-===Game Script===
-{{spoiler}}
-[[Cait Sith]] : Well, well. Do my feline eyes deceive me? Playing tricks?<br>
-&nbsp;Or is this <name>? It has been some time.<br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : I was certainly not expecting to run into you in a place like this.<br>
-&nbsp;How have you been since last we met?<br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Surprised, are you, to find that I know your name? Your moniker. <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Hehehe, never underestimate this most regal of felines. <br>
-&nbsp;There is little I do not know. Almost know it all. <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : For example, if I may...<br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : The mischevious deeds with the noble souls of San d'Oria...<br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : I see it all! Have seen it all! <br>
-[[Cait Sith]]: I wonder, by the way, if you have remembered what I asked of you. <br>
-&nbsp;Last time we met, a favor I asked.
-[[Cait Sith]] : The tears of this world, a tidal wave we said. <br>
-&nbsp;I asked you, kind <name>, if we would not make efforts to reduce said tears. Dry some eyes. <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : You've seen, no doubt, the flames of this war. Spreading here and there, engulfing all things. <br>
-&nbsp;There is no time to lose. Not a single second. <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : And so here you have come. And the dances you have seen. <br>
-&nbsp;Carried away in the act, perhaps... <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Are you a bit troubled? A tad lost? <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Perhaps I should have seen to things a bit more thoroughly? More completely? <br>
-&nbsp; Prehaps more could be... If only more... <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Are you fully grasping what is transpiring around you? This power you have, to traipse time. To span the ages. <br>
-&nbsp;How can you use this? What will you do? <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : This battle, that fight, this war, that skirmish... <br>
-&nbsp;So seemingly large in scale, yet all pale in comparison to your grand considerations. <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : What's that? That's what? <br>
-<br>
-[[Raina]] : We've captured it! <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : What is this you do!? For why am I caught!? <br>
-[[Tanja]] : We've captured it! Lilisette! <br>
-[[Judith]] : What...? <br>
-&nbsp;What's this? It looks like we've got an extra fish in the net.. And a weird one at that! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Hahaha! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : All the same. Nothing but another underling of the cat we're after anyway. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : I knew I wasn't wrong. It's just as I thought. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : And so I have you at last. <br>
-&nbsp;Mind your manners before me, cat! <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : How dare you! The nerve! <br>
-&nbsp;I am no mere cat! <br>
-Cait Sith : Come no closer! Keep those filthy hands away! Dirty, dirty hands! <br>
-&nbsp;Do you even groom yourself!? Even keep clean!? <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Such a naive young girl! <br>
-&nbsp;In another ten years, perhaps, might you be worthy of this indignant act against me? Absolutely criminal! <br>
-Lilsette : Ten!? Hah! Perhaps in another hundred years you would find yourself in a position to command me, cat! <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Why you...! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Ouch! <br>
-[[Raina]] : Ow! It bit me! <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : Such an annoying distraction! Distracting annoyance! <br>
-[[Cait Sith]] : <name>! Remember our little chat! Shouldn't be forgot! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Wait!
-[[Lilisette]] : No! We almost had it! <br>
-<br>
-[[Raina]]: [[Lilisette]]... Maybe we should just forget about the cat? Isn't this getting to be a little... obsessive? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : What!? Hold your tongue!
-&nbsp;You don't know what you're talking about! That is not just a cat! <br>
-&nbsp;It's a form taken on by our enemy, come here from years in the future! <br>
-[[Tanja]] : Yeah, we've been meaning to talk to you about that... <br>
-&nbsp;Doesn't that sound a bit...well...ridiculous? <br>
-[[Judith]] : A beastman? Turned into a cat? From the future? Is that what this is all about? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : It's true! If we catch it again I'll prove it to you! <br>
-&nbsp;Don't you see!? The world is in grave danger! We must stop her! <br>
-[[Tanja]] : Alright, alright. Easy now. <br>
-&nbsp;What are we going to do with this one? He's in cahppts with the cat, right? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : What are you looking at? <br>
-&nbsp;Never seen a Hume with long ears before? Hmph! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : ... <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Just exactly are you, exactly? Speak up! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : You look like a nice enough person. But what are you doing running around with that cat? <br>
-&nbsp;Let's hear it. There must be some kind of story. <br>
- Are you a friend of Cait Sith? <br>
-   > Best friends! <br>
-   > I know of her. <br>
-''Best friends!''<br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Well, that's convenient. Ever hear of guilt by association?<br>
-''I know of her.''<br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Hmmm... Just as bad if you ask me. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : There's a lot of questions I'd like to ask. <br>
