldn’t tell much from the writing. HOWEVER, the sheet itself says something about the killer!

* + Yoyo (innocent smirk): The notes in the sheet are for an instrument called a harp, so through it we know that-

* + Rozetta (happy): The killer plays the harp! Good job, Yoyo! Mia, lets add this to the killer profile!

Later...

* + Rozetta (thinking): Mia, speaking of harps... Didn’t Galatea mention her and her daughter practicing the harp?

* + Rozetta (serious): Anyway, I think we should give the parliament another look!

* Investigate the meeting room

* + Rozetta (thinking): Look! There’s a box! I wonder what’s inside it...

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): Ugh... It’s locked. Seems like we need to open it first... Did you find anything else in the meantime?

* + Rozetta (shocked): Is that a poster protesting against Johanna? But what could anyone possibly have against her?

* + Rozetta (serious): Look, the name of the artist behind the poster is written here: Pygmalion. I didn’t know he had issues with Johanna, we need to talk with her about it!

* Ask Johanna what Pygmalion has against her (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the meeting room)

* + Rozetta (blushing): Johanna, we found this poster Pygmalion made against you and we were wondering if you knew about his disapproval of your leadership...

* + Johanna (crossing her arms): Yes, I did... And I reached out to him to see what he’s unsatisfied about in my rule, hoping I could improve my leadership, but his answer... Was disappointing...

* + Rozetta (curious): What did he say to you!

* + Johanna (pissed): He told me that women have no place in politics and that Xerda needs a strong man to rule it not some “weak” queens!

* + Rozetta (shocked): He actually said that!

* + Johanna (disgusted): Yes! Can you believe it? I didn’t protest for men’s rights to hear such nonsense from people like him! I was absolutely disgusted, and I couldn’t do anything about what he said as it goes against what I preached all these years!

* + Rozetta (covering her face): Johanna, what Pygmalion said is unacceptable, but I hope for the love of gods you didn’t kill him over this...

* + Johanna (offended): Of course I didn’t! I’m not like Xenia or your mother, I would have never killed him over such a petty thing!

* Unlock box (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the meeting room)

* + Rozetta (disgusted): That clay sculpture, is this... Is this supposed to be a pe-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...

* + Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!

* + Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....

* + Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Rozetta...

* + Rozetta (disgusted): -is?!

* + Rozetta (blushing): There’s a note inside. “Joe, this is how a real man looks!”, and it’s signed by Pygmalion...

* + Rozetta (confused): But why did we sent this to Joe?! What is it supposed to mean? We should ask Joe!

* Ask Joe about the victim’s “gift” (1 star; Pre-request: Unlock box)

* + Joe (worried): Do either of you know if I did anything wrong? I went to talk to Hasuro, to play him a song I wrote for him with a harp but it seems like he’s trying to avoid me. I don’t know why, but it’s really worrying me...

* + Rozetta (blushing): Joe, I don’t think we’re the best people to yell you this.. If you are feeling like your relationship with Hasuro is somehow tearing apart, it’s better to wait until Hasuro comes and tells you the problem itself...

* + Joe (holding his head): I suppose that you have a point, I just wish he tells me soon before he has to go back to Graecita... Anyway, why did you come to see me?

* + Rozetta (thinking): We came to see you because we found the little “gift” Pygmalion had sent for you...

* + Joe (crossing his arms): Ugh... Please get this off my face, you don’t believe the embarrassment I felt when I receives this and opened the box right at parliament!

* + Rozetta (blushing): I don’t get what this gift is supposed to symbolize... I’ve seen you at the beach wearing speedos and you weren’t small, so was he was mocking your size or-

* + Joe (holding his head): Thankfully, no, but it was still mortifying and played a toll on my self-esteem issues...

* + Joe (crossing his arms): My mother may have been a pagan, but she still raised me under Jewish values and so like every semite kid, I was circumcised...

* + Joe (holding his head): It was something I was always pissed at her for because back at high school, whenever I went to the shower room, my Christian and Atheist schoolmates would make fun of my d-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...

* + Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!

* + Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....

* + Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Joe...

* + Joe (holding his head): -k owing to my lack of a foreskin...

* + Joe (blushing): Eventually, I did grow into my circumcision as I grew older but while I was having my figure sculpted by Pygmalion, he asks me to show my charm...

* + Joe (pissed): But when I pulled down my toga, he laughed at me and then he sent me this insulting gift during a meeting and every in the parliament started laughing at me!

* + Rozetta (covering): Joe, I can’t imagine being in such a humiliating spot, but I hope you didn’t kill Pygmalion for triggering your high school memories...

Outside Pygmalion’s workshop...

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): We are barely done with the investigation, but it seems to me we are also seeing our victim’s colors...

* + Rozetta (disgusted): Scholastica did warn us about the victim’s misogny, but still... What he said to Johanna was so shocking and disgusting!

* + Rozetta (covering her face): And Joe too... I’m not a man so I don’t know anything about the topic he was discussing, but he didn’t deserve to be made fun of for something he couldn’t control... A choice he didn’t even get to make or consent to...

* + Rozetta (eye rolling): So far the only people who have nice things to say about Pygmalion is his family, but even his daughter admitted of having a rocky relationship with her because he was hoping she’d be a bo-

* + Joe (holding his head): Hasuro, if you seriously have a problem with this whole long-distance thing, you could always stay in Xerda, I’d be more than happy having you around...

* + Hasuro (shocked): And leave my friends behind?! You can’t expect me to do this!

* + Joe (eye rolling): You can’t expect me to leave my job and passion behind as well!

* + Hasuro (pissed): This is different! You could always be a politician in Graecita! But unless my friends moved to Xerda too, I can’t see them again!

* + Joe (covering his face): Hasuro, becoming a politician isn’t as easy as it looks...

* + Hasuro (angry): You could at least try! If you truly loved me, you would be agreeing to come to Graecita with me by now!

