Don t you feel everyone s cold stares behind your back? The Italian restaurant we went to for the first time Looks as cool as the ones in classy TV shows I was a teeny bit nervous because of its stylishness But I felt I ve become mature When we paid at the table, You looked a little confused "You can count on me for the bill," you took out your wallet Wtf, why do you have a Velcro wallet? The Velcro sound resonated throughout the restaurant I was really embarrassed How dare you, how could you dare take that out In a classy restaurant like this? The cold looks around us made me feel like my blood was freezing I ordered spaghetti with squid ink for the first time I took the first bite with courage "Linguine means little tongues," you showed off your knowledge Eating tiramisù that moment felt like I was on cloud nine "You can count on me for the bill," you took out your wallet Wtf, why do you have a Velcro wallet? Don t you feel everyone s cold stares behind your back? Wtf, why do you still have a wallet like that? Your salary isn t that low Give me a break!

wao write I sound a little annoying now, but here goes... Sakuga (作画) generally refers to the drawings in an anime. More often than not it is talking about how the pictures are drawn - are they close to the model, do they show good expressions, are they anatomically/proportionally correct, are the shadows right, etc... However, some people use it with reference to the animation as a whole (drawings + line quality + movement (and timing) + shading etc, but not colour). I think that isn t entirely accurate. When you see people going about "nani kono sakuga" or "hidoi sakuga" they re usually complaining about the poor quality of drawings, but if it s smooth they ll usually say "yoku ugoiteru ne" (something to that extent), or maybe something like "sugee douga". If it s smooth and well-drawn and moves WELL (meaning with nuance, sense of weight, etc.) they ll say "kami sakuga". A common appreciation of cool animation seems to be 鳥肌が立った - I got goosebumps. Like shivers down your spine. An important, related term is Sakuga kantoku (作画監督) also abbreviated as "sakkan". Literally translated as "animation director", which is misleading. The job of a sakkan is to correct the genga made by key animators (see below). Corrected drawings are done on yellow paper, apparently. This is one of the important roles, and is one of the 4 most important per episode (the other 3 being scriptwriter, storyboarder and episode director). I am going to ((very) extensively) blather on about this so I have put it in a spoiler tag. Genga (I assume you mean 原画 when you say Genka) is usually translated as key animation. It literally means "original drawings". This is something I m still not entirely clear about, but basically they draw the important frames in a show - and leave the in-between stuff to, well, the in-between animators. In-between animation work is called douga 動画 and also involves tracing the lines from the genga so that it looks neat and so on, called clean-up. I don t have any clips/gifs offhand, but if you ve seen enough anime you ve probably seen the Gainax bounce i.e. when a (usually well-endowed) girl jumps or does something and her boobs bounce. Apparently it started off with Gainax. I think there was a bit of it in Daicon IV which was made by Gainax founders before Gainax was formed. As for the animation production process, you might have already been to AIC s guide on how anime is produced in general, particularly this page. (Note how the colour designer is actually in pre-production. An interesting case is Mushishi where there was a separate colour designer for each episode because each ep had a "Theme Colour". Seems like they planned the storyboards and colours and so on WAY ahead of time.) For sakugakantoku, perhaps "Key Animation Supervisor" would be a more fitting title? That is what they used in Jin-Roh. But it s deifnitely not "animation coordinator" (that would be closer to, say, 制作進行 which is something I still don t know how to translate nicely) And I will stab you if you say "Art supervisor" because when you say "Art" in anime credits it s easy to get mixed up with the background art. DaFool I think the biggest difference is that in Western animation the animation director is more concerned with the movement while in anime it s more of the drawings. After all, the focus is very different in both, and like you pointed out Japanese animation has much more detailed designs with shadows and such. I should think that the animation director in anime also looks at the timesheet though, so that basic timing is still there. There s a lot I"m really confused about anyway - a lot of this could be quite mistaken - so someday I hope I can go to Japan and visit a studio and ask them once and for all... __________________ Quote Originally Posted by solomon nice work on the lexicon kj190. However, i must give major kudos to wao for the lenghty info on sakuga. Ive long been an animation buff/aspiring artist but the entire true nature of the japanese animation process was always a true mystery. The proprietor of Anipages.net who keeps an eye out for animation worth of praise in anime, gave some good info but still nothing as detailed an informative as wao did. As for dai-ni genga ive only seen it in movies high end ovas and spectacularly animated tv shows like Planetes, Kamichu and Eureka Seven to name a few. The hypothesis wao gives is valid but i immedietly think that the assignment of animation shots would be broken down amongst more and more animators (genga-sha?) especialy for very fluid shows that would need the extra attention Actually I believe you can see it in shows that have less spectacular animation like Honey and Clover, XXXHolic, Gallery Fake, Chokotto Sister, Strawberry Panic, NHK ni Youkoso and so on. Well, 動画 is sometimes described as "In-between and Clean-up" - so maybe it s now split up into 第二原画 being cleanup and 動画 being inbetween. But I can assure you 100% that the anipages guy knows a lot more than I do; he s been looking out for animators much longer than I have (I got inspired by him...), it s just that he doesn t bother himself with such low-end things all the time (but not always, see this post) This isn t really otaku lingo though, more like industry lingo. So I ll try to make it more relevant to the theme of the thread. Some animators are so l33t that they go simply by surname or by a nickname among fans. Here are some カリスマ (Charisma) - Toshiyuki INOUE 井上俊之 磯 (Iso) - Mitsuo ISO 磯光雄 (It s said most of current anime animation is influenced by him in one way or another) 吉成 (Yoshinari) - Refers to either 吉成鋼 (Kou YOSHINARI) or 吉成曜 (You YOSHINARI) who are brothers and absolutely great animators. They re good at illustrating as well. Kou (also known as 吉成兄, elder Yoshinari) is easily spotted nowadays because he goes to the extent of doing the composite and post-processing for his shots. See the 4th FMA OP, the part where Ed jumps off the waterfall. As well as the really smooth shot in ep 49 of Eureka 7. Typical otaku are most familiar with that table scene in the first ep of Nanoha that stuck out very much... You Yoshinari (the younger of hte two) is more associated with Gainax. Think there s some good stuff from him in Re Cutey Honey and FLCL. One of them is refered to as 鼻毛 (hanage, nose hair) but I can t remember which. Or why, even. 鬱 (Utsu - depression) - Refers to Satoru UTSUNOMIYA うつのみやさとる Many others (even some sakuga-otaku) don t look at him kindly because he never sticks to the character models and while his movement is great, his pictures look "ugly". So they all feel depressed.... ゆたぽん (yutapon) - Refers to Yutaka NAKAMURA 中村豊, a typically Sunrise/Bones action animator. Is seriously leet. Go look up for an AMV/MAD on him on Youtube or stage6. He s in most BONES works. Check out the Bebop movie especially. コンカツ (Konkatsu) - Refers to Katsuya KONDOU 近藤勝也, a Ghibli animator. He did the animation the very popular Minna no Uta song Kaze no Toorimichi. キムタカ (Kimutaka) - Refers to Takahiro KIMURA 木村貴宏, more well known as a character designer who does very detailed, sometimes extravagant designs usually with a sexy touch. See Gun X Sword, The nickname reminds one of "kimutaku" (Takuya Kimura...) Oh, and how could I forget... 師匠 (Shishou - Master!) - Refers to the Takeshi Honda 本田雄, sometimes incorrectly called Yuu Honda. Is involved with most well-animated films and most people don t dare touch his work. See the first Naruto film, Millenium Actress and Beyond in the Animatrix. Was also quite involved in Eva. EDIT Another one... ゴッキー (Gocky) - Refers to Keiji Gotou, a rather well-known character designer (esp. for Nadesico) who later started doing directing/storyboarding; he s done series direction for Kiddy Grade and Uta Kata. The first work by him I watched was Gate Keepers.. He does very detailed drawings full of shadows and highlights and what not. If I m not wrong, pictures like that are described in Japanese as 濃い. quote animesuki-wao-write1 animesuki-wao-write2 このページは、発言者であるwao氏の許可を得て掲載しています 「本サイト、アニメスキーのwao氏の発言ログ」

What s going on, Mickey? 調子はどう？ミッキー。 The water s been fixed, so you can take a hot shower if you want. 水道は直ったわ。シャワー浴びれるわよ。 Hi. ハイ。 Yeah. そう。 I smell that bad? そんなに臭う？ Great, I ll take a quick one before bedtime. グレイト！寝る前にさっと浴びるわ。 I kinda liked taking a cold shower in this heat. この暑さじゃ水浴びがしたいような感じね。 No, I didn t mean that you-- I just, you know, in case you wanted to take a warm shower, I just wanted you to...the water being hot. As it were. いいえ、そういう意味じゃないわ。あなたがもし温かいシャワーを浴びたかったのなら、熱いのを浴びさせようかと思っただけよ。 You can still take a...a cold shower if you really want to. I m just saying the hot water s there, you know, in case...in case you need it. Thanks, Mickey. ありがとう。 Yeah. ええ Mind you don t let everyone else go before you, cause in that case I can t guarantee that you ll...the water gets cold, you know? あなたが先に浴びたいのなら Thanks, Mickey. Yeah. Thanks, Mickey. Yeah. I ll talk to you later, Mickey. 後でね、ミッキー。 Yeah. I heard you had a nightmare last night. 昨晩悪夢を見たって聞いたけど。 Did she tell you that? She can t keep her mouth shut, can she. You can t, can you? 彼女が言ったの？黙ってられないのね。 What was wrong with the pipes? パイプの何が悪かったの？ They re just old. Like all of Venice, they re really old. Twice a year, every year, I have to spend half a day freezing my ass off down in the canal performing emergency surgery on the pipes. 古かったのよ。ベニスのように。本当に古いわ。年に2回、毎年、パイプの緊急手術のために用水路に入ってケツを凍らせながら半日過ごさないとならない。 