*Scene - Turing's lab*
*Miles, Eddie and Player return with Turing*
**Billy**: Oh my lord you're ok!
**Mercy**: Are you alright?
**Miles**: Just some minor injuries, nothing to worry about.
**Eddie**: Mercy, please take care of everyone's wounds.
**Mercy**: Got it.
**Mercy**: Um, hold on.
**Eddie**: What's up?
**Mercy**: I think I might have run out of medicine...
**Eddie**: ...
**Player**: ...
**Mercy**: I'll go get some now!
*Mercy runs out to get some medicine*
**Miles**: Now you know why I didn't want to bring her.
*The Next Day...*
**Turing**: Eddie, Miles, thank you so much.
*Turing turns towards Player*
**Turing**: And thank you for taking that hit.
*Both Choices - Choice 1.1: "Probably just my instincts." OR Choice 1.2: "Didn't want you to get hurt, you know?"*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Miles**: Eddie doesn't have the brightest friends, ha!
**Eddie**: Shut your face, will ya?
**Eddie**: We're really sorry that you got dragged into this.
**Turing**: I try to help whenever I can.
**Billy**: I think he really wants to return to his world.
*Both Choices - Choice 2.1: "Yes! How do I do that though?" OR Choice 2.2: "I could stay a little bit longer."*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Eddie**: Maybe the Academy can help.
**Turing**: If it's Professor Vundo, maybe.
**Turing**: I will have to go, I suppose.
**Mercy**: Yes, please!
**Mercy**: He smokes way too much, and is always coughing during lectures!
**Mercy**: He doesn't want to quit, so he gets medicine from me all the time!
**Turing**: ...Right.
**Eddie**: Maybe it's best that you and Billy go somewhere else for a while.
**Eddie**: It's too close to Red Harbor here.
**Miles**: I've been meaning to. I've already packed the stuff I bought.
**Player**: Where is the Academy?
**Eddie**: On Never Isle.
*Chapter 4*
*A New Journey*
*Scene - In the cockpit of the airship*

**-Player talks to Turing**

*Choice 3.1 - About President Vundo...*
**Turing**: Hmm?
**Player**: What kind of person is President Vundo?
**Turing**: He...
**Turing**: He is...
**Turing**: A very reasonable man.
**Player**: Huh?
**Turing**: Yeah, so you don't have to worry. He understands your situation and will try to help.
*Choice 3.2 - You look concerned...*
**Turing**: Hmm? Do I look concerned?
*Choiuce 3.2.1 - Vundo?*
**Turing**: Hmm?
**Turing**: My teacher... should be able to help you unlock the secrets of the dice.
*Choice 3.2.2 - Dick?*
**Turing**: Yeah...
**Turing**: I'm trying to remember if I left any of my more important blueprints behind.
**Turing**: I'm pretty sure Dick will try to ransack my lab. If he gets his hands on my blueprints--well, it won't be good.
*Choice 3.2.3 - Dice?*
**Turing**: Yeah...
**Turing**: Your dice is very complicated indeed. I can't do anything without dismantling it.
**Player**: ... Will you be able to put it back together after?
**Turing**: I won't know until I take it apart so...
**Player**: What if you can't reassemble it...
**Turing**: ... Living here isn't all bad. It's a nice life for some people. Yeah. Uh. Housing's good.
**Turing**: So that's going to be the last resort. Let's find try to find my teacher first.
*Choice 3.3 - Nothing...*
**Turing**: Ok.

**-Player talks to Billy**

**Billy**: You have done the boss a huge favor, and I owe you a big one! Whatever you need, just let me know!
*Choice 4.1 - Don't say that...*
**Player**: If you are there, I'm sure you'll be faster than me!
**Billy**: Haha, right, it is my duty to protect the boss!
**Billy**: But if you put it that way... Haven't I failed my duty...?
**Player**: No way, you protected the airship for him!
*Choice 4.2 - How long till we arrive?*
**Billy**: Uh, I've never been here before either... Let me check the navigation system.
**Billy**: Ah, we are almost there. If you are anxious, you can chat with others.
*Choice 4.3 - Thanks, but I'm fine for now.*
**Billy**: Sure, let me know if you need me!

