[canon] Skit Compilation
Because I like having things available, I went and compiled all the skits that Mieu has been in. o/ Mostly for my own reference, but there's some hilarious stuff in here.
And, as always, there WILL BE SPOILERS.
Skit 14: Mieu's One of Us!
TEAR: Luke, can't you walk a little slower? Mieu can't keep up.
LUKE: Humph! Why do we have to slow down for that thing?
MIEU: *Huff* *huff* Don't worry, *huff* Tear. *huff* I'm okay. *huff*
LUKE: See? Even he says he's fine!
TEAR: Why do you have to be so mean? Can't you treat Mieu like one of us?
LUKE: One of us?! He's the most annoying thing I've ever seen!
MIEU: Oh, please don't fight!
LUKE: Shut up already! It's your fault in the first place for burning up the ligers' home! If you hadn't done that, the liger queen could've hatched her eggs without bothering anybody, and everything would've been fine! You got that? Huh?!
MIEU: Mieu...
ION: Now, now...I'm sure Mieu understands the gravity of what he's done.
TEAR: You could stand to be a bit more mature, Luke.
LUKE: ...Yeah, yeah.
JADE: Well, now that that's cleared up, shall we be going?
LUKE: Little son of a....
Skit 15: Playing With Fire
LUKE: C'mon, you! Fire! Fire!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...
TEAR: Watch it! You very well could start a forest fire! Then what?
LUKE: Forest fire? Hah hah! Like that'll ever happen. And even if it did, it wouldn't be my fault. It's the one spewing fire all over the place.
MIEU: Mieu?! If that happened, I'd be banished for real this time!
TEAR: I can't believe I'm witnessing this level of idiocy...
Skit 16: The Cheagles' Diet
TEAR: Hey, Mieu... I've heard that cheagles are herbivores, but what exactly is it that you eat?
MIEU: Mieuu... Tataroo Grass, Baticul Grass, Yulia Grass, Fubras Grass, Katz Grass...
TEAR: Huh... You sure like your grass, don't you?
MIEU: Yup! But we eat mushrooms too!
TEAR: Do mushrooms actually grow around here?
MIEU: Yup! There's lots of them up to the north!
TEAR: That sounds interesting. Can you show me around sometime?
MIEU: Of course!
Skit 30: Kill Or...
MIEU: Master, are you okay? Isn't the fighting wearing you down?
LUKE: Shut up! I said I'm fine! If it's kill or be killed, then dammit, I'm killing! End of story! You got that?!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...
Skit 34: The Great Tree of St. Binah
TEAR: That's a really beautiful tree.
GUY: That one? That's the Soil Tree. It's the symbol of St. Binah. They say it's been around for two thousand years.
TEAR, ANISE & LUKE: Two thousand years?!
JADE: Well, that's just a hypothesis. We don't have a way to determine the tree's exact age yet.
MIEU: My home is bigger than that tree![musical note]
TEAR: It certainly was big, wasn't it?
JADE: With no human intrusion, it is an ideal environment for plants to grow in.
MIEU: Yes! My house is bigger, so I win![musical note]
LUKE: Hey, Thing! Nobody said anything about winning or losing!
MIEU: Mieu...
Skit 42: A Lovers' Quarrel?
LUKE: Hey, why can't you get along with Master Van? He's your brother, isn't he?
TEAR: Like I said, I don't trust him. He's hiding something.
LUKE: Well, you're hiding something too, aren't you?
TEAR: ......
LUKE: Say something!
MIEU: P-please, don't argue!
LUKE & TEAR: ...!
MIEU: ...Mieu...
GUY: Mieu, leave them alone. There's no point in getting involved in a lovers' quarrel.
LUKE & TEAR: ...!!
GUY: Uh... Mieu...?
MIEU: Don't be a copycat!
GUY: Heh heh heh.
LUKE: Will you quit it already?
TEAR: *Sigh*
GUY: Let's get going, you two. Save it until after things have settled down, okay?
LUKE: Yeah, yeah.
TEAR: Fair enough.
Skit 44: Luke's Diary
MIEU: Master, are you writing in your diary again?
LUKE: ...Yeah, but not because I want to. It's because Mother and everyone else will get all worried if I don't.
MIEU: I'll help too!
LUKE: Huh? How the hell are you going to help?
MIEU: I know how to write the Fonic alphabet!
LUKE: ...All right, let's see it.
MIEU: Ummm... Today...Master...called...me..."Thing"...38...times.
LUKE: ...Hey, Thing! You're not supposed to keep count!
MIEU: Mieuuu... Make that 39...
Skit 56: Of Mice and Mieu
LUKE: That monster's body was glowing blue.
GUY: Yeah... Maybe it has something to do with that door.
ANISE: But when we go after it, it just disappears...
TEAR: What should we do?
MIEU: Master, Master! Mice! Make them go away! Please!
LUKE: Huh?!
JADE: Mieu is afraid of mice? ...How cliched can you get?
GUY: Cliched...?
LUKE: Quit bothering me, would you? Just go fry them or something.
MIEU: Mieu... All right...
GUY: Oh yeah, fire!
TEAR: Ah! Fire!
ANISE: Fire?
Skit 57: The Oracle Knights Again
LUKE: Finally! Now I can get back home. That was one tough trip.
TEAR: It's too early to start relaxing.
MIEU: How come?
TEAR: The Oracle Knights may attack again.
LUKE: They sure like getting in our way, don't they? Damn, they're a pain.
MIEU: Don't worry, we'll be fine!
TEAR: ...I sure hope so...
Skit 59: Look At All That Water!
LUKE: My first boat trip, and I get those stupid headaches again... *Sigh* But I guess the sea isn't all that bad...
MIEU: Wow, look! There's water all around us!
LUKE: Would you shut up, already! Damn, you're annoying!
MIEU: Mieu... But this is my first trip to sea. I'm just surprised...
LUKE: Tch... What's so great about water anyway? I'm totally bored here. There's nothing to do.
MIEU: But Master, you just said that the sea isn't that bad...
LUKE: Stupid Thing! Are you calling me a liar? Huh?!
MIEU: M-mieu...
Skit 70: Tomorrow
GUY: Well, that takes care of things.
MIEU: I'm tired...
LUKE: Shut up, Thing!
MIEU: Mieu...
GUY: Hah hah. Well, now that you're finally home, why not rest up a bit?
ANISE: Yeah... You'll be busy again soon enough, won't you?
JADE: Indeed. The situation is dire. The war hasn't been averted yet.
TEAR: Luke, what are you going to do tomorrow?
LUKE: Tomorrow... Well, I'll ask Father what's going on with Master Van.
ION: ...It's going to be an eventful day.
Skit 77: What a Wonderful Mansion!
ANISE: Oh, Luke! Your mansion! All the way up here! It's awesome!
LUKE: Yeah? I never knew it was so high up.
ANISE: Not only that, but the manor itself is just great!
LUKE: This? Oh, it's nothing special.
ANISE: Oh, you don't have to be so modest![heart] But I like that, too... I hope I get to live in a place like this someday...
MIEU: I like the Cheagle Woods better. It's much prettier than this place!
LUKE: Nobody asked you, Thing!
MIEU: Mieuuu...
** LUKE & MIEU LEAVE **
ANISE: Stupid little...
Skit 85: Be Careful!
JADE: Luke, please take care when making use of Mieu's fire.
LUKE: Huh? Why?
JADE: It's possible there's still some oil left lingering in these pipes.
LUKE: So?
TEAR: What do you think will happen if the flames spread to those pipes? The whole factory could blow up!
LUKE: What?!
GUY: That's a very definite possibility.
LUKE: ...Humph! Like I'd make a stupid mistake like that! Hey, Thing! Watch where you spew those flames, got it?!
MIEU: Yes, Master... Safety first!
** LUKE, TEAR, GUY & MIEU LEAVE **
JADE: I guess it's a good thing I mentioned it...
Skit 104: Stop Making Fun Of Me!
LUKE: Dammit...
MIEU: Master...
LUKE: Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?! Why did Legretta call me a reject?! And everybody else is keeping all these big secrets from me! Stop making fun of me! I'm the ambassador, dammit!
MIEU: Please don't get angry...
LUKE: Then go away! Just leave me alone already! All of you, I swear!
MIEU: Master...
Skit 114: Where's Master Van?
LUKE: Those headaches again...
MIEU: Master, are you okay?
LUKE: Leave me alone!
MIEU: Mieu...
** MIEU LEAVES **
LUKE: There's still nothing for me to do... Where is Master Van, anyway? If only he were here, I could get rid of the miasma...
Skit 140: The Yulia Road
MIEU: W-wow! That was neat!
LUKE: It sure took me by surprise, getting thrown into a pool like that. You said it uses the Sephiroth, right? How does it work?
TEAR: We don't understand the theory behind it... We just make use of it. There are many more fonic artes and fon machines left from the Dawn Age, but we just don't fully understand them yet.
LUKE: Oh... The Dawn Age must have been a pretty amazing time.
TEAR: It probably was. In fact, Yulia herself is said to have helped invent most of the technology of the time.
LUKE: So that's why it's called the Yulia Road...
TEAR: Yes. Yulia is said to have founded it.
MIEU: I heard that Yulia was a great person too.
LUKE: Yeah, it sounds like it. I was never interested in that stuff, so Inever bothered to learn about it...
TEAR: Well, now's a good time to start. One step at a time.
LUKE: Yeah.
Skit 144: To Daath!
MIEU: Oh no! Is there going to be a war?
LUKE: It hasn't started yet. We can still prevent it!
MIEU: But, but, what about St. Binah?
LUKE: Oh yeah... We've got to do something about St. Binah too!
TEAR: Luke, calm down. First things first... We have to rescue Ion andNatalia from Daath.
LUKE: But Mohs is in charge, right? Won't everyone be trying to stop us? Wedon't have any time to waste dealing with them...
TEAR: Not everyone in the Order listens to Mohs. Some are on Ion's side; some are neutral. Don't worry. We have to move quickly, but calmly.
LUKE: ...Yeah, you're right. I understand. Let's hurry to Daath.
TEAR: Right.
Skit 146: Cheagles Never Forget
MIEU: Mieu, mieu mieu mieu![musical note]
TEAR: You're certainly in a good mood, Mieu.
MIEU: I am! Master got better and I'm happy!
TEAR: ...But Luke is always so mean to you. Don't you get tired of him?
MIEU: No, I know that Master's actually a nice person! That's why he saved me in the Cheagle Woods.
TEAR: ...You know, I think you've helped him quite a bit as well.
MIEU: I did? Really?! Yay! I'm going to keep on helping, breathing fire and breaking rocks! Breathing fire and breaking rocks![musical note] Breathing fire and breaking rocks![musical note]
** MIEU LEAVES **
TEAR: Actually, I meant helping in an emotional sense... But I guess it really is true that cheagles don't forget their debts.
Skit 151: A Perfect Repica
JADE: May I check your pulse for a minute, Luke?
LUKE: Huh? Okay...
JADE: Hmm... Looks all right for now.
TEAR: Colonel, is there something wrong with Luke?
JADE: Well, he's the first isofonic replica I've encountered. He seems to be stable at the moment, but I can't predict what may happen in the future.
LUKE: Huh? Am...am I going to go crazy or something?
JADE: There's no fear of that. You're already crazy.
LUKE: Hey, come on!
JADE: I'll try to check up on you from time to time, but if you feel anything unusual, let me know immediately. Understood?
LUKE: Yeah. Thanks, Jade.
JADE: Luke... Thanking me...?
LUKE: W-would you all stop doing that!
GUY: Well, you know, given your usual attitude...
MIEU: Your usual attitude!
LUKE: ...Shut up, Thing!
MIEU: Mieuuu...
Skit 157: Ring the Gongs!
JADE: These soldiers certainly are proper, coming out at the sound of the gong and everything.
TEAR: Well, of course. That's the assembly call.
JADE: But think of the opportunities for trickery here.
TEAR: The Oracle Knights are peacekeeping soldiers of the Order of Lorelei! Who could do such a childish...
JADE: Who, indeed? Who was it that just rang the gong to lure a soldier out to play with? That seems like the same thing to me.[musical note]
ANISE: Yeah, this is really fun![musical note]
MIEU: Fun! Fun!
TEAR: Th-this isn't a game! It's a strategy to lure the enemy out...
JADE: Ringing the gong to fool the soldiers into following a nonexistent order, throwing them into chaos. Yes, a very enjoyable little game.
TEAR: ...I guess there is no assembly order...but... Are we really just tricking them...?
JADE: Ah, the worries of youth...
GUY: You're the one who made her worry...
Skit 158: Twisted Love?!
ANISE: Ion, can't you be more careful? Getting caught like that... Man... What are you, a princess?!
TEAR: It just shows how important a figure he is.
ANISE: Well, yeah, I know that... But his personality is part of it, too. How can he be so...well, naive?
LUKE: Yeah, he does seem to let other people use him a lot...
TEAR: Oh, come on! The Fon Master is a fine person! Though...I will admit that he can be...at times...a bit too trusting.