Not that I don t love doing it, especially when my so-called partner s curled up on the sofa watching soaps all day long. Later, Mickey. Yeah. As if your screaming wasn t enough to wake up the whole building? And so what if you were having a nightmare? You are human, you know. Even though you d like to think differently. I m sorry, I didn t mean to cause an argument. It s just that I had a nightmare as well. Good luck trying to get anything out of her. She s so very together, you know? There ll be no chink in her armor. She s the iron lady. Well, bollocks. Would you shut up, Fiona? I mean, for once, would you just shut up? Yes, I had a nightmare, and yes, it s none of your business. So don t try to make it your business. I wasn t trying to...to intrude. Fine. I just don t like talking about my dreams, yeah? Have you been sitting here all day? Hi, Fiona. Hi, darling! What ve you been up to today? I saw you come down early this morning, but you looked busy, so I didn t want to bother you. Pretty much, darling. I feel like a vegetable. How was your day, then? I ve been working on my painting. I ve been around. Sleepwalking, basically. Oh right, for the exhibition? How s that going, darling? Until today? Terrible. But I managed to get something down on canvas this morning, so I feel a little better. You ll be all right, I m sure of it. After all, I love your paintings. I wish my teachers shared your enthusiasm, Fiona. They will. Trust me. You ll be the star of the show. Did you go to school today? Yeah, all morning, and half the afternoon. I actually made some progress on my painting -- you know, for the exhibition? Finally, eh? I knew you d get around to it eventually. I haven t been particularly inspired lately, but today there were certain...events that inspired me. Same here. I felt particularly inspired after watching Greg punch out Lars, the evil Norwegian brain surgeon on "The Wealthy and the Depraved". He deserved a good beating after what he did to Laura, the precious thing. Ha-ha. Yeah? You tired, darling? I didn t sleep much last night. Nightmares. God, you too? Mickey woke me up screaming in the middle of the night. She was so perturbed she refused to go back to sleep until I made her a cup of herbal tea. This is Mickey we re talking about? Exactly. Hard to believe, yeah? She s always so composed, even in the most extreme situations. It frightened me half to death seeing her like that, darling. Don t tell her I said so, though. She wouldn t want me talking about it, I m sure. It was good. It s been a weird day. I ve had a horrible day. How so? Really? What happened? Well, you know how some mornings, you wake up, but you re not sure if you re really awake or if you re still just dreaming? I feel like that every morning, darling. A pot of black coffee cures that in a flash. That s how I ve been feeling all day. Like I said, it s been a weird day. How was yours? Exceedingly ordinary. Almost depressingly so. I poked my head out the door once, for about a second, but thought better of it. Did you get any work done? You know what, I think I did. Surprised the hell out of me, that s for sure. That s wonderful, darling. See, didn t I tell you? I knew you d be inspired again. You were right. I usually am. Yeah, you were right. I usually am. That s good, then. See, didn t I tell you? I knew you would. Just...everything. But I did get some work done. Why don t you sit down and watch a movie with us, April? You know what? That sounds like an excellent idea. I ll see you later, yeah? All right, darling. Bye. Bye now. What are you watching? Nothing special. We were thinking about watching a movie later, though. Yeah? Which one? They have quite a few new releases out. Did you ever see "Victory Hotel"? No. Is it good? That s what they say. So we might catch that one. Can I ask you a few questions? Can I ask you a few more questions? Why, certainly, darling. About what? I don t mind, darling. Ask away. Morning, Fiona! Good morning, darling! You re up early. Hi. Hello, darling. Yeah, I couldn t sleep. Are you feeling all right? You look a little pale. I had a bad nightmare. I just have a lot of work to do. I m fine... Again? Well, you re not the only one, darling. Mickey woke me up screaming in the middle of the night. She wouldn t go back to sleep until I made her a cup of herbal tea. That doesn t sound like Mickey. I know, darling. Don t tell her I said so, but I ve never seen her so agitated in my life. She scared the hell out of me. For the exhibition? How s that going, darling? Good. Fine. It s going...actually it s not going so well. I haven t felt inspired in a long time. Weeks. I m scared that I ll never-- What d happen if I just...ran out of creativity, Fiona? What if I can t ever finish a painting again? Oh God, I ve chosen the wrong line of work... Oh, darling, no. No, I just think you work too hard. I worry about you all the time, you know. Don t. Well, darling, I do. You should work less and play more. When was the last time you had a boyfriend? God, don t remind me. That s a depressing thought. Well, there you are. Live. Enjoy your youth. It goes by too quickly as it is. Not hard enough, apparently. I don t even know if my painting will be done in time for the exhibition. I think I ve...inspiration is hard to find these days. Real hard. I don t know why I have nightmares. I guess they could be stress-related. After all, the exhibition is right around the corner. Oh yes, the school exhibition. How s that going? No, I don t know. But apparently you do. You need to take some time to yourself. Relax. Have a good time. Find yourself a boyfriend. Be eighteen. I m...just...just a little tired, that s all. You work much too hard, darling. Nightmares? Apparently. But she refuses to tell me what they were. I think she s embarrassed. God, don t ask. I have no idea how I m going to finish my painting on time. I haven t felt inspired in ages. I think you work too hard, darling. You need to relax once in a while. Live. Enjoy your youth. There s inspiration to be found in hedonism, you know. (laughs) I m an authority on the subject, darling. Ask Mickey. She ll tell you I don t lift a finger around the place unless I absolutely have to. Yeah, you d know, wouldn t you? I have time to be eighteen when I ve made it into the two-year program. Right now it s all I can do to keep my head above water. Take care you don t drown, darling. That s cute. That s...did you come up with that one just now? Because that s pretty cute. Yeah. Rather nifty, eh? I m no slouch when it comes to verbal sparring after all (laughs). Oh, that s uncalled-for. That s downright mean, April. I m in a mind to kick your arse for that one. And I ve won tougher fights, believe me (laughs). ...but? Where s everybody this morning? Mickey s tied up in the basement... Mind you, she s not literally tied up, of course -- although that is a tempting thought. Are we getting into your sexual fantasies here, Fiona? Because it s a little too early in the morning for that, don t you think? Sorry. I just can t help myself. Anyway, the plumbing is...you probably noticed when you took a shower, yeah? There s no hot water. So Mickey s working on that. Getting knee-deep in putrid canal water is her job, thank God. What about Charlie? He up yet? No, he s still sleeping, and Emma just went to bed. I saw her come in when I was making breakfast. Do you know who she s seeing now? I don t know. Some guy. Those lads I see her with, darling...she s too good for those arseholes. I wish she d find herself a man who d treat her right for once. She hasn t had much luck with love, no. She s a magnet for creeps. And she s so pretty. They prey on her, you know. Bastards. I ve tried to talk to her about it, but Emma s...impulsive. She doesn t listen. She s just as headstrong as you and me, darling. But I m sure she ll be all right. She s smart and resourceful, and not afraid to speak up for herself. Shouldn t you be outside enjoying the good weather? You joking? Bollocks to that, I ll stay inside until September, thank you very much. It s too bloody hot. I d better get going. Off to school? Yeah, there are no more classes this semester, but I have to finish my painting by next Thursday. For what it s worth, darling--good luck. And don t work too hard, all right? See you later, Fiona. Have fun, darling. Can I ask you a few questions? Why, certainly, darling. About what? Can I ask you a few more questions? I don t mind, darling. Ask away. I think the ring might belong to me. I m sorry I have to ask, but could you describe the ring? Sure thing. It says "Sweet Sixteen". My Dad gave it to me. I think it was the only birthday of mine he remembered, or at least acknowledged. Yes, that s the one. I found it under the sofa when I was vacuuming. Here you are, darling. Thanks. It s not worth much, but it s got a certain...sentimental value for me. It s a very pretty ring. Yeah. Yeah, it is. My Dad never gave me anything pretty, before or since. He must ve won a poker game or something that day. You know what s strange? I don t hate him. He s a bastard, and he treated me like crap almost every single day of my life, but I don t hate him. I feel sorry for him. Why? Because he doesn t know how to love. He can t love anybody or anything. And because he ll be miserable every second of every minute of every day until the day he dies. God, I m glad that life is behind me. I hope I never have to see him again. No, that doesn t sound right. I ve made a choice not to see him again. Ever. I saw this note on the corkboard... Do you have any idea what this means? "Where kids visualize their..." No, sorry. Do you mind if I borrow these matches? Not at all, darling. I don t have any more questions right now. Don t hesitate asking if there s something else you want to know. Thanks for your help, Fiona. You re welcome, darling. Where did you find my ring? Under the sofa, darling. It must have slipped off your finger while you were watching a movie or something. That s strange, because I ve been keeping it in a box in my room. I rarely ever wear it, and I ve never carried it around in my pocket. I m not sure what you mean, darling. What do you think of Cortez? Don t you think he s a little creepy? Oh, he s harmless. That old hippie s been drugged up for fifty years, and he s not likely to come down any time soon. Mickey likes him, but I m not a big fan. But what can I do? He just sits outside the building smoking or reading a book. He doesn t harm anyone. How long has he been around? Oh, I don t know...a year, maybe? He just showed up one day, and he hasn t left since. He never leaves his spot? He sleeps and eats, obviously. And sometimes he goes to some revival cinema uptown. Says that, second to reading, old movies are his greatest passion. What else can you tell me about Cortez? One word I wouldn t use to describe him is "lucid". He s always on about some bollocks idea, and you d never know from listening to him that he s got any sense at all. People say he s quite sharp, though, quite intelligent. Well read, multi-lingual, and he s travelled all over the world, apparently. But still completely bonkers, if you ask me. Tell me about Emma. Emma? Why, she s your best friend, darling. I don t know what to tell you that you don t already know. You girls are so close. That s true. The day we met, we clicked -- instantly. It was strange, but cool. Like me and Mickey, then. Except for the sex, of course. That s a pretty big "except for", Fiona. Oh, I guess so. She s a crazy one, Emma is. Not crazy as in "mad as a hatter", but crazy in a good way. Fun to