Rats

Overview	Reception of Rats

“	Groups of half-assed thugs that barely qualify as a Syndicate. They don’t have money or power. They’re losers who only think about making ends meet day by day.	”
–Roland, Rats Episode I, Pre-Battle

The reception of Rats is the first and only reception of the Rats, the first guest group of the first chapter,  Canard. It is a one-Act fight with one floor of up to three Librarians available, serving as the tutorial battle of Library of Ruina.

Combat Entrance Think I can’t beat a bunch of dweebs? Don’t go easy on us, cause we won’t. We ain’t scared of you wimps. Victory Cry I could aim for Syndicates even bigger than the Stray Dogs if we keep this up! This was pretty much a free win for us! Death …Damn it all. The dream… it’s still so far away… Guess I was just a fool who dreamed too big… On Ally Death You were supposed to fight with me till the end! Why’d you have to be so weak? …Damn you. Dammit… This is too unfair for us! On Kill Just as weak as I thought. Beating you chumps should be a piece of cake for a budding Finger like me. I ain’t just a reckless thug. I got brains too, ya see?

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Sigh… We only got a few hours. Let’s get this over with. Hey, come on and bring it already! Don’t look down on us just ‘cause we’re Rats. Victory Cry How’s it feel to be wrecked by the Rats you look down on? Well… I won’t lie, I was a little scared at first, but they were even weaker than I thought. Death Shit… Knew I shouldn’t have come here… I didn’t scrape at the bottom my whole life just to die like this…! On Ally Death …Psh. Didn’t have much expectation for you anyway. Just don’t be a nuisance. Don’t really care if you die. On Kill You’re way too weak for guardians of supposedly important stuff. That was close… But I won. Hmph, so many weaknesses. You’re a bunch of failures.

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Do I really have to do all this to make his dream come true.. Sigh… We’d be better off harvesting some more guts… I wanna get into an actual Syndicate and get comfy for once. Victory Cry We can make it if we try. Now our lives should straighten up a bit. That actually feels easier compared to a gut-harvest…? It wasn’t too bad at all. Death …Guess this is it for me. I didn’t get to enjoy anything… I really didn’t wanna meet such an awkward end… On Ally Death Hey… What’s wrong…? You aren’t dead for real, are you? I told you it was a bad idea to walk in here… I just think it’d be a lot faster and safer to find a new body… On Kill That was a clean blow! I’ve never seen someone weaker than a Rat in my life. Eek… I-I just killed that one… Right…?