-&nbsp;But for now I'm going to have to insist that you come with me. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Come now, it won't be all that terrible. <br>
-[[Tanja]] : Uh-oh. Looks like Lilisette has got it out for you. <br>
-&nbsp;You better not cross her. For your own safety. <br>
-[[Judith]] : She may look like nothing more that a cute face.  That is, after all, how she came to be the most popular member of our Troupe Mayakov. <br>
-[[Judith]] : But there is certainly a great deal more to the Moonshade Butterfly than meets the eye. <br>
-[[Raina]] : More like a Moonshade Wolverine! She's a hard-nosed little scrapper when she needs to be. Toughest in the troupe, I'd venture. <br>
-[[Raina]] : I've lost count of how many eligible young bachelors have tried to win her hand. <br>
-&nbsp;But she refuses any suitor who dares to show even the slightest interest. <br>
-[[Judith]] : Oh, I've seen what happened to a few of those. Putting on their smoothest moves only gets Lili even angrier. <br>
-&nbsp;I've seen a few broken noses and dislocated jaws. Shame. Such fine-looking young lads, too. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : I'm not into looks! <br>
-&nbsp;I just hate stupid, weak men. That's all. What's wrong with that? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Wait a minute! Why are we even talking about this!? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Never mind! I'll take care of things from here. Troupe dismissed! <br>
-<br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Ahem! Well, we seem to have strayed a bit off topic there. <br>
-&nbsp;But let me get back to the important topic at hand. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Who are you and what is your relationship to that confounded feline? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : [[Cavernous Maw]]s? <br>
-&nbsp;So that is the name they have been given? And you claim you were sucked into one? <br>
-Lilisette : Then it is just as I suspected. <br>
-&nbsp;That cat is pulling all the strings here... <br>
-[[Lilisette]] :  Hm? You think I'm reacting strangely? <br>
-You're probably going to laugh my story off as idiotic ranting and not believe a word of it, right? Just like the others. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Do as you see fit. It doesn't matter to me. I-- <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : <Gasp>!
-[[Lilisette]] : Th-that's... <br>
-[[Ragelise]] : These courser [[chocobo]]s will carry us to La Vaule. Forget not your steed's water and rations <br>
-&nbsp;And double-check your saddles. We ride! <br>
-[[Ragelise]] : We must reach the village while our brother in the Order of the Madder Falcon are still holding out! <br>
-&nbsp;Open war is upon us, whether we would risk it or not! Male haste! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : [[Portia]]! What are you doing!?
-[[Portia]] : La Vaule is under grave siege by the [[Orc]]s. <br>
-&nbsp;We are riding to its aid with the Knights of the Ironcrest Hawk. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : But you must not go to Dav--to La Vaule! <br>
-&nbsp;It is far too dangerous! I don't know what will happen! <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : This isn't the way things are supposed to happen... Not like this... <br>
-&nbsp;All I know is that something is terribly wrong if the Orcs are attacking La Vaule at this point in the war. <br>
-[[Portia]] : There you go again, Lilisette. Always the one for the crazy talk. Hush now, child. The time for words has passed. <br>
-[[Portia]] : I certainly don't doubt that you are a clever girl. And I must admit that your predictions are more often accurate than not. <br>
-[[Portia]] : But the lives of innocent people are at stake now. We must go to their aid. <br>
-&nbsp;You shall learn in time. Life does not always go according to plan. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : No! No! You don't understand! <br>
-&nbsp;It's not a plan! I know it for a fact!
-[[Portia]] : You needn't worry about me. I've had my fair share if military training.
-&nbsp;This will not be my first time facing an enemy in combat. Nor my last, I should think. <br>
-[[Portia]] : And there is always the gallant Sir Ragelise at my side to protect me. <br>
-[[Mayakov]] : What are you doing playing around in a plathe like thith? <br>
-&nbsp;Get back to the rehearthal hall and continue your training. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : But Mr. [[Mayakov]]... <br>
-[[Portia]] : Go on, head back now. We'll return just as soon as we make sure the village is safe. <br>
-&nbsp;The two of us will be out shopping again in no time, I promise. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : [[Portia]]... <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : You, there... <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : I'm just going to ask you outright... <br>
-&nbsp;You've come from the future, haven't you? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Never mind... You needn't answer. <br>
-&nbsp;But surely now you've noticed something that is a bit off.
-[[Lilisette]] : La Vaule will eventually fall under the permanent control of the Orcs. <br>
-&nbsp;They will rename it. You know it as Davoi. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : But that is not supposed to be happening now... <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : By the way, what do you call yourself? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : <name>... A good name. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : Well, <name>. Have you been able to grasp everything that is going on, yet? <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : If so, then I beseech you to help me. I cannot even begin to imagine what events will come to pass. <br>
-[[Lilisette]] : I fear the worst for [[Portia]] and the others. <br>
-&nbsp;I too must head for La Vaule. <br>
