Life Imitates Art Imitates Life script Nashu Mhakaracca Well, well, well! If information technology isn't [Player Name], looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! Accept I got news for you! Nashu Mhakaracca And then I've been request later that Wolf Burglar beau─the ane that left that cheeky annotation challenge credit, you remember? And it seems he's not quite equally sneaky as he thinks he is! Nashu Mhakaracca Oh, he'southward robbed plenty of rich merchants blind, I'll grant you that. No doubting it was him either─never fails to get out a calling card, this ane. Too proud to go out people wondering for fifty-fifty a moment. Nashu Mhakaracca Simply folks've laid eyes on him more than a few times! In fact, subsequently talking to all the eyewitnesses, I had enough data to attempt and sketch a picture of the devil himself! Nashu Mhakaracca Not bad for a self-trained artiste, wouldn't you say? Nashu Mhakaracca Hmm... Non hearing a lot of support for the sketch. Right, then. Back to the drawing lath─the metaphorical one, that is. Nashu Mhakaracca Let's you and me seek out and question the rich and famous─the sort of folks the infiltrator'south been targeting─and run into if we can't learn something new. Nashu Mhakaracca I'll head to Kogane Dori, and you tin can check out the teahouse and the hostelry. Nashu Mhakaracca What's a wealthy merchant in the Far Due east look like anyway? Hmm...something like Lord Godbert, just more...Hingan, possibly? Citizen03020 I say! The Kugane Wolf Burglar? Must you sully my ears with that rapscallion's name as I attempt to have a moment to relax and have in the fresh air? Bah, it'south no apply─the moment is ruined! Citizen03020 I too barbarous victim to the wolf's villainy, like and then many others. Oh, if you had seen the vase before he took it... Gah! If in that location was any justice in this world, he would be paraded through the streets and boiled alive in Tenkonto! Byakudan Ah, that infamous thief? I know of him. For a mercy, he has non seen fit to trouble those of bottom ways like me and my associates. Byakudan Perhaps you thought me wealthy because I patronize the teahouse? On the contrary, this is my sole indulgence. Were I a stronger human being, I would forgo it, just alas...the heart will not be denied. Uraki Too long it has been since I shared a pipe with an ijin! How fortunate I─ Hm? You've no desire for a smoke, only talk of the Wolf Infiltrator? I see... Uraki I take no personal experience on which to describe, and then I doubt I can be of much aid. What I know is known to all. Merely if y'all insist... He is a "lonely wolf" without comrades, and despite their best efforts, the Sekiseigumi has no leads. Uraki Some say this has emboldened the man. Each theft is more brazen than the terminal. He has even been witnessed practicing his trade in broad daylight, if y'all tin can believe it... Uraki That is the extent of my knowledge. At present, if you will not favor me with tales of your own, I ask that yous exit me to my pipe. It is far less demanding visitor. Citizen03020 Some people say that cruel and unusual punishments don't deter the criminal chemical element in the slightest. If you enquire me, some have no appreciation for a public boiling. Byakudan As I told you lot before, I doubt I need fearfulness a visit from the Wolf Burglar. Despite appearances, my fortune is quite modest. Uraki He is a "lone wolf," this burglar, and quite brazen in his contempo thefts. I tin tell you no more than of value, even if you were to have my invitation to share a piping. Nashu Mhakaracca Ah, here you are! Dig up any interesting tidbits? Nashu Mhakaracca So he's getting bolder by the twenty-four hour period, is he? Well! If at that place'southward anything I've learned from following the inspector effectually, information technology'south that overconfidence is liable to go you smacked upside the head past your mum and her magic frying pan! Nashu Mhakaracca That said, we'd have a better chance of catching this wolf if nosotros knew who he was eyeing next... Okkake Gah! Shigure A thousand pardons, young sir! I did not hateful to trample you underfoot. Are yous all right? Nashu Mhakaracca Hey, aren't you the samurai I bumped into the other day? Shiggy-something, was it? Shigure Oh! We meet again, my lady! I say, you must think me in the addiction of trampling my fellow pedestrians. Let me assure you naught could be further from the truth. I was simply preoccupied with thoughts of my investigation... Nashu Mhakaracca That'south right─y'all were subsequently the Wolf Burglar too! Got any leads? Shigure As a affair of fact, I practise! I but recently learned of a private auction in which many foreign wares are to be featured. Shigure While such auctions are not uncommon in Kugane, information technology has been some time since the wolf last struck, and there are rumors that this sale may include "particularly extraordinary" items... Shigure Much equally I would dear to antipodal with you at slap-up length, I really must be going. Until nosotros see again! Nashu Mhakaracca Wait, Mister Shiggy, sir! Can we come also? Shigure To the auction? If y'all like, but I very much doubt you will be able to afford any of the items to be sold... Nashu Mhakaracca Oh, don't y'all worry about that! [Player Name] hither's got enough coin to buy and sell you a thousand times over! Shigure Er... Yes, very practiced! Then by all means, come with me!