GUY: ...He'd make a perfect comedian, though.
JADE: With Anise as his foil, I suppose? Now that would be something to see...
ANISE: Ugh! Stop it, all of you! I don't want to hear another bad word about Ion!
GUY: Hey, you started it.
ANISE: I can complain about him, but nobody else can! You do it again, I'll kill you!
** ANISE LEAVES **
LUKE: Wh-whoa...
TEAR: I wonder why she's so upset?
GUY: It's easy. Right, Colonel?
JADE: Ah, the scent of love is in the air.
LUKE & TEAR: Love?!
MIEU: I don't smell anything. What's it smell like? Apple gels?
JADE: More like a certain young religious leader.
MIEU: Really?! Wow!
** TEAR, JADE, GUY & MIEU LEAVE **
LUKE: ...Would somebody please shut these two up?
Skit 164: Looking for Love
MIEU: It's so cold... The sorcerer's ring is freezing my tummy!
ION: Cheagles don't like the cold, do they? I'm not fond of it myself.
MIEU: I want some nice warm sunlight...
** MIEU LEAVES **
TEAR: It may be a little cold, but the town is so beautiful at night, moonlight on the silver snow...
NATALIA: Wouldn't it be splendid to walk with a gentleman through such beauty?
ANISE: Yeah! That would be so great!
LUKE: *Achoo!* So cold... My belly's going to freeze solid...
** LUKE LEAVES **
GUY: *Sigh* Why do ladies at resorts have to get so close when they come talk to you...? I can't even go outside at this point...
** GUY LEAVES **
NATALIA: ...It looks like we have little hope with that group.
ANISE: Huh? What about the maybe-not-so-bad-after-all Colonel?
ION: I saw him walk off with a pretty woman earlier...
ANISE: But there's already three pretty women right here!
ION: Heh heh. Yes, indeed.
TEAR: Oh, I think it's cute the way he's worried about his tummy freezing.
NATALIA: Oh my...
ANISE: Well...
ION: Heh heh heh...
TEAR: W-what?
NATALIA: Nothing at all.
ANISE: Best wishes!
ION: I think you make a fine pair.
TEAR: ...I was talking about Mieu...
Skit 165: Errors and Excuses
LUKE: Mieu, what do you think about what Nephry said?
MIEU: What do you mean?
LUKE: About how Jade killed Professor Nebilim... And then worked on fomicry to bring her back to life...
MIEU: I don't know... It's too hard to understand.
LUKE: Oh...sorry. I just wanted to ask someone...
JADE: Didn't you promise not to tell anyone?
LUKE: Whoa!
JADE: At this rate, it looks like you'll be breaking that promise in short order.
LUKE: No, I won't! Really!
MIEU: Me too! Really!
JADE: Well, I still have my doubts, but I believe you yourself can understand why there is no point in discussing it with anyone.
LUKE: Yeah. Nobody's going to make excuses for what you've done wrong, and you're not supposed to really be looking for them anyway...
JADE: Indeed. If you put too much effort into making excuses, you end up running from your mistakes. Accepting the truth is a difficult thing to do. But it is also necessary.
LUKE: Yeah.
MIEU: Yes!
JADE: Excellent. And you are, of course, aware that SHOULD you tell this to anyone, you will be...punished.
LUKE: Y-yeah...
MIEU: Yes...
Skit 166: Cruising in Style
LUKE: Wow. Looks like the Tartarus has no problem on the sea, either.
GUY: Yeah, it was built for both land and sea, but it's really just a landship that happens to float. Real warships will have no problem outrunning it.
JADE: Indeed.
ION: Nonetheless, I've grown used to the Tartarus. I find it more comfortable than some ferries.
LUKE: Yeah, me too.
NATALIA: Luke! The Tartarus is a Malkuth craft, you know. Kimlasca-Lanvaldear's cruise ship, the Princess Natalia, is much more enjoyable.
ANISE: Yeah, that sounds a lot better.
GUY: Really? I think men would take the Tartarus any day.
MIEU: The Tartarus!
ANISE: How about you, Tear? The Princess Natalia, right?
LUKE: The Tartarus, of course!
TEAR: I...I kind of like Tokunaga...
ALL: ......
TEAR: ...N-never mind.
Skit 175: In Order to Change
LUKE: For all the threat of war, people seem to be pretty calm here.
TEAR: That's probably because we haven't told anyone where we come from.
NATALIA: It would undoubtedly draw ire if Luke's or my identities became known.
MIEU: Mieuu... Can't everybody just get along?
GUY: Hah hah. Get along, huh? Well, both sides are victims here... If only they could forget the past, they might find a way to forgive each other.
ANISE: Too bad they're still busy blaming each other for the destruction of Hod.
ION: But giving up and just blithely accepting the Score won't change anything either.
JADE: They wish to change, but they can't... A poor excuse. One only used by those who don't really want to change at all.
LUKE: ...You sound like you're talking about me.
JADE: Perhaps because I am. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to rest my aging bones.
** JADE LEAVES **
LUKE: ...Man, he gets on my nerves.
TEAR: So change. And then you can change others.
LUKE: ...Yeah.
Skit 177: Quit Blaming Yourself!
MIEU: Did you see the big hole in the ground?
LUKE: Yeah...more and more is falling into the Qliphoth. All because I destroyed the Akzeriuth Sephiroth...
ANISE: You can stop saying that now, silly.
LUKE: What do you mean, "silly"?! It's my responsibility--
ANISE: Ooh, he's angry. But all this "responsibility" stuff is getting old. Give it a rest.
LUKE: ......
ANISE: We all know you're working hard, but don't go overboard. It's not good for you.[musical note]
LUKE: ...Anise, are you trying to make me feel better?
ANISE: Yeah! Well, maybe not a "Yay! Fun! Whoopie!" kinda thing, but kind of a "Let's do this! Raaargh!" kinda thing. How's that?
MIEU: Very comforting!
ANISE: Well, I see one smart creature here.[musical note]
LUKE: Hah hah hah. Thanks, Anise.
ANISE: Sure thing.[musical note]
** LUKE & MIEU LEAVE **
ANISE: Oh man. He sure can be a pain...
Skit 196: Practice Makes...
TEAR: Can't sleep?
LUKE: ...No. I don't know... It's just that there's so much to think about.
TEAR: True. There has been a lot going on.
MIEU: We haven't had any time to stop and rest.
LUKE: Yeah. And it doesn't look like we're going to, either...
TEAR: Well, we certainly are being pushed from one thing to another. But it's important to rest when you can. Okay?
LUKE: ...Yeah. I'll go write in my diary or something and see if that helps.
TEAR: Practice makes perfect.
LUKE: Hah hah... I remember you saying something like that before, too. Someday, when I'm an adult and I look back on this diary, I want to be able to think that I really did change.
Skit 204: Safe Reunion
LUKE: That was a pretty reckless thing to do.
JADE: The same could be said of you.
GUY: Well, at least we all managed to meet up again.
MIEU: Yeah.
TEAR: I'm glad the people from Engeve made it here safely as well.
NATALIA: But we still have work to do.
ANISE: Yeah! We have to go find that Count Almandine and talk to him.
ION: Yes, let's hurry.
Skit 212: It Worked!
MIEU: It worked!
JADE: The battlefield made it down safely as well.
LUKE: Now that we know we can operate multiple passage rings at the same time, if someplace distant starts to fall, we can just do the same sort of thing remotely.
GUY: Yeah. This way, we won't have to be running all over the place.
LUKE: The battlefield falling into the Qliphoth must have changed the state of war.
GUY: Yeah...so why don't we take a little break now? We haven't had a real chance to rest since St. Binah. Tear looks like she's pretty exhausted.
LUKE: Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
MIEU: Time to rest!
Skit 213: Mommy, Are We There Yet?
ANISE: We're not there yet? We've walked all this way...
GUY: Well, we've gone deeper into the ruins than last time. I imagine that's why it feels longer.
ANISE: But look how far down we've come! And we have to walk back up through all this to get out? No way!
MIEU: No way!
JADE: We don't have time for complaints.
ANISE: I know. I know. Boooooo.
JADE: Besides, Guy says he'll carry you on the way back.
ANISE: Ooh, really? Uh...Guy, can you do that?
GUY: ...Well, as much as I'd like to...
ANISE: Figures... I guess you can't do anything about your special condition.
GUY: Special condition, huh...? Well, maybe I just need a special lady to condition me.
ALL: ......
JADE: Well, THAT certainly perked us all up, didn't it? Let's get moving.
Skit 217: Who's the Bad Guy?
MIEU: I don't know who's the bad guy anymore...
LUKE: Yeah... We can't tell what Asch is up to, or whether the Six God-Generals are really taking orders from Master Van or not.
NATALIA: Or what Dist's true intentions are.
MIEU: I have no idea!
LUKE: About the only thing that IS clear is Mohs' plan... But we can't let them go and start a war just because the Score says so! We'd better do something before Mohs starts feeding lies to Uncle.
NATALIA: I suppose we have no choice but to meet with him...
LUKE: Yeah, that's probably the only way.
NATALIA: I'm afraid...afraid of Father rejecting me... I'm sorry, excuse me.
** NATALIA LEAVES **
LUKE: Natalia...
MIEU: Poor Natalia...
Skit 220: What We Can Do For Natalia
LUKE: It looks like Natalia's getting hold of herself again.
TEAR: Thanks to Guy.
GUY: I just didn't like seeing her all gloomy like that. She's one of us. It's our job to keep her spirits up.
TEAR: You really are nice, aren't you?
LUKE: Yeah. A little ditzy, though.
GUY: I never expected to hear YOU call ME ditzy.
MIEU: Ditzy! Ditzy!
LUKE: Look who's talking!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...
TEAR: Hee hee. But Natalia still has a lot ahead for her to face. I hope we can help her.
LUKE: Yeah.
Skit 226: Friends...?!
LUKE: I can't figure out whether Asch is on our side or not...
MIEU: But he helped you so much!
LUKE: Well, yeah...but he keeps so many secrets.
MIEU: He is a mystery...
LUKE: I wonder if he's going to come with us.
MIEU: Do you want him to?
LUKE: No way! ...is what I'd like to say, but... ...Given what we're trying to do, I guess it might be better to have him along.
MIEU: So why don't you just ask him to be friends?
LUKE: No way! And I mean it on that one!
Skit 240: Natalia's Resolve
ANISE: I hope the King will understand.
MIEU: Me too...
TEAR: Luke and Natalia are both taking a significant risk in returning to Baticul. I'm sure he will understand.
LUKE: We'll have to make sure he does.
NATALIA: Yes. The Outer Lands will fall to the Qliphoth very soon. In order to lower them safely, both countries need to cooperate...now, more than ever.
ION: Yes, they do.
LUKE: Natalia, thanks for deciding to go.
NATALIA: I do not have time to be worrying about the circumstances of my birth. I will do what I must.
GUY: Natalia...
MIEU: Natalia, you're great!
JADE: The world will change, one way or another. People must accept that, or they'll have no future.
ANISE: Yeah, this isn't the time for stupid wars!
ION: Both countries need to take a step forward from their history of conflict.
GUY: Absolutely.
LUKE: Okay, let's go!
Skit 244: Natalia, I'm So Happy for You
ANISE: Natalia, I'm so happy for you!
MIEU: Me too!
TEAR: After seventeen years together, petty things like bloodlines shouldn't mean anything.
NATALIA: Thank you. I had never thought I would be so happy to be accepted.
GUY: You'll have plenty of time to talk things over with the King now.
LUKE: Yeah. Now that he's accepted Natalia, he's acting more like he did before the war.
NATALIA: Yes...but I doubt we can think of each other as we had before I learned the truth. As Guy said, the coming months and years will be important for us.
GUY: Yeah, but there's no rush. You'll have plenty of time together.
ANISE: Especially now that Mohs can't get in the way again.
TEAR: Yes, I think Kimlasca is safe in the King's hands now.
GUY: I hope so, anyway...
LUKE: Hmm? Guy, did you say something?
GUY: No, it's nothing. Let's head for Grand Chokmah.
LUKE: Yeah, let's go.
Skit 252: Peace at Last...?
LUKE: Finally, an end to the war...
NATALIA: Yes, finally.
JADE: It's unfortunate that there were casualties, but at least we managed to get this far.
MIEU: Yeah, good job!
ANISE: Now we just have to lower the Outer Lands and take care of the miasma.
TEAR: I'm a bit concerned that Van hasn't shown himself, but so far, so good, I guess.
ION: Yes.
GUY: Now, let's just see how things go...
TEAR: What's wrong, Guy?
LUKE: Is something bothering you?
GUY: Huh? Oh, nothing. Come on, let's go.
LUKE: ...Okay.
Skit 256: Mieu's a Genius?!
MIEU: Master, are you writing in your diary again?
LUKE: Hmm? Yeah... That reminds me--
** LUKE STARTS SQUISHING MIEU **
LUKE: Stupid Thing!
MIEU: Master, that...that hurts...!
