The Carnival — Episode 1 (Stage: 30001)Location: A Den of SweepersBeta(The Carnival)Taste of Sweepers never cease to surprise?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta1 (2)"Gamma(The Carnival)Always disgusting in new ways? Never realized there could be so many flavors of filth.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma1"Beta(The Carnival)Reminded of taste of Fixer we ate. Was soft? Was happy.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta2"Gamma(The Carnival)Hard to eat, but tasty? Produced good silk. Was satisfied. Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma2"Alpha(The Carnival)Must feed on Sweepers for another week.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha1"Beta(The Carnival)Because we must spin more silk?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta3 (2)"Alpha(The Carnival)Index gave such Prescript.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha2"Gamma(The Carnival)What if Mother of Sweepers move before we finish.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma3"Alpha(The Carnival)We hunt. And feast? Must weave cloth.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha3"Gamma(The Carnival)Know? Wondered if we have plans once Sweepers start retaliation.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma4-01"Gamma(The Carnival)If they all seriously try to eat us, we must have limits?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma5-01"Beta(The Carnival)Sweepers are quiet for now? Reasons unknown.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta4"Alpha(The Carnival)Index has its gaze on us. We only make fabric as Prescript pointed?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha4"Beta(The Carnival)No other Prescript from Index?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta5 (2)"Alpha(The Carnival)None? No need for worry. Index is good friend?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha5"Yan(Index Messenger)Hello, everyone.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan1 (2)"Alpha(The Carnival)Greetings?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha6"Beta(The Carnival)Greetings.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta6 (2)"Gamma(The Carnival)Messenger? Greetings.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma6"Yan(Index Messenger)Yes~ Thanks for the greetings.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan2 (2)"Yan(Index Messenger)I’m here to give you guys a new Prescript.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan3 (2)"Beta(The Carnival)Head to Library?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta7 (2)"Alpha(The Carnival)Have other paper with you? This is no Prescript.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha7"Yan(Index Messenger)You’re right, this is an invitation to the Library. It’s needed according to the Prescript.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan4 (2)"Gamma(The Carnival)Must go to Library?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma7"Alpha(The Carnival)We must eat Sweepers and weave fabric.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha8"Gamma(The Carnival)Can we eat messenger?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma8"Beta(The Carnival)Will be tasty? Would produce good silk.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta8"Yan(Index Messenger)…No, I’m afraid not. You guys must obey the Prescripts, remember?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan5 (2)"Yan(Index Messenger)You want to continue your silk-making business, no?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan6 (2)"Yan(Index Messenger)If you don’t follow your Prescripts, the Proxies will visit you.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan7 (2)"Alpha(The Carnival)Prescript come first for us?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha9"Gamma(The Carnival)If we break order, Prescript will not forgive?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma9"Yan(Index Messenger)……Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan8 (2)"Beta(The Carnival)Perhaps Library have new ingredient to make new silk with?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta9 (2)"Yan(Index Messenger)Since I’m done delivering the Prescript, I’ll be on my way.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan9 (2)"Yan(Index Messenger)…I’m sure you guys are already aware, but don’t forget what happens if you fail to carry out any Prescript.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan10 (2)"Gin(Kurokumo Clan)…Sorry to interrupt, but we’re here to retrieve our fabric.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gin1-01"Yan(Index Messenger)Hello there~ It’s the Kurokumo Clan, a Thumb subsidiary, right?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan11 (2)"Alpha(The Carnival)Greetings, Kurokumo Clan?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha10"Sayo(Kurokumo Clan)We’ll take the ‘Nuovo Fabric’ requested by the Thumb. The payment is in that briefcase.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_sayo1"Sayo(Kurokumo Clan)By the by… I’m certain a Finger Bow-Bell is about to begin, and this is a rather frivolous behavior from the Index.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_sayo2-01"Gin(Kurokumo Clan)What should we do, dame?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gin2"Sayo(Kurokumo Clan)He may be a simple messenger, but he’s still an executive member of the Index… It will be difficult to take him on by our own.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_sayo3-01"Sayo(Kurokumo Clan)It is a valuable opportunity nonetheless, especially since the messenger is alone right now.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_sayo4"Yan(Index Messenger)…Sure. All I do is deliver words from above.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan12 (2)"Yang(Kurokumo Clan)The Index is the same as always.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yang1"Yan(Index Messenger)……Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_yan13 (2)"Sayo(Kurokumo Clan)…Now then, why don’t we go our own ways if we’re done with all business here?