be around. Emma s always been a little weird. Exactly, darling. She s a flirt, too, and the boys seem to drop like flies at her feet. No wonder. She s a real looker, I don t have to tell you. I m sure she could ve been a model if she d wanted, but she s an artist, and a good one too. I really think she ll be a successful artist. Her sculptures are getting a lot of attention. Anything else you can tell me about Emma? She ought to be a little more careful sometimes. She s a flirt, and although she doesn t mean any harm, some lads don t take too well to being teased and rejected. You should tell her that, being her best friend and all. I have told her. She won t listen. No. She does worry me a little. But she s a big girl and she can take care of herself. I m certainly happy to have her living here. Next to you and Charlie, she s my favorite tenant. What did you think of me when we first met? That s a peculiar question, isn t it? I thought you were quite lovely. I still do, darling. Do you remember the day I arrived? Of course, darling, it wasn t that long ago, and I m not senile quite yet. It was in May, wasn t it? Charlie referred you to me, and you were quite at a loss. First day in the city, wasn t it? I remember, you looked like a lost puppy. Puppy? Me? When I saw you lugging that suitcase across the bridge, my heart went out to you. I m glad you came here -- you d have been lost anywhere else. How long have you known Charlie? Oh, he s one of our oldest tenants. It s close to three years, I believe, since he moved in. Charlie is always in a good mood, and he is such a gentleman. I agree, he s an actual, genuine gentleman. And you don t see a lot of gentlemen these day, trust me. You have a very good friend in him, darling. Perhaps even more than a friend. What do you mean, more than a friend? Not for me to say, darling. If you don t realize it yet, you will. What s up with Zack Lee? Zack? I think we both feel the same way about him, darling. He s not actually a bastard -- if he was, I d ve had him out of here in an instant. But he is an arse, and a stuck up, pompous, arrogant wanker. My thoughts exactly. Aside from that "wanker" bit. Still, he pays his rent on time, he doesn t make a lot of noise, he keeps to himself, and, most importantly, he s shit scared of me. So I can t just kick him out. Tell me a little about yourself, Fiona. Me? Why, there s not much to say, darling. I love my job, I love Venice, and I love being with Mickey. I m a happy girl. Sure, sometimes I wish I could go back to England to see my family, but that s...water under the bridge, so to speak. I m very happy with myself and my life here in Newport. How long have you and Mickey been together? Mickey and I ve been together since I was nineteen. She was in her late thirties then. The older, wiser, worldly woman. I found her sweet and charming and intriguing... When I finally realized she was neither of those things, it was too late -- I was in love (laughs). She stole me away from my dreary, British inner-city life, and she brought me here. She was no knight in shining armor, that s for sure, but she knew how to treat me like a woman. You guys make a great couple. You think so, darling? Yes, I guess we do. And the sex is amazing. You never get tired of talking about your sex-life, do you? Never. And if I ever do, please shoot me. Can you tell me something about the Border House? That s one of my favorite topics, darling. What precisely do you want to know? Tell me some more about the Border House. What precisely do you want to know? What can you tell me about Venice? I don t really know much about the history of Venice. You should really ask someone with an interest in local affairs. What I do know is that this whole neigborhood used to be an industrial area, and that about one hundred years ago they converted most of the buildings into residences for students and the homeless. And it s a nice place to live, certainly. Friendly people, liberal attitudes, great clothing stores...quite perfect, aside from that dreadful stench from the canals in the summertime. What s the story behind my apartment? Your apartment? It s more a room than anything else...not much more than a large closet, really. It s not that small. It s one of our smallest rooms, but it s cheap, and it s on a nice floor. I hope you re happy there. I like it. It s convenient. And it s got a, uh, interesting view. That s nice to hear, darling. As for the story behind it? No unexplained deaths or hidden pirate treasures, I m afraid. Just a long string of students on a tight budget. Do you like Newport? The city? I stay in Venice most of the time, and it s easy to forget we re just a tiny little pocket in the middle of a sprawling urban wasteland. But do I like it? I think Newport is one of the great cities of our age. Love it or hate it, you can t argue with that. And which one is it? Love or hate? I haven t decided yet, darling. Ask me again in another fifteen years, perhaps I have an answer then (laughs). What s Metro Circle like? That s the sleaziest and most perverted neighborhood in Newport. On the negative side, however, it s also a dangerous place to hang out. I wouldn t go there alone if I were you. Thanks for your help, Fiona. You re welcome, darling. What made you decide to run a boarding house? That s a long story. One of the reasons Mickey and I got together was that we shared a passion for the classic English country inns. You know -- quaint, weathered buildings, funny old ladies, and oddly suggestive names like "The Lazy Cock". So why come here, to the big city, to America? We wanted to create a place with a similar atmosphere and hospitality here in Newport. Like a safe-house for people like you and I to call home, if only for a short while. So we discussed different options for a few months, and then we decided we wanted to start a boarding house for young, penniless students and artists. You d decided you wanted to do that here in Venice? We knew that Venice was the place for us, long before we came here, but the hard part was finding a building cheap enough. And this building was available? Not at first. Like most of the buildings in Venice, this one used to be a factory, but when we first looked at it, a local company was planning to turn it into a bar and nightclub. It was so perfect for our purposes, though, that we appealed to the Venice borough council, and after outlining our plans, they gave us the go-ahead at a reduced price -- provided we kept our promises regarding our tenants. What inspired the name " Border House"? That came quite naturally when we saw the place. It s on the border between two worlds, isn t it? Between Venice and the city itself. And at the same time, I also believe we re on the border between two more abstract worlds. Between art and spirit on the one hand, and science and technology on the other. That s very poetic, Fiona. Yes, I ve practiced. I may be an inner city girl, but I can philosophize and bullshit with the best of them. Do you and Mickey own the place together? We own it together, yes, and we ve shared the responsibilities between us. Mickey takes care of the maintenance of the building, I busy myself with the administrative tasks. I also take care of the day-to-day management of our tenants, like deciding whether or not to let someone rent a room. And, of course, the unpleasant business of booting someone out. I thought you enjoyed that part. Yes, all right, in some cases, I do. But not always. It can get quite messy. Thanks for the information. I m glad I could help you out, darling. Good morning! Anything interesting going on outside? Did your tongue stick to the window pane again, Fiona? Did you ever question your own sanity, April? I mean, did you ever wonder if you were going mad? Please tell me last night was a dream, April. Definitely. I m quite certain I am insane. No, never. Never? You never saw anything that challenged your perception of reality, that defied everything you know, everything you ve ever been taught? If you re asking me if I ve seen things I can t explain? Then, sure, yeah, I have. Then explain to me -- how do you deal with it? Do you lock it away inside yourself, or do you talk to someone about it? Because I m at a loss here, April. I don t know what to do. Then explain to me -- how do you deal with it? Do you lock it away inside yourself, or do you talk to someone about it? Because I m at a loss here, April. I don t know what to do. I m not trying to amuse you, April. I m really serious. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah, I have felt like that. Many times. Then explain to me -- how do you deal with it? Do you lock it away inside yourself, or do you talk to someone about it? Because I m at a loss here, April. I don t know what to do. You have to give me more to go on than that. I locked it away. I d talk to someone about it. That s what I figured. It s not something you can just stow away and forget about. What I saw... I won t ever be able to forget that, real or not. How is that possible? Doesn t it tear you apart, knowing you might be losing your mind? I d just...write it down, perhaps. Translate my emotions into words, write them down in my diary, close it, lock it away. I couldn t do that. I can t do that. I need to find...I don t know how to say this. Peace? Knowledge that there might be another answer, that madness isn t the reason why I saw what I saw? I don t know how I can put it into words. What I saw... Last night -- right here, in this room -- Mickey and I, we were watching a movie... A documentary about the new, synthetic rain forests in Mexico... What did you see? But I m digressing... Anyway, about halfway through the movie -- like I said, I m probably going completely bonkers -- this room became a...a... It was more like a vision, really. And I m sure it wasn t holographic... What? It was like the forest came out of the Screen and into the room, like being in the middle of a Holotheater, but with added resolution, hallucinogenic effects...and...and smells. Did anyone else see this? Mickey did, but she refuses to speak of it. Says it was just our imagination acting up. Which leaves me wondering how long it ll take before I end up in a mental institution. You know, the ones that produce eight times the oxygen of the original organic forests? This room turned into a forest. What kind of vision? It only lasted for a few seconds, and then it all just...disappeared. I ve heard about-- I don t think you re going crazy. I ve been seeing strange things lately too. Something equally weird happened at the caf・last night. Yeah? Thanks, darling. But I still wish there was some explanation for what I saw. Like what? What was that? Last night, at the caf・-- right in front of everybody -- this creature appeared out of thin air. Just like your forest. It was only there for a few seconds, and then it disappeared, but everybody saw it. Everybody. Oh my. What s going on, love? I don t scare easily, but this is really getting to me. Don t know. But whatever