[Talking with Adele the other day had served to remind Emil that he really needs to do more about publicizing Brave Vesperia. Okay, so he's been sort of slacking on that end lately, he'll admit to that, but he doesn't want to disappoint Yuri and Zack if they ever return. He owes it to them to do his best as a leader, and that's what he's going to do.

That's why he picks up his journal this afternoon to make an announcement.]

Hi everyone! My name is Emil Castagnier, and I'm one of the leaders of Brave Vesperia here in Luceti. I know I haven't really done much with it since Yuri and Zack left, but it's a guild dedicated to helping people around the village-- we'll do just about anything that needs doing, like helping find lost things, or even building buildings. Anyone can join if they want... you don't need special skills or anything. You just have to want to help out.

Anyway, I just wanted to remind everyone that it exists in case people want to join or have something that they want to ask us to do for them. I'll be down at the barracks for the rest of the afternoon if you want to stop by and sign up or if you have a job you want us to do.

Oh, um, and would the members who are still here mind checking in with me? I'm not sure who all is still around anymore. Only if you're still interested, that is. It's okay if you're not. I haven't exactly been the best leader lately.

[Once he finishes his announcement, he'll head down to the barracks, where he'll stay for the rest of the afternoon in the hopes that some people will stop by.]

Yeah. That's why the only kind of building we usually get asked to do is building new ones, not fixing old ones.

[...]

Hey, why don't you give building something a try? You're really big and strong... I bet you'd be great at it. You wouldn't have any trouble carrying the boards and stuff around.

Me? Building? Listen, kid, I see where you're getting at, but you're putting your quarters in the wrong slot here. That's just not the kind of thing a guy like me should be doing.

Why not? You're strong, and you're tall enough that you wouldn't even have to use a ladder. You look like the perfect guy to be doing that kind of thing.

When you put it like that, sure, it sounds like a great idea! But I'm supposed to be a wrecker. It'll only be a matter of time until I mess this up, too.

How do you know unless you try? Okay, maybe you will mess it up, but you could also end up being good at it, too. You should at least give it a chance before you decide that you can't do it.

Maybe... If people even want me around. Anyone been saying anything about me?

Huh?

[Now he sounds legitimately confused.]

No, nothing at all. Why do you ask?

What? Does... anyone know I got brainwashed by that Ganon-dork?

Ganon... who? I don't know anyone named that.

[Sigh.]

You don't? Guy was causing all kinds of weird trouble the other week. But it doesn't matter. Whether you knew about it or not, he had me under his control easily. Bottom line's I messed up, and I bet it could happen again.

Oh, you mean Ganondorf. I heard about that-- he hurt Alexei pretty badly in their fight. But he hasn't come back yet, has he?

You didn't recognize him when I was one letter off? [He's pinching at the bridge of his nose.] Whatever, kid! I know I haven't seen him. But these big bad guys, they don't stay down for long. He'll be back, and I'll wind up being his miniboss again for the sequel.

[One thing Ralph will eventually learn is that Emil has his moments of... well, dumb. There's no nice way to put it.]

I know that, but Alexei and I have already been talking about what we can do with him when he comes back. You don't need to worry about that. If we keep him down in the tunnels, he won't be able to use any of his magic or powers, so he won't be able to hurt anyone else that way.

[He's not the smartest tetrimino in the game, himself.]

Really? You dudes think you can pull that off? [And it's weird that it's Alexei himself who's involved in it, since Ralph knows that he's... kind of a bad guy himself.] And... he won't be able to do anything down there?

I don't see why not. I know they've kept people down there before when they didn't want someone causing trouble with their powers.

Good. If it really works that well, maybe I'll go see him when he's down there.

Why would you want to go see him if you hate him that much?

To punch him in the face.

... oh. I guess that explains that.

Yep. That's one thing I'm confident I can do, at least.

I don't think anyone would really get mad at you for doing it, either... from the sound of things, there are probably a lot of people who would like to do the same thing.

Well they can get in line. So what? Just one thing they won't get mad at me for.

I really don't think anyone here is mad at you, though. Even if Ganondorf did control you or whatever, I doubt people would blame you for something like that.

I dunno. I've known people to be really good at finding reasons to be mad at me and blame me for things. Sure... Maybe things seemed different here. But maybe this was just the wake-up call this place needed.

Maybe that's true where you come from, but Luceti isn't your world. I know because it was like that in my world too... my whole town hated me and always tried to find reasons to blame me for anything that went wrong. They called me a monster and said it was my fault that monsters kept lurking around outside of town.

No one here has ever blamed me for anything like that. They don't even get mad at me when things really are my fault, even if I deserve it. The people here are kind.
