[Mail time! And Roads has a very special letter-from Ruri Hadou herself! And when the Hadous send you a letter, not opening it tends to end with your kidneys in an ice chest somewhere, so Roads is gonna tear it up right away, the beautifully embossed envelope ravaged quite throughly.]

Hm, so let's see...'Mr. Blackwell, amongst my grandfather's estate, this item was found, along with specific instructions to deliver it to you upon this date, and the following message...'

[Roads holds up the item in question, an ornate golden key, while he reads the note aloud.]

'I hope you enjoyed your vacation, but now the tutorial level's over.'

[His eyes fall on the book that Kouzou left him.]

...That...wait...

2. [Later, and places totally not related to tag #1, a weird girl can be found wandering the ship. Anachronistic clothes, a collar with a heavy padlock-If this sort of thing didn't happen all the time over here she'd deserve some serious scrutiny.]

...Does he have any family left?

[fermionprincess]

There is a daughter of his, is there not? Ruri Hadou, the elegant young lady on whose shoulders the weight of family legacy now lies.

[gift_of_magus]

...Thank you, human.

I'll have to visit her sometime.

[fermionprincess]

I am not but a human. It is I, chosen champion of Conventus Houses, Alessandra Langelier - at your service!

Who might you be then, dear lady? An alien, one who found her way here while in human guise?

I am the Book of Eibon, the most ancient grimoire penned by human hands, the masterwork of the sorcerer Eibon, and the last relic of Hyperborea. I am the most ancient work of mankind that lives to this day, and a weapon of the highest caliber in the unending fight against Evil.

[fermionprincess]

A pleasure to meet you, Book of Eibon!

[Energetic but not awed or surprised at all.]

[gift_of_magus]

...You may call me Eibon.
