Scenario - Tales of Vesperia

Rita

It's been another
long day. Let's save the
manhunt for tomorrow.

Raven

I second that. How
long's it been since I've
slept in a proper bed?

Rita

Well, I suppose we can
all stay at my place...

Karol

Wait. There's something I
want to take care of first.

Judith

...You mean me.

Estelle

Karol.

Raven

This is a guild thing. Best
for us not to get involved.

Karol

I've thought about it
a lot. What we should
do, like, as a guild...

Karol

And I realized...

Karol

We have to figure out a
few things if we're going
to keep this guild going,

Yuri

It sounds like you've
decided what we should do.

Karol

Well, we said it before.
The most important thing
is obeying the guild's laws.

Karol

Those who break the laws
suffer strict punishment.
Even if they're friends or family.

Karol

They say that's the source
of a guild's pride.

Judith

Yes...

Karol

So what I'm thinking is...

Karol

We all have to
receive punishment.

Judith

What do you mean?

Karol

I didn't know that Judith
was fighting for our
planet, all on her own.

Karol

But even though I didn't
know, I still failed to help
a fellow guild member.

Karol

So I gotta accept
my punishment.

Karol

Yuri.

Yuri

Me?

Karol

Maybe you were trying to “follow
your own path”, but you still
kept things hidden from us.

Karol

There's no way that can be
for the good of the guild.

Yuri

Well...

Karol

So you gotta be punished, too.

Rita

Now he's stretching it.

Karol

...The laws are important.

Karol

What if someone does the
right thing, but still breaks the
law. Should they be punished?

Karol

To be honest, I just
don't know yet...

Karol

So that's why we should all
just accept our punishment,
and start over from scratch.

Karol

What do you think?

Yuri

I can't promise I won't have
my secrets in the future.

Karol

Well, if that's the way it is --
if you can't trust us -- then
there's nothing you can do.

Karol

That would be my fault.

Judith

And what if I destroy a
blastia that our guild was
planning on using again?

Judith

That would be breaking the
law that says I should act
in the interest of the guild.

Karol

But you'd also be acting for
the sake of the world.

Karol

Guilds aren't there just so
people can obey their laws.
I think we can let that slide.

Rita

Um, doesn't that sort of
make your laws meaningless?

Raven

Hah hah hah. I've never heard
of a guild like this before.

Raven

But you've got me interested,
I'll give ya that much.

Patty

Aye, don't let yourself be held
back by traditions. Be free!

Estelle

Heh heh heh.

Yuri

Karol, you're just full of surprises.

Yuri

I'd thought plenty about myself
and what I should be doing...

Yuri

But I might not have
considered how my actions
would affect you guys.

Yuri

This is a way of settling things
I didn't even realize existed.

Karol

I...I just wanted to keep
traveling with all of you.

Karol

I just wanted each of our
own paths to be the
same as Brave Vesperia's.

Yuri

Heh, sounds all right with me.

Yuri

You heard the man, Judy.
I guess that's where we stand.

Judith

You really are some of
the oddest people I've
ever met... But...

Judith

I suppose I can manage
to put up with you.

Karol

All right then, one more time.
Brave Vesperia, fall out!

Rita

They're just making it up
as they go, aren't they?
Is that all a guild is?

Raven

Heh, the Don ran his guild
just a teensy bit differently.

Estelle

There's something beautiful
about this way, though.

Patty

Brave Vesperia... Sounds nice.

Karol

Do you want to join too?

Patty

I can't yet.

Karol

Oh. I guess you still want to focus
on getting your memories back.

Raven

So, what about
the punishment?

Karol

Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Umm...

Rita

Looks like you guys are on
Krityan researcher detail.
We'll be relaxing at my place.

Karol

Hey! Why do you
get to decide...?

Rita

Excuse me? Did I
hear a complaint?

Yuri

Hah hah.
No ma'am.

Judith

No.

Karol

Uh-uh...