**-Player talks to Mercy**

*Choice 5.1 - Your brother Wolf...*
**Mercy**: What's with Brother Wolf?
**Player**: When we left the factory yesterday, I felt his attitude toward me shift toward the better...
**Player**: But now he's back to being fierce.
**Player**: I kinda don't know how to get along with him.
**Mercy**: Oh, that! You don't need to worry!
**Mercy**: He's just suffering from motion sickness!
**Player**: Motion sickness?
**Mercy**: Yeah, if anyone talks to him on a ship or airship, he'll feel like throwing up.
**Mercy**: Probably because he spent most his childhood in the forest...
**Player**: Forest...
**Player**: (Could it be that he really lived with wolves?)
**Mercy**: Yeah... I heard Eddie said that he was abandoned when he was born...
**Mercy**: A female wolf adopted him.
**Mercy**: Later, he was taken to Azria by Master Markus, the current captain of Oathblades.
**Player**: I often hear you talk about Azria. What kind of place is that?
**Mercy**: I don't know much either. I have never seen Azria...
**Mercy**: I just heard it was the homeland of Gyee, but it was destroyed...
**Mercy**: That was before I was born. Eddie and Brother Wolf were also quite young.
**Mercy**: Right, you can ask Eddie. He lived at Azria for many years!
*Choice 5.2 - Do you know President Vundo?*
**Mercy**: I know him very well. He often comes here to get medicine!
**Mercy**: My brother and sister are also his students!
**Player**: What kind of person do you think President Vundo is then?
**Mercy**: He should pay more attention to his health!
**Mercy**: He is a heavy smoker. No matter how much he coughs, he still wants to smoke!
**Mercy**: His voice is also extremely loud in class. Sounds like he's always screaming!
**Mercy**: Right! He also has a habit of staying up late and when he does, he ends up smoking even more!
**Player**: Staying up late to prepare for classes?
**Mercy**: Yeah, that might be...
**Mercy**: I think he teaches history apart from Arcana.
**Player**: Sounds pretty responsible.
**Player**: Could he be very serious and old-fashioned? Like, is he kind of hard to approach...
**Mercy**: No, don't worry!
**Mercy**: He only gets serious in class. Most of the time, he jokes a lot and can be very talktive!
**Player**: (If Mercy says he talks a lot, he should be quite approachable!)
**Mercy**: He's a sweet person. If his students, colleagues, or even neighbors are in trouble...
**Mercy**: He'll help!
**Mercy**: You saved Master Turing, right? I'm sure he is happy to help you!
*Choice 5.3 - I'm good, thanks!*
**Mercy**: Ok! You're welcome!

**-Player talks to Miles**

**Miles**: What's up.
*Choice 6.1 - I just wanted to ask...*
**Miles**: Ask them. Fighting's the only thing I know.
*Choice 6.2 - The wolf you are keeping...*
**Miles**: Keeping?
**Miles**: You think a wolf can be a pet?
**Miles**: He's my friend. His name is Grey.
*Choice 6.3 - No, nothing...*
**Miles**: If you've got nothing to do, stop wandering around.

