Rooms Past The Backdoor[]

Speaker Dialogue
Dante Story Icon
Dante
I hereby confirm today's close of the business for the Sinners.
Whether we're riding the bus through a forest or navigating the busboat over a vast lake, our daily routine changes very little.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Thank you kindly. Starting now, you all will be given a maximum of 12 hours to partake in sleep and rest; the duration is subject to change. Have a good night.
The usual hubbub, followed by the usual leisurely idleness.
I guess I'm not the only one starting to enjoy these normal, routine days.
It wasn't by our choice, though. By now, I thought we'd be sailing vigorously across the waters towards the Lobotomy Corp. Branch located somewhere within the U Corp.
But here we are, unable to leave the coastal side of the Great Lake, dawdling and twiddling our thumbs.
Well, its not like there's been an accident. While Faust didn't elaborate, she explained we had to wait for now.
If I were to hazard a guess, we are waiting here to complete some kind of an empty procedure like we did at K Corp. Either that, or we're waiting for someone(probably the Before team) to get in touch with us.
Which brings us here, surrounded by nothing but endless, endless water. The Sinner chattered about inane subjects before complaining about this immense boredom...
But deep down, we were all exhausted from the unending onslaught of physically and emotionally draining happenings. Deep down, we all knew these leisurely days would not last.
So we each elected to enjoy this brief maritime respite in our own ways.
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
Huff, Hurk...
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
If thou needest mine assistance...
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
..As I have repeatedly made myself clear...
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
I am... quite... alright...
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
Thy counteance, returning the contents within thy stomach to the Lake with such vigor... sayeth otherwise...
Except for Yi Sang, who had a surprisingly low tolerance for seasickness...
... This voyage was proving to be rather uneventful.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Yi Sang, the day's over. You can go back to your room now...
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
Oh... Shall I finally be freed from this suffering...?
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Seriously, I told you that you could rest in your room if you wanted.
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
Our fellows must also have their share of suffering... I can not, in good faith, seek comfort only for myself.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
You're the one with the biggest share of suffering right now...
While I wished that he'd be more reasonable with himself, I could see where he was coming from...
I thought better of it than to try to convince him otherwise. I instead choose to help Yi Sang to his room.
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
I thank you, Dante. Then... until later.
I waved at him and watched until he stumbled into his room and closed the door behind him.
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
Then I shall seek myself respite as well, Manager Esquire!
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Yeah, rest well.
Don Quixote walked into the same Door that Yi Sang had walked into. I could get a blurry glimpse into her room over her shoulder.
I couldn't get a good look at it... but it was certainly not the same room Yi Sang has walked into.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
I see these doors every day... but I still don't get it.
I should probably he used to this by now, but it's still pretty fascinating how the rooms changed based on who opened the doors.
I turned, leaving their shut door behind, ready to return to my room.
E041X 1
Dante Story Icon
Dante
......
There's a door immediately to the right side of that demarcation of the corridor we're not allowed to cross.
Within that door is a space somewhat different from the Sinner's rooms.
In there were the wooden doors to my room and the metal door leading into the Mirror Dungeons.
The doors leading to the Luxcavation Dungeons and the recently-opened door to the Refraction Railway also come into view.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
No new doors... yet.
For no reason in particular, I creak those doors open and take a quick peek inside to see if anything changed.
Well... I've never actually managed to catch any changes myself, but... who knows?
Maybe I'll notice something worth keeping to myself...
... Which I should probably report to Faust.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
...!
Something must've caught wind of my rather mischievous thought.
An ear-splitting siren blares all the way here from the other end of the bus.
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
Blimey, what the hell is...
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
Oh boy, this again?
Ryoshu Story Icon
Ryōshū
M.E. Kill the volume...
I spun around to face the other side of the corridor. The Sinners, alarmed by the noise, were one by one peeking out of their rooms.
They were used to this siren by now, but that didn't change the unpleasant fact that their sweet private hours were disturbed.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Well met, Dante. Let us observe this disturbance together.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
O-okay.
I accompanied Faust to the helm.
She fiddled with a few buttons, and shut off the alarm. Incomprehensible, complicated-looking letters began to fill the round screen.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
... Is that a new room?
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Even Faust need a moment to decipher.
Right, right...
The siren always comes without warning.
