Yesod — Episode 2Location: The Library - Floor of Technological SciencesRoland(Servant)Damn, check out how orderly these books are organized. The compulsion is almost scaring me at this point.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland1"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Your clothes are still slovenly.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod1"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)(He straightens Roland’s attire once again.)Roland(Servant)I appreciate it, but it feels kinda awkward to be honest.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland2"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Proper attitude of the mind begins with a well-conducted body.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod3"Roland(Servant)Well, I guess I should say thanks.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland3"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)What is your business this time?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod4"Roland(Servant)Nothing unusual. Got some books to deliver, and some questions to ask.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland4"Roland(Servant)Heard from Malkuth that the librarians here used to be humans long ago. Is that true?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland5"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)…It is.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod5"Roland(Servant)Were you all seasoned brawlers in your past lives, then? Like the ringleaders of Syndicates?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland6"Roland(Servant)Although, my intuition as a Fixer is telling me otherwise.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland7"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Your observation would be correct. None of us lived such a violent life.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod6"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Save for a couple of exceptions, that is.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod7"Roland(Servant)Knew it. How are you so skillful at dealing with guests, though?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland8"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)It’s thanks to the books. We gain the powers of the previous guests through their books.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod8"Roland(Servant)Oh, so that’s why you guys seemed to grow sorta stronger with every book I gave you.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland9"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)In the Library, books act as a source of power. Emotions can do the same.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod9"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Through the books, we can imbue our own bodies with the senses and strengths that were engraved in other’s bodies.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod10"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Moreover, the Library can amplify the emotions of its denizens; it acts upon visitors and residents alike.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod11"Roland(Servant)Wow, these “books” are a lot more impressive than I thought.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland10"Roland(Servant)Heck, they might even be better than the surgeries and tools most workshops have to offer. Information is one thing, but this could be a real moneymaker.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland11"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)You think in secular terms.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod12"Roland(Servant)Call it the pathetically tearful survival instincts of a man who’s lived most of his life in poverty, will ya?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland12"Roland(Servant)Anyways, that’s all for my questions. Thanks for your kind answers.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland13"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Don’t mistake this for kindness.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod13"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)I do not particularly think highly of you. You’re nothing more than Angela’s little lapdog.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod14"Roland(Lapdog)What? Hey, that’s rude! You know I didn’t take this job by my choice.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland14"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Does that necessarily exempt you from guiltiness, however?Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod15"Yesod(Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences)Now, if you’re done with your errands, kindly take your leave now.Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_yesod16"Roland(Lapdog)That little piece of !#@$!#…Audio: "ch8_Yesod_ep2_roland15"