*Player talks to Eddie*
**Eddie**: You have just come to this world. It must not be easy to adapt.
**Eddie**: If you have any questions, just ask me.
*Choices start #1*
*Choice 7.1 - Why do the people at the factory dislike Gyee?*
**Eddie**: \*sighs\*...
**Eddie**: If a chick looks different from other chicks, it'll end up getting ostracized and bullied.
**Eddie**: It's the same with humans.
**Eddie**: Gyees are intertwined with the Flux, the birds, and the beasts. That makes us Gyee different from the humans.
**Eddie**: It is quite natural for others to stay away from Gyee because they think Gyee is a different race and must have different values.
**Player**: But Gyee didn't do anything to hurt them... right?
*(I shot Miles a furtive glance)*
**Eddie**: Even they hurt us, most of the time we just take it.
**Eddie**: But recently, many linked the resurgence of Shadow to Gyee.
**Eddie**: Just because we are different...
**Player**: ...
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 7.2 - About Azria...*
**Eddie**: Ah, I need to start from Master Az.
**Player**: Master Az!
**Eddie**: He established Azria, later known as Azria.
**Eddie**: What kind of city is that?
**Eddie**: It's a... city of light and roses.
**Eddie**: Those are the two things that left the deepest impression in my mind.
**Eddie**: I was found to be a Gyee at 8, so father decided to move the entire family to Azria.
**Eddie**: That night, we could see the light from Azria from afar.
**Eddie**: Father said that was the Light Nexus. All the Flux would meet together at Azria.
**Eddie**: Everyone on the ship was attracted by that light. Their eyes all filled with longing.
**Eddie**: Father said he was proud, proud that his son was a Gyee.
**Eddie**: That would never happen again...
**Eddie**: After we entered the city, I saw a Gyee in his beast form in front of a tavern.
**Eddie**: With a bouquet of rose in his hand, he gave it to a young man.
**Eddie**: They hugged passionately and never parted even after we walked away...
**Eddie**: If I had not personally experienced all this...
**Eddie**: I'm sorry, I'm being too nostalgic...
**Player**: What happened to Azria after... Was it...
**Eddie**: Well... There's no more Azria now.
**Eddie**: White Cape and Shadow Legion broke Azria's defense and burned it down to ruins...
**Player**: ...
**Eddie**: President Vundo's teacher, Master Seren, took us survivors and escaped to Never Isle.
**Eddie**: We rebuilt our home on the island.
**Eddie**: To prevent them from invading again, Master Seren created an Arcana barrier around Never Isle.
**Eddie**: The fog you see right now is in fact the barrier.
**Eddie**: Those who do not have Never Beacon will never be able to reach Never Isle.
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 7.3 - About Never Isle...*
**Eddie**: With the destruction of Azria, Never Isle is the last bastion for us Gyees...
**Eddie**: At the time, it was our home.
**Eddie**: Twenty years ago, it was nothing but a deserted island.
**Eddie**: But now it's quite a prosperous place after our joint efforts!
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 7.4 - Thank you!*
**Eddie**: Yeah, come to me anytime you have questions!
*Choice 7.5 - Is that an... island down there?*
**Eddie**: Ah, right, seems we are almost there!
**Eddie**: Prepare for landing! Strap in!
*Scene continues after choices*
**Voice from Radio**: Never Isle airship control tower here. Please report your identity. Over.
**Eddie**: Eddie from Order of Equality, Team 1. Reporting in for mission completion. Over.
**Miles**: Miles from Oathblades, Team Shadow. Reporting in for mission completion. Over.
**Voice from Radio**: Please indicate your airship's name and number of passengers. Over.
**Eddie**: We have a total of six. The name is...uh...
**Billy**: We haven't thought about that...
**Player**: How about we just call it the 'Dimension Traveler'?
**Turing**: Okay.
**Eddie**: ... It's 'Dimensional Travler'!
**Miles**: There's a hastily made decision.
**Billy**: Cool name!
**Voice from Radio**: Identity verification accepted. Arcana barrier opening soon.
*Scene - Never Isle*
*Billy pulls the airship towards Never Isle's dock*
*A group of people wait on thei pier*
**Billy**: First step towards a trip around the world!
**Billy**: Is someone waiting for us?
*The group exits and sees President Vundo along with four guards*
**Mercy**: President Vundo?
**Eddie**: Sir...
**Eddie**: You didn't have to do this.
**Eddie**: Especially with such a large group...
**Billy**: Is this your teacher? He looks mean.
**Vundo**: Arrest him!
*The guards approach the group*
**Eddie**: Wait! Sir, what's going on?
**Turing**: President...
**Vundo**: President?
**Vundo**: I'm your professor!
**Turing**: Yes, sir...
**Vundo**: Did you forget the rules?
**Vundo**: You brought an unregistered artifact to the island.
**Turing**: Artifact?
**Player**: Do you mean...this?
*Player takes out the dice*
**Vundo**: So small...
**Vundo**: Arrest him!
**Miles**: What's going on?
**Miles**: He's not a Shadow and also not a Mundane, why are we arresting him?
**Mercy**: Yeah, why are we doing this?
**Billy**: Don't you dare touch him! He saved our boss!
**Eddie**: Miles, put the gun down.
**Turing**: Billy!
**Vundo**: What did you just say?
**Vundo**: He saved your boss? Is that boss you, Turing?
**Turing**: Yes, sir. And he did save me.
**Vundo**: Tell me what happened.
*Turing described the rescue.*
