Gaar

Sleep? Oh c'mon, come have fun with me!

*Gaar - Agent employed by White Cape.*

*Comes from a horde in the northwest of Red Desert*

*Secret agent of White Cape with a mysterious background*

## Intro

In the archive of Oathblades, there are documents about every important member of White Cape. Comprehensive and detailed as they are, each of them contains at least thousands of words or even 10 times of that...

But Gaar's document only has several sentences, and... it is written in a weird style:

'Gaar, agent employed by White Cape, male, 25 years old, born in a passionate tribe Tokkaturk. His idol is Tenorkuttarama, the King of Music.
Once a private mercenary, he now serves White Cape's intelligence department 'Holy Eyes' for a super high salary.
This man is cunning and extremely hot. Try to avoid from using violence when you meet him. If violence is inevitable, never hit him in the face.'

... Don't tell me this guy sneaked into the archive and wrote this himself?

* **Chang**: I must thank Gaar. He's the only one in White Cape who would donate to the shelter, and that's quite a lot of money... It's just... he'd be an even better guy if he stops trying to take the kids to the club...

*Osmond's Intimacy reaches Lv.4 to unlock*

## Scripts

### Consolation Letter

Hey bro,

By the time you receive this mail... you are already targeted by the Ace Agent with the prettiest look the White Capes have ever seen!

All your information, except for those on Earth, I got it here. I'm in control of your whereabouts, too.

That's right, it's a blackmail!

If you don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of White Capes after you land... You should rub me the right way, shouldn't you?

You can buy me some drinks? Or go disco with me? Oh, I got an ideal. Hahahaha! Let's say, why not trick Brother Bernard outta Altar? I wanna rub his hair. For just once!

### Bath Drama

* I just won't stay idle for a minute, even when I'm bathing. I want to shoot something with my gun...
* Hey, dude, want a water fight?
* Ha-ha. Check out my tattoo. Isn't it cool?

### Fave Hottie Slogan

The bright moon in front of the bed shines all around. You're the only vote I'm missing. There's no need to worry about the search for the White Capes; Gaar has a plan.

### Intimacy Breakthrough

**This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.**

**-Intimacy Level 4**

**Gaar**: Present? For me?
**Gaar**: Hey, get it straight, even if I do dress up a bit gaudy sometimes...
**Gaar**: I'm still a White Cape, just the plain-clothed kind.
**Gaar**: You better watch out and don't let me catch you!

**-Intimacy Level 5**

**Gaar**: My hometown is Tokaktek, northwest of the Red Desert.
**Gaar**: Everyone there sings and dances. It's what they do every day.
**Gaar**: When the tribe held a ceremony, the chief would inspect the warriors from a high bleacher while the rest of us sang and danced.
**Gaar**: It's odd to outsiders, naturally, but that's how we celebrate our might and prosperity.
**Gaar**: After we see a spectacular play, we'd rush the stage to sing and dance too.
**Gaar**: To us, how long the crowd lingered to party afterward indicates how popular a stage play is.
**Gaar**: Warriors with excellent equestrian skills would even dance on horseback when they hunt!
**Gaar**: I can take you sometime if you want to go.
**Gaar**: But we have to sneak in... The chief doesn't like me.

**-Intimacy Level 6**

**Gaar**: Bring me along next time you go shadow hunting, buddy.
**Gaar**: What's wrong with White Cape? The Shadow is our enemy, too!
**Gaar**: But if you preferred someone else, I won't bother you.
**Gaar**: Anyway, never go alone. There is strength in numbers.

**-Intimacy Level 7**

**Gaar**: Damn...
**Player**: Gaar chugs another mouthful of wine.
**Gaar**: Frigging White Capes...
**Gaar**: I'm going to shave the fur off all your bellies and chuck them on the ground!
**Gaar**: Then I'll cut off your hair and beard and make a bathroom mop out of it!
**Player**: That's twisted...
**Player**: What's wrong, White Cape infighting?
**Gaar**: No infighting allowed is why I have to find a new bar!
**Gaar**: Otherwise I'd blow them all to Kingdom Come!
**Gaar**: Just your place here left.
**Gaar**: And not even a dance floor.
**Gaar**: It's boring to not disco!
*Gaar turns suddenly, eyes lighting up at the sight of... the swimming pool.*
**Gaar**: Dance floor! I see a dance floor!
**Gaar**: I want to dance, I want to make a splash!
**Player**: Whoa, not with your shoes on, buddy!
**Player**: People swim in that!
**Gaar**: Buzzkill!
**Gaar**: Just like that old dog Alvin, a buzzkill.
**Player**: Alvin?
**Gaar**: Head of the White Cape Intelligence.
**Gaar**: Told me not to mess with other departments, not even to piss on their door!
**Gaar**: Made me mad enough to call him 'Old Dog' to his face.
**Gaar**: I ran off quickly after that. He might dock my pay.
**Player**: Wait, the other departments you mentioned... What's White Cape up to now?
**Gaar**: The yellow eye-catchers raided a bar I frequented again.
**Gaar**: They said there are yellow eyes in there.
**Gaar**: Which is bullcrap, since all the yellow eyes hang out at Hottie Bar!
**Gaar**: They couldn't find any yellow eyes, so they're just trying to get people and hit their quota.
**Gaar**: It's easier to round up the transients at the bar.
**Gaar**: They even shut it down!
**Gaar**: No idea if they'll welcome me back if they do open up again, since they see me as a White Cape!
**Gaar**: I just want to get drunk, then run over to those bastards' dorm...
**Gaar**: And dance until I vomit all over their beds, shoes, and underwears!
**Player**: Whoa, calm down, buddy. Let's not headbutt a rock just 'cause you got a hard head!
**Player**: Those were your exact words.
**Gaar**: Man, you still remember what I said!
**Gaar**: I'm bored and have been in a bad mood lately...
**Gaar**: ... Got toys?
**Gaar**: I'm actually easy to deal with when I'm in a bad mood, just need interesting toys to keep me occupied.
**Gaar**: You got toys? Hand me some if you do.
**Player**: Toy? Is stuffed toy okay?
**Gaar**: Yeah! I love plushy things! Give me!
*Scene transition*
**Gaar**: Is it the only one?
**Player**: Hmm, not too bad.
**Gaar**: What the... Why do they all looked the same?
**Gaar**: And it looks so familiar...
**Gaar**: I remember now. You gave me this before, didn't you?
**Gaar**: And I remember you giving it to someone else too.
**Gaar**: Ah, I get it!
**Gaar**: You're a vendor!
**Player**: ... How about I find another toy for you?
**Gaar**: Other plush teddy?
**Gaar**: Big one's fine too!
**Gaar**: Just pretend you have three of this. Now we only need a papa bear and mama bear!
**Player**: Uh, just this kind of small teddy left.
**Gaar**: That makes you a poor vendor.
**Gaar**: But it's okay, I can make them into a family of three. I just draw a mustache here...
**Gaar**: And just pretend the kid's grown to big as big as the parents!
**Gaar**: Watch me draw a mustache on papa bear!
*Gaar takes out a marker and draws a mustache on one of the plush teddy.*
**Player**: The teddy's got a mustache just like him.
**Player**: He's really serious about this...
**Gaar**: Perfect! Now glasses!
**Gaar**: But not black rimmed.
**Gaar**: Got color markers? I want a gold glasses for him!
**Gaar**: Now he's a learned dad!
**Player**: Are you drawing him to look like your dad?
**Gaar**: ... No.
**Gaar**: I don't even remember what he looked like.
**Gaar**: But all the bullseyes in my house were depicted in his honor!
**Gaar**: With curly burned hair like it was struck by lightning!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (What happened between him and his father?)
*Gaar starts drawing a suit on the papa bear.*
**Player**: He seems happily immersed in the work, probably should leave him be for now.