it is, I think -- I m pretty sure -- Cortez is involved. Cortez? How is he involved? I don t know that either. I d love to find out, though. It was a dream. It wasn t a dream. I don t know what it was. I know it couldn t have been, because both you and Mickey... You were both there, and you saw what I saw, didn t you? I know it wasn t. And since both you and Mickey... Since the both of you saw what I saw, it can t have been a hallucination either. I wish there was an explanation, but both you and Mickey... We all saw the same thing, didn t we? Not a dream, not a hallucination, but what? Weird things have been happening lately. I have noticed. This isn t the first time. I have to get going. Take care of yourself out there, darling. What other weird things have happened lately? Little things. Like movement in the corner of your eye that s gone when you turn your head. And noises, the kind you re not supposed to hear in the city. Animal noises. Wild animals. And once -- this was very early in the morning, mind, a few days ago -- I looked down into the canal and saw what looked like an underwater city. But as I looked at it it dissolved into ripples of water. Have you seen Cortez today? No, darling. I don t think he s around. Any idea where Cortez might be? Like I told you, darling, I wouldn t know. Ask Zack. Scary. And you re telling me, darling? I m scared of cockroaches, for God s sake. What do you think this does to my nerves? What s Metro Circle like? That s the sleaziest and most perverted neighborhood in Newport. On the negative side, however, it s also a dangerous place to hang out. I wouldn t go there alone if I were you. Hi. Yes? Do you have any idea where Cortez is? Could you tell Cortez I m looking for him? Sorry. He could be anywhere. Well, he does enjoy going uptown to watch old movies in some revival cinema. But where that is, I wouldn t know. Certainly, darling. If I happen to see him. Thanks. Who d know? Perhaps Zack. He is, after all, the self-appointed film expert around here. You should talk to him, darling. Great. Zack. My very best friend in the whole wide world. We have a nice view of the bridges from this window. It s a reproduction of an early Lebowski. Not a particular favorite of mine, but there you are. Venice. It s an early Lebowski. You know, that really freaks me out when I think about it. More fans. Proper air-conditioning was apparently never a viable alternative for the contractor. It s a chair. That s a plasma cushion. As in the, "Once you sit down you don t wanna get up!" official plasma cushions. It should really be, "Once you sit down there s no way you can get up". Not without a helping hand, anyway. They really knew how to design tacky furniture back in the late twenty-second century. Emma picked this table up at a flea market for ten dollars last month. That s nine dollars more than it s worth. It s supposed to be a coffee-table. Shelves. That s Fiona, my landlady. She s all right. It s our Screen. The omnipresent Screen... I don t pretend to know how it works, but all the data apparently passes through tiny little black holes in the fabric of our dimension. It gets real hot in Newport during the summer, so it s a good thing we have these fans to keep the temperature down. Or, at least, that s the intention. It s a plasma cushion. It s Fiona. It s a matchbook. Mickey s not usually the sit-in-front-of-the-Screen type of gal. Unlike Fiona, she s always working on something around the house. I guess that s why they re such a great couple. Mickey. I should talk to her first. She seems preoccupied. Emma! What s going on here? April, run! Get out of here! Why? What s the-- Emma, who s this man? Tell me what s going on! Who are you? What do you want? Run, April! Now! I wouldn t listen to her if I were you. Move over there. I said move! He is just following orders, Miss Ryan. He is just a servant. My servant. I was hoping you would join our little...party. You are a difficult person to find, miss Ryan. A very difficult person to find. What are you doing to my friends? If you cooperate? Nothing. Nothing permanent, at any rate. But if you make this any harder than it has to be, I will have your friends shot. All of them. What do you w-- Do I know you? I know you. I ve seen your face somewhere. My name is Halloway. Gordon Halloway. I work for Jacob McAllen, who I am certain you have heard of, yes? He runs the Church of Voltec, also known as the Vanguard? He has been insisting on meeting you, Miss Ryan. Of course, we were not sure who you were at first, but we knew we would find you in Venice. You did give us a run for our money, I must admit. Your Shift a week ago today made it a lot easier, but then you decided to stay out of town for a while. Smart. Coming back, though, was rather stupid. What do you want from me? How did you find me? Where s Cortez? We want you. And what you carry with you. We have our...connections, in Arcadia. We know of your journey north -- good job on our friend Mister Klacks, by the way. Good job. Very impressive. Unfortunately, we lost track of you once you set out to sea. The Tyren are not very comfortable with water, and so there was no chance of sending anyone after you. Of course, not to mention the fine work you did on that Gribbler creature. She was not very cooperative, she just refused to listen to reason, but she was a twisted old girl, and we respected that. However, with your good fortune and...shall we say, good breeding, I am certain you brought some valuable items back with you, hmm? I would expect no less from a bright and industrious girl such as yourself. So -- give me what you have, and let us be done with this nasty business. I will let your friends go, and then you and I will go on a little...trip. Oh, we have our methods. The eyes that see, the ears that hear -- our impressive technology helps, of course. And Mister McAllen is not a bad magician. He can sense things. Besides, you have not been particularly covert, have you? I mean, the job you did in the police archives was messy. Very messy. Footprints all over it. Not your footprints, certainly, but footprints. That poor sod...Mister Minnelli, was it? It took us eight painful hours to get a confession, and then it turns out he actually knew nothing about it. Did...did you kill him? Certainly not! He has proven useful in the past. No, a little mental laundry, and this nasty business is behind him. We even cleaned up a few...unfortunate childhood memories while we were at it. Cortez? He has been...disposed of. He was meddling. Not at all acceptable behavior from a man of his stature. He simply had to go. He kept telling all the secrets, and that is not how we play this game. All right, release my friends and you will get what I have. There s nothing I have that you could possibly want. No way, I m not giving you anything! Leave that decision to me, Miss Ryan. Just hand it all over, and we can let these fine people return to their pathetic little lives. You have caused them enough pain, yes? Very well. Shoot...that one. You are a very intelligent woman, Miss Ryan. But first, we still need to teach you and your friends a lesson. Shoot...that one. Still, we need to teach you and your friends a lesson. Shoot...that one. What the hell is going on?

Overview As a qualified PCB designer, you must understand the schematic diagram. If necessary, FS Tech recommends that you divide it into more detail according to the function of the circuit, such as analog, digital, high speed, high current, power supply, etc. Component placement considerations Placement of high-speed equipment 1. High-speed devices are prohibited from being placed on the edge of the PCB. As we all know, high-speed equipment is a relatively sensitive instrument, and the edge of the bare board has different impedance characteristics, which will cause serious damage to the electromagnetic interference machine. It is said that there have been some turnkey PCB manufacturers in the past and this has resulted in radiated EMI from the connectors of the PCB. Therefore, FS Technology generally places sensitive high-speed devices in the center of the bare board, in this way to reduce the adverse effects of EMI. In past manufacturing experience, we believe this is the best approach. Thermal effect placement strategy For PCB component placement, thermal effects are a factor that we must consider. When manufacturing high-speed circuit boards, the production equipment will be in a high temperature state due to the influence of the rotational speed. When the temperature of manufacturing equipment reaches a critical point, the pins of PCB components will be damaged. To keep your thermal components cool, develop a sensible placement strategy. In order to deal with this problem, FS Technology will move the components away from the air path of the BGA when installing large components. This method effectively prevents the components from directly facing the hot air flow, so as to achieve the effect of cooling. Process for placing components Prioritize the location of the connector The size of the PCBA board depends on the product housing, so prior to PCB design, the location of the connector is prioritized. Note Here is the PCBA board instead of the bare PCB board. There are essential differences between the two. If you don t know much about this, you can read the article of FS Technology s PCB vs PCBA. Chip placement Place the main functional chips such as microcontrollers, operational amplifiers, drivers, and power chips. These chips are the heart of the entire PCBA, and they determine the functionality of your board. We recommend that you place auxiliary components such as crystals and decoupling capacitors close to the relevant main chip. Place passive components Passive components include the following types series resistors, pull-up resistors, ESD diodes, etc. There are many points to pay attention to when placing passive components. In order to help you to carry out PCB assembly smoothly, FS Technology lists the following points Voltage and current levels Function type (analog, digital, power, high speed) placed to facilitate the flow of high currents to minimize loops Power and GND Distribution In addition to circuit function, voltage and current levels should also be considered. Circuits with similar VCC and GND should be grouped and placed together as shown in Figure (4). Different functional sections are prioritized and placed. Most critical in order of priority Wireless Wi-Fi, GPS digital motor control power supply Place the main components according to the signal flow. Refer to the circuit schematic when placing components. Identify the main components of the circuit, such as microprocessors, Ethernet chips, memories, etc. Place these according to the floor plan and use the shortest possible traces between these master chips according to the datasheet guidelines, which makes the signal flow as smooth and unidirectional as possible. Follow FS Technology Blog, you will be able to learn more pcb assembly process steps.