And with it appeared the Mirror Dungeons, the Luxcavation Dungeons and the Refraction Railways.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
I don't know if it's relevant, but... I didn't see anything that would indicate activity when I checked the Railway door earlier.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
It is unlikely that anything new would appear from that entrance.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
I find it difficult to believe that the next Line would arrive so soon when the glow of the door leading to Line 2 has yet to go out.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
I guess you're right.
The first Railway took me by surprise when it appeared.
A new door had appeared before us, its edges shimmering with a blue glow. And when we entered it...
E041X 2
A mysterious vehicle was just sitting there, waiting for us.
Its appearance somewhat resembled that of Mephistopheles... but it was also patently clear that I'd never seen anything like it before. An odd feeling.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
I see that your first encounter with the train has left a strong impression, Dante.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Well, I recall that you had a rather violent reaction when I entered the train to observe its interiors.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Come on, I wasn't the only one that freaked out. Everyone did...
What if that thing left the Station before the rest of us got on?
...Was what I wanted to say if Faust hadn't already turned around from the screen, to which her eyes had been metaphorically glued for a while, and walked away.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
This wasn't it, then?
Faust Story Icon
Faust
No, This particular volatility is not something we can utilize.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Right... I thought it was an awkward time for a new door to appear. Too soon, too soon.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
The Dungeons and the Railways appeared at 'awkward times' as well, Dante. I recommend that you refrain from settling into a premature condition. A new variable may present itself at any moment.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
... Moreover...
Faust Story Icon
Faust
If this volatility has triggered an alarm in Mephistopheles' engine, then it naturally follows that a new door has appeared somewhere at an indeterminable location down the corridor.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
This may reveal a space from which one could never return. It is best that we keep track of these incidents.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Even Heathcliff won't do anything like that... Probably.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
... As per my last advice to you, a premature conclusion is...
Dante Story Icon
Dante
.......
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Regardless, no serious issue has been detected at this moment. ...It would be most apt that we enjoy our remaining rest period.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Now, if you excuse me. Rest well, Dante.
With those as her parting words, Faust disappeared into her room in her usual manner.
Left alone again, on this bus... boat.
I looked at the numerous letters displayed on the screen.
Numbers. Unintelligible letters. Drawings and symbols depicting something.
I had to shake my clock head after staring at that dizzying sight for a while.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
I wonder if this is how Yi Sang felt earlier... I'm starting to feel nauseous.
I was barely able to hold back the vertigo from settling in. Time to saunter back to my room.
Let's turn in early tonight...

Speaker Dialogue
Another day, another prolonged and dreary period of waiting, waiting and some more waiting for something to happen. Of course, our busboat was still floating on the coastal Great Lake.
Voices of discontent among the Sinners started small, but they have been growing increasingly incessant as of late.
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
GAH! Holy CRAP!
All of sudden, an ear-splitting siren echoes throughout the cabins.
It's that alarm again- Warning us of a volatility in Mephistopheles. But it was much louder, much more painful than the ones we've heard before.
And this time, it wasn't the only thing that assaulted our senses.
Rodion Story Icon
Rodion
Huhh...? We've never had flashing lights like this before, right?
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
What is it this time? The hell did you feed this bloody rickety bus?
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
Ooo!! This must be a signal that the long-awaited adventure is finally nigh!!!
Sinclair Story Icon
Sinclair
I-is this... what we've been waiting for this whole time?
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
...No.
Vergilius frowned as though he sensed that something was off. He turned to Faust.
It was one of those rare occasions when I could sense the slightest hint of confusion from him.
Charon Story Icon
Charon
Weewoo. Weewoo. Mephi's blaring and crying. Mephi sick?
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
What is it, Ms. Faust? I wasn't informed about a siren like this before.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
.....
Faust Story Icon
Faust
First, A correction of falsehood is in order. Mephistopheles is not 'bloody rickety'. And 'eating' is not a part of its behaviors.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
It does make infrequent use of the Enkephalin supply gear installed in the engine for fuel, but that is of no negative consequence. Even if it was, whatever issues that may arise can handily be repaired after a proper total disassembly-
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
That was just a figure of speech! Tsk. So what's this now? Sounds like the bus is about to explode!