**-Intimacy Level 8**

**Gaar**: I'm going to tell you a secret.
**Gaar**: Actually, I'm undercover.
**Gaar**: My true allegiance is with...
**Gaar**: The Oathblades.
**Gaar**: Three years ago, Commander Markus sent me to infiltrate White Cape and I've been undercover since.
**Gaar**: On the surface I collect intel for them, but in truth, I gather info on White Cape to pass on to Markus.
**Gaar**: So, I'm actually a soldier who protects our kind!
**Gaar**: An inside man who risks his life not for fortune or fame!
**Gaar**: Haha, hee... No, I can't keep a straight face! Let me laugh this out, hahaha!
**Gaar**: Judging from your reaction, you believed it.
**Gaar**: I was going to use you to smuggle me onto Never Isle...
**Gaar**: Then knock you out, take your clothes and lock you in a basement.
**Gaar**: Whoa, don't read too much into it there! I was just going to change into your clothes to help me blend in.
**Gaar**: But I did say 'Was'. How innocent you are changed my mind long ago.

**-Intimacy Level 9**

**Gaar**: Are you asking me if it's true that those who can't sing or dance get drafted into military service?
**Gaar**: It's true, I'm not joking!
**Gaar**: I have a distant uncle named Ottolecarrdideritoward who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
**Gaar**: He got conscripted and nothing could save him, until...
**Gaar**: It took both Chief and Mr. Tenokutatrama for him to learn to sing.
**Gaar**: After escaping the military, he'd give gifts to the Chief and Mr. Tenokutatrama every year as his appreciation.
**Gaar**: You must realize singing and dancing is top priority to the Tokaktekians!
**Gaar**: Tokaktekians accord their highest respect not to Ka or any other god, or even great chiefs and priests, but to a singer.
**Gaar**: Yes, you're correct, none other than Mr. Tenokutatrama!
**Gaar**: To us Tokaktekians, the legendary singer Mr. Tenokutatrama is what Master Az is to you Gyees.
**Gaar**: Among us, you better add 'Mr.' or 'Lord' when you mention him, otherwise...
**Gaar**: A mob will descend upon you, take your jacket and shoes, beat you to a pulp, then throw you into a cactus field!
**Gaar**: You want to see this Mr. Tenokutatrama?
**Gaar**: He passed away.
**Gaar**: I've never seen him myself. I left home when I was very young. I heard it all from my mother.
**Gaar**: As for why I worship him... Probably because his songs are great.
**Gaar**: I grew up listening to my mom sing his song, after all.

**-Intimacy Level 10**

**Gaar**: Alas, the shelter kicked me out again.
**Gaar**: Yeah, the shelter run by the big dog.
**Gaar**: I dropped in on the big dog's class today. He was lecturing them on... morals, I think.
**Gaar**: We sat in a circle and the big dog asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'
**Gaar**: I put my hand up, higher than any of the puppies!
**Gaar**: The big dog saw no one else raised their hand and called my name.
**Gaar**: I stood up excitedly and said I had this super-duper dream since childhood and that is to be a god!
**Gaar**: Everybody laughed, and the big dog asked me if my dream came true.
**Gaar**: I said I got into a nightclub and realized it's cooler than being a god!
**Gaar**: Let me tell you puppies, the nightclub has many hot guys the size of a big dog who'd ask you to dance with them.
**Gaar**: Hey now, dance with me, y'all!
**Gaar**: Now follow the rhythm and grab a hot guy by the hand!
**Gaar**: Face to face, cheek to cheek, and feel his body move! Now roar!
**Gaar**: Then the big dog kicked me out as the kids clapped.
**Gaar**: They said I was teaching kids the wrong thing. Was I?
**Gaar**: I was showing them how to have a good time, how could that be wrong?
**Gaar**: A missionary once told me, 'All who bring joy to the world are angels sent by Ka'...
**Gaar**: So that makes me an angel, right?

**-Intimacy Level 11**

**Gaar**: Mom!
**Gaar**: Mama, mama, mama!
**Gaar's Mom**: Why the commotion? Did you swallow a bug?
**Gaar**: It's worse than that!
**Gaar**: My tag is missing!
**Gaar's Mom**: Tag? What tag?
**Gaar's Mom**: You means the Oath...
**Gaar's Mom**: The burned rusty one?
**Gaar**: Yes! Where did it go? Didn't I keep it in the drawer? Did you move it?
**Gaar's Mom**: Of course not! Why would I move it?
**Gaar's Mom**: Did your colleague find out?
**Gaar**: Impossible. I'd be dead long ago if they did.
**Gaar's Mom**: Oh no, I remember now, someone came to collect junk at the house last week!
**Gaar**: What? Junk? That's my super-precious baby!
**Gaar's Mom**: Well, I was busy playing cards at the time.
**Gaar's Mom**: So I let him take whatever and just leave the money on the card table.
**Gaar's Mom**: So he probably took it!
**Gaar**: Where is he?
**Gaar**: Where's the junkyard?
**Gaar's Mom**: It's probably getting melted down in some processing plant by now...
**Gaar**: Processing plant...
**Gaar**: Got to go, mom. I won't be home for dinner.
*Gaar grabs a satchel and two bandeliers and starts putting boots on.*
**Gaar's Mom**: Don't go picking a fight, son!
**Gaar's Mom**: Take it easy. I can get a forger to fake one for you if necessary.
**Gaar's Mom**: Right down to the rust and scorch marks!
**Gaar**: You should save that money for your cosmetics and perfume.
**Gaar**: Or two more cases of wines. We'll celebrate if I can find it.
*Gaar runs out the door.*
**Gaar's Mom**: Okay, come back soon!
**Gaar's Mom**: Don't pick a fight! And if you do, at least have some backup!
**Gaar's Mom**: I'll wait for you to drink with me, you hear?
*Scene transition*
**Player**: Is this your dog tag?
**Gaar**: Yeah, didn't figure you'd find it first.
**Gaar**: Give it to me now!
*Gaar takes the dog tag and kisses it several times.*
**Player**: Uh, I found it sorting through the garbage.
**Gaar**: Yes, this is it!
**Player**: Gaar kisses the dog tag again.
**Gaar**: I'm so glad you're back, my baby! Muah!
**Player**: You wouldn't happen to be an Oathblades undercover in the White Cape, would you?
**Gaar**: Oops, busted.
**Gaar**: Don't tell anyone. Only Miles, Markus and you know my true identity.
**Gaar**: Well, Nemesio would probably know if he was still alive.
**Player**: Nemesio quit Oathblades six years ago. Don't tell me you were Oathblades back then?
**Gaar**: Yeah, we left Oathblades together.
**Player**: Together...?
**Gaar**: When Martin and John ambushed us six years back, we were the only two survivors in our unit.
**Player**: Nemesio was one, and you were the other?
**Gaar**: I didn't want to die at the time.
**Gaar**: I couldn't abandon my mom, but I didn't want to be a deserter, either.
**Gaar**: As chronically indecisive, I went with a third option.
**Gaar**: I played possum, lying still with fire burning my butt.
**Gaar**: My poor butt, it looks like a mutilated bun now.
**Player**: That was the right decision.
**Player**: Not entirely heroic, but at least you lived.
**Player**: It let you keep fighting and keep protecting your kind without betraying your vow.
**Gaar**: All right, I don't need you to justify it with lies too, I can do that on my own.
**Gaar**: You want to hear the truth?
**Gaar**: Do you want to know what I was thinking lying in the fire?
**Gaar**: It was simple, really...
**Gaar**: Ignore me, ignore me!'
**Gaar**: That was my only thought.
**Gaar**: Revenge, meaning of life, and all that were a load of crap.
**Gaar**: Purely lies I told to fool myself and my conscience.
**Gaar**: I thought only me and maybe eighty-year-old grandmas would believe that...
**Gaar**: I didn't think you'd fall for it, too.
**Player**: But you survived and went on to do a lot for the Oathblades...
**Player**: If I guess right, you're the source for most of the intelligence about the White Cape.
**Player**: As well as those on Martin, Rita and the Shadow's operation during the fight for beacons.
**Player**: Don't let history and intent sway how you see the results.
**Player**: Judging from results alone, you're still a hero.
**Gaar**: No no, never call me a hero!
**Gaar**: You can call me anything, just not a hero, I beg you!
**Gaar**: You should know if I get another similar chance...
**Gaar**: To abandon comrades, disregard allegiances, even betray my friends just to live...
**Gaar**: That very well may be the choice again.
**Gaar**: I like heroes and would like to be one, but I know I'm not!
**Gaar**: Nemesio is a hero. I'm just a normal guy.
**Gaar**: It's too fake and dirty to call myself a hero when I'm not. I wouldn't even be fit for a normal guy.
**Player**: You sound very principled.
**Gaar**: Nah, just when it's something big.
**Gaar**: So, promise to never call me a hero if you want to be my friend.
**Gaar**: But if you insist on making my head big...
*Gaar raises an eyebrow and snaps his fingers.*
**Gaar**: You can call me 'Adonis'!
**Gaar**: Yeah, that's a moniker I can live up to!
**Player**: Okay, fine, Adonis, now that we found your dog tag...
**Player**: Shouldn't we find a place and celebrate over a drink?
**Gaar**: Of course!
**Gaar**: Come to my house. My mom got it set up already!
**Gaar**: She has a knack for good wines, much better than me.
**Player**: (Is he taking me home to meet the parent?)
**Gaar**: And we remodeled the interior to look like a nightclub!
**Gaar**: Especially when she loves to disco but too lazy to go out.
**Gaar**: Follow me, you'll like my place for sure!
**Player**: Sure!

