"Fine night, fine night. It is excellent to have a visitor."
"Feel free to take a gander at my shiny goblets. But you must be thirsty, everyone seems to be these days. Would you like some milk?"
—————————————
|
"You never had milk before? Or, do you not like it? You could always try new things, you know."
—————————————
|
"I was hoping...you would taste some and tell me what it's like..." "It's been such a long time that I have forgotten how it felt." "Oh. I can't taste a thing. Don't know why I still stock up on it. Might be a habit."
—————————————
|
"Here you go. Please drink all of it."
"..."
(The milk is hot, you could barely touch it at first. The liquid seems to taste of clean, warm bone. It is heated through and through to the bottom of the goblet.)
"How was it?"
—————————————
|
"..."
"Oh yeah! Uh..I think I saw more than some...They'd be eating all the candles we've got if nobody's here to do something soon!" "And hey, they absolutely hate fire! But you see, no matter how hard I have tried to get them on fire but..but it's almost as if they're fire-proof or something — and they eat candles! Little buggers ate all of mine and—"
—————————————
|
"..."
"Yes, yes! Um, you probably got here straight from the corridor right? From the Crypt Corridor, to the left is Castanets village, to the right is the spiral staircase..If you go up enough, you will reach the candles room, where all our candles are kept. That is where I saw them last...The bugs."
"They were trying so hard to get in! I don't think they could do it, though."
"Well...Before those strangers appeared anyway." "Speaking of, I think there's something going on in Castanets Village."
"I...uh, I'm not sure how much time has passed since I left the vilage." "I hope my friends are doing fine..."
—————————————
|
"You seem to like this. Must be really good huh! Now I'm kind of jealous!" "Hm. we only have enough for one, last goblet."
"..."
"Um.."
"This might sounds like I'm asking a lot, but—" "C-can I have some of the gasoline you have there? Just a tiny bit, pour it on me..for I must burn more."
"...and I'll give you the last of the milk! Promise!"
"..Please?"
—————————————
|
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! That really hit the spot!"
"Thank you, thank you! All of my worries just-just...burn away! You know?"
*huff* "Okay! wait a moment,"
—————————————
|
"Man! that was amazing. Well... all you have to do is a little bit of gasoline!" "If I still had my own gas-stash, I'd drink it to be even more burn-able! Have you tried it?"
—————————————
|
"That's unfortunate. Well, I do hope you find a way to be easily set on fire soon!"
"In the meantime, this might help you feel better."
—————————————
|
*sobs*
"..!"
"Thanks goodness! I thought you're g-gone!" "You were out like a candle! Are you all right? What...What happened?" —————————————
|
"I am glad you're all fine..! I-I was about to go jump into a river!!" "Milk! And to think I used to remember how sweet it was..." "To hell with the memories! I'm not stocking up on milk again, I-" —————————————
|
"That did not looked like a good time.." *sobs* —————————————
|
"Silent Cities eh? Haven't heard of that in a long time."
—————————————
|
"Next time you see Clovers, tell the wretch to stop stealing my gasoline and candles!"
"Well..I guess I could've stopped that by myself..but-"
—————————————
|
"I, uh, have nothing for you though — except milk,"
—————————————
|
"Oh yeah, sometime I just have to remind myself to breathe deeply in order to burn properly." "For you though, you'll know you are successful...at reminding yourself of life, and of yourself, when you yawn."
"..."
"Hey, you want some more milk?"
—————————————
|
"Oh man. I wish I'm that well-prepared. You know the one day you go out without an umbrella and it always rain?"
"Yeah, like that. Always happen to me though — my flames always get put-out by the sudden downpour!"
"..."
"Hey, do you want some more milk?"
—————————————
|
"Everyone who's aware of the place says it's a peaceful and a better place, but who knows, really?"
"..."
"Hey, do you want some more milk?"
—————————————
|
"Ha! You think there's some people who tries to travel there just to find out?" "...Could be destination for a lifetime."
"..."
"Hey, do you want some more milk?"
—————————————
|
"Good for you. Uh, I really meant that in a good way! It would be nice to know that somebody out there thinks you are better alive.."
"..."
"Hey, do you want some more milk?"
—————————————
|
"I like sounds...gasoline feels amazing and I remember how much I liked milk even though I can't taste it anymore..." "They sure are the things of wonder."
"I hope someday I will know why that memory reminds me to keep living the life."
"..."
"Oh yeah, and if I am dead I wouldn't be able to hear Violet anymore! Now that there is a reason..."
"Or it's just milk, milk COULD be the reason to live. Well, it used to, for me at least." "..Even though now I can not remember why. But anyway, It's just so happen that I have the milk..right here."
"So, you want some more of that?"
—————————————
|
"Violet's my dear friend! "The one with the strange instrument that makes noise!" "The one and only! around here, at least. ...You two haven't met?"
—————————————
|
"Oh. That's too bad."
"..."
"I wish I could go and see Violet in person, but look at all these strangers... and the bugs.... I don't think that's a wise decision." —————————————
|
"Well, Violet..um, asked something from me way back, ...but I can't go there. Not now." —————————————
|
"Whoa! Thank you so much!"
"Finally I can sleep without worries! Here you go." "Please give this to Violet." —————————————
|
"They were everywhere! ....I don't know what they intended to do, but I heard that now they're headed for Castanets... Listen to this, one of them asked me for my flame, and so I gave it, then EVERY one of them came to me and just take it without asking! That was really rude! and I was too nervous to do anything..."
"I wouldn't trust them."
—————————————
|
"Castanets...is the nearest village." "From the Crypt Corridor, you go left."
