Dialogue

"Eternal Holy City" Okhema

(First interaction)

Xenia: ...

Hello!

I want to take a bath!

Xenia: ...

Anyone there?

Hey, don't ignore me...

Xenia: Ah, apologies, good guest. I was distracted. You are... I've heard about you before — the warrior from foreign lands who assisted the Chrysos Heirs, am I correct?

Xenia: Welcome to Marmoreal Palace, good guest. Lady Aglaea has instructed us to receive you and your fine companions as esteemed guests.

Any perks that come with that?

Xenia: Of course. Lady Aglaea must have told you about this place, but allow me to give you a thorough introduction...

But you just ignored me.

Xenia: My sincerest apologies, good guest. My thoughts wandered out of the Gate of Infinity just now, I absolutely did not mean to ignore you.

Xenia: Rather, if you don't mind, I would hope to converse further with you, and listen to your tales outside the city.

Xenia: These matters aside, Lady Aglaea should have briefed you about this place. Please allow me to elaborate on the privileges you possess.

Xenia: You can enter and exit the bath anytime, use the bath's various facilities free of charge, and enjoy exclusive discounts on paid amenities, though this offer does not extend to some products.

That's amazing!

Xenia: Allowing people to wash off their taint and attain serenity — that's the original inspiration for the construction of Marmoreal Palace. The warriors who assisted in defending Okhema are even more worthy of commendation, so it is only natural that we provide the respective services.

Why isn't it all free?

Xenia: Sincerest apologies, but the staff here also need to earn a living... Also, it does not reflect well on Talanton's teachings if a good intention goes astray.

Xenia: As for the reading room, pool restaurant and other amenities... Hmm, I'd better leave their introductions to my other bath coworkers.

Xenia: This is all I have to say. You may go in and have a look around. I will proceed to daydream here and snap back to reality when you talk to me.

(Subsequent interactions)

Xenia: ...

Daydreaming again?

Helloooo...

Xenia: Apologies, this way to enter... Ah, it is you, my good guest. Glad to see you again, what do you need?

I want to buy something.

Xenia: That's no problem, but the city has recently undergone some changes, and we have a limited selection of merchandise. Let's see... We currently have these for sale. I can introduce them in detail if you're interested.

Light Calendar Membership

(First time)

Xenia: If you intend to be a regular at our baths, paying for a membership is surely the wisest choice.

But my VIP privileges...

Isn't it free to enter the baths?

Xenia: Ah, please do not misunderstand, membership does not include discounts or membership points. Simply put, this payment is akin to a gift for Phagousa...

Xenia: ...Truth be told, Marmoreal Palace's bath was not meant to be free in the beginning — we employed the pay-as-you-go policy. The designer may have their reasons behind this but it felt more like a scam to our guests when they were asked to pay.

Xenia: No one ever brought this matter up later on, but we still kept the payment channel — this is the true meaning of the membership. Which is why you will earn the respect of all bath staff if you join our membership!

So that's what it is, huh?

Xenia: Yes.

That's it?

Xenia: That's it.

Xenia: If I may... Would you like to join our membership?

I'll join up!

(Submit Credits ×10000): Xenia: ...Honestly, I didn't expect you'd really do this. Ah, please do not misunderstand, I had no intention of disparaging you, it was simply because it's been ages since someone joined our membership.; Xenia: I will spread word of your generosity across Marmoreal Palace's debate forum.; Later...; Xenia: Approval numbers have exceeded 30,000? And there are other guests who wish to join the membership...; Xenia: I don't know what to say, good guest. You are a hero of the bath. As it stands, if we don't present you a fair reward, Talanton will surely castigate us for our ingratitude... Allow me to chant a bath prayer for you then.; Xenia: "They who sway in water, who savor in secret brew, rejoice in Phagousa and their devotee. Over the oceans, within the tempests, we accept transience as constant company, yet among us happiness prevails wondrously."; Xenia: Your name will forever be remembered in Marmoreal Palace's annals — may Phagousa protect you, good guest.
(Obtain Memory Crystal Shard ×1)

Forget it.

