  1. And now the support conversation between the Russian Third-person Speaker Heavy Gregor, and the Ever-hexing Mumbler Tharja!

    [spoiler=Gregor x Tharja]

    [spoiler=C Support]

    Gregor: Ah-ha! There is Tharja! Gregoris needing to ask question. Is all right, yes?

    Tharja: I'm busy.

    Gregor: Ah! You are not wanting to be seen talking to old man like Gregor.

    Tharja: Age has nothing to do with it.I'm just not interested in talking.

    Gregor: Oy, little girl have tongue like snake. Very full of evil. Tharja could pretend to not liking old-man smell at least. Then Gregor is less insulted.

    Tharja: You could smell like roses and fresh-cut grass. It wouldn't matter.

    Gregor: Why are you hating friendly Gregor?

    Tharja: I said I didn't want to talk to you. ...So why are you still talking?

    Gregor: Old man like Gregor only hears what he wants. Very useful skill in life, yes?

    Tharja: ...Is that true?

    Gregor: Oy, NOW evil girl is expressing interestedness in Gregor!

    Tharja: Because that would explain why my curses never work on you.

    Gregor: Oh no! Why are you trying to cast evil hex on poor Gregor?!

    Tharja: What does it matter? The damned spell didn't work anyway.

    Gregor: Ah-ha! This is why you are being so rude. Gregor is immune to your witchery! I make you look like... how you say? Fool? Amateur? This sort of thing?

    Tharja: Go ahead and mock me, old man.I'll have my revenge, just you wait...

    Gregor: Wait, evil girl! Gregor is still having long list of questions to ask!

    [spoiler=B Support]

    Gregor: Oy, why is evil girl still not talking? Gregor is nice guy! Laugh like bowl of jelly!

    Tharja: ...I should inflict a permanent silence curse on you, old man.

    Gregor: Ho ho! Evil girl's spells not work on Gregor! Are you remembering this?

    Tharja: I have... never been... this angry... in my entire life!

    Gregor: You should forget with all the anger and the making of the clenched fists. Gregor only want to chat. Make with the small speech, yes?

    Tharja: You want to be friends with me? Then prove your loyalty. Give me nail clippings and a lock of hair so I can cast a spell that sticks.

    Gregor: If Gregor agrees to your unholy terms, you must answer question, yes? Most times Gregor only wants to know if evil girl have dinner plans. But, not today.

    Tharja: ...You get one question.

    Gregor: Oh, this is too bad. Gregor have long list. But he will narrow down... Does evil girl know magic spell that can, how you say, bring back dead?

    Tharja: Seriously? That's your question? It's almost as bad as "can you make me immortal?" Ugggh!

    Gregor: So then, you cannot do this?

    Tharja: No, Gregor. I can't. No one can. Now if you want to TALK to the dead, that's something I could maybe arrange.

    Gregor: Is for truly? Oh yes, that would be more than enough! Please, you must help Gregor talk to dead person.

    Tharja: It's not easy, you know. It takes a lot of work, and a LOT of preparation.

    Gregor: Please, you must do this! Gregor gives you soul in exchange, yes?

    Tharja: ...Really, now?

    Gregor: Cross Gregor's heart and hope to die!

    Tharja: Well, if you're that desparate, maybe I can do something...

    Gregor: Then Gregor is being always in your debt.

    [spoiler=A Support]

    Gregor: Tharja! You finish researching spell, yes? Read all tomes? Collect bat wing? Please say yes. Gregor is very much wanting to talk to dead person!

    Tharja: I am ready. Now then... Whose soul do you wish to summon?

    Gregor: Gregor's brother. His name is Gregor.

    Tharja: ...You have the same name?

    Gregor: When he died, Gregor took Gregor's name. Is fitting tribute, no?

    Tharja: ...Oh, gods. That's why the curses never worked! The brother whose name you took must have died with unfinished business. If he clings to this world, the name would still belong to him.

    Gregor: And that make spooky magic notwork right, yes?

    Tharja: A curse won't stick if you don't know the true name of the intended target.

    Gregor: You want to know Gregor's real name now, yes? So you can charm him?

    Tharja: Later. Right now, we need to focus on your brother. Imagine his face... Imagine his voice...Now... Talk to him.