http //www.csmonitor.com/2009/0114/p07s01-wome.html White Phosphorus? Israel denies using harmful white phosphorus munitions in its explosions, such as the one shown above, on Jan. 3 in Gaza. Yannis Behrakis/Reuters SOURCES Global Security, Times of London/© 2009 MCT Gaza Israel under fire for alleged white phosphorus use On Tuesday, the Israeli army denied using white phosphorus munitions. A Norwegian doctor claims Israel is using Gaza as a test laboratory for new weapons, including Dense Inert Metal Explosives, or DIME. By Robert Marquand | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor and Nicholas Blanford | Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor from the January 14, 2009 edition PARIS; and Beirut, Lebanon - Marc Garlasco has been on the northern border of Gaza for the past five days watching what he says are white phosphorus munitions exploding over a crowded refugee camp. Mr. Garlasco, a senior military analyst for New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW), says that the way Israel is using the incendiary device is illegal. White phosphorus shells contain more than 100 felt filaments that ignite upon contact with the atmosphere, drift to earth, and burn intensely for at least 10 to 12 minutes. The usage of white phosphorus is not illegal under international law if it s used in military operations as a smoke screen to cover troop movements or against bunkers, armored vehicles, and ammunition dumps. But its use is forbidden against people – civilians and soldiers alike – under nearly all military codes and laws. "The use of white phosphorus is banned as a weapon that causes unnecessary suffering, " says Mark Ellis, director of the International Bar Association in London. "It isn t to be used in civilian areas, or indeed against people since it creates horrible damage to the human body, and unnecessarily so." Israel, which has been charged with using white phosphorus in Lebanon, says it is not using white phosphorus in its war against Hamas in Gaza, now in its 18th day. "The IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] acts only in accordance with what is permitted by international law and does not use white phosphorus," IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told Israel s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday in response to a query. But Garlasco says that phosphorus is clearly being used in the Jabaliya refugee camp, one of the most crowded areas in Gaza. "I can see them; we are very certain, whatever the Israeli Defense Forces may say, that white phosphorus is being used. It was used by Israel in Lebanon in 2006, but not until the population fled. In Gaza, the population can t flee." As the offensive continues, which has killed more than 900 people, a variety of European doctors in Gaza, human rights groups, news organizations like Al Jazeera, and observers on the border are reporting instances and sightings of weapons use that is causing deaths, and wounds they say they have not encountered before. Most are calling for access to Gaza to determine what is true amid a rage of reports and rumors. While the phosphorus explosives are widely condemned for raining down indiscriminate harm, questions have also arisen about the possible use of another weapon called Dense Inert Metal Explosives, or DIME, that was created by the US Air Force. DIME is designed to be used in crowded urban areas since the weapons are highly lethal but have an extremely limited range of explosive force that can reduce collateral damage. Norwegian doctor Mads Gilbert, who worked in Gaza s main Shifa hospital during the first weeks of the conflict, and who spoke to media in Egypt and Norway in recent days, is the main source for allegations of DIME use. "This is a new generation of very powerful small explosive that detonates with extreme power and dissipates its power within a range of five to 10 meters," he told reporters. "There is a very strong suspicion I think that Gaza is now being used as a test laboratory for new weapons." Al Jazeera, which has reporters in Gaza, has described hospital cases that appear to conform to the clean tearing of limbs that DIME can cause. Italian scientists from the New Weapons Research Committee, which examines emerging military technology, said in a statement that "evidence is mounting" of DIME usage, saying the wounds may be "untreatable" due to metals like tungsten that enter the body. DIME is packed with tungsten dust that forms micro-shrapnel upon detonation. Paola Manduca, a geneticist at the University of Genoa, says she has seen "four photos from Gaza hospitals since December that look like the effects of DIME. We want to stress as professionals that we need to be able to verify what is happening, and we can t do that if Gaza is blocked." But Israeli experts deny any such usage of DIME by the IDF in Gaza. Shlomo Brom, former brigadier general who consulted international legal experts on weapons use as head of the IDF s Strategic Planning division, derided human rights groups allegations on white phosphorus and DIME as political propaganda. "The weapons itself are not illegal. Whether they are used in keeping with international law is a matter of interpretation. To judge you need all of the operational considerations and intelligence available. Of course, they don t have it, so they are playing a very irresponsible role," he says. During the Lebanon war in 2006, Israel was suspected of employing depleted uranium munitions as well as DIME. The Israeli military has also used cluster bombs and phosphorous munitions in its previous battles in Lebanon. It was heavily criticized by human rights groups for firing both kinds of munitions into the densely populated streets of west Beirut during the siege of the city in the summer of 1982. In the 1990s, when Israeli troops occupied a border strip of South Lebanon, the distinctive cotton ball puffs of brilliant white smoke from exploding phosphorous rounds were a common sight in frontline areas. The Israelis used phosphorous to burn crops in frontline villages and to destroy ground cover used by Hezbollah fighters to infiltrate the occupation zone. In August 1997, five Israeli soldiers burned to death during a battle with Lebanese guerrillas when they were trapped in a frontline valley by a brush fire ignited by phosphorous rounds fired by their own artillery. HRW reported in 1996 that phosphorous shells fired by Israel had struck populated areas, causing civilian casualties, during a week-long Israeli air and artillery blitz in South Lebanon in July 1993. At the time of the 1993 attack, Maj. Gen. Herzl Bodinger, commander of the Israeli Air Force, was quoted by Israel s Yedioth Ahranot as saying "We do not use such bombs." But in 1994, the US State Department reported that there were "credible accounts of IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] use of phosphorous shells against military and civilians targets" in South Lebanon. Other controversial armaments used by Israel in Lebanon included antipersonnel "flechette" rounds fired by tanks. The round is designed to explode in the air, showering the target with 5,000 three-centimeter-long steel darts in a cone-shaped trajectory some 900 feet long. The United Nations recorded many instances of "flechette" rounds being used in South Lebanon in the 1990s in which civilians were killed or wounded. Last year, Fadel Shanaa, a Reuters cameraman, was killed in Gaza by a "flechette" round fired by an Israeli tank that Mr. Shanaa was filming at the time. Whether Israel is using white phosphorus illegally or not in its latest war against Islamist militants in Gaza, the issue may be gaining too much focus, says Garlasco from HRW, and could be "a red herring." Sara Roy, a senior research scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, agrees. "While it is important to pay attention to these weapons, the majority of Gazans are being killed by typical military operations. I am a scholar and I use words carefully, and this seems like a massacre." • Joshua Mitnick contributed reporting from Tel Aviv. 外国報道

Troubleshooting Sliding. This is what you see when an object appears to be moving, instead of stationary on a floor, for example. This is a user error, not a software error, typically due to object placement errors. Almost always, this is because the inserted object has not been located in exactly the right spot, rather than indicating a tracking problem. Often, an object is inserted an inch or two above a floor. Be sure you have tracked the right spot to determine floor level, track marks on the floor, not tennis balls sitting on it, which are effectively an inch or two higher. If you have to work from the tennis balls, set up the floor coordinate system taking the ball radius into account, or place the object the corresponding amount below the apparent floor. Also, place trackers near the location of the inserted object whenever possible. Another common cause of sliding a tracker that jumps from one spot to another at some frame during the track. “It lines up in SynthEyes, but not XXX.” The export scripts do what they can to try to ensure that everything lines up just as nicely in your post-tracking application as in SynthEyes, but life is never simple. There are preferences that may be different, maybe you’re integrating into an existing setup, maybe you didn’t think hitting xxx would matter, etc. The main causes of this problem have been when the field of view is mangled (especially when people worry about focal length instead, and have the wrong back plate width), and when the post-tracking application turns out to be using a slightly different timing for the images, one frame earlier or later, or 29.97 vs 30 fps etc, or with or without some cropping. “Camera01 No trackers, please fix or set camera to disabled.” You have created a scene with more than one camera, opening a new shot into an existing file—one with no trackers. The message is 100% correct. You need to select the original camera on the Shot menu, then Shot/Remove object. “Can’t locate satisfactory initial frame” when solving. When the Constrain checkbox is on (Solver panel), the constrained trackers need to be active on the begin and end frames. Consequently, keeping Constrain off is preferable. Alternatively, the shot may lack very much parallax. Try setting the Solver Panel s Begin and/or End frames manually. For example, set the range to the entire shot, or a long run of frames with many trackers in common. However, keep the range short enough that the camera motion from beginning to end stays around 30 degrees maximum rotation about any axis. “I tried Tripod mode, and now nothing works” and you get Can’t locate satisfactory initial frame or another error message. Tripod mode turns all the trackers to Far, since they will have no distance data in tripod mode. Select all the trackers, and turn Far back off (from the coordinate system control panel). Bad Solution, very small field of view. Sometimes the final solution will be very small, with a small field of view. Often this means that there is a problem with one or more trackers, such as a tracker that switches from one feature to a different one, which then follows a different trajectory. It might also mean an impossible set of constraints, or sometimes an incomplete set of rotation constraints. You might also consider flipping on the Slow but sure box, or give a hint for a specific camera motion, such as Left or Up. Eliminate inconsistent constraints as a possibility by turning off the Constrain checkbox. Object Mode Track Looks Good, but Path is Huge. If you’ve got an object mode track that looks good---the tracker points are right on the tracker boxes---but the object path is very large and flying all over the place, usually you haven’t set up the object s coordinate system, so by default it is the camera position, far from the object itself. Select one tracker to be the object origin, and use two or more additional ones to set up a coordinate system, as if it was a normal camera track. Master Reset Does Not Work. By design, the master reset does not affect objects or cameras in Refine or Refine Tripod mode they will have to be set back to their primary mode anyway, and this prevents inadvertent resets. Can’t open an image file or movie. Image file formats leave room for interpretation, and from time to time a particular program may output an image in a way that SynthEyes is not prepared to read. SynthEyes is intended for RGB formats with 8 or more bits per channel. Legacy or black and white formats will probably not read. If you find a file you think should read, but does not, please forward it to SynthEyes support. Such problems are generally quick to rectify, once the problematic file can be examined in detail. In the meantime, try a different file format, or different save options, in the originating program, if possible, or use a file format converter if available. Also, make sure you can read the image in a different program, preferably not the one that created it some images that SynthEyes “couldn’t read” have turned out to be corrupted previously. Can’t delete a key on a tracker (ie by right-clicking in the tracker view window, or right-clicking the Now button). If the tracker is set to automatically key every 12 frames, and this is one of those keys, deleting it will work, but SynthEyes will immediately add a new key! Usually you want to back up a few frames and add a correct key; then you can delete or correct the original one. Or, increase the auto-key setting. Also, you can not delete a key if the tracker is locked. Crashes By far the largest source of SynthEyes crashes is running your machine out of memory. Large auto-tracked HD scenes can do that on 32-bit systems. If you suspect that may be a problem, turn the queue length down to 10 on the shot setup dialog when you open the shot (or by doing a Shot/Edit Shot). It is also a good idea to re-open SynthEyes if you have auto-tracked the same shot several times—or turn down the undo setting because the amount of data per undo can be very large. In the event that SynthEyes detects an internal error, it will pop up an Imminent Crash dialog box asking you if you wish to save a crash file. You should take a screen capture with Print Screen on your keyboard, then respond Yes. SynthEyes will save the current file to a special crash location, then pops up another dialog box that tells you that location (within your Documents and Settings folder). You should then open a paint program such as Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, Paint Shop Pro, etc, and paste in the screen capture. Save the image to a file, then e-mail the screen capture, the crash save file, and a short description of what you were doing right before the crash, to SynthEyes technical support for diagnosis, so that the problem can be fixed in future releases. If you have Microsoft s Dr. Watson turned on, forwarding that file would also be helpful. The crash save file is your SynthEyes scene, right before it began the operation that resulted in the crash. You should often be able to continue using this file, especially if the crash occurred during solving. It is conceivable that the file might be corrupted, so if you recently had saved the file, you may wish to go back to that file for safety.