## Chapter 3

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): We are barely done with the investigation, but it seems to me we are also seeing our victim’s colors...

* + Rozetta (disgusted): Scholastica did warn us about the victim’s misogny, but still... What he said to Johanna was so shocking and disgusting!

* + Rozetta (covering her face): And Joe too... I’m not a man so I don’t know anything about the topic he was discussing, but he didn’t deserve to be made fun of for something he couldn’t control... A choice he didn’t even get to make or consent to...

* + Rozetta (eye rolling): So far the only people who have nice things to say about Pygmalion is his family, but even his daughter admitted of having a rocky relationship with her because he was hoping she’d be a bo-

* + Joe (holding his head): Hasuro, if you seriously have a problem with this whole long-distance thing, you could always stay in Xerda, I’d be more than happy having you around...

* + Hasuro (shocked): And leave my friends behind?! You can’t expect me to do this!

* + Joe (eye rolling): You can’t expect me to leave my job and passion behind as well!

* + Hasuro (pissed): This is different! You could always be a politician in Graecita! But unless my friends moved to Xerda too, I can’t see them again!

* + Joe (covering his face): Hasuro, becoming a politician isn’t as easy as it looks...

* + Hasuro (angry): You could at least try! If you truly loved me, you would be agreeing to come to Graecita with me by now!

* + Rozetta (blushing): Guys... What is happening...

* + Joe (holding his head): Nothing... It’s just... Hasuro wants me to go yo Graecita and I’m trying to tell him its impossible!

* + Hasuro (furious): NOTHING?! So you’re saying that our relationship problems are “nothing” to you?!

* + Joe (sweating): Hasuro, this is no-

* + Hasuro (pissed): You know Joe... I didn’t want to do this, but it’s about time you get a wakeup call! If you want power, then FINE! But you can’t have me too!

* + Joe (shocked): Are you breaking up with me?!

* + Hasuro (hand on hips): No, I’m giving you an ultimatum! It’s either me or your career! You can’t keep a long-distance relationship and expect me to remain faithful to you, especially when I had to turn down many men in Graecita because of you!

* + Hasuro (crossing his arms): You either come with me or we’re through! I hope you make your decision wisely...

* + Joe (covering his face): Hasuro! Wait! *Sigh*

* + Rozetta (sympathetic): Joe, are you alright?

* + Joe (sad): Yes- Actually, no.... I think... I think I need a drink...

* + Rozetta (covering his face): I feel bad for Joe, but honestly... I don’t blame Hasuro for acting that way, I would’ve done the same if I were his place...

* + Rozetta (serious): Seeing that we’re at the victim’s workshop, why don’t we give the store another look?

* Investigate the workshop

* + Rozetta (confused): Mia, these ivory chunks look like they used to be one of the victim’s statues, but why did he have it destroyed?

* + Rozetta (serious): I think we should piece together the statue and see who it was supposed to resemble! What else did you find?

* + Rozetta (thinking): This is a sketch of an... odd looking sculpture, doesn’t look like one of the victim’s work...

* + Rozetta (curious): It seems like there was something written over the sketch, but I can’t quite see it. Do you mind recovering it?

* Recover faded comments (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the workshop)

* + Rozetta (thinking): The sketch appears to be made by Paphos and look... Pygmalion wrote a message to her...

* + Rozetta: “Paphos, quit using your imagination and get realistic”...

* + Rozetta (serious): It seems like the victim wasn’t a fan of his daughter’s sketch, we need to speak with her about it!

* Talk to Paphos about her sketch (1 star; Pre-request: Recover faded sketch)

* + Rozetta (serious): Paphos, we were just done searching your father’s workshop and we found that sketch on his table!

* + Paphos (innocent smirk): Oh! I’ve been looking for that everywhere! What do you think of my sculpture?

* + Rozetta (blushing): It is indeed... something... something unique....

* + Paphos (hand on hip): That was the whole point of it, I’m glad at least SOMEONE appreciates my artistry!

* + Rozetta (thinking): About that, it seems like your father wasn’t a fan of your work...

* + Paphos (eye rolling): Yeah! He expects me to be like him and make sculptures of people and real-life stuff. You know? The BORING stuff!

* + Paphos (pissed): But that’s not me! I want to be a sculpture like daddy, but not like every other one, I want to introduce my creativity into my work! I’m an ARTIST!

* + Rozetta (curious): You seem to be offended by his comment. Perhaps enough to kill?

* + Paphos (eye rolling): Don’t be foolish! Yes, my father may not have liked my art, but I still needed his help to study sculpturing! I haven’t mastered the art yet!

* Restore broken statue (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the workshop)

* + Rozetta (confused): This is a statue of a woman... But why does she look so familiar?

* + Rozetta (serious): You recognize her too? Then it must be someone we met! Lets put her under the database to uncover her identity!

* Identify sculpted woman (1 star; Pre-request: Restore broken statue)

* + Rozetta (shocked): The woman who the victim sculpted! It’s Scholastica!

* + Rozetta (confused): But didn’t she say the victim was a creep? Why would she go ahead and model nude for him?!

* + Rozetta (serious): We ought to ask het about this!

* Confront Scholastica for modeling for the victim (1 star; Pre-request: Identify sculpted woman)

* + Rozetta (confused): Scholastica, last time we talked with you, you claimed that the victim was giving you unwanted advances, yet you willingly modeled nude for him?

* + Scholastica (pissed): I did consent to being sculpted, but believe me I did so against my own will! I only agreed to that so that he would leave me alone!

* + Scholastica (eye rolling): Pygmalion advances were really starting to annoy you so I confronted, and he agreed to stop pestering me if I did him a favor...

* + Scholastica (crossing her arms): He told me that he wanted to make a gift for his wife and that I looked a lot like her back when she was “young and beautiful”, so he asked me to model for a sculpture of her...

