"Happy 100th Anniversary"
[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]
Epel: I'd been hearin' this place was just some fancy museum, 'cept it's way huger 'n I thought.
Epel: We ain't got a museum back home, so… Seein' all these paintin's hangin' 'bout's just crazy!
???: Look at that apple, it's so red and shiny! Totally looks photo-worthy ♪
Epel: Ah, Cater-san! Yeah, it's a really beautiful apple, huh. Although, it's pretty hard to get them this red even with a ton of effort.
Cater: Eh, really? Epel-chan, you sure know your apples ♪
Epel: Ehehe, that's because I'm from a family of apple farmers. I don't think anyone knows more than me when it comes to apples!
Cater: I see~
Cater: Y'know, the queen here looks like she's talking with the crow as she offers it the apple. What do you think she's saying?
Cater: Since even someone well-versed in the world of apples like you thought it's a great looking one, thinking she's saying something like, "Doesn't it look delicious?"
Epel: Nah. I think she's saying, "It's not for you!"
Cater: Eh! So mean!
Epel: Well, yeah!! Like, back home, we'd always have crows trying to nab our apples…
Epel: They'd damage them, poke holes in them, drop them half-eaten on the ground…
Epel: I can't stand them for treating our delicious apples like that!!
Epel: It'd be bad if we couldn't ship out our apples, so the village would band together every year to try to keep them crows out.
Cater: THE WHOLE VILLAGE!? Must be a pretty touch sitch. What kinda stuff do you do to get rid of them?
Epel: We'd put up nets, or make noises that the crows wouldn't like… And a bunch of other stuff.
Epel: But those guys are pretty smart, so we can only get rid of them for a short time… They always come back once they realize they're not in danger.
Epel: That's why whenever them crows came back, I'd jump on my broom and hoot 'n holler while chasing after them!
Cater: You'd hoot and holler while chasing after them!? Based on how petite you look, I couldn't imagine you doing something like that…
Epel: If I don't give them a good scare, they'll just keep coming back.
Epel: A few of the crows were more persistent, so I'd get worried that I'd run out of magic while trying to chase them.
Epel: But, thanks to all that, in the end, whenever I was in the orchard, the crows wouldn't come anywhere near it!
Cater: Pretty amazing of you to scare away all those annoying crows that had the whole village in a bind ♪
Epel: Eheheh, thank you.
Cater: If we're talking about when you were back home, that means this all happened before you came here, right? So basically, would you say you're a pretty good flier, Epel-chan?
Epel: Yep! The guys in the Magical Shift club'll praise me up and down for being able to chase down erratic discs.
Cater: Niiice, all your experiences with those crows are probably coming in handy, then.
Epel: Oh, when you put it that way, I guess so…!
Epel: I thought they were just a pain in my side, but… Those crows were useful in their own way too, I guess?

Cater: This painting… It's a scene from the tales of the kind-hearted princess. Ahh, a nighttime date on a magical flying carpet is so romantic ♪
Epel: Is that what this is? Oh, the magic carpet is holding something. Is this… a flower?
Epel: It's really drawn so lifelike. It looks like it was just freshly picked…
Cater: Ahaha. So I take it you're more interested in fresh flowers than a romantic date, Epel-chan?
Epel: I-I mean, when weeds are pulled out, they shrivel up pretty fast…
Epel: And even cut flowers need to be put into a vase as soon as possible, or it loses its vibrancy.
Cater: Really? Looks like you're just as in the know about plants as you are with apples.
Epel: Ehehe. I'm studying really hard right now so that I can be more useful to my village whenever I head back home.
Epel: I've been working on potions that'll keep plants from withering, or help them grow…
Epel: Recently, I've been growing my own plants so I can test my potions on them.
Epel: I panicked a bit when one of the pots broke when I was in the middle of testing out a new potion…
Cater: Eh!? You saying that it grew crazy fast, or something!?
Epel: Oh, no, no! I can't make potions that great yet, or with any effect, really…
Epel: Basically, it just fell because one of my roommates bumped their hand into it while they were getting ready for class.
Cater: Did you get hurt at all? It'd be bad if our cute little Epel-chan got injured!
Epel: Cute…!? …Urgh, yes, I was fine.
Epel: I had to clean up the broken pot and scattered dirt, so I was more worried about being late to class.
Epel: I planned on hitting up the school store afterwards to get another pot, since I didn't have any spares…
Epel: But Jack-kun, my classmate, shared one of his spare pots! I was able to move my plant into that one right away.
Cater: Hm? Why did Jack-kun…? Oh, right. He raises cacti, right?
Epel: Yeah! How did you know?
Cater: I remembered him posting a picture of a cactus on Magicam once. There wasn't any description, so I didn't really get what the picture was supposed to be of at first…
Epel: That must have been the cactus that Jack-kun's been growing, yeah.
Epel: He really tries to take good care of it, and had spare pots laying around.
Epel: So, when I said I broke my own plant's pot, he gave one to me, saying it was in return for some apples I gave him once.
Epel: Cater-san, are there are plants that you take care of?
Cater: Hmmm, I mean, there's a ton of plants in my dorm. But I don't think I'd ever really get around to raising some myself.
Epel: Yeah, it really takes time and effort to raise plants.
Epel: That's why it feels double awesome whenever the plant's flowers bloom or fruit grow!

