Identity Acquisition

... But she took me in and put a roof over my head. Fed me. Taught me this... bloody incredible swordfighting style - the sort a lowly vagrant like me would never have had the chance to learn. I know that. Shite, I know that, but... is this how the rest of my life's gonna go?

Morning Greeting

She's takin' a proper kip in there, ain't she? Well... Don't see her gettin' up for another 4 hours - downin' bottles of firewater'll do that. Got to clean it all up sharpish and I might have some time to whip up a bacon sandwich for her hangover... *sigh* What the hell am I doing? She's already thrashed me for a "bad" sandwich last time... No need to fuck myself over for nothin'.

Afternoon Greeting

Where'd she go? Pretty sure now's about time she said she'd begin my training session... Is she on an assignment from the esteemed central division? ... Nah, I ain't supposed to think. Guess it's standby time 'til she returns, as I'm told...

Evening Greeting

Oh bollocks, the sun's setting already...? I 'spose Master'll beat me like a dog for coming home late... *sigh*

Chatter #1

It don't matter even if I'm just a pale imitation. Gettin' stronger ain't what I'm trainin' my Palermitan Style for, anyway. If Master tells me to bark, I bark. She tells me to bite, I bite and don't let go 'til she says so... That's what I am. A hunting dog's all I need to be.

Chatter #2

Master's always on me about "Ticket," about how she's always been a better student than I am... But the techniques that Ticket lady's teachin' Sinclair - that ain't Master's Palermitan Style at all. What the hell is goin' on? ... Well, not for me to pick it apart, is it? I only need to copy that runaway Yoshihide's style. Right, just do as I'm told... exactly as I'm told.

Chatter #3

I've acquired the name of the company Yoshihide's collaborating with and the list of Fixer Offices on their payroll. But if I may - something's off, Master. The intel's too detailed for the cost I've paid to acquire them. Could it be that they leaked this intel on purpose, intending us to learn of this - <color=#923838>Yeah? So what? They obviously weren't being careful, lucky us! Ya gotta quit whining about that "gut-feeling" and all that crap. Keep your damn head down, keep trainin' like I told ya.</color> Understood, Master.

Post-Uptie Chat 1

Among the apprentices... Ishmael's bit the dust, Sinclair's turned his coat, and only... Miss Don Quixote and Faust remain. If I'm ever gettin' away from here, or killin' her.... now's the best time. No, not yet. Might have a better shot at it after we fight off the assault. Yeah, she'll be proper done in by then. For now, focus on helping Master...

Post-Uptie Chat 2

The thrashings, the humiliation, the scorn... I could endure 'em all. I just had to weather 'em like I always did an' let 'em pass over me. Despite all that, I decided to kill my master because... because I finally realized something. That her abuse was... here to stay.

Idle

Maybe I can kill her now. Maybe this is my chance.

Uptying

In one-on-one duels, my Palermitan Style has the advantage.

Deployment

As the propriety of honorable combat dictates... One daft prick at a time.

Stage Entry

I swear, as soon as this battle's over, I'll...

Viewed in Battle

When faced with a superior opponent, lock and redirect the force of their attack... When outnumbered, lower the stance and...

Commencing Attack

Observe the arcs of my blade and let them jog your memories.

Enemy Stagger

Right, got to stick to my role.

Staggered

*exhale*

Enemy Killed

And recreate what's come before.

Death

All because... I wasn't... completed yet...

Check Passed

It is done, as you have commanded me.

Check Failed

... My sincerest apologies, Master.

Victory Cry

*exhale* What'd I tell you? Other styles ain't keepin' up with how fast the Palermitan style accelerates in a duel. I've repeated each stance a thousand - and if that wasn't enough, ten thousand - times over. I won't lose... not to you.

Extra Conditions Fulfilled

... Traitors like me don't deserve to be called human, do they? No, 'course not. What am I if not a thankless, ungrateful monster who stabbed his savior in the back? But you wouldn't resent me for this, would you, Master? Because you were a horrible person who deserved to die.

Defeat Wail

Should've at least taken a stab at it 'fore I bit the dust like this...