* + Rozetta (confused): If he wanted a gift for his wife, couldn’t he just ask HER to model for him? Why does the statue have to look young?

* + Scholastica (eye rolling): That’s exactly what she thought so too! When she saw me modeling for her husband and he showed her the unfinished statue, claiming its a gift from him to her. She went furious and broke the statue in front of his eyes!

* + Rozetta (sweating): She must have been really mad but who blames her? However, we still need to question her about this...

* Ask Galatea what she thought of the statue (1 star; Pre-request: Confront Scholastica for modeling for the victim)

* + Rozetta (thinking): Galatea, we found that statue your husband made as a gift for you and according to Scholastica, you didn’t like it and ended up breaking it...

* + Galatea (pissed): I admit that I may have overreacted a little, but to be frank, I don’t regret demolishing it at all!

* + Galatea (sad): My husband knew how much the idea of aging terrified me, yet he thought the best gift for me is a sculpture of my younger self to remind me if how beautiful I USED TO BE!

* + Galatea (angry): If he truly loved me and cared for my happiness! He could have used ME as a model, not some whore who resembled me!

* + Galatea (sad): You don’t know how much I wanted to be a subject for my husband’s work... I wishes for him to make me his muse, but he sculpted every beautiful woman he saw, even our own daughter but never me!

Later...

* + Rozetta (sympathetic): The more we go into our investigation, the less I’m started to like the victim. I really feel bad for Galatea, having to deal with a man like him...

* + Rozetta (serious): I believe we should give the camp one more look before closing down the investigation!

* Investigate the arena

* + Rozetta (serious): Mia, this must be the victim’s chisel but it’s covered with blood! Since Maverick’s the weapon expert, we have to send it to him!

* + Rozetta (weirded out): And- what is that?!

* + Rozetta (serious): Whatever it is, it’s covered with blood so we’ve got to send it to Hasuro!

* Send chisel to Maverick (Killer attribute: Killer sports a bruise)

* + Maverick (crossing his arms): You know that I am a WEAPONS expert, and as a weapon expert I’m supposed to look at WEAPONS! So I have no idea why you had me analyze this when it wasn’t even used to kill the victim! You know you have Hasuro for this?

* + Rozetta (innocent smirk): We know, but Mia told me you didn’t do much work in the previous two murder investigations you had this day so she thought it would be a good idea to give you some of Hasuro’s work...

* + Maverick (eye rolling): Awwww how sweetttt! FUCK YOU!

* + Maverick (crossing his arms): Anyway, I looked at the chisel as you wanted me and yes yes, the blood was the victim’s, but I also found something else...

* + Maverick (glad): I found some arnica pollen which Yoyo says is a plant commonly used to cure bruises and since there were none on the victim’s body, we believe the killer most be sporting a bruise!

* + Rozetta (serious): Well, the killer will be worrying over more than a bruise once they know we’re on this track!

* Send papyrus to Hasuro (Killer attribute: Killer is female)

* + Rozetta (curious): Hasuro... How are you feeling?

* + Hasuro (crossing his arms): I’m fine, why? Should I feel otherwise?

* + Rozetta (covering her face): No... It’s just... You know.. About your fight with Joe, we thought you may feel a little down...

* + Hasuro (holding his head): I don’t want to talk about it... I’m just glad that we at least know there’s no way Joe killed the victim...

* + Rozetta (curious): What makes you so confident about this?

* + Hasuro (grinning): Because the thing you sent me is softened papyrus, a material commonly used by people on their periods back at Ancient time...

* + Rozetta (disgusted): Do you mean to tell m-

* + Hasuro (laughing): Oh no! Don’t worry, there was no period blood on it! All just the victim’s blood!

* + Rozetta (relieved): Good... At least now we know that our victim’s a female and last time we checked, Joe was all man...

Later...

* + Rozetta (confident): Mia, I believe that that we have enough evidence to identify our killer! Lets fo make an arrest!

* Arrest killer (Killer arrested: Galatea)

* + Rozetta (serious): Galatea, you’re probably the last person I expected to be the killer in this case! You are under arrest for the murder of Pygmalion

* + Galatea (shocked): ME?! How could accuse an old woman like me of murdering her husband! I would never hurt my dear Pygmalion!

* + Rozetta (crossing her arms): Then can you explain why we found softened papyrus near his body? And arnica pollen to treat bruises on his chisele?

* + Galatea (blushing): The city is majorly populated by women who enjoy participated in fights, it could be anyone of them!

* + Rozetta (serious): But none of them left traces of gooseberries when pushing a statue onto your husband!

* + Galatea (shocked): You can’t prove it was from me! I’d never crush my husband with his sculptures, I loved him!

* + Rozetta (sympathetic): We know you do, and we know that there’s something that made you feel forced to kill him, we found your note. Please make it easy for yourself and just tell us. Why did you kill your husband?

* + Galatea (crying): ....

* + Galatea (wiping tears): I guess there is no going back. I killed Pygmalion, but he didn’t give me any choice! I had to do it before he does it first! I didn’t want him to take away my humanity!

* + Rozetta (confused): Take away your humanity? What do you mean? Is there something we don’t know about you?

* + Galatea (sad): The truth is, I am not a real woman. I am nothing but an impersonation of what my husband considered the ideal woman. At least, until I got old...

* + Galatea (crossing her arms): Before Pygmalion and I got married, he always considered woman as “flawed” creatures, so instead of finding a wife like every regular man would, he decided to create one!

* + Rozetta (shocked): Are you trying to say Pygmalion INVENTED YOU!

* + Galatea (serious): Yes, I used to be one of his statues, but unlike his other statues, he created me using his imagination, what he considered his dream woman! He then went to a festival and gave offerings to Aphrodite where she rewarded him by giving him the ability to bring me to life with a kiss!

* + Galatea (affectionate): Everything was perfect at first! Pygmalion was obsessed with me and my beauty. And he was an excellent lover!