**-Intimacy Level 12**

**Gaar**: Are you that interested in my past?
**Gaar**: Since I'm a secret agent, I got a rep to maintain, so I don't tell the story to just anybody.
**Gaar**: And frankly, the stories were funny and even embarrassing!
**Gaar**: But it's very motivating and therapeutic!
**Gaar**: You haven't been in a good mood lately, so I guess I'll tell you and make you happy.
**Gaar**: Me, I was born in a brothel. My mom might be old now, but she was quite a looker back then.
**Gaar**: I lived comfortably, and pretty ladies would play with me, teach me how to dance and sing.
**Gaar**: When I was 8, I watched mom 'entertain' customers... I guess you could call it 'studying'.
**Gaar**: Then I tried to 'practice' on my mom in the middle of the night and got a thorough beating in return.
**Gaar**: I was very upset back then. I was so young, I didn't even know the difference between that and a back massage!
**Gaar**: Then I cried, which made her cry, too. The next day, she told me:
**Gaar**: The Chief is actually your father and you're a prince, though an illegitimate one.
**Gaar**: So we can't live with him, but he can give us some money.'
**Gaar**: He has his own family and didn't want us, just wanted to buy us off with money.
**Gaar**: But that money never got to us. He paid a hitman instead.
**Gaar**: My father, a real bastard.
**Gaar**: So mom had to take me on the run, everywhere, usually hiding in the wild or caves.
**Gaar**: We'd sneak into city only when we were starved, sleeping in the sewers and scrounging for clothes.
**Gaar**: Hey, the leftover from dumpster-diving was much better and healthier than the twigs in the barrens.
**Gaar**: I'd keep telling mom we should go back to the brothel and would get smacked every time.
**Gaar**: She cried basically every day, but would always tell me my dad would give up so persevere and be optimistic.
**Gaar**: Then she'd sing and dance in tears.
**Gaar**: That was when she'd sing Mr. Tenokutatrama's songs to me and tell me about their dates.
**Gaar**: And I'd think if only Mr. Tenokutatrama was my dad.
**Gaar**: He probably wouldn't be so persistent in trying to kill us, at least.
**Gaar**: What, you don't think this is motivating or therapeutic?
**Gaar**: Come on, what's the rush?
**Gaar**: We ran and hid for 8 years and I turned 16.
**Gaar**: I was using a restaurant outhouse one day when I overhead someone talking about my father and couldn't believe my ears!
**Gaar**: Good things came to those who wait, since that bastard was struck dead by lightning!
**Gaar**: I was so ecstatic, I stole a lot of wine from the tavern, laughing and singing as I was being chased!
**Gaar**: Mom and I drank so much that day. We sang and dance the whole time to celebrate the occasion.
**Gaar**: The morals of this story are:
**Gaar**: One, you'll get what you deserve. It may come later, but never never!
**Gaar**: Two, only stupid people don't believe in mana from heaven.
**Gaar**: Three, there's nothing you can't overcome as long as you're living!
**Gaar**: Is that motivating and therapeutic enough for you?
**Gaar**: Then? My brother succeeded him and he was cordial to me and mom.
**Gaar**: But eventually, uh, he stopped talking to me.
**Gaar**: Well, I did something to piss him off to no end.
**Gaar**: I had too much to drink, ran to pop's grave, drop my drawers, whip out my johnson and...
**Gaar**: Give them a rather special baptism!
**Gaar**: I fought to hold it for the long run, maybe a mile or two!
**Gaar**: It felt so good when I let it spray!
**Gaar**: I got caught and was flogged the next day, but I still grinned from ear to ear!
**Gaar**: You know everything after: Joined Oathblades, became a scout, then a deserter, then an agent.
**Gaar**: Looking back, it was a miracle for me to live through all that.
**Gaar**: Now survival is second nature to me. Death would be a miracle for me now.

**-Intimacy Level 13**

**Gaar**: After much deliberation, I've decided to tell you a secret.
**Gaar**: You're in a precarious position.
**Gaar**: Because you know too much.
**Gaar**: You just learned almost all secrets of the most dangerous, enigmatic, handsome agent in history.
**Gaar**: So that agent might be stalking every day from this time forward.
**Gaar**: And he is probably thinking of a way to leave no witnesses...
**Gaar**: Or gag you permanently in some way.
**Gaar**: That's right, you're at the crossroads of your life!
**Gaar**: Do what you want and should do...
**Gaar**: Or rather, whatever you want to do.
**Gaar**: It's up to you to decide.

### Dates

**This section contains spoilers for Date scenes.**

**Auction**

**-Intro**

**Gaar**: Hey, bud!
**Gaar**: Can I ride with you? I want to go to Kaigon!
**Gaar**: You look like a really cool guy. You surely wouldn't have the heart to refuse me, right?
**Player**: All right. Get on the boat!
*Scene transition*
**Player**: Why do you want to go to Kaigon all of a sudden?
**Gaar**: They're holding an auction in the cathedral. It's just trinkets, but expensive.
**Gaar**: It's essentially another form of donating money.
**Player**: Are you going? You donating to the church?
**Gaar**: Yeah. Why?
**Gaar**: Do I look like someone who doesn't donate?
**Player**: You wouldn't be donating out of remorse for the killings and arson you did, would you?
**Gaar**: Nonsense! Is that what you think?
**Gaar**: Why would I be remorseful for the killings and arson?
**Player**: Uh...
**Gaar**: When I was little, someone came after my family. I was on the run for many years with my mother.
**Gaar**: It was a pro assassin, so there was nothing we could do but pray.
**Gaar**: We narrowly escaped death many times and managed to survive.
**Gaar**: That was when I started believing in Ka.
**Player**: I see...
**Gaar**: I just believe in Ka, though, not a disciple of Ka.
**Player**: ... Is there a difference?
**Gaar**: Of course. I don't follow the rules.
**Gaar**: Why live just to follow the countless rules?
**Gaar**: The boring worshipers can follow the rules. I'll make the money for them!
**Gaar**: I'm interested in three things in the auction.
**Gaar**: A grail of pure gold. It's the best value since gold is not cheap to begin with.
**Gaar**: But it's nothing particularly special.
**Gaar**: Second is a portrait of David, the very first Hand of Ka!
**Gaar**: Su drew it, though, so you know it's going to be surreal!
**Gaar**: I'm not really into his style, anyway.
**Player**: I know, you like neat stuff like cartoon, right?
**Gaar**: That's right!
**Gaar**: But I'm super into David and I know Su, so I'm debating whether to bid on it.
**Gaar**: The third is an enchanted copy of the Ka Bible with Arcana!
**Gaar**: The arcana will read the Ka Bible for you, so even an illiterate can understand!
**Player**: Don't tell me you're illiterate?
**Gaar**: You gotta be joking, bro.
**Gaar**: How's an agent going to get intel if he's illiterate?
**Gaar**: Anyway, which one should I bid on?
**Gaar**: You know I have problem making a decision.