** LUKE STOPS SQUISHING MIEU **
TEAR: Luke! Don't do that to Mieu! Stop it!
LUKE: Shut up! He's been scribbling in my diary!
TEAR: Oh...you have?
MIEU: N-no... I was just writing in it for the days Master didn't write.
TEAR: ...Wow, so you did. Your handwriting looks so much like Luke's, I didn't notice.
LUKE: ...Wait a minute, are you saying I have bad handwriting?
TEAR: Mieu, you're a genius!
MIEU: Aww, well...
LUKE: ...Now wait a minute...
Skit 260: Priorities
LUKE: Tear, how are you doing?
TEAR: Fine. The medicine's working well.
MIEU: I'm worried...
GUY: Yeah, don't push yourself.
TEAR: Don't worry. Let's work on lowering the Outer Lands.
ION: Tear...
JADE: So let's go.
ANISE: There you go again, Colonel.
JADE: Not at all. I'm worried too, but we've decided to proceed. There's no point in waiting.
TEAR: Exactly. We have to finish up before Van interferes again.
NATALIA: Yes, but...
LUKE: If things get tough, let us know.
TEAR: I will.
Skit 264: The Seventh Fonstone Score
LUKE: I wonder what the Seventh Fonstone says about the future. I wonder if it's an unpleasant future, like Master Van says...
ION: No one knows the answer to that question. No one, except the descendants of Yulia...
MIEU: Mieuu... Even cheagles don't know.
NATALIA: Perhaps...perhaps Van chose to destroy the original world and create a new one all because he knew that Score?
JADE: It is true that, aside from Luke's appearance, Yulia's Score has been an almost perfect predictor of history. If Luke himself is foretold in the Score of the Seventh Fonstone, then perhaps...
GUY: Hey! We're here to lower the Outer Lands and protect our world, right?
JADE: I was speaking hypothetically. I think that if Luke WERE mentioned in the Score of the Seventh Fonstone, Van would never have created him in the first place.
ANISE: So you mean Luke's existence wasn't foretold by Yulia?
JADE: ...No, probably not. Hypothetically, of course.
NATALIA: In any case, the Seventh Score... No, the whole of Yulia's Score plainly holds significant power over this world.
TEAR: ...Huh? ...Yes...I suppose.
LUKE: ...Tear?
TEAR: I'm sorry. Don't worry, it's nothing...
Skit 276: Worried About Tear's Health
LUKE: Well, it looks like everything's taken care of, but I'm still worried about Tear...
GUY: Yeah. Knowing her, she's probably still pushing herself.
MIEU: I'm worried too...
LUKE: I wish I could tell her to stop wearing herself out...
GUY: But if you did...
LUKE: Yeah, she wouldn't like it at all.
MIEU: Mieu...
LUKE: As soon as we're done with the passage rings, let's find a way to cure her once and for all.
GUY: Yeah, let's do that.
Skit 281: The Coming Confrontation
ANISE: I wonder if Arietta will show up on Mt. Roneal, too...
JADE: Given their concern with our attempt to lower the Outer Lands, it wouldn't surprise me to see them throw all of their strength at us.
TEAR: ...Including Largo?
JADE: The possibility does exist.
MIEU: Mieuuu... I'm scared of that big man.
TEAR: Don't worry, Mieu. We'll protect you.
JADE: Besides, Mieu has a very important role to fill...
MIEU: Mieu?
JADE: ...Emergency rations, you know?
MIEU: M-m-mieu?!
** MIEU LEAVES **
TEAR: D-don't worry, Mieu!
ANISE: Colonel, that's not funny.
JADE: Hah hah, I was serious.
TEAR: ......
ANISE: ...You're the worst.
Skit 282: When the World Changes
LUKE: Soon the entire world will change.
JADE: The question is, will people be able to accept the change...?
MIEU: I'm a little scared, too.
NATALIA: Even if we lower the Outer Lands and eliminate the miasma, we may not be able to live like we did before.
LUKE: I guess some disorder can't be helped...
MIEU: Everybody in the forest will probably be surprised, too...
NATALIA: It is the responsibility of the rulers of Kimlasca and Malkuth to look after their people. That is the purpose of royalty, of government. As for the cheagles...we'll have to leave that to Mieu. Mieu, you can handle that, can't you?
MIEU: I'll try!
JADE: For now, let's worry about our own goals.
LUKE: Yeah.
Skit 288: The Decisive Battle
LUKE: So this is it... Everything gets settled today.
TEAR: The Outer Lands, the miasma, Van's ambitions...
MIEU: I'm excited!
GUY: It sure has been an eventful journey, though...
ANISE: Reminiscing like that is a sure sign of old-fogeyness, you know.
GUY: Hey, I'm not that old!
NATALIA: Hee hee. It certainly forced us to confront what our duties truly are.
JADE: And we still have one duty left.
LUKE: Yeah. Let's head for the Absorption Gate and stop Master Van!
ALL: Yeah!
Skit 292: Our Final Duty
TEAR: If we lower the Outer Lands, the miasma will disappear as well...right?
JADE: Yes. In theory.
LUKE: Tear...let's do it. Let's put the Outer Lands and the Qliphoth back the way they should be. Then I can finally make up for all this.
TEAR: Yes...yes, let's do that, Luke. This is our final mission.
GUY: Hah hah hah. Serious to the end, huh, Tear?
TEAR: Of course. I'm a soldier.
ANISE: Ow! That makes it sound like me and the Colonel are poor soldiers.
JADE: Well, let's leave the serious matters to Tear and continue in our lighthearted ways.
NATALIA: You never cease to amaze me...though I suppose I've become rather used to it by now.
LUKE: Heh heh...we certainly make a strange group, don't we?
GUY: I think it's just fine.
MIEU: Me too!
JADE: Well then, shall we proceed on our merry way?
ANISE: Sure thing, Colonel!
Skit 299: One Month Later
LUKE: *Sigh*
MIEU: Master, ever since we came back, you've been sighing all the time...
LUKE: Yeah... I guess there's just a lot on my mind.
MIEU: Like what?
LUKE: Stuff... How everybody's doing, what's going to happen next... What Asch is up to, I guess...
MIEU: Hmm...
LUKE: And now I've managed to blow a whole month thinking about them...
MIEU: Master...
Skit 300: What is Everyone Up To?
MIEU: It's been so long since we've seen everybody! I'm so excited!
LUKE: Yeah...it sure has been a while.
MIEU: What's everybody been up to?
LUKE: Tear's probably in Yulia City helping out Teodoro. I think Guy is with Jade in Grand Chokmah. Ion's the Fon Master, so he's in Daath, and Anise apparently got her job back as Fon Master Guardian. And Natalia's been all over the place as an emissary of Kimlasca.
MIEU: They sound busy.
LUKE: Yeah...I'm the only one who's been sitting around, really.
MIEU: Oh, it's all right! You've been eating all your meals properly!
LUKE: That doesn't really make me feel any better, Mieu.
MIEU: Mieu...
Skit 301: Mieu's Name
LUKE: Wait... If I'm going to borrow the Albiore, I'll need Noelle's help too.
MIEU: Can't you fly it yourself?
LUKE: Guy might've been able to. Me...well, I'm not much good for anything.
MIEU: That's not true! You gave me the name "Thing"!
LUKE: ...*Sigh* I'm sorry I called you that...
MIEU: Mieu? Are you taking it back?
LUKE: (...Well, he really is, like, a "thing," but...)
Skit 302: Let's Go to Yulia City
LUKE: I wonder what kind of business Asch might have in Yulia City...
MIEU: At least we know where he went now.
LUKE: Yeah.
MIEU: And Tear's in Yulia City, too!
LUKE: Who said anything about Tear?
MIEU: Mieu? Don't you want to see her?
LUKE: Well...yeah, I want to...I mean, I want to see everybody.
MIEU: Do you want to see Tear or not?
LUKE: I said everybody, not just Tear! Come on, we're going! B-besides, if we miss Asch, we'll have to go find him again!
MIEU: Mieu? What are you angry about?
LUKE: Look, you're getting on my nerves today!
MIEU: What did I do...?
Skit 303: Let's See Tear
LUKE: What's Asch up to, anyway? Is he just going to skip out on Baticul entirely...?
MIEU: I don't know...
LUKE: The core, Lorelei, the Planet Storm... I don't have a clue what's going on.
MIEU: Would Tear know?
LUKE: She's writing up a report, so she probably knows something. Let's go see her.
MIEU: Okay.
Skit 304: Tear Hasn't Changed at All
TEAR: Hee hee... Luke, Mieu, it's nice to see you again.
MIEU: You too!
LUKE: Yeah, it feels like it's been a long time.
TEAR: Yes, it does.
LUKE: Though it looks like you haven't changed at all.
TEAR: I kept myself prepared so I could leave at any time.
MIEU: Mieu mieu?
TEAR: Even with the crust lowered, there's no telling what could happen... These Order of Lorelei clothes may still prove useful.
LUKE: What are you talking about?
TEAR: Um, my clothes?
LUKE: Hah hah hah... You really haven't changed, have you? That's a relief.
MIEU: Heh heh heh. Master, you look a little more cheerful now.
LUKE: Yeah, I guess.
TEAR: ...?
Skit 305: How Has Anise Been?
LUKE: I wonder if Anise is the same as always.
TEAR: The same as always?
LUKE: Wanting a rich husband and all that.
TEAR: Oh... Well, there are lots of problems going on in Daath, and Fon Master Ion is undoubtedly busy, so she probably doesn't have much time to worry about that.
LUKE: From reading her letter, it doesn't sound like she's changed at all...
TEAR: I'm sure she has. She's even been restored to her post as Fon Master Guardian.
LUKE: Want to bet on it?
TEAR: Bet? Bet what?
LUKE: The right to be called "master" by Mieu.
TEAR: ...! You're on!
MIEU: Mieuuu... Don't I get a say...?
Skit 306: Cheerful Anise
LUKE: Anise certainly hasn't changed.
MIEU: Yeah, she's so cheerful!
TEAR: Even so, pocketing illicit donations is going too far.
LUKE: Come on. It was just a little. It's not that big a deal. That woman didn't seem to mind.
TEAR: Tricking people out of their money is still wrong.
MIEU: It's wrong!
LUKE: Okay, okay. But debt, huh...? Must be tough on Anise.
TEAR: Yes. She did say her parents had been tricked into it...
LUKE: Maybe we should ask her about it later.
TEAR: I don't know... She may have her own reasons for hiding it.
LUKE: Oh, yeah... I guess we shouldn't pry.
TEAR: Anyway, right now we need to see Ion.
LUKE: Yeah.
MIEU: Let's go!
Skit 321: The Threatening Lava
LUKE: Whoa!
TEAR: Are you okay? If that gets you, it'll leave you with more than just blisters.
LUKE: I-I'm okay, barely... But isn't there anything we can do about the lava bursts?
TEAR: We'll just have to watch its movement and tread carefully.
LUKE: *Sigh* ...It sure would be easier if we could fly...
** LUKE & TEAR LEAVE **
MIEU: Mieu?
Skit 322: Keeping Cool
LUKE: ...Every time we go someplace hot like this, I always wonder if Jade's using some kind of fonic arte to keep himself cool.
NATALIA: Yes, I get the same feeling.
MIEU: That's not fair...
JADE: Oh, please. There's no way I could use fonic artes that precisely.
GUY: No...there has to be some secret to it... Maybe in those clothes...?
NATALIA: Yes, Malkuth could easily have invented air-conditioned uniforms.
LUKE: ...Take it off.
JADE: What?
GUY: Yeah, take it off.
NATALIA: Yes, remove it right now!
MIEU: Take...it...off!
JADE: C-calm down, you... Wh-what are you...?!
TEAR: ...I can't believe you're trying to undress a soldier in his thirties! How could you?!
ALL: Huh?! ......
JADE: *Blush*
Skit 335: Luke Overdoing Things
GUY: Hmm...
TEAR: What's wrong, Guy?
GUY: Oh, I was just thinking about Luke...
MIEU: What about Master?
GUY: He still doesn't realize that he's part of the reason Asch gets so angry.
TEAR: ...Luke overdoes everything, doesn't he? Too arrogant, too excited, too depressed, too repentant...
GUY: Yeah. He treated Mieu pretty horribly, too.
MIEU: No it wasn't! Master was just playing with me! It was fun!
TEAR: That's not playing, Mieu! You can't just--
MIEU: Master even gave me a name! It made me so happy![musical note]
GUY: ...Yeah, I...I guess it's not a bad name, is it? Thing...
MIEU: It's great![musical note]
GUY: Do you suppose Mieu's been infected by Luke? Now he's overdoing it, too...
TEAR: Yes...poor thing, he's so easily fooled.
Skit 336: Revenge for Ion!
LUKE: That bastard Mohs!
ANISE: We're going to get him!
MIEU: Yeah!
JADE: Everyone, if you don't cool down--
NATALIA: That filthy coward doesn't deserve to be called a holy anything!
TEAR: It's time to avenge Ion!