    Gregor: Hello? Gregor? Yoo-hoo! Are you hearing?

    "Gregor": Brother... Is that you...?

    Gregor: Oy, is sounding just like him! Tharja is summoning soul of brother!

    "Gregor": My brother...

    Gregor: Oh, Brother! I am so sorry you die because of bad thing I did! If you bear grudge, tell me now. I atone for injustice!

    "Gregor": I bear no grudge against you... You did all you could to save me... You must not feel guilty... I am proud of you...

    Gregor: Oh, Gregor! I try to save you,but bandits were so many!

    "Gregor": You must forgive yourself, Brother... Forgive...

    Gregor: *Sniff*Oy, G-Gregor...

    Tharja: Well? Did you say what you had to say?

    Gregor: Y-yes. All thanks to Tharja. Gregor's brother was taken by bandits, and he could not save him. Gregor had large hole in heart, but now hole has filled in. Gregor have no more regrets. You can take soul or whatever now.

    Tharja: …... I'm... a little tired. Perhaps next time.

    Gregor: Gregor brings soul next time we meet. You take then, yes?

    [spoiler=S Support]

    Gregor: Gregor must thank Tharja again. You did him great favor! Brother hears apology and forgives Gregor. Now he is like new man!

    Tharja: Yeah? Well that makes one of us who's happy.

    Gregor: Oy, but Gregor says thank you many times over. Why are you giving him that evil glare of fury?

    Tharja: Ever since I hosted the soul of your brother, something has been... wrong with me. I can't stop thinking about you. It's... incredibly annoying.

    Gregor: Ah... You fall in love with Gregor? Is okay. He sees same thing before. But, is good. Gregor likes you, too. That is why he is bringing you present!

    Tharja: ...This is a ring.

    Gregor: Look on inside. Is having Gregor's name carved in! If you accept, then we carve your name next to Gregor's. Together forever!

    Tharja: ...You intend to continue using the name of your brother?

    Gregor: Thanks to you, I know he forgives Gregor for unfortunate and violent death. So now Gregor bears his name with pride! ...He also very used to it by now.

    Tharja: Well, it's as much yours as your brother's, I suppose. ...Hmm. Maybe now some of my curses will actually stick.

    Gregor: For you, Gregor do anything. Even if it turns him into toad.

    Tharja: I don't think that will be necessary. Besides, I've got a better idea... Heh heh...

    I love how this sheds a light on the fact that "Gregor" isn't even his real name.

  2. I just play casually, because I would find that, unless I specifically want it, challenges that aren't imposed by the game itself hinder my fun.

    I generally play what is considered to be the normal mode of the game, so I have a semi-decent challenge.

    Also, generally, fallen allies don't stay dead. Unless I'm doing a Gaiden run of Shadow Dragon.

    I also prefer growth rates in characters, mainly because that's one of my favorite parts about FE: seeing even the wimpiest characters grow up through harsh training into decent combatants.

    Finally, my favorite class is the Dracoknight/Wyvern rider classes, due to the fact that they usually have really bulky and good stats, they have amazing movement, they can FLY, their biggest weakness can usually be negated by an item (which is why I enjoy the Iote's Shield), and there are generally no really BAD Dracoknights in the series. Sure, there are some ones that are below average in terms of quality, but even then, they're usually quite good.

  3. Level 1 both times, with slower experience gain ("Internal level" has been brought up before. I'm nowhere near technical enough to explain it).

    If I recall, basically reclassing saves half of the levels you've gained up until that point, and uses those for the EXP calculation. So a level 16 Tactician reclassed to, say, a Level 1 Barbarian, would gain exp as if they were a Level 8 Barbarian. If you were to gain levels as a barbarian and reclass again, half of those levels would be added, so this hypothetical Barbarian being reclassed at level 4 would then gain experience like a level 10 unit after the reclassing. It keeps going until one hits the internal level cap (I believe 20 for Normal, 30 for hard, and 50 for Lunatic).

  4. Here's Nah/Avatar(F) -

    [spoiler=Rank C]Avatar - HEY! Nah! What in blazes do you think you're doing?!

    Nah - Oh hey, Avatar. What's the trouble?

    Avatar - What's the TROUBLE? You! Turing into a dragon and crashing through the countryside!

