1 tq011533_msg0001 em1 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Oi! What's all the fuss?
2 tq011533_msg0002 em1 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Whose funeral is it this time?
3 tq011533_msg0003 G 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Nobody's, I should hope.
We were just wondering if-
4 tq011533_msg0004 em1 0x8159 0x30004081 0x430 126 Hgwah?!!!
Old Melly?!
5 tq011533_msg0005 em1 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh... This...this can't be real...
Somebody pinch me!
6 tq011533_msg0006 em1 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 What if...it's actually my funeral?
Then that would mean...
7 tq011533_msg0007 em1 0x8179 0x30004081 0x430 126 Wh-where the blazes have I ended up?!
8 tq011533_msg0008 3 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, uh, this is Mitia Lookout?
In the City?
9 tq011533_msg0009 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
10 tq011533_msg0010 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm told you have quite the wisdom.
I was hoping to ask you a few things,
if it doesn't bother you.
11 tq011533_msg0011 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ahh, I get ya.
12 tq011533_msg0012 em1 0x8131 0x30004081 0x430 126 The Queen herself is asking me
personally to tell her a story!
Huh, now I know I'm dreaming...
13 tq011533_msg0013 em1 0x8131 0x30004081 0x430 126 Hey, Ouroboros kids! Gimme a good
wallop. Here, right on the kisser!
14 tq011533_msg0014 5 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Sure thing.
15 tq011533_msg0015 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Have you gone quite mad?!
16 tq011533_msg0016 4 0x81A0 0x4081 0x430 126 Lanz...
17 tq011533_msg0017 5 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 I-I didn't throw my weight into it!
18 tq011533_msg0018 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Let's all calm down for a second
and just talk sensibly. Please.
19 tq011533_msg0019 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ahh, I see.
A rousing speech for the City, eh?
20 tq011533_msg0020 em1 0x8189 0x30004081 0x430 126 What a stroke of luck!
Even after that battering, I'll know
I'll be content in the afterlife!
21 tq011533_msg0021 5 0x8179 0x30004081 0x430 126 Oh, don't start!
You were the one who asked us to!
22 tq011533_msg0022 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Well, it seems life's worth living a little
while longer. Don't want to disappoint
old Queenie now, do I?
23 tq011533_msg0023 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Go on, then. Ask away.
24 tq011533_msg0101 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Has it been tough fighting on for decades?
25 tq011533_msg0102 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 I hear you have accumulated a wealth
of knowledge over the years. If you don't
mind my asking...
26 tq011533_msg0103 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Is it not painful to know so much more
than people around you, and be so much
older?
27 tq011533_msg0104 em1 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Why Melly, do you mean to say...
28 tq011533_msg0105 em1 0x8150 0x4081 0x430 126 you're worried about my ailments?!
29 tq011533_msg0106 G 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Pardon?
30 tq011533_msg0107 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I've got arthritis, dermatitis, constipation...
Bones are as brittle as all hell, and I can
never get a wink of sleep!
31 tq011533_msg0108 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 When I do sleep in, the doc's gotta come
and check my breathing... Can't do what I
used to. If it's not one thing, it's another!
32 tq011533_msg0109 3 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, that's not what she was
talking about.
33 tq011533_msg0110 em1 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, aye? What was it, then?
34 tq011533_msg0201 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What do you know of Melia?
35 tq011533_msg0202 6 0x8148 0x4081 0x430 126 I've been wondering...
36 tq011533_msg0203 6 0x8148 0x4081 0x430 126 When you first saw Melia, I kinda got the
impression you knew more about her than
you let on...?
37 tq011533_msg0204 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 'Course I do! Have you seen the stacks
of literature they've got here in the City?
Packed to the rafters!
38 tq011533_msg0205 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 There's passages on the true Queen, too.
And you betcha these eyes have read 'em
all back to front, twenty times over!
39 tq011533_msg0206 6 0x8148 0x4081 0x430 126 So you know all about her?
40 tq011533_msg0207 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 Naturally, naturally!
Here, I'll give you an example...
41 tq011533_msg0208 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 It is a lesser-known fact that Her Majesty
is squeamish around shiny bugs!
42 tq011533_msg0209 G 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Wha... How can you possibly know that?!
43 tq011533_msg0210 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 There was also a little morsel about
how she found Rainbow Bugs particularly
revolting.
44 tq011533_msg0211 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 They're extinct now, but I reckon they're
beasties about the size of your fist, whose
bodily excretions make 'em glow, and-
45 tq011533_msg0212 G 0x81B0 0x4081 0x430 126 All right, enough! You don't need to go
into such detail! The mere memory gives
me goosebumps...
46 tq011533_msg0213 em1 0x8198 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh don't you worry, I've got plenty more
tidbits like that up my sleeve!
47 tq011533_msg0214 3 0x8130 0x4081 0x430 126 We don't wanna hear it!
Look, I'll tell you what I want to know.
48 tq011533_msg0215 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh yeah? I'm all ears.