I thought you said you can provide anything except for drugs? Hah! You re very funny girl. I like you. It s refurbished, but good as new. In fact, better than new. Can pick most locks made in past fifteen years. I ll take it. How much? Wait, wait. May look like charitable old fool, but this not cheap. Only one I got. You good customer...but lockpick more valuable than money in Venice. I wasn t really thinking. I― Look at me, I m shaking! No fight That s just the adrenaline. It s perfectly normal. Not for me. It s not every day that someone tries to kill me. I wasn t thinking. I m...I knocked someone out. Me! I ve never hit anyone in my life. You did what you had to do. You defended yourself. I don t know about you, but I usually don t have people trying to kill me. They weren t trying to kill you. They were trying to kill me. I m Zoë Castillo. Are you Helena Chang? That s not― Castillo? I see. I came by to pick up a package for a friend of mine. Jericho. Jericho? I told him I wouldn t give the package to anyone but him. He couldn t make it. Didn t he tell you? I never got that message. Maybe it was intercepted. That would explain a lot... Look, I don t like this. Those people who tried to...to kill you, are they looking for Rez― for Jericho, too? I wouldn t know. But I need to leave right now. Here, take this. Next time, you buy something! I don t want any drugs. Look, I m new to this place, and I m wondering if you― No shit. You fit right in. Now, what can I get you? Don t talk to me like that. Who are you? I don t appreciate being cursed at Who am I? Who am I? I m the fucking supervisor, that s who! Now who the fuck are you? I told you, don t talk to me like that. Fuck you! I m looking for a friend of mine. A friend . Well, does he work here? cause I m telling you right now, everyone s signed a contract, it s all legit, and nobody s leaving. No, he doesn t work here. So what the fuck makes you think you ll find him here? He s a reporter. He was researching a story. Reporter Tell the whole story A what? A reporter? A fucking reporter? What the hell kind of story is he writing? This is private property...and everything s legit! He s breaking a big story. If I were you, I d take a good look around and consider my options. If you re involved in something illegal... Are you sure about that? Why would a reporter be interested in this...enterprise if nothing illegal s going on? It s legit. It s legit! Ah, you back. What you need now? Surprise, surprise, she s back. So you need something? Oh, sorry, before I forget... Dad s out of town, and I m having some people over tonight. Would you like to come? Invitation Invite Olivia to a party I was going to unpack a new delivery tonight but...sure! Work can always wait. Who s coming? The usual suspects. Great. Sounds fun. How about Reza? I haven t seen him in ages. I really miss him. Any chance you guys are getting back together soon? I ll bring my charm and a bottle of tequila. Now! I have something to show you. Jesus Christ. My work release will be revoked. I m not going back inside. I m Zoë. Courteous I should try and calm him down You a friend of Vinnie s or something? I told him not to let his girls wander around. Ary Kinryn Peats Sam Gilmore Uh, okay. Sorry for bothering you. Before Merchant You re not the only thing bothering me. I m getting that. Goodbye now. If you could take this traffic jam with you, I d be even happier to see you go. If that s even possible. After Merchant May the Six grant me strength! As if this morning hasn t been trying enough. What do you want, girl? On second thought, don t tell me. I m not in the mood for idle chatter. Magicals...hah! Damned ghetto rats. And those rebels? More like terrorists, if you ask me. What? No. That s... Hmm. All right. It s irregular, but I reckon I can part with it. For a fair price. He said it s been paid for already, and that you d probably try to weasel more money out of me. For the love of―! Just tell him we ll sort it out when I get down there. I m sorry, but he said he needs the spices right away. He s out of stock. I keep hearing this buzzing sound in my ear, but I don t see any blackflies around. Only...you. I m stuck here for half the morning, my back s aching, and now it seems I can t get you to leave me alone. They should stick them on a boat and send them out to sea, so as they don t bother honest humans trying to make an honest living. Call themselves freedom fighters , the terrorists do, but it s because of them that I m stuck here. Again. In fact, life s a damn sight better than it was before they came. If this is oppression, I don t want to be liberated. I tell you, I m just about to run out of patience. If I don t get to the market today... The innkeeper at the Journeyman sent me to pick up an order of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . It s for― I need to get the innkeeper s spices ―mulled wine! Yes! Oh, Benrime boils the best cauldron in town, she does. Absolutely wonderful. There s a tiny, tiny problem. Nothing major, nothing that can t be solved. Why it s, heh, it s barely worth mentioning! Well, then you ve certainly come to the right place! I sell spices, and little else. I really need those spices. Can t I get them anywhere else? There must be another place to get spices in this city Where there s a will - or, you know, a spell - there s always a way...except in this case. How delayed is "quite a bit"? Quite a bit ? I m sure it won t take more than (cough) a few hours. Mission I really do need those spices. Like now. I wish I could be of more help, young lady, but as long as the ghetto s closed, the carriages are stuck in Burrow Crook. I guess it beats waiting around. Accept I don t really have a choice Fantastic! You ll want to speak with Ary Kinryn. He s a bearded fellow, a tad ornery, but a decent fellow at heart. Guy with a beard, wagons, Burrow Crook. Okay. I ll try my best. Uh, no, I don t have time to run errands. I m sorry. Decline I don t think it s a good idea for me to start running errands Of course, you have more important things to do! Wonderful! Best of luck to you, young lady! You re back! How wonderful it is to see you again so soon! Back again? What a delightful and absolutely wonderful surprise! Fantastic! Wonderful, wonderful... What offer was that again? Reconsider I don t have any choice - I need to help this guy get his spices I spoke with Blind Bob, but he wouldn t tell me anything. Wine Maybe Benrime can help me with the mulled wine? Ah, yes. "Tit for tat". Given a chance to bargain, Blind Bob will take it. What does he want now? I don t know what to do. If I can t find Minstrum Magda, I can t get home. If I can t get home... Calm down, child. I will help the best I can. I have red wine, and I can heat it up for you, but I m all out of spices. I was supposed to receive a delivery this morning, but no one has been by yet, and I cannot leave the inn to get them myself. Maybe...I could pick up the spices for you? You could. I buy my spices from a merchant at the South Gate Market. His is the first stall on the left when you walk down Ayrede Avenue. Just tell him Benrime sent you to pick up her order of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . I will put some wine on the boil while you are away. You re welcome, child. Run along, now. Not yet, no. I should get on with it We ll talk when you have, child. How do I get to the South Gate Market again? South Gate Where is the South Gate Market? Turn left outside the door. Follow Burrow Crook east until you get to the tower square, then head south through the main gates. Got it. Thanks. Have you spoken with Minstrum Magda yet? Hi, it s me again. It took you long enough, child. Did you get lost? I should tell Benrime that I got the spices No, but I had to do a lot of running around. It doesn t matter, I have the spices now. Good. There s a pot of red wine in the kitchen. Mix the spices in, let it boil for a while, and you have mulled wine. Very well, child. Stop Stop. Stop! Don t come any closer! The Guardian Scientist 1 Pressure Ms Gilmore? What an unexpected honour. May we help you with anything? I thought I d come down here to check on the progress myself. Why are there only two of you here? It s Sunday evening. The team can t work twenty-four hours a day. They ll start making mistakes, and― Shifts? We re four months away from launch, everything s gone to hell, and your team s working shifts? We re working on that, but it s been a difficult day. There have been...spikes. And the leakage is getting worse. People can take the day off when this crisis has been resolved. If Alchera doesn t launch as planned, you ll all be fired. I don t think― There have been fresh outbreaks of static interference across the Wire, coinciding with violent fluxes in Eingana. Leave now, but be cautious, and don t speak of your home. Not around here. I will help you, but you must find Magda. You don t, by any chance, know anyone called April, do you? April Ryan. April, child? No. I don t think... no, I don t. Where will I find this Minstrum Magda? She moves around the city a lot, but you should ask Blind Bob. He s normally just outside, by the stoop. He knows where to find Magda. What is that you were saying? Twin worlds? Twin Worlds I don t want to frighten you, child. Speak to Magda. She will explain. Okay. Goodbye. Scientist 2 Tourist Roper Klacks Shadowguide I seek passage to your city. I wish to visit the library. We are here to trade and to collect. We do not take on passengers. Guard Elevator WATI Computer You again? Didn t I tell you to stay away from that door? That s for staff only. All right, that s enough! Get away from there! Goodbye for now, child. And good luck. Meaning what? Apostle Alvane. Welcome to Marcuria. The construction is almost complete. We will soon celebrate the inauguration of a permanent Azadi seat in the Northlands. So, Apostle, I understand that you have been sent here to bring the Word of the Goddess to the Scorpion. I have. He s responsible for the death of many trueborn here in the north. Indeed. And I surmise the Six no longer have faith that we will find him and kill him ourselves. I m only here to assist in your efforts, Mistress. I do not intend to challenge the authority and expertise of your commanders. I see. Well, we should be grateful that an Apostle will lend his sword to the task. These terrorists, they have become more than a nuisance. Hmm. So where do you intend to start looking? If you wish, I can lend you the services of my men. Thank you, Emissary. I will require only a few men, but not yet. I have a few leads to follow first. Just do what you must to stamp out the fire before it spreads too wide. I will have no more delays to the construction of the tower. I will do everything in my power to bring the Scorpion to justice, Mistress. Good. You may leave me, Apostle. I will see you again soon. Mistress. You sent for me. Vamon What do you make of this Alvane? You served with him in Sadir, did you not? I did, Mistress. Alvane is a brilliant swordsman, and a loyal servant to the Six. Spare me your politics, Commander. We are alone. I don t trust him. He s risen through the ranks much too quickly. He has connections. Someone inside the Sixth Circle holds his hand? I believe so. His skill with the sword is...better than adequate. But his standing in the Court is unprecedented for a man of his