    Nah - Oh.That. ....Sorry.

    Avatar - Sorry isn't good enough!

    Nah - Look, it's just something I have to do.

    Avatar - And why, pray tell, is that?

    Nah - Every now and then, I get this incredible urge to just...run amok. It's like a really horrible itch that HAS to be scratched. So I turn into a dragon and rampage for a bit. It's genetic or....something.

    Avatar - What about the people who get hurt on these little strolls of destruction?!

    Nah - Oh, gosh, I would never do that! Never! I always go something nice and quiet where there's no one around. Then I just sort of unleash myself on trees and bushes and stuff. My record is thirty giant firs in a single rampage! Pretty impressive, huh?

    Avatar - Well, I...suppose that is impressive. But are you sure it's safe?

    Nah - Er, like I might hurt myself on a sharp branch or something?

    Avatar - Something like that. ....Listen, Nah. You think I could watch the next time you do this?

    Nah - Oh, sure. That would be no problem. In fact, it'd make it more fun!

    Avatar - Er, fun? Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all....

    [spoiler=Rank B]Nah - *Yawn* What a great rampage... I'm going to sleep well tonight!

    Avatar - I don't think I've ever seen anything so terrifying in all my life... Dragons are ferocious beasts when they want to be!

    Nah - I bet you're afraid I'm going smoosh somebody around here into jelly, huh?

    Avatar - Huh? Oh, n-no. Of course not. I'm sure it's quite safe...

    Nah - Lair, lair, pantaloons aflame! Just remember, I only rampage if there's no one around. It's perfectly safe.

    Avatar - I'm sure you're right. Who could you hurt in such an isolated spot?

    Nah - Exactly! I'm not idiot, you know. I've been doing this for a while.

    Avatar - ...Still, it makes me wonder why you have such urges in the first place. I assumed it was something instinctual in your species... But there's no record of your mother ever doing it. In fact, I've never heard of any manakete engaging in such behavior!

    Nah - Beats me. Hmm... The other manaketes have always been true-bloods, right? As far as I know, I'm the only half-human manakete that's ever lived.

    Avatar - You think it's something from your human side that compels you?

    Nah - Hey, I dunno. I just work here. All I know is that have to do it, whether we like it or not!

    Avatar - Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to keep coming on these little trips of yours.

    Nah - Hey, it's your funeral. Kidding! I'm kidding. ...Ha ha?

    [spoiler=Rank A]Nah - Hee hee! Oh, gods, that was fun! That was the best rampage EVER!

    Avatar - Here, Nah. Have some water.

    Nah - Thanks!

    Avatar - Gracious, you certainly took it up another notch today. It's a good thing we're in such a isolated spot here.

    Nah - Gods, yeah. Can you imagine me running amok in the middle of town?!

    Avatar - A grim thought indeed. But listen, I have a theory about why you need to rampage. I think they're a way for your dragon side to get some exercise.

    Nah - Hmm, yeah. Could be. Is exercise something you humans do a lot?

    Avatar - Most of us, yes. It's a great way to get rid of stress and blow off steam. And the healers say regular exercise is the key to good health.

    Nah - Do you uproot trees?

    Avatar - Er, no not usually. In fact, almost never.

    Nah - Oh. That's too bad Uprooting trees is favorite bit. Oh, so the other day in the village I saw a lady screaming at her husband. She was chasing him around the square with this huge rolling pin. Then she went in the house, threw his stuff out of the window, and stomped on it. Was that exercise? 'Cause it sure looked like a good workout.

    Avatar - Er, no. That's something different. Although I wager she was blowing off steam...

    Nah - Hmm. Well, it seems that my exercise needs to be destructive. I can't stop until I've splintered some trees or torn up a swathe of undergrowth.

    Avatar - It's good thing we have plenty of forest to spare.

    Nah - Oh, and I feel much better running amok if you're here with me.

    Avatar - Because I can make sure that you don't destroy anything important?

    Nah - Because forests are dark and scary and have lots of ghosts. But when you're around, I'm not scared one little bit!

    Avatar - Heh. Sometimes I forget there's a little girl inside that monstrous beast.

    Nah - So you ARE going to keep coming out with me for my exercises, aren't you?

