hello are you looking for help transcribing any bounties? ive been screen recording some bc i also care about this game’s story LOL so far i’ve completed fabrice, melanie, suhua, and chloe (+ others youve already done)
If I'm being honest, I completely overestimated how long my interest in this game would last, and I've got very little motivation to get back to transcriptions... y'all have probably noticed how all of the (relatively) recent posts have just been reblogs from @dislyteacolyte, they're keeping up far better than I am
I appreciate the offer, but I'm not sure if I personally would feel like reviving this blog again? If anyone happens to want the blog, DM me and we can figure something out
Other than that... I suppose this is an official announcement of something I honestly should have mentioned ages ago? Sorry, everyone.

Jiang Man 3: Golden Spider Lily
Characters involved: Jiang Man, Lynn
(Shadow Decree: Office)
Lynn: There you are, Jiang Man!
(LYNN: Shadow Guard)
Jiang Man: What’s up?
(JIANG MAN: Shadow Guard, Has Amnesia)
Lynn waves at Jiang Man enthusiastically.
Lynn: Want a bite to eat?
Jiang Man: ...
Lynn: Or would you like to come for a walk?
Jiang Man: ...
Lynn: You want to go out?
Lynn has been using any excuse to drop by and check on Jiang Man since Jiang Man revealed that she had lost her memories from before.
Jiang Man’s not entirely sure of Lynn’s intentions, but she’s certain that Lynn doesn’t have ulterior motives.
Thus she’s been forced to come up with new, more polite ways of declining Lynn’s invites.
Jiang Man: I’m not really one to go out.
Lynn: ...
Jiang Man shakes her head politely in Lynn’s direction, and gets ready to leave the office for a breath of fresh air.
(Near the Shadow Decree: The Grove)
Jiang Man stumbles on a rather unexpected bed of flowers in the little grove next to the Shadow Decree Building.
Jiang Man: ...?
Jiang Man: These flowers seem very similar to the flower tattooed over my left eye...
Jiang Man approaches the garden and carefully evaluates the flowers floating gently in the breeze. The petals dance up and down with the wind as if about to fly away at a moment’s notice.
Jiang Man: I wonder what kind of flowers these are?
Lynn: Golden spider lilies.
It’s Lynn speaking, she’s standing a short distance behind Jiang Man. She looks at the flowers with an unusual expression of heartfelt care.
Lynn: They’re so beautiful, like a rosy sunset.
Lynn: Actually, I planted these golden spider lilies. I did it after seeing the flower over your eye.
Lynn: Culturally, golden spider lilies signify “elegance and purity”. So in some ways, they really suit you!
Jiang Man: ...
Lynn: Oh, I’m sorry! I hope I’m not being too forward here. Perhaps this isn’t a great topic for you right now.
Jiang Man: It is.
Lynn: Oh?
Jiang Man: Go on.
Lynn takes a moment to steady herself in the face of Jiang Man’s surprising interest in the topic.
Lynn: I can’t say I know a great deal about golden spider lilies. I’ve just picked up a few things here and there.
Jiang Man looks intensely at Lynn, her face is expressionless, but Lynn somehow senses that Jiang Man wishes her to continue.
Lynn: Uh... Most plants flower and grow branches and leaves together.
Lynn: But this lily doesn’t. Its leaves and its flowers develop at different times.
Lynn: Since its leaves and flowers never grow together, some people call it the “faithless plant”.
Jiang Man: Faithless plant...
Lynn; But I don’t think there’s anything faithless about it.
Lynn: There is something perhaps lonely about them, in a symbolic sort of way.
Lynn: What do you think?
Jiang Man isn’t quite sure how to react to Lynn’s question, her opinion having rarely been solicited in the past. Jiang Man remains silent for a moment before answering.
Jiang Man: Either they don’t grow together because they don’t want to see each other. Or...
Jiang Man: They can’t see each other.
Jiang Man thinks of the shadowy figure etched deep in her consciousness, far beyond any place that she can see with her left eye.
Lynn: Although they never meet, they surely must long to for one another.
Lynn: That’s what I’ve always thought.
Jiang Man unconsciously rubs the scar around her left eye as she stares at Lynn.
Jiang Man: Perhaps... you could give me some of these lilies?