Faust Story Icon
Faust
To label Mephistopheles as some 'bloody rickety bus' completely disregards the amount of pain and effort Faust dedicated to designing and-
Sinclair Story Icon
Sinclair
Heathcliff, if you don't take it back... I don't think she's ever going to stop...
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
Haah, seriously...?
Rodion Story Icon
Rodion
Yeah, Heath. Take it back... The bus might actually blow up before she explains anything!
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
Ugh...
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
...I take back what I said earlier.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
I cannot comprehend what you are attempting to take back. You rather abstract reference to this unknown concept that you supposedly mentioned 'earlier' is hardly clarifying. Anyways, allow me to test the specifications of screws used in Mephistopheles' construction that makes this creation so impressive. First-
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
Fine! I take back what I said about the Bus! It's not bloody rickety, and it doesn't eat! I'm sorry, alright?!!!
The cabin briefly echoes with his cries, then... a brief silence.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
.....
I think... I saw Faust flash the briefest grin of satisfaction.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Good.
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
Is the clown show over? This juvenile, tedious exchange is testing my patience.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Yeah, it's a bit different from the usual alarms... Don't think this one's for a new door.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
It is quite simple. The Night is here.
Ryoshu Story Icon
Ryōshū
W.D.Y.M
Ryoshu Story Icon
Ryōshū
T.O.I.S.Y.N.C.
Sinclair Story Icon
Sinclair
Talk, or I Snap Your-
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Walpurgis Night is here, it seems.
Meursault Story Icon
Meursault
The night is not here. That is very apparent, at least in this coastal area.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
The... name does not refer to the time of day in which the sun moves beyond our line of sight.
Meursault Story Icon
Meursault
Hm.
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
Then it appears to me, by that designation, you are referring to a certain phenomenon?
Yi Sang seems to be doing a little better, now that the waves have died down somewhat.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
I am, indeed. I am certain that all of you are most familiar with the fact that extracting identities and E.G.O from mirror worlds is one of the many functions of Mephistophele's Engine.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
But it's reach is rather limited. Even as it has expanded over our journey, we have yet to reach mirror worlds that are too far from our own.
Outis Story Icon
Outis
Is this the Golden Boughs' doing? I noticed that it was fishing up more and more new things the longer our journey went on.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Broadly speaking, yes. You could say that. Dante and our collective experiences gradually expand our range of Extractions.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Normally, Extractions require a certain resource... but there were times when the Identity Cards appeared out of nowhere. Do you recall them, Dante?
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Uh, yeah. Some of them just randomly popped out of the engine.
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
Wait. Wait. Slow down.
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
The hell's an Identity Card?
Hong Lu Story Icon
Hong Lu
Oh, you still didn't know? Hm... I'm jealous of you, Heathcliff. You have a talent for ignoring anything you don't care about~
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
You lookin' to get your head smashed in or what?
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
Right, right. Knock it off, you guys. Guide Bud's giving us the evil eye.
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
They're, you know, the... uh, the things Manager Bud pulls out of the engine from time to time.
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
Those little rectangular objects with our alternative world... Wait, was it mirror worlds? Anyways, it's those things with deceptions of our 'other' selves on them.
Hong Lu Story Icon
Hong Lu
Yes! The things that look like mahjong tiles.
Rodion Story Icon
Rodion
I thought they looked a bit like wafers.
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
I believe their denomination comes from their appearance as cards that contains identities. Thus, it naturally follows that they are named... Identity Cards.
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
So we're using those rectangular toys to transform into our alternative selves?
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
I never used 'em before.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
That's because I'm the one using them.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
On the device issued to Dante are indentations through which Identity Cards and E.G.O can be inserted. They are reflected when we participate in battle.
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
Oh, so that's why they were fidgeting with before every fight...
I could tell from his flabbergasted expression that none of it had ever even occurred to Heathcliff.
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
......
On the other hand, Don Quixote wore... a somewhat forlorn expression.
Dante Story Icon
Dante
What's wrong, Don Quixote?
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
Well, I...
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
Is this not about time when Ishmael would intrude upon this conversation and denounce Heathcliff with biting words such as "You still don't know? That's just like you'? This emptiness weighs heavily upon mine heart...
Rodion Story Icon
Rodion
Ohh~ You're right. Something was missing from this whole convo. I knew it.