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_sayo5"Sayo(Kurokumo Clan)The Carnival can visit the Library, we can take our fabric, and mister messenger… probably has places to be.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_sayo6"Location: Inside the LibraryAngela(Library Director)Is that an organization producing fabric?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela1"Roland(Servant)Yep. Quality fabric is a rarity. Tailors are just as important as Syndicates and Fixers.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland1"Roland(Servant)Those guys seem to be operating underground. Looks like they’re eating people to make silk…Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland2"Angela(Library Director)What’s so special about it? Isn’t it just the same old piece of cloth?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela2"Roland(Servant)Nuh-uh, that’s not your ordinary textile, ma’am. You still have a lot to learn.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland3"Roland(Servant)There’s a good reason a lot of hotshots in the City are dressed in normal-looking attire and not plate armor.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland4"Roland(Servant)You’ve probably seen it from some guests, but those aren’t just regular clothes.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland5"Roland(Servant)A high-quality fabric can provide just as much protection as an augmentation procedure.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland6"Roland(Servant)Not even money could buy top-of-the-line fabrics sometimes.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland7"Roland(Servant)Some can only be earned by joining memberships of workshops or tailors. Some things in this world are entangled in a complex web of interests like fame and stuff, which can’t be cleared with money alone.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland8"Angela(Library Director)I’m starting to feel dazed from all this information.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela3-01"Roland(Servant)Well, that’s enough of that… Why don’t we close our eyes for a moment and make a wish?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland9"Angela(Library Director)And you aren’t helping at all.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela4"Roland(Servant)We gotta pray that the Prescripts don’t target the Library.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland10"Angela(Library Director)Okay… I can close my eyes, and make a wish.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela5"Roland(Servant)…Uh, are you actually playing along?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland11"Angela(Library Director)I wished for you to stop babbling nonsense.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela6"Roland(Servant)Hunh… Anyway, things could get real messy once a Prescript points at the Library.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland12"Roland(Servant)The Index, one of the Five Fingers, is gonna be after us. They’ll do anything to keep coming for our asses.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland13"Angela(Library Director)The Index?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela7"Roland(Servant)That’s one of the five giant Syndicates that rule over the Backstreets.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland14"Roland(Servant)They’re called as such because they literally have all of the Backstreets in their hands. It’s simple, really.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland15"Roland(Servant)Anyway, the Five Fingers have enough power and influence to rival the Wings, so nothing good will come out of opposing them.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland16"Roland(Servant)And the Index is like a group of zealots. They obsess over the orders they call ‘Prescripts’. For them, Prescripts are…Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland17"Angela(Library Director)Something they must follow?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela8"Roland(Servant)Yep. Prescripts must be carried out, as they say…Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland18"Roland(Servant)And we have a subsidiary of the Thumb butting in, too. I just hope things don’t escalate too much.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_roland19"Angela(Library Director)Whoever may visit, we simply do our best to receive them.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela9"Location: Library EntranceGamma(The Carnival)Hungry. Want?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma10"Alpha(The Carnival)Can spin new kind of thread. Excited?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha11"Angela(Library Director)…Greetings, guests.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela10"Alpha(The Carnival)Greetings.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha12"Gamma(The Carnival)Greetings?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma11"Beta(The Carnival)Greetings.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta10 (2)"Beta(The Carnival)Okay to eat. Could produce wonderful silk?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta11"Gamma(The Carnival)Will make pretty, blue silk?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma12"Alpha(The Carnival)Seems she would taste even worse than Sweepers?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha13"Gamma(The Carnival)True? Does not seem human.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma13"Beta(The Carnival)Want to eat something tasty now? Tired of disgusting food.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta12 (2)"Angela(Library Director)Sigh…Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela11"Angela(Library Director)I’m Angela, director and librarian, may you find your book…Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_angela12"Alpha(The Carnival)Such short greeting.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_alpha14"Gamma(The Carnival)So insincere, too?Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_gamma14"Beta(The Carnival)Disappeared.Audio: "ch4_Carnival_ep1_beta13 (2)"