**-Gold Grail - 700 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: The grail? Why?
**Player**: For collection or drinking?
**Gaar**: I don't use glass when I drink.
**Gaar**: But would something made of gold be sturdier?
**Gaar**: Well, it should clang nicely when I toss it into the cabinet.
**Gaar**: I got it, I can eat ice slush out of it!
**Gaar**: Okay, this is it!

**-Portrait of David - 500 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: I really want to get it.
**Gaar**: But I'm worried that Su would draw a really weird David!
**Player**: There is that...
**Gaar**: Then again, my mother seems to dig colorful abstract paintings.
**Gaar**: I can get it for her.

**-Ka Bible - 900 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: Ah, so you're feeling the same too!
**Player**: You're not giving it to an illiterate buddy, are you?
**Gaar**: Heck no!
**Gaar**: It's for my insomnia!
**Player**: ...
**Gaar**: When I read the Scriptures myself, I'd go from reading to singing out loud and get pumped.
**Gaar**: So in this case, I need someone else to read it to me.
**Gaar**: I expect the enchanted recital to put me deeply asleep!

**Addiction**

**-Intro**

**Gaar**: Where's everyone else?
**Gaar**: I'm in your bar right now.
**Gaar**: Help me come up with a plan! I'm really worried!
**Player**: I'm coming!
*Scene transition*
**Player**: You're cheerful normally, so why the long face today? What gives?
**Gaar**: I got a girl cardsharp in my house.
**Player**: Girl cardsharp? You got a sister?
**Gaar**: It's my mother.
**Gaar**: She doesn't like 'mother cardsharp' and insisted on 'girl cardsharp'.
**Gaar**: A card table to her is like Prince Charming with foie gras and red wine in hand.
**Gaar**: She quit singing and dancing and won't go anywhere else.
**Gaar**: I asked her what happened to her drive and energy as a girl?
**Gaar**: She said, 'Four 2's! Yes!... Uh, what did you just said, son?'
**Gaar**: It's getting quite excited at the card table.
**Player**: Heh, looks like she's addicted to playing cards.
**Gaar**: Eh, whatever makes her happy.
**Gaar**: But she promised to go on a trip with me...
**Gaar**: Actually, we've been to almost everywhere in the world, so I can't think a particular place to go.
**Gaar**: Do you think it's better if I leave the girl cardsharp at home?
**Player**: Well, I think she should go out. It's not good cooped up in the house all the time.
**Gaar**: But where should we go...?

**-The Rupor Show - 500 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: You know, that's practically an expedition into the unknown.
**Gaar**: As a White Cape, I don't mind infiltrating Never Isle.
**Gaar**: But adding my mother into the mix...
**Gaar**: That's like me dragging her straight to Hell.
**Gaar**: That's just not my idea of an adventure.
**Player**: But she's not White Cape, so they shouldn't bother her.
**Player**: Plus, nobody on Never Isle knows her.
**Gaar**: Oh, they do.
**Gaar**: That punk-ass Rupol designed quite a few of my outfits before.
**Gaar**: My mother taught her sister to sing once.
**Gaar**: So that won't be hard on her.
**Gaar**: But will they let her stay on Never Isle, giving her drink and playing cards with her all day.
**Gaar**: Then write my boss Alvin to ask when is Gaar coming to pick her up?
**Gaar**: Pick her up? I'm the one who's in a pickle!
**Player**: Forget it, then. Safety first.
**Gaar**: Well, I still like the suggestion, though!
**Gaar**: I should take my mother on a show like Rupor's!
**Gaar**: Thanks!

**-The Elysiann Ball - 700 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: Come on now, you need an invitation to get into high-society functions like that.
**Gaar**: Wait, are you telling me to steal two invites and bring her along?
**Gaar**: We'll caught, probably when the dancing is getting fun.
**Player**: I can take you to Mike. He runs the Elysiann Chamber of Commerce.
**Player**: He should be able to get two tickets for you.
**Gaar**: Cool! I can pay. How much...
**Player**: I'm tight with him so probably nothing.
**Gaar**: He has mounting debt, you sure he couldn't use some cash?
**Player**: So you know him?
**Gaar**: Not acquainted, but I know a lot more about him than you do.
**Gaar**: Because that fellow is on the top of my list to investigate.
**Gaar**: Not just a Gyee, but also has a... brother who I shall not reveal the name of.
**Gaar**: Worry not, it's me looking into him, not the White Cape.
**Gaar**: Honestly, I'd very much like to be friends with the tycoon.
**Gaar**: Hook me up, man!

**-Red Harbor Tavern - 900 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: Don't be ridiculous, nothing interesting happens in the Red Harbor Tavern.
**Player**: On the contrary, that's the hotspot for card players!
**Player**: It's got all kind of avid cardsharps, perfect for her to test her skills.
**Player**: And learn a lot of new games too.
**Gaar**: That sounds great! We get out of the house and she can still play!
**Gaar**: Red Harbor Tavern it is!
**Gaar**: Hotspot, you said? Well, that's where I'm taking her!
**Gaar**: But if she ends up not wanting to leave, you're helping me drag her out!
**Player**: No problem!

**Homecoming**

**-Intro**

**Gaar**: Hey, bud!
**Gaar**: The weather's so nice today. You're planning on taking the ship out for a trip, right?
**Gaar**: Heh heh, you wouldn't mind taking me for a ride, would you?
**Player**: I'd be happy to!
*Scene transition*
**Player**: Where to this time?
**Gaar**: Back home!
**Gaar**: Destination: Tokaktek!
**Player**: Didn't you mention the chief dislikes you?
**Gaar**: Yeah, that's why I only go back once a year!
**Player**: So you're going home empty-handed?
**Gaar**: No, I got my gun with me.
**Player**: I mean, shouldn't you take something back for him?
**Gaar**: Huh, you're right. I should bring back a gift or two.
**Player**: Put some thoughts into gifts for the chief to welcome you again.
**Player**: Even if he doesn't, your fellow townspeople should.
**Gaar**: Okay, I'll go get some gifts then!
**Player**: All right. What are you buying and where?
**Gaar**: Uh...
**Gaar**: ... Toy plush?
**Gaar**: Loudspeakers!
**Gaar**: ... Baked potatoes? Machine guns?
**Player**: Yeah, those are what you want...
**Player**: Why don't I offer suggestions?
**Gaar**: Sure, indecisive people like me love people like you!
**Gaar**: So, what should I give them?

**-Books - 700 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: Books?
**Player**: You guys don't interact with outsiders often, do you?
**Player**: They will learn how other people live through reading.
**Player**: And a lot of the novels are interesting to read.
**Gaar**: Our writing is different, buddy.
**Gaar**: They wouldn't be able to read books, anyway.
**Player**: True...
**Player**: But you can teach them to read!
**Player**: That way you can stay longer too!
**Gaar**: Yeah, that's a smart idea, dude!
**Player**: The problem, of course, is teaching them literacy.
**Gaar**: No, it's not, since I don't think I could teach them myself!
**Gaar**: Come on, take me to get some books!

**-Tech Devices - 500 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: ... Tech stuff?
**Gaar**: I get the feeling you think my hometown is backwards and behind the time.
**Player**: Uh...
**Gaar**: We're very close to Red Harbor.
**Gaar**: We can buy any new product we want.
**Gaar**: Some like it, some don't.
**Gaar**: It's not they never saw the new stuff, just that they shouldn't rely on gadgets.
**Gaar**: It's rather silly to let those things replace work and control your life.
**Player**: I see. How about something else then?
**Gaar**: Nah, I don't want to choose anymore!
**Gaar**: Let's go with this!
**Gaar**: We're not buying tools but toys!
**Gaar**: Come on, buddy, we're going to Red Harbor!

