Let's Play Nier 19 - Lost in the Mansion & Grimoire Rubrum
25Sometimes there's just that one obscure little item that you need to progress in a game, and you pass it by three times in a row before you realize it's there. That's basically the first part of this episode, but I cut out a good deal of the boring bits so as not to waste any time. Anyways, progressing further into the mansion, we come across Grimoire Rubrum, (Latin for Red if I remember right) an insane and incomprehensible grimoire who we beat the crap out of to obtain the last Sealed Verse and find a cure for Emil's eyes. Next time we'll be returning to the village and... Well... We've got a pretty crazy bit of story coming up, but not before we catch up on the irritating backlog of side quests we've let pile up until now. The next episode or two will just be completing side quests, then we'll be ready for the big story section that's coming up.
Oh yeah, and since we got the Blade of Treachery, here's more weapon lore from Crowley9!
BLADE OF TREACHERY
The two sisters were a perfect pair of walking mannequins.
In no way could you tell they were mechanical.
State of the art technology gave them the gift of life,
Of laughter, of joy, of satisfaction.
But, they could not cry.
They were never meant to cry.
Being mere dolls, they could not feel.
They could be sad, but not feel sadness.
Sadness was unknowable to them. Even the death of a loved one,
Even as their creator succumbed to disease, they felt nothing.
As if their creator had just disappeared from the face of the earth.
One warm spring day, a stray cat approached and greeted them.
Covered in scars, riddled with disease and thin as a rail,
They took it in, and cared for it.
"Ah, what a fuss."
Their tender care rejuvenated it, and in time regained its health.
From that day on, that cat became a fixture in their daily lives.
Every day, it would beg for food, affection, and praise.
"Ah, what a fuss."
Winter's cold blew into the house as it staggered in from outside.
With a weak meow, the cat's strength slipped, and it fell limply to the floor.
The younger shook it again and again. The elder called for it again and again.
But in the end, not a single cry, not a single response came.
Something in the twins, something deep in their hearts, broke.
And from that day on, they felt nothing at all.