Xenia: Mm, it is only natural that you refuse such a financial sham. Please do not take it to heart. Will you take a look at the others?

(Subsequent interactions)

Xenia: Good guest, we are extremely grateful, but joining the membership twice will be far too harmful to your wealth. Please browse something else.

(Available after Condition missing)

Classical Bath Salts

Xenia: This is a type of bath additive that is said to grant the user an experience equal to the time when the prophecy was bestowed upon the Chrysos Heirs. Also, it appears that... this is the last in stock. A most rare opportunity, my good guest.

I'll take it!

(Submit Credits ×10000)

With no time to waste, you head back to the private bath, eager to try it out...

You bathe in the soft water in the embrace of nice and rich bubbles, the faint floral fragrance of the bath salts adds a certain cozy touch to the room. Ah, is there anything more relaxing than a bubble bath after a long, labored journey?

You don't know if an "experience akin to when the prophecy was bestowed" is another one of those gimmicky slogans similar to commercial spam, but the quality of the bath salts itself proves its worth — if not for the talking mist in front of you.

???: Ah, child, are you doing well in my courtyard?

???: You look confused — before you stands Lephake, the greatest Titan in all of Omlophas. If you want to get the photostone, there is no better time than now.

Is this the moment of prophecy bestowal?

Lephake: Prophecy? What prophecy? I'm just here to drum up support.

Lephake? Not Kephale?

Lephake: Who? Oh, that's my brother. We look similar, but Kephale's not as majestic and dignified as I am!

Lephake: You see, it's the time of the year again for the Titan popularity vote. The competition this time round is quite intense — Ol' Thannie's new album has got all the disciples in a zealous frenzy, and Mnestia's fabulous outfit at the fashion exhibition has garnered plenty of supporters.

Lephake: Surely you understand what I'm doing here, no? I guess you may call this a moment of prophecy bestowal anyway. Pray perk your ears and listen, devout "Argyros Heir"...

Lephake: "Cast your vote for the blue mushroom, and receive a discount of ten Balance Coins for your next purchase of a hundred thousand."

Lephake: Remember, remember, remember...

...

Dan Heng: ...?

Dan Heng: (Trailblazer), are you all right? You've been soaking in the bath for more than two hours.

Shaking your still-dizzy head, you notice you have returned to the public bath...

Xenia: That face of yours... Did you meet Zagreus in person? Every customer who bought this reacted similarly to you... How curious.

Xenia: In any case, thank you for your patronage. Hope to see you again soon.

Forget it.

Xenia: Let it keep gathering dust then. Do you need anything else, good guest?

I have nothing to buy.

Xenia: Understood. May your fatigue be washed away in Marmoreal Palace, good guest.

I'm here to chat.

Xenia: Mm, your apparent idleness is enviable... even if it is similar for me.

Why are you always in a daze when I see you?

Xenia: Because of the waterfall.

Xenia: ...Should I... elaborate?

Xenia: Just as the artists say, the eternal night that Oronyx symbolizes is a thing most suited to spark the inspiration of creation. And to me, the thing that stimulates my thoughts is this — Marmoreal Palace's waterfall.

Xenia: Myriad knotted thoughts will undo themselves when I listen to its constant splashing barrage. The only price I have to pay is the manager's constant yammering: "Keep slacking off and Thanatos shall take you away."

How's work?

Xenia: It's all right. The previous attack has had some effect, but everything is otherwise stable. It's just... we need to be more watchful with guests who are warriors or guards in some capacity.

Xenia: From what I've noticed, there has been a rise in guests with minor injuries coming for a soak, as well as a downturn of regular customers... I hope they are all right.

Xenia: But... I believe that this is temporary. Okhema's people have always been hardy, and so will the future — may Kephale protect us.

Tell me about the baths.

Xenia: Mm, it somewhat terrifies me that I am to elaborate on Lady Aglaea's words... I shall tell you about matters that only staff are privy to then.

Xenia: We claim that Marmoreal Palace's history dates back to several thousand Light Calendar years, but its history is technically shorter than that. The fact that it's younger than as claimed has only highlighted the talent of its builders.