    Avatar - Of course. I've grown quite fond of them, and of you... You're like the little sister I never had...and I guess the big monster I never had, too!

    Nah - YAAAAAY!

    Here's Morgan(M)/Nah, I'll get Yarne/Lucina after I get their S rank -

    [spoiler=Rank C]Morgan - Hmm? Hey, that's Nah... Why is she all hunched over...?

    Nah - ....

    Morgan - Nah! Are you all right?

    Nah - Um, yes? Should I not be?

    Morgan - You were hunched over! Are you sick?

    Nah - ...No, I was praying.

    Morgan - Praying?

    Nah - Yeah. Like this. You close your eyes, see? ...Well, keep yours open to watch. "Great and wise Naga, heed my prayer!" ....And then you offer up your prayer. Naga is an incredibly important deity to the manaketes. If you pray to her, she'll guide you to happiness.

    Morgan - Wow, sound impressive! She must be awfully busy.

    Nah - Yes! But she still takes time to speak to my kind every so often.

    Morgan - Really? That's amazing!

    Nah - She spoke to me just now, actually.

    Morgan - Wow! What did she say?

    Nah - "Kids your age shouldn't stay up so late."

    Morgan - Ha ha! Your god is a real mother hen! So, um, can I ask what you were praying for?

    Nah - I wished for happiness and peace in the world.

    Morgan - And did she respond?

    Nah - No. She never does when I ask for that.

    Morgan - Hmm, I see.... Maybe that's her way of saying we shouldn't rely on divine intervention. We need to build happiness and peace with our own hands!

    Nah - Hmm... Maybe so. That's certainly a very Morgan-like interpretation. You're always so gung ho and optimistic.

    Morgan - Better to have more hope than less, I always say!

    Nah - No arguments there!

    [spoiler=Rank B]Nah - O great and wise Naga...

    Morgan - Oh hey, it's Nah...

    Nah - ....

    Morgan - She's hard at prayer again today.

    Nah - ..... .....That should do it. Oh! Hello, Morgan.

    Morgan - Hey there. Any responses from Naga today?

    Nah - Yes, but not exactly the revelation I was hoping for. She asked me for more offerings!

    Morgan - Oh! Hey, what do you offer a jealous god, anyway? Fatted calves and such?

    Nah - Naga is not a jealous god! ....And I was told to bring a flower.

    Morgan - Oh? Any particular kind?

    Nah - Naga's bell. It blooms once every 200 years, and only beneath a full moon. ....That's what the legends say, at least. I've never seen one for myself. They only grow in remote, craggy terrain far removed from human settlement.

    Morgan - Wow. That's a pretty tall order. Very specific, too.

    Nah - It's supposed to near impossible to find. I'm afraid Naga's given me a doozy this time... But you can't exactly ignore a direct request from a deity, right?

    Morgan - Say, do you want help looking for it?

    Nah - That would be great, Morgan. But at the moment...I don't even know where to start looking. Give a little time to come up with an idea, all right?

    Morgan - Hey, yeah! And I'll find some dusty old tomes to read. ...Just in case.

    [spoiler=Rank A]Morgan - Hey, Nah! I was looking for you.

    Nah - Er, sorry, Morgan. I stopped to pray a while ago, and Naga told to not move from this spot.

    Morgan - Hmm. Interesting. ....Maybe it was because she was THIS coming!

    Nah - Huh?

    Morgan - Ta-dah!

    Nah - Oh my gosh! That's the Naga's bell I was ordered to find as an offering!

    Morgan - Ding ding ding! Correct! You win a meat pie! ...Oh, and the flower. Here.

    Nah - Morgan, where....? How did you...?! I...I'm absolutely stunned! How did you know where to find one? They're legendarily impossible to find. And even then, they're supposed to grow only along high crags and cliffs!

    Morgan - I guess I just got lucky. I found it entirely by accident, really. Just walking down the road, minding my own business, and there it was! I plucked it up on the off chance this was your flower, and what do you know? I guess sometimes they take pity on us and sprout up right under our noses!

    Nah - ....Do they?

    Morgan - Yup! Pretty fortunate thing, huh? Maybe Naga sent us a bit of good luck.

    Nah - Well, thank you for doing this, Morgan. I'm sure she'll be pleased. I know I am!