GUY: ...Even Tear's lost her composure.
JADE: Well, I do understand their feelings...
GUY: But we need to remain calm, now more than ever...right?
JADE: Exactly.
Skit 345: The Isle of Feres
LUKE: Could a tidal wave have destroyed the town this completely?
TEAR: The power of water is frightening...
MIEU: I can't swim... I hope a tidal wave doesn't come again.
LUKE: Don't worry; we're safe. We have the Albiore, anyway.
TEAR: ...It doesn't look like much of Feres' population could have survived.
LUKE: The collapse of Hod's affected so many other places... Akzeriuth, too...
MIEU: Mieuuu...
Skit 353: Crossed Wires
MIEU: The woods are so quiet...
LUKE: Maybe because the God-Generals are here.
MIEU: Yeah, probably...
GUY: The creatures of the forest may have realized what's about to happen...
MIEU: I'm Arietta's enemy too... I'm a no-good cheagle...
LUKE: You mean about the ligers...? Oh, that's just because everyone got their wires crossed. You can't really blame anyone for that...
MIEU: ...But I don't have any wires, Master...
LUKE: Uh...don't worry about it, Mieu...
Skit: 355: Let Her Be
ANISE: Okay, onward and upward!
NATALIA: ...She really is pushing herself, isn't she?
TEAR: Yes...
MIEU: Anise?
ANISE: What?
MIEU: There are tears on your face.
ANISE: *Sniff* This is the sweat of youth! No tears, nope! Enough about the past, let's go forward!
** ANISE LEAVES **
LUKE: Maybe we shouldn't try too hard to comfort her.
JADE: I'd say that Anise is less concerned with the pain of killing Arietta, and more concerned about worrying us by showing that pain. We should let her be. It's quite admirable for such a little girl, wouldn't you say?
GUY: Yeah. She fought Arietta. She'll have to cope with that herself. All we can do is watch over her.
LUKE: ...Right.
Skit 363: Unending Troubles
NATALIA: At last. Now we just need to ensure that the international conference proceeds uninterrupted...
LUKE: ...Yeah...
GUY: The heads of the three major powers... Everything's secure. And I can't imagine them making unreasonable demands at this point.
LUKE: ...Yeah...
TEAR: But as long as people are involved, nothing is certain. I think we should assist in keeping the conference secure.
LUKE: ...Yeah...
MIEU: Master, does your stomach hurt or something?
LUKE: ...Yeah...
JADE: Your father will go bald one of these days.
LUKE: ...Yeah...
ANISE: Luke's completely gone, isn't he.
JADE: Well, the lights are on...but sadly, nobody seems to be home.
GUY: Neutralizing the miasma again? ...What an idiot.
TEAR: Luke...
Skit 374: The Cruel Truth
TEAR: Why did things have to end up like this...
MIEU: Tear...you look like you're suffering...
TEAR: No, it's Luke who's suffering...
MIEU: But you were saved before... Can't Master be saved too?
TEAR: ...I don't know. But...if the Colonel isn't saying anything, then...
MIEU: ......
TEAR: Isn't there anything I can do? Can't I help him somehow? I...I...
MIEU: I'm sad too... I love Master... He saved me once. I wish I could disappear instead of him...
TEAR: Mieu...don't say things like that. I want all of us to be together... All of us, as long as possible. I just wish I had the power to make that happen. But I...I can't do anything...
Skit 375: After Natalia
LUKE: I hope Natalia doesn't go and do anything rash...
ANISE: Even if she does, Largo controls himself pretty well, so things should be okay.
GUY: Where would Largo be? The port?
JADE: Yes. I doubt he'd have crossed the desert.
MIEU: To the port! Let's hurry!
TEAR: Yes. Stay calm, Natalia...!
Skit 378: Thinking of Tear
LUKE: Tear's in the same position as Natalia, isn't she...? She never shows it, so I tend to forget.
MIEU: Tear's a nice person, so she doesn't let you see when she's hurt.
LUKE: ...Yeah, I know, but...
MIEU: So just be nice to her.
LUKE: I said I know, Thing! You don't need to tell me!
MIEU: Mieuuuu... Master, can I ask something?
LUKE: ...What?
MIEU: Why do you call me Thing?
LUKE: Oh...well...you know... You're blue, have weird ears, sound like a girl, and breathe fire... You're a thing.
MIEU: Mieuuuu... I don't understand...
LUKE: Don't worry. Anyway I'll...I'll try to keep Tear in mind.
Skit 389: A Great Resolve - All
LUKE: Everybody ready?
ANISE: Who died and made you boss?
LUKE: ...Shut up!
GUY: Hah hah. Don't tease him, Anise.
NATALIA: We're fully prepared, of course.
TEAR: Yes, we can fight any time.
MIEU: Me too!
JADE: Well, let's not get too excited just because it's the final battle. Besides, once we're safely back, I'll finally be free from having to play babysitter.
LUKE: You always have to say things like that, don't you?
JADE: My apologies.
ANISE: Aaaaanyway, this is our final battle.
LUKE: Yeah. Let's go!
Skit 392: Thinking Back
MIEU: Things sure have gotten tough.
LUKE: Yeah. It went from a little trip to a worldwide crisis.
MIEU: I never imagined any of this would happen when I left the woods.
LUKE: Me too. All of a sudden I got blown out of the manor, and before I knew it I was caught up in all this...
MIEU: Master...
LUKE: A lot sure has happened. I found out I wasn't really Luke, I destroyed Akzeriuth, I neutralized the miasma...and now...
MIEU: Master!
LUKE: Hah hah. Don't worry. I've still got things to do. I still have to settle things with Asch...and Master Van!
MIEU: Good luck, Master!
Skit 405: The Final Battle Looms
MIEU: I'm scared... My tail's shaking...
GUY: So we're almost to the end...
JADE: I'm sure you're all aware of this, but our goal is not to battle Van, but to free Lorelei from within Van and shut down the fomicry devices on Eldrant.
LUKE: Yeah. That's why we have the Key of Lorelei and Tear's fonic hymns.
JADE: It will be a fierce battle, so prepare yourselves. Tear, if you have a chance, sing the Grand Fonic Hymn. That should nullify some of Van's power.
TEAR: I'll try.
ANISE: And the rest of us just gang up on him, right?
JADE: No. We need an escape route, so two of us will stay out of the battle.
NATALIA: But we must fight with all our strength!
JADE: Remember, our goal is not defeating Van. In the worst case, we need to be able to at least destroy the fomicry facilities on Eldrant.
LUKE: Yeah...let's follow Jade's plan. Four of us will free Lorelei, and the others will secure our escape route.
MIEU: I'll help too!
GUY: Right.
TEAR: I'm ready.
ANISE: Me too.
NATALIA: I'll do my best.
LUKE: Let's go, everyone!
Skit 408: Yulia's Thoughts and Feelings
GUY: I wonder what Yulia thinks of this situation...
TEAR: She's probably grieving...or rather, I hope she is.
ANISE: I sure don't want to imagine Yulia taking Van's side.
LUKE: Don't worry. Lorelei isn't cooperating with Master Van, and Yulia made a pact with Lorelei. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything to upset Lorelei.
GUY: Yeah. Yulia, please lend us strength...
MIEU: Please...
Skit 417: Mind Over Matter
LUKE: I wonder if mushrooms can really help Mother's condition...
MIEU: Mind over matter! If you think it works, then it'll work!
LUKE: Yeah, right... But I guess if she's been using it up to now, it must have some effect.
MIEU: Yup! Let's go find the Rugnican death cap. You can recognize it by the sweet smell!
LUKE: Sweet smell?
MIEU: Yup. It smells just like the cake I had at your home.
LUKE: Huh? When did you eat cake?
MIEU: Ramdas gave some to me the other day. It was good!
LUKE: But aren't you an herbivore? Wouldn't cake be poisonous to you?
MIEU: P-poison?! Am I going to die?
LUKE: I don't know about dying, but...
MIEU: Mieuuu... I'm going to die...
** MIEU LEAVES **
LUKE: Mind over matter, huh...?
Skit 421: It Looks Good on You
MIEU: Wow, Master! Great job!
LUKE: Heh...it's nothing that great.
ANISE: Oh, I think you're pretty happy about it inside, though. Aren't you?
LUKE: Shut up!
TEAR: I think those clothes look better than what you usually wear.
ANISE: Yeah, me too.
NATALIA: Your ordinary dress is so vulgar.
LUKE: Don't you go complaining about my clothes, Natalia!
NATALIA: Well! Why are you singling me out?
LUKE: Because all your stuff is gaudy, tacky crap!
NATALIA: How can you say that, when you dress no better than a delinquent?!
MIEU: Both of you, please stop arguing! Natalia's tacky clothes, and Master's delinquent look... They both suit you really well...
LUKE: ......
NATALIA: ......
Skit 440: The Pastime of Nobility?
MIEU: Master, I'm so dizzy...
ANISE: What's so fun about these huge mazes, anyway?
NATALIA: Why, they're very common in palaces and the like.
GUY: Oh yeah, there used to be a huge garden maze at the palace in Belkend. It's been torn down, though.
LUKE: Huh... Nobles seem to come to the Labyrinth Mansion a lot, too... I wonder if rich people like getting lost.
ANISE: Maybe it's a noble pastime of noble families, but I still don't see what's so fun about getting lost on purpose.
MIEU: Me neither.
LUKE: Heh, I didn't realize both of you were so alike.
ANISE: H-hey! And who was it that was complaining about running around in circles all the time?!
LUKE: L-leave me alone!
Skit 446: Birds of a Feather
ANISE: Ooh, look at that! Neat!
MIEU: Anise, there's neat stuff over there too! Let's go![musical note]
** ANISE & MIEU LEAVE **
TEAR: ...Guy? What are you so restless about?
LUKE: Oh, he probably just wants to see all the machines.
NATALIA: Oh? In that case, why don't you go and look?
GUY: ...Really? Well, if you don't mind... Woo-hoo!
** GUY LEAVES **
LUKE: When he gets like that, he's just like Anise and Mieu...
Skit 449: Working Together
MIEU: Master, that was great![musical note]
LUKE: ...Huh? What was?
MIEU: In the battle! You kept on hitting and hitting. I counted... You got at least 30 in a row!
LUKE: ...Humph, that's nothing. Though it is kind of tough to get all the artes and combinations together...
MIEU: With Tear and everybody attacking, and Jade's magic, we can get rid of any monster![musical note]
LUKE: ...Why you...!
MIEU: Ow! Master, why did you kick me?
LUKE: ...Humph!
Skit 467: Dr. Jade
ANISE: So, Colonel, why don't you go dissect some of these monsters?
JADE: Hmm... I'm not a biologist, but in these clothes, I do feel like I could manage it.
ANISE: Shining scalpel in hand, the genius surgeon Jade Curtiss dissects the monsters of the world!
JADE: We'll start with Mieu...
MIEU: M-m-m-m-m-me?! No! I don't taste any good!
JADE: I never said anything about eating you.
ANISE: ...If I saw that serious look in your eyes, I'd run too.
Skit 474: Cooking Like a Man!
LUKE: It's ready! Come and get it!
GUY: I have to say, I never imagined you'd learn to cook this well.
NATALIA: Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
MIEU: Master, you're great!
LUKE: Heh, you bet I am!
TEAR: And you didn't even know how to buy things... This is quite a surprise.
LUKE: What does that have to do with it?!
JADE: Flavor aside, I'm quite impressed.
ANISE: Yeah, it's actually edible.
LUKE: Hey, I made that all right? You can be a little nicer!
GUY: Well, it's not that bad.
TEAR: No, it isn't.
NATALIA: It will fill our stomachs, at least.
LUKE: Arrgh! If you're going to complain, I'll just eat it all myself!
ANISE: Yeah, right.
JADE: You'll get fat.
LUKE: Arrrrgh!
Skit 478: A Princess' Meal To Remember
NATALIA: I've done it! Yes, it's done!
LUKE: What is?
TEAR: What is it, Natalia?
NATALIA: The meal is complete!
GUY: Oh, great. Thanks, Natalia.
LUKE: You sure have learned to cook a lot of food.
NATALIA: Yes, practice does indeed make perfect!
ANISE: Let's eat! I'm starved!
NATALIA: Wait!
ANISE: Huh?
NATALIA: We can't simply devour this fruit of so much effort. It wouldn't be right. I know! Guy, would you draw a picture of this meal? It will make a fine commemoration!
GUY: Come on...
JADE: Hmm, this is indeed a dilemma.
ANISE: I'm so hungry...
TEAR: Natalia, you can always make this again. Let's eat already...
NATALIA: But there's no guarantee I will be able to make it again! I'm no good at cooking!
LUKE: That's hardly something to brag about...
MIEU: Mmm, yummy!
NATALIA: Aaah! Mieu! How could you!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...N-Natalia, you're scaring me!
** MIEU LEAVES **
NATALIA: Wait!
** NATALIA LEAVES **
LUKE: Um...do you think we can eat now?