Lynn: !!
Lynn: If you would like me to, of course.
Lynn cautiously unearths some lilies, locates an appropriate pot, and then transfers them.
Lynn: I was also wondering, where do you think you’ll keep it?
Lynn: Golden spider lilies are very sensitive to sunlight, but they also need some exposure, so they can’t be too secluded either.
Lynn: Just enough natural lighting should be fine.
Jiang Man takes the beautiful looking golden spider lilies from Lynn’s hands.
Jiang Man: ...I’ll place them by my bed.
Maybe under their protection I can get a glimpse of that enigmatic figure in my dreams even if he disappears when I wake.

Jiang Man 2: The Taste of Memories
Characters involved: Jiang Man, Lynn
(Shadow Decree: Shadow Decree Kitchen - Logistics Division)
Jiang Man: ...
(JIANG MAN: Shadow Guard, Has Amnesia)
Jiang Man slows her pace as she passes the Shadow Decree kitchen. Perhaps its because she hasn’t eaten since the start of her last mission, or maybe its the delicious aromas emanating from the kitchen, but her stomach starts rumbling.
Lynn: Jiang Man?
(LYNN: Shadow Guard, Good at Sports and Cooking)
Lynn: Dinner? Perfect timing!
Lynn pops her head out from behind the door and welcomes Jiang Man warmly.
Jiang Man: I’m fine. I’ll eat later.
Lynn: No problem! We’re cooking up a massive meal for everyone, you’re welcome to have some, of course.
Lynn: What do you usually eat? I’ll whip it up for you now.
Jiang Man: ...
Jiang Man: I’m not quite sure.
Lynn: Eh? Not quite sure what you like, or?
Jiang Man: I can’t recall anything from before I was an Esper. I’m not really sure what I like and what I don’t.
Jiang Man responds calmly, and then turns to depart with a respectful not of the head in Lynn’s direction.
Lynn approaches Jiang Man and takes her hand.
Lynn: Hold on a second. You’re here now. Come on, try some of my handiwork?
Lynn: Surely you’ve gotta be hungry by now, right?
Jiang Man: ...
Lynn pulls up her sleeves and makes a “You can do it!” pose for Jiang Man.
Lynn: Just wait at this table and I’ll have something amazing for you in a jiffy!
Jiang Man allows herself to be seated at one of the nearby tables. Her stomach gives another rumble. All she can do at this point is listen to the noise of Lynn clanging pots and pans in the kitchen and stare at the table directly in front of her.
Jiang Man: There’s a hole in it.
Two hours later
Lynn: Sorry for the wait!
Jiang Man: ...
Lynn emerges carrying one beautifully presented dish after another, each of which she places on the table until there is hardly any space left.
Jiang Man: I can’t eat all this.
Lynn: That’s alright! You can just try a mouthful from each dish.
Lynn: Since you weren’t sure exactly what you like, I decided to make a bit of everything.
Lynn: Wouldn’t it be great if this refreshed your memory?
Lynn bounces her arms off her chest reassuringly in the face of Jiang Man’s bewilderment.
Lynn: Relax, I won’t let this food go to waste.
Jiang Man: ...Uh-huh.
Jiang Man savors a morsel from each dish as Lynn watches excitedly.
Lynn: It’s a signature Gyrate dish! The cheese dog! It’s just as good as that food truck in Amuse Street. You know, they have crowds lining up a mile long.
Lynn: ...A family fried chicken and quiche recipe out of Woodville. What do you think? I hope I didn’t add too much salt and pepper...
Lynn: Oh, you might want to be a bit careful with that one! It’s got a lot of chili! It’s a classic spicy hotpot from Tangton. Can I get you a glass of water?
Jiang Man goes through each dish, sampling every flavor as Lynn provides a running commentary on the food.
Jiang Man’s expression shifts slightly as she comes to the soup.
Jiang Man: What’s this?
Lynn: A specialty from the Sunrise Isles - a “Winter Stew”. It’s full of delicious nutrients. They say it’s good for you if you’re not feeling well...
Something about Lynn’s explanation seems to trigger a memory from deep within Jiang Man.
Jiang Man: It seems so familiar.
Lynn: Oh? Where do you think you could have had it before?