caste. Yes. He is...young, is he not? Too young. And he has no family. No blood. Ah, now I see why you dislike him so much. My pardons, Mistress, but his lineage is not all that I distrust. He has strange friends, and his virtuousness is galling. The Six have sent him here without consulting me, which is worrying. I wonder what this could possibly mean. I understand. What would you have me do? I want to have him followed. Make sure he does not get...distracted from his mission. As you wish, Mistress. That is all, Commander. You may go. Thank you, Mistress. The Apostle will never stray far from my sight, I can assure you of that. You honour us with your presence. Your wave has crossed many oceans, and carried our vessels far abroad. Arrival Dark People Emissary Thank you. So you know who I am? The Shadowguide didn t. It is one city. It never ceases to move. It flows at the will of the cosmos, at the mercy of waves and currents. You have come to see the White of the Kin. Yes, that s right. Why is she here, with you? It is not for us to know the mind of the Draic Kin. You may ask her that question yourself. Come. She is in the library. This is our library. It is as ancient as we are, as old as the first civilisation. We have collected every word ever written. There is no other library like it. And you ve only collected what others have written? We do not create. We collect, we record, and we store. It is left for others to trap words between sheets of paper. We do not often allow visitors into our city, but if you have a purpose here, then you are welcome. I guess I have a purpose, though I m not sure what it is yet. The greater the purpose, the harder it is to understand and to accept. That door is for staff only. Oops. My bad. I just really need a bathroom. It was an accident, I swear! Welcome to WATIcorp, inventors of the Watilla, the BunnyBot, and the most popular and advanced entertainment technology in the world! Voice Yes? Oh, it s you. What can I do for you, child? I m not blind, child. What do you want? It wasn t easy, but I got the spices. I should get going. I ll be back after I find Minstrum Magda. I prefer flesh and blood opponents. Traditional shields from, uh... I think I slept through all of my African cultural history classes. Carlita lives just down the street from me. I ve known her for the longest time. Wow. I like his outfit. Way to go traditional. He s not local. I see those two boys around all the time. Shouldn t they be in school? I never leave home without my mobile. Almost never. I have to get this to Reza as soon as possible. Reza s notepad. Encrypted, of course. Lockpick. It s a dry rag. It feels good in my hand. I could probably toss this quite far. This, um, egg is making a mechanical ticking sound. I found this axe in the garden shed. The handle broke off when the axe fell through the window. It s supposed to be a torch, though I don t know how well it ll burn. Pretty nice work, if I say so myself. Reza s lighter. There s...blood on it. Charlie, together with two girls. Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . It smells really good. Wonkers processing crystal. I guess you could say it s his brain. I should put it back after I m done. It s a Watilla power...thingy. Lucia s brain and power source - both completely busted. Thank you so much. I appreciate all your help. No sales today. No rent money. No food for the children. But why worry? Tomorrow s another day! No merchandise today, nothing to sell. At least I ve got my health, unlike my poor mother. And the children... So hungry. Well, at least the weather s pretty nice. A bit cold, maybe, especially when we can t afford any firewood. Fantastic! Wonderful! Enjoy your day, young lady, and do come back! Hey, I got your spices. That s wonderful! Fantastic. What spices? Oh, for crying out... You asked me to pick up your spices! Remember? Yes. Yes! Ah, yes. I remember. Mrs Mullins spices! I m looking for a place called The Fringe . I need to find The Fringe A datacube. I m sure it s encrypted. Examine Spyder XXX_Security spider. There s a logo XXX_Thank God Olivia knows her stuff. What would I do without her. XXX_Serves it right for destroying Rexa s Watilla. Could you tell me how to get to the Victory Hotel? I need directions to the Victory Hotel Yes, yes, easy. See bridge behind me? Cross that, go right, then left, then right, then left, and there you are. Easy. Uh...thanks. Next time, you buy something. Okay? Aaah, The Fringe. So you know where it is? I certainly do. Well, could you tell me, please? Yes, yes. Keep pants on. On the other side? Thanks. You are most welcome. And good luck. I told you already, yes? I m sorry, but I forgot the directions. Okay, okay. Old man happy to help pretty young girl. Again. The other side. Got it. Find Via Milano. Go through tunnel to Florence Square. The Fringe is right there. Can t miss it. Okay. Thanks. I can repeat if you need. Thanks. That won t be necessary. I ll find it. What did you mean about drugs and competition? Drugs What was that about drugs? Drug market s very dangerous in Venice. Venice very dangerous. Not a good place for young lady. Especially not pretty young lady. I haven t seen any gangs around. Gangs There are gangs here? But they re just kids. Make a few Yuan selling drugs, and all of sudden they big men. Crazy world. They say joining gang is best way to survive. I say, joining gang is best way to get yourself killed. Good thing too, Ryan. I believe the only firing the Critters got done this summer was that of coach ul-Haq. No reason for drastic measures this time around, Diane. The tourists were found haplessly wanting and hitting at air as the local attack was running rampage with their top-order. Any chance the tourists can turn things around after tea, Ryan? The South African captain was left scratching his head looking at a scoreboard of only eighty-five-for-six after the opening twenty-five overs. Miracles do happen in cricket, Diane. And there is always the chance of rain. Not according to the forecast. Dry and sunny is the order of the day for the next couple of months. No such luck over in Malaysia, where Casawi golfer Brenda O Meara failed to make the cut under exceedingly wet conditions. Maybe we should send you over there to tee it off next week? With my putter out of order, I think we ll have to leave it to the pros, Diane. That was all from the world of sports this morning. What have we got coming up, Ryan? I believe there s an interesting report about marauding squirrels, Diane. And of course, we ll be back with more headline news. That s right, Ryan! Breaking news on the hour, every hour. For Channel 8, this is Diane D Amato. And I m Ryan Russell. Thanks for watching! I think his name is Iqbal. I only know him by his reputation, and the word is apparently sleazeball . Carlita went out with that guy once...and once was plenty enough. Examine twice Looks like she s getting some marulas. I wouldn t. Not here. Not this time of year. I see her down here all the time. I think that guy lives in Reza s building. Some guy. Checking out fruit. That s about as interesting as watching...some guy checking out fruit. You know, I may not be doing much with my life, but I still have better things to do than watching some guy buying fruit. Traditional. I love this part of the city, it s so culturally diverse. Nice candles. Very atmospheric. Scented. Vanilla...and champagne? Even the bartender s wearing expensive designer clothes. Everyone s really stylish. I feel a bit out of place. They don t serve any cheap stuff here, that s for sure. Expensive stuff. Bonsai tree. I like that whole Japanese theme they ve got going on here. It s a bonsai tree. I wonder how much he charges for something like that. It must be at least ten years old. If the rest of the stuff is anything to go by, there s just junk in there. I m not sure I want to find out what s up there. Uh-uh, I m not doing that again. Try hacking again It s a police barrier. It s probably there for a good reason, too. Examine after near focus These people look really desperate. I didn t know anyone still lived like this. I ll definitely never complain about having to live at home anymore. I wonder where they sleep...and eat. There are so many of them. I can t believe that the corporations aren t doing anything about this. She s so young. To be living on the streets at her age... I can t imagine what that s like. How can the corporations allow this to go on? Why don t they feed and house these people? At least she s not alone. Everyone here seems to be in the same situation. Not that it s any consolation... He looks really cold. It s riled up, but it doesn t seem very interested in following me. Maybe it ll calm down again in a little while. Running dog Crap! I woke the dog! Aware Open, thanks to Liv s illegal lock-defeating software. It s locked again. Looks like I ll have to find some other way out of this place. Examine after locked again 305. Nice and warm. I can feel my hands and toes again. I can see the point of using these barrels now. Nice and warm. When I find you, Reza, I m giving you a big hug...and then you re buying me new shoes and pants. And a very big cup of hot coffee. Into the tunnel The handle fit perfectly. I ought to be able to open it now. Examine with handle There s a fire escape out there. A wooden wheel... What is this place? I must be dreaming. Who stores food like this? I don t think I m in Newport anymore. The tunnel s closed. I don t know any of these titles. A Bestiary of the Southlands ? Okay, I don t want to know any of these titles. The Six Glorious Tenets of the Goddess . Books. Benrime. She s been the one thing in my life that hasn t changed in the past decade. Benrime Salmin, the innkeeper. Benrime s always busy. Cold Stone Gate. That tunnel leads to the west city. The Azadi are keeping a tight rein on the traffic. They re afraid of terrorist actions. There s a road through the mountain, but it s closed off by an iron gate. I like her outfit. Aside from Benrime, I don t know anyone in Marcuria anymore. I like his hat. I can definitely feel the cold. It s just a child. At least I don t stick out like a sore thumb in my clothes. You never know who to trust anymore. Anyone here could be an Azadi sympathiser or spy. What a character. I don t know him. Looks like he s guarding that gate. He won t let anyone into the ghetto. An elgwan. They re extremely hardy animals. The traitorous innkeeper of this den of dissenters. Hello, bubba. wtf Wazzup, yo? Aight, biatch? Wdf Who you callin biatch, biatch? I don t know if you re supposed to say non-human , but he s definitely it. I guess magical is a fitting word, all right. He― It looks like a creature half human, half animal. It is surely not the will of the Goddess to have such a thing mingle with trueborn. Apples? Sure looks like apples. But I m not taking anything for granted anymore. I doubt I ll find anything I recognise here. Unlike most things in this place, that fireplace feels comfortably familiar. Gum Sticker Ticket piece Torn ticket It s a colourful sticker with a cartoon Watilla on it. It says, Chew you later! . I don t get it. It s a complete ticket. It s just torn in two. Gum. There s only chewing gum left. And I don t even like gum. Every pack comes with a special WATI sticker . Okay, that s something. Looks like a ticket machine. Ticket machine. It sells