**-Cocktails - 900 Intimacy**

**Gaar**: Hey, how come I didn't think of that?
**Gaar**: You have wonderful wines I'm sure they'll just love!
**Gaar**: Heh, you wouldn't mind if I cleaned Hottie Bar out, right?
**Player**: What? Of course I'd mind!
**Gaar**: That's all right, put all the bar tabs on me!
**Gaar**: I'll pay you later!
**Gaar**: I won't leave you hanging, I'm not Mike!
**Player**: ... Fine, but don't make too much of a mess!
**Gaar**: No problem, we'll help tidy up the place!
**Gaar**: My townspeople really respect those who could make them happy!
**Gaar**: Maybe after they had our wine, they'd call us Master Winemaker!
**Gaar**: Sir Master Winemaker Gallequenci Solletulan and Sir Master Winemaker {NickName}... I like that!
**Gaar**: Take flight to our coronation as esteemed, glorious master winemakers!

### Trifle

**This section contains spoilers for the Trifle. Please use a desktop browser for the best viewing experience.**

**Drama Agent**

'Hey buddy, you free today? Could you do me a favor... and be an extra? It might be a little bit dangerous, but... I'll buy you dinner! And awesome intelligence for free!'
Don't tell me he's going to disguise as a Shadow believer to spy on them. Should I go with him?