** NATALIA CHASING MIEU IS SEEN IN THE BACKGROUND **
GUY: Who knows...
Skits taken from here
And, as always, there WILL BE SPOILERS.
Skit 14: Mieu's One of Us!
TEAR: Luke, can't you walk a little slower? Mieu can't keep up.
LUKE: Humph! Why do we have to slow down for that thing?
MIEU: *Huff* *huff* Don't worry, *huff* Tear. *huff* I'm okay. *huff*
LUKE: See? Even he says he's fine!
TEAR: Why do you have to be so mean? Can't you treat Mieu like one of us?
LUKE: One of us?! He's the most annoying thing I've ever seen!
MIEU: Oh, please don't fight!
LUKE: Shut up already! It's your fault in the first place for burning up the ligers' home! If you hadn't done that, the liger queen could've hatched her eggs without bothering anybody, and everything would've been fine! You got that? Huh?!
MIEU: Mieu...
ION: Now, now...I'm sure Mieu understands the gravity of what he's done.
TEAR: You could stand to be a bit more mature, Luke.
LUKE: ...Yeah, yeah.
JADE: Well, now that that's cleared up, shall we be going?
LUKE: Little son of a....
Skit 15: Playing With Fire
LUKE: C'mon, you! Fire! Fire!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...
TEAR: Watch it! You very well could start a forest fire! Then what?
LUKE: Forest fire? Hah hah! Like that'll ever happen. And even if it did, it wouldn't be my fault. It's the one spewing fire all over the place.
MIEU: Mieu?! If that happened, I'd be banished for real this time!
TEAR: I can't believe I'm witnessing this level of idiocy...
Skit 16: The Cheagles' Diet
TEAR: Hey, Mieu... I've heard that cheagles are herbivores, but what exactly is it that you eat?
MIEU: Mieuu... Tataroo Grass, Baticul Grass, Yulia Grass, Fubras Grass, Katz Grass...
TEAR: Huh... You sure like your grass, don't you?
MIEU: Yup! But we eat mushrooms too!
TEAR: Do mushrooms actually grow around here?
MIEU: Yup! There's lots of them up to the north!
TEAR: That sounds interesting. Can you show me around sometime?
MIEU: Of course!
Skit 30: Kill Or...
MIEU: Master, are you okay? Isn't the fighting wearing you down?
LUKE: Shut up! I said I'm fine! If it's kill or be killed, then dammit, I'm killing! End of story! You got that?!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...
Skit 34: The Great Tree of St. Binah
TEAR: That's a really beautiful tree.
GUY: That one? That's the Soil Tree. It's the symbol of St. Binah. They say it's been around for two thousand years.
TEAR, ANISE & LUKE: Two thousand years?!
JADE: Well, that's just a hypothesis. We don't have a way to determine the tree's exact age yet.
MIEU: My home is bigger than that tree![musical note]
TEAR: It certainly was big, wasn't it?
JADE: With no human intrusion, it is an ideal environment for plants to grow in.
MIEU: Yes! My house is bigger, so I win![musical note]
LUKE: Hey, Thing! Nobody said anything about winning or losing!
MIEU: Mieu...
Skit 42: A Lovers' Quarrel?
LUKE: Hey, why can't you get along with Master Van? He's your brother, isn't he?
TEAR: Like I said, I don't trust him. He's hiding something.
LUKE: Well, you're hiding something too, aren't you?
TEAR: ......
LUKE: Say something!
MIEU: P-please, don't argue!
LUKE & TEAR: ...!
MIEU: ...Mieu...
GUY: Mieu, leave them alone. There's no point in getting involved in a lovers' quarrel.
LUKE & TEAR: ...!!
GUY: Uh... Mieu...?
MIEU: Don't be a copycat!
GUY: Heh heh heh.
LUKE: Will you quit it already?
TEAR: *Sigh*
GUY: Let's get going, you two. Save it until after things have settled down, okay?
LUKE: Yeah, yeah.
TEAR: Fair enough.
Skit 44: Luke's Diary
MIEU: Master, are you writing in your diary again?
LUKE: ...Yeah, but not because I want to. It's because Mother and everyone else will get all worried if I don't.
MIEU: I'll help too!
LUKE: Huh? How the hell are you going to help?
MIEU: I know how to write the Fonic alphabet!
LUKE: ...All right, let's see it.
MIEU: Ummm... Today...Master...called...me..."Thing"...38...times.
LUKE: ...Hey, Thing! You're not supposed to keep count!
MIEU: Mieuuu... Make that 39...
Skit 56: Of Mice and Mieu
LUKE: That monster's body was glowing blue.
GUY: Yeah... Maybe it has something to do with that door.
ANISE: But when we go after it, it just disappears...
TEAR: What should we do?
MIEU: Master, Master! Mice! Make them go away! Please!
LUKE: Huh?!
JADE: Mieu is afraid of mice? ...How cliched can you get?
GUY: Cliched...?
LUKE: Quit bothering me, would you? Just go fry them or something.
MIEU: Mieu... All right...
GUY: Oh yeah, fire!
TEAR: Ah! Fire!
ANISE: Fire?
Skit 57: The Oracle Knights Again
LUKE: Finally! Now I can get back home. That was one tough trip.
TEAR: It's too early to start relaxing.
MIEU: How come?
TEAR: The Oracle Knights may attack again.
LUKE: They sure like getting in our way, don't they? Damn, they're a pain.
MIEU: Don't worry, we'll be fine!
TEAR: ...I sure hope so...
Skit 59: Look At All That Water!
LUKE: My first boat trip, and I get those stupid headaches again... *Sigh* But I guess the sea isn't all that bad...
MIEU: Wow, look! There's water all around us!
LUKE: Would you shut up, already! Damn, you're annoying!
MIEU: Mieu... But this is my first trip to sea. I'm just surprised...
LUKE: Tch... What's so great about water anyway? I'm totally bored here. There's nothing to do.
MIEU: But Master, you just said that the sea isn't that bad...
LUKE: Stupid Thing! Are you calling me a liar? Huh?!
MIEU: M-mieu...
Skit 70: Tomorrow
GUY: Well, that takes care of things.
MIEU: I'm tired...
LUKE: Shut up, Thing!
MIEU: Mieu...
GUY: Hah hah. Well, now that you're finally home, why not rest up a bit?
ANISE: Yeah... You'll be busy again soon enough, won't you?
JADE: Indeed. The situation is dire. The war hasn't been averted yet.
TEAR: Luke, what are you going to do tomorrow?
LUKE: Tomorrow... Well, I'll ask Father what's going on with Master Van.
ION: ...It's going to be an eventful day.
Skit 77: What a Wonderful Mansion!
ANISE: Oh, Luke! Your mansion! All the way up here! It's awesome!
LUKE: Yeah? I never knew it was so high up.
ANISE: Not only that, but the manor itself is just great!
LUKE: This? Oh, it's nothing special.
ANISE: Oh, you don't have to be so modest![heart] But I like that, too... I hope I get to live in a place like this someday...
MIEU: I like the Cheagle Woods better. It's much prettier than this place!
LUKE: Nobody asked you, Thing!
MIEU: Mieuuu...
** LUKE & MIEU LEAVE **
ANISE: Stupid little...
Skit 85: Be Careful!
JADE: Luke, please take care when making use of Mieu's fire.
LUKE: Huh? Why?
JADE: It's possible there's still some oil left lingering in these pipes.
LUKE: So?
TEAR: What do you think will happen if the flames spread to those pipes? The whole factory could blow up!
LUKE: What?!
GUY: That's a very definite possibility.
LUKE: ...Humph! Like I'd make a stupid mistake like that! Hey, Thing! Watch where you spew those flames, got it?!
MIEU: Yes, Master... Safety first!
** LUKE, TEAR, GUY & MIEU LEAVE **
JADE: I guess it's a good thing I mentioned it...
Skit 104: Stop Making Fun Of Me!
LUKE: Dammit...
MIEU: Master...
LUKE: Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?! Why did Legretta call me a reject?! And everybody else is keeping all these big secrets from me! Stop making fun of me! I'm the ambassador, dammit!
MIEU: Please don't get angry...
LUKE: Then go away! Just leave me alone already! All of you, I swear!
MIEU: Master...
Skit 114: Where's Master Van?
LUKE: Those headaches again...
MIEU: Master, are you okay?
LUKE: Leave me alone!
MIEU: Mieu...
** MIEU LEAVES **
LUKE: There's still nothing for me to do... Where is Master Van, anyway? If only he were here, I could get rid of the miasma...
Skit 140: The Yulia Road
MIEU: W-wow! That was neat!
LUKE: It sure took me by surprise, getting thrown into a pool like that. You said it uses the Sephiroth, right? How does it work?
TEAR: We don't understand the theory behind it... We just make use of it. There are many more fonic artes and fon machines left from the Dawn Age, but we just don't fully understand them yet.
LUKE: Oh... The Dawn Age must have been a pretty amazing time.
TEAR: It probably was. In fact, Yulia herself is said to have helped invent most of the technology of the time.
LUKE: So that's why it's called the Yulia Road...
TEAR: Yes. Yulia is said to have founded it.
MIEU: I heard that Yulia was a great person too.
LUKE: Yeah, it sounds like it. I was never interested in that stuff, so Inever bothered to learn about it...
TEAR: Well, now's a good time to start. One step at a time.
LUKE: Yeah.
Skit 144: To Daath!
MIEU: Oh no! Is there going to be a war?
LUKE: It hasn't started yet. We can still prevent it!
MIEU: But, but, what about St. Binah?
LUKE: Oh yeah... We've got to do something about St. Binah too!
TEAR: Luke, calm down. First things first... We have to rescue Ion andNatalia from Daath.
LUKE: But Mohs is in charge, right? Won't everyone be trying to stop us? Wedon't have any time to waste dealing with them...
TEAR: Not everyone in the Order listens to Mohs. Some are on Ion's side; some are neutral. Don't worry. We have to move quickly, but calmly.
LUKE: ...Yeah, you're right. I understand. Let's hurry to Daath.
TEAR: Right.
Skit 146: Cheagles Never Forget
MIEU: Mieu, mieu mieu mieu![musical note]
TEAR: You're certainly in a good mood, Mieu.
MIEU: I am! Master got better and I'm happy!
TEAR: ...But Luke is always so mean to you. Don't you get tired of him?
MIEU: No, I know that Master's actually a nice person! That's why he saved me in the Cheagle Woods.
TEAR: ...You know, I think you've helped him quite a bit as well.
MIEU: I did? Really?! Yay! I'm going to keep on helping, breathing fire and breaking rocks! Breathing fire and breaking rocks![musical note] Breathing fire and breaking rocks![musical note]
** MIEU LEAVES **
TEAR: Actually, I meant helping in an emotional sense... But I guess it really is true that cheagles don't forget their debts.
Skit 151: A Perfect Repica
JADE: May I check your pulse for a minute, Luke?
LUKE: Huh? Okay...
JADE: Hmm... Looks all right for now.
TEAR: Colonel, is there something wrong with Luke?
JADE: Well, he's the first isofonic replica I've encountered. He seems to be stable at the moment, but I can't predict what may happen in the future.
LUKE: Huh? Am...am I going to go crazy or something?
JADE: There's no fear of that. You're already crazy.
LUKE: Hey, come on!
JADE: I'll try to check up on you from time to time, but if you feel anything unusual, let me know immediately. Understood?
LUKE: Yeah. Thanks, Jade.
JADE: Luke... Thanking me...?
LUKE: W-would you all stop doing that!
GUY: Well, you know, given your usual attitude...
MIEU: Your usual attitude!
LUKE: ...Shut up, Thing!
MIEU: Mieuuu...
Skit 157: Ring the Gongs!
JADE: These soldiers certainly are proper, coming out at the sound of the gong and everything.
TEAR: Well, of course. That's the assembly call.
JADE: But think of the opportunities for trickery here.
TEAR: The Oracle Knights are peacekeeping soldiers of the Order of Lorelei! Who could do such a childish...
JADE: Who, indeed? Who was it that just rang the gong to lure a soldier out to play with? That seems like the same thing to me.[musical note]
ANISE: Yeah, this is really fun![musical note]
MIEU: Fun! Fun!
TEAR: Th-this isn't a game! It's a strategy to lure the enemy out...
JADE: Ringing the gong to fool the soldiers into following a nonexistent order, throwing them into chaos. Yes, a very enjoyable little game.
TEAR: ...I guess there is no assembly order...but... Are we really just tricking them...?
JADE: Ah, the worries of youth...
GUY: You're the one who made her worry...
Skit 158: Twisted Love?!
ANISE: Ion, can't you be more careful? Getting caught like that... Man... What are you, a princess?!
TEAR: It just shows how important a figure he is.
ANISE: Well, yeah, I know that... But his personality is part of it, too. How can he be so...well, naive?
LUKE: Yeah, he does seem to let other people use him a lot...
TEAR: Oh, come on! The Fon Master is a fine person! Though...I will admit that he can be...at times...a bit too trusting.
GUY: ...He'd make a perfect comedian, though.
