"A-Ah! Aah! D-Darx!"
#
<name "Darx">
"I have to talk to you."
#
<sprite "ta12a002.agf" 4 4 12>
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0157">
"Huh? Ah? O-Okay, but...
 Should you really be here?"
#
<name "Darx">
"I'm human."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0158">
"On the side of the demons."
#
<name "Darx">
"Hahaha. Well, I'll trade you a drink in 
 exchange for some answers."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0159">
"Yeah, all right.
 What did you need?"
#
<name "Darx">
"I want to know about Ekate's book.
 How were you able to read it?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0160">
"...That's the result of my hard work!"
#
<name "Darx">
"I'm not here for jokes."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0161">
"Just let me bask in my glory a little."
#
<name "Darx">
"Sorry, but I don't have the time."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0162">
"All right.
 ...I got a hint from someone."
#
<name "Darx">
"A hint?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0163">
"Honestly, it was more like the whole answer
 though."
#
<name "Darx">
"...And who was this?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0164">
"I don't know.
 I'm not lying. That's the truth."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0165">
"If I know, I'd ask if I could be their 
 apprentice. I've got a lot more books that I
 haven't been able to crack."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
It doesn't seem like he's lying.
#
<name "Darx">
"What did they look like?"
#
<sprite "ta12a004.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0166">
"Huh? Who knows?
 Now that I think about it, nothing really
 stood out."
#
<name "Darx">
"Man? Woman?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0167">
"Huh?
 Um..."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0168">
"Why can't I remember?"
#
<name "Darx">
"..."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
He's not joking around.
#
<sprite "ta12a004.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0169">
"Huh? Why?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0170">
"...Hold on. Wait.
 I left Jon at the bar and went back to my 
 room, then... 
 Huh? What was someone doing in my room?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0171">
"I never let anybody in."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0172">
"But why didn't I think about it?"
#
<name "Darx">
"..."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0173">
"Darx, this is bad.
 I think someone put me under a spell!"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0174">
"I remember someone telling me about it,
 but can't remember a thing about them."
#
<name "Darx">
"...That's enough for me.
 I'll buy a round like I promised."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0175">
"Wait a minute.
 ...That's not all."
#
<name "Darx">
"Hm?"
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0176">
"That book..."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0177">
"How did I find it?"
#
<name "Darx">
"..."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0178">
"That book wasn't in my house.
 Did I see it in a dream?"
#
<name "Darx">
"No, it was reality."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0179">
"...You know something?"
#
<name "Darx">
"No. Not a clue."
#
<name "Darx">
"But... the timing of you taking control of
 her is suspiciously good."
#
<name "Darx">
"I couldn't get it out of my mind and had to
 know more."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0180">
"...I-I see."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0181">
"And my memory about it is a mess.
 Looks like your hunch was right..."
#
<name "Darx">
"Something fishy's going on."
#
<name "Darx">
"You should stay out of the forest for a 
 while."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0182">
"...I'll think about it."
#
<name "Darx">
"This might not help, but I'm pretty sure that
 the book's why your memory's messed up."
#
<name "Darx">
"I don't think whoever did it messed with 
 anything except for things about the book.
 Don't overthink it."
#
<name "Roger Marko" "!MA0183">
"Y-Yeah.
 You're right..."