* + Galatea (sad): But then I had to go through a horrible experience every woman had to go through: aging. And the older I got the less he wanted me...

* + Galatea (holding her head): As I was reaching the age of 50, every love he had for me was gone. Our marriage was falling apart and I had Paphos to save it, she was the only thing keeping us together...

* + Galatea (sad): But then at the age of 22, she fell ill and it didn’t take long for her to die. Pygmalion then started distancing himself from me, he couldn’t handle looking at me. He wasn’t even by my side when I died myself...

* + Galatea (smiling): Eventually, the gods decided to bring us back to life, centuries later and I saw that as a second chance for Pygmalion and I to rekindle our romance...

* + Galatea (covering her face): But everything went downhill when we came to Xerda, and he started flirting with Scholastica....

* + Galatea (crossing her arms): I was mad, but at that point a woman does not care anymore, I was just glad to be alive with my little girl and I allowed my husband to chase any girl that caught his eye...

* + Galatea (shocked): But then I caught my husband making a sculpture of Scholastica!

* + Galatea (furious): Pygmalion claimed he was making a gift for me, but I knew better! Scholastica must have turned him down and instead he decided to create a statue resembling my younger self, bring it back to life and turn me back to an ivory statue for life!

* + Galatea (panicking): I loved my husband but I valued life more! I couldn’t let him turn me back to what I was! A lifeless statue! So I came up to him while he was making the finishing details of one of his statues and when he turned his back, I crushed him!

* + Rozetta (holding her head): Galatea, we understand why you were frustrated, but there was bo need to kill Pygmalion, you could’ve reported him with your suspicions! Now we have no choice but to take you to the queen!

At the palace...

* + Rozetta (serious): Johanna, we found Pygmalion’s killer!

* + Johanna (shocked): But isn’t that his wife?! Why would you kill your husband?

* + Galatea (panicking): Your highness! I swear that I didn’t want to do it, but Pygmalion didn’t leave me a choice!

* + Rozetta (serious): She’s telling the truth, Galatea was one of Pygmalion’s statues before being brought to life! The sculptor was planning to replace her with a younger version of herself and turn her back to ivory!

* + Johanna (holding her head): Galatea, your case is indeed very sad and understanding... But unfortunately, I can’t pardon you. Murder is murder and if I let you go, it’ll set a bad image of our city, which we do not wish for, especially with a goddess in our land at the moment...

* + Johanna (serious): But instead of imprisoning you, I’ll have yo banish you from the city. I’m sorry, but this is the best I could do!

* + Galatea (sad): Thank you for showing mercy to me, your highness. I’ll go back to my husband’s workshop and tell my daughter to pack her things so we could leav-

* + Raquel (yelling): Your highness!

* + Johanna (curious): Raquel? What brings you here?

* + Raquel (shocked): Outside! At the lake! New visitors have arrived!

## The Hunt For Orion (5/6)

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view**

After Raquel had announced that new visitors had come to Xerda, Mia and Rozetta rushed to see who it was...

* + Artemis (dizzy): Uh....

* + Huntresses (Huntress 3; happy): Lady Artemis! You’re awake!

* + Artemis (rubbing her eyes): What am I doing here? Shouldn’t we be heading to Xerd-

* + Artemis (shocked): Xerda! Please tell me this is a nightmare! Th-

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; innocent smirk): The men?! Oh! Don’t worry, they’re still here!

* + Artemis (holding her head): Ugh... I didn’t expect the city to stoop that low... I think I’m going to faint again...

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Chase; crossing his arms): Oh! I believe I could help you with that... Someone please pass me something blun-

* + Rozetta and Mia (Mia; shocked): Guys! Is it true?! There’s new visitors in the city?!

* + Zachary and Natalie (Zachary; happy; messing with Natalie’s hair): It’s true! And one of them came to talk with you!

* + Rozetta and Mia (Mia; happy): Natalie! You’re here!

* + Ekho (happy): Here!

* + Rozetta and Mia (Mia; shocked): And Ekho too- Wait! You exactly brought all the nymphs with you!

* + Zachary and Natalie (Natalie; awkward grin): Yes, it wasn’t simple to convince, especially Rubarae, but I managed to talk some sense into and I brought as much as I could...

* + Rubarae (serious): I only agreed to come because that giant is attacking some of our own girls and we want to put an end to this?

* + Xerdans (pissed): And how exactly would you do this?! You’re nymphs! The only think you are good at is gardening and taking cate of your looks!

* + Nymphs (Twiggy; angry): Excuse me?! We are much more than that? We can kill you all if we want!

* + Huntresses (Huntress 2; sarcastic): Ooooo How scary! Seriously, who invited them?!

* + Xerdans (serious): We could ask the same things about you!

* + Huntresses (Huntress 1; angry): Excuse me?! We are here to help you, yo-

* + Johanna (furious): ENOUGH!

* + Johanna (serious): Xerdans, I understand that most of you disapprove of this alliance, however we are dealing with serious matters and we need as much backup!

* + Johanna (forced smile): The nymphs and the huntresses are guests here and we must treat them with respect, starting from now!

* + Nymphs (Clementine; hair flip): Yeah! Listen to your queen, you whores!

* + Mia (covering her face): *sigh* This alliance isn’t going to work out, is it?

* + Natalie (smiling): It’s possible, however we shouldn’t think negatively, we should always expect the best outcome!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; yawning): Sounds cliché... But whatever...

* + Madelina (happy): OMG! I’m SUCH a genius!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; confused): Is this meant to be sarcastic?

* + Madelina (eye rolling): Shut up, Maverick. Natalie, come with me!

* + Natalie (shocked): Where do you want to take me?

* + Madelina (confident): I think I have an idea on how to make the three groups get along!

* + Natalie (happy): That’s great!

Madelina and Natalie then head away from the crowd...

* + Yoyo (curious): I wonder what she is up to?