Akebono I presume you are come to keep watch for the wolf, simply should you come across anything you like, know that we have money changers on mitt to assist those who wish to spend foreign currency.

This evening/twenty-four hours/day/evening you will be given a rare opportunity to view─and purchase, if so inclined─a pick of foreign and wondrous items from all across the globe! Trader03020 Without further ado, I give you our kickoff─a queer, misshapen fiend captured in the mountainous wilds of Yanxia!

Nashu Mhakaracca He'south non really gonna eat him, is he...? Trader03020 The statue y'all are about to see was brought to Kugane from the West─the land of "Eoruzea," to be precise. Just let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen: "statue" does not even begin to describe this extraordinary work of art... Trader03020 I give you The Eoruzean Gentleman! A masterpiece─nay, a triumph of Western sculpture! Curiosity at the intricate details, the features then expertly realized that some have likened it to a living, breathing man, frozen in time... Nashu Mhakaracca Well, would you look at that! That statue's the spitting image of Inspector Hildibrand. Could it accept been sculpted by...a fan? Shigure Hm? Was it a trick of the light, or did that statue just twitch... Nashu Mhakaracca You lot mean to say...you lot think it might really be the inspector, somehow frozen past temporal magicks!? In that case, I've got just the thing to bring him back to the state of the moving! Shigure Stay your bomb-filled hand, my lady, I beg of yous, lest you slaughter these poor people and bring this marketplace to ruin! Nashu Mhakaracca ...I suppose you lot have a point. And information technology wouldn't be very inspector-like to blow innocents to kingdom come. Shigure How readily she resorts to violence, this woman... I shudder to think what carnage she has left in her wake... Nashu Mhakaracca Oho, I knew it! That'southward no statue─it's the genuine article, in the flesh! Probably hit his head when he fell from the sky again. Or perchance he'southward gone into hibernation once more or something? Trader03020 This bizarre sculpture is in truth a man? Is such a thing even possible? Akebono Strange...I do not recollect it wearing an expression of sheer terror before... Richa03020 Information technology was rather more serene, was it not...? Trader03020 H-How very perceptive of you lot! Verily, this is no ordinary statue─it is a...a heretofore unseen hybrid of sculpture and automaton! Marvel at the manner its features change, fluidly and effortlessly! Trader03020 ...Yeees, indeed! So─shall we start the bidding for this 1-of-a-kind statue at five hundred k koban!?

Shigure Oh─you lot followed me, I presume? Of a mind to pursue the Wolf Burglar every bit well? Nashu Mhakaracca Of course we are! He'southward got Inspector Hildibrand, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some two-gil thief eat him! Shigure Er...are yous perchance referring to The Eoruzean Gentleman, that hideous statue? I daresay no ane in their right mind would try to consume it...but nonsensical fears however, I should be honored to work with you lot to catch the Wolf Burglar. Shigure This human here claims he saw him lath a boat with the statue and caput towards the Ruby Price. Kuganeferryman 'Twas a sight I will not before long forget. Never before have I seen a Lupin carrying a twisted mockery of a man on his back. Never again volition I, I expect. Shigure Likewise assuming was the fiend this solar day! In seeking to claim such a conspicuous prize in broad daylight, he has left a trail we can follow! Shigure Come─let the states make haste to the Ruby Price! Nashu Mhakaracca That at that place belfry merely keeps on going and going and going... Kuganeferryman So that affair the Lupin stole was a statue?

Shigure Surely 1 of the watchmen hither will accept seen the wolfman and his stolen statue... Hayama ...Alas, I cannot say I take seen such a affair.

Appropriately, we accept been instructed to waive through smaller vessels leaving our waters, absent cause. Hayama This Lupin you seek probably received no more than a cursory glance... Shigure I run into. Thank you for taking the fourth dimension to explain, and pray forgive me the interruption. We shall continue our search elsewhere.