    Morgan - Well, if you're happy, I'm happy! Let's hope Naga will decide to grant that prayer of yours now!

    Nah - I'm sure the message will get through with this!

    Morgan - ....Anyway, I should get back to work. So long, Nah!

    Nah - Good-bye, and thanks again!

    *Morgan leaves*

    Nah - Oh Morgan, you generous fool. Don't think I didn't notice those cuts and bruises....

    [spoiler=Rank S]Nah - Morgan!

    Morgan - Heya, Nah! Still chattin' up the big lady upstairs?

    Nah - No. I got what I was asking for.

    Morgan - Oh! Well, congratulations! That's wonderful! Er, wait. You were asking for world peace and happiness, weren't you? ....Did I miss something? 'Cause I'm pretty sure the bad guys are still trying to kill us.

    Nah - ....Oh no, I meant my other request.

    Morgan - You had a second wish? What was it?

    Nah - ...For the person I love to love me back. But now there's no need to ask Naga, because he cared for me all along.

    Morgan - Oh, that's... That's great, Nah. But, hey I don't think I can... Er, it would be rude to pry any further.

    Nah - No! I want you to hear this! I... I'm in love with you, Morgan!

    Morgan - ....What?!

    Nah - When I saw you, how you'd risked your life to find the Naga's bell for me, I... I was overjoyed to know you cared! Even Naga is happy! ...She told me the flower was delicious.

    Morgan - Really? That's great news! And I'm really, really happy to hear you saying all this to me, Nah. ....Still feels a little ticklish coming out and saying I love you, though.

    Nah - But you've said it through so much more then just words, Morgan. When you handed me that flower, I could feel it rushing through me like wave!

    Morgan - Good... I'm glad. B-but word are still important, too, so lemme try those too: I love you, Nah!

    Nah - I love you, too!

    Morgan - ...Yeah, that's gonna take a while to get used to. But it feels good! So, um, did Naga have anything to say about all this?

    Nah - Hold on, I'll ask. .....She said to get a room.

    Morgan - Ha! I'd say that counts as giving us her blessing!

    Nah - I would say so!

    "She said to get a room." Naga, you're amazing.

  5. Lost Bloodlines? I see what you did there Nintendo...

    Looking forward to finding out some of the Jugdral character's official names.

    ...The sheer cleverness of that name is astounding.

    Also, I can't wait for the localized names. Fanboy tears at them? They'll be delicious.

  6. Now for a generic support: MaAvatar X Gerome(Parent-Child). Please note that I used Lon'qu and Gerome's Parent-Child Support as a base, so I didn't have to type out the whole thing. Which is why it is typed out similarly to that support.

    Bah, enough already!

    Please note this is identical to Gerome and Stahl's Parent-Child Support.

    I guess I'm kinda reposting it, because I might as well, but it seems to pretty much be identical to Stahl's support with Gerome.

    Also, FeMorgan X Cherche's support is identical to FeMorgan's with Cordelia. Not reposting it, because I don't want to waste my time like I did with the MaAvatar X Gerome Support.

  7. ^I tried that but on Lunatic Classic

    I'll warn you now 48/50 of the enemies aggro on the first turn. All at once. And it only takes 2-3 hits for you to die, even paired up, especially with forged Thoron tomes and the such. Fliers are screwed as well due to bow knights and rexcalibur tomes.

    Also, the top left house gave me a beast killer and the top right house gave me a dracoshield. Anyone know what the other ones give? IIRC I made the knights my reinforcement because beating both seemed impossible without an end-game team and I wanted to recruit Yarne somewhat easily.

    Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't get money at the end of the chapter.

    Thanks~

    You get an Energy Drop and a Hammer from the other villages. So you get a stat boost, and a weapon that's effective against the other side.

    Also, personally, if I ever try Lunatic, I'll just go with the Knights. An extra stat boost, slaying weapon, and bit of gold is kinda irrelevent with that difficulty.

