Hey! I wasn't planning on making this post but I ACCIDENTALLY STARTED THE QUEST SO
oh!?!??! that's a bit
okay
I can't keep this up
I accidentally started this quest earlier
but
I closed the game quickly lol
so it's gotta be a SUPER IMPORTANT case!!!
oh his OWN!?!? without a WORLD CLASS DETECTIVE!?!?!??
yeah. just the fact that there IS a case could spread a rumor, "the chief justice isn't REALLY impartial!!" or something like that he should talk to SHIKANOIN HEIZOU INSTEAD
he... he's also a catalyst guy!!!
first off, OMG I KNOW SOMEONE CALLED KIARA!!!
second, WHO THE HECK IS THREATENING THE MELUSINES
WANNA TASTE OF MY SWORD???
third, I TOTALLY GET WHY HE'S SO DETERMINED TO DO IT HIMSELF
he's like
the father of all melusines
sorta
they're a melusine!!! when has a melusine every done anything wrong!?!?
no OBJECTIONs!!! yay!!
MELUSINE!!!!!!
ooooh?
sigh sigh everything's so convoluted over here...
..and in general.

a month or so

well he has furina here. and he also has the entire melusine race who are super close to him! he's also in the nation with the MOST water! and also the one closest to the primordial sea
I can't think of anywhere else he'd be more at home