JADE: With Anise as his foil, I suppose? Now that would be something to see...
ANISE: Ugh! Stop it, all of you! I don't want to hear another bad word about Ion!
GUY: Hey, you started it.
ANISE: I can complain about him, but nobody else can! You do it again, I'll kill you!
** ANISE LEAVES **
LUKE: Wh-whoa...
TEAR: I wonder why she's so upset?
GUY: It's easy. Right, Colonel?
JADE: Ah, the scent of love is in the air.
LUKE & TEAR: Love?!
MIEU: I don't smell anything. What's it smell like? Apple gels?
JADE: More like a certain young religious leader.
MIEU: Really?! Wow!
** TEAR, JADE, GUY & MIEU LEAVE **
LUKE: ...Would somebody please shut these two up?
Skit 164: Looking for Love
MIEU: It's so cold... The sorcerer's ring is freezing my tummy!
ION: Cheagles don't like the cold, do they? I'm not fond of it myself.
MIEU: I want some nice warm sunlight...
** MIEU LEAVES **
TEAR: It may be a little cold, but the town is so beautiful at night, moonlight on the silver snow...
NATALIA: Wouldn't it be splendid to walk with a gentleman through such beauty?
ANISE: Yeah! That would be so great!
LUKE: *Achoo!* So cold... My belly's going to freeze solid...
** LUKE LEAVES **
GUY: *Sigh* Why do ladies at resorts have to get so close when they come talk to you...? I can't even go outside at this point...
** GUY LEAVES **
NATALIA: ...It looks like we have little hope with that group.
ANISE: Huh? What about the maybe-not-so-bad-after-all Colonel?
ION: I saw him walk off with a pretty woman earlier...
ANISE: But there's already three pretty women right here!
ION: Heh heh. Yes, indeed.
TEAR: Oh, I think it's cute the way he's worried about his tummy freezing.
NATALIA: Oh my...
ANISE: Well...
ION: Heh heh heh...
TEAR: W-what?
NATALIA: Nothing at all.
ANISE: Best wishes!
ION: I think you make a fine pair.
TEAR: ...I was talking about Mieu...
Skit 165: Errors and Excuses
LUKE: Mieu, what do you think about what Nephry said?
MIEU: What do you mean?
LUKE: About how Jade killed Professor Nebilim... And then worked on fomicry to bring her back to life...
MIEU: I don't know... It's too hard to understand.
LUKE: Oh...sorry. I just wanted to ask someone...
JADE: Didn't you promise not to tell anyone?
LUKE: Whoa!
JADE: At this rate, it looks like you'll be breaking that promise in short order.
LUKE: No, I won't! Really!
MIEU: Me too! Really!
JADE: Well, I still have my doubts, but I believe you yourself can understand why there is no point in discussing it with anyone.
LUKE: Yeah. Nobody's going to make excuses for what you've done wrong, and you're not supposed to really be looking for them anyway...
JADE: Indeed. If you put too much effort into making excuses, you end up running from your mistakes. Accepting the truth is a difficult thing to do. But it is also necessary.
LUKE: Yeah.
MIEU: Yes!
JADE: Excellent. And you are, of course, aware that SHOULD you tell this to anyone, you will be...punished.
LUKE: Y-yeah...
MIEU: Yes...
Skit 166: Cruising in Style
LUKE: Wow. Looks like the Tartarus has no problem on the sea, either.
GUY: Yeah, it was built for both land and sea, but it's really just a landship that happens to float. Real warships will have no problem outrunning it.
JADE: Indeed.
ION: Nonetheless, I've grown used to the Tartarus. I find it more comfortable than some ferries.
LUKE: Yeah, me too.
NATALIA: Luke! The Tartarus is a Malkuth craft, you know. Kimlasca-Lanvaldear's cruise ship, the Princess Natalia, is much more enjoyable.
ANISE: Yeah, that sounds a lot better.
GUY: Really? I think men would take the Tartarus any day.
MIEU: The Tartarus!
ANISE: How about you, Tear? The Princess Natalia, right?
LUKE: The Tartarus, of course!
TEAR: I...I kind of like Tokunaga...
ALL: ......
TEAR: ...N-never mind.
Skit 175: In Order to Change
LUKE: For all the threat of war, people seem to be pretty calm here.
TEAR: That's probably because we haven't told anyone where we come from.
NATALIA: It would undoubtedly draw ire if Luke's or my identities became known.
MIEU: Mieuu... Can't everybody just get along?
GUY: Hah hah. Get along, huh? Well, both sides are victims here... If only they could forget the past, they might find a way to forgive each other.
ANISE: Too bad they're still busy blaming each other for the destruction of Hod.
ION: But giving up and just blithely accepting the Score won't change anything either.
JADE: They wish to change, but they can't... A poor excuse. One only used by those who don't really want to change at all.
LUKE: ...You sound like you're talking about me.
JADE: Perhaps because I am. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to rest my aging bones.
** JADE LEAVES **
LUKE: ...Man, he gets on my nerves.
TEAR: So change. And then you can change others.
LUKE: ...Yeah.
Skit 177: Quit Blaming Yourself!
MIEU: Did you see the big hole in the ground?
LUKE: Yeah...more and more is falling into the Qliphoth. All because I destroyed the Akzeriuth Sephiroth...
ANISE: You can stop saying that now, silly.
LUKE: What do you mean, "silly"?! It's my responsibility--
ANISE: Ooh, he's angry. But all this "responsibility" stuff is getting old. Give it a rest.
LUKE: ......
ANISE: We all know you're working hard, but don't go overboard. It's not good for you.[musical note]
LUKE: ...Anise, are you trying to make me feel better?
ANISE: Yeah! Well, maybe not a "Yay! Fun! Whoopie!" kinda thing, but kind of a "Let's do this! Raaargh!" kinda thing. How's that?
MIEU: Very comforting!
ANISE: Well, I see one smart creature here.[musical note]
LUKE: Hah hah hah. Thanks, Anise.
ANISE: Sure thing.[musical note]
** LUKE & MIEU LEAVE **
ANISE: Oh man. He sure can be a pain...
Skit 196: Practice Makes...
TEAR: Can't sleep?
LUKE: ...No. I don't know... It's just that there's so much to think about.
TEAR: True. There has been a lot going on.
MIEU: We haven't had any time to stop and rest.
LUKE: Yeah. And it doesn't look like we're going to, either...
TEAR: Well, we certainly are being pushed from one thing to another. But it's important to rest when you can. Okay?
LUKE: ...Yeah. I'll go write in my diary or something and see if that helps.
TEAR: Practice makes perfect.
LUKE: Hah hah... I remember you saying something like that before, too. Someday, when I'm an adult and I look back on this diary, I want to be able to think that I really did change.
Skit 204: Safe Reunion
LUKE: That was a pretty reckless thing to do.
JADE: The same could be said of you.
GUY: Well, at least we all managed to meet up again.
MIEU: Yeah.
TEAR: I'm glad the people from Engeve made it here safely as well.
NATALIA: But we still have work to do.
ANISE: Yeah! We have to go find that Count Almandine and talk to him.
ION: Yes, let's hurry.
Skit 212: It Worked!
MIEU: It worked!
JADE: The battlefield made it down safely as well.
LUKE: Now that we know we can operate multiple passage rings at the same time, if someplace distant starts to fall, we can just do the same sort of thing remotely.
GUY: Yeah. This way, we won't have to be running all over the place.
LUKE: The battlefield falling into the Qliphoth must have changed the state of war.
GUY: Yeah...so why don't we take a little break now? We haven't had a real chance to rest since St. Binah. Tear looks like she's pretty exhausted.
LUKE: Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
MIEU: Time to rest!
Skit 213: Mommy, Are We There Yet?
ANISE: We're not there yet? We've walked all this way...
GUY: Well, we've gone deeper into the ruins than last time. I imagine that's why it feels longer.
ANISE: But look how far down we've come! And we have to walk back up through all this to get out? No way!
MIEU: No way!
JADE: We don't have time for complaints.
ANISE: I know. I know. Boooooo.
JADE: Besides, Guy says he'll carry you on the way back.
ANISE: Ooh, really? Uh...Guy, can you do that?
GUY: ...Well, as much as I'd like to...
ANISE: Figures... I guess you can't do anything about your special condition.
GUY: Special condition, huh...? Well, maybe I just need a special lady to condition me.
ALL: ......
JADE: Well, THAT certainly perked us all up, didn't it? Let's get moving.
Skit 217: Who's the Bad Guy?
MIEU: I don't know who's the bad guy anymore...
LUKE: Yeah... We can't tell what Asch is up to, or whether the Six God-Generals are really taking orders from Master Van or not.
NATALIA: Or what Dist's true intentions are.
MIEU: I have no idea!
LUKE: About the only thing that IS clear is Mohs' plan... But we can't let them go and start a war just because the Score says so! We'd better do something before Mohs starts feeding lies to Uncle.
NATALIA: I suppose we have no choice but to meet with him...
LUKE: Yeah, that's probably the only way.
NATALIA: I'm afraid...afraid of Father rejecting me... I'm sorry, excuse me.
** NATALIA LEAVES **
LUKE: Natalia...
MIEU: Poor Natalia...
Skit 220: What We Can Do For Natalia
LUKE: It looks like Natalia's getting hold of herself again.
TEAR: Thanks to Guy.
GUY: I just didn't like seeing her all gloomy like that. She's one of us. It's our job to keep her spirits up.
TEAR: You really are nice, aren't you?
LUKE: Yeah. A little ditzy, though.
GUY: I never expected to hear YOU call ME ditzy.
MIEU: Ditzy! Ditzy!
LUKE: Look who's talking!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...
TEAR: Hee hee. But Natalia still has a lot ahead for her to face. I hope we can help her.
LUKE: Yeah.
Skit 226: Friends...?!
LUKE: I can't figure out whether Asch is on our side or not...
MIEU: But he helped you so much!
LUKE: Well, yeah...but he keeps so many secrets.
MIEU: He is a mystery...
LUKE: I wonder if he's going to come with us.
MIEU: Do you want him to?
LUKE: No way! ...is what I'd like to say, but... ...Given what we're trying to do, I guess it might be better to have him along.
MIEU: So why don't you just ask him to be friends?
LUKE: No way! And I mean it on that one!
Skit 240: Natalia's Resolve
ANISE: I hope the King will understand.
MIEU: Me too...
TEAR: Luke and Natalia are both taking a significant risk in returning to Baticul. I'm sure he will understand.
LUKE: We'll have to make sure he does.
NATALIA: Yes. The Outer Lands will fall to the Qliphoth very soon. In order to lower them safely, both countries need to cooperate...now, more than ever.
ION: Yes, they do.
LUKE: Natalia, thanks for deciding to go.
NATALIA: I do not have time to be worrying about the circumstances of my birth. I will do what I must.
GUY: Natalia...
MIEU: Natalia, you're great!
JADE: The world will change, one way or another. People must accept that, or they'll have no future.
ANISE: Yeah, this isn't the time for stupid wars!
ION: Both countries need to take a step forward from their history of conflict.
GUY: Absolutely.
LUKE: Okay, let's go!
Skit 244: Natalia, I'm So Happy for You
ANISE: Natalia, I'm so happy for you!
MIEU: Me too!
TEAR: After seventeen years together, petty things like bloodlines shouldn't mean anything.
NATALIA: Thank you. I had never thought I would be so happy to be accepted.
GUY: You'll have plenty of time to talk things over with the King now.
LUKE: Yeah. Now that he's accepted Natalia, he's acting more like he did before the war.
NATALIA: Yes...but I doubt we can think of each other as we had before I learned the truth. As Guy said, the coming months and years will be important for us.
GUY: Yeah, but there's no rush. You'll have plenty of time together.
ANISE: Especially now that Mohs can't get in the way again.
TEAR: Yes, I think Kimlasca is safe in the King's hands now.
GUY: I hope so, anyway...
LUKE: Hmm? Guy, did you say something?
GUY: No, it's nothing. Let's head for Grand Chokmah.
LUKE: Yeah, let's go.
Skit 252: Peace at Last...?
LUKE: Finally, an end to the war...
NATALIA: Yes, finally.
JADE: It's unfortunate that there were casualties, but at least we managed to get this far.
MIEU: Yeah, good job!
ANISE: Now we just have to lower the Outer Lands and take care of the miasma.
TEAR: I'm a bit concerned that Van hasn't shown himself, but so far, so good, I guess.
ION: Yes.
GUY: Now, let's just see how things go...
TEAR: What's wrong, Guy?
LUKE: Is something bothering you?
GUY: Huh? Oh, nothing. Come on, let's go.
LUKE: ...Okay.
Skit 256: Mieu's a Genius?!
MIEU: Master, are you writing in your diary again?
LUKE: Hmm? Yeah... That reminds me--
** LUKE STARTS SQUISHING MIEU **
LUKE: Stupid Thing!
MIEU: Master, that...that hurts...!
** LUKE STOPS SQUISHING MIEU **
TEAR: Luke! Don't do that to Mieu! Stop it!