49 tq011533_msg0301 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 When you get to the age you are,
after living for so many decades...
50 tq011533_msg0302 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 you must've had to say goodbye to so
many of your friends, and stuff. Must be
a lot of crap to deal with.
51 tq011533_msg0303 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 So uh... How do you cope?
52 tq011533_msg0304 em1 0x8180 0x4081 0x430 126 Ha ha ha, the pits is what it is!
There are times when I wonder
why I don't just curl up and die!
53 tq011533_msg0305 em1 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 But see... Life ain't all sunshine and roses.
I think that's part and parcel of it.
54 tq011533_msg0306 3 0x81B0 0x4081 0x430 126 So what, you just have to go on living
in misery? You've gotta be joking...
55 tq011533_msg0307 4 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Eunie, are you all right?
56 tq011533_msg0308 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 I just wanna know what it's all about.
Growing old.
57 tq011533_msg0309 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 There's folk out there who get to live
so much longer than us. And they still
choose to fight.
58 tq011533_msg0310 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 It just feels like I'm always taking a back
seat. Like I'm getting left behind...
59 tq011533_msg0311 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 But I wanna be there with you guys.
Even if it's just in spirit...
60 tq011533_msg0312 1 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Eunie... I had no idea that was
how you felt.
61 tq011533_msg0313 3 0x81B0 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, sorry...
Hard to put it into words, really.
62 tq011533_msg0314 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Even if those you once loved are
no longer a part of this world...
63 tq011533_msg0315 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Lonely as it is, and painful though the
memories be, it is not wholly a tragic tale.
64 tq011533_msg0316 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 For you can keep close to your heart your
memories of those dear to you.
65 tq011533_msg0317 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 And that is something to take pride in.
That is what will give you strength.
66 tq011533_msg0318 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Admittedly, my life took a very different
path to the likes of my companions here...
67 tq011533_msg0319 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 But such are my thoughts.
68 tq011533_msg0320 em1 0x8170 0x4081 0x430 126 Ahh...!
Never a truer word was spoken...
69 tq011533_msg0321 em1 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 That's one for the ages!
Where's my notepad?
70 tq011533_msg0322 2 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 The fact that you're worrying
about us, here and now, Eunie...
71 tq011533_msg0323 2 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 I don't think we'll ever forget that.
Your feelings will transcend time...
72 tq011533_msg0324 1 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 I'd have to agree.
73 tq011533_msg0325 1 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 So don't feel like you need to be doing
anything special for us, Eunie.
74 tq011533_msg0326 1 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 It's reassuring enough just being
the way you are.
75 tq011533_msg0327 3 0x8190 0x4081 0x430 126 Hah... Don't suppose you've
got any tissues on you?
76 tq011533_msg0328 3 0x8190 0x4081 0x430 126 Spark... Why'd you have to go
and make it all soppy?
77 tq011533_msg0329 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Nobody is leaving you behind, Eunie.
78 tq011533_msg0330 G 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 If you ever feel distance between you,
you need only speak out.
79 tq011533_msg0331 3 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 Wait... Was this all just to tell me that...?
80 tq011533_msg0332 em1 0x8180 0x4081 0x430 126 That's about the size of it.
Good luck out there, young'uns.
81 tq011533_msg0333 5 0x81A0 0x4081 0x430 126 Don't just pass it off as your own speech!
82 tq011533_msg0334 em1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Say, Melly...
Would you mind if we shook hands?
83 tq011533_msg0335 5 0x8130 0x4081 0x430 126 He's straight-up ignoring me!
84 tq011533_msg0336 G 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I don't see why not...?
85 tq011533_msg0337 em1 0x8180 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, you angel! Now I can shuffle off
this mortal coil without regrets!
86 tq011533_msg0338 4 0x8178 0x10004081 0x430 126 ...
87 tq011533_msg0339 3 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Knowledgeable my arse...
88 tq011533_msg0340 em1 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 Life's a cruel journey from one end to the
other. You only get one chance to walk it.
89 tq011533_msg0341 em1 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 But if there's one thing that gives
it all meaning, it's love.
90 tq011533_msg0342 2 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 That's very sweet...
91 tq011533_msg0343 em1 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 That ain't something I have to teach
you young folk, though. Your friends
are lucky fellows.
92 tq011533_msg0344 3 0x8178 0x4081 0x430 126 Monica said something like
that, too. Still doesn't make
much sense to me, though...
93 tq011533_msg0345 em1 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 Ho ho ho... Well, love takes many forms.
There are as many ways to show it as
there are people.
94 tq011533_msg0346 3 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 I'll remember that.
...Thanks.
95 tq011533_msg0347 G 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but we should probably be getting on.
96 tq011533_msg0348 G 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 Till we meet again, Storyspinner.
97 tq011533_msg0349 em1 0x8120 0x4081 0x430 126 Indeed, indeed.
Safe travels to you, Your Majesty.
98 tq011533_msg0350 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What will you ask?