**-Part 1**

*Scene - A forest*
*Gaar and Brian are standing next to a fallen Shadowcult Swordsmen*
**Gaar**: You're here at last. We've been waiting for you.
**Player**: Isn't he a squad captain for the White Cape?
**Gaar**: Yes. Allow me to introduce him...
**Brian**: It's all right, we know each other.
**Brian**: I don't know why you'd ask for help from a Never Isle guy, Gaar.
**Brian**: But I must warn you, I don't like having enemy watch my back.
*Choice - Shadow is the White Cape's enemy. - 8 Intimacy*
**Player**: What a coincidence, me too.
**Gaar**: I don't expect anything less.
*Choice - Nobody here cared whether you like it or not.*
**Gaar**: Enough, you two.
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Gaar**: Guys, we're on the same team today, and it's going straight to the lair of the Shadow!
**Gaar**: We won't survive if we don't work together.
**Brian**: If you know that, why still risk having him?
**Gaar**: Because I trust him and he's useful.
**Gaar**: Don't worry, he wouldn't have come alone if he harbored malicious intent.
**Brian**: You're in charge of the operation. I'm just offering personal opinions.
**Gaar**: How about you, any comment on your White Cape cohorts?
*Choice - There's two of you so no comment... - 5 Intimacy*
**Gaar**: Now we're starting to look like a team!
*Choice - You sure Brian won't take me in after all this?*
**Gaar**: The old man is asking you questions, Brian.
**Brian**: You'll be safe, especially today.
**Gaar**: Let me translate that. What he meant was...
**Gaar**: He won't just not take you in, but will ensure the Shadows won't, either.
**Gaar**: He does what he promises, just trust him.
**Player**: Okay.
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Brian**: Now then, back to topic.
**Gaar**: We're infiltrating an Shadowcult base that has a Blood Array left during the Alien Gush.
**Player**: I remember that kind of array. It was recorded by the Arcana Academy on Never Isle...
**Gaar**: Yes. But to activate such an array, it requires a key artifact.
**Gaar**: The artifact is a crystal forged with crimson-red snake scales and is dubbed the Serpent Blood Crystal.
**Gaar**: Our objective is find this red crystal and steal it.
**Gaar**: Player and I will impersonate Shadowcult swordsmen taking in a White Cape prisoner of war.
**Brian**: Let me guess, I'm the captive?
**Gaar**: Yeah, you're best suited for that.
**Brian**: Hit me a couple times before we go in to make it look good.
**Gaar**: It's not necessary. I checked and those fools don't pay attention to details.
**Gaar**: Just mess up your hair and put some mud in it will do.
**Gaar**: Then I'll tie you up with a rope.
**Brian**: Okay.
**Player**: We're impersonating these two guys lying on the ground?
**Gaar**: Yes. That's start the disguise before going over the script.
*Player and Gaar start stripping the Shadowcult Swordsmen and wearing their armor. Brian turns his back to give the two privacy.*
**Gaar**: Let me go over it first.
**Gaar**: Captain Brian led his unit, fought the Oathblades, lost consciousness after defeat and fell into the river.
**Gaar**: I'm Wilden, a swordsman for the Order. You're Raymond, also a swordsman for Shadowcult.
**Gaar**: You found the captain on your patrol and are taking him back to the base.
**Gaar**: Donnie will then interrogate this White Cape alone.
**Gaar**: We will stand guard while that's going on to prevent rescue attempts.
**Gaar**: After that, it will be our turn to interrogate Old Donnie.
**Gaar**: Everything goes well, we kill him after getting the Serpent Blood Crystal.
**Gaar**: Then impersonate him, walk out under their noses, mission accomplished.
**Gaar**: Any questions?
**Brian**: Have you done homework on the personalities of the two swordsmen before you're impersonating their cronies?
**Player**: Yes, we must be flawless in our disguise, so we can fool the priest named Donnie.
**Gaar**: Easy. I'll tell you about your roles now.
**Gaar**: Player, you'll play a soldier named Raymond, who's not too bright.
**Gaar**: And often spaces out before babbling some nonsense.
**Gaar**: So, you're not just mentally challenged, but somewhat neurotic too.
*Choice - No worries, I got this. - 5 Intimacy*
**Gaar**: Judging by how you react, you're not into the character yet.
**Gaar**: Look at the big white rhino in the sky!'
**Gaar**: Mumble to yourself like that, spew non sequiturs, or just pretend you didn't hear a thing.
**Gaar**: Got it?
**Player**: Boy, I'm scared the rhino will fall down and crash me!
**Gaar**: There you go, perfectly mentally challenged!
*Choice - I'll do my best.*
**Gaar**: Have confidence in yourself, you're an agent now... albeit a temporary one.
**Gaar**: You can reply with non sequitur or pretend you didn't hear.
**Player**: Is it fine if I just don't talk as much?
**Gaar**: No problem.
*Choice - What? Are you talking to me? - 11 Intimacy*
**Gaar**: Yes, that's exactly it!
**Gaar**: You can reply with non sequitur or pretend you didn't hear.
**Gaar**: The real Raymond is much dumber than that!
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Brian**: How do people like that get into Shadowcult?
**Gaar**: His maternal grandfather's brother is John, the Shadowcult Senior Hierophant, and that's how.
**Brian**: Ah, nepotism, I see.
**Gaar**: Also, you caught a flu recently, Raymond. You're congested and sneeze occasionally.
**Gaar**: Here's some tissue. Ball it up and stuff it up your nose.
**Player**: Okay.
**Gaar**: Just don't stress out. This is the easiest character I could find for you!
**Player**: Achoo!
**Brian**: ... It is indeed easier to be the captive.
**Gaar**: Well, I have zero expectation for your acting chop, so you best play yourself!
**Brian**: Okay.
**Gaar**: Me, I'm a talkative, irritable blowhard peon who drinks and gambles!
**Brian**: So you're playing yourself too.
**Gaar**: Shut up, you lowly captive or I'll feed you feces for breakfast!
**Brian**: Humph! Frigging clown.
**Player**: Achoo!
**Gaar**: All right, that's the rehearsal. Good job, you two!
**Gaar**: It's showtime!
*Scene - Shadowcult Base*
*Donnie the priest stands in the middle of a circle, flanked by two witches and two gunmen. There is a small pyramid emitting a glowing light behind them.*
**Gaar**: Look what I got, old Donnie!
**Donnie**: Not bad, a White Cape general.
**Donnie**: But how did you two manage to get the real McCoy?
**Donnie**: How do I know you didn't just nab somebody random and put a costume on him?
**Gaar**: Fool you? Do you think this cannon is real?
**Donnie**: Why wouldn't you take such a dangerous thing?
**Gaar**: If I could take it, I'd be selling it by now without you ever seeing it!
**Gaar**: Don't worry, though, I clogged the barrel with mud and clay!
**Gaar**: The guy wouldn't fire unless he wanted to lose both of his hands.
**Donnie**: All right. What's your name?
**Brian**: You don't need to know.
**Donnie**: I see, still talking tough.
**Gaar**: He wouldn't say anything. Beating, cutting, even pissing in his mouth didn't work.
**Gaar**: Two things to know.
**Gaar**: One: 'You don't deserve it.' Two: 'Do whatever you want.'
**Gaar**: 'I can't move, anyway. Do your worst.'
**Donnie**: Hmm, there aren't many people like that in White Cape.
**Donnie**: I'm curious, how did you two catch him by yourselves?
**Gaar**: I saw he was alone when making my round and immediately charged him!
**Gaar**: The guy responded quickly and got off a shot, but I parried it with my sword!
**Gaar**: All you could hear was a 'clang'!
**Gaar**: The cannonball hit my sword and hurt my arm, knocking me back several steps as dust filled the air!
**Player**: (Cannonball? Doesn't Brian use a laser blaster?)
**Player**: (No way Gaar didn't know Brian carried a laser blaster. Is it an intentional fib?)
**Gaar**: Who am I? With my keen observation, I figured out what he was up to right away!
**Gaar**: I kicked up a cloud of dust as a cover and zig-zagged my way over to him!
**Gaar**: He couldn't see me in the dust and I avoided two cannonballs!
**Gaar**: Then...
**Gaar**: (Whispers) Man, I can't keep making this up. Sneeze!
**Player**: Achoo!
**Gaar**: Quiet!
**Gaar**: How dare you interrupt me when I was getting to the good part?
**Donnie**: All the kid does is brag! Even Raymond couldn't stand listening to this!
**Donnie**: Cannonball? That's clearly a laser blaster!
**Gaar**: Uh, my eyes were red at the time, so I couldn't tell!
**Shadowcult Bystander A**: Hole poked in Wilden's story again!
**Shadowcult Bystander B**: I think he got lucky and found him on the road.
**Gaar**: Shut up, all of you! Found it? Why don't you go and find one too, then?
**Donnie**: It's you who should shut up. I'll ask Raymond now and not a peep from you!
**Donnie**: How did you catch him, Raymond?
*Choice - He snored very loud. - 8 Intimacy*
*No additional dialog*
*Choice - Achoo!*
**Donnie**: Really, your cold hasn't gotten better yet...
**Donnie**: Want to take the helmet off and wipe your nose?
**Gaar**: (Whispers) The geezer is starting to suspect you. Stop sneezing.
**Player**: Ah, that glow over there looks delicious!
**Donnie**: ... You'll get something to eat after we're done.
**Donnie**: Tell me, how did you catch him?
**Player**: Him who? The idiot who's snoring out loud?
*Choice - Ah? Who, me? - 5 Intimacy*
**Donnie**: ... Yes you, Raymond.
**Player**: My name is Raymond.
**Donnie**: ... I want to ask you how you caught him.
**Player**: Him who? The idiot who's snoring out loud?
*Choice - That glow over there looks delicious! - 11 Intimacy*
