[It should come as no surprise to anyone that this is where Uendo would gravitate to first. What better place to start learning the stories of this country, if not a museum?
Although he's certain to look at everything, it's the painting of Eidolons he lingers at the longest, carefully studying each and every deity on display. Why is it that there are so many new ones here, that even the Summoner Guild didn't seem to know about?
...And then there's that.]
Oh, come on now. Really?
[Why would anyone vandalize a historical relic for Ultros?]
2) The Opera
[And this, of course, is the next place to go to. You can learn a lot about people based on what kind of performances gain popularity.
Watching the story unfold, Uendo finds himself thinking of Kalki, back in that memory he saw in the Dream Width. She was frightening, very much so... but so truly, deeply distraught, weeping all the way as she pushed the crystallized Heroes into a more secure place...
The play is likely romanticizing the events a fair bit, but still. Was Kalki really just a person broken by a life of unrelenting misfortune? Maybe she went to such extreme lengths because she simply couldn't cope with the hurt...
...Uendo can't help but relate a bit more than he really wants to. By the time the play is wrapping up, he's looking rather misty-eyed and trying not to sniffle.]
Geez... When did I become such a sucker for cheesy endings? [He mumbles, as though he wasn't always an emotional nerd.]
3) Ardynian Discovery - Jester Guild
It's perfect.
[From the outside, it looks like Uendo is just staring, completely transfixed, at the demonstration held by guild members to attract potential newcomers. Inside, a heated argument is taking place.
'I want iiiit! I want it I want it I want it--' 'You don't need a Job to be a jester, Patches! Stop drooling, you're making us all look ridiculous!' 'I have to admit, I really want it too...' 'And you don't need a Job to make even more of your atrocious puns, Uendo!'
It's quickly dawning on Kisegawa that this is a battle she's on her way to losing.]
4) Ardynian Discovery - The Pyramid
[Once she's finally able to drag them away from the guild, Kisegawa takes control for the time being. There's another place she wants to have a look at.
It's a long climb to the pyramid where the Prime Minister is supposed to live, but the view alone is worth the trouble. What really gets her attention, though, are the murals on the walls. At first glance they resemble the same old creation story they've seen everywhere else, but... Isn't there something different here?]
That can't be right...
[Kisegawa mutters to herself as she takes in the narrative being shown. Instead of defeating the goddess of death, the heroes just die to pass the baton to another generation. Did Futaba's notes mention anything like that...?]