  8. FE4 remake. Just. FE4 Remake.

    Let's be perfectly honest here, as fun as FE4 may be, it's in dire need of a remake. Some of the features more recently introduced (support conversations, pairing up, sidequests, actual convenient trading, animated cutscenes), combined with some of the game's already present features (the generation system, castles having a bunch of features, repairing weapons, the inheritance system) would make for a nice game. Plus, the original game is kinda clunky, and it could do with an update in general. Maybe even include a remake of Thracia 776 in the game in some way, and pull a Metroid Prime 2 with 776 (keep the original difficulty as a higher difficulty, and create a semi easier mode to make the game tolerable). And let's be honest, if Jugdral's story could be introduced to the influx of new fans that don't know some of the bigger twists, it'd definitely leave an impression. Plus, they've already let some Jugdral characters out of the bag, so they might as well.

  9. Huh.

    Okay, so I used:

    Chrom X Sumia: Why? Because why not? As much as I would've liked to pair Henry X Sumia, my other pairs wouldn't have given me the choice to. Plus, her bonuses were nice.

    Avatar X Cherche: Pairing these two up, especially as flyers, was a great idea. Just, a great idea.

    Lon'qu X Panne: Just saying this right now, but their speed bonuses were INSANE. Great dodge-tanks, and they weren't any slouches in attack.

    Cordelia X Gregor: Somehow, Gregor just would not die. I could put him into a giant mass of enemies, and he just survived. Probably because of his bulkiness, but still.

    Tiki X Anna: I was definitely using Anna, and I needed a partner for her, so I got her Tiki. Worked out very nicely.

    Morgan X Gerome: These two just worked great together. Since my Avatar's MASSIVE strength got passed down, these two could rip enemies to shreads.

    Nowi X Gaius: These two worked nicely. Their bonuses were quite helpful to each other.

    I also used some other characters on and off, but they were used VERY infrequently.

  10. The Golden Gaffe:

    You know, I almost felt sorry that we were going to have to take what seemed like the army's entire life savings with this chapter... but when I found out that their savings were so little, I didn't feel as bad. When all the gold came from Vincent and Victor, I felt even better.

    Also, those two's dialogue with their fake british was hilarious.

  11. Okay. My current one is:

    My plan for this team is to have it consist of mostly flying units, and to have better skills, obviously. Right now, it's just some of my best units. But once stuff like Paralogue 22 comes out, then it can get even better.

  12. And now for an attempt to apply science to religious practices, it's Miriel and Libra's Romantic Supports!

    C Support

    Old Villager: Thank you, Libra. I feel your words have parted the dark clouds about in my heart.

    Libra: It gladdens me to hear that, my child.

    Miriel: …...

    Old Villager: The parables you've shared have lent my life a sense of direction.

    I feel hope rekindled in my breast. I cannot begin to thank you.

    Libra: Your path will hold its share of hardship, but I pray you keep that hope alive.

    Miriel: ……

    Libra: Hmm? Oh, Miriel. What are you doing here?

    Miriel: Observing.

    Libra: That conversation just now?

    I fear it's hardly anything so grand as to merit study.

    I merely shared the teachings of Ylisse to those villagers eager to listen.

    Miriel: And were they receptive?

    Libra: I believe that faith will find a home in them.

    Such teachings offer a guide to life and are a steadfast beacon in these dark times.

    I pray it will also sustain them in the lean days ahead.

    Miriel: If the teachings bear such salubrious effect, why not share them with greater numbers?

    Libra: Naturally, were it possible, I would share them with everyone!

    Er, but why do you bring this up?

    Miriel: By my observations, your methodology is highly inefficient. It vexes me.

    Libra: Inefficient?

    Miriel: Indeed. Assembling an audience, selecting the venue, promulgating the message…

    A scientific approach to these factors would yield a far more efficient modus.

    Libra: Perhaps, but that isn't-

    Miriel: Possible? Poppycock. Anything is possible.

    Given a thorough analysis of the germane phenomena, a sound theory will emerge.

    However, in the absence of empirical data, you might dismiss it as idle speculation.

    Therefore I must prove it through a physical implementation.

    Libra: You will do what now?

    Miriel: I will show that it can be done.

    However, I fear I am unfit to preach the teachings of Ylisse.

    In this capacity, I would enlist your aid. I will furnish the mechanism, you the words.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I must begin planning posthaste.

    Libra: W-wait, Miriel! …Oh dear.

    B Support

    Miriel: I have the results from our previous discussion.

    Libra: Ah, yes. Your method to spread my teachings to a broader audience.

    Miriel: Precisely. A unified fundamental theory has emerged from my investigation.

