Game Script

Koru-Moru: Yoran-Oran, my good sir-areeno! Might I trouble you for a moment-aroony of your time-diddily-ime?

Yoran-Oran: Why, Principal Koru-Moru. A rare treat it is to see you here-ethy. But of course, my time-ethy is at your disposal.

Koru-Moru: Then let me cut right-aroo to the chase. Loathe as I am to alarm-a-dilly you, I must confess-doodily-ess my concern over Dr. Shantotto's recent ding-dang-doodley behavior.

Yoran-Oran: Dr. Shantotto...? That the doctors predilections defy logic has always been common knowledge-ethy, has it not? I don't see any cause for concern-ethy.

Koru-Moru: That's well and true as a giggity-goobue, but this time I can't shake-aroo the feeling that something is a-brew-areeno. Could it be that the ambitious doctor is do-diddily-dabbling in something so unworldy and twisted-aroo...it mightily-ightily cause unimaginable strife to be unleashed-kapeeshed upon the world?

Yoran-Oran: My dear Koru-Moru, I daresay you're simply-ethy being oversensitive to one of Dr. Shantotto's trademark mood swing-ethies. Not every endeavor she undertakes necessarily-ethy causes a stir, after all. Whatever our eccentric peer-ethy might be up to, it's likely to be just a passing fad. You waste-ethy your energy in worry. Now, if you'll just make-ethy yourself comfortable, old chap, I'll pour you a steaming hot cup-ethy of freshly brewed Windurstian tea!

Koru-Moru: Hrmm...I sincerely hope-diddily-ope it's as you say, Yoran-Oran. I sincerely hope-diddily-ope it's as you say...

  (meanwhile, in Windurst Walls somewhere...)

Shantotto: Wrap your minds around a picture of perfection, surpassed only by me and my immaculate complexion. You'll find not a single hole in my theory; it is pristine. The greatest masterwork the magicking world has ever seen! Magekind is long overdue to take its next big step. With the pure genius of yours truly, from a golden new era we shan't be kept! A moment from now, it'll all make sense. Without further ado, let the magic commence! Hark, portal, I demand of thee! Open up and set me free! Hm? Wh-what...? That my calculations were in err is beyond my comprehension! That I could blunder so defies the established convention!

  (Some time later, in Horutoto Ruins somewhere...)

???: The time has come for us to make our meteoric rise. All who oppose will be dealt with an ample serving of surprise!

???: We venture forth to conquer Vana'diel and claim our birthright.

???: Now and forever more, the fire of the Shantotto Empire shall burn bright!

Domina Shantotto!!! Domina Shantotto!!!

D. Shantotto: We shall teach the world a lesson it shan't soon forget: Our armies are unstoppable so do naught that you might regret!

Domina Shantotto!!! Domina Shantotto!!!

D. Shantotto: Go now with our blessings, we have adversaries to fell. Carry out that which does us proud and makes our spirit well! Ohohoho...O~hohohohoho!