* + Mia (crossing her arms): I don’t know... But they’re heading to Pygmalion’s workshop, I think I should follow them!

* + Yoyo (serious): Yeah, but before you do that, Ophelia wants to see us!

* + Mia (confused): For what?

* + Yoyo (eye rolling): She didn’t say, but I think I know who she is about to talk about.. Ugh...

**You are now playing as Mia Loukas**

* See what Ophelia wants (1 star)

* + Ophelia (curious): Yoyo, did you bring Mia?

* + Yoyo (crossing her arms): She’s here. Now tell us what you want.

* + Ophelia (serious): It’s about Ginny...

* + Yoyo (covering her face): Here we go again...

* + Ophelia (worried): It’s been one and a half hour since we came to the city and I haven’t seen any signs of her. I’m feeling worried, I suspect that either she’s up to something or worse, something happenes to he-

* + Yoyo (pissed): Ok Ophelia, I’ve heard enough!

* + Ophelia (shocked): What do you m-

* + Yoyo (holding her head): Ophelia, look, don’t get me wrong. I understand that you are a victim of sexual assault and you want the best for Ginny...

* + Yoyo (serious): But you’re not helping her out by any means! In fact, you’re contributing into her trauma by forcing to do things she doesn’t want! Can’t you see how the more you spoke to her, the less cheerful she seems?

* + Ophelia (covering her face): *sigh* You’re right... Maybe I should just let this g-

* + Ophelia (shocked): Wait, Mia?! You say that you saw Ginny? And she was receiving letters from someone?! Who were they?! What’s on them?!

* + Ophelia (confused): She didn’t let your or Rozetta read them, but why? I sense suspicious going on! We have to go to the camp!

* + Yoyo (crossing her arms): Ophelia did you even listen to what I sai- You know what?! Fine, but I want no involvement to whatever you and Mia are doing...

Ophelia and Mia head to the camp, while Yoyo walks away from them...

* Investigate the camp (Pre-request: See what Ophelia wants)

* + Ophelia (curious): Mia, did you find the letter Ginny had receive-

* + Quail (holding a letter): TWEET! TWEET!

* + Ophelia (startled): Ah! How did a live bird end up here?!

* + Ophelia (serious): You’re saying that quail was delivering the letters to Ginny? And look! It’s holding a bottle in its claws and there’s a letter inside it!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Hey birdie... Would you mind giving us tha-

* + Quail (scowling): TWEET! TWEET!

* + Ophelia (startled): Ah!!!

The quail drops the bottle and it shatters...

* + Ophelia (sweating): At least we got the letter... Lets see what’s on i-

* + Ophelia (pissed): You’ve got to be kidding me! It’s faded! Great! Now we have to recover whatever is written...

* Recover faded letter (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the camp)

* + Ophelia (confused): Ok, so the letter is for Ginny, “Renée” is her real name, and it’s from someone called.... “Le Chasseur”?!

* + Ophelia (covering her face): Fuck... The letter’s written in French, now how are we going to know what it says?

* + Ophelia (sweating): Stop! I don’t mean for this to sound stereotypical and it’s likely she simply thought the name is pretty, but.... For her mortal alias, Rozetta of Xerda just the surname “Pierre”, which I believe is French, so do you think that maybe... She understands French?

* + Ophelia (serious): There’s only one way to find out! Lets ask her!

* Have Rozetta translate the letter (1 star; Pre-request: Recover faded letter)

* + Rozetta (shocked): Mia, that girl we met during Pygmalion’s murder investigation, the one with the space buns and eye glitter? Is that Renée?!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Yes, that’s her... You don’t seem really pleased... Is something wrong with the letter?!

* + Rozetta (pissed): More than you think! “Le Chasseur” is French for “The Hunter”, an alias for Orion! And what you sent me to read is a love letter!

* + Ophelia (shocked): A LOVE LETTER?! Ginny has been receiving love letters from ORION?!

* + Ophelia (holding her head): Oh my god... He must be trying to lure her into him...

* + Ophelia (serious): We need to go talk to her before she does anything foolish!

* Confront Ginny (1 star; Pre-request: Have Rozetta translate the letter)

* + Ginny (smiling; trying on a tiara): Ophelia! I’vs been thinking about buying myself a new headdress, does this tiara look good on m-

* + Ophelia (concerned): Ginny... Can we talk?

* + Ginny (blushing): Sure... You sound serious... Is something wrong?

* + Ophelia (covering her face): We’ve read your letter-

* + Ginny (furious): You did what?! I thought I told Mia that these are personal!

* + Ophelia (pissed): If the person you’ve been receiving the letters from is Orion, we have every right to know?! How long was this going on?!

* + Ginny (crossing her arms): You remember when I told you my story? You remember the mysterious man who killed Geoffrey, freeing me and the other girls under his roof?

* + Ginny (serious): I lied about not knowing who he was. I mean... I didn’t at the time, but I saw him again a few weeks ago and he revealed his identity to me, and guess who it was?

* + Ophelia (covering her face): Oh no....

* + Ginny (pissed): It was Orion! He’s the one who saved me! I owe my whole life to him!

* + Ophelia (pissed): Ginny! He didn’t save you! Orion is no hero! He was doing all this to groom you and lead you to death trap! He’s no better than Weinstein!

* + Ginny (furious): Don’t compare him to Orion! You don’t know him! No one here knows him except for me! He cares about me and is the only person who believes in me!

* + Ophelia (holding her head): Ginny, please... listen to me...

* + Ginny (angry): NO! I’m done listening to you, Ophelia! You may think yourself helpful, but you aren’t! I was doing perfectly fine until you came and pressured me into talking about my past! I don’t want to talk to you ever again!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Ginny, WAIT!

* + Ophelia (sad): So what Yoyo said was true... I should’ve just listened to her and avoided Ginny. *sigh* Lets go back to our friends...