LUKE: Shut up! He's been scribbling in my diary!
TEAR: Oh...you have?
MIEU: N-no... I was just writing in it for the days Master didn't write.
TEAR: ...Wow, so you did. Your handwriting looks so much like Luke's, I didn't notice.
LUKE: ...Wait a minute, are you saying I have bad handwriting?
TEAR: Mieu, you're a genius!
MIEU: Aww, well...
LUKE: ...Now wait a minute...
Skit 260: Priorities
LUKE: Tear, how are you doing?
TEAR: Fine. The medicine's working well.
MIEU: I'm worried...
GUY: Yeah, don't push yourself.
TEAR: Don't worry. Let's work on lowering the Outer Lands.
ION: Tear...
JADE: So let's go.
ANISE: There you go again, Colonel.
JADE: Not at all. I'm worried too, but we've decided to proceed. There's no point in waiting.
TEAR: Exactly. We have to finish up before Van interferes again.
NATALIA: Yes, but...
LUKE: If things get tough, let us know.
TEAR: I will.
Skit 264: The Seventh Fonstone Score
LUKE: I wonder what the Seventh Fonstone says about the future. I wonder if it's an unpleasant future, like Master Van says...
ION: No one knows the answer to that question. No one, except the descendants of Yulia...
MIEU: Mieuu... Even cheagles don't know.
NATALIA: Perhaps...perhaps Van chose to destroy the original world and create a new one all because he knew that Score?
JADE: It is true that, aside from Luke's appearance, Yulia's Score has been an almost perfect predictor of history. If Luke himself is foretold in the Score of the Seventh Fonstone, then perhaps...
GUY: Hey! We're here to lower the Outer Lands and protect our world, right?
JADE: I was speaking hypothetically. I think that if Luke WERE mentioned in the Score of the Seventh Fonstone, Van would never have created him in the first place.
ANISE: So you mean Luke's existence wasn't foretold by Yulia?
JADE: ...No, probably not. Hypothetically, of course.
NATALIA: In any case, the Seventh Score... No, the whole of Yulia's Score plainly holds significant power over this world.
TEAR: ...Huh? ...Yes...I suppose.
LUKE: ...Tear?
TEAR: I'm sorry. Don't worry, it's nothing...
Skit 276: Worried About Tear's Health
LUKE: Well, it looks like everything's taken care of, but I'm still worried about Tear...
GUY: Yeah. Knowing her, she's probably still pushing herself.
MIEU: I'm worried too...
LUKE: I wish I could tell her to stop wearing herself out...
GUY: But if you did...
LUKE: Yeah, she wouldn't like it at all.
MIEU: Mieu...
LUKE: As soon as we're done with the passage rings, let's find a way to cure her once and for all.
GUY: Yeah, let's do that.
Skit 281: The Coming Confrontation
ANISE: I wonder if Arietta will show up on Mt. Roneal, too...
JADE: Given their concern with our attempt to lower the Outer Lands, it wouldn't surprise me to see them throw all of their strength at us.
TEAR: ...Including Largo?
JADE: The possibility does exist.
MIEU: Mieuuu... I'm scared of that big man.
TEAR: Don't worry, Mieu. We'll protect you.
JADE: Besides, Mieu has a very important role to fill...
MIEU: Mieu?
JADE: ...Emergency rations, you know?
MIEU: M-m-mieu?!
** MIEU LEAVES **
TEAR: D-don't worry, Mieu!
ANISE: Colonel, that's not funny.
JADE: Hah hah, I was serious.
TEAR: ......
ANISE: ...You're the worst.
Skit 282: When the World Changes
LUKE: Soon the entire world will change.
JADE: The question is, will people be able to accept the change...?
MIEU: I'm a little scared, too.
NATALIA: Even if we lower the Outer Lands and eliminate the miasma, we may not be able to live like we did before.
LUKE: I guess some disorder can't be helped...
MIEU: Everybody in the forest will probably be surprised, too...
NATALIA: It is the responsibility of the rulers of Kimlasca and Malkuth to look after their people. That is the purpose of royalty, of government. As for the cheagles...we'll have to leave that to Mieu. Mieu, you can handle that, can't you?
MIEU: I'll try!
JADE: For now, let's worry about our own goals.
LUKE: Yeah.
Skit 288: The Decisive Battle
LUKE: So this is it... Everything gets settled today.
TEAR: The Outer Lands, the miasma, Van's ambitions...
MIEU: I'm excited!
GUY: It sure has been an eventful journey, though...
ANISE: Reminiscing like that is a sure sign of old-fogeyness, you know.
GUY: Hey, I'm not that old!
NATALIA: Hee hee. It certainly forced us to confront what our duties truly are.
JADE: And we still have one duty left.
LUKE: Yeah. Let's head for the Absorption Gate and stop Master Van!
ALL: Yeah!
Skit 292: Our Final Duty
TEAR: If we lower the Outer Lands, the miasma will disappear as well...right?
JADE: Yes. In theory.
LUKE: Tear...let's do it. Let's put the Outer Lands and the Qliphoth back the way they should be. Then I can finally make up for all this.
TEAR: Yes...yes, let's do that, Luke. This is our final mission.
GUY: Hah hah hah. Serious to the end, huh, Tear?
TEAR: Of course. I'm a soldier.
ANISE: Ow! That makes it sound like me and the Colonel are poor soldiers.
JADE: Well, let's leave the serious matters to Tear and continue in our lighthearted ways.
NATALIA: You never cease to amaze me...though I suppose I've become rather used to it by now.
LUKE: Heh heh...we certainly make a strange group, don't we?
GUY: I think it's just fine.
MIEU: Me too!
JADE: Well then, shall we proceed on our merry way?
ANISE: Sure thing, Colonel!
Skit 299: One Month Later
LUKE: *Sigh*
MIEU: Master, ever since we came back, you've been sighing all the time...
LUKE: Yeah... I guess there's just a lot on my mind.
MIEU: Like what?
LUKE: Stuff... How everybody's doing, what's going to happen next... What Asch is up to, I guess...
MIEU: Hmm...
LUKE: And now I've managed to blow a whole month thinking about them...
MIEU: Master...
Skit 300: What is Everyone Up To?
MIEU: It's been so long since we've seen everybody! I'm so excited!
LUKE: Yeah...it sure has been a while.
MIEU: What's everybody been up to?
LUKE: Tear's probably in Yulia City helping out Teodoro. I think Guy is with Jade in Grand Chokmah. Ion's the Fon Master, so he's in Daath, and Anise apparently got her job back as Fon Master Guardian. And Natalia's been all over the place as an emissary of Kimlasca.
MIEU: They sound busy.
LUKE: Yeah...I'm the only one who's been sitting around, really.
MIEU: Oh, it's all right! You've been eating all your meals properly!
LUKE: That doesn't really make me feel any better, Mieu.
MIEU: Mieu...
Skit 301: Mieu's Name
LUKE: Wait... If I'm going to borrow the Albiore, I'll need Noelle's help too.
MIEU: Can't you fly it yourself?
LUKE: Guy might've been able to. Me...well, I'm not much good for anything.
MIEU: That's not true! You gave me the name "Thing"!
LUKE: ...*Sigh* I'm sorry I called you that...
MIEU: Mieu? Are you taking it back?
LUKE: (...Well, he really is, like, a "thing," but...)
Skit 302: Let's Go to Yulia City
LUKE: I wonder what kind of business Asch might have in Yulia City...
MIEU: At least we know where he went now.
LUKE: Yeah.
MIEU: And Tear's in Yulia City, too!
LUKE: Who said anything about Tear?
MIEU: Mieu? Don't you want to see her?
LUKE: Well...yeah, I want to...I mean, I want to see everybody.
MIEU: Do you want to see Tear or not?
LUKE: I said everybody, not just Tear! Come on, we're going! B-besides, if we miss Asch, we'll have to go find him again!
MIEU: Mieu? What are you angry about?
LUKE: Look, you're getting on my nerves today!
MIEU: What did I do...?
Skit 303: Let's See Tear
LUKE: What's Asch up to, anyway? Is he just going to skip out on Baticul entirely...?
MIEU: I don't know...
LUKE: The core, Lorelei, the Planet Storm... I don't have a clue what's going on.
MIEU: Would Tear know?
LUKE: She's writing up a report, so she probably knows something. Let's go see her.
MIEU: Okay.
Skit 304: Tear Hasn't Changed at All
TEAR: Hee hee... Luke, Mieu, it's nice to see you again.
MIEU: You too!
LUKE: Yeah, it feels like it's been a long time.
TEAR: Yes, it does.
LUKE: Though it looks like you haven't changed at all.
TEAR: I kept myself prepared so I could leave at any time.
MIEU: Mieu mieu?
TEAR: Even with the crust lowered, there's no telling what could happen... These Order of Lorelei clothes may still prove useful.
LUKE: What are you talking about?
TEAR: Um, my clothes?
LUKE: Hah hah hah... You really haven't changed, have you? That's a relief.
MIEU: Heh heh heh. Master, you look a little more cheerful now.
LUKE: Yeah, I guess.
TEAR: ...?
Skit 305: How Has Anise Been?
LUKE: I wonder if Anise is the same as always.
TEAR: The same as always?
LUKE: Wanting a rich husband and all that.
TEAR: Oh... Well, there are lots of problems going on in Daath, and Fon Master Ion is undoubtedly busy, so she probably doesn't have much time to worry about that.
LUKE: From reading her letter, it doesn't sound like she's changed at all...
TEAR: I'm sure she has. She's even been restored to her post as Fon Master Guardian.
LUKE: Want to bet on it?
TEAR: Bet? Bet what?
LUKE: The right to be called "master" by Mieu.
TEAR: ...! You're on!
MIEU: Mieuuu... Don't I get a say...?
Skit 306: Cheerful Anise
LUKE: Anise certainly hasn't changed.
MIEU: Yeah, she's so cheerful!
TEAR: Even so, pocketing illicit donations is going too far.
LUKE: Come on. It was just a little. It's not that big a deal. That woman didn't seem to mind.
TEAR: Tricking people out of their money is still wrong.
MIEU: It's wrong!
LUKE: Okay, okay. But debt, huh...? Must be tough on Anise.
TEAR: Yes. She did say her parents had been tricked into it...
LUKE: Maybe we should ask her about it later.
TEAR: I don't know... She may have her own reasons for hiding it.
LUKE: Oh, yeah... I guess we shouldn't pry.
TEAR: Anyway, right now we need to see Ion.
LUKE: Yeah.
MIEU: Let's go!
Skit 321: The Threatening Lava
LUKE: Whoa!
TEAR: Are you okay? If that gets you, it'll leave you with more than just blisters.
LUKE: I-I'm okay, barely... But isn't there anything we can do about the lava bursts?
TEAR: We'll just have to watch its movement and tread carefully.
LUKE: *Sigh* ...It sure would be easier if we could fly...
** LUKE & TEAR LEAVE **
MIEU: Mieu?
Skit 322: Keeping Cool
LUKE: ...Every time we go someplace hot like this, I always wonder if Jade's using some kind of fonic arte to keep himself cool.
NATALIA: Yes, I get the same feeling.
MIEU: That's not fair...
JADE: Oh, please. There's no way I could use fonic artes that precisely.
GUY: No...there has to be some secret to it... Maybe in those clothes...?
NATALIA: Yes, Malkuth could easily have invented air-conditioned uniforms.
LUKE: ...Take it off.
JADE: What?
GUY: Yeah, take it off.
NATALIA: Yes, remove it right now!
MIEU: Take...it...off!
JADE: C-calm down, you... Wh-what are you...?!
TEAR: ...I can't believe you're trying to undress a soldier in his thirties! How could you?!
ALL: Huh?! ......
JADE: *Blush*
Skit 335: Luke Overdoing Things
GUY: Hmm...
TEAR: What's wrong, Guy?
GUY: Oh, I was just thinking about Luke...
MIEU: What about Master?
GUY: He still doesn't realize that he's part of the reason Asch gets so angry.
TEAR: ...Luke overdoes everything, doesn't he? Too arrogant, too excited, too depressed, too repentant...
GUY: Yeah. He treated Mieu pretty horribly, too.
MIEU: No it wasn't! Master was just playing with me! It was fun!
TEAR: That's not playing, Mieu! You can't just--
MIEU: Master even gave me a name! It made me so happy![musical note]
GUY: ...Yeah, I...I guess it's not a bad name, is it? Thing...
MIEU: It's great![musical note]
GUY: Do you suppose Mieu's been infected by Luke? Now he's overdoing it, too...
TEAR: Yes...poor thing, he's so easily fooled.
Skit 336: Revenge for Ion!
LUKE: That bastard Mohs!
ANISE: We're going to get him!
MIEU: Yeah!
JADE: Everyone, if you don't cool down--
NATALIA: That filthy coward doesn't deserve to be called a holy anything!
TEAR: It's time to avenge Ion!
GUY: ...Even Tear's lost her composure.
JADE: Well, I do understand their feelings...