Xenia: As for the baths themselves, apart from the central pool, the water in the other pools is no ordinary water, but mixed with substances that nourish the body, such as bath salts, milk, and Phagousa's ambrosia, among other things.

Xenia: They all offer different effects, and you can tell the difference from their aroma. Also... some people say that imbibing the bath water directly yields even more effective results, but I strongly recommend against doing that.

No worries, I won't bother you then.

Xenia: You're not. May your fatigue be washed away in Marmoreal Palace, good guest.

No worries, I won't bother you then.

Xenia: You're not. May your fatigue be washed away in Marmoreal Palace, good guest.

"Fallen Twilight City" Okhema

Xenia: It's a relief to see you safe and sound...

Can you tell me about the situation?

Xenia: I don't know exactly what happened... the sky suddenly darkened, then screams came from the upper level of the baths...

Xenia: Then the creatures appeared! Thanks to the guards who were bathing during their shift, plus the "rainbow membrane" that blocked the creatures' attacks, everyone managed to evacuate in time.

Xenia: Gathering everyone here was my suggestion, since the creatures seem unable to pass through this water curtain. I hope the chaos outside calms down soon, especially since many people have family members still at the market...

If the "Era Nova" arrives under these circumstances...

Xenia: I... to be honest, this terrifies me. If everything unfolds as the scholars predict, and all memories vanish... would the person living in the new world still be me? What if...

Xenia: Sorry, please forgive me. I probably feel too comfortable around you to voice these concerns... please don't share my worries with others.

Xenia: The promise of "Era Nova" remains the only solace for those of us here. So for now, this will suffice... yes.

So what's your plan now?

Xenia: We've just made contact with other guards, and once they confirm it's safe outside, they'll escort us to meet everyone at the Plaza...

Xenia: But I plan to stay here a while longer. The reception area can't remain in such disarray, and there are also goods that need to be packaged...

I understand.

I don't understand.

Xenia: Well, I'm just making excuses. The Marmoreal Palace carries the passion and memories of the Okhemans. It may close temporarily, but it has never been desolate. I'm attached to these waters, so I'll stay here. Call it... stubborn, I don't know.

Xenia: If this crisis passes and the prophesied new world hasn't arrived... I'll still be here, ready to welcome you back to the baths.

Beyond Time: An Eternal Page

Bacchus: In the end, you all get to take it easy while I'm still swamped with work.

Zenotus: Can't help it, old friend. No matter how drastically the world changes, people's thirst for ambrosia remains the same.

Daros: While other Ambrosia Managers are bustling about, the drinking spot is as lively as what Styxia used to be.

Xenia: After being busy for so long, I don't even know what to do with myself now that I suddenly have free time. All I could do is just sit here staring blankly at the waterfall of Marmoreal Palace.

Time to enjoy a long vacation!

Why are your baths closed?

Daros: Hmm, the damage is pretty severe. It'd be pushing it to keep operating like this.

Zenotus: Oh, look who's here! How about joining us for some drinks?

Xenia: Just ignore them. I know what these ambrosia fools have in mind — "All that matters is the next drink!"

Bacchus: Haha, bottoms up! When an honored guest arrives, we've gotta have a drink!

Zenotus: Manager, didn't you always say ambrosia's rich aroma is best savored with the steam of the baths?

Bacchus: That's all well and good, but we don't really have those conditions anymore.

Daros: So, what if the Marmoreal Palace is fully restored...?

Zenotus: ...

Xenia: ...

Daros: Come on, say something! We're all thinking the same thing, aren't we?

Bacchus: I wouldn't want to trouble guests like you.

Xenia: Me too...

Zenotus: What's wrong with that? Okhema has only survived to this day through countless renovations and repairs over hundreds of Light Calendar years.

Bacchus: Since we're on the topic, haha! I know some regulars who pack quite a punch!

Xenia: ...Fine, I don't care how much trouble it'll be — count me in.

Daros: Talk about hitting it off! Let's get this show on the road.