* See what Madelina’s up to (1 star)

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view**

* + Mia (serious): Alright! What are you two up to?!

* + Natalie (startled): Ah!

* + Madelina (displeased): What are YOU doing here?! I only asked for Natalie to come!

* + Mia (pissed): I want to know what you are planning to do?!

* + Natalie (awkward grin): Oh hey, Mia! Madelina here was just about to tell me her plans to bring the Xerdans, nymphs and huntresses together. Can you continue, Madelina?

* + Madelina (smiling): Of course! You see back when I was in elementary school, my class was VERY naughty and people would constantly fight with each other!

* + Madelina (innocent smirk): So you know what the teachers did whenever a fight would break out? They would force us to write nice things about each other and put it into a bowl, where they would shuffle it and read the notes aloud in the class!

* + Madelina (innocent grin): I mean yeah... It does sound childish, but it worked and I adapted it into my friend group in middle school and high school whenever my girlfriends get into arguments...

* + Madelina (excited): So I thought maybe we could hold a public event like that between the squads and then they could all be friends!

* + Mia (eye rolling): And you actually think THIS will work?!

* + Madelina (confused): Why wouldn’t it?

* + Natalie (smiling): Madelina, I think this is a GREAT idea!

* + Madelina (smiling): See? Natalie likes it?!

* + Mia (covering her face): *sigh*

* + Madelina (awkward grin): Anyway, I asked Natalie to meet me here because we need something to carry out this plan: A large container, preferably a bowl and I thought maybe we could find something here? Would it be okay if you two check?

* + Natalie (excited): Of course! Mia, come with me!

* + Mia (eye rolling): Fine, I’ll help... But I have a feeling this’ll backfire...

**You are now playing as Mia Loukas**

* Investigate the workshop (Pre-request: See what Madelina’s up to)

* + Natalie (excited): Mia, I don’t know about you! But I’m really excited for this! Did you a bowl?

* + Natalie (confused): You found a container?! B-but it looks broken, how would it be used?

* + Natalie (happy): Wait?! You think we can fix it?! That’s amazing! Lets do it!

* Restore broken goblet (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the workshop)

* + Natalie (blushing): That’s not a bowl! That’s a goblet... But it does look very big...

* + Natalie (curious): Do you think Madelina would be okay with this? I think we should show her first!

* Show the goblet to Madelina (1 star; Pre-request: Restore broken goblet)

* + Madelina (curious): Did you two find a bowl in there?

* + Natalie (curious): Not exactly... But we found that... Is it good enough?

* + Madelina (smiling): Are you kidding me?! That’s better! It reminds me of the Snap Cup from *Legally Blonde 2*! It’s sooo fetch!

* + Natalie (blushing): Legally what?!

* + Madelina (innocent smirk): Never mind what I said... The point is, it’s exactly what we need!

* + Madelina (confident): Now all what’s left for us is to gather everyone and we could pull off this event!

* + Natalie (happy): Awesome! I’m going to go and call the nymphs! I’ll see you two later!

After confronting Ginny and helping Madelina. The crew gathered at the arena with the huntresses, nymphs and Xerdans...

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; shocked): You’ve got to be kidding me! Ginny and Orion? They were flirting! Did you talk to her about it?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Ophelia; holding her head): Yes... But she didn’t react well, she accused me of trying to trigger her trauma and stormed out of the convo...

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Yoyo; covering her face): I don’t want to tell you Ophelia... But I warned you not to pressure her!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; serious): In her defense, Ginny was speaking with the enemy and did not tell anyone! They had the right confront her. Anyway, do you know why everyone is gathering here....

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; annoyed): Believe me you don’t want to know...

Natalie then approaches the table..

* + Natalie (awkward grin): Mia... Um... You know that this whole event is only meant for the girls... right?

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; curious): What, why?! What is this whole event about anyway?

* + Natalie (shocked): Oh! Haven’t Mia told you? Madelina set up this whole thing to ease the tension between the nymphs, Xerdans and huntresses!

* + Natalie (smiling): Basically, every girl here is given a piece of paper and has to write nice things about another girl. Madelina then collects the notes and puts them in a goblet then reads them aloud!

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Yoyo; excited): That actually sounds fun!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; offended): Fun?! Does she think we’re 12 or something?!

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; yawning): That’s exactly what I thought, but we may as well just give it a chance...

Natalie then gives the girls pieces of paper and goes...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; innocent smirk): Mia... Since you don’t feel like participating in this whole thing, would you mind lending me your paper?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; confused): Sure... What do you need it for?

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; sniggering): Nothing... I just thought I’d like to write some “nice” things about Madelina.. hehe...

Soon, Madelina comes to collect the papers...

* + Madelina (smiling; holding a goblet): Have you girls written anything?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia): Yeah... Here...

* + Madelina (shocked): I thought you said you wanted nothing to do with this thing?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; eye rolling): I changed my mind! Are you going to take my paper or not?

* + Madelina (happy): That’s the spirit! It’s nice to see us women supporting one another!

Madelina takes the notes and then goes to the center of the arena...

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; cringing): This is going to backfire so badly...

* Watch Madelina read the notes (1 star)

* + Madelina (pouting): Most of you must be wondering. “Madelina, why did you bring us all here?” And the reason why, is because Natalie and I noticed the tension all of you had against one another....

* + Madelina (covering her mouth): And as woman, I did not like seeing us acting in such an anti-feminist way! This is not how we should be treating each other! We are women and we should have each others backs no matter what!

* + Madelina (smiling): And you know, because I’m SUCH a skinny legen-

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; laughing): SKINNY?! Oh please! Stop the cap!

* + Nymphs (giggling): Hehehehe...

* + Madelina (pissed): For your information, I weigh only 95 lbs!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; grinning): Yeah, sure... IN YOUR BRA!

* + Xerdans (laughing): Hahahahahahah!!!

* + Madelina (eye rolling): Fine! I weigh 110 lbs but we are not here to discuss my weight...