**Vundo**: I see.
**Vundo**: Getting into trouble again, huh?
**Turing**: ...
*Turing blushes*
**Vundo**: So you're from another world?
**Vundo**: Let me see that dice.
*The dice floats over to Vundo*
**Vundo**: I've never seen an Arcana circuit as intricate as this.
**Vundo**: Could this be wrong?
**Vundo**: No, this is not wrong.
**Vundo**: This is EXCELLENT.
**Billy**: That dice must really be something.
**Turing**: This is the first time I've seen him so engrossed in something.
**Vundo**: This circuit...it's like a black hole.
**Vundo**: It contains an enormous amount of energy.
**Vundo**: But looks like a dried-up pond...
*Later...*
*After Vundo asks the guards to leave, Player talks to Vundo*
**Player**: President...
**Vundo**: Heh. Sorry. My manners have deserted me.
**Vundo**: Hmm... You better keep this for now...
*Choice 8.1 - So you can't find anything either.*
**Vundo**: Of course I can!
*Choice 8.2 - Is there anything wrong with the dice?*
**Vundo**: No problem.
**Vundo**: It's a very powerful artifact.
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Vundo**: But to analyze it, I will need to create a Flux Analysis Ceremony which relies on the power of Arcana Nexus to run...
**Vundo**: There are, however, risks involved in committing to such an action...
*Choice 9.1 - I'm not afraid!*
**Vundo**: I'm not concerned about your safety.
*Choice 9.2 - Aren't you curious, Sir?*
**Vundo**: Ouch... You got me there.
**Vundo**: No scholar can stay passive in the face of such an academic problem...
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Vundo**: But I'm also responsible for the safety of Never Isle...
**Vundo**: Your a stranger from another world. A stranger from another world carrying a powerful ancient artifact...
**Vundo**: I'm sorry, but I cannot trust you completely. I hope you can understand.
**Player**: Yeah... I do...
**Turing**: Professor, I can vouch for his character: he holds no malice toward us.
**Turing**: And should anything happen, I will bear the consequences.
**Billy**: I'll vouch for him too!
**Vundo**: You guys... Do you know how much responsibility you are talking about...
**Eddie**: President Vundo, this artifact could be related to Azria.
**Eddie**: If it has the slightest chance of restoring Azria to its former glory, then we must try.
**Eddie**: We, the Order of Equality, are also willing to accept this noble responsibility.
**Vundo**: ...
**Miles**: Don't fret, President. Even if the sky should fall, the Oathblades will bear that weight.
**Vundo**: Well... alright. You didn't all need to vouch for him, you know.
**Vundo**: If he can go through some tests and be accepted by five major organizations, I can run the Flux analysis for him.
**Player**: Five organizations?
**Vundo**: Listen carefully. The five major organizations are:
**Vundo**: The Order of Equality, the Oathblades, Never Isle Defense, the Kaism Church and us, Arcana Academy.
**Vundo**: Each time you pass a test and gain their trust, they will give you a Seal.
**Vundo**: I'll just bestow the Seal of Arcana Academy upon you right now...
**Vundo**: Given that you saved Turing, I'd say that's proof enough for your character!
**Vundo**: Come find me at Arcana Academy after you have been accepted by the other four organizations.
**Vundo**: I'll go back first.
**Player**: Great! Thanks, Sir!
**Vundo**: Of course. Ah, yes, Turing, would you mind accompanying me?
**Turing**: ...
*Turing blushes*
**Billy**: Boss!
**Turing**: You can walk around. Indulge in a bit of sightseeing, perhaps.
**Billy**: Haha, that's great! I'll be on my way then!
*Billy takes off on his own*
*Turing departs with Vundo*
**Vundo**: I told you the outside world was a dangerous place, but you still didn't want to come back!
**Turing**: ...
**Vundo**: But seem you taller now.
**Turing**: ...
*Turing blushes*
*Eddie turns towards Player*
**Eddie**: Just come find me at the Order of Equality's headquarters! No test needed, I'll give you the Seal!
**Player**: Fantastic. Thanks, Eddie!
**Eddie**: Hey, don't you Oathblades have something to say as well?
**Miles**: Are you implying that us Oathblades are worthless pushovers as well?
**Eddie**: What did you just say? !
**Miles**: Look at that, mad already.
**Eddie**: Well, I think I'm going to report in. Later, losers!
**Miles**: Hey you. Come seek me out at Oathblades when you are ready.
*Eddie and Miles leave*
**Eddie**: Why are you following me!?
**Miles**: Am I, now?
**Miles**: Here I was thinking how you were getting in my way!
**Eddie**: ...
*Eddie looks frustrated*
**Mercy**: Can they just stop arguing?
**Mercy**: Right, I need to get back to the Church to get some medicine. I'll ask about that Seal for you!
**Player**: Sure, thanks!
**Mercy**: No problem!
**Mercy**: There's Wesley! Isn't he adorable? See that dog at the door?
**Mercy**: He's one of the Cannye races. When I first came to Never Isle, he gave me directions!
**Mercy**: If you get lost, just ask him!
**Mercy**: I'll be on my way, now.
*Mercy leaves*
*Player greets the Puppy Man at the city gate*
**Wesley**: Mercy told me to give you directions!
**Wesley**: I am Wesley of the Cannye.
**Wesley**: Welcome to Never Isle, the last fortress of Gyee, a land of freedom hidden in Lake Bliss!
**Wesley**: Mercy told me to surprise you...
**Wesley**: So I got you a gift!
**Wesley**: There are lots of events going on around Never Isle everyday!
**Wesley**: And also lots of secret locations for you to discover!
**Wesley**: I hope you have a pleasant journey!