    First, the venue must be of sufficient capacity and easily accessed.

    Before speaking, the even must be made public knowledge among nearby villages.

    During the gathering itself, wind magic is to be employed to amplify your voice.

    Now then. For the next-

    Libra: H-hold on just a moment, Miriel.

    Miriel: Is something amiss?

    Libra: Your plan is to gather a large crowd and speak to all of them at once?

    Miriel: Quite. In so doing, you mitigate effort and time requirements by the greatest margin.

    Libra: Yes, but I can't address individual people in such a system.

    Miriel: Nor ought you. Speaking the same words to followers one by one is hideously inefficient.

    Gathering them and addressing the lot in one fell stroke is a far superior plan.

    Libra: Superior in time and effort spent, perhaps, but-

    Miriel: The plan will succeed. Further peer review is wholly unnecessary.

    Libra: …Very well. If you're that certain, we should try it.

    Miriel: I will make manifest the eminence of my methodology!

    A Support

    Miriel: The theory is sound, and yet…

    Libra: Is something wrong, Miriel?

    Miriel: My data shows attendance is waning at your religious gatherings.

    The logs clearly indicate more people came to the initial meetings than come now.

    Libra: Yes, I'd noticed as well.

    Miriel: But my modus is theoretically sound.

    I've just revisited all my assumptions, and they withstand the strictest scrutiny.

    Yet data cannot lie.

    Libra: Well, perhaps your ideas failed to account for a critical element.

    Miriel: Such as?

    Libra: The human heart.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, your method gets my words to more ears than ever.

    But the message stops at the ears, I fear, and does not travel to the heart.

    Miriel: A defect in amplification, then?

    Libra: Um… Not exactly, no.

    Every individual listens to the teachings of Ylisse for different reasons.

    If I limit my sermons to truths that apply equally to all, they fall short.

    Only by showing the relevance to each person's life can I truly reach them.

    Miriel: A logical postulation. Perhaps I was indeed myopic in my designs.

    Were you certain from the start that my method would fail?

    Libra: I thought offering salvation to a mob would be…difficult, yes.

    Miriel: Then why did you consent to the mass gatherings?

    Or was I simply too heedless and stubborn to hear your objections?

    Libra: A bit, perhaps.

    But mostly, I thought your plan might yield a different sort of benefit.

    Miriel: And did it?

    Libra: Indeed it did!

    You've given me the opportunity to meet more people than I ever could have alone!

    Miriel: Curious.

    I had grown rigid in my methods, Miriel-a lesson I hope you will take to heart.

    Your work was a success in terms of meeting converts, but it was only a step.

    And so I must continue the work that we started on a more personal level.

    Miriel: There is merit in what you say.

    Libra: I'm thrilled to hear it.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd best head off to have some of those conversations.

    Miriel: I hope you will permit me to offer my continued assistance as well.

    S Support

    Miriel: Another successful gathering today?

    Libra: Absolutely. I can't thank you enough for all your help of late, Miriel.

    Miriel: I am glad to be of service.

    And this has proven a most fruitful area of personal study as well.

    Libra: Oh? What have you learned?

    Miriel: That any system-built theory is only as efficacious as the dedication of the user.

    This is a known scientific truth, but one I had yet to learn so viscerally.

    Libra: The parables hold similar words. …Albeit smaller ones.

    Miriel: This endeavor has sparked a curiosity in me to better understand the human heart.

    This will help transport my theories from the realm of abstraction into the tangible.

    Libra: Perhaps you might begin by examining the contents of my heart?

    Miriel: I had not planned to do so.

    Libra: Then perhaps offering this will spark your curiosity.

    Miriel: …Ah. A ring. Inductive extrapolation suggests this is a proposal of marriage.

    Libra: Look into your own heart, Miriel. What do you find?

    Miriel: Wonderment and joy in equal parts. Or so it would seem.

    Libra: And do the contents of your heart move you to accept this ring?

    Miriel: The sum of its contents provide an unequivocally affirmative response.

    Still, it is most curious. These sensations are demonstrably real, but hardly logical.

    Libra: A fine subject for further investigation.

    I'll have to make sure you never lack for future data!

    Show of hands, who needs a dictionary to fully understand Miriel?