* + Madelina (smiling): Anyway, as I was saying. I decided that we should all play a game, to bring us closer together...

* + Huntresses (Huntress 2; sweating): Artemis.. Should we get her down the stage? She’s given us serious second-hand embarrassment...

* + Artemis (crossing her arms): We huntresses must be supportive to one another, if Madelina wants to do this then we must show her respect and let her handle this...

* + Madelina (sweet smile; holding a goblet): So Natalie asked you all to write good things about each other and put it into this. Now, I’m going to randomly pick a note from here and read it aloud...

Madelina picks a note, looks at it and then grabs another one...

* + Madelina (reading): Blossom looks like the closest thing to a real-life fairy, all what she’s missing is a pair of wings...

* + Nymphs (Blossom; puppy eyes): This is the nicest thing someone has ever said to me! I wonder who wrote this!

Madelina picks another note, reads it, puts it back and takes another one...

* + Madelina (reading): Some people may find Scholastica intimidating by her height, but DAMN! I’d kill to have these legs!

* + Xerdans (Scholastica; flattered): Ooooo... I never thought my legs looked that good...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; confused): There’s something strange going on...

* + Mia and Ophelia (Ophelia; crossing her arms): How? Aren’t you used to seeing women compliment one another?

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; crossing his arms): No, it’s just....

Madelina picks another note, reads it, puts it back and takes another one...

* + Chase (furious): SCAM!!! That’s a scam!!!

* + Madelina (shocked): Huh?!

* + Chase (pissed): Don’t you realize what she’s doing? She’s purposely picking the NICE comments! She’s reading them at her mind first and when she doesn’t like one, she gets rid of it and reads the nice ones aloud!

* + Nymphs (Breeze; serious): I noticed that too! What are you trying to hide?

* + Madelina (sweating): I’m not hiding anything! I-I swear!

* + Chase (grinning): Then you wouldn’t mind if I read them out instead?

* + Madelina (eye rolling): Fine! Take the goblet and I bet you, you wouldn’t find anything “rude”!

* + Chase (smirking; holding the goblet): We’ll see for ourselves!

* + Chet (sweating): C-chase... I-I don’t think this is a... g-good i-idea...

* + Chase (grinning): Shut up, Chet. It’s time for us to look for the good stuff!

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; covering her face): Great! Now it’s really going to backfire!

* + Maverick and Yoyo (Maverick; sweating): Lets just pray that Chase doesn’t find anything controversial....

* Watch Chase read the notes (1 star; Pre-request: Watch Madelina read the notes)

* + Chase (evil grin; holding the goblet): Oh boy, am I excited! Lets see what we have...

Chase picks a note...

* + Chase (grinning): Soooo... Our first notes is about Rubarae, may she show herself?

* + Rubarae (neutral): That would be me, what does the note say?

* + Chase (reading): “Rubarae and her mother are the textbook definition of ‘complicit’, who told that rat she can be forest protector?!”

* + Rubarae (furious): ‘Complicit’?! As if anyone would know how to act in my situation! Who dares question my leadership?!

* + Nymphs (Eurydice; sweating): ....

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; sweating): That one was clearly written by another nymph, so... I seriously doubt any drama will start over this...

Chase picks another note...

* + Chase (grinning): The second one is about.... Oooooo.... The archery goddess!

* + Chase (reading): “Artemis’ got a mandible longer than her brother’s, has anything bothered checking for a PE-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...

* + Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!

* + Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....

* + Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Chase...

* + Chase (reading): -IS!!”

* + Artemis (furious): EXCUSE ME?!

* + Nymphs (Clementine; giggling): Hehehe...

* + Chase (laughing): MAN! That one was GOOD! You ladies are shady, what else have you got!

Chase picks one last note...

* + Chase (shocked): Ooooo... This time it’s about none other than the queen! Johanna!

* + Johanna (concerned): What does it say about me?

* + Chase (reading): “Johanna sounds like she has a d-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...

* + Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!

* + Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....

* + Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Chase...

* + Chase (reading): -k in her mouth... I hate hearing her talk!”

* + Johanna (offended): What’s wrong with that!

* + Xerdans (pissed): YEAH!!!

A fight was about to break out, but Madelina came to stop it...

* + Madelina (awkward grin): Ladies! Calm down! Be aware these are only three out of god-knows-how-many! Lets not freak out right now!

* + Chase (eye rolling): You’re only saying that since there’s none for you! You women like to preach love and peace until some bitch talks shit about you!

* + Xerdans (serious): PERIODT!

* + Madelina (crossing her arms): That’s... absolutely false! I’m not going to go against this alliance simply because of one bad comment about me!

Madelina grabs the goblet from Chase...

* + Madelina (serious): Look! I’m going to read one more comment to show that the rude one’s are nothing but a minority!

* + Nymphs (Breeze; serious): Fine! But this one read the FIRST ONE you pick!

* + Madelina (eye rolling): Ugh... Whatever!

Madelina picks a comment without reading it...

* + Madelina (serious): Look! I didn’t read it or anything! I’m going to say it out aloud!

* + Madelina (reading): “Madelina claims she ‘chose’ to be a virgin, yet has the fashion sense of a Vegas hooker. So was it really her choice to not get laid, or is that just an excuse that no man with eyes wants to hit that!”

* + Madelina (holding her anger): ...

* + Nymphs (holding their laughter): ...

* + Xerdans (holding their laughter): ...

* + Huntresses (worried): Madelina... Are you okay?

* + Madelina (sweet smile): Who wrote this? Don’t be shy, expose yourself...

* + Maverick (sniggering): Eheheh.. Hahaha!

* + Madelina (crossing her arms): Maverick... Did you write this?

* + Maverick (innocent smirk): I don’t know... Maybe?

* + Madelina (smirking): Well... I did say I won’t freak out if another girl wrote that about me. But since you’re not a girl, I guess it’s fine if I... DO THIS!