**Donnie**: ... You'll get something to eat after we're done.
**Donnie**: Tell me, how did you catch him?
**Player**: Him who? The idiot who's snoring out loud?
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Donnie**: That was some loud snores...
**Donnie**: I get it. He was unconscious by the road when you found him, right?
**Gaar**: Told you you're an old fool! How could you believe such a thing?
**Donnie**: Even an idiot is more trustworthy than you!
**Gaar**: Hmph.
**Donnie**: Forget it. You two locked him up first and I'll grill him myself.
**Donnie**: I'll torture the truth out of him.
*Gaar and Player begin to take a hold of Brian*
**Donnie**: Hold it!
**Donnie**: You two have been working. Take a break.
**Donnie**: You two, lock him up.
*The two witches walk up to Brian*
**Brian**: Prepare to die, because more from the Sword of Light is coming for you!
**Gaar**: Bah, you talk tough for someone about to die!
*The two witches take Brian away*
**Gaar**: (Whispers) When he let us lock Brian up, you moved almost as quickly as I did.
**Gaar**: (Whispers) You reacted too quickly, not like how Raymond would, usually.
**Gaar**: (Whispers) Also, I talked too much, so I couldn't mimic the voice perfectly.
**Gaar**: (Whispers) That old fox may be on to us now. Be ready.
**Player**: (Whispers) What should I do?
**Gaar**: (Whispers) His next questions won't be directed at Wilden and Raymond but to test us.
**Gaar**: (Whispers) So, give unconventional response.
*Donnie walks closer to Gaar and Player*
**Donnie**: No one's around now, you can drop the act.
**Player**: !!
**Gaar**: All right, we picked it up by the river.
**Gaar**: No signs of fighting nearby. Might've taken place elsewhere, fell into the river and flowed here.
**Donnie**: Yeah. Wait, why did you go to the river?
**Donnie**: Didn't old senile send you to town this morning and bring back a few boys?
**Donnie**: How did you end up going the other way?
**Gaar**: ... Really?
**Gaar**: Why don't I remember you saying that? Didn't you want us to patrol the river?
**Donnie**: Did you not hear?
**Donnie**: How about you, Raymond?
*All Choices - "I hear snoring." - 5 Intimacy OR "Achoo!" - 5 Intimacy OR "(Tilts head, baffled.)" - 11 Intimacy*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Gaar**: He can't hear you even if you want him to.
**Gaar**: Really, Donnie, you're losing it in your old age.
**Gaar**: If you let me go to town, I'd be drinking and playing cards right now.
**Gaar**: And that little boy isn't enough? You sure you can handle it?
**Donnie**: Yeah, like you've never seen me do it before.
**Player**: (The Shadows are despicable...)
**Player**: (Patience, the plan comes first, not time for the reveal yet...)
**Donnie**: All right, I must be senile. A punk like you would be to lazy for patrol duty, anyway.
**Donnie**: Speaking of which, how was the kid I sent you last night?
**Gaar**: ... Can we not talk about it in front of Raymond?
**Donnie**: Don't you always take him for an idiot? He won't understand, anyway.
**Donnie**: Let's not talk about that. Has your mother's condition improved?
**Gaar**: ...
*Gaar's hand trembles slightly in anger.*
**Donnie**: Why aren't you talking?
**Gaar**: You are freaking senile! My mother's been dead for a long time! Are you mocking me?
**Player**: (Gosh, Gaar is really going out of his way to make this work...)
**Donnie**: Oh, sorry, I'm addled, I forgot.
**Donnie**: Since I got a minute, we got to interrogate the White Cape.
**Donnie**: He said that more Sword of Light are coming. We should be on guard.
**Donnie**: Come with the senile old man and help keep a lookout.
**Gaar**: ... Got it. So annoying...
*Gaar leaves with Donnie*
**Gaar**: Don't just stand there, keep up!
**Player**: Achoo!
*Player follows them to Brian. Brian is held with Shadow Flux in front of a glowing pyramid.*
**Donnie**: What are you two doing the old man? Aren't you suppose to guard the door?
**Gaar**: Everyone knows Donnie doesn't like to be disturbed when he's torturing people.
**Gaar**: So rest assured, no one will come save you.
**Donnie**: What?!
**Gaar**: Oh, don't move, and watch your back.
**Donnie**: Who... are you, really?
**Gaar**: Shut up. You don't get to ask questions. Don't you know the rules at your age?
**Donnie**: ...
**Gaar**: Untie Brian, then press that button on left side of the crystal behind him.
**Player**: Okay.
*Player frees Brian*
**Gaar**: You, over there.
*Gaar restrains Donnie using the same device Brian was in moments ago*
**Gaar**: This damn shell is too heavy. Let's change back.
*Gaar and Player take off their disguises*
**Gaar**: First of all, I am a Kaism Disciple, and you know we don't like killing.
**Gaar**: We just came to inquire about something. Killing you would just tip people off.
**Donnie**: What do you want to know?
**Gaar**: Did I say you could speak?
**Donnie**: ...
**Gaar**: Nice performance!
**Gaar**: The next time you say a word, I'll cut a part off you.
**Gaar**: Open your mouth and let me feed you this.
**Donnie**: What...?
*Donnie wants to ask something but swallows his words when he recalls Gaar's warning.*
*Then he reluctantly opens his mouth, waiting for Gaar to drug him.*
**Gaar**: Good, that's better. This is, of course, your reward.
*Gaar shoves a pill into Donnie's mouth and forces him to swallow.*
**Gaar**: Go to the Lacus Bar in Helin and tell the keeper you're look for Gaar. You'll find me.
**Gaar**: If you don't want the drug to kick in, give me information once a week. If it's useful, you get to live.
*Donnie shakes his head in horror.*
**Gaar**: All right, you're going to break soon, so I'll start asking questions.
**Gaar**: First question. What do the arrays here do?
**Donnie**: Drain and deliver blood... to a central location.
**Gaar**: A central location? Where?
**Donnie**: I don't know... It should be the center of an array.
**Donnie**: This is a compound array. Where we're at is just one of many small arrays.
**Donnie**: The heart of all these outer minor arrays is the center of the compound array.
**Gaar**: Putting that much fresh blood in the middle? What are you doing?
**Donnie**: ... I don't know, maybe to gain power, or to resurrect an ancient force or monster.
**Donnie**: Perhaps to summon a magical creature... Anything is possible.
**Gaar**: That sounds pretty awesome.
**Gaar**: But if I can find where the three arrays are located, their midpoint should be the heart, right?
**Donnie**: No, not necessarily... It has to be working arrays.
**Brian**: I see. Because so many arrays are actually illusions?
**Donnie**: Is it true that no one was in charge of this working arrays before the order came down?
**Donnie**: You'll be able to determine if your own array is real or fake.
**Donnie**: But I'm afraid once the real arrays are up and running, it's too late to stop them.
**Brian**: Shadows are truly a handful.
**Gaar**: We White Cape copied the array but they haven't worked. Do you know why?
**Donnie**: ... Probably copied it wrong?
**Gaar**: Oh? Are you sure you want to live?
**Donnie**: I get it, you must use the Shadow Flux!
*Gaar smiles at Donnie.*
**Donnie**: ... All right. I need an artifact called the 'Serpent Blood Crystal'.
**Gaar**: Sure enough, the savvier you are, the more you hesitate to lie.
*Gaar takes the Serpent Blood Crystal from Donnie's pocket.*
**Gaar**: Is this it?
**Donnie**: Yeah, that's it!
**Donnie**: The blood crystal is yours. Please spare me. I will offer information to you every week!
**Gaar**: Well, seeing you're honest, I'll also tell you the truth.
**Gaar**: The drug I gave you...
**Gaar**: Was actually just a rainbow candy.
**Donnie**: Really? Thank you, thank you!
*Gaar smiles at Donnie.*
**Donnie**: ... Wait, why would you tell me?
**Donnie**: Is it... because you don't plan to let me live?
**Gaar**: You guessed it.
**Donnie**: No, please reconsider!
**Donnie**: Even if there was no drug, I would still give you information! I'm valuable! Please let me go!
**Gaar**: Let you go?
**Gaar**: Tell me, who could spare the fourteen children you killed?
**Brian**: Fourteen children?! They're just children!
**Brian**: Do you not feel remorse?!
**Donnie**: Remorse? Yeah, it has just about tortured me to death...
**Donnie**: I had just joined the Shadowcult.
**Donnie**: After that, I read the Shadow Scriptures every day, baptized in Shadow Flux, and from then on...
**Donnie**: It brought me nothing but joy. No more regrets, guilt, or damn morals to bind me!
**Donnie**: You White Cape and agents, don't tell me you never got your share of blood on your hands?
**Donnie**: Isn't it inevitable to feel guilt and remorse? Don't you feel tormented?
**Donnie**: Why not join us? Throw yourself in the embrace of the Shadow and let unbridled joy replace your pain!
**Gaar**: Are you finished?
**Gaar**: Do you know why I kept quiet?
**Gaar**: Because I was counting how many sentences you spoke.
**Gaar**: It was twelve.
**Donnie**: What are you going to do...?
**Gaar**: That's thirteen!
**Gaar**: Guys, for your tummy's sakes, you might want leave us alone for a while, eh?
**Brian**: Hurry up, we can't stay here too long.
*Brian and Player turn and walk slightly away*
**Donnie**: What are you doing? No, no!
**Gaar**: Fourteen. Perfect.
*Gaar seems to cut off Donnie's tongue.*
**Donnie**: Agh! Agh!
**Gaar**: Thirteen left.
**Gaar**: Didn't I mention believers of Ka don't like killing?
**Gaar**: I did, but killing Shadows isn't killing. It's purifying.
**Donnie**: Agh, agh!
**Gaar**: Twelve left.
*Gaar cuts into Donnie's body as his scream and the gush of blood echo...*