I can't say I DON'T support him
oh also we're at the opera epicles now, I was just confusing the earlier fountain for the fountain of lucine
ADIJOIDWJOAIWJDA NOOOO
well, at least it's public knowledge that carole was framed...
huh.. wh... I mean, I respect the idea but he DID kill those people
oooh... so, they wanna help vautrin, but just cuz of the.... okay. sure. whatever.
okay well true I guess
very true
but like--
I feel like most people in the audience would agree
for taking things too far instead of pressing charges? could definitely be a reason? but I get where they're coming from
GASP
OH
WOAIDJOIWJD I FORGOT
the oratrice DOES work like that
sad...
I was gonna say "omg but what if the oratrice contradicts him!?" but then i remembered that the oratrice hasn't ever not sided with monsieur neuvillette... (until the childe case)
...???
the thing we just saw WAS the oratrice, right?
that... is also a very valid point.
w.. woah.
damnit....
well... can't say I didn't see it coming but it's still sad
NO IT DIDN'T??
oh, are we rolling back through their memories or
wait that screenshot is wrong
AGH
NOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN
NOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN
NOOOOOO
WHAT
NO WAY I HAVE TO DO THAT ALL AGAIN
NO WAY I HAVE TO DO THAT ALL AGAIN
sigh
OMG I CAN'T SPRINT
no.. NO!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!!!!
PHEW!!!
THANK GOODNESS WE'RE BACK HERE, now PLEASE don't crash!!
WIAT SO I WAS AT THE END EARLIER??
ehhh....
..whatever......
mhmm!? but is the rain YOUR emotions?
also, the fountain definitely has the highest concentration of emotion
oh..? people hate kiara more then neuvillette. DAMNIT I FORGOT WHAT THE SMUGGLING CASE WAS I LITERALLY READ IT'S FILE TOO
NAVIA!?!?!??
WDAUWHDOIAWJDOAIWJOIJW
OMG HI NAVIA!!!!
WDAUWHDOIAWJDOAIWJOIJW
OMG HI NAVIA!!!!
I haven't seen you for ALL of this update! what a nice surpsise!
I love this whittakers' woman
mhmm! how'd ya know...
ooh, wow!! thanks a BUNCH navia
also I hope we can get more navia and neuvillette interaction because their last one was very sweet
did those eyes.. belong to charlotte, by chance?
oh... wow.
well! charlotte was indeed right lol
yeah! the whole of fontaine looks up to you! I mean, you heard what arlecchino said
buh-bye~!!
true!! thank goodness! I just hope the other melusines are safe tho
well? now's a totally different time! every fontanian alive has lived around melusines their whole life! they're friends to the entire race. I'd bet most fontanians don't even view them too differently from humans! they'd definitely side with the melusines this time. everyone's efforts from 400 years ago have really made an impact...
A GENSHIN IMPACT WWOHOHOOOOo
"why is the chief justice just standing there? and for so long!?!?"
SEE!!! EXACTLY WHAT I JUST SAID!! Remember me earlier in this post? LITERALLY THEM!!!
SEE! SEE SEE!!! AAAA I LOVE FONTAINE.. uh, current fontaine lol
AAA I AM LITERALLY LIKE THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES THIS IS ALL SO HEARTWARMING
I feel rain coming on
YES!! IT IS!! DON'T WORRY YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO STONEFACED
okay! let's give this thing a PROPER read this time!!
mhmmmm..?
good!
sounds EVIL!!! or just a good person in a bad place.... OR AN EVIL MASTERMIND!!!
ASDJAOIWJDOIAWJ SIDJAODIJW WHA
...
a "gentleman from the spina di rosula"
..SILVER!? MELUS!?!?
hmmm.. okay. going through these documents, I can't really find anything of interest... well, of relevant interest
what the...
what's going on over THERE lol
that sure is alo-- wait, PAIMON DON"T ASK THAT SMH
ooh, okay then
I don't know whether he's lying or nervous
oh..?
okay then. well, spill the beans!!
YEAH!! WHO!! I MEAN, WHOM!!! YOU KNOW SOMEONE'S SERIOUS WHEN THEY USE THE WORD "WHOM"
mr. dominos'.... okay, thank you for the information.
I have to go there again? sigh sigh sigh oh well
wait, how the heck are you gonna threaten people from the prison? obviously the letters would be monitored
lol idek that quest but LET'S GOOOOO
hey wriothesly!!!!
oh my god what
he's so weird
uh, and evil
but like
weirdo
weird superiority complex lol
well either he's a successor of the old regime or there's a BIGGER threat behind HIM
SIGEWINNE YOU CREEP ME OUT WHY ARE YOU HERE I DO NOT FELE SAFE
uh, so far, at least.
UH!???? GIMME A MOMENT PLEASE SIGEWINNE I GOTTA MENTALLY PREPARE MYSELF
also I wanna check something while I'm still here...
so it's still open.. but what about the elevator
awwe. sad. I wanted to see if neuvillette's seal was still there
okay well since neuvillette's here I GUESS I can trust you, so, tea it is!! woohoooo
..wait. so the MAN's existed for... mhmMMMM OKAY THEN SURE MHMM
cool badge!
hm..! well, if I was a criminal in fontaine, I'd totally wanna join the MAN!!
okay. so vautrin established the mutual aid network after being sent to the fortress of meropide because he realized what he did wrong, and he based the design on the symbol of peace
oh. DAMN YOU I WAS THEORIZING!!!
da M.A.N!!!!
well yes of course
sooo domenico dominos wants to ""honour"" the legacy of vautrin, but didn't actually understand what vautrin wanted
?
OASDJAWOIDJAWOI THE WAY HE SAID "This... *cough* fine gentleman"
mhmm don't you EVER mess with the melusines
we want answers, and to ensure the melusine's safety
mhmm!!
you're going DOWN
WHY????
LITERALLY ALL OF FONTAINE IS AGAINST YOU, BLOCKHEAD!!
I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT WASN'T JUST HIM ALONE!!!!
what? no that's the LITERALY OPPOSITE--
SOUNDS LIKE
SMUGGLING
Y'KNOW!!!
SMUGGLING
Y'KNOW!!!
and, btw, WHAT exactly were they smuggling??
wait.. THAT'S WHY?????
HE'S SUCH A BABY
HE'S SUCH A BABY
A CHILD
YOU ARE A LITERAL TODDLER MY GUY
YOU ARE A LITERAL TODDLER MY GUY
????? THIS MAN
THISSSS GUY
THISSSS GUY
THE M.A.N TAKE VAUTRIN'S SIDE DUH!!!
oh my god whaaaaaat
YOU'RE SUCH A
YOU'RE
YOU'RE USCH A
y
YOU'RE NOT RACIST YOU'RE JUST DUMB
yeah, I don't fully believe that HOENSTLY DUMB AS REASON
well SOMEBODY's been taking history lessons
this whole thing was neuvillette's ptsd giving him anxiety
but look at that! through his actions, vautrin was able to help neuvillette, even from beyond the grave!!
...
welll...
it's not like the chief justice to LIE right
oh
uh
yeah okay cool
so is it common knowledge that neuvillette isn't human or
mhmm! the fontaine of today wouldn't let ANYTHING happen to melusines. not EVER!!
yeah!!
also I'm dumb. everyone knows melusine's lifespans are super long, and the public assumes neuvillette is "the only male melusine," so obviously they wouldn't question him being hundreds of years old lol, I'M the one overthinking things, now!