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
You right daft bastard...
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
Enough.
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
We're not getting the information we need. Ms. Faust, Please explain the present situation. What are these green lights?
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Understood. If we take into account the case of Identity Cards Dante received without spending any Lunacy, we can draw a conclusion that the Mephistopheles' Extraction has an element of unpredictability tied to its uncertainty.
Heathcliff Story Icon
Heathcliff
The hell is she blathering about now...?
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
Yet this item is of your design. To say that it has an element of unpredictability would indicate that...
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Correct. Enkephalin fuels the Engine, yes. However, Extractions and reconstructions utilize chaos... Well, in easier terms, you could say that it uses the concept of possibilities itself as fuel.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Our Extraction range grows when we were able to clearly observe specific possibilities in the infinitely branching mirror worlds. During this period, however... the borders between the mirror realities are entirely shattered.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Using the present as our anchoring point, it could be said that our current Extraction range is approximately three years to the past or the future. During Walpurgis Night, however, that range grows to about 10 years or even more.
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
I-in that case! Thou meanest to say that Identities of prominent Fixers from times past may grace us with...?!
Faust Story Icon
Faust
Theoretically speaking, yes. But each Walpurgis Night has its own pecularities. It will not let us reach into all potential possibilities.
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
Th-th-th-th-th-then does that mean that we may also be availed our alternative selves as the legendary Fixer, the archmagnificence, the one and only...
Don Story Icon
Don Quixote
R-RED MIST...?!
Faust Story Icon
Faust
... That is extremely unlikely. But I will not completely dismiss the possibility.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
The extended range, I suppose, could be defined by worlds affected by entities that were indispensable to the formation of this current state of the world. An example of that would be the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters prior to 'White Nights and Dark Days' incident.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
In some ways... your words sometimes find a roundabout way to the truth, Don Quixote.
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
......
I didn't know who this Red Mist was, nor did I know what White Nights and Dark Days was...
But I could hazard a guess that they both must've been pretty significant, considering that Vergilius' face grew visibly tense as soon as they were mentioned. The Sinners were unsettled, too.
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
We can conclude that this siren is no cause for any immediate concern, then.
Faust Story Icon
Faust
No, it isn't. Consider it... a festival that arrives once in a while. For now.
Charon Story Icon
Charon
Festival. Festive times. Charon is festive too.
Sinclair Story Icon
Sinclair
I don't know if I got all that, but... this isn't what we've been waiting for, is it?
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
No. We will continue to wait.
Outis Story Icon
Outis
Tsk.
The Sinner sighed and groaned with disappointment as the newfound anticipation fizzed.
Well, something did happen... but it wasn't something that would get us moving. I can see what a disappointment this might be to them.
Gregor Story Icon
Gregor
So... how do we stop that green light from flashing?
Faust Story Icon
Faust
It will turn itself off when Dante extracts something from the engine. Do not worry.
Vergilius Story Icon
Vergilius
Right, back to business, all. Dante, extract something and turn that alarm off.
Ryoshu Story Icon
Ryōshū
W.A.D. We'll just be running more Dungeons through the Backdoor with whatever new thing they pull anyways.
Hong Lu Story Icon
Hong Lu
Still, this leisureliness is a very rare opportunity, isn't it~?
Yi Sang Story Icon
Yi Sang
Blessed be the patient ones, or so it is said.
Every Sinner says their piece before returning to their seats.
Some of them walk out of the cabin to gaze at the Lake. It's something they must be growing a tad tired of doing at this point... Maybe they're just going out for a long sigh.
... And Outis walked up to me.
Outis Story Icon
Outis
Are you not worried, Executive Manager?
Dante Story Icon
Dante
Huh?
Outis Story Icon
Outis
About what that mad scientist said. "For now"... There has to be more to that statement. Should I investigate this matter further?
Outis was right... While Faust did tell us to consider this nothing more than a festival that arrives once in a while... she definitely knew more than what she was letting on.
But if Faust speaks of something in her characteristically cryptic manner... It means she'll never tell us until she wants to.
Outis Story Icon
Outis
Well, it does bother me a little... But right now, we don't have a lot of options. Let's just put a pin on it for now.
Outis nodded affirmatively, bowed and returned to her seat.
Well... let's get extracting like Faust said.