tickets to the WATIcorp museum. Out of order. Please purchase your tickets at the ticket office. Kenji Yuriko The ticket office s closed. Of course. This just isn t my day. Hello? Anyone there? Thank you for visiting WATIcorp today, and from everyone in the WATI family - and that includes Wazza the Watilla - we hope to see you back soon! It looks like he s waiting for someone. Uh, sumimasen? Eh? Ah...gomennasai. I thought you were...someone else. I apologise. I can see the torn ticket in there. It hasn t been incinerated yet. Examine close with ticket It s empty. The dustbin automatically incinerates its contents every ten minutes or so. Examine close without ticket Your basic dustbin. The other half of the ticket s still in there. One more piece She s definitely waiting for someone. That must be the guy s girlfriend. I should go talk to her, tell her what happened. Sorry, I was just wondering... Do you know how to get to the museum? Huh? Oh. My fiancé, Yuriko. She s late. She s never this late. I tried calling her, but there was just...just static... Ah, who am I kidding. She probably decided not to come. Hi, are you waiting for someone? What? Yes...no, not exactly. Someone was waiting for me, only... He probably left already. I m very late. I ll need a ticket to get on the cable car to the museum. Why would you say that? Girlfriend Sounds like he s feeling sorry for himself We ve been having problems lately. It s all my fault. How so? I ve been too busy with work, I haven t paid as much attention to her as she deserves. I m sure that s not the case. She was probably just held up somewhere. Reassure I should say something to make him feel better about himself You don t know her like I do. She s very fastidious. She would have called. No, I have neglected her one time too many, and now she s left me. Uh-huh. Listen, could you tell me where I can get a ticket to the museum? I have more important things to worry about I knew I should have listened to... Uh, what? The WATIcorp museum? I need a ticket. Um, yes. There s a...ticket office. Downstairs. Yeah, I know. It s closed. Checked Oh. Uh, did you try the ticket machine? Really? Okay, thanks. Didn t check Yes...ah, I have to, um, leave. I can t stay. I have to... It s out of order. I see. Then I can t― I can t help you, miss, I apologise. I have to...to go. There s a ticket machine? Right next to the ticket office. Great. Thanks. I have to go now. I can t...can t stay here. It sounds like you care about her. I should say something to make him feel better I do. And now I ve blown it. I m... I m sorry. I can t― I have to leave. Well, if you ve prioritised your work instead of― If he prioritised work before his girlfriend, he can t blame anyone but himself That s too bad, but these things happen. Listen, I really need a ticket to the museum. Ticket It s too bad the guy s got problems, but I have more important things to worry about I was thinking... If your fiancé doesn t show, maybe I could have your ticket? That s really...quite rude. Why don t you buy your own ticket? I have to go now. That s not...that s not entirely true. My supervisor, he s been on my back lately. I ve tried to tell Yuriko it s only temporary, but... So maybe you re right. Maybe she isn t coming. That doesn t mean it s over. Right He may be right about her not coming, but so what? You know, communication is really important in a relationship. You can t just put up a wall. Communication Time for a lesson about proper communication If she really cares about you, she ll understand. If not, what s the point? Comfort I should try and make him feel better about himself You re right. What s the point? It s too late for us. I can t wait for her anymore. I ll just go home. You re right. I just hope it s not too late to make things better. I was hoping this trip to the museum could give us a chance to really talk. Yes, it does. She wouldn t stand me up otherwise. She isn t coming. I ll just...just go home. You re taking her to the museum? On a date? No wonder you guys are having trouble. Museum? A romantic date at a corporate museum? This relationship is bust Great. Take her to the museum and have a real heart to heart. He should talk to her, and the museum s as good a place as any Yes, talking is important, but... You know, maybe the museum isn t the best place to talk to her. He should definitely talk to her, but probably not at the museum No? She seemed to like it the last time we were there. Yes, except... What am I doing? The museum? She probably hates it there! I blew it, I really did. That s it, I m going home. Really? Maybe that s why she s not... Ah, she must be so angry at me. I ll just...go home. I m sure she did. I m sorry. You re right. Sorry If that s the case, he s probably right All the more reason to take her somewhere else. Exactly

Lamberteint Hm? Why, yes, I am Professor Lamberteint. Eh? We ve met, you say? Are you certain about that? Er...perhaps telling me why you ve come will refresh my memory. Ah, I have been expecting these. I still can t quite remember you, but you have my thanks all the same. So all three will attend the symposium... Excellent. I expected their replies sooner, but better late than never! ...Ah, pray excuse me. I ve gotten ahead of myself. The symposium I speak of is a biannual event that I organize for my students. We gather under one roof to share our research and critique others ─constructively, of course! Perchance you are familiar with “aspect conversion”? Tis a theory I but recently published─with the aid of an adventurer much like you, come to think of it. Anyway, the focus of this symposium shall be post-aspect conversion. Speaking of which, the hour is nearly upon us─though it seems my pupils have yet to arrive... Oh well, there are papers I can attend to while I wait. Since you have proven yourself an able courier, would you mind taking these flowers to the tavern for me? Tis the venue for the symposium, and I fear it wants for decoration. Lamberteint You are still here? I must have finished more quickly than I realized. Though to do things swiftly and well is only natural for a mind like mine. ...Where are my students? Tis strange for them to be so late. And what of my big surprise? Ahem... I present the original four volumes of my latest work On the Properties of Aspect Conversion! I intend to bequeath them to my students, as thanks for their assistance─once they arrive, anyway... ...They are awfully tardy. Perhaps...perhaps I shall retire to my chambers for the time being. Well, I suppose you are free to go. But if you venture outside Camp Drybone, would you keep your eyes open for my pupils? I m sure they are fine, but I worry all the same. Lamberteint Have you seen any sign of my students outside the camp? Nothing at all? I...I... Ah! My students must be busy with their research! So busy that they forgot...uh...that they forgot to tell me. The symposium is hereby canceled! My pupils will have to wait for their─ Egads! The books! I left them in the tavern! This is all so... Ahem. Could you retrieve them for me? I...I require a moment... sniffle Hahasako Do mine eyes mislead me? Tis the adventurer who came in search of corrupted crystals! Hedyn Of the countless taverns throughout the realm, that we would cross paths here! Tell me, Francel─what brings you to this place? Ceana The symposium s been canceled on account of our absence? Whatever for!? It s to be held tomorrow, not today! Hedyn Evidently the professor mixed up the date─hence why he fears we have forgotten all about it. Hahasako sigh The professor can be ever-so-slightly scatterbrained─though a genius when it comes to aetherial studies. Ceana Hahaha! As if worse hasn t been said of us, Hahasako! People would still think us lunatics had we not come to study under the professor. Hedyn Indeed. Whatever his failings, none of us would be where we are without him. Hahasako I say we surprise him with a gift of our own─something to show our thanks for all he has done, and to commemorate his latest publication! Ceana Hear, hear! And I think we all know what would make the perfect gift... Lamberteint s Pupils Corrupted crystals! Ceana Hah, a fine idea─if I do say so myself. Can we count on your help as well, Francel? Hahasako I must return to Highbridge and prepare a containment vessel for the crystals. You may come and collect it anon. “The Hazy Professor” objective fulfilled! Hedyn Corrupted crystals are central to the professor s research. I daresay he will jump for joy when he gets them. Ceana As Professor Lamberteint s greatest students, we must lift his spirits─I most of all, as the greatest of us three! Hahasako Tis high time you arrived! I completed my preparations a long while ago. Hahasako We seek crystals marred by nary a single mark. Make your way to the center of the Burning Wall, where stands the finest of formations. Hahasako Here is a sledgehammer you can use to fracture a cluster once there. Hahasako And here, a warded pot. Collect within it the shards of crystal, and deliver the lot to Ceana. Simple, is it not? Hahasako I trust you are aware that the nearest path to the Burning Wall begins at Burgundy Falls? Then I bid you merry mining! Ceana Welcome back! Did the mirrorknights give you any trouble? Ceana Aha! An exquisite potful of corrupted crystals, if ever I saw one! Hahasako Well, now that everything seems in order, I shall summon the professor for his surprise! Lamberteint Ahem! What “surprise,” pray tell? If it was for the symposium, I m afraid you re too late. Lamberteint s Pupils Professor Lamberteint! Lamberteint And you, postman─did you ever intend to return with what I asked!? Why, I ought to─ Ceana Hold on a moment, Professor! You forgot that the symposium starts tomorrow! Hedyn We know you can be a bit absentminded. But above all else, we beg you remember Lamberteint s Pupils No student ever skips a symposium! Ceana Voilà! Corrupted crystals to celebrate your latest publication, and to express our gratitude for your constant support. Lamberteint Ahaha! So that s what you three have been doing! I hardly know whether to laugh or to cry. Lamberteint It just so happens I have prepared something for each of you, as well. Lamberteint On the Properties of Aspect Conversion would not exist were it not for you all, and so I thought to divide the volumes between the four of us─that the set would be complete whenever we meet. Lamberteint Your questions, your contributions, your very presence drives me onwards─as quickly as a corrupted crystal can change aspects! Hedyn It matters not where our research takes us, so long as we are of one mind and one purpose. Lamberteint Why...why don t we meet four times a year instead of two? It would be a pleasure to hear your papers more often─and to present mine own, of course! Lamberteint I must say, I am quite eager to begin experimenting with these crystals. You didn t go to too much trouble obtaining them, did you? Ceana Not at all, haha. Francel saw to the dangerous tasks. For the second time, come to think of it─didn t his efforts serve as inspiration for your research before? Lamberteint Francel!? Ah! I knew I had seen you before. Lamberteint Well, no longer shall your contributions go unrecognized! I, Professor Lamberteint, hereby name thee an honorary pupil! Lamberteint Now, my friends, to work! The unsolved mysteries of aether are waiting to be unraveled!
