Dialogue
"Eternal Holy City" Okhema
- (First interaction)
- Karpos: Wait a second! Hey, the master passing by!
- Karpos: I've seen you before! You were the one who made that statue at the entrance!
What statue?- You must have mistaken me for someone else.
- Karpos: I can't be mistaken! It was that floating, rotating sculpture with a bluish glow. I saw it with my own eyes — you and your black-haired companion, accompanied Lady Aglaea, placed that object there at the entrance of the baths.
- Ah, the Space Anchor...
- Karpos: "Space Anchor"? That's quite the poetic and unique name...
- Well, it's not really a statue...
- Karpos: I knew it! It must be some cutting-edge form of artistic expression. I just called it a "statue" as a placeholder.
- Karpos: The baths are always crowded, so it's not unusual to find something new being placed here. But the design of that piece was so avant-garde that every time I passed by, I couldn't help but take a second look.
- Karpos: Now that I've caught you, I'm determined to find out the material and craftsmanship behind it.
- Sorry, I have no idea.
- You'd have to ask my friend...
- Karpos: That's... such a pity. The eerie glow reminded me so much of the Evernight Veil. I had thought you were also someone blessed by Oronyx.
- Karpos: To be honest, I am a mural artist for this Marmoreal Palace. Recently, I've been struggling with a lack of inspiration, but this object has reignited my creative drive... I hope you wouldn't mind if I used it as a reference for my work?
- A Space Anchor personified?
- Karpos: Anthropomorphizing... I must say, that's a great idea! I've even thought of a title for the piece — let's call it "The Spinning Dancer of the Outlands"!
- Sure, go ahead. Show me once it's finished.
- Karpos: Oh, absolutely! I was half expecting you to charge me a licensing fee.
- Karpos: Master, you're such a great person. Your sense of dressing style is so unique — clearly someone who enjoys breaking the rules.
- Karpos: Unlike that talkative Daros —"Miss Karpos, please don't bring your easel into the pool," or "Miss Karpos, we're closing now, so please return during the Lucid Hour."
- Karpos: If your mind is full of those rules and restrictions, how can you be a good painter? Don't you think so, master?
- (Subsequent interactions)
- Karpos: Art comes from life, and life is all about soaking in the bath. As long as I'm here in the baths, inspiration will flow endlessly, just like Phagousa's honey brew.
- Karpos: But honestly, it would be great if the brush could paint by itself — Master, since you're here, why don't you contribute some inspiration to me?
- Want to chat?
- Karpos: Chat? That sounds great, as long as you don't mind if what we talk about becomes the theme for my next piece!
What have you created before?
- Karpos: Haha, who even remembers that? Master, you probably don't remember how many pieces of bread you've eaten either, right?
- Karpos: In most cases, as long as I get inspiration worth putting paint to, I'll find a place to paint on the spot. Sometimes, if I can't fully express that feeling on the wall, I'll paint it somewhere else, like on bottles or jars.
- Karpos: As for themes — I've done 30% Titan legends, 20% stories of Chrysos Heirs, 10% daily life, and the rest are all the curtains of Oronyx, which is perfect for painting a circular view on a jar.
- Karpos: Actually, my house is full of bottles and jars. That's one of the reasons I come to the baths every day...
- Can you make a living with art?
- Karpos: What a question — definitely not!
- Karpos: However, this period is an exception... Many wealthy individuals are anticipating the value fluctuations after salvation, and they will deliberately seek out artworks that "might appreciate in value" to collect.
- Karpos: So if I'm short on Balance Coins, I'll just focus on painting the Chrysos Heirs and their Flame-Chase Journey. The payment will be enough to cover the cost of new paints — you have no idea how expensive those good paints are. Some even have to be taken from the bowls of dromases.
- Karpos: However, recently, the Council of Elders has been commissioning me to create some promotional works. They pay quite generously, but...
- Karpos: ...In their eyes, "original art" is more like a "tool." Every time I paint something for them, it just depresses me. So I just grab a random sketch from the pile of discarded drafts, add a few strokes, and hand it over.
- Karpos: They like it, and I stay calm. It's a win-win.
- What have you been painting lately?
- Karpos: Lately? Mostly collaborating with an old senior to restore murals... It's a big job, spread all over the city. If I weren't so admiring of that senior, I wouldn't even want to take on this work.
- Karpos: But that's not the only reason... I'll tell you a secret. Every time a mural is restored, the artist in charge adds a few strokes of their own. You might think it's nothing, but small changes add up over time. For example —
- Karpos: If I told you that the symbols of Georios at the city gates, which have been there for a thousand Light Calendar years, were originally the story of Aquila, could you imagine that?
- Karpos: Just the thought that prophecies and historical records might have gradually become distorted due to similar circumstances makes me feel a bit sorrowful. Honestly, it dampens any enthusiasm I have.
Let's catch up another time.
- Karpos: Alright, take care... I should probably head out after soaking for a little longer... no, maybe two more rounds...?

- Karpos: I think we could paint it like this...
- Fortuna: I agree, but we might need to strengthen the shadows here...