GUY: But we need to remain calm, now more than ever...right?
JADE: Exactly.
Skit 345: The Isle of Feres
LUKE: Could a tidal wave have destroyed the town this completely?
TEAR: The power of water is frightening...
MIEU: I can't swim... I hope a tidal wave doesn't come again.
LUKE: Don't worry; we're safe. We have the Albiore, anyway.
TEAR: ...It doesn't look like much of Feres' population could have survived.
LUKE: The collapse of Hod's affected so many other places... Akzeriuth, too...
MIEU: Mieuuu...
Skit 353: Crossed Wires
MIEU: The woods are so quiet...
LUKE: Maybe because the God-Generals are here.
MIEU: Yeah, probably...
GUY: The creatures of the forest may have realized what's about to happen...
MIEU: I'm Arietta's enemy too... I'm a no-good cheagle...
LUKE: You mean about the ligers...? Oh, that's just because everyone got their wires crossed. You can't really blame anyone for that...
MIEU: ...But I don't have any wires, Master...
LUKE: Uh...don't worry about it, Mieu...
Skit: 355: Let Her Be
ANISE: Okay, onward and upward!
NATALIA: ...She really is pushing herself, isn't she?
TEAR: Yes...
MIEU: Anise?
ANISE: What?
MIEU: There are tears on your face.
ANISE: *Sniff* This is the sweat of youth! No tears, nope! Enough about the past, let's go forward!
** ANISE LEAVES **
LUKE: Maybe we shouldn't try too hard to comfort her.
JADE: I'd say that Anise is less concerned with the pain of killing Arietta, and more concerned about worrying us by showing that pain. We should let her be. It's quite admirable for such a little girl, wouldn't you say?
GUY: Yeah. She fought Arietta. She'll have to cope with that herself. All we can do is watch over her.
LUKE: ...Right.
Skit 363: Unending Troubles
NATALIA: At last. Now we just need to ensure that the international conference proceeds uninterrupted...
LUKE: ...Yeah...
GUY: The heads of the three major powers... Everything's secure. And I can't imagine them making unreasonable demands at this point.
LUKE: ...Yeah...
TEAR: But as long as people are involved, nothing is certain. I think we should assist in keeping the conference secure.
LUKE: ...Yeah...
MIEU: Master, does your stomach hurt or something?
LUKE: ...Yeah...
JADE: Your father will go bald one of these days.
LUKE: ...Yeah...
ANISE: Luke's completely gone, isn't he.
JADE: Well, the lights are on...but sadly, nobody seems to be home.
GUY: Neutralizing the miasma again? ...What an idiot.
TEAR: Luke...
Skit 374: The Cruel Truth
TEAR: Why did things have to end up like this...
MIEU: Tear...you look like you're suffering...
TEAR: No, it's Luke who's suffering...
MIEU: But you were saved before... Can't Master be saved too?
TEAR: ...I don't know. But...if the Colonel isn't saying anything, then...
MIEU: ......
TEAR: Isn't there anything I can do? Can't I help him somehow? I...I...
MIEU: I'm sad too... I love Master... He saved me once. I wish I could disappear instead of him...
TEAR: Mieu...don't say things like that. I want all of us to be together... All of us, as long as possible. I just wish I had the power to make that happen. But I...I can't do anything...
Skit 375: After Natalia
LUKE: I hope Natalia doesn't go and do anything rash...
ANISE: Even if she does, Largo controls himself pretty well, so things should be okay.
GUY: Where would Largo be? The port?
JADE: Yes. I doubt he'd have crossed the desert.
MIEU: To the port! Let's hurry!
TEAR: Yes. Stay calm, Natalia...!
Skit 378: Thinking of Tear
LUKE: Tear's in the same position as Natalia, isn't she...? She never shows it, so I tend to forget.
MIEU: Tear's a nice person, so she doesn't let you see when she's hurt.
LUKE: ...Yeah, I know, but...
MIEU: So just be nice to her.
LUKE: I said I know, Thing! You don't need to tell me!
MIEU: Mieuuuu... Master, can I ask something?
LUKE: ...What?
MIEU: Why do you call me Thing?
LUKE: Oh...well...you know... You're blue, have weird ears, sound like a girl, and breathe fire... You're a thing.
MIEU: Mieuuuu... I don't understand...
LUKE: Don't worry. Anyway I'll...I'll try to keep Tear in mind.
Skit 389: A Great Resolve - All
LUKE: Everybody ready?
ANISE: Who died and made you boss?
LUKE: ...Shut up!
GUY: Hah hah. Don't tease him, Anise.
NATALIA: We're fully prepared, of course.
TEAR: Yes, we can fight any time.
MIEU: Me too!
JADE: Well, let's not get too excited just because it's the final battle. Besides, once we're safely back, I'll finally be free from having to play babysitter.
LUKE: You always have to say things like that, don't you?
JADE: My apologies.
ANISE: Aaaaanyway, this is our final battle.
LUKE: Yeah. Let's go!
Skit 392: Thinking Back
MIEU: Things sure have gotten tough.
LUKE: Yeah. It went from a little trip to a worldwide crisis.
MIEU: I never imagined any of this would happen when I left the woods.
LUKE: Me too. All of a sudden I got blown out of the manor, and before I knew it I was caught up in all this...
MIEU: Master...
LUKE: A lot sure has happened. I found out I wasn't really Luke, I destroyed Akzeriuth, I neutralized the miasma...and now...
MIEU: Master!
LUKE: Hah hah. Don't worry. I've still got things to do. I still have to settle things with Asch...and Master Van!
MIEU: Good luck, Master!
Skit 405: The Final Battle Looms
MIEU: I'm scared... My tail's shaking...
GUY: So we're almost to the end...
JADE: I'm sure you're all aware of this, but our goal is not to battle Van, but to free Lorelei from within Van and shut down the fomicry devices on Eldrant.
LUKE: Yeah. That's why we have the Key of Lorelei and Tear's fonic hymns.
JADE: It will be a fierce battle, so prepare yourselves. Tear, if you have a chance, sing the Grand Fonic Hymn. That should nullify some of Van's power.
TEAR: I'll try.
ANISE: And the rest of us just gang up on him, right?
JADE: No. We need an escape route, so two of us will stay out of the battle.
NATALIA: But we must fight with all our strength!
JADE: Remember, our goal is not defeating Van. In the worst case, we need to be able to at least destroy the fomicry facilities on Eldrant.
LUKE: Yeah...let's follow Jade's plan. Four of us will free Lorelei, and the others will secure our escape route.
MIEU: I'll help too!
GUY: Right.
TEAR: I'm ready.
ANISE: Me too.
NATALIA: I'll do my best.
LUKE: Let's go, everyone!
Skit 408: Yulia's Thoughts and Feelings
GUY: I wonder what Yulia thinks of this situation...
TEAR: She's probably grieving...or rather, I hope she is.
ANISE: I sure don't want to imagine Yulia taking Van's side.
LUKE: Don't worry. Lorelei isn't cooperating with Master Van, and Yulia made a pact with Lorelei. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything to upset Lorelei.
GUY: Yeah. Yulia, please lend us strength...
MIEU: Please...
Skit 417: Mind Over Matter
LUKE: I wonder if mushrooms can really help Mother's condition...
MIEU: Mind over matter! If you think it works, then it'll work!
LUKE: Yeah, right... But I guess if she's been using it up to now, it must have some effect.
MIEU: Yup! Let's go find the Rugnican death cap. You can recognize it by the sweet smell!
LUKE: Sweet smell?
MIEU: Yup. It smells just like the cake I had at your home.
LUKE: Huh? When did you eat cake?
MIEU: Ramdas gave some to me the other day. It was good!
LUKE: But aren't you an herbivore? Wouldn't cake be poisonous to you?
MIEU: P-poison?! Am I going to die?
LUKE: I don't know about dying, but...
MIEU: Mieuuu... I'm going to die...
** MIEU LEAVES **
LUKE: Mind over matter, huh...?
Skit 421: It Looks Good on You
MIEU: Wow, Master! Great job!
LUKE: Heh...it's nothing that great.
ANISE: Oh, I think you're pretty happy about it inside, though. Aren't you?
LUKE: Shut up!
TEAR: I think those clothes look better than what you usually wear.
ANISE: Yeah, me too.
NATALIA: Your ordinary dress is so vulgar.
LUKE: Don't you go complaining about my clothes, Natalia!
NATALIA: Well! Why are you singling me out?
LUKE: Because all your stuff is gaudy, tacky crap!
NATALIA: How can you say that, when you dress no better than a delinquent?!
MIEU: Both of you, please stop arguing! Natalia's tacky clothes, and Master's delinquent look... They both suit you really well...
LUKE: ......
NATALIA: ......
Skit 440: The Pastime of Nobility?
MIEU: Master, I'm so dizzy...
ANISE: What's so fun about these huge mazes, anyway?
NATALIA: Why, they're very common in palaces and the like.
GUY: Oh yeah, there used to be a huge garden maze at the palace in Belkend. It's been torn down, though.
LUKE: Huh... Nobles seem to come to the Labyrinth Mansion a lot, too... I wonder if rich people like getting lost.
ANISE: Maybe it's a noble pastime of noble families, but I still don't see what's so fun about getting lost on purpose.
MIEU: Me neither.
LUKE: Heh, I didn't realize both of you were so alike.
ANISE: H-hey! And who was it that was complaining about running around in circles all the time?!
LUKE: L-leave me alone!
Skit 446: Birds of a Feather
ANISE: Ooh, look at that! Neat!
MIEU: Anise, there's neat stuff over there too! Let's go![musical note]
** ANISE & MIEU LEAVE **
TEAR: ...Guy? What are you so restless about?
LUKE: Oh, he probably just wants to see all the machines.
NATALIA: Oh? In that case, why don't you go and look?
GUY: ...Really? Well, if you don't mind... Woo-hoo!
** GUY LEAVES **
LUKE: When he gets like that, he's just like Anise and Mieu...
Skit 449: Working Together
MIEU: Master, that was great![musical note]
LUKE: ...Huh? What was?
MIEU: In the battle! You kept on hitting and hitting. I counted... You got at least 30 in a row!
LUKE: ...Humph, that's nothing. Though it is kind of tough to get all the artes and combinations together...
MIEU: With Tear and everybody attacking, and Jade's magic, we can get rid of any monster![musical note]
LUKE: ...Why you...!
MIEU: Ow! Master, why did you kick me?
LUKE: ...Humph!
Skit 467: Dr. Jade
ANISE: So, Colonel, why don't you go dissect some of these monsters?
JADE: Hmm... I'm not a biologist, but in these clothes, I do feel like I could manage it.
ANISE: Shining scalpel in hand, the genius surgeon Jade Curtiss dissects the monsters of the world!
JADE: We'll start with Mieu...
MIEU: M-m-m-m-m-me?! No! I don't taste any good!
JADE: I never said anything about eating you.
ANISE: ...If I saw that serious look in your eyes, I'd run too.
Skit 474: Cooking Like a Man!
LUKE: It's ready! Come and get it!
GUY: I have to say, I never imagined you'd learn to cook this well.
NATALIA: Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
MIEU: Master, you're great!
LUKE: Heh, you bet I am!
TEAR: And you didn't even know how to buy things... This is quite a surprise.
LUKE: What does that have to do with it?!
JADE: Flavor aside, I'm quite impressed.
ANISE: Yeah, it's actually edible.
LUKE: Hey, I made that all right? You can be a little nicer!
GUY: Well, it's not that bad.
TEAR: No, it isn't.
NATALIA: It will fill our stomachs, at least.
LUKE: Arrgh! If you're going to complain, I'll just eat it all myself!
ANISE: Yeah, right.
JADE: You'll get fat.
LUKE: Arrrrgh!
Skit 478: A Princess' Meal To Remember
NATALIA: I've done it! Yes, it's done!
LUKE: What is?
TEAR: What is it, Natalia?
NATALIA: The meal is complete!
GUY: Oh, great. Thanks, Natalia.
LUKE: You sure have learned to cook a lot of food.
NATALIA: Yes, practice does indeed make perfect!
ANISE: Let's eat! I'm starved!
NATALIA: Wait!
ANISE: Huh?
NATALIA: We can't simply devour this fruit of so much effort. It wouldn't be right. I know! Guy, would you draw a picture of this meal? It will make a fine commemoration!
GUY: Come on...
JADE: Hmm, this is indeed a dilemma.
ANISE: I'm so hungry...
TEAR: Natalia, you can always make this again. Let's eat already...
NATALIA: But there's no guarantee I will be able to make it again! I'm no good at cooking!
LUKE: That's hardly something to brag about...
MIEU: Mmm, yummy!
NATALIA: Aaah! Mieu! How could you!
MIEU: Mieuuuu...N-Natalia, you're scaring me!
** MIEU LEAVES **
NATALIA: Wait!
** NATALIA LEAVES **
LUKE: Um...do you think we can eat now?
** NATALIA CHASING MIEU IS SEEN IN THE BACKGROUND **
GUY: Who knows...
