Both my reputation and my cards were bestowed upon me by that woman.

Do you know which place in this world has the most advanced culinary culture? I'd like to visit it, perhaps.

May the Truth bless you.

I hate all biological creatures that lack exquisiteness... Maybe they are not biological creatures at all.

Rainbow has taken on burdens that I cannot handle.

We once entrusted each other our tears and laughter, until responsibilites made prisoners of us.

I don't mind performing for children. They make me feel at ease.

Gaining weight would decrease the flexibility of my performances, and all my props would have to be remade into bigger sizes.

It can fly, but it can't float.

This Colossus can be considered a miracle, but there are miracles closer to you still.

This place of shelter is so tranquil, it makes one feel uneasy. Perhaps I should remove my head... no, one cannot remove their head.

Did I gain weight...

Just a standard performance.

Cheer for me!

Feel the roar!

Props ready.

I understand.

Switching it up for something new.

Blessed Origin Cards.

Is this the upper limit?

I don't enjoy zoning out. Intrusive thoughts traveling freely through my head, moving towards memories of moments I've worked hard to abandon.

What a good trick.

Alchemy Stars.

Happy New Year! I hope that I can reach my greatest potential, and then make a breakthrough.

Excellent visuals can pull one into an abyss of intense emotions. What's even more exciting and tantalizing is that such visions enable us to make connections between all that we know...

The sound of bubbles breaking up when meeting the side of a ship. The sound of deceptive winds blowing through the cracks of the hull. The sound of miracles to be sacrificed, surging upwards towards me, beckoning to be unveiled.

I'm familiar with the scent of the desperate because I was once one of them.

Selective cards find direction amongst a myriad of driftless thoughts, and vulgar fools are those who cannot bear the hand they've been dealt.

Things are heating up. This hand will make the enemy tremble.

The musical cacophony of rage, glossy cards shuffling back and forth. Heh, gold truly reeks.

The miracle we call magic is, in essence, a gamble between the magician and his props. You must force your muscles to remember the right moves... I wore my socks inside out.

What is this strange feeling? It's become harder to maintain a poker face, and sweat seems to be forming on my back... I see. There must be plenty of enemies nearby.

Sorry, I'm sweating. Simple standing here staring at you has caused me to reveal my hand.

I care not for those flimsy things other than magic. They ridicule me, because I ridicule them.

Magic shows are flamboyant suggestions that are founded upon technical skill and dazzling visual effects. Language? Too much focus on language would disorient the audience and drive them into dark alleys of obscurity.

The passage of time makes you mad at your helplessness, while Truth and only Truth can provide you with all the meanings you yearn for... Such a byline would certainly fulfill Victoria's mission, wouldn't it?

Happy New Year! I hope that I can reach my greatest potential, and then make a breakthrough.

Today, I shall throw myself headlong into the whimsical world of magic that is filled with mysteries and absurdity.

Black coffee is indeed the best, provided that I can hold my cup steadily.

To the inspiration that flutters just out of reach... will you succumb to me and flow into my mind now?

Yet another night saved by magic. Shall we go to sleep?

Happy New Year! I hope that I can reach my greatest potential, and then make a breakthrough.

Dear audience, greetings. I am Jeno the magician and captain of the Emerald. Please stay tuned, for this meeting is just the prologue of the performance to come.

A reward? Thanks.

I feel nervous.

This generous gift...

What can I do for you?

Watch me!

A good show!

Would you like to see a magic trick?

I used to ride the waves and watch the sunrise with Elvis... He would also drag me out of the house to meet new friends. We used to do those things together, once upon a time.

My parents took me to live on the Emerald, to escape the Darkover Crisis, but it didn't belong to me at that time.

I left the Emerald to tour the continent without telling my parents or the man who taught me magic, and ended up meeting that lady.

Your anticipation is appreciated.