Jiang Man: There’s something very... warm about it.
Jiang Man serves up a large ladle’s worth of the Winter Stew, but gives it to Lynn to try.
Lynn: ...Each mouthful really warms you up!
Jiang Man stares at Lynn, and then shakes her head.
Jiang Man: It doesn’t just warm your body - but here too.
Jiang Man raises her hands to her chest and gives her heart a light tap.
Lynn smiles although she is a little taken aback.
Lynn: I think I found my favorite food.
Lynn approaches Jiang Man for a hug.
Lynn: Even if your memories never come back, you can always make new ones, right?
Lynn winks at Jiang Man as she serves up another ladle.
Lynn: I often cook this dish. If you like, you’re welcome to come and have it with me whenever.
Jiang Man doesn’t respond. There’s something wonderful about this moment that she hopes will last forever.
Jiang Man: Thank you, Lynn. This has been a wonderful dinner.

Berenice 2: Night Night, Darling
Characters involved: Berenice, Brynn
Note: Brynn appears without her wings - this bounty takes place before the main story.
(Gyrate: A live music venue in Gyrate)
Berenice: Brynn! Brynn! Brynn!
(BERENICE: Music lover, Fan of “Sieg & Brynn”)
The audience cheers the band on excitedly at the end of the show. Berenice’s intense cheering makes her stand out from the crowd.
Brynn: You made it, Bennie!
(BRYNN: Guitarist from “Sieg and Brynn”)
Berenice: Of course! I’m your diehard fan!
Berenice: You must be exhausted. Here, have some water.
(Gyrate: Backstage)
The crowd eventually dissipates. Brynn puts down her guitar and heaves a sigh of relief.
Brynn: That’s a wrap!
Brynn: So how are you doing? Good day?
Berenice: I’m all fired up as always!
Berenice watches Brynn put her guitar down, her eyes gleaming with devotion.
Berenice: It’s so cool what you can do with that guitar and your voice.
Brynn: Anyone can learn to play guitar. You could perform like me if you worked at it.
Berenice: Me? There’s no way no way I...
Brynn: Why, what’s stopping you?
Berenice: I’m not gifted like you.
Brynn: Seriously, anyone can learn to play music.
Seeing her friend’s obvious lack of self-confidence, Brynn thoughtfully places her guitar in Berenice’s hands.
Berenice: What?
Brynn: Try strumming it with your right hand.
Berenice cautiously plays a note. It reverberates around the room loudly.
Berenice: Cool.
Berenice: Brynn, could you teach me a song?
Brynn: No problem!
Berenice: I remember my mother used to sing this lullaby to me every night...
Judging from Berenice’s expression, the memory is bittersweet.
Brynn: A lullaby...
Brynn pauses for a moment before getting a wooden guitar from somewhere backstage and handing it to Berenice.
Brynn: No problem. I’ll teach you.
Brynn sets Berenice up with the right posture and grip over the guitar, and then gently guides her to her first chord.
Brynn: Sleep, sleep, my darling.
Berenice appears to be learning fast, but she keeps missing a few key chords with her left hand.
The fingers on Berenice’s left hand are starting to hurt. She tries to conceal it, but it’s obvious from her expression.
Brynn: The guitar takes a while. Why don’t you try singing? I’ll be your accompaniment.
Brynn starts off confidently. Berenice follows, but she’s quite out of tune.
Berenice: Yikes. I told you, I’m not good at music.
Brynn: You can’t think that way, Bennie.
Brynn: There’s a kind of entry bar, but one of the things people love about music is that it’s so universal.
Brynn: And there are literally hundreds of ways that you can get involved in performing your own music.
Brynn picks up her guitar and sings softly.
Brynn: I’ll be on melody, you do rhythm, OK Bennie?
Berenice: Rhythm?
Brynn smiles pointing out the bells on Berenice’s wrist.
Brynn: Even the bell on your wrist is a kind of an instrument.
Brynn gently starts the lullaby melody. Berenice reinforces the tempo with well-timed claps.
Berenice recalls the warm afternoon decades ago when her mom sang her the very same lullaby. She vividly remembers the gentle breeze around the curtains and the “clink-clink” of the wind chimes.
It reminds her of the bells on her wrists.