Epel: Oh hey, it's a painting of the Queen of Hearts! Both she and the animals on her shoulder look pretty proud of themselves.
Cater: It says that this is a painting depicting the scene where the Queen of Hearts had just secured her victory in a croquet match.
Cater: According to legend, the Queen of Hearts was able to hit shots that just curved right into the hoops.
Epel: Shots that curved right into the hoops!? I can't even do that when I aim for them… She's awesome!
Cater: Oh, so you've played croquet before?
Epel: Yes! Last weekend, Ace and Deuce asked me to help them practice.
Epel: Grim-kun and [Yuu]-san also joined us. It was supposed to just be practice, but we kinda ended up playing an actual match…
Epel: Hehe, we really got into it then.
Epel: By the time we finished the game, we were all so hungry. So we all just went to Foothill Town to eat.
Cater: Niiice~ Ah, so young and carefree. And let me guess, you guys went to a hamburger joint?
Epel: Eh, how did you know!?
Cater: When it comes to a joint in town that's affordable even for students, I can't really think of anything much other than that chain restaurant~
Epel: Oh yeah, Ace-kun said something like that too. But it's not like I knew of the restaurant before I came to Sage's Island.
Cater: Are you more the type to avoid fast food hamburger joints?
Epel: I wouldn't say I avoid them… It's a bit of a car ride to get to their closest chain back home, so I haven't had much opportunity to go, is all.
Cater: Oh wow. I totally thought they had a place set up pretty much everywhere, since it's even on this remote island.
Epel: Yeah… When I told Ace-kun and Deuce-kun, they were pretty surprised as well.
Epel: Until those two told me, I didn't even know that they did free refills at this restaurant...
Cater: Hm? I mean, I don't think it's just that one joint that does that, but the whole chain.
Epel: Eh, you mean that's not something only here at Sage's Island!?
Epel: Then that means I could have had free refills in the restaurant I went to back home… I didn't know at all.
Epel: What a waste, I'd only ever get one drink whenever I'd go. I'll have to let my family know next time I head back home.
Cater: Yeah, yeah. Whenever there's free refills, it's so easy to just lounge there forever, too~
Epel: Yeah! And that day, we got really caught up in conversation that it started to get dark… We had to hurry back to campus.
Cater: Oh, I see, I see. Well, thanks for getting along with my little freshie brethren.
Epel: What, you don't need to thank me! I had a ton of fun hanging with them.
Epel: Ah, wait, I'm sorry, I've kept you here a while now!
Cater: Don't worry about it, I was happy to chat with you ♪ I think I'll head off to the museum's café now.
Cater: I heard their menu is themed after the various exhibits here, so. See ya around, Epel-chan.
Epel: Right, see ya. …Well, Vil-san told me to learn a thing or two about beauty while I'm here, so I guess I'll go check out a painting of the Fairest Queen.
Epel: Ah, there's another painting with an apple on it! This one looks really tasty, too.
Epel: Oh yeah, I remember when I was a kid, I heard the story of how the Fairest Queen cast her magic on apples, and would try to pretend to do the same.
Epel: And I'd chant… "Now, turn red. Tempt anyone and everyone to make them hunger for a bite…"

When Summoned: I'm gonna be a supporter for the museum, huh. I'm a little worried whether I can really do it, but... I'ma do mah best!
Summon Line: Art seems pretty difficult to actually do, but... A museum would kinda be fun to look around, I guess? Hope we can enjoy ourselves here today.
Groooovy!!: Almost anyone would want to take a big bite out of a shiny, red apple if they're given one, don'tcha think?
Home: A 100th anniversary, awesome!
Home Idle 1: Apparently the Thorn Fairy covered a whole castle with briars in an instant. I wonder what kind of magic she used... Something to make them grow faster?
Home Idle 2: People who can draw are amazing. I have trouble trying to picture what I want to draw, let alone actual talent.
Home Idle 3: The way Riddle-san was lecturing on the Queen of Hearts was just like how a professor would. Man... I need to study much harder like him...
Home Idle - Login: I ain't know nothin' 'bout paintin', but they's got some hangin' up I's seen b'fore. Oops, uh... This is such a fun museum, wouldn't you say?
Home Idle - Groovy: There's this cafe that Cater-san recommended to me. But it looks way too flashy... Don't think I can bring myself to go alone...
Home Tap 1: Did you buy any souvenirs? I chose a memo stand that looks like the poison apple the Fairest Queen made.
Home Tap 2: The King of Beasts looks so proud and hella cool in every painting they got of him here. One day, I'll be just someone just as amazing...!
Home Tap 3: Looks like Idia-san's really into the Lord of the Underworld. I saw him taking in a painting all serious-like with his arms folded and everything.
Home Tap 4: Jade-san was super engrossed reading the description of the painting showing the potion that the Fairest Queen concocted. He really looked like he was enjoying himself.
Home Tap 5: Huh, am I wearing this outfit wrong!? Oh, you just came over to tell me it looked good on me... Whew, you scared me. Thanks...
Home Tap - Groovy: Was there any specific painting you liked? That one, huh... If I get the chance, I'll go take a closer look at it!
Duo:
[EPEL]: Time fer us ta git down 'n do it to it, Cater-san!
[CATER]: E-Epel-chan, what did you just say?
Birthday Login Message: Thanks for the birthday present! Oh yeah, let me give you something in return. How about some skin cream? I got some from of my dormmates, but there's no way I can use up all of it... They're all nicely packed in a cardboard box, so I'll swing by Ramshackle later to drop them off. Don't worry about me, just take 'em all!