**Brian**: Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?
**Player**: It's all right.
**Player**: But I don't think we need to stay away. We've all been in battles. There's nothing new to see.
**Brian**: It's not for us but him.
**Brian**: He didn't like others to see it because he wasn't sure if it was right.
**Player**: If he was unsure, why do it?
**Brian**: He knew Donnie deserved the punishment, but not sure whether he should be the one to dish it out.
**Brian**: But I don't see anything wrong in that. Since he has Donnie, who else could do it?
**Gaar**: Guys, I've decided I'll borrow his clothes and face!
*Gaar shows off his new disguise*
**Player**: It's as real as it gets!
**Gaar**: This is how I make my living, after all.
**Gaar**: Quick, you two put on the Shadowcult swordsmen's armor, and I'll take you out!
**Brian**: Okay.
*Brian and Player put on the armor and the three begin to walk out of the base. On their way out, they pass some Shadowcult members*
**Gaar**: I just interrogated the White Cape commander and found out this guy is Brian, a highly ranked member.
**Gaar**: Now I got to head out and verify some details on scene before I can submit a report.
**Gaar**: Wilden, Raymond, you two come with me.
**Player**: Achoo!
**Gaar**: Everyone else, stay here to thwart any White Cape rescue attempt.
**Shadowcultists**: Yes!
**Gaar**: (Whispers) Oh no, oh no!
*Gaar sees Rita walking towards them*
**Gaar**: (Whispers) Why is the witch here?!
**Player**: (Whispers) This is not good...
**Gaar**: (Whispers) Be ready, guys! We're in trouble if we screw this up!
**Gaar**: Forgive me, Lady Rita, I didn't know you were coming!
**Rita**: You're too thoughtful, Old Donnie. I just want to stroll around and check on the magic arrays.
**Rita**: You don't mind, do you?
**Gaar**: No problem, of course. Are you not at ease even after all I've done for the sect?
**Rita**: I trust you, but you look rushed... Are you going somewhere?
**Gaar**: Yeah, today. Two of my guys caught a White Cape general named Brian.
**Rita**: Brian? Are you sure?
**Gaar**: Absolutely.
**Gaar**: I just finished interrogating him and found out the White Cape fought the Oathblades by the Linxi River.
**Gaar**: He fell unconscious after being defeated and was captured by my men.
**Gaar**: From what Brian said, the old man wants to take these two men to investigate the scene.
**Rita**: All right. But why don't you keep your head up when you speak?
**Gaar**: The old man hurt me last night.
**Rita**: Does it hurt? Look up and let me see.
**Gaar**: No worries, just a scratch. No, don't look.
**Rita**: ...
*Rita makes an attempt to grab Gaar but Gaar quickly evades her grasp*
**Gaar**: Help, this woman wants to kill me!
**Gaar**: Don't just stand there, protect me!
**Shadowcultist**: What? Lady Rita wants to kill you? How can that be?
**Rita**: That Donnie is a fake! Listen up, I want him alive!
**Shadowcultist**: Who the heck should I listen to? What do we do?
**Gaar**: I'm by your side all time. Couldn't you tell if I was fake?
**Brian**: Rita indeed intended to kill Donnie just now!
**Shadowcultist**: Why would Lady Rita want to kill you, Reverend Donnie?
**Gaar**: Sigh, it's a sin, a sin...
**Gaar**: Heck, I might as well tell you the secret now.
**Gaar**: Rita and I slept with the old man before!
**Player**: (Very sneaky, Gaar!)
**Shadowcultist**: So he's killing witnesses to cover it up!
**Shadowcultist**: Can't believe the ravishing Lady Rita had a fling with Old Donnie...
**Gaar**: Don't you know Rita is rather loose?
**Gaar**: Not just the old man, but Old Jack and Old Ed too.
**Gaar**: She wasn't forgiving of our old age and even wanted all of us at once!
**Shadowcultist**: Geez, was she wild or what?!
**Gaar**: Focus, will you? Jack and Ed probably got killed by the Oathblades!
**Gaar**: This is Rita manipulating others to do her dirty deeds for her!
**Rita**: Told you already, this Donnie is an imposter!
**Rita**: Catch him and everything will be clear.
**Gaar**: I knew one day you'd turn on me, you she-devil. I just didn't think today would be the day!
**Gaar**: She just tried to manipulate you into killing me and pit us against each other!
**Gaar**: Now all of you will finally realize it!
**Gaar**: She will silence you, too, sooner or later!
**Shadowcultist**: So, what should we do?
**Player**: No, Raymond don't want to die! Achoo! She-devil should die!
**Gaar**: We got to gang up on her! Killing Rita is the only way for us to survive!
*The Shadowcultist rush to aid Gaar*
**Rita**: Ah, a worthy opponent. I like this.
**Gaar**: Come back, Wilden and Raymond, it's dangerous!
*Rita summons four shadow demons*
**Shadowcultist**: What do we do now, Reverend Donnie?
**Gaar**: Try to break through, that's our only chance!
**Gaar**: (Whispers) You two hold back, let them go first.
**Gaar**: Charge!
*No one moves*
**Gaar**: What happened to you?
**Shadowcultist**: You didn't charge, either, Reverend Donnie.
**Rita**: Come at me if you got the guts!
**Gaar**: It's okay. Focus, everyone, and let's do it again!
**Gaar**: Charge!
*Only Brian and Player charge Rita*
**Gaar**: Crap!
*Rita dispells Brian's and Player's disguises*
**Player**: Damn, we've been discovered!
**Shadowcultist**: Isn't this that the captured White Cape commander?!
**Brian**: ...
**Rita**: Oh, it's you, Player!
**Rita**: Now, who could be so cute as to invite both you and Brian?
**Rita**: Is that you, Gaar?
*Gaar reveals himself*
**Gaar**: We meet again, old bat.
**Rita**: Talk is cheap. I ought to cut your tongue off and pickle it in a jar.
**Rita**: Take them alive!
**Gaar**: Yeah, I actually got something extra for you!
**Gaar**: No one moves or I'll set it off.
**Gaar**: Not only do I have explosives on me, I stuffed the box with them.
**Gaar**: If it blows, we'll all die.
**Rita**: ... Don't move...
**Gaar**: You two leave. I have a plan.
**Player**: But why can't we leave together?
**Gaar**: Hey, stupid, you should go. If she hits me with a fireball, we'll all done for.
**Gaar**: I have to watch this witch. Go.
*Choice - Let's go! - 15 Intimacy*
**Brian**: OK.
**Brian**: I'll wait for you at the rendezvous.
*Choice - Let's kill them together! - 11 Intimacy*
**Gaar**: Stop fussing, I'm the one in charge here!
**Gaar**: You're questioning my decision and ruining my plan.
**Brian**: Come on, he's right.
**Brian**: Drawing this out will just attract many more Shadows and make it harder for him to escape.
**Gaar**: Thank God, someone got it.
**Player**: OK, stay alive. I'll wait for you at Hottie Bar.
*Choice - What do you think, Brian? - 8 Intimacy*
**Brian**: Now go.
**Brian**: We should listen, since Gaar is responsible for the operation.
**Brian**: Follow his orders if you trust him.
**Gaar**: So you don't believe even me?
**Player**: OK, stay alive. I'll wait for you at Hottie Bar.
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Gaar**: Rest assured, I'm destined for greatness.
**Brian**: Take care.
**Rita**: Make way for them.
*The demons move aside and Brian and Player escape*
**Gaar**: This should be it, they should be far enough by now, right?
**Rita**: Yeah. Got my Shadow Shield ready too.
*Rita places a shield on herself but leaves everyone else exposed*
**Gaar**: You alone?
**Gaar**: See, the old bat didn't care if you live or die.
**Rita**: That's right, no one but me will live today.
**Gaar**: Ha, think you could block my explosives with that lame shield?
**Gaar**: Did you think I planned to survive when I showed the explosives?
**Gaar**: It's more than worth it to trade myself for all these monsters and a witch like you!
**Rita**: ... Think about it, do you really want to leave your mother alone in this world?
**Gaar**: You did your homework on me, I see.
**Gaar**: But you're wrong. My mother will be proud of me.
**Gaar**: Allow me to end your wretched existence with her favorite Ka Bible.
**Gaar**: 'Good man roamed amongst spirits...'
**Gaar**: 'His kindness seen weak by the foolish, his integrity seen stubborn by the evil...'
**Gaar**: 'He bled righteousness to the last drop.'
**Gaar**: 'Behold, those who mock, shame, persecute, and slaughter his people...'
**Gaar**: 'I shall damn them with the plague, draw their blood with my sword, and have beasts feast upon their flesh.'
**Gaar**: 'When they are doomed, they will know my name is Ka!'
*Gaar grabs the fuse.*
*The area is engulfed in a bright light*
**Rita**: Damn, it's a flash grenade!
**Gaar**: I like how you got nervous there, old bat!
**Rita**: Where are you? Come out!
**Gaar**: Why should I? I can't beat you.
**Gaar**: Yay, I'm off work! Time to go home. Bye!
*The bright light fades away and Gaar is gone*
**Rita**: One day I'll make you pay!
*Scene - A forest*
**Brian**: The Shadowcult base is still uneventful.
**Player**: You sure he'll be okay?
**Brian**: Nothing is sure in this world...
**Brian**: But I got a hunch he's not in any danger.
**Gaar**: Your hunch is correct.
**Player**: Gaar?
**Brian**: How are you doing?
**Gaar**: This is great, I didn't bring any real explosives, just flash grenades on me!
**Gaar**: Ha, fooled you all!
**Player**: Well, good job!
**Brian**: Are your eyes okay?
**Gaar**: I'm fine, I got goggles.
**Gaar**: Okay, mission complete. Brian and I are heading back!
**Gaar**: First, I'll take the blood crystal. If you're ever back on Never Isle, I'll get you one, too!
**Player**: Is that okay? Aren't you a White Cape? Won't helping Never Isle lose your job?
**Gaar**: It's all good. The worst scenario is getting scolded by that old fart Alvin again!
**Gaar**: We're out. See you!
**Player**: All right, see you!
*Gaar and Brian leave*
**Gaar**: Roar! I'm off work!
**Gaar**: Wanna go discoing, Brian?
**Brian**: No.
**Gaar**: Okay, how about a glass of wine?
**Brian**: ... Turn your report in first.
**Gaar**: How boring.
*Scene ends*
