[It's dark. You're trying to move forward, but it feels like your limbs are weighed down by chains and shackles. Still, you push. You push and you pull and those chains are pulled taut and strained until suddenly--]

[Something snaps]

[You tumble forward, wind blowing past your face, until you lose awareness of anything around you. . .]

I was thinking more about bribing him with shiny things!

But, sure, let's go with plan b.

[soulping]

S-shiny things?

[now poor Jii just looks confused]

[feytality]

You know, because he's a dragon.

[IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE]

[soulping]

Ah. . . ah! I see.

[he chuckles lightly]

It is a nice joke.

[feytality]

I thought so!

So how do I get him to talk to me?

[soulping]

[the old man goes silent for a moment. contemplatively silent]

. . . you must not force him. Young master. . . tends to keep his secrets under lock and key, which is why I worry about him so much. But if you approach from a point of understanding--

[he takes in a deep breath, and nods]

I believe the museum will be a good place for you to begin.

[feytality]

...Alright, I'll do my best.

How do I get there?

[soulping]

If you head outside, you'll be able to see the museum clearly to your right. The pathway there is clear.

[feytality]

Thanks, old man! Anything else I should know?

[soulping]

. . . be careful.

Young master is a good person, but even he has areas of his soul that are wrought with danger.

[feytality]

I laugh in the face of danger!

[gonna head off, though] See ya later!

[soulping]

Goodbye, Eveningstar-san!

[and she heads off}
