Location: The Library - Floor of Language
Servant Roland
Hmhmm. You there, ma’am? I’ve brought you a few books, ma’am.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Leave ‘em there. I’ll take a look in a bit.
Servant Roland
I am very, sincerely sorry for my insolence earlier, Miss Red Mist, ma’am.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Cut the flattery. You and I are pretty much in the same shoes here.
Servant Roland
…Are you actually the Red Mist?
Servant Roland
I heard a lot of stories about her, but I never really got to meet her since we worked in completely different areas of the City.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Believe whatever you want. The whole ‘Red Mist’ buzz is nothing but a hollow shell now.
Servant Roland
I mean, not that I don’t believe you or anything.
Servant Roland
It just feels unreal that a legendary Fixer is standing here with me.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
I died trying to protect my colleagues in my first life.
Servant Roland
In that laboratory in the Outskirts?
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Yep. And as my second life, I was woken up in Lobotomy Corp. with a blurry memory of the past.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Where was your zone of activity, anyway?
Servant Roland
East of the City.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
was on the western side. No wonder we never ran into each other.
Servant Roland
I got a question about one of the legends of The Red Mist. Do you take questions, ma’am?
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
What is it?
Servant Roland
The one about slaughtering five Proxies of the Index alone.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Ah, the Index… Been a while since I heard one of those rancid titles of the Backstreets.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
The vexing memories…
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Yep, I did. I took down five Proxies and three Messengers of the Index, to be precise.
Servant Roland
Damn, you really are awesome, ma’am.
Servant Roland
I didn’t say anything about the Messengers just to make sure, and you got that right too.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Ten years have passed in the outside world since I disappeared, I heard.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
The City and the Backstreets are still the same as before, aren’t they?
Servant Roland
As in dirt-poor people killing and stealing from each other, and living in constant fear that someone might assault them?
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Damn, so it’s no different.
Servant Roland
Pretty much. The tools and methods may have changed from ten years ago, but basically the same sort of things have been going on.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Laughable, isn’t it? I went through all the heavy hassle hoping to change that, and it was to no avail.
Servant Roland
But, there’s a new sandwich franchise called HamHamPangPang that’s been expanding into each district of the Backstreets lately, which has been a huge boost to the quality of life!<
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
The venue you were planning to visit for a special sandwich before you got kidnapped here?
Servant Roland
Ngh, yeah. I’m still salty over it…
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Glad to hear that there’s been some improvement at least.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
…I hate the Backstreets. As someone born in those slums, every single day of surviving through it was living hell.
Servant Roland
What district were you from?
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Twenty-three.
Servant Roland
That’s more than understandable.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Thinking about all these old memories is giving me heartburn. Maybe I should go fetch some liquor from Netzach.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
I’ll sort out the books you brought myself, so you can go now.
Servant Roland
Alright, you don’t seem to be in the mood to talk anymore, anyway.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
Oh, and… thanks for the books.
Servant Roland
I’m just doing my job.
Servant Roland
And one more thing.
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
What now?
Servant Roland
Can I, uh, join you in borrowing some alcohol from Netz?
Patron Librarian - Language Gebura
If you insist.