Madelina pulls out her wand and sends a charge at Maverick...

* + Maverick (startled): Ah!

Maverick freaks out and runs away...

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; furious): Get back here you slavic pig!

Once Madelina started attacking Maverick, this inspired the others to attack each other...

* + Artemis and the huntresses (Artemis; pissed): You know what?! Screw this alliance! Huntresses attack!

* + Xerdans (Scholastica; shocked): Queen Johanna! They’re attacking us! What should we do?!

* + Johanna (serious): We have to protect ourselves! Draw your swords!

* + Rozetta (shocked): But Johanna!

* + Johanna (covering her face): They’ve given us no other choice, we can’t just stand here and let them kill us! We must fight!

* + Nymphs (horrified): Ahhhhh!!!!

* + Rubarae (serious): Girls! Get behind me! I’ll make sure none of those savages harm us!!!

* + Rubarae and the nymphs (Rubarae; breathing fire): ...

Meanwhile with the crew....

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; covering her face): I knew it! I knew this was going to backfire!

* + Natalie (shocked): No no no! This is not how it was supposed to go! What are we going to do?!

* + Ekho (serious): Going to do!

* + Natalie (curious): Ekho, what do you want?

Ekho gives Natalie a hand signal...

* + Natalie (shocked): You want my help to... Give a speech?!

* + Ekho (determined): Give a speech...

Natalie and Ekho go to the center of the arena...

* + Natalie (furious): Everyone! STOP!

Everyone stops fighting...

* + Natalie (serious): Ekho has something to say!

* + Nymphs (Clementine; giggling): This has to be a joke. Are you serious?

* + Natalie (serious): Yes, and I will help translate her words to you! We just want you all to hear her out!

* Listen to Natalie translating Ekho’s speech (1 star; Pre-request: Watch Chase read the notes)

* + Natalie (curious): Ekho, are you ready?

* + Ekho (determined): READY!

Ekho does a hand sign...

* + Natalie (serious): Ladies, I understand that none of you like each other and I respect your reasons, but....

Ekho does another hand sign...

* + Natalie (warning): Whatever you feel about each other is irrelevant to the problem! We have a bigger problems than our petty feelings and that is Orion!

* + Natalie (serious): We don’t have to be friends, but we all have a common enemy and the only way we could defeat him is by fighting TOGETHER! Not ONE ANOTHER!

Ekho does another hand sign....

* + Natalie (pissed): This type of behavior! This is exactly what Orion expects from us and wants, and acting that way is not going to get us anywhere, it will only make things worse!

* + Natalie (serious): Nymphs, huntresses and Xerdans. We all have our differences, whether it is our looks, values and combat styles, but we have ONE THING in common and you know what it is?

* + Natalie (smiling): WE ARE WOMEN!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): Great! Now the wokeness have begun!

Ekho makes another gesture with her hand...

* + Natalie (serious): We are all women! And nothing changes that whether we are feminine, masculine. Prudes or “whores”. We are women and nobody can take this away from us!

* + Natalie (confident): And as women, we must have each others backs and support one another!

* + Natalie (sad): Back when I was young and stupid, I distracted Hera while she was on her way to confront her cheating husband, allowing him to run the scene. And you know what she did? she cursed me!

* + Natalie (pissed): At first, I resented her for what she did, but then I looked at the story in her side, and I realized while she did go too far with her punishment, I deserved it, and you know why?

* + Natalie (serious): Because I should have not helped Zeus! As a woman I should have took her straight to him instead of blabbering my mouth to waste her time! And she should have taken her anger on HER MAN, instead of taking it on me!

Ekho does a hand sign...

* + Natalie (serious): Now you may be wondering why I’m telling you this story. And it is to show you an example of how NOT TO act! Instead of using your weapons against of each other, save them because we need them to bring the giant down!

This is the end of Ekho’s speech, and it made the whole arena silent...

* + Rubarae and the nymphs (shocked): ....

* + Artemis and the huntresses (shocked): ....

* + Rozetta, Johanna and the Xerdans (shocked): ....

* + Ekho (worried): ....

* + Natalie (sweet smile): Ekho, you did good...

* + Ekho (hopeful): Good...

Madelina stopped chasing Maverick....

* + Madelina and Holly (both shocked): ....

* + Maverick (covering his head): Did this work... Is she going to stop attacking me? But I’m not a woma-

* + Madelina and Holly (both happy; Madelina): Yasss queen!! SLAY!!!

Suddenly everyone starts cheering for Ekho...

* + Nymphs, huntresses and Xerdans (cheering): Ekho! Ekho! Ekho!

* + Ekho (smiling): ...

* + Natalie (happy): It worked! We actually brought the three groups together!

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; smiling): Yeah! It seems like we have a chance against Orion after all!

* + Maverick (crossing her arms): Yeah... I just want to know how the hell a speech about woman empowerment saved me from Madelina?

* + Hasuro (innocent smirk): Well... You do look a little effeminate...

* + Maverick (pissed): Effeminate?! I’ll show you who’s effeminate you little sh-

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; awkward grin): Now guys, Ekho just saved us from a battle about to go on. The last thing we need right now is a fight...

The huntresses approach the crew...

* + Huntresses (Huntress 3; concerned): Have any of you seen Renée? Artemis wants to talk with her...

* + Natalie (confused): Who’s Ginny?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; curious): A friend of ours, and no... I haven’t seen her anywhere in the arena, did you Ophelia?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Ophelia; worried): Oh no! She couldn’t have-

* + Huntresses (Huntress 2; confused): She couldn’t have what?!

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Yoyo; sweating): Nothing... Ophelia, I think you’ve talked enou-

* + Mia and Ophelia (Ophelia; panicking): Guys, I think Ginny may have left the city! She must have run off with Orion!

* + Artemis, Johanna and Rubarae (Artemis; shocked): WITH WHO?!
