Fates Supports/Shiro Ophelia

Back

C Support

Ophelia: I look to the stars for our fates! I seek the future in the constellations! DIVULGE YOUR SECRETS!

(Ophelia leaves)

Shiro: Who's that making such a racket this late at night? Oh, it's 'Phelia. Shoulda known. Huh. There's a circle of stuff around her. Sparkly rocks. Weird. Yo! 'Phelia! What you doing?

Ophelia: Who—? N-no, Shiro! Stay back!

Shiro: Oops. Sorry. Kicked that thing.

Ophelia: No! My Jetblood Dracocrystal!

Shiro: You shouldn't put things on the ground if you don't want me to kick them. But I am sorry.

Ophelia: Where'd it go?!

Shiro: I'll find it. What color is it?

Ophelia: Black by day. Bloodred by starlight.

Shiro: I'll look over here. You look over there. We'll find it for sure.

Shiro: Um, I think it's gone.

Ophelia: We have to find it. I need the Jetblood Dracocrystal to read the stars.

Shiro: You've got a whole circle of fancy rocks here, 'Phelia. Aren't they enough?

Ophelia: Rocks?! And stop calling me that. And no! They aren't! The Jetblood Dracocrystal connects me to the spirits of the stars in the heavens. You have to help me find it. I cannot be severed from the constellations!

Shiro: We'll have better luck in the morning. Let's search more then.

Ophelia: But my other gems will soon lose their power without the Jetblood Dracocrystal!

Shiro: Oh, gotcha. Didn't know that. Let's keep searching then, 'Phelia.

B Support

Shiro: How many times do I need to apologize, 'Phelia?

Ophelia: If you call me that one more time...

Shiro: I've searched all over for your Jetblood Dracocrystal—many times! I know it's all my fault, but honestly there's nothing more I can do.

Ophelia: The consequences are far worse than you know, Shiro. Without that gem, I've lost my connection to the flow of fatefulness around us. I cannot watch the flow, interfere with bad fates—evil has the upper hand!

Shiro: It can't be as bad as that. But here. Take this rock.

Ophelia: This is obsidian.

Shiro: Yeah. I found it when I was searching. It looks pure enough. Sorta pretty too.

Ophelia: You think this is a replacement?!

Shiro: Sure. Just stick it in with your other rocks, and do your circle thing.

Ophelia: This is an insult to the Jetblood Dracocrystal itself.

Shiro: I...I don't know what else to do.

Ophelia: Severed from the heavens! Blinded to the constellations! I may as well bury my head in the sand and let evil fates have their way.

Shiro: W-well then, how about this?

Ophelia: Oh, lovely. Rummaging in your pockets? What could you possibly have that—

Shiro: A...a...a jade circle! Look—a swirly design, fairly valuable, I think?

Ophelia: It's a button. And I don't care if it's made of gold. The Jetblood Dracocrystal is beyond priceless. Its power is irreplaceable.

Shiro: I've really screwed up...

Ophelia: We must resume the search! Can't you hear my other gems crying? They're lonely without it.

Shiro: Now you're just messing with me. They're crying?

Ophelia: Yes, at least THEY know how awful this is.

Shiro: Then let's head back to where we lost it. I'll search until my eyes fall out.

A Support

Ophelia: I...I should just give up on my Jetblood Dracocrystal. But I'll take one last look where I did the incantation before Shiro blundered in. It's pointless to look at night. But I can't sleep anyway... What?! Who is that in the shadows?! Some eternal foe of Ophelia Dusk?!

(Ophelia leaves)

Shiro: It's got to be here. It's GOT to be. Maybe if I dig a little deeper.

Ophelia: Shiro?

Shiro: Huh? Hey, 'Phelia.

Ophelia: You're slopped in mud from head to toe!

Shiro: I'm trying to find your whatchamacallit crystal.

Ophelia: But it's so late. And you're standing in a hole. That you dug!

Shiro: I combed through the grass a million times. I thought maybe I stepped on it. So I started digging. And then I thought maybe I stepped on it while digging. So I kept digging. And I have to keep doing this at night because I'm so embarrassed about all this. Come back to search for it too?

Ophelia: Yes. I heard the Jetblood Dracocrystal crying out to me in the midnight hour. It said to come now—or else I'd lose it forever and ever.

Shiro: R-really? Well, I'm just about to give up. It's just not here. It's not.

Ophelia: You've come here every night since it went missing?

Shiro: Since I kicked it like a dummy, you mean. Yeah, I have. Now, short of uprooting those trees there to find it... Oh, what the what?!

Ophelia: In the roots! It's my...my...

Shiro: Your thingamajig crystal!

Ophelia: I can't believe it. I can resume communing with the stars! All my gems too—can you hear them? They're pulsing in joy!

Shiro: Tell them I'm sorry that I made them all so unhappy. This was all my fault.

Ophelia: No need. We all know how hard you searched for it. Thank you, Shiro.

Shiro: No need. All my fault. I'm just glad I could make it right, 'Phelia.

Ophelia: I give you my most sacred vow, Shiro. 'Phelia Dusk will never forget this.

S Support

Shiro: Hey, 'Phelia? Got a second?

Ophelia: For the hero who found my Jetblood Dracocrystal? Always, Shiro. All of my gemstones have regained their power, reunited with that crystal. The whole of cosmic creation sings its praises for what you've done.

Shiro: Uh, don't forget that I was the lunkhead who kicked your crystal.

Ophelia: What can I do for you, Shiro? And are you...blushing?

Shiro: You know that jade button? The one I fished outta my pocket?

Ophelia: Your well-intended replacement for the Dracocrystal—yes, I remember.

Shiro: I still want you to have it.

Ophelia: But why? Doesn't it belong on a princely jacket of yours? Mustn't it be sewn back in place? The other buttons must be missing it!

Shiro: It's actually not a button that popped off anything I wear. It was from something my royal grandfather, Sumeragi, used to wear. My father got the button from him. He thinks I look like my grandfather. So he passed it along to me.

Ophelia: A royal heirloom? Then it should stay in your family, Shiro.

Shiro: Which is...why I want you to have it. I like you a lot, 'Phelia.

Ophelia: What?

Shiro: You know, a LOT a lot. Maybe it's premature, but would you take this button?

Ophelia: Shiro, I'm honored, but...

Shiro: But? Please say you're not going to leave me hanging with a button in my hand!

Ophelia: That button pulses with love. Is that how you truly feel? Because I have to admit, it resonates with the selfsame energy in my heart.

Shiro: Y-you'll take it then?

Ophelia: Perhaps this whole cosmic escapade, losing the Jetblood Dracocrystal...? It was the only way that the cosmos could put us together.

Shiro: Ha! Sure, that sounds about right. What's that you're always saying about a finger?

Ophelia: The fair finger of fate? Oh, yes. That digit of destiny poked us both! The finger always knows, Shiro. Even when we don't.

Shiro: Well, our fates are intertwined now. I couldn't be happier, 'Phelia.