Brynn: Nice, Bennie!
Berenice: If only mom were still here...
Brynn: ...
The Miracles brought so many tragedies to our world. They broke up so many families and ended so many lullabies.
Brynn: Believe me, somewhere, somehow, your mom can still hear those bells.
Brynn: The power of music is... infinite.
Music is like a voice that speaks to those who needs to hear it.
Berenice: I’m... tired...
Brynn gently taps Berenice on her forehead.
Brynn: Night, Bennie. Sweet dreams!

Jiang Man 1: A Tranquil Heart
Characters involved: Jiang Man, Jacob
(Near Utgard: The Sky Bridge in Utgard)
Jacob: Huh… This is really dragging on.
(JACOB: Shadow Guard)
Jiang Man: Target retrieved. The next mission is…
(JIANG MAN: Shadow Guard, Has Amnesia)
Jiang Man glances at the schedule, looking a little lost. Jacob sidles forward and discovers they have nothing for the next several hours.
Jacob: Time for a break? I can finally get a nap.
Jiang Man: …
Jiang Man's feet remain firmly planted on the Sky Bridge as she looks upon the lake in the distance.
Jacob: Jiang Man, have you been here before?
Jiang Man: ...
Jacob: Jiang Man?
Jiang Man: I... I’m not sure. I can’t remember anything from before I was an Esper.
Jacob is a little startled by this revelation and shakes his head.
Jacob: Right then. You may as well get your rest somewhere closer to home.
Jiang Man: Me?
Jacob: I stumbled on the most marvelous place for a lie-down near here when on a recent mission.
Jacob: I’ll take you for a look. Maybe it’ll inspire you.
Jacob smiles like an excited young boy as he leads Jiang Man away from the Sky Bridge.
(Raine Tundra: Near the Ice Lake)
The water glitters under the dazzling afternoon sun, almost blending the Ice Lake into the glistening snow topped peaks surrounding them.
Jiang Man: Where are we?
Jacob: The Ice Lake is one of the most famous scenic spots near Utgard.
Jiang Man: And yet there’s no one here?
Jacob: That was before the Miracles came, of course.
Jacob: Almost nobody dares to come here nowadays because of the Miramon.
Jacob: So this has become my favorite spots when I get missions in Utgard.
Jiang Man goes quiet as she stares at the gently rippling waters across the lake. She’s trying to recall something, and yet isn’t quite sure what it is.
Jacob: Inspired?
Jiang Man: I... can’t say that I am.
Jiang Man: But I can see the appeal.
Jacob: Right! Quiet and refreshing. Great place for a nap.
Jacob: Ahhh! I’m so tired, I’m gonna hit the hay. Don’t wake me up unless it’s important.
Jacob lies down against the great serpent that accompanies him and is soon fast asleep.
Jiang Man: ...
Half an hour later
Jiang Man is standing quietly by the Ice Lake. Suddenly a Miramon breaks the serenity of the still waters with a roar.
Miramon: *ROAR*
Jiang Man: (Just as Jacob said...)
Jiang Man steals a glance at Jacob, who remains fast asleep.
Jiang Man: (Should I wake him up?)
Miramon: *ROAR*
The rapidly approaching Miramon leaves little time for further rumination. Jiang Man springs into action.
Jiang Man: Away with you!
Miramon: Ooo--
Jiang Man expertly dispatches the Miramon. Strange new thoughts come flooding into her mind.
Jiang Man: What was I doing just then?
Jiang Man: I was trying to... protect him?
Jiang Man takes another look at Jacob who is still blissfully asleep. The sight conjures up some strange, difficult-to-describe emotion within her heart.
Jiang Man: What’s going on...
Nightfall
Jacob: Ahh! What a good rest.
Jacob: Eh? You’re still here?
Jiang Man: You’re up. Then let’s go.
Jiang Man brushes the snow off her skirt, and turns to leave.
Jacob: So what do you think? Perfect spot for a pleasant evening, eh?
Jiang Man turns around again, eyeing Jacob with a blank expressionless face.
Jiang Man: Not bad.

do you have one for Sander? I really want to see some stories and screenshots wont help due to short storage.
Sadly I don't have Sander on either of my accounts, so I can't check, but if/when I do get him I'll let you know!
